Fitness & Gyms near Hyde Park, MA

“The aerobic water fitness classes on Mon, Tues and Fri consistently are full to the limit with a wait-list. The exec director should offer more classes at more times. Parkway in West Rox has water fitness daily but is not as full and the instructor is better at Menino. Participants in the class come from all parts of Boston even Quincy because the class quality is great.”

“The new manager, Tanya, is absolutely amazing. The old manager was okay, but she would let anyone do anything they wanted. I would see them let basic plan members use the black card spa, the would always be talking loud on their phone, bring in equipment, and more that goes against planet fitness rules. Tanya is extremely helpful, caring, and very informative. She’s brought this gym back to life. Not only is it clean, organized, and enforces policies and does it in a nice way the staff seems happier now as well. I was close to canceling because it was no longer the what planet fitness use to stand by but with Tanya there now. It’s back to that environment and I’ll be staying. She does amazing. You’re lucky to have her.”

“I’ve been going to Barre3 in Brookline for a little over 2 years now, and it’s the best part of my day every single day. The front desk staff and instructors are incredibly kind and welcoming, and I always feel safe and supported in my classes. I’ve grown so much stronger and can feel a significant difference in my life since going to barre. I love it!! <3”

“Poli has been wonderful with my parents. Her friendliness and energy make sessions enjoyable, and she’s helped them noticeably improve their mobility. We’re really grateful for her.”

“Amazing CrossFit studio for anyone who wants to challenge themselves! The schedule is incredibly convenient for a working parent. Every class is different and never boring. Instead, it’s highly motivating because you are training alongside dedicated people who show up religiously. The instructors are attentive - they correct your form and carefully guide you through new movements. I had never done high-intensity strength training before, and now I can't imagine my life without it! I also like the gym's minimalist design without unnecessary glamour - it is very cozy and makes you focus on yourself and surviving that hour!”

“I am a nanny for a 3 and 1 year old who both love coming to My Gym Newton!! The classes are always so much fun for them and the coaches are amazing. Leila, Fiona, Frey, Marcus and Rachel are all great! They are always super engaging and keep the kids entertained all class long. We could not recommend My Gym Newton more!!”

“Loved dropping in here!! The members were so nice. Great culture. Coach was attentive and invested in my fitness. If you’re in the area, go here. They deliver a great product!”

“I signed up at Burn Needham through a 28-day challenge special. At my first class I was astonished how many people I met there attend camps 5-6 times a week. One month into it I am now one of those daily participants and I love it. The community and motivation from trainers and other campers is addictive. I feel challenged and simultaneously supported. Thanks Burn!”

“I can’t say enough good things about this gym. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the energy and the level of care that goes into everything here. The facility itself is top-tier clean, well-equipped, and set up in a way that actually pushes you to work hard and improve every single day. What really makes this place special, though, is the environment. Everyone is included, no matter your level. Whether you’re just starting out or already experienced, you’re treated with respect and pushed to grow by everyone. There’s no ego, just people trying to get better together. The camaraderie here is something you don’t find anywhere. The fighters build real relationships like a family , something that is unheard of in this sport. You’re not just training next to people, you’re going through the grind together, supporting each other, and holding each other accountable.
And the coaches? Honestly, they’re on another level. Matthew Nolan and Mark Nolan lead the gym in a way that sets the standard every day, and coaches like KB, Paige, Alex and Paul bring that same intensity and care every day. They’re not just great coaches, they’re people you genuinely look up to. They push you, believe in you, and want to see you succeed both in and out of the gym. If you’re serious about boxing or even just looking to challenge yourself, this is the place to be. 5 stars isn’t enough. Without this place, I would not be who I am today, not only as a fighter but as a human being as well.”

“Best workout studio in Boston! The classes are similar to Barry’s, but with a much better format and amazing instructors. Every workout leaves you feeling challenged and truly burned out, without ever feeling rushed. The pacing is perfect, and you actually get the most out of the class. On top of that, the community is great, and the owners are always there, which makes it feel personal and welcoming. Highly recommend!”

“Fitness Unlimited is my home away from home. From the minute you walk in it is the most welcoming workout club I have ever been a member of. The instructors are all so knowledgeable, the employees are all so kind and the members are amazing! I have made so many new friends. Also, the fitness center is immaculate. There’s a full schedule of classes seven days a week.”

“EastieFit is an exceptional gym for Crossfitters at all levels looking to improve their fitness and find a community. The coaches are knowledgeable and welcoming. I became friends with other members through classes and events hosted by the gym. I also improved my strength and technical CrossFit movements.

I highly recommend this gym for any person.”

“My home studio is in Bedford, NH. Today I had business down in The Watch City, and i wanted to make sure I could work in a class around lunch time. The location was 2 miles from where me meetings were so it was easy to make the Noon class. My first visit to OTF Waltham and I hope to be back again!”

“I can’t speak any higher about the quality of service I have received if I tried. From my private sessions with Coach Kevin to my PT appointments with Katie I feel better now in my 30’s than I did at any point in my mid to late 20’s. I’ve become a full believer in acupuncture thanks to the work I’ve done with Katie. I have no more tightness at all in my calf muscles and that’s really new for me. 100% recommend to everyone I know to come here!!!!!”

“Romel is a regular, hardworking guy. I've been training with him for a few months now and I am seeing and feeling the progress. The space is great, the location is ideal, and the hours are expansive: Romel is in that gym _all the time_.

Romel has clients in all kinds of situations and he can tailor the workout for you. He can meet you wherever you are, and push you up to the next level.”

“Great perk if you are staying at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza - included with your stay. Highly recommend if this is an important amenity while traveling. You won't be disappointed.”

“I dropped in while vacationing in Boston. This place was awesome! Great vibe, great people, and great coaches! They were so welcoming, and from what I experienced they had great programming. If I am ever in the area again I will be back!”

“5 stars only because 6 stars isn’t an option! Small group personal training is effective, fun and highly inclusive regardless of fitness level. Staff is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. Can’t recommend Dirty Water highly enough.”

“Amazing time here! The instructor Dima was very kind and welcoming my first time coming and trying out Jiu Jitsu. The fellow sparrers were also understanding and informative on improvement. Great atmosphere overall”

“I've been a barre3 member for years, and it remains one of the best decisions I've ever made. Every instructor brings exceptional energy and expertise, making each workout both effective and enjoyable. What truly sets this studio apart, though, is the community — from the welcoming staff to the incredible members, you feel at home from the moment you walk in. Needham is lucky to have such a gem.”

“Flight Performance and Fitness was my first real strength training experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. My experience was incredibly rewarding! From day one, all of the trainers knew my name, helped me through my workouts, and made sure I was using proper form. Dan Stone worked closely with me, took my goals seriously, and built a program that felt truly personalized. Magnus and Bryce were also always available to help and encourage me. I was honestly surprised by how much progress I made in only six weeks. Beyond the training itself, the gym has a fun, supportive atmosphere, with friendly coaches and a welcoming community. Highly recommend!”

“I love being at spin classes here! Pre-pandemic, I was in a 5-morning-a-week routine at my workplace gym with a fun instructor and a great little crew. Coming to FireCycle for morning classes has revived my energy and enthusiasm for getting out of bed each day! I didn't realize how much I truly missed this kind of great cardio workout. It's a welcoming place with great instructors and it is CLEAN...I mean CLEAN. It is cleaner than pretty much anywhere in my house and for sure any gym or even restaurant I've ever been to! It's so easy to just drop in, hop on a bike with your water bottle, and get into whatever dance music or mashup the instructor has cued up. They provide towels and even a shower (did I mention how clean this place is?). Lots of street parking available for early morning classes. Come join the fun and get into a great healthy new routine!”

“I've been member since August 2024 and can't recommend this gym enough. I have a background in weight lifting but I could never stay consistent until I started working out here. What was great for someone like me was that I didn't need to guess or find some questionable routine on instagram to follow: the trainers make tailored programs targeted at your goals and build around any limitations or past injuries you may have. As a bonus they are also very easy going and supportive which is great for someone like me who had gym commitment issues in the past. There also isn't any pressure while you're in the weight room: there's plenty of equipment so rarely any need to work in and with the small groups you get plenty of one on one time if needed. For someone like me who just needed a little extra push, its been perfect. I've seen great results and plan to continue coming for as long as I live around Waltham. Come hang out! We're pretty fun”

“Visiting Boston this weekend and had a great Inferno class with Coach Tyler! Helpful and encouraging! When I am back in Boston I will make sure to go to this studio! (-Renee from Charlotte)”

“What a great place to be. 3 months in and you begin to understand why people stick with it for so many years. I'm enjoying the journey ?

I particularly love to see how amazing the trainers are with those who come in as day 1 beginners to seasoned athletes. It's an important skill to be able to make each of us feel valued and these trainers have it ??

Crossfit has changed many lives. It's changing mine. Come and try a class for free!”

“came into town from pittsburgh. was welcomed with great customer service. absolutely incredible layout, better than what i have at home. 15 for a day pass was well worth it in my opinion. wish i was here longer to try a session of boxing, the trainer looked phenomenal at his job. footwork on point🙌🙌”

“I've tried just about every fitness program over the years—CrossFit, traditional weightlifting, running, cycling, and group classes—but Power Rowing with Bryan Fuller has been the most effective and sustainable workout I've ever found.

The workouts are incredibly efficient, combining strength and cardio in a way that delivers real results without beating up my body. The low-impact nature of rowing means I can train consistently, recover quickly, and still push myself every session.

Bryan is an outstanding coach, but he's also just a genuinely great person to spend an hour with. He's knowledgeable, encouraging, and has a fantastic sense of humor that keeps the classes light and fun, even when everyone is working hard. He knows exactly when to push you and when to make the room laugh, creating an atmosphere that's motivating without ever feeling intimidating. It's a big part of why so many people keep coming back.

The results speak for themselves: I'm in the best shape I've been in for years and have lost about 15 pounds, all while feeling stronger, healthier, and with far fewer aches and pains than I experienced with higher-impact workouts.

If you're looking for a workout that's efficient, effective, low-impact, and genuinely enjoyable, I can't recommend Power Rowing and Bryan Fuller highly enough.”

“Invictus Boston - Fenway has an amazing community of people that keep you in the game and give you a reason to stay motivated. The coaches have a shocking amount of patience and I am so happy they did not give up on me in the few days I dropped in.

I never thought I would enjoy any workout with how cold it is in Boston. Just getting out from the hotel to wait for the Lyft and get to gym was a struggle but just because you’re in vacation doesn’t mean we forget about it our health first.

Great facility, fantastic workout planning, top notch spot. If you were looking for a way to change your life - drop everything and go to Invictus Boston - Fenway right now!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”

“This is so much more than a gym! You’re joining a village of people who truly care about YOU. CFN is where to be if you want to mentally and physically feel good. Gil genuinely gets to know each member and helps you achieve whatever goals you have in mind. You’ll wake up wanting to go each day. It’s for everyone regardless of your age or physical abilities. Not to be dramatic, but it’s life changing. Come see!”

“After years of working out on my own, I knew I needed a change. My routine was no longer delivering the results I wanted, and I realized I needed some guidance and accountability. From my first conversation with Ray, I was welcomed with encouragement, support, and a genuine commitment to helping me succeed.
The trainers are knowledgeable, motivating, and truly invested in their clients’ progress. The gym itself is modern, clean, and well-equipped, creating an environment where you actually look forward to showing up. The group classes are challenging, effective, and surprisingly fun.
Most importantly, RayFit has helped me achieve results that I wasn’t able to achieve on my own. It’s been a life-changing experience, and I feel stronger, healthier, and more confident than I have in years.
My only regret is that I didn’t sign up sooner.”
