Fitness & Gyms near Needham Heights, MA

“I’ve never been much of a gym person and my wife strongly persuaded me to join. One of the best decisions ever! The workouts were easy to learn and understand and I have been steadily able to achieve my fitness goals. I’m now accomplishing and staying consistent with coaching and community. But equally importantly, the owner and the trainers are absolutely amazing and incredibly supportive.”

“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!!”

“Joining Sweat Fixx was the best decision I’ve made!! Highly recommend anyone who’s looking for a new gym to try it out, you won’t regret it and I promise you’ll be hooked!”

“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!”

“Reimagym is more than just a gym. It’s a community of radiant people - some just also happen to be wonderfully knowledgeable coaches and friendly staff!

Pre-Reimagym, I was struggling to find a routine and community again after having moved. Other gyms didn't seem to offer what I was looking for, or communicate using inclusive language that made me feel sure or safe.

My first introduction to Reimagym was through comments on an FB post, and right off the bat, the vibe was.. brighter. More inviting. People spoke highly of it from a place of gratitude and love. After visiting the website and doing an in-person trial, I was reassured to continue with a membership by the inclusive and supportive language and the kindness I was met with! Every single person, coaches and members alike, radiates inclusivity and support.

I am so so so grateful to have been led to Reimagym. I feel so much better and stronger having a routine again - Even when I don't want to go to the gym, I still go and am *always* glad that I went. Not only for the great workouts, but also to see the lovely people that find themselves there as well. It's hard to feel lonely when you're surrounded by people who are rooting for you!!

Thank you Reimagym ❤️”

“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.”

“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!”

“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)”

“This is the place you want to train if you're an athlete. I've known about COMPETE for many years and believe me, it is as advertised. If you are an athlete anywhere in New England. You need to make an effort to check this place out and talk to Joe.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Thorough attention to all the right details. Committed to creating a strong foundation to prevent injury and imbalances so they can gradually improve strength and speed. Both my 12-yr old son and I are now training with Joe and Trevor.”

“I used to use various weight machines casually and inconsistently, I would invariably burn out on whatever exercise plan I tried to come up with on my own. Have never experienced consisent gains in strength like I have in the mere month I have been going to this place. Coaching is always spot on and Michael has an uncanny ability to catch at a glance from across the room whenever I've loaded an incorrect weight on the bar. Would recommend to anyone.”

“I've been a member at TILT for almost 2 years now but I have been going to the location in Waltham for about 4 months now and I absolutely love it! All the coaches are great but Cam especially is the best coach I have ever had! He always pushes me to do more, always so encouraging and keeps the class fun! It really makes me look forward to coming to class. I also love the community that we have in the gym where everyone wants to see each other succeed.”

“We are so grateful for Inclusive Fitness (West Roxbury) and the welcoming, supportive environment they provide for neurodivergent individuals. Since joining IF, our son looks forward to every session. He especially enjoys working with Coach Kristin who connects with him in a way that builds both confidence and trust. The focus on building strength for activities of daily living has made a meaningful difference, and we are seeing that progress carry over into everyday life. Inclusive Fitness has been an incredibly positive experience for our family.”

“I did a free trial class at F45 Dedham and loved that they offer early morning options for busy people like myself. I got myself up for the 5:15am class and was warmly greeted. When your figuring out your fitness journey it can be daunting trying to navigate. The trainers and people you workout are all so welcoming and helpful! I made it through the 45min cardio workout. And highly recommend to anyone who wants to feel the mental and physical push in their life. I'm strongly leaning towards doing their 3 day trial for $30!”

“VIP treatment for cancer patients and their visitors. Easy parking. Spotless facilities. Exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly medical and office staff. Most impprtant world class cancer treatment.”

“Did a trial class. Super friendly attendees. Definitely not for beginners. Limited scalability. I lift weights progressively, but this was above my current training level.”

“Really great gym. I decided to join while I was going to school at Tufts University and it was definitely worth it. I would recommend this place for any one who enjoys working out no matter their experience level because there is a great community who you can go to if you have any questions. I would also like to say that I think this gym makes you rethink your perspective on commercial gyms in that while the price is higher here you truly see a return on investment with equipment often repaired in the same week they break and there being noticeable upgrades every year. Something which I have not experienced in commercial gyms. It truly feels like the money you put in to the gym is being given back to you in many ways.”

“I have tried various fitness classes, gym memberships, and at-home routines, and Orange Theory has been the best fit for me by far. I really like the mix of strength training and cardio, and being able to adjust the intensity based on the heart rate monitor as well as by feel. I like not having to plan and think about which exercises to do, like with a gym, and I like that they have a lot of variety. Also, as a migraine sufferer, I liked that I was able to slowly build my strength back up without triggering too many migraines in the process. The coaches are great, making sure you don't get hurt, offering corrections sometimes, and looking out for me when first starting out.”

“Awesome group classes with knowledgeable trainers and fun environment. They are great about accommodating abilities and injury concerns. I also highly recommend personal training with Connor- I learned so much and got the best workout tailored to my needs!”
