Fitness & Gyms near Newton Highlands, MA

“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!!”

“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”

“I spent a week training at Arsenal Health this August. I was made to feel immediately welcome. Coaching staff and owner are knowledgeable, attentive, easygoing, and just enjoyable to be around. The programming is adapted three skill levels and was perfectly challenging for a 14 year athlete. Highly recommended for locals and visitors alike.”

“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.”

“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!!!!!”

“SweatFixx Arlington offers the best fitness classes. The classes are fun and challenging, and the instructors are super knowledgeable and encouraging. I have been taking classes for the past 4 years and as a result, I am definitely stronger and more fit.”

“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”

“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!”

“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!”

“I’m the Founder of Adaptive Training Academy, and we recently partnered with this gym as a host site for our Adaptive & Inclusive Trainer (AIT) seminar.

While I didn’t attend as a regular member, I can confidently say that if I lived in the area, I would absolutely join this gym. The facility was extremely well managed, with a team that was welcoming, professional, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire seminar.

The space itself is very clean and organized, with plenty of equipment to support a wide range of training needs. Parking was also easy and accessible, which made logistics smooth for both our staff and attendees.

Overall, an outstanding experience and an ideal environment for both education and training. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“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 really like working out at Boot Camp in Needham. I haven’t exercised in years so I was really anxious to start. However, all the trainers are so helpful. They really make you feel like you can accomplish anything. They help you modify as needed and they’re always there to encourage you. Anybody that wants to work out should definitely give them a try. It’s a great community to work out.”

“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.”

“My wife and I love Reimagym! It is an incredibly positive space - body positive, queer positive, ability positive.
Reimagym is more than a gym, it is a community. Everyone on staff makes an effort to have a personal relationship with every member, and because the class sizes are so small, you get to know other members very well. There are also monthly events that they put on for the members. We have made a few friends through Reimagym!

Every trainer and staff at Reimagym is knowledgeable, kind, funny, and open.
We have been going to Reimagym for over a year now. Recently we needed to build a retaining wall by hand. We calculated that we moved 3,000lbs of gravel, 4,000lbs of dirt, and 170 concrete blocks - all in a single weekend. We definitely could not have done that without all the weight training of the past year!
We feel stronger, have more stamina, and most of all we look forward to working out every week. Reimagym has truly transformed our fitness and made us both a lot healthier. Thank you!”

“Romel is not only a wonderful personal trainer, but a wonderful person as well. I feel very comfortable and safe with him (no intimidating or overly-serious gym bro energy lol) and he makes it fun! I almost feel like I am studying with a martial arts master because Romel is very knowledgeable and experienced. Also, I get to play my own music over the speakers! He's a great guy who is great at what he does. :)”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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 have been working out at CTNE for almost a year. When I started I hadn’t exercised in years and was really out of shape. Anna, the new member coach, made my introduction to Comp Train so much fun and so manageable, even for an out of shape 46 year old teacher. Now, a year later, I’m in the best shape of my adult life and the gym is the best hour of my day. I can’t recommend CTNE enough for anyone who wants to become stronger, mentally and physically.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“I love the workouts at OTF! The classes are always challenging and fun. The studio is very clean, and everyone wipes down the equipment after each use, which I really appreciate.

Coach Danielle is amazing, she’s always attentive and helps us with the exercises when needed. Daniel and Tracy at the front desk are also super friendly and welcoming.”

“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!”
