Fitness & Gyms in Northampton, MA

“BEST gym in the Valley period but definitely most LGBTQ. I never felt comfortable at other gyms, but decided to try queer barbell classes. I’ve been going since Feb 2025 and have never been stronger. The vibe is body positive, the emphasis being on muscle gain not fat loss. I’ve developed a really healthy relationship to my bod and corrected my back and knee pain. Quite literally changed my life. It’s my happy place. :)”

I love the staff in Northampton. They are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Thu Tran is an excellent trainer. He has showed me how to correct my form and posture while lifting free weights and has given me amazing advice building my leg muscles. Has taught me different ways to angle my feet on the leg press with less pressure on my knees if I angle my feet instead of keeping them straight. FABULOUS improvement. Always learning new things from Thu Tran. He is extremely helpful and a great teacher. Xavian is also a wonderful trainer. He has helped me learn many machines since I started planet fitness. Learning how to use them the correct way. I am eager to learn always the correct way to use every machine. He is wonderful and great with all customers. Nick and Tabitha are also fantastic with anything I need. Excellent with any questions I have. They are always up to teaching me new learning techniques to the equipment. Nick was the first employee I met at Planet Fitness. He took me around the whole gym. Showed me how to use the machines I was interested in and I have learned even so much more since I started with his help. Northampton by far has the best team, super work ethics and amazing customer service. They take pride in having a fantastic clean environment. ? ++++ Christie Wright”

“I was struggling to get to the gym on my bike… it is a ch a great gym it is a big reason I bought a car. Excellent and helpful staff. Friendly gym rats, too!”

“Good place to run, one of the few indoor tracks in the area, and some of the coaches are nice and helpfull. There is the occasional time where an official will tell you your on the wrong lap, but if you count yourself, or have your team count its fine.”
