Fitness & Gyms in Somerville, MA

“Very fun place and empowering for those who attend. Provides a safe space for people and the instruction is great! They will teach you the right technique. I’ve only been there for two days, and I feel stronger and more confident already???”

“I did a drop-in for this place a while back, and as far as strength + conditioning needs go, this place checks all of the necessary boxes like many of places around there would.

I came in with a band t-shirt and after a little while, I realized the gym staff must have put music from the band I was wearing on the speakers. It's not a very popular genre or band and it was hospitality that wasn't necessary but definitely appreciated and makes the gym a lot more memorable to me. As far as gyms go, you can really go anywhere I'm sure but that small gesture definitely earns my recommendation.”

“TL;DR: I feel (and run) stronger, and I feel better about myself. Joining Commonwealth was the best decision I made when I moved here. Would absolutely recommend dropping in for a couple of classes to anyone who's on the fence.

As a runner, this is how I get my strength training in, and I love it. In the past, I haven't been very motivated to commit to strength training before because I get bored with the same routine 2-3 days/week. With CrossFit, every day has a different workout that focusses on something different, and it's been great! I've really pushed my limits, and both my running and lifting has gotten stronger. It feels good to feel strong.

As a newcomer to the Boston area and CrossFit, I was a little intimidated, but the coaches and owners have been fantastic! They guided me through new movements, helped me scale workouts to my ability level, and never made me feel like an outsider. There's a lot of camaraderie at Commonwealth, and it's the first place I made friends after moving to this area. I look forward to going to the gym and tackling whatever the workout is.

4 years ago, I broke my ankle, and I have plates and screws on both sides. My range of motion on that side has been limited ever since. But after 6 months at Commonwealth CrossFit, I've regained a lot of mobility I never thought I'd be able to get back. It's exciting!”

“I can’t say enough good things about P+E Wellness! Coach P and Coach Emily are incredible—they truly know how to design programming that delivers results.

Two years ago, I had to stop running due to an IT band injury caused by muscle imbalances. One side was weak, the other too strong, and the resulting IT band injury caused me to stop running altogether. After training here for just 3-4 months, I’ve noticed a huge difference—my supporting muscles are stronger and more balanced, and I feel better than ever. In fact, the improvement has been so great I signed up for a half marathon later this year!

Beyond the smart and effective programming, the community at P+E Wellness is amazing. There’s no need to feel self-conscious—everyone is supportive, welcoming, and encouraging. It’s a place where mobility and function aren’t an afterthought but a key part of training. I always feel safe, challenged, and motivated, and the progress I’ve made in both strength and overall fitness speaks for itself. The classes are also on the smaller side so you really get personal attention and training.

If you’re looking for a holistic approach to fitness that prioritizes both performance and injury prevention, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!”

“Member for almost a year, have been very pleased with the whole experience. The gym programs consistent, challenging workouts that are a great mix of strength and HIIT/cardio, keeps things fresh and interesting.The coaches are very welcoming, small class formats mean you get eyes on you and feedback for more technical movements, excellent for beginnersThe community is young, inclusive, and fun! Very open to newcomers”

“I’ve been going to see Jenny at The Training Room for almost three years. Jenny is a really thoughtful and dynamic trainer who is quick to improvise solutions that work for me and my fitness level. Super welcoming environment, exceptionally clean and always good energy. So grateful to have discovered it when I moved back to MA a few years ago!”

“I've been going to OTF since 2020(and 2021 regularly) with this as my home
studio. The coaches are motivating and make just the right effort to get to know you without getting too personal. The workout keeps me interested and the schedule has a LOT of options. The front desk staff is always welcoming and super helpful if you have a question or need an accomodation for something.
They also let us know about a lower membership rate many of us qualified for last year.
The space itself is on the larger (and cleaner) side of studios I've visited. They have 3 showers and there's free parking nearby.”

“I've been a member for a few years now, and I must say it's an amazing gym with an awesome atmosphere. New workout equipment is excellent. I absolutely recommend joining this gym!”

“Would be cool if there were videos of solutions to the climbs, but anyway BPJ has great staff, great amenities, wifi, seating, shoe rentals, nice yoga room and fitness equipment!”

“My kiddo goes to the YMCA, rite. The after-school program's wicked cool, and the staff's got a good vibe, like siblings or somethin'! ? The place is wicked old, gets dusty 'n' all, but fer real, the routine's eva da same, wish they'd mix it up, ya know?”

“I appreciate very much BSC Pain Specialist Tim Read who helped me get rid of sciatic nerve pain that I have had since 2022. Under Tim supervision I have plenty of exercises for stretching and building my body strength. Only for 1 month (8visits)my work with Tim I forgot annoying pain in my back and leg. Tim has unbelievable knowledge of all body structure,muscles and all pain symptoms and how it should managed to forget it forever. I recommend Tim Read help everyone who can be in such pain situation as I have been for 4 years . Excellent knowledge, expertise and service! Thank you a lot Tim for your help and work.”
