The premier strength & conditioning facility in Harvard for high school, college, and middle school athletes looking to take their game to the next level.
I have been there for 2 and a half years and I can guarantee that you will never regret joining The Foundry. Great place to be if you need to relieve any stress. The equipment is top notch. The coach here is amazing, always nice, always willing to help out anyone who is struggling with anything, always willing to talk, etc. Just overall an amazing place to go to. I highly recommend it!
My son began training with Hunter Granville at the foundry in January 2017, aiming to strengthen his skills for varsity soccer at Bromfield. Under Hunter’s guidance, he became a starter on three state championship teams. Hunter’s expertise has extended to our whole family; both my daughters and I have trained with him for years. Hunter’s technical knowledge and focus on strength training and on injury prevention make him a true professional, and I’m proud to support his business for the impact he’s had on my children and myself.
Owner Hunter Granville brings an intense yet welcoming attentiveness to the training. I have not only grown physically, but I have also felt an extreme amount of bettering in my work ethic, energy, and all around motivation ever since joining The Foundry. Whether it’s mentally or physically, I have also seen a direct improvement to my athletic skillset. I have made new bonds, lifted heavier weights than I ever knew possible, and grown as an overall person just from becoming an active member. It’s not just a gym, it’s a family.
The Foundry is an amazing place with excellent programs and is completely worth it. Hunter knows how to tailor workouts to one’s specific needs and really help people gain not only strength, but knowledge as well. He breaks down every exercise and lift into the precise details, so you can really learn what you’re doing and how it works. It does not get any better than Hunter and The Foundry.
I have been going to Hunter and The Foundry since it first started about six years ago. This was, without a doubt, the best decision I have ever made for my athletic career and is a huge reason why I am able to play collegiate baseball. Hunter works diligently with every single athlete, from middle school through college, to improve on your strength, speed, mobility, endurance, and mental strength through detailed coaching and creating an absolutely electric environment to be in. For anyone looking to push their athletic career, or even improve upon your everyday life, this is the place to come. Hunter will push you to be better, teach you in. a hands on approach to learn new lifts, and make sure that you are consistently improving every single session. I can not recommend this gym enough to anyone and I will continue to come here as long as I can. There is not too much more you can ask for then a passionate and energetic coach who fosters an environment of excellence and who helps create some absolute animals in the gym. To anyone seeking to play at the next level, no matter the sport, this is the place to be.
Hunter has been and always will be the best training coach that I will have in my lifetime. My fist time training with hunter was during the summer training and conditioning camp that he does to get ready for next seasons sports. If it wasn't for Hunter I probably would not have stuck to the summer program. He brings a high level of energy to the table along with extreme friendliness so I got comfortable with chit-chatting with him very quickly. Even if I don't have the motivation to workout that day I think about all of the movies that we are going to talk about and how Heath Ledger is the best joker.
I've been going to the Foundry from the very start of the business, and I've been seeing Hunter even before it officially opened. Hunter has tremendously improved my physical health since I entered as an injury prone high school athlete. Immediately, within a few months, I felt stronger and more durable. He really helped contribute to my athletic abilities in high school, and I cannot say that I would've accomplished what I did without him. He truly cares about your success and what you want to do above all else. He can tailor workout plans for just about any type of athlete or persons needs/goals. Not only that, but he will explain why he decides to incorporate certain movements or exercises into your workout plan. I feel like this makes his business very unique. To conclude, I cannot say enough great things about Hunter and The Foundry in one post. I'd recommend him to anyone. Great business, great facility, and most importantly, great guy.
I’ve tried many trainers and different facilities, but none other like The Foundry and the guidance that Hunter has given. He’s given me and pushed me to find the motivation and strategies to make myself stronger and more athletic in all areas. Unlike other facilities he has everything you actually need to be athletic and maintain your strength. In addition no facility I’ve been to has provided the hands on training that he has, which has proved very helpful with correcting my form. For anyone who is in a profession to remain physically fit or stay in athletic shape for any sports I would highly recommend The Foundry and Hunter Granville’s training.
