P+E Wellness in Somerville

My first day was very good and promising, so I booked a second class. They cancelled my second class last minute and with no explanation and no reschedule…I would have appreciated some commitment from their side as the customers have to cancel our class at least 12 hours before or they would charge us, they should do the same.

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!

Working with Coach P is great! They are very attentive and able to adapt the classes exercises to each students' capabilities. Classes are fun and all the fellow students I've met are awesome as well! I actually look forward to going to class. :)

Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for community in a space that focused on wellness rather than just fitness. I started training here during the pandemic and found a great community that made me feel empowered. It has been a pleasure working with the instructors, who are not only focused on helping you achieve those fitness goals but achieving them in a way that is sustainable. Focusing on moving well, rather than just moving. Their training methods have given me a better understanding of my own body and how it works. The empowerment I feel being able to do exercises that I couldn’t do before is truly special.

I've worked with P&E Wellness for years before they located to their new space, and they have been awesome to work with. The classes have definitely pushed me past my limits of what I could do without a trainer. As a rock climber, the workouts are so well crafted to target all the muscle groups that help you become stronger and more able, so when returning to climbing last year, I still felt like I had my strength in tact. The instructors have a deep knowledge of anatomy & physiology, demonstrated in their approach to workouts by what to stretch out, attack, and work on when. And they put a significant emphasis on recovery and restoration, allowing me to keep up my workouts consistently. Heavily recommend to all athletes looking to build on their strength or get to pullup number 1

As someone who doesn’t love exercising at a gym but loves to hike, climb, bike and spend time in nature, I’ve struggled my whole adult life to figure out how I can feel excited about exercising regularly so I can stay in shape for the activities I love. I’ve found it at P+E! With the help of Coach P, I already find myself building my weaker muscles to protect me from pain and injury and overall learning more about my body. The classes are challenging but don’t feel competitive and intense. I don’t feel like I have anything to “prove”. (I had done crossfit in the past and while I liked the workouts, I found the overall vibe too intense.) Folks at P+E are kind, welcoming, funny, and encouraging. If you aren’t ready to commit to a membership just check out a class (and bring a friend!)

I can't recommend this gym enough - seriously. This is the first gym/studio that I've felt a sense of community and personalized support. I have balance issues and felt that my class instructor was able to provide me guidance as well as safely support my ability to participate and challenge myself. To be candid, I find most group fitness classes intimidating and fast paced. I think the Move Well full body workout class is challenging but accessible and the Hips Don't Lie class to be is an informative and restorative chance to work with a foam roller. The co-owner and instructor Piseth has an upbeat and engaging energy that make classes enjoyable and it's easy to see that the team they've built out is a strong one. If anyone is intimidated by the membership commitment then I suggest taking a drop in class.

I’ve been training with P+E for a few years now, long before they moved into their shiny new space here. Their small group classes are a perfect fit for me. It creates a community of peers to train with, and you get enough coaching attention to make the best out of each training session. Their amazing drive and motivational skills kept me coming back over the years. It just never gets boring, their programming adjusts and is always customized to the group. I enjoy being outdoors, mostly climbing and snowboarding in winter, and since I started working out with P+E I feel stronger, have less issues in my joints, can stay out longer and, most importantly, get less hurt when I take a tumble.
