We Make Healthy Easier With two locations located in Watertown and Brookline (Comm Ave/BU), GymIt gives you exactly what you want: over 100 pieces of high-quality cardio equipment, locker rooms with showers, 3 strength training areas and long hours for as little as $6.95 a week!.
Gymit Watertown has been my favorite gym that I've ever been part of! The equipment there is fantastic (with more squat racks than any other gym I've seen!). There is a great deal of floor space with turf, which is an awesome bonus. Most notably, the community here is fantastic - I've been a member here for probably 5 years and I've met so many amazing & supportive individuals here! It is a very safe and supportive environment to work out in. You can always ask anyone around to spot you. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and the trainers are top-notch. I'm a physical therapist & personal trainer myself, and I will certainly be referring patients to the personal trainers at Gymit when needed - shoutout to Josh, Kyle, and Amanda! It gets busy during peak hours, but I haven't found a gym that doesn't! I highly recommend Gymit Watertown!
Highly recommend! Kyle and front desk staff are exceptionally courteous and helpful. Gym has everything you could want - squat racks, sleds, every type of cardio, boxing bags, TRX, and multiple pieces of equipment so there’s no wait. Gym is surprisingly big, clean and parking is easy too! Great spot.
This is a good gym at best and it has good equipment. But, there are some flaws here. They only have ONE machine for each exercise. For example they only have one hip abductor and on hip adductor, etc. This hinders people when they have to do certain workouts because you to wait twice as long for a machine! On top of that they only have ONE SMITH MACHINE! Final thing, the shoe police. You cant wear anything else besides shoes. I get that if you’re lifting/doing leg day, I change into shoes when I have certain days. However, if I want to wear crocs during my back day and I’m not deadlifting or during my arm day, there should be zero issues. As soon as I walk in the door with crocs on, the shoe police comes out of nowhere asking if I have shoes. They’ll argue that it’s “safer” meanwhile, there are PLENTY of people who have gotten injured with appropriate lifting shoes/gear so that’s a poor excuse. I’m a grown adult, if I want to wear crocs during my workout I’ll take that risk. Good gym, but they can do better.
I try to cancel my membership today, actually it is my second time cancel it, I cancel it in 2020 because of pandemic. I would like to say when try to cancel my membership, they staff look like little unhappy and seen not willing you to cancel it. Both cancellations were told to send an email to them, but you can actually log in to your account online to cancel the membership. Usually the staff treat the guests very nice, but when you go to cancel your membership, the experience is not very pleasant.
Feb 2025 Update: GymIt has implemented changes and is raising awareness on illegal parking. Parking has improved in the last weeks. This is an excellent gym, but the parking lots are a nightmare! My vehicle has been hit 3 times at this gym. The last hit and run is serious, and I am forced to pay for the repair myself. At peak hours, people park illegally, and there isn't any enforcement. The cameras pointed to the parking lots are for show only. They do not capture much of any hit and runs. I am really disappointed of the conduct of the people at this place. Management has not made people aware of the incidents occurring on the parking lots and it is disappointing.
Great gym. Clean facilities. Super friendly staff. Minimal to no waits for machines. I workout between 7am and 9am. Plenty of personal trainers available if you want them. Locker rooms and showers are clean.
Great gym! Has everything you need. Friendly staff and clean environment. They have recently made a couple of upgrades and the price is great!
A member of this gym for 9 months now. The gym is quite huge, don’t have to wait a lot for machines even during peak hours. Although mornings hrs are preferable over evening. Never had issues reg locker theft. Good staff. I signed up for PT sessions as well. The trainer is really wonderful person.
