Muscular Connections in West Boylston

Muscular Connections is a true community treasure! I have been on a journey for better health and fitness for the last 20 months or so, but had never really been an “exerciser”. Honestly, exercise was something I never enjoyed, but knew I needed to do. If you are someone who maybe stepped into a gym or studio a few times over the years, you can relate to how intimidating some places can be. Not Muscular Connections! Firstly, they emphasize that they want to get you moving in a healthful, not painful way. The instructors always demonstrate different levels of moves so that anyone on the fitness continuum can access the class. The members are so welcoming of new class members, and help each other out with tips and where to find equipment, etc. It really is a community of people lifting each other up for better health and healthy aging. We have members that span all age brackets, and all genders. Since joining in December, I committed to attending 3-5 classes per week, and have found tremendous gains in my balance and stamina. I’ve also shed about 25 lbs by adding their classes to my nutrition plan. Most shocking of all, is that I look forward to coming in for every class I sign up for. For the first time in my life, exercise is fun and is something I am truly grateful my body will allow me to do. Their yoga classes have been so helpful to me in recovering from a shoulder injury, as have all the other classes I’ve taken. Cardio, Pilates, 20/20/20, barre, tabata, stretch…you can find it all here! This isn’t a chain, but a place where the owner is heavily vested in making sure that everyone feels welcome and ready to empower their health. You have nothing to lose by trying out a class (first class is always free, and the owner frequently runs free class specials), and everything to gain (muscles, flexibility, stamina, balance) by becoming a member.

I just joined before Christmas. Love the variety of classes. They’re all different but great! The instructors make sure you are comfortable with the moves and show how to do them.

I injured my neck sleeping lol. I came here for a Clinical massage with Sharon. I’m not a massage person at all BUT this experience was amazing and Sharon really knew what she was doing and she was very accommodating with my sensitivity to massage. She told me the whole way what she was doing and why she was doing it which was helpful and covered any possible questions I would have been asking anyways. She was so kind, reassuring, and compassionate about my injury. Needless to say, I left feeling like I had WAY more mobility in my neck than before my injury! I’m truly Impressed. I’m definitely coming back for some followup sessions and will continue to return for any other similar issues I might have. :)

I joined Muscular Connections community West Boylston because it was time for self care. After 3 weeks/types of classes and 3 different instructors- I can say I love it. The environment is welcoming and engaging. The classes are for all levels- even me returning from rotator cuff surgery and being nervous. I’ve met new friends and reconnected with old. THANK YOU Sharon Emond and Muscular Connections 🫶🏼🪷💪🏼🪷🫶🏼 ~ Becky

I started going to Muscular Connections about a month ago, and I absolutely love it. The variety of classes are wonderful- I’ve been loving Barre and Pilates! The yoga classes and meditation class are also fantastic. It’s an amazing addition to our area and I highly recommend it.

Sharon held her first Couples Massage Class that my husband and I attended as a Date Night and it was AMAZING!!! She walked around to each couple, explaining how to do certain types of massage, she offered feedback and positive mentoring throughout the entire process and we both had such a great time!! I highly recommend this for couples❤️. It gave us so much information to take home and use in practical daily situations for our own lives. Thank you Sharon!!!

I have been working with Sharon for about 10 years. With her help I have been flexible and pain free enabling me to play tennis. In the past year, she has been helpful in my rehab from debilitating back issues. She is very knowledgeable and customizes each session to your specific needs. I see her weekly and if I could I would give her more than 5 stars

Sharon is amazing! I look forward to my once a month reset. She’s the best massage therapist I’ve ever been to and I’ve been getting massages for many years. She’s always accommodating, knowledgeable and pleasant. My last appointment I needed some hip flexor work done and I left feeling much better. If you like a deep tissue massage book with Sharon!!!
