Studio 617 is a great gym that offers a large well-equipped, bright, and clean space. There is a lot of natural light, that makes it a very pleasant place to train.
I recently started working with Chris, who is knowledgeable and caring. He takes the time to listen to my goals and customizes each session based on my progress and preferences, ensuring that every workout feels both motivating and challenging.
Although I only train with Chris, all other trainers are very nice and the whole team really created an ideal space for anyone to look forward to training again!

Studio 617 is an awesome place to train both as a trainer and a client. The space is large with brand new equipment and anything you could need for a training session. John and Chris do a great job taking care of the trainers and clients alike and if you need something they will get it for you. Best spot to train in Boston!

Let me say, Studio 617 is a stunning training facility in Back Bay! As a performance coach who works primarily with active adults and athletes, you need a training space that is built for clients to train for the demands of their activity. The space provides all you need to train your best so you can perform your best!

I’ve been training at Studio 617 for a few months now, and it’s been a very positive experience. After filling out a scheduling form, I was contacted the same day by Chris, the owner. He took the time to understand my fitness goals and thoughtfully paired me with my trainer, Chris R.

Chris is one of the best trainers I’ve ever worked with. I deal with chronic back pain, and his approach goes beyond just strength and conditioning—it emphasizes dynamic movement and mobility, which has significantly improved my back pain.

The gym is well-equipped with high-quality gear, and the space is perfect for focused, one-on-one training. I can’t recommend Studio 617 enough!

I can't recommend Studio 617 and my trainer John (one of the two owners) highly enough. John is incredibly conscientious, kind, and knowledgeable, always ensuring that I maintain proper form and stay safe during workouts (I am a senior). His attention to detail and genuine care make every personalized session both productive and enjoyable.

The studio is bright, clean and airy. Equipment is well maintained. The atmosphere is supportive and fun. It's a private training facility so it's never crowded. I am so pleased I found Studio 617 and John and co-owner Chris.

I have been working out with John since before he and Chris opened Studio 617. He adjusts to the training goals I have had though the years - injury prevention, muscle building, strength for running, you name it. He is able to customize on-the-spot and integrate physical therapist-style strengthening into my routines.

John is not just someone who knows how to lift - I have that in my dad (former Mr. USA and a two-time Mr. NJ in bodybuilding) and my former training as an NCAA DI track runner. He understands what I need out of lifting and how it can help me offset biomechanical issues and other challenges.

I would still be scrawny and focused solely on running if it weren't for John's training in-person training and programs he sends me to do on my own through an app.

Studio 617 is the best place to workout in Boston! The trainers are world class. The facility is always clean, the equipment well maintained, and the sound system make the place sound great too. They time your sessions well so you never have to wait for equipment (typically there will only be one other person working out at the same time with their trainer.. occasionally 2 people, max). Everyone is incredibly friendly and encouraging of each other. If you’re looking to achieve your health and fitness goals, you will not regret working out at Studio 617!

I have been training with Chris for six years. He is great at listening to my goals and creating programs to achieve them. He regularly checks how things are working and does not hesitate to modify if I want to focus on a new area. In summary, he is knowledgeable, flexible fun to train with and great at motivation.

I recently started training clients out of Studio 617 after moving my personal training business to Boston. When I initially reached out to the studio about renting space, Chris got back to me quickly and set up a time to meet with me and check the space out. At first the idea of training clients in a new space and in a new city felt daunting, but thanks to the support from Chris and John, Studio 617 now feels more like my home base. The studio is always clean, organized, and it has all the equipment a trainer could possibly need. If you're a trainer looking for a supportive environment and facility that is cared for very well, Studio 617 is the place to go.

I was fortunate enough to train my clients at this location for a few months.

I have nothing but positive things to say about the way Chris and John handle their business. They are very quick to respond to any inquiries or requests. All of the equipment they purchase is state-of-the-art, and if anything needs fixing, it is done very quickly.

Most importantly, they both approach their business with an attitude of service. They treat their own clients and the trainers who work out of the space with the utmost respect, and they address each client's individual needs, rather than just putting together cookie cutter programs to make a quick buck.

Whether you're a trainer looking for studio space or someone looking to start training, I would seriously recommend scheduling an intro call.

I have been going to John and Chris since their days at BSC. Their attention to detail and personalization to your individual need and workout goals is why I followed them to Studio 617 and continue to come back week after week. They take the time to explain the physiology behind the exercises, write up workouts and stretches to do at home, help setup lifestyle goals with tracking, and assist with specific workouts for injury recovery and mobility to prevent future injury. The entire family now uses Studio 617 including my wife, 12 y.o. son and even my 8 y.o. daughter on occasion. Best personal training experience available in Boston!

The location is also perfect if you’re in walking distance to Copley but it less than a block from the Copley T Station. The eucalyptus towels are also a big plus and refreshing way to end a workout.

In my quest to find a gym space in Back Bay for training clients, I approached the search with an open mind, determined not to let past experiences bias my expectations. Studio 617 came recommended by a colleague, and after confirming its excellent reputation through industry peers, I reached out to Chris, which marked the beginning of my affiliation with the studio. Chris's immediate and professional responsiveness set a positive tone for the entire experience. Studio 617 consistently embodies accommodation, kindness, expertise, and thoughtfulness. Transitioning my training sessions to this space was met with uncertainty about how my clients would react, but their enthusiasm matched my own. The studio's top-notch equipment and the heart invested by Chris and John create an environment of wellness and camaraderie, fostering a positive and nurturing atmosphere that resonates with all who enter. The studio's inclusivity, accommodating clients of various backgrounds and fitness levels without judgment, solidifies its status as a sanctuary for growth. Additionally, the seamless online booking system reflects their commitment to convenience. My association with Studio 617 has reignited my passion for guiding clients within a gym environment, and I'm sincerely grateful to be a part of it.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
" I have been working with John for almost five years. When I began personal training, I viewed it as a short term commitment to get into ’shape’ for an important wedding. I quickly realized that this needed to be a lifelong journey for my personal health and well being. John is the ultimate professional. He performs a careful assessment of his client’s needs and tailors each workout meet their specific goals and to and optimize form and function. John not only challenges me to reach my benchmarks, but he is constantly challenging himself by obtaining new certifications and staying up to date on the most current practices. My time with him is invaluable and I would recommend him for all age groups

John is an amazing trainer! He keeps our workouts fresh and interesting and always pushes me to go further, even when I’m about to give up. All of his knowledge in nutrition and fitness makes him the best!
John is my trainer but during his vacation I had the chance to work with Chris who is equally great – and can provide guidance through a wide range of topics, always with clever remarks!

I genuinely enjoy working out (and chatting) with them! Those guys are true professionals and create a friendly environment. Communication with them is easy – whenever I need to change my schedule, they’ll make the best to accommodate it.

Worth mentioning how the studio is always extremely clean and well kept.

As someone that's been a bit hesitant of going into a gym with the current covid rate in my area, working with a trainer that I trust in a small well-appointed space with people that I know follow solid covid policies.

I have been working with one of the Studio 617 founders for the last few years and Chris Paduano has helped me immensely. He's available for both in studio or virtual sessions (which really help when I'm on call or traveling for work). My back problems have largely gone away and with our regular workouts, my covid weight has been largely steady.

John and Chris have created an outstanding studio to train their clients. Bright, all new first-rate equipment, prime location. I have worked with John for over 3 years. He has excellent credentials, knows his profession, tailors his workouts to fit each trainee in a one-on-one session. No more than two trainers at a time. A+
