This is a reliable local gym with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are consistently polite, and the hours are convenient for most schedules. It's a solid place to get a good workout in.

While a few pieces of equipment could benefit from some updates, the gym is generally well-maintained and functional. I'd particularly love to see a couple more stair masters added, as they're quite popular. Overall, it's a pleasant gym to attend, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a decent local workout spot.

Update:
AC seems to be working and rating has been adjusted. Struggles a little in summer but definitely better than it was.

The gym has a good amount of machine options and quantity of cardio equipment including a woman only room. Also has a sauna, but I have not used it.

Their β€œsuggestions” email doesn’t work and they didn’t reply in their instagram messages. (Their is a sign in the gym asking for suggestions to be sent to them)

Old:
Decent gym, but during the summer it gets up to 85 degrees which makes it very difficult to workout in. Would not recommend joining unless the temp issue is fixed.

Will adjust rating once the AC is taken care of.

I have to agree with J. I been coming for years. And the last two months I have told them the t the ac doesn’t work they say β€œit’s on a timer”. Not true because these last few weeks it’s been dreadful in there and now it’s Friday and still no ac technician has fixed the problem. Cardio area at least 90 degrees

I just joined this gym.... I've always been a little put off/ intimidated by gyms. Your gym however, the atmosphere is Open and welcoming. I love the fact that there is No Time Limit on treadmills! When I run, I run for an hour so any other gym just never fit. I have been running outside but, as of late the weather has not been cooperating so I picked this gym because it was close by but also the feel of it was just right . The treadmills track progress too, another thing to love.

This is the best gym I have ever been too and joining has changed my life. It has the largest open floor with dozens of stations and machines, a smaller workout area, an upper level for cardio, and offers a variety of classes and training. The staff, especially the general manager, are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend signing up for a membership!

Place is falling apart , old equipment and awful business practices, been a member for 7 years and even after was told was not going to be charged during COVID closings I was still charged 1 year of fees not using it and was told was not getting money back , decided to let it go since gym is so close to my house , decided now to cancel since I'm moving and was hit with 1 extra month of charges (30 day notice) I get that no problem, but then they tell me next month you would have to renew your yearly membership and hit me again for another 78,98 are you fn kidding me !
Anyways be ware if this falling apart gym , it's cheap but may not be worth it , equipment is old and bathroom has black mold all over !!!!!
The front desk staff are very pleasant and polite , hope they find a better place to work !
Never again !

CONSUMER BEWARE: I froze my account in Feb 2019. Went into club in June 2019 to cancel. Instead of canceling, they evidently unfroze my account. I never went back because I assumed they had properly canceled. Since that time I have been charge $29.99/mo. I called yesterday and they said, "Sorry, can't be our gym that is charging you, because you are gone from the system." Went in today, "Oh, you're right here, your account is active, no idea who you spoke to last night, sorry'" and then, "Since your account was never canceled, we can't help you. You can cancel now and we can charge you a fee." and "No, can't waive the fee. Nothing we can do for you without cancellation paperwork." But they neglected to cancel me, why would I have paperwork? They get to keep my $1,300.

I do personal training with Austin as well as a fitclub class. He is a fantastic trainer with excellent customer service skills. I would recommend him for anyone from beginners to more advanced lifting. His calm demeanor and passion for exercise would make him a great fit for any skill level. Dylan is also a great trainer who keeps things fun and pushes you threw harder workouts. 100/10 stars

My exercise evaluation and blueprint was written in magic marker on a piece of paper. It was primarily a list of machines.

Been a frequent member for 10+ years and live in Abington. Unfortunately most of the equipment has been the same since the day the building opened. It seems like every time I come here for the past couple years, I mention another machine that’s broken - sometimes it’s the same machine that I mentioned months ago. Even the spray bottles to clean the equipment are broken and never get replaced. Bittersweet leaving this place because I’ve been here for so long plus the commute cannot be compared. I will drive the extra 20+ minutes at this point to avoid the frustration with the equipment.

Cancelled membership early in March, which that process was painful. They make you come in, will not cancel over the phone or online. Was told there would be one more monthly charge for March. Understandable. Now I have Club Systems calling me looking for payment???? Excuse me? Membership was CANCELLED and the FINAL authorized payment was in March. Stay away from this place, they will not let you leave. Much happier with my new gym who are upfront and honest about their charges and policies.

During covid, still have to send a written latter to cancel. Gyms do this on purpose. They know it! I can e sign for a mortgage and buy a house, but the gym doesn't have the tech to do it. Scam. I hope they get their stuff together.

I am a new member as my last gym, Brickwall, was bought out by them. Compared to Brickwall, Northeast is very nice, which honestly doesn't say much. I do enjoy the gym, but my two gripes with it, which are me problems are: the floor space is very open. And for more people are there I have only been twice so far so it might grow on me. But if you like some amount of privacy (you're not getting full privacy in a gym), this isn't the place for you. However they have all the equipment you could need, the plates are kept well organized. The machines are in pretty decent condition. The one thing so far I would chance is the method of sanitation. Paper towels are NOT good enough. They don't hold the cleaning solution well, and break down very fast. Facecloths or disposable rags would be much appreciated, even ripped up old shirts. Anything but the cheap paper towels they stock.

I started training at northeast fitness since it opened in Quincy as Quincy athletic club many years ago, I bought a house in Holbrook so I've switched to the Abington gym. Many gyms around are not friendly to bodybuilders but northeast has always been more than welcoming, I read a review about people slamming the dumbells and free weights in Abington and it couldn't be more accurate. I take my training very serious and one thing I never do is drop or slam the free weight and especially not the dumbells because it breaks them. I cant control what others do but there are way to many young adults who think working out or bodybuilding is about putting on absurd amounts of weight that they cant lift , hence the weights getting slammed and broken. Right now the gym is missing 120 dumbells, 100lb dumbbell and a 110lb dumbell which I've been told are all broken. I use this type of weight on a regular basis and would like to see them replaced. I believe if people were given warnings not to drop them this might rectify some of the problem, I feel some of the staff needs to be more attentive as to what's going on. I dont see the same things going on in Quincy which Brian runs and is an excellent manager. I hope you can fix this problem so that I dont have to train somewhere else .

Best gym in the area by far! One of my favorite gyms ever and I have been to 20+. Extremely helpful staff, perfect location, and great equipment with plenty of room. Cleanliness is exceptional as well. I was visiting just for a few days, and Matt and the owner greatly assisted my husband and I as two active duty military members. You will love this gym!

Wow, Liam. To the point and accurate. It's difficult to have people skills if all you do is hide behind a computer, hiding away in your cubicle or walk around with your eyes down. And it must be ever so hard to greet people from behind the desk tapping at the computer.
And how about hiring older trainers that a good part of the gym members can relate to? Not all members are 20 something. How can your trainers identify w 40, 50, 60, etc year olds? One friend of mine had one of your trainers for a three sessions and developed a torn rotator cuff because she was being trained as a young adult instead of the almost 60 yo that she was at the time. Poor trainer judgement to say the least.

While seemingly competent, Sarah - Abington gym manager - is devoid of interpersonal skills. That is, unless you are buying her services as a trainer or one of her gfs. But don't expect an individualized program to your needs and/or skills - she believes one fits all. And if someone is acting inappropriately, she can't be bothered - weights slammed to the floor repeatedly doesn't bother her - so what if equipment is broken. It's not her money.

I haven’t gone in 2 years + since moving from Abington, I’ve tried cancelling several times but they’re still withdrawing money from my account. I’ve spoken with the owner and the managers numerous times and even have email threads to prove that. This is becoming more of a nuisance than any other gym I’ve ever dealt with before. A lot of the times I call I’m just given the run around as the owner never seems to be in these days. I cannot understand for the life of me why cancelling a membership for an over priced gym is a 2 year process??? Highly recommend W-Fitness instead. 10$ a month and can easily cancel via email.

My fiancΓ© and I have made multiple complaints about the cleanliness and upkeep of the facility. The women's restroom looks as if it has never been cleaned, there is always hair and water all over the sinks, the trash is always overflowing, and the toilets are alway filthy. The front desk is no help whatsoever. We came from a Gold's Gym in Texas to this filth. We are going to cancel our membership, it's not worth the money for the lack of cleanliness, lack of customer service, and lack of equipment upkeep that they provide.

This is a gym that caters to people that are serious about their workouts.
The gyms equipment is very modern and up to date.
They maintain barballs that include even (37.5, 30.2 lbs ect )which a lot of gyms don't have.
Staff is freindly and helpful.

That gym is terrible! Barely have varieties of cardio equipment. The classes are weak and mostly older people teach it. They have a dam fee for everything. I cancelled my membership in February and they billed me for march and April including a maintenance fee for 39.99 I was so upset because I wasn't made aware of that at the time of the cancellation and you think the manager even tried to help out with that? NOPE!!!! I've never written a review for anything but in this case I will! Y'all are terrible!!!!

I signed up when they first open and was assured that if anything came up they would let me out of my contract. I wouldn't have thought it would be a problem when I tried to cancel, after having a stroke and landing in a rehab hospital, since I had more then lived out the length of time I committed to. However, when I called to cancel they could not accommodate me. I ended up disallowing direct withdrawals from my checking account. And now they are sending a collection agency after me. These people can rot in hell.

I love my gym!

It is a shame that these other reviewers had such a terrible experience. I currently go to this gym and I have never had a problem! All of the staff members are extremely nice and easy going. If you have any questions, they are very attentive and helpful. Even the group class instructors are great! I have taken numerous different classes at different times of the day and week. In my experience, all of the group instructors are friendly and can modify EACH class to your specific needs.

It is rare to find a broken machine in this gym; but when I do, it is generally fixed within 1-3 days. I have never had to wait for a machine and the gym has never been over crowded. My favorite part about this gym is the cleanliness! I came from Work Out World (WOW), which was gross! This gym is extremely clean and well taken care of. I shower at this gym every time I work out and I have never had an issue. The price is exactly the same as WOW, but it is MUCH cleaner, friendlier, and less crowded---not to mention the fact that you are not approached by numerous meat heads offering their unwanted training services to you. The other members seem much more respectful than other gyms.

Finally, the cancellation policy is EXPLAINED to you upon signing up! Therefore, whoever had issues cancelling in the past clearly did not pay attention. In my experience, ALL gyms have similar cancellation policies as this one does.

This gym is completely worth what you pay for it!

I agree with all the other reviews. This place is all about the money. The rates are low but only because if you try to leave they charge you. I had to suddenly relocate and the last thing on my mind was my gym membership. Once relocated in SC I called and was berated by a staff member who stated I needed to come in in person. I told him that was impossible and he continued to give me attitude. To end my gym membership I had to send a certified letter from SC! It was easier to move than it was to cancel this.

My daughter is a member as well and has the same problem. She is in SC for 2 months and the club will not let her put her membership on hold, like many other places would. And she cannot cancel unless in person. So basically they are collecting her dues while she is obviously not coming in to the gym. She cannot even cancel it unless she flies home and does it in person.

This place is ridiculous and the owner should take note of how unreasonable his/her policies are and how rude the staff is when discussing these matters.
