Pros: Decent gym with lots of classes. Spin bikes look a bit old school, which is disappointing because I really like spinning but these are not the same bikes you find in studios.

Coms. it is VERY hot in the cardio room. There are no ceiling fans or any ventilation. Out of towels for weeks. No shades by the treadmills so sun is in your eyes.

I joined to this gym just two weeks ago and I totally love it. The owner is super polite and attentive to people. The gym offers variety of group classes which I appreciate a lot. Strength classes are designed to strengthen power and flexibility at the same time, which very smart approach to doing exercises. I recommend this gym and will continue to be a member. Also the price is very affordable in comparison to competitors in Brookline.

Benefitness offers great equipment, a clean and motivating environment, and exceptional staff. The trainers are knowledgeable and genuinely invested in helping you reach your goals. It’s the perfect place for beginners, experienced athletes, and everyone in between!

I do not recommend at all. I paid for the max program. Had two trainers one was competent the other was not. The first trainer vented the entire training session and literally couldn’t even count. They were supposed to do in home training and instead what I got was lack luster support. Ben is a high pressure salesman and the app they use don’t work. As a fitness girl I would not recommend to anyone starting your journey. There is no accountability and the trainers are not paid properly for their time. Buyer beware.

It’s small-ish but super cute and has anything you may need, given that it’s not too crowded. People are very nice and everything is very clean and in good condition. The personal trainers around are always willing to help. Big fan.

I love this gym so much! It’s clean, compact with great staff. I would like more spin classes mid morning and all classes I have attended have been great. I especially like Annemarie’s Pilates. The sauna is a great resource to have in such a small space.

When I decided to check out Benefitness I had never been inside a gym before, never mind worked out in one. And frankly, I was terrified. From the moment I stepped through the doors the Benefitness staff made me feel at ease. They were welcoming, exhaustive in their explanations of the facility, and eager to address even my most mundane anxieties.

The facilities are clean, the machines are comprehensive and up-to-date, and the class schedule is extensive. The instructors are talented, knowledgable, and friendly. But perhaps most importantly, Benefitness is a true community. As a staple in Brookline Village for almost 40 years, the gym has cultivated a strong, supportive group of women. For a newbie like myself that has been invaluable.

I like to say it took a village to get me exercising, and that village was the Benefitness community. Without the encouragement and guidance of both the instructors and the other members I would never have discovered the joys of exercise. I'm the strongest I've ever been and it's thanks to the women in this community.

I can't recommend Benefitness enough!

The variety of classes Benefitness offers is fantastic. I have been taking classes here for years and I am still challenged and never bored. Now there are streaming classes too so you can work out at home if you prefer. I highly recommend!

OK, this is a women's gym, but I'm helping my mom write a review. She's been going here as long as I can remember, so she has a lot of friends from the gym. Apparently there is a grandmother with a 6 pack who works here, but maybe that's just urban legend. It seems like the women who staff this place have been here forever, and Benefitness is their fountain of youth. She mostly takes classes and constantly talks about how great TRX is for her balance and core. If your mom wants to work out, she should check this place out. But be warned that you might get nagged about working out yourself.

Benefitness is a welcoming, comfortable and clean gym space. You are greeted by a friendly front desk staff, able to go to them with any questions and told of upcoming classes and events- just wonderful! Suggestions and concerns are taken seriously, and the environment is one of non-competition and mutual respect. A definite recommendation for someone looking for a quieter exercise space you can make your own.

!!! AVOID THIS PLACE !!!
UNPROFESSIONAL / RUDE / THREATENING US / FRAUD
This place is Horrible. They take advantage of COVID19 and charge people for NO Service.
We called them before the pandemic and asked them to CANCEL the subscription, in response they told us that they CANNOT cancel because they are NOT fully operational because of the PANDEMIC, instead they put they put the subscription on HOLD.
2 days ago they charged our credit card $120.00 for NO REASON and their STAFF are telling us that THEY WILL NOT REFUND the money.
SO THEY CHARGED US FOR THE PERIOD THAT THEY WERE CLOSED (APRIL-MAY-JUNE-JULY).
We called and informed them that we'll ask our Credit Card company to return the money. Guess what happened after all these? - They sent us an email THREATENING us.... WHAT an UNPROFESSIONAL WAY OF DOING BUSINESS.

This place is a scam. They don't refund money, have charged clients for months the gym has been closed and have an overall nasty attitude when confronted :(

I love this Gym. After being a member in 2 other Gyms in the area, it is nice to find affordable place with awesome instructors (better than those in the expensive gyms). I like it that its small and cozy.

It's an OK gym for the price, but they constantly close for the weather. I think it would be appropriate for them to prorate the days they close but they don't. I do not recommend this gym.

Signed up when I moved to Boston for graduate school. Good size facility that is never too crowded. Staff are all very friendly and welcoming. Although they offer classes that seem popular, I stick to just using the machines. There are many of them and the club offers a good range in regards to variety. Even though I am moving to a new apartment, I will continue my membership.

Benefitness has all the machines I want. The Pilates and TRX small group classes are excellent. I've done a lot of Pilates Reformer classes and these rank with the best. The vibe is very friendly as well. A little friendlier and more relaxed than other clubs I have gone to. Just seems more like home. A real sense of belonging there.

I love Benefitness! I joined about three months ago and have been so happy with my decision. There have a wide variety of classes. They recently hired a new yoga teacher named Jessica and she is fabulous (as are other teachers). There are also lots of great, high energy cardio classes. Classes are not the only way to go though; there are plenty of machines and there has always been enough room to work out using free weights or doing abs. The membership is reasonable and great for grad students because you can pause your membership for up to three months. Join Benefitness!

Fantastic gym that has plenty of machines and space to work. There is no air of intimidation and most of the clientele is very friendly. All of the staff is fantastic and willing to give you an emotional boost to motivate as well as show the proper use of the machines. Tons of different classes offered.

I have been a member of Benefitness for many years..The women that work for the club are all ( the ones I have met) dedicated to their jobs..When I was younger, I worked very hard...boot camp. many classes, lifting weights etc..As I age, I am able to do many things, but not as much as before..They have helped me and given me many options for having and keeping a healthy body for a long period of time. I am proud to say that I belong to this club. It is safe, clean and the "gym rats" that I socialize are wonderful..A great experience for any age.

I love Benefitness! When I first moved to the Boston area, I did A LOT of research and read a lot of reviews regarding what gym I should join. I considered many gyms in the area and ultimately decided to have a tour of Benefitness. I liked the fact that they offered classes, equipment and the all-women facility. After touring the gym, I immediately signed up and I have not been disappointed.

Now I have been a member of Benefitness for about seven months and I love it. They have tons of classes. I recommend jump & jab, the yoga classes, and zumba! The instructors are very friendly and helpful. I also signed up for three personal training sessions with Lucia who is amazing. She created a workout for me that I have been doing now for approximately 3 months or so.

The facility is always clean and I've never had a problem getting a piece of equipment that I wanted to use, even on the most crowded of times. The locker rooms have showers with shampoo and body wash, a sauna room, bathrooms and changing rooms. Compared to other gyms in the area, I really don't find Benefitness to be too expensive, considering HealthWorks down the street is almost double and is always way too crowded.

I've never had an issue with parking because I take the green-line over and walk over. It's about a 10-minute walk from the C-line Coolidge Corner stop and a 3-minute walk from the D-line Brookline Village stop. It's a very convenient location.

Also, Benefitness is incredibly understanding when it comes to freezing your account for 1-3 months. I'm a law school student, so I froze my account over Christmas break because why would I pay for a gym that I won't be using at all? Benefitness froze my account and only charged me $9 fee. That saved me a ton of money. I know a friend of mine who had to pay only $10 less than what is regularly paying per month to freeze his gym membership.

I really recommend Benefitness if you're looking for an all women's gym with classes and a friendly staff.
