Build Them Up Fitness is truly an all-in-one training destination! The facility is top-notch—super clean, organized, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The energy here is unmatched: great classes, knowledgeable trainers, and a supportive environment that makes you feel motivated every time you show up.

What I love most is the versatility—whether you’re here for general fitness, strength training, or HYROX and race preparation, they’ve got it covered. The equipment is high-quality, the space is accessible for all fitness levels, and the coaches really know how to push you while keeping it fun.

If you’re looking for a place where you can train hard, learn, and be part of a positive community, this is the gym. Everything you need under one roof!

Great gym and community. Started with PT to get comfortable with working out again and the transition to group classes has been great! Always feel set up to be challenged and succeed. This gym fosters a great sense of community that is super supportive.

Such an awesome space. I would 100% recommend to anyone in the area, and if I was still around I would be living in the sauna/cold plunge. Sweet gym and some great classes offered here. I really enjoyed the class with Christina Lam and have recommended the space to others that I thought might appreciate it.

I’ve been coming here for about 6 months now and I won’t lie, I was extremely intimidated at first. I didn’t know what to expect out of the gym, the workouts, coach Em. It took a while to get my foot in the door with the nerves. I am SO THANKFUL I walked through that door. The workouts are tough, but so rewarding. Everyone in the classes is so encouraging and whether it’s your first day or you’ve been going for years, you feel so welcomed and immediately feel like you’re somewhere you belong.

Now, when it comes to Em, the best way to describe her is just simply, badass. Em sees the potential in everyone and pushes you to those limits to be the best version of yourself. She is one of a kind as a coach and a human being and even though my legs are always sore and it hurts to use stairs after her workouts, I’m thankful that she’s there to help me get to the end of my workout, modify things I struggle with, and helps me hit PRs I never thought I could. Everyone needs to come to this gym, I can promise you won’t regret it.

You know that uncomfortable feeling when you start at a new gym or group training session? Well, you definitely don’t get that at BuildEmUp. Em provides an environment that empowers every person there. No matter your level of skill, experience, social comfort etc… you will feel welcome & comfortable here. Em and her team (Jordan, Kat & Gabi) provide all different aspects of wellness from CrossFit, to bodybuilding, to running & sports/tactical training, all while providing nutritional support as well. I’ve been attending group training sessions at BuildEmUP for a couple of years now and have experienced such growth in my physical & mental wellness. No better way to start my day with this continuous growing team.

I have been working with Em for almost two years. She’s not just a trainer, she’s a friend, a mentor and more like family. I have always struggled with gaining weight and Em has worked with me creating meal plans and pushing me on the one on one sessions as well as the group classes. BuildEmUp lives up to its name and motto strong not skinny. The entire team is amazing. Em, Jordan, Gabi & Kat are all there to motivate you and make you feel empowered.

I was never into working out at the gym until I started training with Em. She pushed me in ways I didn’t even know I could be pushed! Em is always so positive & encouraging! Once joining her group classes it just kept getting better! Em and her team have created such a safe and joyful place to sweat out your worries. Everyone is so encouraging and on their own fitness journey, Em and her team have created a standard where its so much more then just how your body looks like, it’s your mental, confidence, and so much more. It has truly saved me in more ways then I can count! If it’s not BuildEmUp I’m not going!

This gym is more than a gym, it's a community of individuals who support, encourage, and challenge one another. Em and the trainers are hands down the best people I have ever met. Whether you come for personal trainings, classes, or your own workouts you will be surrounded by women and men with positive attitudes, zero judgement, and high energy. I recommend this gym to anyone whether you have a goal in mind or not. I have never met a group of trainers who are just as motivated for their clients to hit their goals as I did when I met Em, Jordan, and Gabi. They put their own hearts and souls into creating an environment to individuals to strive and grow. If you're looking to surround yourself with amazing people while also getting stronger I only recommend BuildEmUp Fitness.

Em has been my trainer for 5 years now. Along the way, I had the opportunity to be with other coaches and without taking away their merits, none of them with her vibes. I have seen her progress, dedication, commitment and sacrifice to build BuildEmUp. Every day, Em pushes you to be better and she believes in you, more than you can believe in yourself. I am totally grateful for what she does day to day with me. However, all the coaches, Jordan, Gabi and Kat are excellent and they are always supporting and motivating you to be the best version of yourself.

PS: If you don't speak or understand English, don't worry! Em and Jordan will do their best to understand and help you. 🙂

If you “hate the gym” then I recommend you check out Em and her team for PT or group training! They make the gym fun and challenging and they will help you reach your fitness goals! They SET THE STANDARD!
I’ve been training with Em for 5-6 years. We were partners in another class and then I started PT with her when she was just starting out. Now, I attend her classes regularly! Em even got me through the lockdown with her creative and challenging at-home training program and she has only gotten better from there as she has grown her business and team. Em supports her clients on a personal level (in & out of the gym) and even in a class setting she gives excellent personal feedback. You will never feel like “just a customer” in her classes.
After a long day at work, I look forward to coming to Em’s 6pm class. But she starts classes at 5am and her team has availability throughout the day. No more excuses- give BuildEmUp a try!

Been training with Em and doing group x for about 3 yrs on and off. Em is the best. And she’s ALWAYS there when i fall off with solutions and consistency. She also trained me during my pregnancy. I’ve made several referrals and continue to do so when I’m asked about a spot to train! 5 stars, hands down. Good people good energy :chefs kiss:

There is nothing but great things for me to say about Em and her team. The energy from the moment you speak with the coaches to getting into PT or group classes is amazing and such a seamless process. Starting from any range of fitness to any size or shape you will feel welcomed no matter what and encouraged to be the best you can be. True definition of EMpowerment!

I started as a trainer with Em almost a year ago. Going in I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. Em invited me in with open arms and changed my life in the best possible way. She is there to help push you to reach your goals. The support from not only her but everyone else in the gym is incredible. Everyone is there to become a better version of themselves. There’s always someone cheering you on, pushing you to hit that PR or finish your last set. The dynamic at BuildEmUp is truly unmatched.

I’m a Firefighter/Paramedic and in just a few weeks I’ll be attending the Massachusetts Fire Academy. I have been attending group classes since I started. These classes have helped prepare me for anything and everything I may encounter not only in the academy, but in my career. I have never felt more physically ready for something. Em knows what it takes to be successful in the fields of Firefighter/Police/ any Military branch. She is someone you can trust will help prepare you to set yourself up for success for the rest of your career.

Em and her team made me feel welcome in the gym since day one. I do a mix of personal training with Jordan and classes with Em. I work an 8-5 schedule but they always have plenty of time slots to choose from. They actually care about your fitness goals and will do everything they can to help you achieve them. This environment makes me excited to get up and go to the gym. The support system is unmatched and the community is something you need to be a part of!!

I came to Em to train pretty much brand new to the fitness game. The intimidation I felt starting my first session with her wore off within seconds of walking into her studio. She is empowering, motivating and most importantly, really knows and understands the body and work outs. She believes in you when no one else can. Her main goal of showing women to be proud of how strong their bodies can be is what really hooks me. Its not about looks or competition with the group that works out at Build Em Up. Its about supporting each other to work harder, push past your goals, and show that you can be as strong as you strive for, male or female. She also welcomed my daughter and in a few short sessions helped her self esteem and confidence turn around for the better. There is NO one else like Em and her crew on the planet and if you want to be trained by the best, then look no further.

This is not just a gym or place to train, it’s a family. Em & the girls are coaching & cheering you on in every way for you to succeed. They want it as much as you do. They love what they do & it shows. Class times to accommodate every schedule, fair pricing for classes & PT. This place just makes you feel good about yourself and at home.

Em and her team (Jord, Gab, and Kat) are the absolute best trainers out there. The motivation, time, effort and love she puts into her training sessions are unmatched. I’ve been training with Em for the past 6 years and have never had a bad experience! You will not regret joining.

A few years ago I was not comfortable in my own skin and too intimidated to go to the gym… and then I met Emily and her team at BuildEmUp. Emily took my confidence level through the roof in just a few months of knowing her and working 1:1 with her. The environment she works in, her knowledge, words of encouragement and the effect she has on everyone around her (not just myself) to push and become a better person helped a ton .. more than she knows! Without BuildEmUp I wouldn’t be the #StrongNotSkinny, active, 160 pound x2 dog walking mom I am.

Em and her team are some of the strongest, most intelligent people I know. Not only are they amazing at what they do, they actually care about everyone and cater to the needs of each and every individual.
I’ve been uncomfortable in most gyms I’ve been in, with em I feel at home.
It’s rare to find trainers like her and I’ll always be grateful for the difference she has made in my life.

You know your at a great place when you feel beautiful, confident, motivated, loved and more at a gym! Words aren’t enough to explain the experience I have with my trainer! She’s amazing at what she does! She pushes you to do more when you feel like you can’t! She will push you to a limit that is always comfortable for you but also meet you where she knows you can be! Not only she has helped me achieve goals I never thought I could but she cares for me and all of her clients! Mentally, physically and emotionally she gives it all through her work! This is a place I have build my strength but also build relationships with others! It’s Family! I will always recommend anyone to join her team! If your looking for a trainer she is the one!

I’m currently a client of Em’s and I can’t say enough positive things about my experience this far. It’s not easy to wake up super early to be there for 5am but is always well worth it! The energy, environment, and skill level that is provided is unmatched. Thanks for all you do for the squad!

Em and her team do a great job of teaching, motivating and building a real fitness family. She’s always bringing new ideas to the class and never repeats the same workout twice. She’s created an environment where clients are given the tools they need to meet their fitness goals!

I’ve been to several different gyms and personal trainers over the years and they just do not compare to what BuildEmUp brings to the table. The trainers here get to know you as a person and strive to help you reach your goals both inside the gym and out. Not only do they help you reach your goals but you’ll actually enjoy the process of getting there. I recommend BuildEmUp to any and everyone looking to start or advance their fitness journey.

I am currently a trainer/coach for BuildEmUp and I can’t say enough good things about Em. She welcomed me to her business with open arms and taught me SO much. She is the best boss I have ever had and this community is like no other. Her classes are *mostly* females and it is amazing to see how far everyone has come in their journeys. This is a place where you aren’t judged and looked at the wrong way. Everyone who comes to classes enjoys it and has a good attitude. This isn’t like any normal gym - it is the best gym you’ll ever step into!

Best trainers hands down! Group classes & PT are worth it! Not only will you get fit but you get a sense of community and the confidence you’ve been looking for! They are flexible and have classes ranging from 5am - 6pm.
