Womenβs locker room was under renovation for a while, and the room they gave us was never cleaned properly. Sauna/steaming room was never available during all these 7 months ive been here. But the price stayed same π€‘ When I had some other issues w equipments, they did NOTHING and the manager was very rude. He did not even care about my concerns.

My favorite of any gym Iβve been to. The locker rooms are clean and have built in lock systems. I also loved getting free towels to use at the front for saunas and shower. The sauna and steam room is also easily the best Iβve been to, the sauna even has colored LED lights.
Overall a very clean gym and great place to workout and also recover and relax after your exercise

I love my coach taiwo. I have been working with him for 4 months and continuing. He has transformed everything about how I train.
It is quiet and not too busy in the afternoon. Very nice place for training.

ATTENTION LADIES: Before you consider spending money here, please note that the steam room in the women's locker room is currently under renovation and is expected to be completed by the end of March.
Unfortunately, during this period, access to the men's steam room is not permitted, yet the pricing remains the same for both genders despite the temporary unavailability of the women's steam room.
As a result, I've decided to check out Waverley Oaks Athletic Club instead, which offers both a steam room and sauna!

Broken Facility, rude manager.
I was super excited to check out this place since itβs close to my home. But I found out the steam room in the womenβs locker room was broken and they told me itβs always broken and not going to be fixed in a while. I just said I donβt think itβs fair that I pay the same price as men since a major facility is missing for me. Then, the manager said in front of my face βit is what it is and we are not going to change anything,β as if they were the ONLY gym in Boston and I donβt have other choices.
The staff who hosted me was very friendly, to be fair, but I donβt see the point of going this place when I can get full services at a lower price at other places.

I highly recommend if someone looking for personal trainer and work out. I am thankful of Mikael once for a lifetime because of him i was able to improve my health reports. Again Tons And Bunchβs Of Thanks To Mikael Brown. One Of The Nice Workout In The Area Around..

They were not able to provide a guest pass or a trial period so I can try the gym.
I've never heard of a gym that doesn't have a guest pass or a trail period.
Seems like a bad policy for attracting customers.
Certainly did not attract me.

I've spent my time at a lot of gyms, either attending or working, and I love the time I've spent at CSC! Staffers and members are friendly. The pool is a big plus, and the yoga classes were really well taught. I recommend this Allston gem to anyone wanting a well rounded gym experience.

Great facilities (and a nice pool) for a good price.
Most importantly they refunded me very generously for several months of subscription when I mistakenly forgot to opt out of the post-COVID reactivation. After my horrific experiences with Boston Sports Club this was a very pleasant surprise!
If I ever live in the neighborhood again I will gladly reopen my account with them. They take care of their customers, which is a rare quality in this industry imo

I love the place, group fitness classes and the facility itself are all very nice. However the staff there was SUPER unfriendly and rude. I loved going there for few weeks, but totally changed my opinion about this place after calling them for something and the attitude was totally unexpected. I called to change my membership from $79 regular membership to $900 personal training membership (3x week). Which I consulted about before even signing up. I talked with three employees from the club and they all said I could change my membership whenever I wanted to, there is a 4month commitment to the regular membership but it wouldn't matter if I changed to the personal training membership. However the front desk person kept telling me I am not allowed to change my membership because I didn't fulfill my 4months. She said I would have to keep my membership and purchase extra personal training sessions on top of the membership because I have to keep it for 4 months. I told them names of people I consulted about this but she said "You must have misheard her" which really threw me off- I did not mishear, I double checked and triple checked because I was interested in personal training from the beginning, and plus I am trying to pay more to the club and they are not letting me do it?????Anyways it turns out I was right, I am allowed to change my membership(of course, $79 vs. $900 duh) and not worry about the 4 month commitment I had with regular membership. BUT the front desk person DID NOT SAY a single apology, all the confusion, all the arguments, she didn't have the basic info she should have had; she was like, oh it seems I can do that, and I asked couple more questions afterwards but she sounded like she was so annoyed by that point and kept repeating the same thing she already told me and telling me to come to club on Monday and figure things out. Worst customer service experience, the person I talked to was super unfriendly and rude, almost made me NOT want to go to the club anymore.

This is the first time I've ever been consistently motivated to stick with a training program long-term. It's because of the staff at CSC. They are friendly, professional, and make sure I have a training program customized for my needs. The facilities are always immaculate and comfortable. Instead of a big "corporate machine", it's small enough so I feel like it's "my gym". They greet everybody by name and create a warm and welcoming environment. I also like that there is a Physical Therapy practice on site! After an orthopedic surgery the Physical Therapist and a Personal Trainer worked collaboratively to maximize my recovery. It's a winning combination.

Definitely the best gym in the Boston area. The staff is amazing, knowledgable and always ready to help. They don't have every machine but all the equipment is in great condition and you can tell maintenance is done often. Salt water pool, steam room, sauna, and HOT TUB! Besides all that, the real plus is the atmosphere: the staff works hard to create a very welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, so everyone is nice. You can still get in the zone and do your thing, but it's a much nicer environment than most gyms I've been too. I had to change gyms because I moved to another part of Boston, and I miss CSC dearly!

Sub par customer service and typical business tactics to lie about membership cancellation policy on phone and then clarifying it by email. Not only they misinformed me on cancellation policy by phone, but they never gave me a copy of membership contract that I asked for. My advice to anyone joining this place is to be there in person when you decide to cancel your membership or they will deliberately lie and won't be responsible for any issues that occur during canceling process. Very disappointed.

I'm someone who never joined a gym and this is a fantastic first experience. I was matched up with a personal trainer to show me workouts and the classes are both accessible and intense. Instructors do a great job modifying workouts for varying skill levels. I've only missed 3 days in the last 3 weeks and I don't plan on stopping. Staff are already helpful, honest, and friendly.

The people here are fantastic. The equipment is top notch. It's never overly crowded. I would highly recommend joining Mark Samara in either one on one training or as part of his Varsity Weightlifting Club if you're looking to get jacked.
Now that I'm moving downtown, I'm seriously going to miss this place. But if you're moving to Allston or looking for a new gym in this area, there really is no other choice for anyone serious about getting in shape.

Best customer service! I was here a few years ago and then moved away. I had no idea how good (or bad) gyms could be until I moved away. Now that I've moved back into the area my very first move was to sign up with CSC, I'm thrilled to be back here. The customer service is spot on! The classes are great, and I can coordinate my schedule to hit the weight room when there's not much traffic. I would give 7 stars for a gym this great, considering its in the city and parking is a factor!!

I have been a member of this club for several years!
The place is EXTREMELY clean, staff friendly and willing to help if needed.
I had a personal trainer named TEOFE who was very nice, patient, funny and he initiated a clothing drive for my place of employment, Boston Health Care for the Homeless.
As someone who never had a personal trainer before, this was a very pleasurable experience and I plan to resume with him during the summer.
I highly recommend this health club!!!

The time I spend at CSC is predominantly in the weekday evening group fitness classes. First, the instructors are wonderful. They are well educated, experienced, professional, courteous and highly skilled in fitness instruction. I have a preexisting knee condition and each instructor has provided me with alternative moves/body positing to prevent further injury. The classes are also challenging and I always feel that I got a good workout. It's time well spent. So far, I've had the pleasure of taking classes led by the following people: Laura, Maria, Brenna, Nicky and Tyra. Second, it's great that there are several class options available during the week. It's helpful to have the option of a high cardio (spin) class and a muscle conditioning (booty barre/pilates) during the same time. That way, I can determine at the end of a day in the office as to whether or not I can muster up the energy needed for high impact vs. low impact class.

I have joined a lot of gyms over the past few years. I find myself dreading the thought of going and never stick to a solid routine. Ever since I joined Commonwealth I genuinely look forward to going to the gym everyday. (and that is saying a lot trust me, I have never been an extremely athletic person by any means). One of my favorite things are the great classes they offer. With your membership you have unlimited access to classes like booty barre, body pump, spinning and lots of other awesome options. All of the instructors are super upbeat and positive, and make you feel actually excited to be there. People of all levels excel in these classes and everyone seems to be very comfortable. There is really no intimidation factor whatsoever. I was nervous at first, but everyone has been beyond welcoming and helpful. With the structure of these classes, I find it so much easier to stick to a schedule. Instructors take the time to get to know you by name, and it really feels like they care if you come. Commonwealth is also extremely clean. From the second you walk in you really feel like you are getting what you pay for. They offer fresh towels at the front desk and the locker rooms are always spotless. Everyone has been so friendly and encouraging, I honestly can't say enough about how much I love this place. If you are going to spend money on a gym, trust me make it Commonwealth, you will not regret it one bit I promise!
