About the Club

Gear Performance is a gym that focuses on functional training, a type of personal training that aims to improve your body's ability to perform everyday activities. Functional training exercises mimic everyday life activities like bending, twisting, lifting, pushing, pulling, squatting, and hauling. They often involve multiple muscle groups working together to perform a single movement, which is different from traditional strength training that focuses on one muscle at a time. Functional training can help improve your balance, posture, coordination, and range of motion, and can also help reduce your risk of injury. We offer Personal Training, Nutrition, Hyrox Training, and General Strength and conditioning.

I’ve been struggling with motivation and feeling a bit down lately, but my trainer has really helped me stay consistent and positive. He customizes each workout to keep things engaging and makes me actually look forward to going to the gym. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough great things about Gear Performance! From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The coaches Henry Morales and David Jean are incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and always take the time to ensure you are performing movements safely and effectively. Their guidance and encouragement have truly helped me grow, both physically and mentally.
If you’re looking for a place that will inspire you to be your best self, look no further. Gear Performance gym has everything you need to reach your goals and beyond. Highly recommend!

Dropped in for a class recently and had a pretty underwhelming experience. As someone who visits different gyms often (and intentionally approaches them like a first-time client), I was disappointed with how this class was run. The workout itself was well-written and had great potential, but the coaching fell short in several key areas. The coach didn't clearly explain the exercises or transitions, and when I asked for modifications, they weren't able to provide helpful or appropriate options. Throughout the class, they were frequently on their phone and didn't seem engaged or attentive to the group. I didn't feel like I was being coached or even observed much at all.
I understand that not every coach will be the same, but for a drop-in experience, this didn't leave a good impression. A well-designed workout is only as effective as its delivery, and unfortunately, that was lacking here. Hope this is taken as constructive feedback-this place has potential with the right energy and attention on the floor.

Henry was great today. He showed me the proper form for today’s work out and corrected me throughout it when my form wasn’t great. Great workout today!

Henry elicits confidence and scaffolds for the class with different levels to do our respective best - inclusion at its best. Following new instructions in a group can be challenging, his demonstrations makes it easier for a visual practitioner like me with questions always being met with attentiveness and patience. Henry has a humanistic approach combined with expertise skills while being self-driven and self-discripline - a true inspiration and a role model in fitness and in self-care being a life style. Henry is a natural community leader connecting folks of various backgrounds and skillets while making folks feel seen and potentials actualized. I had a high bar transitioning from a former stellar coach who believed, pushed, and elevated me, I was so relieved to find Henry and his (friendly yet fierce) gym when I came back to the U.S. Henry is a top-notch coach doing what he does best in his life's calling - seemlessly transforming the class's inner thoughts of "damn, who the heck designed this 😱?" to "it always feels impossible until it's done😌!" as my present self thank my past self for showing up and getting it DONE, yet again, on repeat! Henry - thank you for being you! Looking forward to learning from and alongside you. 🤙🏽🙌🏽🫱🏾‍🫲🏽

Henry Morales gets an A+++ from me. There are trainers and then there are superlative, committed trainers. Henry, through his skills, commitment and dare I say love for his clients has literally transformed my life. My history includes years of fitness and then injury after injury with broken bones and 5 ankle breaks. I gained weight, I became sedate and frankly could not recognize who I had become. But, deep inside there was a prayer that I would once again become who I once was. It has been a 5 year process. It was a rocky road. There were many setbacks. Lots of body work and physical therapy. Henry was always tuned into my needs. Always moved move forward, Always provided support but never babied me or allowed for any self pity. He was the constant that drove me. Yes, Id di the work, but he provided the safety, the support, the encouragement and incentive and the belief that I could restore my body and my health. Is there any price one can put on those things that Henry brought to my life? I am 72 years old and yesterday I jogged for the first time. I have lost 14 inches in my waste and look 20 years younger than my age. I feel stronger than I have in years. Have a renewed sense of self and feel proud of who I am now. I just want more and more. The gym is a wonderful place. It is always friendly. Always supportive and comfortable. It is a serious place yet a caring place. I fully encourage you to join; especially if you have special needs. Henry will bring what few others offer. He has become one of my dearest friends and someone that I will always respect for all that he has brought to me and to others. He stands apart as a distinctly special person with special skills and specials attributes. He is also incredibly knowledgeable. But, I must always add a bit of humor. He does not walk on air and as of yet has yet to be sainted! But from my perspective, he is the best of the best. Please join in. You have much to gain. Ron

Gear Performance has everything you could ask for to start in the CrossFit field, it doesn’t matter the age, skill, or strength coaches will make adjustments for all your needs even if it seems hard to accomplish. Their workouts are ideally to make you a hybrid athlete meaning being able to develop skills in multiple disciplines, you will never get bored of their workout routines because THEY’RE NEVER THE SAME.

From a superficial perspective gym has tons of parking, it is in a centric location in Malden also the only CrossFit around it, the packages are reasonable in price, and they have at least 5-6 classes per day which makes it easier as a client to incorporate the routine into your schedule, they start classes on time, the cancelation policy is reasonable as well, they keep their installation neat and clean at all times, most of the members put in the work when working out which motives you to give the extra mile, in each class there’s people from 22-75 y/o with different backgrounds, the dynamic of the gym is more towards a welcoming community open to help you to achieve your goals, cheer your wins and stay with you in loses. Many members and coaches keep engaged in solo, and group competitions to prove their skilled abilities developed during classes. The owner is highly licensed, knowledgeable, and professional and dedicated to improving his work in the gym and it shows well within their clients.
Being part of GP is a lifestyle and mindset. Life is too short to not try new things, If you’re looking for a gym that genuinely cares about its members, you should give this place a try!

The best coaches and community ever!! This place has become my home away from home. The class structure is easy to follow. The support is unmatched and the friends you make is the cherry on top. Always supporting and loving each other every single day. You know you’ve found your community when they get genuinely excited for seeing you hit your milestones. I highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to start their fitness journey, wanting to try something outside of their comfort zone or if you’re a seasoned athlete looking for a place to take you to the next level, this is it!

This place right here is where is at! I have been coming to Gear since January of 2022 and I have seen so much change in my body and mind for the last 2 years that it’s amazing and I’m very grateful for it. When I began I only would come to 2 classes per week. But as I continue to show up and see the changes, get to know more of the community that it incorporates, I began to fall more in love and now if I’m not there 5 days a week is because I’m not in the country. But for me this place has done so much that is so hard to even think about skipping a class.

I will always recommend this place for everyone as it’s beginner friendly I mean when I started I was so anti the gym so I thought I would not last long there but I was wrong this is so different. What you learn here will help you function better outside in the real world and still look good like what! So yeah here I am still at it after 2 full years and a few months and will still be here until who knows so you will see me around when you decide to give it a try.

I can’t say enough good things about GP! Personally, I never really enjoyed working out bc I felt like I didn’t know what I was doing or how to, but GP really changed my perspective. The coaches here are incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely caring. They really go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels comfortable and supported AND they are able to adjust the workout or movement based on what you can do. There's a strong sense of community that makes every workout enjoyable, fun, and motivating. I highly recommend it !

Gear performance encompasses everything great about fitness and community. Not only are the coaches very knowledgeable and experienced but they are also super supportive in whatever you need help with. They will take the extra time to help you get better and give you very helpful advice and alternative exercises if needed. Not only are the classes challenging (in a good way), the people are honestly what makes it so easy to keep coming back. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive. It honestly is what makes the classes so fun. Everyone always pushes each other in the best possible way. So glad I found this hidden gem of a place and community.

If you are looking for a place to get in shape, adopt a new lifestyle, or even feel part of a family, this is the right spot for you. I have been a member here for a couple of months now. I'm beyond pleased with what I got. Henry, Anna, and David always ensured I pushed my limit. They believed in me. Initially, I was scared I was out of shape, but I loved how they adapted the training to my level from the start. The other team member is always motivating, helping, and supporting you to finish the training and feel proud of yourself and your achievements. After testing a couple of spots in the area this will be the best Gym ever .
