Fantastic gym! I’ve been training here for over two years, and every experience has been amazing. I really enjoy the boxing classes with Mark, he’s an excellent instructor, have been taking his classes for as long as I started coming here. The workouts are consistently challenging but rewarding. I’ve even recommended him to friends to train. Definitely plan to keep coming back!

I’ve been a member of VIM for the past three years and it was of the best decisions I made when moving to Cambridge. The facilities and location are great, but what truly sets it apart is the community.

My favorite classes have included boxing with Mark, BollyX with Dalia, and strength training with Marlon. Through these classes, I have made new friends and learned new things— my life in Cambridge would not be the same without VIM!

Great facility and great staff. I do like the boxing conditioning group fitness class. It is a hard workout pushing me harder than I would go if I worked out alone. Learning boxing also helped my confidence. The teachers are fantastic!

One of the best gyms in the Cambridge area without breaking the bank. Smells, looks and feels clean. Their weight room has a wide selection of machines and there's usually always a cardio machine available. There are several areas in the gym for stretching and things of that nature. I enjoyed the amenities and atmosphere. Massage chairs, clean hand towels from the front desk and the locker rooms. There was also a sauna at their other location a couple blocks away.

Classes came with the membership I signed up for which really helped me spice things up.

The staff was always welcoming and friendly. Cancelation was easy and straight forward.

I highly recommend VIM 👍🏼

This gym used to be so good. Now they’re run like every other business: without humanity, on the fuel of corporate greed.

VIM is a money-grubbing scam. They don’t respond to email. They don’t let you suspend your annual membership if you’re traveling or break your leg. And they won’t let you delay the start of your membership after they take your money—even when you call and tell them you have COVID. So, have fun getting infected, everyone at VIM, because apparently this week is the “only” time that my membership can start, and since it’s so darn expensive, I am going to get my money’s worth.

Very neat and luxurious workout place. Although I mostly do cardio there, there are so many different kinds of weights, equipments and useful training programs included in the membership. Am thinking to take one of their fitting programs. Also I enjoy very much their dry and wet spa. It has showers and lockers. Highly recommend if you are looking for a gym that's distinguished. Just to share my recent experience on their membership management, it's set autopay so make sure you are not late on cancellation in advance. They will put everything on your fault and never going to do a single thing even if you don't use the gym at all without noticing the slippery renewal.

Great gym, solid equipment. Can get pretty busy during peak hours but you’ll still be able to get a workout in.

The website will tell you this gym has a sauna which is partially true — only the Vim Pilates location (included in the membership) down the street does.

Do be aware that to exit VIM you may need to use the :wq command in your terminal.

The gym is very nice, but the hours are bad. I wish they opened at 4:30 AM on week days for those with early jobs and no energy to work out in the evening. On the weekend it would be nice if they opened at 6 AM so that those that want to could get an early start on the weekend by having their whole day ahead of them after working out. If a gym with earlier hours and just as nice equipment opened in central, I’d switch gyms in an instant.

Given the membership isn't cheap at this gym, you would think 1/4 of the machines wouldn't always be broken. Why does it take months to repair something? The bathrooms are always out of soap, toilet paper or are broken. The CAC is a superior gym in every way.

Love the studio classes. The yoga is absolutely great, teached by great instructors. The mat pilates classes are also great. The showers are well equipped and clean, and there's plenty of available lockers. The only problem is that you can't keep your stuff in the lockers during the week or even during the night, so if you're planning on taking a shower you need to bring your things every time. The good part is that there is towels service :)

The best gym in Cambridge, easily. Lots of equipment, a big clean space and lots of lockers in the locker room. It can sometimes get pretty busy at peak hours, as well run out of space in the locker room, so I recommend going early in the morning or after the post work rush. They recently added a number of new stations and pieces of equipment, adding to its appeal.

Clean, well designed, with considerate clientele and professional staff at the most reasonable rate for this caliber of club. Can be a little tight in the free weight area, but that's understandable when securing premium space in one of the most in demand US city centers. The whole place had the feel of a highend club with the exception of the wall under the bathroom hand dryer that could use a little more regular wiping down.

I started going to VIM a couple on months ago when my office moved to Central. I don’t have anything but great things to say. The gym is clean, great layout of equipment, and it’s never overly crowded.

For the price, it’s an incredible deal. Not as luxurious as Equinox but leaps and bounds better than a Boston Sports Club.

Great gym, questionable customer service.

Loved working out at this gym, equipment is great and always available (at least at times I went). Employees were super nice and helpful. Customer service from upper management is a little sketch. Moving to Chicago in 7 days and instead of working a deal out with a retuning customer they decided it was best to charge me for an entire month. I love this place and will be traveling back to boston ~6 times a year for work. I would have spent the money to workout at VIM during these times if they had treated me better in my moving situation.

Their customer service is the worst I've experienced in any gym, including a gym like Planet Fitness. Their online system is unnecessarily complex and clunky (e.g. I had to re-type my address, number, and other personal information to cancel, whereas in other gyms, you just tell them your name and ask to cancel.). They also make you cancel at least two months in advance-- this was not communicated to me upon sign-up. When I pointed this out, they were very rude and defensive rather than apologetic. It's a shame BSC Central Square closed down because VIM is 3x as expensive and 3x as rude.

It has everything I would need and is really well priced, given it's not huge (no pool) or upscale. If you get a day pass, you have to pay $20 which can be deducted if you buy a membership on the same day. I've never used the showers but they look clean. Best of all--and this is super important as a young woman--everyone here is super respectful and I have never felt unsafe or creeped out

Joining VIM as a member has been one of the best decisions I've made since moving to the area 2 yrs ago. In addition to offering top-notch fitness classes (which is the most effective way I exercise and trust me you are sore, sweaty, and fulfilled after every class), VIM fosters such a welcoming, inclusive community. Gyms can often feel intimidating, but I've met some of the most genuine, eclectic, awesome people in the VIM community. Couldn't recommend this place more - in my view, the best gym in Cambridge! :)

Very disappointed with their customer service. I joined the club February 1st and unfortunately I got transferred to a new job in another state on February 28. I ask for a refund and was told it was not possible. Then was told by GM that he needed to speak to owners and see if it was possible to charge one month of service and refund the remaining amount. That I though was reasonable compromise. Got the call that owners would not refund anything. Imagine charging full amount and not refunding anything. Where is the customer service or integrity for a fitness center. Advice don’t do yearly plan with this place. And I was a member of this gym. Why would I write this if I was not.

I’ve been a member for 3-4 years now and really like this gym. It is clean and facilities and locker rooms have an upscale feel with mid range prices, and it is rarely crowded even during prime times. You should definitely check it out if you are looking for a “nicer” gym while not
completely breaking the bank— a huge step up from BSC or Planet Fitness while not quite as cushy as HealthWorks, for example. Viewing and bookings classes is easy with an app, and you can even freeze your membership if you take a vacation or extended time away. I will say that the primary Central Sq location has no windows since it is below ground. Regardless, it seems to somehow not have a stuffy feel. One recommendation would be to open a half an hour earlier at least to be on par with other gyms. I would love to work out in the mornings, but with a 6am opening time I would be cutting it close. A few other recommendations: don’t charge a $20 fee to “try” your gym— a one time free guest pass would encourage others to try it out and give off more of a welcoming vibe. I have overall been very happy with this gym, classes, and facilities.

VIM Fitness offers a relatively great price for gym membership at Central Square. However, their personal training management is not attractive to someone who wants to start a package. Although they offer a FIT Assessment, scheduling with a personal trainer is antiquated as it requires texting and unfortunately you fall trap to 'someone has that spot already' rather than a mobile weekly system where you can easily set this. I started a 6 pack that went smooth on the first week, but quickly ended up being a scheduling nuisance as then my trainer was on vacation for the subsequent week across 2 out of 3 days scheduled. From then on, it just went downhill on getting a morning time that wasn't taken and would allow me to get to work on time. Furthermore, although they claim it's 1 hour, I consistently got 45 minutes of personal training instead. I ended up having to fully cancel my package (with sessions remaining) and committing elsewhere. I would recommend the gym but not the personal training sessions.

Great gym for the value. Has plenty of squat racks, has a deadlift platform, and two benches. Most people in the lifting area seem to know what they are doing. Only issue I have is the personal trainers will occasionally just rope off the stretching area and everyone else has to deal with it.

Great value so fitness is accessible to many in the community (every gym in this metro area is way overpriced so it’s refreshing they aren’t following this trend), convenient location and very clean, new equipment, super quiet before the 5 o’clock rush (which I love) and awesome Mat Pilates class taught by Sharon!
