As someone who’s always preferred urban HIIT format yoga, I was pretty resistant to the idea of spin. Jessie brings the same intensity and mindset to the bike. Her approach is all about pushing yourself without the pressure, and she reminds you that you can do anything for a minute.
She brings real energy and keeps the pace challenging but manageable. The music is solid, the flow makes sense, and you leave feeling stronger. Highly recommend!

Many people in several groups have asked for information on a good gym, a spin class, or cardio kickboxing class. My response is ALWAYS Sweatshop Fitness RI. I've been going to this gym for four years. I've taken every class lead by every instructor. While each class is challenging they're designed to proceed at your own pace with modifications provided if needed. We have so much fun while getting a great workout, never worrying about what others are thinking because this is truly a non-judgemental gym. Truly a gym family!!
This is a gym where Heidi Audet, the owner, and her team of amazing instructors genuinely care about their members and their progress!! Members is the wrong word...I don't feel like this is a gym that I'm a member of...I feel that Sweatshop Fitness is my gym where I belong. If your thinking of improving your health this is the place for you!! FIRST CLASS IS FREE!!!! We'd love to meet you!!

Sweatshop is so much more than your average gym! In 2017, I decided to sign up for a 16 week challenge that I saw being advertised on FB. It was the best decision I have ever made! Not only did I lose the weight that I gained from quitting smoking, I became friends with so many amazing people. We are like a big happy gym family! If you are looking for a friendly, supportive, non-judgmental, healthy community then come check out Sweatshop Fitness. The first week is FREE, so what do you have to lose?!?!?

Joining is easy. Showing up on day one is hard. Showing up after day 2048 is not hard! I’ve found nothing but unwavering support here through all of life’s challenges!

Started going to Sweatshop almost a year ago with my son for kickboxing and words cannot explain the positive effect it has had for both of us! The classes, instructors and members are all so positive and great it really is like a family. If you need a gym to help hold you accountable this is it! You won't want to miss any of the great classes but the friends you make along the way will only help make sure you get there. The first week is free so you can try out all the classes that are sure to not disappoint!

When I walked into Sweatshop over two years ago for my first kickboxing class, I was nervous, afraid, and questioning if I could do it. Within five minutes I felt at ease and overwhelmed with the encouraging support. I felt so welcome and could not stop smiling the entire time. I joined that night and have not once regretted that decision. If you think you can't do it, you can.

I was so happy when I discovered Sweatshop Fitness. I wish I had known about it sooner! Not only because it’s so close to my home, but because I also found a fitness home! We have all ages and stages here, women and men! Heidi, the owner, is committed to Sweatshop Fitness. She, the instructors and my fitness-mates are welcoming, encouraging, fun, and helpful, even if you’re just starting your fitness quest ( which I am a year and a half into). It is more personal than just attending a gym where you’re on your own. I know I have gotten stronger because of Sweatshop Fitness.

Sweatshop is the best gym!! 5 + years now and love what I get out of it every time I go, no matter which class it is. All the instructors know how to motivate you and keep you moving. We all give each other support and are there for each other. Nothing is better than this!!

I’ve had several gym memberships over the years, and none had the same motivating, supportive fitness culture and I am not just talking about the instructors who are fantastic! Sweatshop is a friendly gym where the members also support and encourage each other. The classes are fun and energetic. My Favorites are Becky’s Body Beats, Kickboxing, and Full Body Strength. I encourage anyone looking for a new gym or to get into fitness to come try out Sweatshop!

I ❤️ Sweatshop Fitness. All of it: the classes, the members, and the instructors. There is something for everyone. If you have fitness goals, and want to be a healthier, stronger you, even if you’ve never stepped foot in a gym before, Sweatshop Fitness will support and guide you in your journey.
If you are reading this and you think “maybe”, just do it, because the first week is free! What do you have to lose?
I hope to see you there soon. 😁

I found Sweatshop Fitness about 4-5 years ago at a turning point in my life. I wanted options and group fitness because honestly i was not self motivated enough for a traditional gym. Literally was the best decision i ever made. I went from being always tired and making poor health decisions to being surrounded by the most supportive group of people that are the greatest gift i could have ever hoped to receive. Does not matter what your fitness level is, there are so many classes to choose from. Have an injury? They have a modification for that! Need support? Sweatshop is all support, no judgment!
Heidi and her instructors care about the whole person. I always walk out of the gym better than when i walked in!

If you’re looking for a gym where you feel welcome the moment you walk in the door, this is the place. You are not just a number walking on a treadmill; you’re getting healthier with a room full of people there supporting you. On the days when I’m not “feeling motivated” to get there, I think about the people I get to be around and it gets me there! A true gem of a gym where there truly is no judgement. All fitness levels and the instructors are awesome about providing modifications when needed!

Sweatshop Fitness...... I'm not sure where to begin! I have belonged to a gym since I was 14 years old. I struggled with my weight until I joined The Sweatshop. When I walked into The Sweatshop it felt different. It felt like home. The instructors are amazing and like none other. The classes are motivating, challenging, fun, rewarding and tailored FOR ALL FITNESSLEVELS. The atmosphere is great. The Sweatshop is truly amazing. I hope to see you there. The picture below is just one of the many fun activities that we participated in.

I have been going to Sweatshop Fitness since 2017. I never get tired of my gym! The instructors are always mixing things up to keep you on your toes. I have learned how to Kickbox, spin, lift weights. Have learned about my diet. Also, that you are never ever too old! I am turning 64 next month! I feel terrific my cholesterol is great. I feel in shape and am able to keep up with my grandchildren. There is no excuse not to exercise! Do it for yourself it is just a small part of your day. a 45-minute class that's it! I can tell you if you have your health, you have everything, being a nurse, I know this. The atmosphere at this gym is refreshing the people are friendly, supportive. It is a totally judgement free. People come in all shapes and sizes. You work at your own pace. I have been to commercial gyms and Sweatshop Fitness by far surpasses any commercial gym. You will not find the type of support we have. We welcome men and women. I suggest anyone who would like to come and try it for a free week! You will not be disappointed !

Sweatshop Fitness is the only gym I’ve ever belonged to ( and I have tried them all) that truly motivates, inspires and holds members accountable to their goals. This place has become like family. I started at the gym doing only weights classes, because I was scared to try the other ones— specifically spin & kickboxing, but all of the members and trainers encouraged me & I tried them all. Now I truly can’t pick a favorite. They are all so fun, different and challenging. I can’t think of a single person that Sweatshop wouldn’t be good for! It truly is one stop shopping for fitness, family and fun. Everyone should go check it out!

For anyone looking to gym this gym, I’m highly disappointed..
I went to cancel my membership within the 3 day period in my contract. I had signed for the membership on the 8th but on the contract where it asks “were there any promises or special arrangements outside the agreement and the program guidelines offered to you? If so explain what they are:”
We had agreed and written in that I would be starting later due to a different kickboxing program I was in. The person Mike said that’s fine but I need to sign the paper that day the 8th or I would lose my spot in my gym and my official start day would be the 20th.
I signed up for this program because of the pictures they used on Facebook are of a full gym with a lot of kickboxing bags, when I signed up for the gym we weren’t allowed a Tour because a class was in session, so when I started the 20th and went to the gym I realized it was completely different and didn’t have any of the equipment or bags they advertised online. I tried to go the first 2 days of my contact to see if I liked it and I didn’t, so I went to cancel my membership on the 22nd which was my second day of starting and the owner Heidi Audet said she doesn’t do the refunds we have to go Mike Mendez who signed us up. He said we would look into it on the 22nd and said there shouldn’t be an issue. It’s now the 26th almost 27th and he will not answer my phone calls and Heidi will not deal with it. I just want my refund back. I’m within my contract.
