In a year the BAC team has done nothing for members and refuses to update us with any substantive information. I mostly used the club for tennis because of its convenient location - though the tennis accommodations were underwhelming to begin withThe lack of communication and overall unwillingness to even test reopening strategies is extremely disappointing. I will find somewhere else to play, and now that I have a home gym I will never be back.

RE-OPEN! Youve had all this time to come up with a safe, effective plan to re-open with limited capacity (even do online bookings!) and sanitation stations. But instead, you cut your community off from a healthy outlet. You will never again see my business!

Great location, plenty of equipment. Friendly and helpful staff. It has classes, a pool, personal trainers and as many other extra benefits as one could hope for (to include child care). I doubt theres a better gym in the Boston Area. Dont normally rate places, but they had an oddly low rating and felt compelled to speak up for them.

Its time to open up!

Front desk worker named Nell is super friendly and helpful! Great staff 😉

Great gym. Has it all. Pool, Jacuzzi, Yoga/Dance/Exercise Classes, Great equipment, Personalized training, on site physical therapy, massage, chiropractor and a hair salon. Childcare available. Locker room and showers are very clean. Steam room, and Sauna. Front desk staff is great. Towel service. Given all of this, you can’t beat the price $79/mth.

Took a water aerobics class w my Mom! I have no idea what its called but afterwards I realized that these older women are in better shape than me!! This place is the BEST, hands down!

Great huge gym and good customer service. Staff gave me a good tour around the facilities. I was impressed with its offerings. However, I thought is was really odd that I didnt see a single person of color (including Asian descent) in any of their comprehensive facilities for the 1.5 hours I stayed at the gym in the evening. Kinda weird.

Water Aerobics classes with Lori, Yoga with Terry and Group Exercise with Rhea are great classes. A health club with a lot to offer. The members are encouraging to one another.

Helpful knowledgeable staff, trainers, massage, PT, Chiropractor, pool, hot tub, saunas, tennis courts, racquetball, basketball, fitness classes, bikes and machines of all kinds. Take a tour and talk to the staff, not a perfect club and expensive at $70 a month but few can match it, Clean with people of all ages and races you will be welcomed no matter what shape or size you are because they are definitely friendly here.

Just moved to Boston this year, and I love this gym. So many options for sports, cardio, and strength training, you cannot get bored -- and the staff are beyond helpful. Theres even a sports bar, open to the public and perfect for hanging out after your workout. Plus, the membership is awesome and diverse - all ages and fitness levels will feel comfortable here.That said, its definitely a no-frills experience. If you want lattes or cucumber water, youll need to bring them yourself. Or you may want to try the much fancier spots downtown, like Equinox.But for those who just like to sweat and have fun? This place is awesome.

The price was high, but I was willing to bite the bullet because they do have a lot of options instead of just weights and/or cardio. But they would not cancel my membership without a specific form and charged me for a whole month after I moved out of Boston, even though I reached out over a week before my membership ended. Very poor final impression of what previously would have been a decent experience.

BAC is a great place for working out and they have lots of working machines, and your able to get a complete workout anytime! They also have a PT place right inside called Boston Physical Therapy, however small its awesome also! Did I mention they have drinks with electrolytes in them also?

Awesome group exercises and the instructors. Worth it.

Great works out space in South Boston.Biggest negative is the tennis courts are not well lit. A few inexpensive skylights would improve it immensely.

Was called racial slur my first week there. It seems like an old boys club, with lots of townie old men. Small section with gym equipment but I was told its expanding soon. Im not sure how long I will remain a member.Edit: continued membership, havent had any problems since. I hope it was an isolated incidence. Most other people have been friendly. Rich is super welcoming and the front desk staff are great. The weight section was expanded to a large room with much more space, while keeping the old area as well.

I when the there the first time was good but the second time was awesome I when the swimming 🎱 and then I ate 🍕 I loved it

All in all-- Ive been treated better at the supermarket checkout. Not anything near what youd expect for mid-range club service.My friend, who is a member, tried to go online to print a guest pass. Site was and is still down. We went to the front desk and the very folks who told us to go online said we needed a pass, else wed have to pay $20 to get in that day. Lady at the front was rude about it, denying the site is down, but it may be that its Friday afternoon or she wasnt having a good day.

The BAC is a great gym with a strong community vibe to it. They have mostly everything youll need from basketball, swimming, tennis, indoor soccer, to all the fitness and exercise equipment you could ask for.

The front desk staff are really friendly, theres a variety of equipment and classes, and theres a pool. Definitely no shortage of barbells which is nice.But thats where the benefits end. Im paying $90/mo to deal with one leg press, people who dont rerack and leave 90lb of plates loaded on the bench, and it looks like a lot of the equipment hasnt been replaced since this place opened. WiFi is spotty at best, showers are gross and old. Tried finding a bar pad for hip thrusts and the only one was old, broken, and just as effective as wrapping a towel around the bar (which I did instead).Outside of equipment, the parking lot is riddled with pot holes, the hours are mediocre at best, and guest passes for members are $20.It has a decent amount of equipment for sure but Ive been a member of nicer gyms that cost half this. Youre really only paying for location.

Nice gym with everything I need nearby home in Southie, but they are constantly changing things and removing stuff within the gym which is not always for the better. That coupled with the consistent price hikes earns a 3 star rating from me.

Mmmm? Probably not where I was headed. Sorry google, never been to this place either.

Terrible customer service! Recreational leagues are a joke! Our team disqualified from playoffs due to the lack of managers inability to organize. On top of that we were offered $36 like we were playing for money. Very disappointed and will never attend any other events or activities.

Customer care is so low. I dont get why theyve got so many members. Price high, people unwilling to help. They seem like they want to get rid of you asap.

Great gym. Nice staff. Good facilities.

Three stars only due to the personal trainers, boot camps, and cleaning staff. Trainers and bootcamps are great. The equipment is constantly broken with a 2 week turn around window. Gym is dated. No real push to invest in a gym overhaul. They have been working on this new functional room.. kind of like a crossfit area for months and months. I was able to get a peak inside and they are no where near done. This gym is situated perfectly in Southie with new young residents. Its a shame. This facility could be amazing if they would just invest and give the staff more to work with. Should I stay in southie for another year or so I will prob look for a better spot.

Best gym around thats still affordable.

Big gym. Favorite part was the weekday basketball pickup games. They also have a pool, steam room and sauna. The gym is old but they are in the process of remodeling the place.

The best customer care ever! gym is spotless and shiny extremely nice employees and so many options the pool the tennis court the basketball court the cafeteria the gym I just love it

I moved to Southie last year and had to give up my healthworks membership when I did. I wanted to find something comparable, which I knew would be difficult. BAC has fewer classes, somewhat dated cardio equipment, but similar no-frills amenities for around the same price. Bigger facilities, but I dont take advantage of everything offered. Im Finnish so sauna is essential to any club. Someone needs to tell these girls NOT TO WEAR SWEATY CLOTHES and SHOES into the sauna. Damn. Best neighborhood option for sure otherwise.

Ive been a member of many gyms in the Boston area, and Boston Athletic Club is my favorite. As long as I live in or near Southie, Ill be a member.

Very gud place .want to know that instructor is available for swimming classes for adult ladies.

BAC is pricey, but has it all, which is something I didnt anticipate that Id enjoy but now I find myself exercising more because there is so much to do.

1h30 walk to get there to practice in the batting cages advertised on the website to find out theyve been removed at least 2 years ago...

Convenient, center of downtown, really the only thing in that area, overpriced.

Little bit dated but has everything you need.

Theyre going to close down the field house...whats up with that?

Clean place❤
