My brother has been going here for years and always gave Peter and his team great reviews. It wasn’t until recently when I bumped into one of my girlfriends and complemented her on how great she looked, she told me “she owes it all to Peter Welches gym”. I knew then I had to sign up for a class and give it a shot.Fast forward a week later, my boyfriend and I attended a Sunday morning class and sure enough Peter kicked our butts. I will definitely be back. Thanks for a great workout Peter!

My first class at Peter Welchs Gym was an exceptional experience, fit for both Day 1 beginners and boxers with years of experience. The instructor was professional and knowledgeable, and took time to help students of all experience and skill levels. Not only is Peter Welchs Gym the place to go for a great fitness experience, it clearly also offers high level instruction for those looking to take their boxing to the next level. I would recommend PWG to any of my peers in Boston without hesitation.

I had a wonderful experience during my first boxing class. The instructors were very friendly, and the atmosphere was fit for both experienced and first time members. I look forward to my next lesson for an amazing workout and to learn techniques from the best.

Staff was super helpful when I called to schedule my first class. They made sure I was prepared for class. The atmosphere was very welcoming and Erics class was amazing!

Tried this place for the first time and loved everything about it! Great staff and great (super tough) class!

My first ever boxing class was at Peter Welch’s Gym and I was so impressed by the class. It was such a great workout and I really felt that it was a full body workout. This is a class that all levels can take and the more you take it, the better you will get. The all the staff was super friendly and atmosphere was great. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in a boxing class, to try there first one here. Looking forward to my next class! The gym has everything you need from equipment to locker rooms.

They are polite, professional, and amazing coaches. There is no need to be shy or intimidated about going there. Its a great atmosphere.

My first class at Peter Welchs Gym was an exceptional experience. The instructor was professional and knowledgeable, and took time to help students of all experience and skill levels. Peter Welchs Gym is the place to go for a great fitness experience!! I would recommend PWG to anyone without hesitation.

Peter Welchs Gym held an amazing boxing class. As a beginner I was taught the basic techniques to have an effective workout. I did not feel lost or behind, I felt at home. The music was good, the coaching was professional, and the atmosphere is incomparable. Definitely will be going again sometime soon!

I recently attended my first class at peter welchs boxing gym and it was such a great workout. One hour and I really got a sweat on. Cant wait ti go back!

By far the best gym I have ever been to. Very clean facility with professional instruction. The classes are top notch and the best workout you can do. Each class is a great balance of strength, technique and conditioning. The trainers are energetic and experts at getting the most out of you. I can’t recommend enough.

Peter Welch’s fighter conditioning class was awesome! I took my first class with Sam yesterday and felt so confident even with no prior experience. Got me right out of my comfort zone and learned some new moves while also getting a great work out in - would highly recommend!!

This weekend I took my first ever boxing class at Peter Welchs Gym and it was incredible! Im a former college baseball player and routinely at the gym 4 to 5 days a week. I was looking for another form of cardio that I could add to my workout routine and this class did not disappoint. The employees and instructors were very personable and helpful and definitely run a high quality gym. I plan on continuing to take classes here and would definitely recommend this gym to others!

A very cool boxing gym - very authentic setting and a nice variety of moves/drills to keep the time flying by. Low pressure and a safe place to start to learn boxing while getting in a good workout.

I took a free class at Peter Welch’s Gym in Southie. The owner’s son, Peter Jr, gave me some much needed pointers on some basics (jab, straight, moving in and out, slipping and rolling, etc). I practiced those a bit, and then we did a strength-and-conditioning-type class. 45 minutes of drills, bag work, and lots of calisthenics. I thought I was in good shape until I did all that 😁 It was intense, and I was sore for a couple days, but man, was it worth it. I felt like a million bucks, and I cannot wait to go back.

I loved the fighter tequichine class it was so intense and fat buring will be back

Best workouts. Trainers are awesome and put you to WORK!

The trainers are knowledgeable, caring and personable, the facilities are top notch and the location is great. I cant recommend this place enough!

This place is great. The team is very friendly and accommodating, classes are difficult, and fun vibe overall!

Havent only done with session here but im going back. Top notch faculty with amazing teachers. I got a great work out and started to learn the basics boxing. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a great workout.

I was a little nervous going to my first class but all was good, The instructor I had his name was Sean and he was very nice. The atmosphere of the gym is very friendly. Sean also had a great music playlist. I will diffidently be coming back for more classes.

I like that you dont have to trade off between a well-equipped gym and intense fitness classes. This place has it all including great locker facilities.

Super fun and a great workout!! Everyone is really nice and welcoming, great place to go for first timers

The fighting technique was just the authentic boxing experience I was looking for. Much better than any chain boxing studio. Definitely one of my favorite exercises!

The intro class was very welcoming and the conditioning class gave a great workout for sure!

First time coming to this gym and walking in I felt a bit nervous but the lady at the front desk helped me and my friend sign in for our free boxing class and gave us some gloves to borrow to get started.. class started and again I felt out of place cause I was out of shape but the instructor made sure to repeat himself a few times because he knew there were new people in his class which I appreciated because even though he said something 3 times the 4th time was when I actually caught on 😅 I will be going back to sign up for the month!! I like the vibe & energy and that is everything to me..

Extremely informative technique class. Exceeded my expectations, I was more than satisfied. Everyone there was very welcoming.

This was a great experience being shown the fundamentals of boxing, conditioning, and strength training for the first timers and the experienced. Great location and feel. Staff are well equipped with the information on anyones journey.

This place has become a second home to me. I have been a member for over 10 years and I still love it. The reconditioning classes give you a full body workout. The strength classes allow you to challenge yourself and Rosy’s personal training is top notch. The instructors are all amazing. I can’t say enough about how much this place has changed my life.

Love this gym. Incredible workouts and great people. Peter, the trainers, the staff, and the members are all welcoming & supportive, and there is a real sense of community in there. The gym is about personal improvement - for all walks of life and for all levels of fitness. The Fighter Conditioning classes, strength training sessions, and boxing technique classes are all excellent. Best gym Ive ever belonged to...by far.

I’ve been coming here for years and the gym has become a big part of my life. The classes are great if you just want to get in shape or step out of your lane and try something new. The staff and trainers are super friendly and amazing at what they do, really push you to get you to the next level. Peter himself takes the time to get to know everyone member and does a great job of making you feel a part of the gym’s culture. By coming here I’ve learned to really respect and love this sport.

Peter Welchs is a home away from home. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Clean facility and equipment that maintains an authentic feel. A workout experience that allows you to go at your preferred intensity. Whether youre looking to lose weight, gain lean muscle, or really learn the art of boxing, Peter and staff will make it happen for you.

Great workout. I’ve been to both EveryBodyFights and now Peter Welch’s. PWG is definitely the place to be if you’re looking for a real boxing experience.

Was recommended by a friend and had a great workout. The facility is amazing and the instructor was awesome.

Best gym and around! I’ve been a member for 10 years and I still get excited every day to go to class. Peter, the owner, cares about all members and know all of them by name. Trainers and classes are awesome. I have been doing a small group training with Jonathan Rosenthal aka Rosy and it is the best training I’ve ever had. Rosy puts so much thought into all of his workouts and motivates us to be the best we can be. Highly recommend Peter Welch’s Gym!!

Great instruction. Good class size. great atmosphere. Good competition.

I went to my first class at Peter Welch’s yesterday, and loved the experience. It was a great workout, and has an awesome atmosphere. The staff was friendly and helpful the entire time. I will definitely be going back!

As someone who is new to fitness, I got a great and challenging workout here; I definitely reccomend!

Great experience, I was a little nervous and intimidated at first being it was my very first time trying out boxing, however all staff and members are friendly and welcoming, the workout was great i felt the challenge and felt so good and accomplished.

Ive been a member for a long time. Cant say enough about the owner, trainers and training. Each workout for the past 8-9 years has been a great decision. Never disappointed.

Great atmosphere and an excellent, challenging (and fun) workout! Very friendly and welcoming to all.

This place is awesome. If youre looking for a great workout or to get into boxing or just boxing conditioning and you live even remotely in the vicinity of the Southie/Dorchester area, this is the place to be. The instructors are great; theyre all really nice guys, and they all run a great class. Its 50 minutes of non stop working, but its fine if you go at your own pace. I could not recommend workout out at PWG anymore if I wanted to!

Fun and respectful staff, great gym with tons of equipment, I can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely love the creativity brought by each instructor to every single class, especially now during the Zoom era.

Ive been working out at Peter Welchs for a number of years now. The instructors are top notch and the classes they teach incorporate a mix of boxing, cardio, and strength training. I know for some it might be intimidating to go to a boxing gym but give it a try and youll be hooked.

I have been coming here for years! Love it! Great staff, equipment. The locker rooms are clean and great. I like how they have someone cleaning throughout the gym every time I go.

I love this place! Every teacher is different but awesome and challenging. The staff and other memebers are very welcoming. You leave there drenched in sweat and feeling a million times better than when you walked in the door. I highly recommend it to all levels of fitness.

As a black man myself, I tend to disagree with some of the comments Ive seen below. Im a huge fan of Peter Welchs. Amazing energy from the staff and ALWAYS friendly. If anyone is looking for a great team atmosphere where workouts are constantly changing and you can TRULY learn the skills of boxing, this is the place to be. Keep up the Great Work!!

Great place to train. Motivating staff and atmosphere. Very down to earth and accommodating.

The positive atmosphere with its dedicated and experienced staff sets this gym apart from the rest. Highly recommend.

I find the workout at Peter Welchs Gym very challenging but rewarding. Dont know of any other gym that gives you this type of work out. Results are amazing. Love his gym, been going there since it opened when it was across the street. Try it youll agree.

As a former competitive cross fit athlete who was getting hurt all too often, this is an incredible alternative. There is much less body impact and arguably is a better overall body workout. Strength class is also an option as well as the full gym upstairs. The classes and instructors are phenomenal. Definitely give it a shot.

Best Boxing Gym for all types of levels and best trainers, as for Johnathan Rosenthal for 1one1 boxing training if you want more personal training.

So Ive always wanted to try boxing but its always intimidating trying something new. The staff at Peters gym made it easy.My journey started out with Eric Savard giving me my intro lesson, where I began to learn the proper techniques and movements. Enough to dive into some conditioning classes and get hooked.Which brings me to 3 years later, Im working with a great trainer Jonathan Rosenthal, aka Rosy. He paired me up with somone at the same level as me and weve been splitting the private lessons weekly. Its been the greatest thing, Im now sparring occasionally which I never thought Id have the courage to do. Rosy has been the greatest trainer, hes making it easy especially for somone like me.If youve ever thought about trying boxing or just looking for a great workout this is the place. Ive found a great new family here.

What a great workout ! The class included a little bit of everything and was an amazing total body workout.

I started working out at Peter Welchs Gym in April of this year (2016). I was trying to get in shape for the summer so I signed up for the 30 day trial. Wow, what a workout! This is fun and physically demanding. The camaraderie in the gym is great, and it is nice to see everyone ready to go at 6:30am! If you are looking to get in shape and learn some boxing technique, this is the gym for you!PS: I signed up for the year after my 30 day trial.

Five star training! If you are serious about getting in shape this is the place.

Wonderful experience. I went once with my sister, she wasnt ready. I loved it. I have to get over the need and want of someone going with me. The staff was great super friendly and motivational. I will return one day soon.

Great facilities and excellent staff. Ive been going to this gym for almost a year and its been a great experience. Ive had two different gym memberships at the same time and this is the one I find myself at most despite the other being two blocks from my house and Peter Welchs is 5 miles away.

I highly recommend this gym for people considering trying boxing for the first time, those looking to get back into it, or people just looking for a great 60 minute workout that hits every muscle group, hard.Amazing staff, atmosphere, music and clientele.The team is very flexible about trial memberships etc... making it easy give it a shot. You will be hooked after one class.

The Peter Welch gym is a great gym to train at, no matter if youre a new comer or advanced! You will get a great full body workout and pick up new techniques! This is a comfortable environment and the trainers are great!Have fun!

Best gym in Southie! Legit best workout Ive ever experienced. The trainers are attentive, engaged and fun. The facilities are exceptionally clean for a boxing gym. Ive been an active member at this gym since the doors first opened and dont have plans to leave anytime soon.

Welcoming staff and incredible workout! Just cancelled my crappy Planet Fitness membership for this, and it was the best decision Ive made in a while. Check out the fighter technique classes too! Many different fitness levels represented here, so dont feel intimidated.

Best boxing gym Ive ever been to. All the coaches are super great. People that go there are great. Good community and great workout!!

Peter welchs gym is the place to be for all levels and for all people. I remember my first walking into the gym at 20 years old and falling in love with it. The atmosphere, the energy and the people there. Im 24 now and I walk in and still feel it when I walk into that place.

Joining this gym was the best decision ever! From the friendly staff to the rigorous workouts...its as good for your mental health as it is your physical! Highly recommend Peter Welchs gym.

If your looking to get into the best shape of your life while receiving boxing training from skilled instructors, then look no further! Ive been boxing for over 10 years and tried classes at other gyms, but PWG is the gym that has changed me physically and mentally. And they offer so many classes that can accomodate those of you with a crazy work schedule. See u at your new home away from home!

Started at the gym two years ago and I was a total rookie at boxing. The trainers and other participants made me feel really welcome from the get go. I take the fighter conditioning class and it is a wonderful workout that will make you work your cardio, core and boxing skills. I highly recommend Peter Welchs gym!

Best gym in Boston. I always leave Peter Welchs Gym feeling great! Its definitely worth trying. You wont be disappointed.

There are several choices in the Boston area for Fitness, Boxing or both. but Peter Welch has built the perfect atmosphere to achieve your fitness goals, and learn boxing technique from the best .There is an authenticity to the gym that u feel as soon as you walk thru the door. Peter and his staff will challenge you not only from a physical fitness standpoint but how you look at your overall health.What I find most impressive is there is no ego here, anyone of any fitness level can join and grow in this environment. A sense of community, not found in your typical franchise gyms.You will find boxing contenders/champions and first timers side by side working hard and giving it their all under some of the best trainers in Boston.

Best boxing gym around. Professional trainers and fighters all ready to help. I love this gym. I drive 40 minutes just to work out there every day and its worth it.

Been going to this gym since it opened. Great place and great people. I love starting my mornings there and its great that they maintain the feeling of a local gym.

Incredible workout!!! People are really friendly and a place where you will make friends while achieving new heights in fitness. If you shower, bring a towel and get your game on!

Love this place! Workouts vary each day - I enjoy starting my day at Welchs. Highly recommended!

Amazing place to get in shape, learn to properly fight. And be trained by some very talented fighters.

Best gym in the area. Staff is extremely helpful/talented and happy to help where needed. They want you to succeed both in the gym and out.

This is hands down the best gym. If your serious about getting into shape or learning the art of fighting then this is the best gym for you.

This is great place to get a workout no matter what your skill level is. A variety of classes and instructors keep your program fresh.

Legit place to train. They are doing it right. Only place I’ll train at in the Boston area.

Ive been to so many gyms with various kinds of trainers and athletes, however, Peter Welchs gym stands out because its got it all. If youre all about fitness, or competition, you got it all there. I love it!!!

Best gym in Boston! Thank you PWG!!

Went to free initial workout. It was an excellent workout and fun at the same time.

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Their youth program helps keep young kids off the streets. The workout is intense!

The real deal! PWG is a Southie landmark. Great trainers and gym.

Great place for a great workout. This place is the real deal gym. You are there to workout. Not look pretty.

You will not get a better workout anywhere else. Dont let the boxing aspect scare you. Thats what makes this gym awesome!

Upon my first visit after signing up for their prime membership a young woman there communicated with me completely inappropriately and unprofessional. I attempted to ask her a few questions regarding their classes and boxing glove rentals, to which she rolled her eyes and told me she didnt have time as she was participating in a class herself.Why on earth would you allow your staff to participate in classes while they are on duty? Why was this young woman so entitled to not helping me and answering my questions but so quick to disregard my concerns.I cancelled the membership that day. Terrible service, terrible people. Thoroughly represents the implicit bias and covert racist ways that the southie population of Boston is notoriously known for. Do not visit this gym if you are minority.

I have tried lots of gyms but this one is by far the best, the work out is amazing, everybody who works at the gym, they are so friendly and the gym is non-judgmental.

Always a positive experience at Peter Welch’s gym. Great classes with helpful trainers.

This is my happy place, have met so many great people since I joined last year, no frills and pretty much the best workout around hands down!

There is no better experience, its welcoming and they work diligently to ensure that their customers / boxers / and newcomers get the best experience out of there daily routine workout .

Awesome gym! One of the best boxing gyms i have been to.

Best workout in Boston. Challenging, motivating instructors. Highly recommended

Youll get a great cardio workout here, theres no doubting that. If mastering the science of boxing is your goal, go somewhere else.Likes:- Open pretty much all day everyday- Cardio-intensive classesDislikes:- Lack of equipment- Overcrowded classes- Focus on cardio over technique- Lack of availability for sparring

Great experience at the gym so far, well worth the money

I love this gym!! I love the crowd, workout and the variety in techniques and class

I have been going to Peter Welch’s boxing gym for several years, I have tried other gyms but none are as good. They have the beat boxing workout in Boston

Great knowledgeable trainers and the classes are constantly changing. I would definitelyrecommend Peter Welchs Gym

Real work outs taught by real fighters that know what it takes.

Incredible workout!!! Never sweat so much! If youre looking for a real boxing gym, this is the place!!
