Ive been a member at Get In Shape For Women Porter Square for 2+ years now and cannot recommend this studio highly enough! The workouts are challenging but tailored to your individual needs/abilities and the community of women who work out together make every session that much more enjoyable. Everyone is super supportive, kind, and positive. John does an amazing job of motivating everyone and keeping every workout fun through his positivity, Dad jokes and dance moves. Hes also taken and continues to take all recommended precautions for COVID, which makes working out feel super safe. Katie is fantastic to work out with as well and does an excellent job combining old and new exercises to keep every session interesting.
Ive been coming to the gym for over three years now and absolutely love both the workouts and the community. John is a joy to work out with and Ive met some great women in the small-group training classes . The pandemic has been difficult both physically and mentally so I was excited to come back. I feel really safe with all the COVID protocols in place at the gym and its great to be back and working out again. 10/10 would recommend.
I have been a member her for 5+ years, and love the community of women and quality trainers. They will challenge you regardless of your age, fitness level, or ability, and adapt exercises as needed. Having an appointment insures that I get myself there regularly...highly recommend!
Highly recommend. Whether you’re a hardcore athlete or just starting to think about getting fit, you’ll find the right fit here. Also, given COVID, I feel very safe with the small group model.
John and Katie are excellent trainers. They are so friendly and responsive and the women that come here to train make for a great workout community! I would highly recommend!
I love this gym! Ive done circuit training at several gyms and this is my favorite by far! Catering to women of all ages, John and Katie are great about adapting workouts to all levels, limitations and abilities. I dont feel the pressure I did at other gyms about not being able to keep up someone much younger than me (Im 54), but still feel challenged (in a good way). Aside from the workout, I love the community in Get In Shape. Both John and Katie take the time to get to know the members personally and everyone is super supportive of each other. Whatever your age or fitness level, if youre looking for a great workout at a gym that wont make you feel self-conscious, this is for you!
Ever since I joined get in shape for women in porter square, I really enjoy going to the studio and get my workout done.
Nice place for a quick workout with friendly atmosphere. Get a weights workout in and then hit some cardio, better price than many other gyms in the area

Get in Shape for Women Porter Square is clearly the best gym I have ever joined! The two owners Kate and John are truly the heart and soul of the gym! John is an excellent trainer who can adjust the work-out to each individual’s needs and goals, and his never ending cheerful and encouraging attitude makes everybody work out the very best they can! Kate runs the business with John expertly, she knows everybody by name and makes each member feel like family.I happily sweat and work out every day in that gym!!!
Incredible place! Almost like having your own personal trainer. Always positive & encouraging! Its hard to believe that at my age, I can still get stronger & more fit! I hope that it goes on forever!
The trainers and owners are always there for support in exercise and for nutrition.They are professional, always knowledgable, and encouraging. Tailored to the needs of each woman, the workouts are just the right amount of challenging. The appointments are key for me--I dont have to wonder which day and time I am going to exercise! Great place.
This might be the most amazing gym I’ve ever joined. The staff are phenomenal and really dedicated to your success. I’m never bored and always have great workouts. 10 our of 10 would recommend to any friend!
Very personalized and caring small gym with knowledgeable trainers. They work to create a community committed to healthy exercise and diet. The combination of strength, HIIT, and diet works if you are consistent.
Ive been going here for over 3 years. Heres what I love about Porter Square GISFW: *The professionalism of the staff - they love what they do and want nothing more than my success - they take this very seriously. *They know how to vary the exercises and the pace so well push ourselves harder to get more results. *Their can-do spirit is infectious, and they all have a wonderful sense of humor. *They acknowledge our aches and pains and body ailments and help us work safely through our issues and challenges; they also know when to recommend outside help; they seek to work within our doctors (or physical therapists) guidelines. *They go the extra mile to problem-solve and/or work with us around special issues. *They are a wealth of knowledge around best-practice nutrition, healthy and non-healthy foods and lifestyle choices to keep us FIT. *They are always encouraging us. *The owners run the company like a real (professional) business with excellent standards and communication; making and changing appointments is easy, managing our calendars is easy, discussion of finances is straight-forward, etc. They are accessible and transparent, smart and I trust them completely. *Even when I dont feel like going, I know I really want to go - and I DO because they believe in me and I do not want to let them down.
Extremely professional and very beneficial to my overall health. The facility was very professional and very inv dyed in improving my health concerns. The owners and Trainor’s were friendly and fostered a family atmosphere and made it their mission to help all members achieve their health goals
