Mike is a high quality trainer. Seen big improvement in just a couple months working with him. Great community of members that are friendly and encouraging to hit your training goals. Highly recommend giving the gym a try for any level.

Cant recommend Ruth Fitness enough! 5 stars!!!I have tried a number of gyms over the years, but Ruth Fitness really ticked all the boxes for me. They offer a wide variety of training packages (tailored towards your goals), dietary advice and some of the best self defense and combat training in Boston! Not only that, but Mike done a great job at providing an environment that was friendly and encouraging, which made the training super fun!I had been struggling to get the motivation to train this time last year after having suffered a knee injury. Mike specifically developed a training regime to meet my goals, and 7 months later... I have lost 30 pounds, gained muscle in all areas and becoming fitter, healthier and happier by the day!Truly a fantastic coach.

Amazing Personal Trainer! Have seen so much progress since I first started coming here. He trains you for the type of body type you want to have!

Awesome place and the staff is very friendly they make u work hard, worth it :)

I cannot recommend working with Mike enough. He is a knowledgeable, experienced, motivating, and professional trainer who works with you on an individual plan to reach whatever your goals may be. His commitment to his clients exceeded my expectations, and he takes a personal interest in your own success.

Tremendous gym and training programs. The training I received here has been better for my shoulder (and more affordable) than the PT I did for years, and Ive been coached to build muscle mass I didnt even know I was capable of building. Highly recommend! 11 out of 10! 6 out of 5 stars!

Mike will absolutely get you to reach your goals, I’ve never been stronger in my life than when I started working with him and I owe all of my personal record lifts to his coaching and training strategies. I’m getting substantially stronger as the months go by and can’t say enough about the gains you can make with his training methods. Best personal training in the area, no question.

Mike is an amazing trainer, I’ve been training with him for over 5 years and he’s gotten me into the best physical shape of my life! He’s helped me grow mentally and physically, I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants to get in better shape and have fun doing it!

Training with Mike Ruth can seriously change your life. I’ve been training with him for over 2 years and I’ve lost over 40 pounds with his help. I had absolutely no athletic ability prior to training with him and had rarely set foot in a gym previously. He made me feel at home in the gym and introduced me to boxing, which I loved right away. And the people there are really welcoming so it’s easy to make friends. I’ve gotten stronger, thinner, and more confident with Mike’s guidance and I’d encourage anyone trying to lose weight or gain strength to try out a session with him.

Im an older client that began with Mike recently. I was not sure of my age and some physical issues if I would be able to handle this. Mike worked a program that has really helped me. Everything is explained, and he took great interest in knowing my limitations. This has greatly helped me with my PTSD and am made to feel comfortable training. I would emphasize greatly this is the place to begin or keep training. You are not ignored here. I train hard and yet feel great when I finish my training. You work at the pace your ready for. Mike then will excel your pace gradually and you will get STRONGER and get more self-- esteem. I encourage new clients to try it. This is the type of trainer you want.

I’ve been a client of mikes for years. Not only cuz he’s ones of the best fitness and self defense instructors around but because his classes are fun and he builds a personal relationship with all his clients. If you’re looking to train in a fun, welcoming environment, Ruth fitness is the spot!

I went in for a trial session, and it was amazing. Mike and Steph were incredibly encouraging and gave me an intense workout. They gave concrete instructions and demonstrations to ensure my form was correct. I left feeling refreshed and motivated. I am planning to sign on for more sessions in the future.

Mike has really helped to change my life, went from being overweight to being lean and muscular (215 lbs to 185lbs) in the last 6 months. Mike is patient and considerate in how he trains which has helped make the experience at the gym that much better. Cant recommend this place enough

Listen Mike Ruth is the real deal. Stop looking on Instagram and YouTube what this person says your body type needs to work on and what food you can and can’t eat and how much time you should be in the gym. If you want to get healthy and change your life, try Ruth Fitness. I’ve been with Mike for about 4 years now and he’s taught me and pushed me more than I ever thought I could go. Mike helped me break numerous personal records workouts such as deadlifts, pull ups, and benching months before I thought I would reach my goal. Oh and one other thing, if you’re trying to learn boxing or a mixed mma style of fighting, this is you guy. I had never thought of every touching that stuff in my life until Mike convinced me to come by for a class. No one ever really messed with me in life but I’ve always been a skinny kid with not much muscle. After training with Mike he’s changed all that and I’m confident to say it wouldn’t be a good idea to touch me with the stuff he’s taught me. Ever since then I’ve fallen in love with the sport and swear by it as my #1 choice for cardio hands down. This guy is a professional and if you come to him with you goals he’ll make sure they come true.

Five stars isnt enough for this man. Ive been working with mike for the past 3 years and no one has ever deserved five stars more than him. Between the personal training and boxing classes over the years, my strength, endurance, and self confidence has skyrocketed. Mike has also taken the time to help grow a community out of his clients while still managing to give everyone the 1 on 1 time they need. Its unlike anywhere ive ever been and i doubt ill ever find another place like it. I hope to see you down here!

Mike has helped me recover from an extensive reconstructive foot and ankle surgery. When I came into his gym, I was walking with a significant limp and I could barely stand for more than 10 minutes. My foot was in constant pain. Now, not only am I able to walk without limping, but I can move around the boxing ring and deadlift over 200 pounds.
