WOW Medford actually could be a great gym, but unfortunately the floor itself just isn’t level… Even after they tried fixing it. Bench pressing, or running on the treadmill while lopsided is not okay. Shame, because it actually is a nice facility for the price.

I had some financial issues to take care of. Sam was very knowledgeable and professional. His explanations were very clear. Andrew was also really professional. Great visit!

WEEKEND (COVID) HOURS: 🚨🚨🚨🚨Please be aware that the “check-in” hours actually expire 30 minutes prior to the time listed online.The gym closes to walk-in members at 4:30 on Saturday and 3:30 on Sunday.Hopefully this helps anyone else who makes the trip, hoping to get in a quick last minute workout! Leave earlier, they will not let you in! Absolutely nothing more frustrating than getting all the way there and then not being able to get in your workout!

I am very disappointed that I received a bill even though I did not use the gym during lockdown. Being a trainee at academic institute this extra amount of money is a huge economic burden during a pandemic!I have been thinking to write a review about poor quality of this gym since a while. Together this triggered me to write this review.I think it is the time to cancel my future appointments at this gym! I was trying to cancel my account last year and it is really perplexing puzzle to cancel. I have to call a 3rd party source to cancel and I never get any response. Why is cancelling so difficult? Why not a simple phone call or email or fax or personal cancellation exist? Why should I invest my time on this long cancellation process?

Updated review- They are no longer taking action in trying to get the money they say that I owed them. This the original review with some editing: I moved from Somerville in 2017. I remember going to WOW with a letter to cancel my membership. So 3 years later I get a bill for $163.45. The person told me that I have been probably paying it all along. I haven’t been. Of course they don’t have a record of that I canceled. Even though they dropped that case, I still doubt their competence and trustworthiness. I don’t recommend using this company. However, they did redeem themselves. I would never join a WOW gym again because or this. The idea that a gym can try to get money after 3 years is very concerning.

Not too crowded today with those college students from Tufts University. Im assuming the Tufts gym is open again.

Good facility, great staff .. it’s not Bougie at all with old equipment but still it’s very clean much.. more so than BSC. The only shortcomings is the lack of space to stretch and or to have a good core workout.. the office area could be reconfigured to accommodate that but maybe it isn’t within their business model..

I have been trying to cancel my membership for 6 months. I finally got someone to return an email this morning and I am now being told that I have to pay my yearly membership fee before they will cancel because the email that was responded to was 1 day after the cutoff for having to paying it. The people I talked to at both the medford location and the financial company were entirely unhelpful and implied that I should have known how to get them to respond sooner.By the time I actually get the cancelation through I will have paid them over $250 since I first requested to cancel.Long story short, just stay away.

I came into town for two days and was looking for a good gym. I was told to come to Workout World Medford, because they had great equipment and even better staff. I am happy to say that the review was correct! I got here and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating! They explained what the gym provided and graciously showed me around. Once I got into the gym, there was great vibe and everything I needed to get a good workout in! If I lived here, I would 100% be a member! If I could give 10 Stars I would. Thank you very much to the Staff I TRULY appreciate you all!

I also had a terrible experience being charged when my account was supposed to be paused due to covid. Just like any other gym they will charge you on extra time after you cancel and make sure to get that last amount from you. Really disappointed.

I have been a member of WOW in Medford for years now and it is a great gym. My friends and I take the fitness classes and instructors here are great (Joanne, Bethany, Kara, Meghan, Mel...). The aerobic room is large and there is always plenty of equipment such as weights which most gyms are lacking. And the manager Robert is wonderful - the BEST this place has ever had! Always available and very attentive to your needs - like when we are all sweating and need more AC! Cannot beat WOW for $20. a month!

Wow in Medford is hands down the best gym in the state. Even when I dont feel like working out. Wow in Medford brings me so much energy. Starting from the great employees at the front desk. To the music they play. From all the other members just trying to better themselves. Its an amazing atmosphere. No matter what age shape or size you are, everyone shows so much respect to each other . Its like home for me.

I have been a member of the Medford WOW for many years. To start the manager Robert is awesome and is definitely the best manager Ive ever seen there. Robert greets you with a smile, says hello to everyone and is always willing to listen to your needs!My friends and I take classes only. The instructors, Joanne, Mel, Cara and Bethany are phenomenal! These teachers are dedicated and are definitely an asset to this gym. You get a great workout while still having fun!The front desk people are great too! They work hard in trying to make everyone coming in happy and satisfied.I have been to other gyms also and this is by far the best gym ever.Maria

I cant say enough about WOW in Medford! First off I love the staff, they are so friendly and welcoming, especially the manager Robert who makes me smile everytime I walk in. Bethanys classes are the best classes Ive ever been to, she is honestly #1 for me! Youll never have a boring class with her and you definitely get a quality work out done. I like how the gym is always neat and clean and the location is super convenient.The biggest advantage is that its so affordable!! I definitely recommend comingto this awesome gym!!!

Gym has been dirty the last two times I went. I also asked them not to charge my $50.00 sign on fee because I wanted to cancel my account but they charged it anyway. The lady at the front desk assured me I could contact corporate to ask a few questions before I would be charged but she lied!

Wow, I just wanted to thank the manager Robert for been so kind and caring and also believing in his job because it takes a hard working person to be in that special position like him. Last year I was about to change this gym to a closer one around my house in Cambridge but he instead convinced me that this gym is good and to stick around. He was right because Iam in love with this gym now and I recommend anyone out there to really try it.You will feel like family and always will see same people around that really enjoys this gym also. Blessings to all crew in this gym. Special thanks goes out to Robert. Good job❤️🙏🙏

This is a great gym where everyone is welcome. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I have been a member for over 10 years and it has never been cleaner or better equipped. Robert the manager has really created a neighborhood gym for all vibe. If you need a gym, check this place out and youll need to look no further. Definitely 5 stars!

This is a large facility with plenty of space and equipment as well as ample parking...but the staff is what sets it apart. They are always friendly & helpful. Sarah has gone out of her way more than once to help me adjust a machine or answer my questions and always seems genuinely authentic in wanting to assist members. Five stars!

This gym has come a long way for being in a basement! Robert the manager has done a fabulous job which I notice. At one time I was doing sales and being assistant manager.. and I look at the workers now so different more professional. To get up early and to walk into a gym of all places and your greeting just makes the start of your day... WELL DONE MEFA!!!

This work out world is great! When I first came in, I was greeted by Elena at the front desk and she was very nice and did a wonderful job in guiding me through signing up for a membership. They have a wide variety of equipment and everything is kept clean and nice! I would recommend to anybody in the area looking for a place to go to workout!

I lost 60 lbs here. The WOW Medford is a clean, secure, and supportive workout environment. They have great Group Exercise classes, unlimited vehicle parking, great Cardio machines, and Free Weights. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The regulars at this gym are both respectful, and inspirational. Its a positive place for a effective transformation.

Began coming here a few months ago after I got a different job. The gym is a bit hidden but its worth the find. Doesnt get too crowded during rush hour and it has everything you need. The Front desk staff is super friendly and are always willing to answer any questions! Might be the best WOW I have been to in New England.

Review №43

Ive been a member of WOW for almost a year & I just want to say what an amazing place it is here in Medford, I live in Lynn and when I say that the first thing people ask me is why I go so out of my way, and for me its a simple answer, I feel comfortable and welcome every single time I come and not mention I can see how much work and effort is put in to maintain a clean environment, I originally started off in Peabody but as a last resort we tried WOW here in Medford & I found something special and so did my 3 year old ( who was partial the reason why Peabody did not work for us ) he would not stay at the child services which is something Ive struggled with for a long time & imagine my surprise not only does he STAY but he loves all his care tackers, knows them by name and asks me everyday that he wants to go the gym to play with his friends . So needless to say Ive switched over and I realized I found what Ive been looking for, not only do I have a place to de-stress at the end of my day but I dont have to worry about my son while Im doing it, and that to me makes it every bit worth it for me to go outta my way to come specifically to here in Medford. As a mother and a member its awesome!!

Review №45

Its cheap, has barbells, and is 24 hours. Thats all I really need. Could be better if they had a better deadlifting area, and more squat racks. However when I go at night, I never have a problem jumping right in to a squat rack. Kettlebells are only available for group classes, which is a big bummer.

Worst gym Ive been to. Crowded with machines which are old and inscrutable, yet the only stretching area is a tiny corner big enough for 2 people. Dirty, sinks were disconnected, no hand soap. Its like a dungeon. Makes Golds Gym in Arlington look like paradise by comparison.

Its a great gym. Ive been going here for a good 4 months now and I can honestly say a day hasnt gone by where the staff hasnt greeted me at the front desk, which shows that they care. The equipment is also good and everything is usually in order. To me weights are weights so if the staff is nice and they care about the people then its definitely a 5 star gym which this is.

Review №74

After reading all the reviews, I thought WOW would be awful. After going there for a few months, I think people have expectations that do not match the price they are paying for this gym.I wanted a place that offered group classes and cardio equipment. WOW does both and for a low price of ~$20 a month, plus a small annual fee. The classes are great. In the cardio area, I can always find a treadmill, bike, or elliptical. Ive never had to wait (an issue at my last gym). The machines work well and are always clean.As for cons: it does smell (like sweat, which happens in a gym), the weights arent that great (I do worry about safety since many have rust on them), and the bathrooms really need an update (I wear flip flops...). Id be willing to spend $30 or $40 a month if it meant the weights were updated and the bathroom could be less gross.For the price, WOW is definitely worth it.

Been going since March of this year, and let me tell you, you get what you pay for. $10 a month for a membership is unheard of in this area, and it has everything you need in a gym. Nothing more though. Only big complaint is the lack of hot water in all four of the Mens bathroom faucets. Might need that for effective washing, but hey, they have soap! Usually.

Not a reliable place for Yoga. They don’t ensure that there is always a teacher, so if the teacher is sick, goes on vacation, or has an off day, WOW sits there on their hands and does nothing. The schedule is often weeks behind when a teacher leaves or changes the time of the class. The website is useless for keeping informed

Dont be fooled the price is really not $10 a month cause u get hit with an annual fee dont be mislead.

Pretty ridiculous that they cant just cancel the membership at the club. Youll have to call, sign up for logins at third party websites, manually send in cancellation notices via email, pay extra fees. Its all meant to be so annoying that you get frustrated and forget the 10 dollar recurring charge
