NO ONE WEARS MASKS. Management, employees and customers. The MA department of health should take a look at this place.Trainers will come up to you and tell not ask you to get off equipment because they have a training session be mindful there are a total of 3 squat racks.

Despite there having been a mask mandate in Somerville since last month, they refuse to enforce it here. Also, they’ve been double charging me for four months and I’ve mentioned it three times, always assured it’s been taken care of. Today I canceled my membership. Also, selection of equipment is not very comprehensive.

Do not join this gym. I signed up for a 30 day free trial and the quality of the gym was poor. Dumbbells only go up to 70 pounds and there are many of them missing. The benches are poor quality and everything is crammed. I called the front desk and they told me I had to cancel the membership by Monday, I came in and cancelled and I was told I had already been charged and that there was nothing they could do. Nothing short of a scam and quick money grab. STAY AWAY!

There are great people at this gym. It’s clean, the personal trainers (e.g. Jerry) are nice, and Kevin, who’s the GM, gave me a great tour of the gym when I started. However, I was promised a 30 day risk free trial, and I was to cancel before 2/13/21. I cancelled on 2/12/21, and was told by the young front desk professional that I was all set. I even asked a second time are you sure I don’t need anything else, and she said no.Fast forward a week later, I looked at my credit card statement and I was charged $79.98. I called in to dispute this charge and Julie, who I believe is another manager at the gym, argued with me to say that I lied about ever cancelling.I am disputing this charge with my credit card, and please beware of shady bookkeeping/trial practices with this gym.This is really unfortunate because I enjoyed my time here, with the only negative being not being able to deadlift because of understandable policies regarding the office work downstairs (the gym is located on the 2nd floor of an office building)

Theres a lot of machines, but this is not an idea gym if youre used to deadlifting. Theres not a lot of space; everything is crammed together.

Ive been going to this gym for over a year now. This gym is super clean and not crowded like other gyms Ive been to in the past. I enjoy the classes they have to offer as well. They have early morning classes and evening ones. You are bound to find one that fits your schedule. Ive been working out with a personal trainer Jenn. She is amazing. She sends me a workout schedule to do on my own. This workout schedule is geared towards me. Ive been working out for over a year with her now. She definitely pushes me and I must say I am so happy with my results. My core is so much stronger and just happy all around. She also helps me stand in correct form. Ive would definitely recommend going to Assembly Sports Club and highly recommend asking for Jenn if you decide to have a personal trainer.

I have been training with Jenn Tracy for a few months and she is the reason why I am a member at Assembly Sports Club. I put on 15 pounds of muscle in my first 10 weeks with her and have improved as an athlete. Jenn has a way of keeping you motivated and engaged, and more importantly, she makes working out fun. I have had multiple trainers over the last 10 years and she is by far the best. I would not even consider training with anyone else!!

Assembly Sports Club is a great gym. From the owners, to the front staff, to the guys cleaning the floor, they all work to make it feel very friendly and welcoming and keep the gym clean and bright. They have a great mix of equipment and weights for everyones ability. There is a good selection of classes and other services to get while you are at the gym. My personal trainer Jenn has helped me reach my goals and her and the other trainers keep me motivated with their words of encouragement all while providing me with workout routines that are challenging and fun. She is very flexible to match me busy schedule and is always checking to make sure I am staying on plan.Not only do I go here but my entire family is members of the gym. I would recommend Assembly Sports Club to anybody.

I work out with personal trainer Jenn and she is fantastic. I was a little worried about the commitment of working with a trainer, but she is extremely flexible with scheduling. She is totally dedicated to getting you the results you are looking for. The workouts are tough and she varies them, so I never plateau with my fitness, I am always seeing and feeling improvements. Jenn will also give you helpful pointers on your form, so you can work out efficiently and not injure yourself. She emails me what workouts I should be doing outside our weekly session, which she designs specifically for me (and every client), and sent me diet guidelines as well. Plus her sense of humor is great so it feels like hanging out and having fun, but really Im getting a killer workout. I have never been in better shape in my life!As for the gym itself, the facilities are good and not too crowded compared to other gyms I have been to. If you get platinum membership, you can also take classes for free and I highly recommend Sharons spin class!

I dont have any complaints about this gym. The staff has always been polite to me and Ive never felt like its too crowded.I train here with Jenn and shes awesome. Shes extremely knowledgeable, and super flexible when it comes to my (usually hectic) schedule. She pushes me to my limits but we have fun as we go so Im always looking forward to the next session. I absolutely recommend asking for her by name if youre looking for a personal trainer.

Clean, courteous, and convenient, this gym has it all. Whether you’re just getting into fitness or a certified gym rat, you’ll find what you need and be able to get a great cardio or weight training workout in here. The staff is polite and always helpful. As a 3 year member, I worked out both on my own and with a trainer. I began working out with Jenn when I hit a tough plateau and and she was able to take me to the next level through a diet, exercise, and supplementation plan at a price that was within budget. She made my goals absolutely attainable and I couldn’t be happier with my results. Thanks Assembly and Jenn!

I have been going to Assembly Sport Club for almost one year. The location is convenient, the space is comfortable, the environment is clean, the staffs here are friendly and nice. The most important thing is my Personal Trainer, Jenn, she is very good, patient, and enthusiastic. If u want to have a Personal trainer here, Jenn will be ur best choice.

Wonderful clean gym. The best part about it is that, its never crowded. Which makes my workout go by faster. The staff is simply amazing. They honestly build a close relationship with their clientele, which you dont find to often.I just pray that they consider putting a sauna portion at least in the ladies bathroom in the close near future. I know its a lot of upkeep but the Sauna would be such a great asset to this gym. I hate going to the YMCA just to pay 5 dollars.

Been a member for a few months now, still loving it. Plenty of weights, space, weight machines & cardio equipment to pick from. Conveniently located at Assembly with plenty of parking.Ive been working with one of the fantastic staff personal trainers, Jenn. She writes personalized workout routines and even helps with nutrition plans... But more importantly she knows how to get you to have a kick-ass workout! Ive hit new goals that I never thought were possible before. Come see her if youre serious about hitting your fitness goals!Five stars, would recommend to friends and family.

Started @ assembly sports club back in September when I moved to Somerville. Out of all the local gyms this one is by far the cleanest and most well kept. The free training session is a nice touch & I ended up signing on for training sessions w/ Jenn Tracy. Ive had many personal trainers in the past & Jenn is the first one where I actually look forward to my sessions. She took the time to craft a workout regiment AND diet that fit my body type & goals. So far so good - major progress! Thank you Assembly Sports Club and thank you JENN!!

Review №33

The costumer service was horrible, I got attitude and a very aggressive tone. I also felt discriminated and its not the first time. When I ask to speak to a manager, the girl told me that the manager wasnt there but the boss was but I couldnt speak to him. When I ask why she said because he doesnt want people to know who he is, making no sense. So at the end I ended up canceling my membership, best decision ever. For anyone interested in going is not worth it, not with that service.

Review №34

Comparing my experience to these other reviews. Ive never had someone on the staff berate me but they do seem aloof at the front counter at times. There are a lot of machines and not much open space because of that. It is clean and I think the loudness of the music has been turned down a bit. Good value for the monthly dues.

Review №35

This place is the best. Friendly staff who are there to assist you and trainers that go above and beyond for their clients. Very clean and well kept, updated equipment, an excellent gym for only $25 a month. Jenn is my personal Trainer/coach and she deserves a 5 star rating as well. Highly reccomend to anybody thinking of getting a trainer from Novices to avid gym rats

Review №36

I have lived in NYC and Boston for most of my adult life and this GYM is literally the best bang for the buck you can get for the quality of classes offered. There isnt a single other place that offers the fitness classes ranging form cardio focused classes includig cycling, zumba to strength training workouts like HIIT, body pump, barre, yoga, etc. for like $35 dollars a month. i have paid on average $65 on other gyms with similar amenities. I travel a lot so wasnt really going to my classes so terminated my membership yesterday after being a member for 3 years and i was surprised at how easy that process was. As long as you cancel by the 10th of the month they wont charge you for next month. Where do you find this kind of service anymore? This GYM deserves all the 5 stars.

I’ve been coming to this gym for over 17 years now and always enjoyed it here. I know most of the staff by name and same goes for the staff with my name. The personal trainers are friendly and knowledgeable and they have a great selection of equipment/drinks and even a cafe across the hall if you get to it in time. Check out Assembly sports Club it’s a great place and im sure they’ll be happy to give you a free tour. Ask for Jerry or Bridget my favorite peeps at the office.

Review №38

Picked up a lot of weight over the last 10 years after a career change that derailed my fitness routine. My hair stylist recently moved from Newbury Street to the salon at the club, which is how I discovered it and realized how clean, well run, and super conveniently located it is. But it was meeting Jenn that cinched the deal. She keeps me motivated and provides firm but caring guidance. Jenn has helped me shed pounds, and more importantly add muscle in places I never adequately addressed previously. Kudos to Jenn and Assembly Sports Club.

Review №40

For $35/mo, its really great. All the equipment is new and has most of the things you would need. Plus, theres few people there, free parking, and its sparkling clean. The color scheme is pretty uggos though (bright green and blue) but that doesnt really matter. I saw reviews complaining about customer service, but they were nice from the limited interaction I had at the front desk. She wasnt all chip chip chiparoo, but in no way was she rude.Actual Cons: Theres no traditional squat rack or a lot of space to do free form things, so if youre a power lifter, cross fitter, etc. it is not the gym for you. The shape of the building is a little odd so the placement of the equipment is spread out, making it a bit difficult to find what you want.Tip: They have a 30 day free trial. Also, if you become a member, you can bring someone in for free everytime.TLDR: Good bang for your buck. Clean. New equipment. Not for cross fitters, power lifters, or class pass users.

I guess for a $20 / month gym, Im not looking for or expecting a full suite of concierge services or a personal staff member to bring me water and towels every 10 minutes. As long as the membership computer recognized my card (it did) and the equipment was in working order (it was), then I was all set. I have since left for other personal reasons, but I was extremely satisfied with ASC from the day I joined to the day I cancelled.

This gym is always so clean and seems brand new! The price is extremely reasonable, especially because it includes classes and tanning.

Review №44

I have been going to Assembly for three months now and I have been working out with the trainer Jenn. I really like coming to ASC as the gym is clean, they have a friendly staff and I never have to wait even when it is busy as there are lots of free weights, weight machines and cardio equipment. My results have been great. I am really tired after each session but the workouts are fun and Jenn does a great job encouraging me and making things interesting. Each session we do new exercises and she has even sent me extra ones to do when I can’t get in to see her. She also is very flexible with her schedule and is able to meet with me after work which is pretty late. I am not focusing solely on the number on the scale but building muscle, getting stronger, and being healthier overall. I know with Jenn’s help I will be successful in reaching my goals.

After going to this gym for 2 years and loving my experience, I have to speak out about the management of their memberships. I cancelled my membership in person in April this year and still received charges for two mo ths afterwards. I had to follow up with them numerous times and it ultimately took them months to respond to my issue because they lost my membership termination form. I will keep getting charged until I go back in person to cancel a second time- lets hope they dont lose the form again!

Review №47

I avoided the gym for my entire life, just resigned to the fact that I was always going to be super skinny and theres nothing I could do about it. But at my lowest, I decided to finally make a change in my life and join Assembly Sports Club.It was the exact kick-in-the-ass I needed. Ive gained 15 pounds and a ton of confidence in the 4-5 months Ive been there. Its a great atmosphere there, everyone is friendly and theres a ton of equipment so you dont feel too crowded or have to wait for what you need.Shout-out out my trainer Jennifer Tracy, who has guided me the entire way. I came into this place at 132 pounds, completely clueless and lacking confidence -- and Ive gained the weight, feel so much better about myself and shes taught me a ton about lifting, training, nutrition and discipline. Cant wait to gain another 15 pounds!

BUYER BEWARE!! This gym is a terrible experience! The weights are crammed into a small area, there is often a wait for the equipment, the staff seems aloof and does not monitor whats going on half of the time!There are several gyms in the area with better pricing and far superior facilities.

I’ve been working out at ASC for about a year now and have had nothing but positive experiences. The price of membership can’t be beat and the staff has always been friendly and helpful. I also train with Jenn who is extremely knowledgeable, very outgoing and highly committed/dedicated to her clients. She really cares about the people she works with and does everything she can to make sure they reach their fitness goals.The biggest downside is that there are not a lot of free weights and the space is crowded in the afternoon but that is to be expected with any gym. Besides, you can definitely get creative with what’s available and still get a great workout. Overall, I definitely recommend Assembly Sports Club!

Review №57

My wife and I have been going here for about a month. We selected it because it is close by, and it has some elliptical trainers; it does not take a lot to make us happy. And we were, for a little while. despite the fact that the gym doesnt have a lot of equipment for serious trainers (if you dont go for cardio or machine circuit training, dont even bother), and despite the constant loud, bad music (much louder than in other gyms Ive been to, weirdly), the bottom line was, hey were getting a workout, its close by and who cares - for the fairly low price of 50 bucks, we can be happy about it.And then I started eating garlic.Now, I realize that the sulfurous compounds in garlic react in the blood, releasing H2S gas and that this is unpleasant for some people. And this would be fine, except for the way that one of their employees has been dealing with it. On two occasions now, the same employee (who I believe is new?) has come up to me and started to tell me she thought i stank. Then, about 15 seconds in, as I listen politely to her position, she begins to turn to my wife and publicly scream at HER for stinking.My wife doesnt stink- *I* and I alone ate the garlic. Now, the first time I thought she was mildly crazy so I didnt think about it, and I didnt change my behavior. But the second time, she stood up in front of the front counter and scolded my wife for five minutes about HER body odor, exactly as before, having walked by visibly sniffing ME, and in the beginning, (for about 15 seconds) talking to ME about MY odor. This happened right in front of the management and a number of counter employees by the massage chairs, so I can only conclude now that, even though she is new, this attitude reflects on the management and staff of the facility.I decided, you know, I should probably stop eating Garlic then. But when I walked out of the facility, I discovered that my poor wifes feelings had been seriously hurt (which seems obvious now, of course). Despite the gyms other problems, I wouldnt have given them a BAD review, but the fact that the management and staff stood by while this weird, creepy old lady bullied my wife on their apparent authority (she mentioned that the owner, who was behind the counter I believe, had asked her to say something) is just terrible, in my opinion.

This gym is the worst. I have been a member for almost two years, and paid extra for just going the the classes. During this time we sometimes waited for some instructors up to 10-15 min. Several times the class was canceled and we didn’t even got any heads up. I never complained about this but today they didn’t let me in after I scan my card at 7:30 pm. They said that the class was already closed. I could see the instructor giving the instructions. The staff is really umpleasant and unpolite. Stay away, plenty of gyms in the area. Equipment is also outdated and for some of the threadmills the tvs don’t even work.

I would give 0 stars if it’s possible. The front desk lady was very rude .She assumed that I couldn’t speak English, and didn’t listen to a single thing I said. There was a sign outside that said “$24.99 per month with no commitment”, and when I asked for further elaboration on the sign, she didn’t listen to me and showed inappropriate body language towards me. I was very offended by the way she spoke and acted towards me.

Awful gym.They took over for Planet Fitness, doubled the price, changed the paint, and brought a bad attitude. Getting out of my contract was no picnic either. Good lawyers, bad gym operators.Now there is a 24 hour Planet Fitness about a mile away in Medford for $10 per month, that is much bigger, with brand new equipment, you never wait fora cardio machine, and the people are much better.Boston Sports Club, and Golds are a mile away, so you can find a much better gym for $10 a month to $60 a month, depending on your needs.Dont sign a long term deal with this place. They probably wontt last.
