Located in a convenient area. Decent equipment. Only issue for me was a lack of plate weights by the racks. Only about 400lbs for 3 racks.

BEWARE unauthorized charges if you freeze a personal training subscription. Even if you dont resume personal training they will just start charging you and refuse to refund it. I canceled my normal membership as well since I cant in good conscience support a place doing scummy stuff like this.

Very conveniently located fitness center in the middle of Davis Square.It can get crowded at times, but if you avoid peak times it can be a great space to workout!

The place is always clean, the staff is always friendly, and it’s super convenient to get to. Some of the equipment is a little sparse but it’s not a huge location so that makes sense.

The equipment and space is nice but it’s extremely hot inside and unpleasant. Staff not entirely friendly to me either

Plenty of squat racks, several benches, two cable machine setups, a turf area, several different rooms and areas to train in. They have decent trainers and their equipment is relatively new and in pretty good shape.If youre the type that doesnt need a lot of guidance and is just looking for somewhere that has the equipment you need, its a good choice.

I just recently joined this gym since i recently moved to the area. To say i was impressed is an under statement. They have went above and beyond to make sure this a safe work our space! They have sanitizing wipes & Purell everywhere! They take their Covid protections very seriously and made me feel protected. Their gym is immaculate! Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to work off their quarantine 15 : )

The space is nice, decent equipment, friendly trainers but prepare to be fleeced.

Trainers are friendly and nice, well the ones that were once there (they have all left) New manager is super unfriendly and rude!! Corporate is horrible too to deal with. Get that cancelation confirmation in writing they will keep charging you even after you request a cancelation in person. Also for a place that has so much office space why does the neon dressed trainer use the stairs as his office, camp, and storage area?

During a recent cold morning, i recently decided to get ahead of my news years resolutions a make the commitment to lose this covid weight that i unfortunately gained. Walking into the gym, i was instantly welcomed by a Sam from the front desk. I was amazed about the effort the gym staff put in with their holiday decorations. There was lights everywhere and they even had a tree! All the equipment was very spread out and everyone wore masks at all times. The gym was not crowded at all which was great. Since joining, i have already got in a good routine, lost 3 lbs, and regained some lost confidence : ) Would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to change their life in a positive way!

I have been trying for 2 1/2 years to get off the call list for BSC. I was in for training with a team 2x. But never had a membership. I live in CONNECTICUT. My address is CT and phone number. I respect the tenacity for trying to build membership up especially after Covid shut down, but I’m a GM of another boutique studio in CT and understand when someone asks to be taken off a call list, we take them off.I spoke with Jake all but a few weeks ago to have all of my contact information removed yet I still keep getting calls and texts. I’d never treat any of my trials like this...Don’t bother ever going in for a trial, you’ll be harassed forever!

This gym was extremely well run prior to COVID (new turf, improved layout, re-upholstered machines), and they have been very impressive after re-opening. Everything is remarkably clean and a lot of thought clearly went into re-doing the gym layout to promote social distancing without needing to eliminate a ton of equipment. Ive tried out quite a few gyms over the last month or two, and this is easily the best and safest Ive felt at any of them. Staff are friendly, professional, and helpful. Very glad this gym is finally back!

Ive been going to the Davis Square location for over 3 years and have to say, it can be great at times, but then you get reminded of how poorly the club is managed and wonder why you pay so much for so little.Today (01/29/2020) the Davis locaiton did not open untill after 6:30AM (posted hours are 5:30AM). I can appreciate the moring opener had an emergency but the fact that the GM does not have more than 1 employee open the gym every morning, and there is no alternate in the event of illness/emergency is astounding. Add to the fact that after calling all the other gyms in Boston (who dont have the GMs contact info), another employee got to Davis before the GM, and this is at 6:30AM!I pay $70/month (just so you know, they increase your rate every year by $5.00) and standing outside in 32* temps for an hour does not seem to be $70/month quality.Id like to report that this is a one-off but this location has a history of poor quality, from messy locker rooms (see pictures) to the gym being closed while being an absolute mess. Again - I dont think $70/month quality involves spending my first 20 mins re-racking weights and clearing the space of empty water bottles and used towels from the night before.Ive tried multiple times to bring this up and the buck gets passed along - I highly recomend looking anywhere else if you can, this location alone is the only reason I still go but have started looking at alternates closer to work. If you are deciding between BSC and another gym, choose the other and save your money.

New to the area and wanted to check out the surrounding gyms to join. Explored Planet Fitness and Assembly row and neither of them could compare to BSC Davis. BSC Davis takes Covid very seriously and goes above and beyond to make sure safety is their priority! ( Planet Fitness and Assembly didnt even require masks!) BSC is strict and is very well ran because of that. They even offered me a free personal training session when i signed up! Would recommend this gym to everyone i know! This year is going to be the year change happens!

They have been constantly harassing me to sign back up after they screwed me and everyone during COVID time. Their solicitation attempts at this point are borderline predatory. Calling me on private numbers, leaving voicemails and they recently started emails after I called to ask them to stop calling. This isnt a fault of the Davis square BSC but an issue with BSC in general

I have been going here for a few years and always loved all of the trainers in the classes. However, with a pandemic going on I put my membership on freeze. I was shocked to start being charged again in October, without restarting my membership. Andrew Zappala told me that because he said See you when the club reopens! at the end of his email to freeze my account that was enough for them to start recharging my account months after they had reopened without any notice. How can someone genuinely think that is a valid confirmation of a restart date? Also why wasnt I notified that my account would be unfrozen and charged the day the club reopened if that was actually a valid statement?I then sent in a written letter to cancel my membership, and was told I had a $10 cancel fee, which i provided a card for, and that there was a 45 day wait period. What is not clearly explained is the cancel fee is actually $10, AND TWO MONTHS DUES, because of the 45 day period where you can happily still enjoy the services why would I want to use something 45 days after I sent in a written letter to cancel it? Why would any of this not be clearly stated? Also how can the management genuinely think that continuing to charge people after they asked to cancel is the right thing to do? Especially in a global pandemic, where not everyone wants to go work out indoors with other people and risk their health. Because this place is shady, and doesnt want that to be clear. So they create convoluted contracts.In conclusion, if you dont mind getting screwed over, go for the trainers because theyre awesome and deserve to work in a better gym that treats everyone better than this company and its henchmen do currently.

A shady and unethical business. They have been charging me (and many other people) monthly and annual fees totalling well over $100 at a time when the gym has been closed for months.After youve opened a membership, good luck closing it. You cannot close it over the phone, you cannot close it online, you cannot close it via email. No, you have to go in person or send a certified (!) letter. Then they charge you a $10 cancellation fee. Unethical and illegal, but they dont care. The Attorney General is going after BSC for these exact reasons. Buyer beware.

Returning to a gym during a scary idea to me. I then got the courage to check out this club to see what they were doing to keep it COVID safe. The sales guy (Paul) made me feel very comfortable and explained all they were doing to keep their members safe, which was reassuring.Been going here for a few weeks now and havent had any problems with others wearing a mask. Definitely am happy to see all they are doing to stop the spread in the gym.Staff has also been friendly and helped me adjust to working out during these times.

The membership packages offered are affordable and easy to manage, the team is great and will answer any/all questions presented, the facility is clean and in great shape, the turf upstairs was just replaced brand new literally weeks before the shut down and the strides taken to improve the facility both pre and post shutdown are so awesome. Sam at the front desk is ALSO awesome.

Now that Somerville has finally been allowed to open their fitness centers I can go back to the gym! Pumped to be back in action. The management team over there have been awesome returning emails over the past months and dealing with auto-pay/refund issues. This place used to be a pit and the team over there [specifically Paul P. and Kendall] have come leaps and bounds to get the place fixed up. New machines are coming in all the time, right before COVID shutdowns theyd replaced the turf on the third floor and its always so nice and clean when I walk in. Even during peak hours both pre and post shutdown. So happy to be back!

Amazing variety of equipment, very spacious, natural lighting, good amenities, kind staff

So surprised when I went in to talk to manager. Plenty of spacing between machine, super clean, and easy to talk to manager about billing of April. I felt safe and was happy with their plan to reimburse my money. Well done!

Scam gym, and scam manager.Called to cancel two month ago, they told me it’s free to freeze the account, so I freeze it for another two month. Call again to cancel due to this lock down situation. this guy who claim himself a manger told me I own them $30 to close the account because I freeze it??? I asked if I can speak to someone higher or whoever freeze my account, this guy told me he is the highest person in the company I can speak to?!! Refuse to let me speak to anyone and hang up on me rudely.What a scam company and employee!Lying about charges. I’ll file a claim to the state court for sure. Looking at the reviews I’m not the only one has this experience.

Dirty, badly maintained gym with basically zero classes, which closed without noticed indefinitely during COVID, was entirely unavailable to be reached by phone or email to cancel membership during that time, and then re-opened and started charging people again, again without any opportunity to cancel despite the unique circumstances.This place is a complete scam.Edit: Despite the response below, BSC did not do anything to help, and merely wasted my time by sending me in an email loop that got the exact same response.

So happy they reopened last week! I feel very comfortable and safe getting back into working out at the gym. Would definitely recommend checking them out!

Their front desk staff is extremely incompetent. Bought a day pass and they required me to leave my driver’s license at the front desk, which they left on top of the counter instead of in a drawer and it was stolen. Go work out anywhere else but here.

WARNING! Dont sign a membership agreement with this duplicitous gym. You must cancel by certified mail or in person with the manager, pay for the next two months dues, and pay a ten dollar cancellation fee. This location has the customer service of a check cashing joint. Try to email or call during a pandemic to cancel your membership while your gym is closed? Shove off.

Only two options to cancel a membership I didn’t even know was still active are to come into the gym, in person, or to send a letter. In a pandemic. No online cancellation. Join at your own risk (literally)

I was a previous member with the club in 2018 - 2019. I enjoyed my membership then but was put off from previous management experiences. I really lost myself during this covid shut down and have been weighing the odds of rejoining the gym. I had my concerns as i am in my 60s and am considered high risk.I decided to walk in again as i was in the square anyways and boy was i happy i did. I was immediately greeted by the current GM Paul. He dropped everything he was doing to personally give me a tour of the club and show me all the covid changes and club improvements. I was beyond happy to see everything in person and immediately made a commitment to come back and work out. I would highly this club to anyone that has had bad experiences in the past or were looking to test out the waters going forward.

Trust the reviews. This gym seems fine until you actually need to reach out to customer service. Ive been a member for nearly a decade and still got the runaround when trying to cancel my membership during a pandemic. Asking people to either physically come to the gym during a pandemic or pay to send certified mail to cancel is insane. Theres absolutely no reason for them to accept a cancellation request via physical mail but not email, except for their own predatory practices. They will milk as much money out of you as they can. There is a good reason the state Attorney General had to get involved. Pick another gym, its not worth it.

I was a previous member and recently joined back up because I heard there was a lot of new equipment, new paint, and new management. I have to say that this place is 20x better than when I was a member in 2018. Gym is clean, new equipment, and everyone is so much friendlier! The training staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I may actually start training now as I got a lot out of my complimentary session! Glad to be back!

I absolutely LOVE working out here! It is a hop, skip and a jump to the red line and the staff is so friendly. After a month in, I did a complimentary session with the FM Megan and decided to buy training! She was so personable and helped pair me with my current trainer! The price is a great value for the service and equipment! I hear more upgrades are coming soon!

I went to the central square location for the longest time. Its closed and I had to cancel so I went here. I actually had it cancelled by the manager at this location with no hassle!

SHADY and GREEDY. I’ve had memberships with three different fitness center companies, and BSC is the worst experience I’ve ever had. I called and tried to contact them in March to cancel/postpone our membership due to the pandemic, was still charged for April [they were closed]. When the gyms re-opened, I went in person and asked them to cancel our membership. They cancelled mine, but left on my add-on, Marissa, and continued to charge me for Oct, Nov, Dec. I called again today and they refused to refund me the money even though I asked them to cancel it months ago AND we haven’t used their facility since pre-pandemic. We don’t even live in Somerville anymore. I do NOT recommend. Worst experience.

Just recently joined this club and it is amazing!!! I have been getting the best workouts of my life, and for the first time actually enjoy going to the gym! I am happy that i didnt listen to these past reviews and based my experience on my own opinions. Since my short time at the gym, they have gotten new equipment left and right, and is rumored to even be expanding the turf in the very near future!!! I would highly recommend joining this gym and bringing all of your friends too! I recently referred my roomates and got rewarded for doing that too! Starting 2020 off right!

This gym is amazing! The equipment is great! Very spacious facility. Such a clean gym. The staff there are really good people. Very friendly. Warm greetings every time I walk in and leave; its a great environment ! I have been member for last 10 Years and love this GYM everyday .

Was a previous member (2018 - early 2019) - and had an ok experience and canceled my membership. Since I cancelled I unfortunately gave up on all my goals and lost all progress that I ever made. I was walking through the square and decided to check out the gym again and I was very happy that I did! This place has done a complete changeover. Place is nicely painted, brand new turf, new equipment, and due to the Covid capacity limits I never had to wait for any equipment! I was bit hesitant to restart my fitness journey during times like these, but honestly the amount of cleaning, and protections BSC Davis has done really makes me feel comfortable. I would highly recommend this gym to all my friends ( I even brought my S.O. with me to partner up on out workouts together!) Cant wait to see my progress soon!

Notorious for charging customers money. It happens not only to me but also to many of Bostonians people I know. I cancelled the gym a long time ago and found out that the gym kept charging numerous ( it accumulated to more than half thousand) amount without me knowing. I had to call my bank to get them unauthorized/blocked. I had to dispute the charges through my bank, because the gym wouldnt resolve it without me putting down my bank card (and of course I refused give bsc my bank info again, wont fall in the same trap twice). I was just chatting with friends and surprisingly some have exact same experience! Hope Boston has authority or Customer Service department to stop their continuous scam! ( So that less people will get hurt from the scheme)

The gym itself it not too bad- a good number of aerobic machines, clean equipment. I wouldnt call the locker rooms nice/clean, however. Additionally, the cancellation policy is astounding- take a look before you sign your contract.

Ive tried to cancel my membership 4 times and it never works. I think Ill have to tell my bank to ban them. Ive gone in person like the contract stipulates. Nada.

Just recently moved to the area and wanted to test out the surrounding gyms. Tried out WOW (dirty) first, Planet fitness (no masks are worn and dirty) second, and BSC - Davis third (cleanest by far, and has strict covid protocols). BSC was very impressive from the start. Was greeted immediately and was given a tour by amazing Paul Cahill! He explained all about the club in depth and was even given a free personal training session! Feels like a real community based gym (they even decorated for halloween!) and i have now finally got back into a good routine. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone!

I absolutely love this gym, not too crowded during peak hours and the staff is really friendly. My first time going to a Boston Sports Club and I personally love how comfortable the space is. Pretty spacious and lots of equipment with knowledgeable staff to help out when I had questions.

Currently emailing back and forth with a “manager” about them charging me through the pandemic when I cancelled in March. They claim they have no paper trail....no kidding, you have high schoolers working the front desk who told me I was “all set.” Poor business, awful customer service, and taking advantage of people during these times. So thankful I’m talking to a contract lawyer to deal with them because if I have to call them one more time and get the run around of “oh...the managers are ALL in a meeting right now, what unlucky timing,” I’m going to lose it. Not worth your time or money - go to literally any other gym.

Don’t go there! I subscribed by the end of December 2019. I was eager to try a gym club here with the New Years resolution... when I subscribed I went in contact with Megan and we tried to schedule an appointment for my first complimentary session but they never had someone available. I asked several times, it lasted a month, then I lost the envy to go there regarding how difficult it was to schedule my first session so I asked to cancel my membership to the same Megan and she said I had to come to the gym which was not convenient for me. I finally found the time when she told me to come before 5pm because her manager Paul was living after that. So I met Paul who wasn’t understanding at all and didn’t care. I’ve been subscribed since the end of December, they charged for January and February even though I said several times that I wanted to cancel my subscription and now I’m just learning that I have to pay fees for the cancellation and that my subscription will be running for 45 days still and that I will pay next month...It’s a joke!!! Never saw that !! I’ve never been there!It’s not how you treat your clients

What a great club! This sport club is one of my best experiences in the state. The manager Schuyler, the trainers and all the people are amazing in there. They also keep improving the equipments and keep them clean all the time. They are very helpful, friendly and polite people. I love my gym club! Thank you all!

TSI/BSC handled closing due to Covid terribly, and I remain unimpressed with their reopening. They claimed that all members got emails about the reopening plan, credits due from the closing, and future billing, both from the Davis branch and from TSI. I didnt receive any of that communication, and was still awaiting word on what their plan was. Much to my surprise, I have a pending charge from BSC for my September dues, most of which had been covered by the credit I should have received from their closing in March. Despite there still being a global pandemic, they havent updated their cancellation policy of needing to cancel in person or write a certified letter that then takes 45 days to process.TSI continues to show how little they care about customers or working with you when they are in error.EDIT: For what its worth - apparently the reason I didnt receive any emails was because I had opted out of marketing emails months ago. Which is honestly just such a poor implementation, that if you opt out of marketing emails you dont receive any other informational emails ever.When I was on the phone with a rep from the gym initially, I was assured I wouldnt have any additional fees upon cancellation and that it would just be zeroed out. A minute after walking out of the gym having cancelled, I get a receipt for a $10 cancellation charge. TSI/BSC is truly the worst company Ive interacted with in the duration of Covid.EDIT 2: Unsurprisingly, following up via email got me nowhere and was just routed back to the people I had spoken to in the first place. The real kicker is I cancelled my membership on the 25th/26th... and then got charged for the month of October 5 days later. Class act BSC.EDIT 3: THEY JUST FREAKING CHARGED ME AGAIN ON A RANDOM DATE, A MONTH AFTER I CANCELLED. Maybe a lawsuit is what it would take to end this level of incompetence and malicious intent. Infuriating.

If i could rate this gym 10 stars i would! This club has been life changing for me. The non judgemental community feel has definitely made me great about my experience. I am a newbie to the gym world and have gave up on every one of my past gym memberships due to the lack of knowledge and confidence. Not only did their very knowledgeable staff team start my membership in the right direction by showing me the ropes of fitness. They also made me feel empowered to come daily and I am now happy to say i am starting to see results for the first time! I would highly recommend joining asap!

As everyone came to see clearly during their Covid response, BSC is a scam of a company. After freezing my account during the months that the Davis Square location was closed due to the pandemic, they recently reopened and started charging everyone again, even though my account was frozen. I called them to ask why my account was unfrozen and they said because the location had reopened. Not letting you cancel via the phone, I went in to cancel in person. While waiting for the manager to cancel my membership over a period of about 10 minutes, there were 5-6 people who came into the gym. Each one tried to use the temperature reader attached to the wall, but it didnt work for any of them, however they were eventually waved in, regardless of their temperature. No hand sanitizer anywhere in the lobby or exit. They couldnt keep paper towels stocked in the bathroom pre-pandemic, so Im sure its a petrie dish. Theyre strictly open again to take advantage of their horrible policies, theyre not interested in keeping anyone safe. But this isnt surprising from a company that was charging people months into a pandemic, until the state attorney general had to intervene. Got an email this morning that theyre filing for bankruptcy. I hope they go out of business and get replaced by a gym that has some semblance of a conscious.

I liked this gym until I went to the location 3 times to cancel and no one was there. I called, went again and after weeks someone called me back. Im still getting charged and now have had to speak to about 7 different people to do something as simple as cancel a membership. All I cancelled for was because my currently building has a gym. Davis Square was kind of small compared to other locations, but was fine as an everyday gym. Be aware you could be charged for months (even with the 45 day fee) unless you have in writing trying to cancel the membership.

This location was closed on 8/19/21

Great convenient location, clean, good equipment, great staff, and some of the best classes Ive taken at a gym! Dont get why this gym has such terrible reviews but Ive been going here quite sometime and have never had an issue. Paul, one of the staff members has always been knowledgeable and helpful in every way possible.

Gym is very clean. Managers Paul and Kendall provide great customer service and Ive never felt safer at a gym!

Let me preface by saying I never leave reviews of places and am generally easy going and understanding that mistakes happen. Unfortunately have to echo many of the bad reviews on here regarding customer service. I’ve been going there for approximately three years now and had no complaints. It’s always clean and the trainers are all friendly. However I was hit by a car back in early July and called to freeze my account as I needed surgery with an estimated six month recovery time. I was told it’s typically a monthly charge to freeze the account, but because it’s an injury, the fee would be waived. A month later I got a $15 charge, so I call and they tell me it’s a one time charge for freezing the account. Now a month later, I got charged another $15. I went by and the explained the situation to the general manager who was unsympathetic and took no accountability for the staff’s mistake. He asked if I had any emails as evidence, however it was all (unfortunately) communicated over the phone. Had I been accurately informed from the start, I would have canceled as soon as the injury occurred instead of paying $15/month for six months. You will likely be satisfied with the gym until it’s time to leave for whatever reason it may be, at which point they’ll show their true colors. Highly advise against this gym that values profitability over honesty and fairness.Update: I reached out after receiving the below comment and was offered a free fitness consultation. Thanks, but I want the $30 I was scammed out of back and for BSC to adjust their policy so theyre not exploiting their members when they get HIT BY A CAR.

After having a terrible time trying to handle a billing situation at the Central Square location, I ended up speaking to the general manager, Paul, at this location. He listened to my concerns, explained what had happened, and resolved the issue. It was like night and day between my experience between this David Square location and the Central Square location.

Do not go here. Small gym, with broken down or beat up equipment. Scam billing practices. Trust what other people on here have said.They raised my monthly rate by a greater than agreed upon amount at my one year anniversary. They did not provide me with any notice as required by contract. I did not realize the fee increase until the following months credit card statement, so I was still charged the $70 annual membership fee at my one year anniversary. I cancelled my membership immediately upon realizing that they broke my contract by raising the monthly fee by greater than what was agreed upon without providing me with notice.They were completely unresponsive when I tried to contact them multiple times to address this. I finally spoke with someone named Kendall who was completely dismissive on the phone.Brutal experience across the board.

The fees for my membership were randomly raised with no notice to me. When I inquired with the general manager I was told that they are allowed to raise fees as per my contract. What my contract states is that they can change fees after giving notice to me-which was never done either by certified mail or through email as they claim. There is zero accountability on their part and customer service is basically non-existent. The people working the front desk are usually very friendly and nice but it’s not worth it to stay here when BSC clearly doesn’t honor their contracts and the actual facility offers nothing more than any other area gym.

Small gym with aging equipment and very poor customer service. Simple questions are answered with I dont know you have to come back tomorrow during the day. Moreover they will bend over backwards to get you to sign up over the phone or email but if you want to cancel they make it very hard, claiming you have to send certified mail just to cancel which is ridiculous considering the times and the fact that this is simply a gym membership and not a bank account. There are way better gyms with better facilities and customer service in the area.

Improve the smell of the gym and Id give it another star....Watch out for those contracts they make you sign during sign up period if youre new. They make it seem like getting out of a contract is easy but theyre snakes.... Management is dishonest

I called to cancel my membership when I needed to move to a different city. they told me I had to go in person to do so, which proved to be inconvenient but I did. Because of the timing they told me I had to pay for the following month which I understood from their policies. The person at the desk told me my membership was cancelled and never sent me a receipt after asking for one. The person at the desk assured me my membership was cancelled and that I wouldnt have any issue in the future. I even went in person a second time to make sure it was cancelled since I hadnt received a receipt and wanted to get a second representative to tell me it had been cancelled. come to find out it was never cancelled and they had continued to charge me for months! Trying to speak to their general manager Paul proved useless, he did not take ownership for any of his employees actions and even said I was still responsible for a cancellation fee and the following month.

Great gyms. Bought a $65 membership and can go to just about any of the gyms in Massachusetts. I use four of them. kept clean. Courteous staff. great workout classes

New manager is amazing! Gym is clean and the trainers are all very friendly and helpful

Don’t waist your time. The women’s locker room is dirty, the showers look like they are never clean and often they don’t open on time. Only a few of the personal trainers there are friendly and actually know what there doing.

Horrible business, after canceling our membership they still charge our account. We got a email to call the Davis square number, called several times, the number just rings.

They utilize the small space well and it’s a convenient location, but those are about the only positives for this location. About 30-40% of the cardio machines are broken and have been for months and months. It’s not right to charge full price and then force your members to wait long periods for machines to open up, when half the machines are sitting there broken and empty.

Echoing others... avoid. There are other gyms that are cleaner and cheaper near the location.They failed to honor my deal of a membership agreement by raising fees and mismanaging contract paperwork (not properly filling it out). If you are paying over $25 a month you are getting fleeced.And good luck properly cancelling. After a mis-charge I spoke with General Manager Paul expecting an apology and a fix but instead met an immediate stonewall with robotic responses.This gym is terrible for the community and puts a bad mark on all other decent BSCs in the area.

Aurora at the desk is great as are most of the other staff! However, I would not recommend signing up here. I had to cancel because we were moving to another city for a new job. They told me I had to come in person, fine. So, I did after work (which seems like a normal time for a gym to be busy). Poor Auroa was all by herself. She was courteous and very nice, as she was overwhelmed by people trying to check in and trying to help me. A manager on her way out explained that they would charged me a $10.00 cancelation fee and charge me for another month and a half, even though I signed up for a month to month. Which is not a lot of money, but is just ridiculous on principle. It was also not in my original membership agreement. The manager had no time to explain it more, because she wasn’t even supposed to be working (not her fault). Advice to owners/upper management, use the extra month and a half you’re billing people for to pay to adequately staff your business during peak hours. Advice in general, don’t sign up for this gym and if you do expect to be paying far longer and more than your agreement states.Update: The help that was offered here yielded nothing and Ive just discovered they are still charging me for a locker. Every time I call no one can help, and theyll get back to me. Sigh...

Gym is well-sized, although often crowded due to centralized location. A good amount of cardio equipment and the vast majority was in working condition.There is a 45 day required notice, but other than that, cancelling my membership was a smooth process.

Glad this bsc still open! transferred from wellington circle

The gym itself is clean, and the equipment was updated and repaired regularly while I was a member there.It cost me $50/mo to get a pass for all of Boston, though I had friends that were able to get the full chain pass for that much, so try to barter.Still hits you with the same BS fees as every other gym: annual fees and cancellation fees, so factor that in to your monthly budget.Cancellations must be given in person during week day hours 45 days in advance. Because you know, thats necessary.

Clean and well maintained gym in an unbeatable location. The sales staff is helpful and friendly. The weight equipment is fairly limited as there are only 2 squat racks and 1 regular bench. But depending on the time of day it is usually not very crowded there.

This Sports club has all the bells and whistles as far as equiptment and programs however, The STaff are horrible. They put unexperianced staff at the front desk like ( Em ) Who will tell you they do not know when her supervisors are comming in to work. ( Em) Tells you that someone will call you back but they never do. If you show the least bit of frustration over the phone to her she will tell you she does not like your tone and shuts the conversation down. She is seriously lacking in the customer service department . Never give this sports club your debit card to pay a bill because they will take money that you do not authorise in a flash,

Again this morning, which happens once or twice a month. No one shows up for open at 5:30 AM. People linger about like lost souls as some or most also shower there on their way to work. The sad part is you always believe and hope that in the next two minutes someone will show up. At 5:30 they never show up a little late. They are luck Jere is no competition near by. Please do better

I am very disappointed with BSC Davis. I had been a long-standing member, had taken a hiatus for a couple of years and was looking to come back. I called to sign up, was confirmed at a set monthly rate after discussing with the membership consultant. The GM just needed to call me back, to take my payment info. I never got a call back, so I called to check in, and I was told by the membership consultant that the rate I was quoted was erroneous and could not be granted. The same membership consultant gave me a different but still, unacceptable rate (imo) as I had been given a confirmed quote of half that before. When I complained to upper mgmt, as this seemed to me like bad business practice, I was told there was no budging AND the rate that could be given was more than the highest rate the membership consultant had given as a final number. BSC get your sh!t together! You’ve lost me as a member for life. And I hope this helps others to decide not to come back too; you don’t deserve my money or the money of others who are looking to join/re-join. Total shitshow.

Very nice gym. Been going here for almost 2 years now and Staff/Trainers are very friendly and helpful. This gym has all the essentials to get you in the best shape of your life.

It should have what you need. Its way too crowded week days after work but otherwise nice place. The music is top 40 pop so bring head phones.

I am updating my review... the hassle to get your membership cancelled or changed is not totally worth it. Twice i had asked them to freeze my accounts and both times i was charged full for the month. Had to go constantly talk to them to get the fees changed to the freeze fees. Finally cancelled the membership and now i keep getting these emails from them where they would waive my yearly fees to get me back to join. Alas thats not happening. Please beware of this gym. When you want to join they will promise you the stars but they dont deliver on it.

Great gym. A little crowded after work, but theres enough to do if you are assertive. Hate to see people sitting at a machine and checking their phones. If you are at a machine use it or get lost. Ive got no time to wait for you to send SMS. Yep, thats what I mean by being assertive to get your needs met during peak hours. Classes also fill up super fast if you can only book 12 hrs in advance. (Like within 5 min of 12 hrs prior). Still a great gym for the price. And its kept clean considering the activity level.

Update 4/12/21 - It has been three years and they are still contacting me. I’m now being told by the branch “it’s corporate doing it.” Well corporate is using a blocked number to leave robo voicemails. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANYDid a one day complimentary pass to check the gym out, it was small and cramped and definitely not worth the money. It has been over 8 months since and no matter how hard I try, I cannot get them to stop calling/texting me. PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE. And for everyone else, go a stop down to the Porter planet fitness. Wayyyyy nicer and less than half the price.

Location: 10/10Cleanliness: 4/10Equipment Upkeep: 4/10Value: 3/10If you live in the Davis area and need something convenient this location is hard to beat, however value for money is on par with VOSS water. BSC is pumping another $5/month fee increase and the paper towel and hand soap dispensers in the men’s room have been out of order for over 11 months - where’s the $5 going? While i enjoy using shower gel for soap in the sinks and toilet paper to dry my hands this may not be for everyone, especially for over $60/month.Additionally the gym is a mess in the mornings, the closing crew must not do a walk-through to re-rack weights and pick up towels because the gym is littered with bottles, towels and loose weights every morning.If this gym wasn’t literally on my commute route I’d consider other options, also avoid the annual memberships here as cancelling requires more paperwork than a student loan.Do better BSC.- AM staff are always professional and an exception to otherwise poor value.

Stay away from this gym. I cancelled back in January and BSC keeps calling me saying my account is overdue. They will do whatever it takes to steal your money and do nothing to help you out. If you want the hassle and loss of money by joining here, go for it. However, better gyms, with better management, with better equipment, more space, and better memberships exist!! STAY AWAY FROM BSC!!!

Top floor was extremely warn. Second wasnt a whole lot better. Was only 75 degrees outside so I wouldnt expect HVAC to be that ineffective. Ended up cutting workout short and wont be returning to this location.

This has to be one of the smelliest, overcrowded, most god awful gyms I’ve ever been in. BSC has always been pretty bad but after moving to this location I will be pursuing other gyms. I feel like I caught a disease just working out there

The hours are inconvienient (closes at 9pm!) the facilities are overcrowded and I was charged an egregious cancelation fee of $45 for my no contract, monthly membership! I do not recommend them, and Im only posting a review after telling a manager at closing to remove me from their system and a month later getting an email from the manager offering me limited time deals! Its a very badly run gym

Ive been a member of this gym for close to two years. During this time key equipment continued to be broken (ellipticals, for example) with signs suggesting repairs are coming (but over a year later, they did not and the elliticals at best feel like grinding coffee.)The staff at the gym are highly disinterested in helping you out, having noted the issue many times, I received the same non-committal answer.Finally they raised the price monthly by 10$ without providing me any notice. My credit card alerted me. When coming to cancel their manager reiterated that contractually BSC can raise the price whenever they want to and wouldnt even wave the cancelation fee.

I quit my BSC membership effective the end of this month. The studios are okay - you get what you pay for. However, their customer service shows that they have no respect for their customer and their organization is quite broken. Not fun and happy I no longer have to deal with them.

Random policies show up as soon as you try to close your account, constant nickel and diming, prices go up regularly and they offer 0 flexibility on any of this.This gym is too small and Ill equipped to be charging these prices.

Clean place and all the equipment you need to exercise. I was in town for a week (during Sept.) and wanted to keep active so I decided to give the closest gym a shot. A kind rep named Skylar helped me get started with my trial membership and showed me all the equipment. Overall Impressive facility in a lively place!

They charge you for a membership well after cancellation even if you adhere to their 45 day notice. Avoid at all costs. There are better options who dont use these predatory practices to squeeze money out of people.

This BSC is incredible. Not only is it in the heart of Davis Square, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I go to the gym every day and I can honestly say that this gym gives me a sense of community and offers two levels of equipment to work with. Being a young person in the Somerville area, it is awesome to have people working out with be around my own age. Ive made several friends at this gym. Not only that- I met my boyfriend here! Great gym. Great equipment. Awesome people. Awesome location.

Its a good location and OK gym but it is expensive for what you get. The equipment could be updated and classes could be better.

Great gym but good luck canceling your membership...

Decent sized gym in a great location, but seems like theres always equipment broken here for a long period of time without getting fixed. Seeing an out of order sign on a treadmill for weeks is not uncommon. It also tends to get really crowded, which makes it even more frustrating when all the equipment isnt available.

Overcrowded and broken machines. Owner uses deceptive policy and billing practices to charge you even when youve canceled months in advance. Avoid the headache and go somewhere else.

Expect true headache if you ever try to cancel your membership! Not only were they slow at canceling, but I then realized they had been charging me the wrong rate for months! They then took over two months to correct the incorrect charges.

I am a member of the Wellington BSC, but have gone here a couple times. Its not nearly as nice as the Wellington location because its about 1/3 the size. Its quite small (especially the studios for classes), and its all metered parking. That being said, its a clean gym, the staff is friendly and its in a convenient location if you live in that area. I cant go here anymore though, because I would just go to Annas every time.

I lost my workout shoe. I informed the staff and they were not helpful. They dont have lost and found so if you loss something, it is gone for good. Disappointing service!

It gets busy and crowded like most gyms at times but overall good experience. Clean facility, polite staff. They have a 30 min rule on the cardio during peak hours so you can get on a machine. Sauna is nice.

The free weights are the only redeeming quality, other then that I experienced nothing but excuses, bad customer service and a HUGE waste of money.The gym practices unethical sales tactics. I was bombarded with phone calls. I was also given multiple offers and total I would be able to get multiple different rates. I was told that I was being given the best possible discount, only to find that a friend of mine was able to get better price because they threatened to leave. The process was both annoying and dishonest. If you have no other choice but use this gym, then MAKE SURE YOU HAGGLE WITH THEM.The gym constantly has broken machines 30-50% of the treadmills where broken when I walked in. This paired with the fact the gym is always crowded makes it difficult to find machines. When I say always crowded I mean it, from open to close the gym is packed.The member of the gym who signed me up did not explain the terms and conditions and was more eager to get my signature then to actually help me. I paid upfront for year, after the year had passed I found that my credit card was being charged without my consent.When I discovered that my credit was being charged without my knowledge I called to immediately terminate my membership. After I called and left several messages for a manager, I was eventually able to get ahold of William. If I had not persistently called, I would not have been able to get ahold of him. Despite my the multiple voicemails and messages I left for the front desk it was ultimately me getting lucky that a manager answer the phone that I was able to speak with one.William was rude and not interested in finding the cause of the problem with the gym. During the phone call he sighed loudly into the phone, sorry to bother you, I just want to know why YOUR CHARGING ME MONEY WITH MY CONSENT. I was able to cancel the membership, but will be subject to extra charges. Overall I thought the situation was handled very poorly. William clearly did not care about my business.If your looking for a gym you should look elsewhere. Davis Square BSC will taking your money not providing a quality experience.

Awesome gym with regulars and staff who all seek to help build each other up. Like a second home with great people and plenty of squat racks!!

They are pretty sneaky about increasing prices without notifying you. And just because they block the exit so much I dont think Im ever joining boston sports club again.
