I am not sure if it is black thing or not, but I went to the office and spoke with the owner. He promised twice that he will contact me, wrote my phone and email for him, and I am still waiting for the whole year.

I have been online training with Jay for the past few weeks and it's been great. He provide tons of support and checks in on my program every week. I feel both mentally and physically stronger then I did before we started working together. Also the classes are really good and compliments the training really well.

Been meaning to leave a review for quite some time! I relocated to Boston about a year ago & was in search of finding a gym with a community. I came across ethos on yelp & it was the best decision I made! Prior to ethos I always found it hard to maintain a routine or find a work out that I really enjoyed. Since I started training at ethos not only do I have a routine that I enjoy but it's the best part of my day! Kettlebell training is a great work out & a challenge I have grown to love! I have done both privates, semi private's & classes. They have all kept me challenged & keep me wanting to push myself harder! Lastly, I really love the community at Ethos! Every trainer is awesome & all the others members great! I have really felt like I found a home away from home (something I never thought I say about a gym!) If you are looking for a great work with great people don't wait, go to ethos!

I started training at Ethos almost a year ago and it's been fantastic. All of the trainers, including my personal coach Matt, are easy to get along with, motivating and really know their stuff. Matt has been encouraging and enthusiastic and that makes working out fun challenge rather than a dreaded hour at the gym. If you want a positive experience with goals set just for you, this is the place.

I've been coming here for almost two years, twice a week. I primarily work with Jay but have worked with many of the other staff members. All are great, though I assume it's the caring, perceptive and masterful standards of Jay&Jess creating that atmosphere. In all my two years, Jay has not once looked away from, phoned in, or lost complete focus on transforming me in a way I didn't think possible. He's a deeply compassionate person, inspiring me to be as invested in my well-being as much as he is. He fully expects you to take what you've learned and keep at it outside the space (hence the name "Ethos," meaning more or less a lifestyle and worldview). I found Ethos through the StrongFirst website as recommended by Joe Rogan. I knew I would be using the most up to date, methodical science for strength and flexibility training. But I was surprised to find that I was rapidly reaching personal goals through a customized take on the way I learn, building on my strengths. That Jay would set standards and expectations and never once flinched, keeping me accountable with an irrefutably charming and determined bedside manner. The gym is the exact opposite of what I've come to expect in a gym Boston. Make no mistake these are nerds in the best sense of the word. I know how to fix myself, take care of myself, carry myself and generally inhibit my body better both in and outside of the gym and can't thank the Ethos family enough.

I have been training at Ethos for about 7 months under Coach Joe Riley. I was drawn to them by the convenience of their location, their unique approach to one-on-one coaching and the depth of knowledge the coaching team has in movement and nutrition. What has kept me showing up 3x a week are the results I have seen in my own fitness and energy levels, and perhaps more importantly the fun, inclusive and positive environment provided by Joe and the broader team.

Going to Ethos is typically the highlight of my day. The coaches are amazing and so are the other members. I've had personal training and the small group classes. Both are always challenging and fun. It's a well rounded atmosphere where all of your goals can be realized. 100/10 would recommend.

I love training at Ethos! It's a supportive and fun environment. The coaches are great. Kettlebell training is awesome and a great way to stay healthy.

Ethos is sensational! As someone who is not naturally gifted athletically (to put it kindly), I have been blown away by the transformation in my intuitive understanding of good body movement, both in working out and in daily life. At the gym I finally "get" the mechanics of deadlifting, for example, or of Turkish getups or pushups or - well, the list goes on. And in daily life I now have an understanding of ergonomically correct movement when picking up large packages or pushing a heavy load on a wheeled cart or....

I take the group classes, and the instructors are all superb - each different in style, personality, and methods from each other. This opportunity to be coached in the same fundamental movements by different instructors provides a benefit greater than the sum of their individual parts, for the complementary approaches together help one repeatedly reach that "Oh, I get it!" moment.

Finally, both the members of the gym and the coach-instructors provide a supportive, enthusiastic environment that makes attendance a joy - not an "oh, I should do this because I know it will benefit me" kind of thing, but an "Oh, good, I have class at 6 tonight to look forward to" kind of thing. I literally can't count the number of times I have walked out of class with various members after class, each of us saying, "Wow! That was great! I'm so glad I come here!" I would never go anywhere else.

Ethos has the friendliest and most professional people. I started training with Matt at Ethos half a year ago and I am already so much stronger than ever. I have always been active and outdoors but my upper body was very weak- was never able to do a single pushup despite trying for many years, and it also limited me from progressing on sports I enjoy like swimming and surfing. I started to think that my body is just not built for that, but I am so glad I gave it one more try at Ethos.
Matt (and every coach at Ethos really) is very good at tailoring the workout program to individual's need. I have never seen a single athlete at Ethos doing the same program as mine. Matt would also make adjustments to the day's workout based on how I am feeling, and with that I hit a lot of milestones without being pushed over the edge. Ethos also takes a holistic approach to health - Matt would ask about my diet, my sleep etc which I really appreciate. I got some very useful advice on diet and it definitely helps with my progression.
My first gym goal was to hit 1 pushup and 1 chinup after the first consultation session (it is free btw so everyone should take advantage of it). I thought it was impossible and more like a joke but he proved me wrong. By the third month without even noticing, I am doing my first 5 pushups after some 20 years!! Also weight is never a concern for me, but I start to see my physique changing. I gained more muscles and got rid of my tummy and love handler. Nice side effects to have.
I would definitely recommend Ethos to anyone looking for a supportive, fun and resourceful environment to get stronger and healthier. And for those who don't, you should still go because Molly the dog is cute and Matt is known for his great music taste and Halloween outfit in the gym.

Training at Ethos has really paid off, I am feel that I am in the best shape of my life - I've tried many other gyms and played lots of sports- but nothing has given me the results that I have achieved at Ethos-
also great staff and small group training make it even better.

Ethos Fitness has greatly improved my physical health. The gym focuses on a variety of kettlebell movements for weight training and cardio. I think what makes the gym unique is that they can tailor workouts to suit your needs, provide continuous feedback, and teach you the correct form to ensure you won't hurt yourself. I was suffering from neck/back pain with very limited range of motion due to my profession. In fact, my stiffness was so bad that I couldn't get into a squat position without having pain.

Jess was able to create a specific workout plan to suit my body but also allow me to push myself. The first couple of weeks were tough and frustrating. I felt as if I couldn't do any of the movements, and wasn't improving. I had to retrain myself to understand what a "good workout" really entails. Slowly I started to see my range of motion and pain levels drop, and I can now enjoy group classes based on my learned skill set.

I think what I enjoy the most is that the gym is relaxed and everyone wants to see you succeed. If you want to be part of a community of people who are just fun to be around and help you reach personal goals, then Ethos is the right gym for you.

This gym rocks! I've been doing personal training here and would recommend it to anyone. Matt has worked out personalized plans for workouts, nutrition and goals. Highly recommended.

I have been one of Jay's clients for a year and a half now and every time I'm there, as cliched as this might sound, I am inspired to be the best that I can be. The shear joy Jay experiences during our sessions is contagious. You can't help but have a good time when you train with him, no matter how much you are sweating. The guy clearly loves what he does and is very good at it. By the way, that is what you do at Ethos, you don't work out; you train. The entire staff takes you one step at a time to perfect your technique and make the most of your sessions. The other coaches and clients become your friends. The atmosphere is always professional, but there is a real sense of community with goals to achieve together, and a lot of fun to be had along the way. It's not called Ethos for nothing.

I love Ethos! My husband has been training here since they opened, I was a little late to the party and a little reluctant initially because I've never really enjoyed being at the gym - that said I was won over after my first session.

Ethos is a very different environment than your typical gym. More than just friendly, it's welcoming and warm, and a place people of all ages, shapes and sizes go to get healthier and stronger.

I've worked with Jess for a few months now, and my only regret is that I didn't join sooner. It is truly a personalized experience and even in this short time and with my crazy schedule I've noticed the difference in how I look and feel. The attention to mobility, stability, and strength is unique and comprehensive. I couldn't be happier I joined.

Fantastic Place and Fantastic Personal Training. I travel often and make it a point to have a trainer in the city or town I visit. I found Alex at EthosFitness and making arrangements for the 3 day appointment was easy. The gym was great - accessible, clean, and the facilities are more than what you need for a workout. Alex was patient and took his time to understand my needs and check on my challenge areas - especially with regards to my mobility and strength. The next day, I had a program all lined-up. It was really enjoyable, challenging, and I didn't even notice the hour pass-by. I recommend this place and for people to set-up a session with Alex when you are in Boston. 5Stars all the way

Ethos is an amazing training facility. A welcoming environment where the trainers knows your name, always greet you and care about your individual fitness goals. Never before have I been so excited about going to the gym on a daily basis or at 7:00 in the morning! Oh, and they have amazing music!

I've worked out with Alex G. for the past 4 months and lost 15 pounds and gained lean muscle. Alex G. took the time to understand my fitness goals and understand what motivates me. He reviews my food journal and offers suggestions that work! His workouts are fun, but he makes sure my movements are correct to target the right muscle group. He is constantly bringing out gadgets to help me learn technique and movement.

I feel amazing and stronger than ever as a result of working out with Alex G!

I've been working with Jess at Ethos for the past four months and have loved it. For as long as I can remember, I've struggled to stick with or enjoy a fitness routine but that all changed when I started going to Ethos in the fall. Jess took the time to get to know me and my goals and really learn what I need to be successful. Her training style has motivated me and resulted in me not only staying with it but truly looking forward to every session. She asks questions, understands what challenges me, pays close attention, personalizes my workouts and her approach to set me up for success - and goes above and beyond in helping to keep me accountable to my goals and commitments by checking in via text. She is so knowledgeable about technique, thorough in explaining how to do things correctly, why we do them and what muscle groups they target. I've been really happy with the results I've seen so far, feel stronger and more energetic than I ever have before, am committed to this work and look forward to continuing to see results.

All of this, plus unlike other gyms I've gone to in the past where I've felt intimidated, Ethos has an amazing, inclusive and encouraging community with a friendly team of trainers that always make you feel welcome. I absolutely love it there and would highly recommend Ethos to anyone, at any level of fitness, who is looking for an awesome place to get healthy and fit, surrounded by great people.
