Coming from a long time member for about 8 or 9 years now....this gym does more than the trick. In a perfect location, BHAC North Station has been my staple between changes of homes, and changes of jobs. Right at North Station, is it the perfect way to start my morning after commuting in to the city. Close to the Charles River, I've utilized this area plenty of times for outdoor runs to accompany my indoor workouts. At night, there is electric hustle and bustle around the TD Garden. The gym is not overly flashy or pushy, and not a short-lived trend or niche, like so many gyms temporarily rotating through the city. The staff is excellent-- always welcoming with a smile, never pushing to sell or charge you more, willing to answer a question or assist in any way, while also staying out of your way at the same time to enable the perfect workout you came in for. The reason I have never left this gym in all of my years and job location changes remains the simplicity of the gym, combined with the care of the gym. You come here to work out, at your own pace, and in your own comfort. There is never a broken machine-- something that has been a massive pet peeve of mine at other gyms. It's a underrated delight knowing I will never have to worry about not being able to use a specific machine. They take care of the equipment and rotate in new items regularly. An endless option of cardio machines, and pretty much any kind of lifting or weight mechanism you could ever want is placed out thoughtfully for an easy flow of working out without feeling cramped. Mats, bands, foam rollers, and kettle bells are always available for use. I enjoy working out with regulars and new faces, ranging from ages all over of both women and men. One last final cherry on top is the classes the gym offers. Spin, yoga, combat.... you will never find a lack of something to do new, or new to try. I am thankful for BHAC's ongoing presence at North Station, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a gym, be it a college student, working adult, resident, or commuter. Thank you BHAC!
