Love this gym. Incredible workouts and great people. Peter, the trainers, the staff, and the members are all welcoming & supportive, and there is a real sense of community in there. The gym is about personal improvement - for all walks of life and for all levels of fitness. The Fighter Conditioning classes, strength training sessions, and boxing technique classes are all excellent. Best gym I've ever belonged to...by far.

I've been working out at Peter Welch's for a number of years now. The instructors are top notch and the classes they teach incorporate a mix of boxing, cardio, and strength training. I know for some it might be intimidating to go to a boxing gym but give it a try and you'll be hooked.

I like that you don't have to trade off between a well-equipped gym and intense fitness classes. This place has it all including great locker facilities.

Peter Welch's is a home away from home. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Clean facility and equipment that maintains an authentic feel. A workout experience that allows you to go at your preferred intensity. Whether you're looking to lose weight, gain lean muscle, or really learn the art of boxing, Peter and staff will make it happen for you.

Upon my first visit after signing up for their prime membership a young woman there communicated with me completely inappropriately and unprofessional. I attempted to ask her a few questions regarding their classes and boxing glove rentals, to which she rolled her eyes and told me she didn't have time for as she was participating in a class herself.

Why on earth would you allow your staff to participate in classes while they are on duty? Why was this young woman so entitled to not helping me and answering my questions but so quick to disregard my concerns.

I cancelled the membership that day. Terrible service, terrible people. Thoroughly represents the implicit bias and covert racist ways that the southie population of Boston is notoriously known for. Do not visit this gym if you are minority.

I love this gym. All of the trainers and staff are super knowledgeable and friendly. Each trainer has a different style so you get a great variety in classes. The workouts are super challenging and the gym has a great atmosphere.

I love this place! Every teacher is different but awesome and challenging. The staff and other memebers are very welcoming. You leave there drenched in sweat and feeling a million times better than when you walked in the door. I highly recommend it to all levels of fitness.

As a black man myself, I tend to disagree with some of the comments I've seen below. I'm a huge fan of Peter Welch's. Amazing energy from the staff and ALWAYS friendly. If anyone is looking for a great team atmosphere where workouts are constantly changing and you can TRULY learn the skills of boxing, this is the place to be. Keep up the Great Work!!

Not a place for black people or minorities. Upon my first visit after signing up for their prime membership ($185/Month) a young woman there not only did not greet me at the door but gave me a major attitude. I attempted to ask her a fee questions regarding their classes and boxing glove rentals, to which she rolled her eyes and told me she didn't have time for as she was participating in a class herself.

I find the workout at Peter Welch's Gym very challenging but rewarding. Don't know of any other gym that gives you this type of work out. Results are amazing. Love his gym, been going there since it opened when it was across the street. Try it you'll agree.

The Peter Welch gym is a great gym to train at, no matter if you're a new comer or advanced! You will get a great full body workout and pick up new techniques! This is a comfortable environment and the trainer's are great!
Have fun!

Love this place! Peter and his staff run a great program---the cardio work out is awesome--- Not only will you find top notch fighters & trainers, they are all amazing people as well! Thanks for all you do for our community!

As a former competitive cross fit athlete who was getting hurt all too often, this is an incredible alternative. There is much less body impact and arguably is a better overall body workout. Strength class is also an option as well as the full gym upstairs. The classes and instructors are phenomenal. Definitely give it a shot.

You'll get a great cardio workout here, there's no doubting that. If mastering the science of boxing is your goal, go somewhere else.

Likes:
- Open pretty much all day everyday
- Cardio-intensive classes

Dislikes:
- Lack of equipment
- Overcrowded classes
- Focus on cardio over technique
- Lack of availability for sparring

I highly recommend this gym for people considering trying boxing for the first time, those looking to "get back into it", or people just looking for a great 60 minute workout that hits every muscle group, hard.
Amazing staff, atmosphere, music and clientele.
The team is very flexible about trial memberships etc... making it easy give it a shot. You will be hooked after one class.

I started working out at Peter Welch's Gym in April of this year (2016). I was trying to get in shape for the summer so I signed up for the 30 day trial. Wow, what a workout! This is fun and physically demanding. The camaraderie in the gym is great, and it is nice to see everyone ready to go at 6:30am! If you are looking to get in shape and learn some boxing technique, this is the gym for you!
PS: I signed up for the year after my 30 day trial.
