I switched about two months ago from Equinox to Beacon Hill Athletic Clubs. The two are really like comparing apples and oranges, so take this with a grain of salt. While I enjoyed my experience at Equinox, I found I wasn't using the amenities or classes I was paying for. It was also incredibly crowded. After switching to BHAC, I'm much happier with the price I'm paying, how conveniently located it is, and the longer hours. This gym has everything I need (squat rack, free weights, and a few machines) to get in a great workout.
Convenient, Good Equipment, Value
A no nonsense friendly gym that comes with a great price. Now that they put in a new floor and equipment it's jumped up a notch. And the staff is friendly. You know it's good when you see some Bruins and NFL players working out.
I have been a member of the club since i first moved into the area about 6 years ago. The gym has everything you need in order to get a good workout in, and is continuously improving its equipment. All new machines with 3 squat racks. Ive never had an issue finding a treadmill or a bike. My brother and I were able to do all of our off season football lifts here and it is rarely crowded at all during the day. There is also a real sense of community throughout the members and the staff, everybody is very friendly and you see a lot of familiar faces. Locker rooms are nice as well, with a working sauna and 4 showers. Overall the gym has everything you could need to stay in shape and all for a reasonable price.
Friendly staff, clean facility, lacking and strange equipment. 2 squat racks, hex plates, no platform. Rules against chalk posted. The real issue I have is 100% of their barbells seem to have been filed down to triangles from the normal round. Maybe they were bought second hand or this was a weird choice by the management. It made it very difficult to squat and my shoulders hurt afterwords because of the weird pressure doing low bar. Fine gym to get a run in at but I'll find another spot that's more strength training friendly next time I'm in town.
A bright, very clean facility with caring hands-on management and up-to-date equipment. Offers individualized personal training as well as a myriad of classes. They draw a decently mixed demographic so all ages, shapes and sizes should feel comfortable working out at Beacon. Plenty of parking and an elevator round out the pluses here!
This is, as others have said, a great neighborhood gym with a clientele of all ages. And like the neighborhood in which it sits, it has a warm and friendly character - there is a "Cheers" quality to it, where everyone knows your name. The welcoming tone is set by Jay, the manager and trainer extraordinaire, Alex (also a talented trainer) and Maureen. Before I joined the club, I would never have believed that I would actually look forward to working out. Did I say it is well-equipped? Adding that important fact at the end of this review is reflective of how much else the place has going for it.
The perfect neighborhood gym!

I have been going to Waterfront location of Beacon Hill Athletic Club for over two years now and have never been disappointed! There is a good selection of cardio and weight equipment, a large exercise room, and tidy locker rooms. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I also work with a personal trainer at this location and receive a completely customized workout that is tailored to my specific exercise levels and needs. As long as I remain in the area, I will be visiting this location for years to come!

Incredibly friendly staff. This is a great gym located in the heart of the North End. They just re-did the floor, as well, and it is absolutely impeccable. Very justifiable price as well for such a good workout. Fantastic place for bumping your favorite house music sets, getting savage pumps, or flexing in the mirror. 30 out of 10, would recommend.

Staff is extremely friendly, can be crowded during peak times as it is a small gym in the north end.

Damp, moldy, smelly, mostly old rusty equipment. Often in disrepair. Ownership and management appear not to care.
I love this place! Started going a while back and now I go every week. They have a great staff that will assist you if you need the help. The place is clean and the equipment looks in good condition. Yoga class is great as well. Instructor helps you with your technique and breathing. They have combat training (muy Thai BJJ boxing) classes that are the best! The instructors help you a lot! They don't just give you a work out they teach you the proper techniques. I went to other gyms and didn't like that the only work you out and not teach you the proper way to punch or kick. I recommend this gym to everybody!
Gym has everything you need at a competitive rate for the neighborhood/city. Staff is very friendly and knows so many members by name. Good mix of members at all different fitness levels. Clean space, weights are mostly always racked accordingly. Slightly cramped for space and a little dated but more than sufficient.
Small, local gym
This is one of the few places to workout if you live in the North End. I would love to run from the Back Bay to this location because of the area it surrounds. It really is the prime spot to walk around after a workout. You have the waterfront just steps from doing push presses or a long workout. The price point is similar to the BSC and Fitcorp of Boston but the amenities are lacking due to the small size. This location gets incredibly hot inside because of the small workout room and close proximity of equipment. You get the feeling that you are walking into a hotel gym rather than a stand alone business. There always seems to be a wait for stuff as you are constantly in the way of others and people wanting to use the same equipment. It is a "regulars" gym and everyone knows each other because of the intimate natural of setup. Great location but if you are serious about working out you may find you need to belong to multiple gyms if you choose this one.
