This gym is a SCAM. Owner (David) advertises a cheaper member price online and then more than DOUBLES it when you go into gym to sign up. Was told on the phone the enrollment fee was $50, then tried to sign up in person only to discover he wanted $199! He would not honor what the website price was promoting ($10.99/month) despite it still being advertised on their current website. That is down right illegal and unethical. How does this gym expect to have loyal clients with shady business practices? Equipment/interior of the gym itself is standard. Has all the weights, machines, and core classes a basic member would need. Filthy bathrooms. Unavailable staff and owner to answer questions or concerns. Youre better off at a Planet Fitness or buying a workout video at home. Do not join.

The gym is outdated and routinely unclean, there is a very limited selection of cardio equipment, and the bathrooms are in shambles. The most frustrating aspect of this gym, however, is the absolutely wretched customer service. I cancelled my account over 2 months ago and despite 2 follow-up phone calls to confirm my cancellation (which I made for fear that the completely incompetent staff would screw something up) my account is still being billed. I clearly should have paid more attention to the previous reviewers note on their supposed cancellation policy (which I now believe is a complete fraud). I would strongly encourage anyone interested in signing up to seriously consider the alternative nearby locations.

I cant believe the reviews Im reading on here right now! I just had the exact same experience: incompetent staff, owners not willing do do what is right, outrageous cancellation policy, etc... I signed a 1 year contract and unwritten in the contract is that memberships automatically renew after that 1 YEAR CONTRACT expires. I havent been to this gym for 4 months and am still paying fees thanks to their rediculous cancellation policy. Stay away from this "family owned gym."

It has plenty of weights and cardio equipment. 2 power racks. Foam rollers are behind the front desk. A trap bar for deadlifts. Kettlebells. Med balls. I thought it was great. Not many group exercise options, but if you want basic weights/cardio, then youll be set. I had to cancel my contract due to a job change and they handled it quickly.

Arlington Health and Fitness is a no-frills gym with all the equipment you need and a few classes (yoga, spinning). If youre looking for the latest TRX or cross-fit workout - look elsewhere. But, if you want a friendly, neighborhood gym where you wont have to wait for equipment or weights - this is it!

Decent gym, but for the price ($45/month) its not worth it. No pool, no sauna, old equipment. They make it very difficult to cancel your membership, cant cancel over the phone or online, have to show up IN PERSON to sign a form, which was a pain in the ass as we moved an hour away. Would not recommend

Bare bones gym which is fine, owners business practice left a lot to be desired. Get anything and everything in writing and even then get ready for a fight, their cancelation policy is unbelievable. There are too many other places that are better, I would never recommend this gym to anyone.

The good: friendly staff, plenty of equipment and good parking. The bad: very old equipment and the urinal was broken but not marked "out of order" and a horrible smell was coming from it. All in all, a good place but plenty of room for improvement.

The gym does not cost a lot, but you really get what you pay for with this one... It can get fairly crowded and does not offer much, but by far the worst part is that the people who work at this place and the owner are just unbelievably rude.

Dont join, you will regret it - the owner is UNBELIEVABLY rude, and incompetent, and the facilities are lackluster at best. There are better options near by in Porter Sq.

Jeff Young

A poor choice. Owner failed to respond to serious complaint about inappropriate touching in a yoga class. Rude staff. I strongly advise against this gym.

Yarrow Simmons

A little basic but has everything you need, people are friendly, its never crowded and its in a convenient location (at least for me)

Min Kim

Affordable gym with 2 squat racks, 3 bench press benches, plenty of dumbbells and more barbells. A couple rows of ellipticals.

Josh Freeman

Scam. Theyll keep charging you after your "contract" is over and will not honor any free month agreements/promotions.
