UPDATE 5-29-2016: AIF canceled all classes IN CANTON in mid-April, and hauled away all but two of the Keiser cycles and two junkers. Then they started up a few pay-as-you-go classes, $5 for members, $10 for non-members. If you want more than the occasional class, this gym is a poor choice, way too costly. Furthermore, if you want child care, then you need to have the top level of membership, $25-30/month. I dropped my premium membership to $10/month, but there will be a $59/year enhancement fee for my new year. That means its really $15 a month for a full year, or $20 if you quit after half a year. This is still decent, if you can provide your own inspiration. Towel service is included in the $20/month membership, as well as bring a friend. When I happened to be in Foxboro, I checked out their facility. The locker rooms are upstairs (I have bad knees), they did not have some key equipment that I use, and I was not particularly impressed. The limited number of spinning classes fill up half an hour before, they dont take phone reservations, and they begin around the time I usually get up. No way. For the next couple of months, I am still a member, but Ill be exploring Fit Factory, which has spinning classes. Reducing to 3-stars. ----(end update)-----------(begin Jan 2016 4-stars)----- This is not Fuzion management (although that site), and those old reviews should be purged/ignored. The AIF management has been in place for over a year now. Everyone has been friendly and supportive. I did a round of personal training, and it helped. (I have been working out 5+ days a week for 25 years.) There were various monthly teasers to get people to sign up in the summer of 2015, when I was making my gym selection (having recently moved to Canton). I took the top plan for $20/month in August, no contract. It appears that all rates are rising in January: Ill be paying $25, and new subscribers $30. This gym is still a good deal at $25, but $30 might have me scouting around again. The management claims they have been doing good things to improve the place, such as the ten Keiser spinning cycles installed in Sep. (I have been doing spinning classes a couple of times a week - it would be nice to see some other males in there!) Im generally pleased with the upkeep and improvements since I have been there. I should be: they dinged me $49 for an annual "enhancement" fee in Sep (after first month). The gym is generally orderly, weights well racked, etc. However, some equipment is stored in the fitness classroom, so if you want to use soft-covered free weights, for example, on a weekday morning, you can only do so in a class. There was a shortage of mats, but a half dozen or so good but short orange mats appeared last week. They have free playcare with the premium membership. My grandson cried and was unhappy the two times I took him there, a week apart. They say this is normal, keep bringing him: I would have, if I had him multiple days a week. Once a week, it was not worth putting him through it. I think its a good program for young parents. This is not a great club, but its a very good one, and Im happy with it. I also tried free passes at: -- 24/7 Family Fitness ... pool ... way too warm and crowded; gym was fine, but AIF is much closer to me. -- Elite ... when I drove out of the place, I was prohibited from turning left ... [removed stuff about Shamrock (thumbs down) and MIT (great, but too far), due to character limit] When I signed up for AIF, not only was it clearly the best gym deal, it was much closer to me. Check it out: they gave me a whole week of free trial - at the other places, it was only one session. (I will probably never go to the other two AIF sites, only Canton.)

Nice staff for the most part, free weights unorganized and never in proper order. I find myself looking for weights for a minute almost every time! I had slight issues signing up and for the remainder of the membership the owner just being more of a rude businessman.I noticed he was much more pleasant to women than some of the the guy and he just made me feel uncomfortable. He was nice a few times, but not really for the most part. Theres a difference between a good and rude businessman, if he was a good one - Id still be there. He is the single reason why I wont put up with this gym. I just get the feeling that hes not the greatest person every time I see him. Hes not lenient at all on policy like normal gyms, where they try their best to make you feel like your family. Any good business runs on customer satisfaction.

KEEP ALL RECORDS! I now have to take Fuzion Sports Club to small claims court due to their shady cancellation policy. After a cancellation policy dispute, which on several occasions they told me that they would fix, I spoke to the OWNER (Andy) who told me that he not only wouldnt reimburse me, but he is going to deficate my name on bathroom walls. Soooo mature. DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM.

I like AIF. The facility is clean and modern. One complaint though, they had water damage to the studio several weeks ago and it still isnt fixed. Classes are now crammed into a very small, dark 2nd studio. It shouldnt take weeks to fix the room (4-5 weeks as of this typing). It sends the message that classes (almost exclusively attended by women) are an afterthought.

They are fantastic now that they are under new management, the rude person is gone :-) They were very understanding about me being gone for school and did not charge me at all for that time. I can defenetly see the diffrence between the old and new management. Thank you fuzion you made the right decission to let the old manager go :-) Very happy now!

Affordable, a ton of equipment (including a hack squat), never too crowded, friendly staff, could use a few more stair masters, another squat rack, and some weight clips. Other than that great spot

At Answer is Fitness, the staff is super friendly and there are all the machines I could ever need. Dont need anything else in a gym. Would recommend.

Rude, a rip off and going to be taking them to small claims court like others have. Wish I had read this prior to wasting my money.

Rude staff, and bad odor forced me to look elsewhere.
