Going to Codys classes is probably the most efficient, genuinely tough, work out you can do in ~ an hour. His small group training HIIT and LIFT classes are the perfect mix of arerobic and strength training and provide most of the benefits of having a personal trainer without the full cost of personal training. Classes are fun and challenging. Ive seen real progress in my strength over the past 6 months that I have been going 2-3 times a week. As a mom with a busy professional schedule, I find the ability to be in good shape without spending hours at the gym a huge benefit. Cody also does a great job tailoring the work outs to the participants who happen to be in each class. He can make classes easier or more difficult so that everyone in the group can participate. Ive seen this firsthand with starting up 6 months ago in terrible shape and now increasing the weights and reps that I can do. I push myself much harder because of the group atmosphere and have seen great results in terms of strength and feeling good!

Ive been taking classes at Harter Strength & Conditioning for over a year now. I initially joined to improve my strength, and was taking the LIFT class twice/week (which works--my max bench press improved by 35 lbs and Ive gone from 4 to 10 unassisted pull-ups). I tried a HIIT class, which was awesome too, so I upgraded to the unlimited membership and now try to take 3-4 classes per week (good training for the Spartan Races). The classes have been great--Cody knows his stuff and is low key but encouraging. Meghan is great too! The other gym members are friendly and supportive, so I actually look forward to going to work out. Even after a year, Im still learning new exercises...and Cody is more than willing to modify a specific exercise for you if you have any injuries or physical limitations.

Harter Strength is hands down one of the best gyms there is in Boston! Coaches Cody and Meghan are two of the best in the business. They are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about helping you achieve your goals. They meticulously design each workout so you are always challenged. I have been a member of various gyms in boston over the past 15 years and none can even come close to them. I signed up for a class and I was hooked. I was doing CrossFit at the time ( for about 7 months) and immediately quit and joined Harter Strength and have not looked back. The results I have seen from these classes in only two months are better than I ever saw with CrossFit. So sign up for a class and I guarantee you will be glad you did!

I was new to the area and I could not have been luckier in finding this gym. The instructors are so friendly and I immediately started getting to know all the other members. Cody’s gym is extremely welcoming and has built a great community of people to workout with. This is by far the best gym experience I have ever had and I found myself getting excited to go to classes every day. Working out alone gets boring and I never seem to work as hard by myself, but Cody’s group training builds friendly competition and makes it easy to show up to an already planned workout program. Believe me when I say you will be challenged and see improvements in your strength and overall fitness, regardless of your current level.

Ive had a variety of trainers over the years and confidently rank Cody as the best of the best. He is truly invested in the well-being of his clients and is a student of his profession. He has a deep understanding of so many training methods, he can address virtually any fitness, rehabilitative or athletic goal. With Codys help, I have achieved things I never thought possible - I took up boxing under his guidance and am currently training for my 2nd amateur fight. Im stronger and more confident at age 36 than Ive ever been, and I credit Cody 100%. I enthusiastically recommend his services to anyone, no matter the fitness level or goal.

I have been working with Cody for the past few months and have had such a great experience! He is super knowledgeable and helps me to understand the rationale behind all of the exercises that he teaches me. He encourages me to do workouts that I never thought I could do. My strength and confidence have improved tremendously since I started working with Cody. I highly recommend Harter Strength and Conditioning to anyone looking for great workout classes or personal training!

I joined this gym with the goal to reach a certain weight by the start of summer. I gained ~20 lbs in 8 months with the help of Cody and Im really happy with all the effort he put in to help me reach that goal. I will continue to exercise at this gym because they make it fun, and the classes are designed in a way that allow you to get out of them whatever you want.

I LOVE this gym. Ive never been stronger and more happy with my fitness routine. For the first time in years, I look forward to working out, and its all thanks to Cody! Hes an incredibly knowledgeable trainer, who always manages to make each class interesting, challenging, and always fun. Best in Boston, hands down.

Cody helped to change my running mechanics which resulted in significantly faster speeds. A truly rewarding accomplishment. He is an amazing running coach and trainer. He puts together great focused workouts that are challenging but attainable. Ive really enjoyed working with Cody...

When I met Cody my hip pain was keeping from running. Since training with Cody, Ive completed 7 marathons and keep getting faster. Also his group classes are amazing.
