body plus fuel — Local services in Boston

Body + Fuel is my favorite place to get fit. The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly care about everyone who's there. And the community of people who workout there is full of friendly faces.

B+F takes pandemic safety & health very seriously. Not only did they adopt new cleaning procedures, but they created an outdoor workout space available year-round, even in the winter! Since Summer 2020, I've worked out exclusively outdoors. I recently did a front squat PR in 27˚ F temperatures!

The workouts designed by the coaches have a great variety. Some days focus on HIIT, others on heavier weight lifting. Different days concentrate on different muscle groups of the body - you'll never skip leg or arm day if you regularly workout here. The coaches want to help you improve your functional strength and overall health in a safe way, avoiding injuries.

The classes are challenging enough that you always leave sweating, and there are scaling options (easier/harder) so you'll always be able to progress. There are periodic nutrition challenges you can sign up for; it's nice to have a group to keep you motivated!

The price is on par with similar gyms (expensive), but worth it for the quality of instruction, comfortable environment and variety in the workouts (I'm never bored!).

Oh, and the gym is kept SUPER...

Body + Fuel is an amazing small gym with group classes that really give you the best work out! The gym is always clean, members and staff are extremely friendly and encouraging. It’s really helped me keep my motivation and commitment to being healthy, because it’s so fun going there. Their personal training is hands down the best I’ve ever experienced, I’ve worked with two trainers there, had to switch due to scheduling. Packy and Bridget are amazing and so knowledgeable, focusing on form and safety while meeting my fitness goals. It was important to me to find a gym that I felt comfortable in after years of not being in one, and I’m so glad I...
