MYSTRYDE Athletic Club Charlestown — Local services in Boston

Before my first class at mystryde my only experience with treadmills was reluctantly gripping on to it for dear life while I power walk up an incline for 5 mins before lifting weights because I thought I hated running. I was wrong. I don't hate running any more.

By the end of my first class I was sprinting faster and longer than I ever would have thought. It's not just showing up and running on a treadmill. They guide you through a warm up and then challenge you with intervals of sprints, hills, jogs, etc.

My favorite thing they have is the guide on each tread. It has a column for beginner, intermediate and advanced. Each column has 5 zones with a suggested range of speeds for each zone with zone 1 being a walk/jog and zone 5 being a sprint. So you're not being told to run a speed, you're told a zone and whatever that means for you on that day is what you do. My first class zone 2 speed was slower than my fourth class zone speed because of the way the instructors really push you in a positive way to do your best and challenge yourself.

I've been too 4 classes since and have truly loved every experience. There's this common misconception that during a group fitness class, everyone else is watching you. Nope, they aren't. They are doing the same thing you are, trying to do what the instructors are saying and trying to catch their breathe. The lights are dim and the music is loud so you can hear the instructor and really focus on yourself and getting the best workout you can.

I can't wait for...

I am OBSESSED with MYSTRYDE and cannot say enough amazing things about the studio, the classes, the instructors and the music!

STUIDO: The studio is so clean and all of the equipment feels brand new and is kept in amazing shape. I love the neon lighting in class and the vibe in the studio, it makes me want to work hard and helps me zone out from everything outside of my workout! MYSTRYDE is the first workout class I have been to since COVID started, and I felt incredibly safe right away with all of the health & safety protocols they have in place.

CLASSES: Each class I have taken is so hard in the best way! I get an amazing workout and am able to exercise at my level, which makes every class feel individualized. I do not consider myself a runner so I was nervous before my first class, but all classes are accessible for everyone because of the interval, short burst style!

INSTRUCTORS: The instructors are incredible and I love all of them! Having taught barre classes before, I am SO impressed with the way the instructors keep up with the counting and transitions so seamlessly. They are also incredibly positive and motivating, and encourage each person to push themselves to their individual bests!

MUSIC: The playlists are BOMB and so energizing and motivating!

MYSTRYDE also has the best perks like a free class pass for referrals, bring a friend for free after taking 4 classes and 20% off a retail item just for going to your first class! MYSTRYDE is a 10/10. There is no better workout...

This is one of the best gyms /classes I ever been to - and I’ve been going to gyms for over 40 years. The customer service is superb - a lot of gyms skimp on the front desk but this place has the best people - always nice and helpful. If you email, they are equally helpful. I was so confused by how the app was working and I had a long email chain with someone very nicely explaining to me until I finally got it. Finally the tread classes are phenomenal - I am only there for the running at the moment and they allow several treadmills in classes that a mixed running/weight work to be for all running. They also have full treadmill only classes. The weight room look very well run with a wide variety of equipment - I plan get in there next. All the instructors are a mix of DJs/running experts/ weight lifting experts. They are well prepared and ready to motivate! After all this, they have a lot of community runs outside and offer all kinds of opportunities to earn free classes. This is a just a very well run business. Highly...
