MG Fitness Center

Not a bad gym, you go to the gym to workout staff was always saying hello and bye, they dont pressure you to to buy trainging sessions were upfront about the 20.00 fee and so what like some guy said if it doesnt have the hottest women I go for a workout not to get noticed

I joined this gym for $35/month and no contract, no sign up fee. I was told that were no additional fees. I got an email last month that they were charging a $20 maintenance fee. Yes, an email.

I told them they weren't authorized to charge this money, but they stole it from my account this week. I'm going to file fraud charges. I would not recommend this gym. You need to sign papers to quit, but an email is good enough for them to authorize additional payment.

Mikes Gym is a very good gym for a good work out. It has a good and friendly staff. The people that go to Mikes Gym are of all different ages from young to senior citizens. They have great cardio machines that are new and well kept up. They all people of different nationalities. They have two floors of free weights. I am not into free weights at this time. I find the main floor great for me because it has all the machines for cardio and strength. I have only live in MA for about 5 years. I live in Everett so I do not know about the area. Whether it is good or bad. I would recommend MG gym to anyone I come in contact with. It does not have a pool or sauna or a fancy locker room but it is a clean and relaxing place to do your workouts for 1/3 the price of other gyms in the area. I checked out Boston sports club and found it very plush and had a pool and a Gym. It was also 3 times the cost of MG fitness center and people were waitng to use the treadmills and other machines. Not a relaxing place but a fast paced tense atmosphere. The staff was not as friendly as MG fitness center.I feel Mikes is the right place for a good work out and a friendlily atmosphere with a great price.

First off some native american douchebag owns the place which i find hilarious, who is never there. The workers there are far from in shape and steal your money, they charge 10 dollars to work out for the day as a guest even if you were already a member and want to come for the day. Steam room smells like piss and the place is loaded with scum bags on top of it there are no hott women their. go to LA fitness something nicer then DIKES gym

Wow, what can I say? This club has tons of equipment and allows you to do many different routines. The cardio is new and you never have to wait for a machine. The classes are awesome and the instructors really motivate! Strength training is separated with free weights and selectorized on 3 floors. I can't believe how much the staff cares about their members and all at a very reasonable membership. I would suggest this club to anyone. I've been to other clubs in the past, but nothing quite this good all around!

First off, the gym is dirty and smells like a VFW bar room. The equipment is old and most of it is broken with notebook paper signs excusing the inconveinence. They sucked me for the $30/month membership, but now that I have moved trying to cancell my non-contractual agreement has been a nightmare. I was told they recieved my cancellation via fax, then the next month my debit card was charged! I called to speak with someone and was told the only person that could help is the manager and he is only in on Wednesday! Well I called wednessday and no manger..NOW I HAVE BEEN CHARGE FOR TWO EXTRA MONTHS AND STILL HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP. THE OWNERS ARE HACKS WHO NO NOTHING ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I CANT WAIT TO WATCH THEM GO UNDER!

MG Fitness, as it's now known, is a great club without a lot of bells and whistles. The memberships are very reasonable in my opinion, they offer you several options. They have lots of cardio equipment, I've never had to wait for a machine and nothing's worse than standing around waiting for a bench or treadmill. They have 3 floors with heavy lifting equipment upstairs and dumbells downstairs. Plus their dumbells go up to 130 lbs! (not that I need it but you might) I seldom leave the main floor, I prefer machines... The men's locker room is nothing special but what do I care, I only go in to go to the bathroom. It's big enough and clean however. For the most part the staff is excellent. Imagine a club where they actually say hello and goodbye to you?! This may mean nothing to you but I work in customer service and it means a lot to me.

This is one of the cheapest gyms I've tried around the greater Boston area. It's not as well known and sort of out of the way, but that means less people and more available machines. It's a bit small but meets your needs if you're into lifting weights and working out on the basic machines. No pool, sauna and extra amenities but good for a cheap, convenient workout.

Mike's Gym is very basic, no pool, no sauna but it's just what's needed for weight lifting. It has the cardio machines as well but the main focus is the weight machines. The hours are extremely convenient - very early to fairly late each day. It's not located in the poshest area of Medford but hey, it's cheap and our car was never broken into. I used to arrive there at 5am and never had any problems when it was dark.

PROS: Cheap, ok weight machines
CONS: No pool or sauna but Rocky didn't have either of these either :)
