When my regular gym closed (300+ classes), I tried every gym in Boston looking for a replacement. I finally found it. This is the best gym and workout community in Boston. The trainers are all so attentive, helpful, and kind. They lift everyone up and help every single person in classes work towards their goals, regardless of level. They care about your health and offer modifications if needed. I’ve taken a bunch of different class types and instructors - the music and programming are excellent. It’s fun (but still challenging!) to workout here. I would go every day if I could. Give it a try! You won’t regret it.
I have been a longtime fan of all three of the owners, and once the gym moved to fort point, I was in. Despite what could be an intimidating environment, every single person at the front desk and all of the instructors took the time to introduce themselves to me (or welcome me back). The friendliness extends to the other folks in class too. I quickly made many, many friends (read as: accountability buddies) and we consistently push each other. The instructors are also theeee best - special shoutouts to the after work folks who keep me consistent: Lauren, Kara and Lit2Lift. Making the commitment to join this community was the best decision I made this entire year, hands down.
Backyard Boston is hands-down the best gym I’ve ever been a part of. I take both the group classes and do personal training with Laura. The entire staff is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you get stronger and reach your goals. Laura is amazing, she’s motivating, attentive, and always pushing me in the best way. The group classes are fun, challenging, and have such great energy. The environment overall is super encouraging, and very welcoming. The facilities are top-notch, clean, and thoughtfully set up, making every workout enjoyable. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Backyard Boston. If you’re looking for a gym that’s supportive, effective, and actually fun to go to, this is the place. Highly recommend!
I’ve been going to Backyard for over 3 years - their new location is truly state-of-the-art. The equipment is modern, well maintained, and everything is always very clean- but it isn’t stuffy! The group classes are a great mix of fun and challenging. The instructors do a good job of keeping the energy high, while still focusing on proper technique. The highlight for me is the personal training. Laura is amazing - she is knowledgeable and has been right by my side during my weight loss/fitness journey. She is encouraging and supportive, but has also given me that extra push when I need it.
I had such a fantastic workout with Kerrie! She does an incredible job training you especially if you’re interested in hyrox. I will definitely be back soon. They have an open gym, with anything you need. And tons of variety of classes. I especially love how when the weather is nice, we do our classes outside with equipment.
