Gstarfit

In the end, the Dedham District Court decided in my wife’s favor, deciding that GStarFit had no business taking the money. It took nine trips to the courthouse, thanks to Gregg’s failure to show up and subsequent failure to pay the amount due, before the claim was settled. Buyer beware!

This studio has hands down, the most AMAZING spin class I have ever taken. The space is great and the instructor takes you through in less than an hour where you go into a complete trance and walk out dripping with sweat and feeling incredible.
So, why only 2 stars? The memberships to access this amazing spin class are somewhat inflexible. I purchased a living social voucher for 10 classes in September but did not redeem it until November due to my work schedule. I thought I had plenty of time since the voucher did not expire until December. I found out later that the classes had to be taken by December 14^th which would have been mathematically impossible for me. The voucher did not clearly state this so I was caught off guard. The owner offered to credit me towards a membership, but because of my work schedule and the high cost, a membership does not really work.
So, I am disappointed in this studio’s lack of flexibility in their packages and the timeframes in which they need to be used. It’s unfortunate, because the class on its own is 5+ stars.

There is something here for everyone. All of the trainers at gstarfit are true elites in the training world. Whatever your size, weight, ability, goals, there is something here for you. The gym is not particularly large which I believe is better for hands on personal training, and for one to workout efficiently without interruption.
The spin classes are truly top class. They are always full and Gregg cranks the music which allows you to really get in the zone and have an almost euphoric experience. By the end I was totally drenched in sweat and my legs were feeling great.
The gym is very clean and even though it is small, it really does have everything you need to have a diverse workout. I would personally recommend Gstarfit to anyone who is trying to get back into shape or working towards a specific fitness goal.

A couple of years ago, while working in the area, my manager talked to me about spinning; he was a fan and having spoken to him about my fitness goals, he thought that it would be a good idea. I accepted and off we went to Gstarfit. It was only a short ride from the office an after parking, we walked in and I got to meet the owner/​founder Gregg.
Gregg is unlike anyone I’ve met in the fitness profession. He comes off as a hard ass but is, in fact just intense. And nice. After a short chat with him about his gym and how they operate, I could immediately tell that he knew his stuff and had quite a bit of experience in the field. He essentially created Gstarfit around his stylish vision of what a gym should and could be like. Gone are the neon-​lit, depression concrete walls that you find everyone and instead you’ll find a lot of wood in the décor, some mirrors and some pretty stylish furniture. It gives the whole place a very original look unlike anything I’ve seen in gyms. And while the place isn’t huge, it definitely does the job. It has multiple room including one that is dedicated to spinning and which features about twenty or so bikes.
Décor aside, the gym itself is clean and there’s all kinds of equipment available for anyone looking to do either cardio or lifting. Pretty standard and nothing out of the ordinary there. They also offer classes, anywhere from 1 to 6. It varies depending on the day of the week and the schedule is quite inconsistant. They only offer one class on Tuesdays somehow, but six on Mondays? Must be a staffing thing. Speaking of which, they have trainers available for private instructing if necessary.
Last but not least is their rates, which vary from $ 50 (students) to $ 150 per month for the a-​list tier which gives you the right to reserve a bike for spin class. While more expensive than your average gym… well… this isn’t your average gym. It is a lot more intimate and they give you a lot more personal attention there. I would have totally remained as a member there had I not changed jobs — honestly, if you can afford it, you should definitely check it out, especially if you work or live in the area, or happen to drive on ⁹⁵⁄₁₂₈ near Dedham/​Needham/​Waltham/​Newton.

I am very surprised to read the negative reviews and what a bad experience these members have encountered. I feel very fortunate to be on the other side, the positive side of the fence here.
I have been spinning for quite some time, over a decade actually and gstarfit is the most intense spinning class I have ever taken. It is quite the challenge. I have been a member for only a short time, a few weeks, but thus far I rate gstarfit a 5.
It is a small gym which provides a sense of personalized attention and quaintness. Which I enjoy.

I had bad experiences here. D’Andrea stiffed me twice, for a total of four personal training sessions I paid for in full but never received. When the trainers quit (and I have to wonder why), he gave me all kinds of reasons that GStarFit was «not responsible» for the remaining sessions. He would not allow the trainer who was quitting to come in and finish my training sessions. He told her to take me with her to her new gym and THEN he had the nerve to try and charge me $ 199 for «membership cancellation fee!!!» Seems he is more interested in collecting fees and selling supplements than in providing service.
