Best Athletic Club Cambridge Near Me

Becka Simon: Very straightforward, compact gym. It's a great quality gym for the convenient location and decent price. It can get a little crowded after work, and I wish there was another squat rack, but generally, I'm very satisfied with CAC.

Alexander Roederer: A good, compact gym at a reasonable price. The facilities are clean and the staff is friendly, and they've got basically all the equipment you need for weightlifting (squat racks, free weights, deadlift bars, cable machines, medicine balls and kettlebells), even if there's not tons of duplicates of things and there's limited floor space to do lifts (my only slight gripe is there's no deadlift platform, so you just have to claim a spot on the floor). It gets crowded in the after-work hours, but if your regular gym time is any other time I'd recommend it, as you'll almost never have to wait to use any particular piece of equipment, and at some off hours you'll be close to having the place to yourself. And of course there's plenty of treadmills, ellipticals, stair steppers and two rowing machines etc if cardio's your jam.EDIT: I'd increase this review to 6 stars if possible. Unfortunately I'm leaving the area, and so had to cancel my membership, but CAC made this very easy with an online cancellation form, and happily cancelled at my request, not requiring me to jump through a bunch of hoops. It is so rare to find a gym that does not try to trick you or goad you at all. So great!

Andrew McLaughlin: Positive:Professionalism,QualityJust got my first workout in during my lunch hour and had the entire place to myself. Sparkling clean, all the equipment was in great condition, and it's only steps away from my office at One Kendall Square!

Tara Maloney: CAC is one of the best gyms around! The friendly staff are always there to greet you with a smile (and fresh towel if needed), and the group fitness instructors (especially for Les Mills!!) are extremely welcoming and encouraging! During the pandemic, CAC stopped charging all of its members and provided free online/virtual group classes for its members as well as a free trial membership with Les Mills on demand. When they finally opened their doors back up, the staff went out of their way to reach out to members multiple times and provide detailed information, and even allowed members to continue to freeze their memberships until they were comfortable to come back to the gym. The quality of care at CAC is just not comparable to any other gym I’ve been a member of. Don’t hesitate to join, you won’t regret it!

Kue R: Been about 2 weeks of actual Jesus music? All praise the Lord but doesn't exactly suit lifting.Actual lyrics playing right now: lift up your voice and say Amen, God is gonna move you say Amen.Next Song: we are the voices to God he deserves our prayer. Chains cannot hold us tight. Choose to be free. We are the new kingdom.Cambridge Athletic Cult?

Alyssa Jones: Great, compact little gym. CAC is small but they have everything you need to get a good workout, and in my experience they generally aren’t over crowded, which also helps to get in a good and ENJOYABLE workout.Locker rooms are clean. As an added bonus, the staff here is exceptionally friendly and welcoming.

Mark Tebbe: The staff is friendly and welcoming, most of them welcome me by name, the place is clean and bright, good music but not too loud, plenty of equipment and trainers. Really a nice place.

Liz Jukovsky: I think that CAC is a great gym for working professionals in the area. I find the CAC team to be friendly, and the machines and equipment are reliable. My only constructive feedback would be that somehow opening up the stretching areas and maybe adding another area for TRX bands would be helpful. I also do wish this location was open on weekends - 215 First St. is a lovely location, but far enough away that it's a bit of a drag in the winter.

Thomas Dubois: All the facilities are very clean, and rarely ever busy. They have a large variety of classes that are scheduled all times of the day. Some of the weight lifting equipment is limited though, with only really one specific machine for any exercise, and some machines; such as calf raises or seated row they don't have or they only have at one particular facility. For the most part though, all the essential or typical weight lifting equipment is there.

Jhon Henao: Very clean, less than a min walk from work. Has all the necessities including showers with complimentary towels, soap and shampoo. My only complaint would be the dumbbells, they aren't organized by weight and are all over the place on the rack. They should have someone fix it every now and then while enforcing people to make sure they put the weights in the right location. Other than that I like it!

Jonathan Adams: Nice, clean location. A little on the small side but with a good schedule of classes serving the workweek schedule of surrounding Kendall Sq.

John Nicol: Positive:QualitySuper convenient private gym (members only) in the heart of Kendall Square. Nothing overly fancy but it has everything you need for a good workout -- weights area and machines area. Very unusual to have to wait for machines even at peak times. Great views facing out over the canal walk as you crank on the treadmills.

Alan Foster: Big fan of CAC and the flexible hours of this unmanned gym!

Jennifer Appel: This is a very convenient location for CAC. There are a few treadmills, bikes, and other cardio machines. As you walk further in, there's some weight equipment as well. Definitely sufficient for getting in a quick workout after work!

Matthew Akenhead: Personal trainer was very knowledgeable. He really and made sure my form was correct instead of rushing through as many exercises as he could fit in an hour.

Yuriy Nagorny: This is by far the best gym out of all the gyms I have visited. I have been to at least 30 different gyms in the last decade and have to say this one has it all. Basketball court, Racketball Court, Crosfitt huge hall, Karate rooms, dancing rooms, salsa rooms, treadmills, olympic lyfting set up, kettlebells, stones, tires, state of the art gym, free weights. They have everything for everyone, for every level of athlete, or just a casual joe who wants to be in shape. But that's not all, they have incredibly nice staff, relatively cheap prices and huge locker room with THE SAUNA AND STEAM ROOM!. I mean if someone doesn't like it, well than that person simply can not be satisfied. Highly recommend A++++++
