Solid Body Fitness

One year later, this gym has changed my life. I hesitate to even write a review of how awesome SBF is since I hate going to crowded gyms and don’t want more people to show up, but… they deserve a good review.
Last January I walked in the door in need of some serious help turning my life around. I had fallen back into the familiar pattern of eating terribly and not exercising all winter long and was, to be frank, fat. In a bad way. Jason (the owner) showed me how to use an arc trainer and their weight machine circuit, and introduced me to Danielle (the manager) and Caitlin (their dietician). I awkwardly did what I could.
I came back. Again and again, slowly adding a few reps, or a few pounds, or another resistance level, working out mid-​morning when I knew crowds were light. Caitlin helped me solve the mystery of what I should and should not eat. Everyone I met was happy to give me advice and encouragement. Exercise became a routine.
By late summer I was down 40 pounds and strong enough to try CrossFit. I built muscles where I’d never had them before. People started to notice. I started running out of clothes that fit. I made friends.
Fast forward to today: I’m 75 pounds lighter, no longer obese, and I have actual visible muscles. My doctors give me compliments. I am, no exaggeration, in the best shape of my entire life. It’s entirely because I walked up those stairs last January. The people that run this place are simply so good at what they do that they made me, a lifelong gym-​hater, want to come back — and want to do more. That’s impressive.
Now stop reading gym reviews on Unilocal and get in there.

I am in town for my son’s wedding and needed a good workout and thanks to the SBF team I achieved that goal.
Amazing team highly recommended for drop ins and joining if you live in the area

Love this gym! I recommend to everyone in the area. Im a big fan of the value, the attention to detail, professionalism, and location!
Cant wait to do my abs tomorrow!

I absolutely LOVE Solid Body Fitness in Dedham. Everyone is very supportive and knowledgeable. I was intimidated at first to do «Cross Fit» but this is not your typical military scary atmosphere for Cross Fit. I have never felt uncomfortable, always supported, they focus on my form to ensure i don’t hurt myself and encourage me to push myself at a pace i’m comfortable with. I have a few issues physically and they always adapt the workout to ensure I can do it safely. I feel better, building muscle, toning up and have alot more energy. The class sizes are small and I always get proper coaching from the highly skilled trainer. Some folks think it’s a high price BUT when you break it down in your head to a per class price it’s a great deal. I am getting a personal trainer & phenomenal workout for a great price when you break it down. I paid $ 110 at the YMCA and NEVER worked out hard. It was throwing my money out the window.
Solid Body Fitness cares, it’s a clean/​new facility, the trainers are highly skilled, the workouts will kick your butt but you will feel so empowered after! There are folks from all ages, sizes, athletic levels at SBF. You will NOT feel intimidated– you will always feel welcome.
I highly recommend everyone to join!

I like all the instructors there, even though my body is so weak, but your peers are always nice to you and encourage you to achieve the goal.

SBF changed my life! I felt encouragement from day 1. I have grown my skill set due to the amazing trainers. I recommend SBF to anyone who wants to be part of an outstanding fitness community.

I’ve been going to Solid Body Fitness and CF Solid Body for close to a year.
This gym has completely changed my life.
I’ve taken control of my eating, I’ve achieved strength and fitness goals I never thought possible, and most importantly I’ve become part of a community who supports one another inside and outside the gym.
All of the trainers bring extensive experience and education to bear, emphasizing safety first while challenging you to reach higher and farther than you consider possible. Danielle’s WOD programming is amazing. It challenges and rewards at the same time.
The variety of classes is fantastic. Yoga, Kettlebell, and Olympic Lifting complement the daily WODs, rounding out a complete fitness regimen.
If you are looking to join a community that shares successes, kicks your butt, and raises your physical and mental abilities, I highly recommend you give Team Solid Body a try.

A great group fitness studio for the average person who wants to get in shape. Very clean space. Huge windows let in lots of natural light. Brand new bathrooms.
My favorite part about the staff: Their sincere support during workouts. I participate in the yoga class and have watched their group workouts. The trainers are trully devoted to their work and your health.
Don’t be scared off by their out of place location– just follow the signs. Think of the Third floor walk-​up as the beginning of your total body transformation.
Definitely worth a try!

I have been to other gyms before and nothing compares to Solid Body Fitness. The trainers are awesome and the workouts are the best. When you go to SBF, you’re not just working out the body, but also the mind-​a great way to feel healthy.

This is the place to go if you want to seriously take charge of your body. Not only have I lost weight, but inches and feel the strongest I’ve felt since I was a college athlete. The staff is amazing and will help you achieve all your goals. I used to pay $ 10/​month to a gym and never went. This is worth every penny!

I started going to Solid Body Fitness about 2 months ago. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get into shape and improve their overall health. I enjoy going there and having my work outs designed ahead of time by knowledgeable trainers. You get a full body workout every time you go there and they are only about 45 minutes. SBF has a great, enthusiastic staff who really enjoy their profession.

Absolutely the best workouts, the best trainers, and the best facility I’ve ever been to. Get ready to sweat!

I would highly recommend Solid Body Fitness. My husband and I have been going to SBF for the past 5 months. The trainers are great at what they do. They create a workout plan based on individual goals. Workouts usually last between 40 minutes to 1 hour. SBF has not only made us feel stronger and healthier physically, but also mentally. It feels like being a part of a family. We really enjoy working out there.
