SoWa Health + Wellness by far is the best gym I’ve ever been to! Hands down a top-tier, upscale experience. After experiencing this gym it will be extremely hard to workout anywhere else due to the lovely customer service, exceptional locker rooms, infrared sauna, recovery room, cleanliness, wide range of classes, variety of machines and workout equipment, and so many more perks! As a first time guest, I loved every bit of what the gym has to offer and will highly consider getting a membership in the future because SoWa Health + Wellness is simply the GREATNESS. If you’re visiting from out of town be aware of the parking situation and ensure you don’t spend over three hours or your parking ticket could cost you a solid $40. Above all, I highly recommend this gym for gym goers in and out of town! You won’t regret it! Whether you chose a day pass, weekly pass, or become a member of the gym— it’s worth it!

Love SoWa and in particular, the personal training team!! I’ve been training with Gabi since April and have seen results and progression despite being pregnant and postpartum. Her programming is thoughtful and effective. She excellently navigated my prenatal workouts and has already helped me make progress ten weeks postpartum. I highly recommend training with the team at SoWa!

Joining Sowa was the best decision I made during my time in Boston. It was convenient location wise but the overall vibe of the place is what sold me. The staff and trainers are very intentional & make the environment very positive. I trained with Taylor who is lovely. Listened to my goals & created plans that work really well for me. She’s super friendly too!! All of the team is worth the investment. The place has great amenities including well stocked showers, parking, a sauna, recovery rooms & even golf simulators. They recently expanded and there’s so much space now. Great gym in the South End.

This place is fantastic. you can get a squat rack / treadmill at peak hours without any difficulty, which I think says it all. Equipment feels brand new and there’s everything you could possibly want. staff is friendly + parking options.

I've been a member since early this year, and it is hands down one of the best gyms I've been to in Boston (used to belong to Equinox)! The staff is super friendly and the facilities are incredible. Notably, I love having access to the Hyperice recovery room, the cold plunge/sauna, and the golf simulator. They recently expanded their space with a state of the art upstairs facility. They invited all members to the expansion party earlier this month and it was such an amazing event. I'm so grateful to be a member here!
