Boston Sports Clubs Reviews

I had a wonderful experience with the Boston Sports Clubs. They were humble in nature and good trainer. They understood the problem I had regarding my body. Their timing was good which matched my timing. I had no issue rather it helped me. I would really refer others to join this club. Price was reasonable and affordable.

I signed up for a one month membership just for my college winter break. This membership ended in January. I was charged at least once every month after January. The first couple times I contacted them at least once and was reimbursed. Then, it happened again in March and April. Mind you, the gym shouldn’t be charging anyone in April as per the company’s statement. The gym is literally closed and still charging people.

Updated on 02/16/2020: Boston Sports Clubs took MORE money OUT of my bank account than I gave permission for. Once they have your bank account information, watch out!! I am an Air Force veteran on a fixed budget and my account is a mess because Boston Sports Clubs STOLE my money! Be careful and beware! When I spoke to membership they def had an “I don’t care" attitude!!!

Signed up for membership a few years ago. Could not get to gym frequently enough. Signed contract at $39. They kept changing the fees up to $69 per month without new contract. Tried to call to resign... Told could only do so in writing at the gym. Finally was able to get to gym 3 weeks later. Had to pay $10 to resign. I did this over 1 month ago. Now I see a new charge on my credit card for a monthly fee. I did not even feel I was still under contract since I never had a contract at this price. This is an unfair billing practice! Be VERY careful signing any membership contract at this gym. My club was the Wayland gym but I was told this was corporate practice for all the gyms.

I have been in contact with various people at BSC. I am a family of 7; five children under age 18 and have been paying extremely high fees. I canceled our membership back in June 2019 and paid the $10 cancellation fee and was still billed the monthly fee for all 7 of the family members thru November 2019. I just learned by reading Consumer Affairs that I am not the only one who has been taken advantage of.

HORRIBLE!!! My registration date was Dec or Jan 2019, I gave them 45 days in advance cancellation notice on Nov 11th, 2019 but they charged me $70 for next year's annual fee that I am not going to be a member for. There was a cancellation $10 cancellation fee, which they will charge you right away plus 45 days fee after that!! Most of the members are dissatisfied. See Google reviews. They don't care these reviews and stars.

This club is the worst!!! They continue to charge membership fees long after canceling the membership and offer no solution to this issue. Their best advice is to dispute the charges with my bank. This is such a consumer rip-off!!!

I cancelled my membership in July in person and was told that it was taken care of. I noticed a couple months later that I was still getting charged for the membership. I called and explained I had cancelled and I was told that I would be reimbursed for the months I had been charged after cancelling. A month has gone by and I have still not been reimbursed-- in fact I just got charged AGAIN for this month. It's also hard to get in touch with managers to get this straightened out. This is extremely frustrating.

BSC - Newton Highlands, MA. It just sad that while a lot of sports club are trying, to keep up with higher standards and demands, BSC seems to be in a worse position in regards to customer service and management. As a matter of fact we paid a monthly membership for my son while he attended high school. First year, monthly fee was $19.99 based on a student rate. After a year rates went up to $39.99 which we didn't get notification until we were charged monthly. I called and found out that we needed to show a proof that my son was still in high school.

I was a BSC member in Somerville, MA for more than 3 years. The gym, staff and members were all great. In June of 2019 things changed greatly. The sauna was the most important part of my membership, until young men started using phones in there (below a sign reading 'No Cell Phone Use"). At first I ignored, but realized one evening that photos were being taken by one of the young members. I had only a towel over my shoulder. In fear, I immediately went to staff and demanded that they ask him to exit the sauna and instruct him not to use it in the locker room again. To my enormous surprise the manager denied my request. Staff members refused to do either of those two things, and explained "there is no action we can take". In disbelief I ended my membership right then and there. Photos taken in the Sauna - disgusting!!
