Sanctuary by VIM

I was directed to this location by the Le Meridien hotel, and found myself really enjoying it. I hope to return. Benji made me feel welcomed from the start. It is a small but modern facility and is very clean. Perfect gym location coming from my hotel stay. Nice and quiet around 2 p.m.-- I felt like I had the gym to myself.

Great Gym my experience has been nothing but positive. I don't do any personal training or classes so cannot speak to that. The entire gym is very modern and has a very cool atmosphere to it. There's all the equipment you need for strength and cardio training which is what I focus on. The crowd ranges from people starting off on their fitness goals to some serious regulars. I haven't had many negative experience other than getting asked my trainers on multiple occasions if I was interested in a "fitness evaluation" which was a minor annoyance. Love it. Have been going for over a year and will continue to do so!

I've been a member here for almost a year, and I must say that this is the best gym in Central Square, way better than BSC and the YMCA. The facilities are great, the showers and locker rooms are close to spotless, and the instructors are wonderful. The gym seems to attract a nice crowd, instead of intimidating meathead types. People seem to be very friendly and judgement-free. You can tell that the people in charge at VIM really care about the place and their patrons.

a great price for start of the art equipment and a funky interior (reminds me of the bat cave). There are two locations - I prefer the one closer to Prospect St. There is a class schedule and a free fitness assessment. Really a better deal than the BSC further up the street.

I would never recommend this gym to anyone!! The VIM manager is a total creep and extremely disrespectful. I came in to get info for my husband and I. While on tour there manager Brian referenced my 10 lbs I needed to lose over and over. When it came down to going over the prices I explained to him I needed to talk this over with my husband. The manager then replied "do you have ask your husband every time you spend money?" I was really turned off by that, but the gym by itself is really nice. Later that night I received a text message from the manager thanking me for coming in. I thought that was somewhat nice but out of line. But the following day I received 3 more text including a shirt less pics and 3 blocked calls from the manager begging me to train with him. I never gave him permission to text me. I was really creeped out and turned off by VIM. I reached out to the owner in which he down played it by saying " this is his first week" and then said " come back in and let me give you and your husband a gift to make this up." I am really shocked at the behavior of the staff at VIM. I would warn all you ladies not to give your info to them. They will steal it for there own personal use!! Cambridge has many other gyms. Stay away from this one!!!!!!
