Lifted Fitness

I worked out at a Crossfit gym for two years but left to join Lifted because all of the trainers (which include the owners Mo and Pat) have relevant degrees and are always actively engaged in the workouts by demonstrating movements; giving instructions on making necessary adjustments; and providing genuine motivation. These guys do their homework and continually incorporate movements that deliver great results without injury. There are a lot of personal training and group fitness options in Boston, but if top notch instructors are what you are looking for, then Lifted is your place.

Lifted South Boston opened up about a year ago near my home. I took a class on ClassPass and was hooked. The classes are smaller in size (15 max) and allow for personal attention from the great trainers, which is excellent if you are new to weight-​lifting as I was. Pat and Mo are both incredibly knowledgable about proper form and will inspire you to achieve results with each class. I’m a huge fan of the Strength sessions which are held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Each class consists of a warm-​up, three 3 exercise rounds and a finisher. The rounds work your entire body through weight lifting and cardio/​core drills that support the weight exercises, allowing you to achieve a full body work-​out in just 45 minutes. The gym is clean and well-​equipped and your fellow students are supportive rather than competitive. This is by far my favorite workout to date (and I’ve tried Barre, Cycling, Yoga, Pilates, etc.). You’ll leave feeling accomplished and energized… and looking forward to the next class.

Cannot say enough good things about Lifted. The classes are small, welcoming, challenging and fun. The location is super convenient for anyone living in Southie or the Seaport, plus there is plenty of parking. Most importantly, the trainers/​owners are great guys. They bring amazing energy to every single class and clearly know what they are talking about. Highly recommend Lifted to anyone looking for an intense, but fun workout!

I was visiting the area for work and a co-​worker suggested visiting this local «boot camp» style gym. Your first class is free so it’s a great idea if you’re just visiting the area or if you’re looking to switch gyms or tackle a New Year’s resolution. The gym is small, clean and owned/​operated by two younger guys. We did a Tabata style work out that kicked my a$$ but it was a lot of fun and had a good vibe. (Fist pounding sweaty people who were strangers 21 minutes and 20 second before.) I wish the owners the best of luck in their endeavor and recommend that anyone reading this give them a try, what do you have to lose? (Besides some turkey weight…)

This gym has really great small classes. I visited during a business trip and took a class with Mo. The class was small enough where the instructor was able to take a minute and check in with me, and walked around offering suggestions to the students. I liked that they list the type of work out for the day (strength or metcon, etc.), and that they focus on specific skills and movements. The class was long enough such that I felt that I got in a solid workout, and challenging enough such that I was neither bored nor frustrated. You can tell that Mo is experienced because he motivated the class with feedback rather than thoughtless barking to «work harder.» I’ve taken a few other group fitness classes in Boston and this was my favorite.

I cannot say enough good things about Lifted!!! Both Pat and Mo are AWESOME guys that create a fun and effective workout environment. My fiancé and I leave every group class drenched in sweat and 110% satisfied with the full body workout we just experienced. Through ClassPass, I’ve been to many great classes at studios across Boston, and I can confidently say that Lifted is a cut above the rest. In fact I’ve decided to start buying packages directly through Lifted because coming here 3x per month via ClassPass is not nearly enough! Pat and Mo are trained professionals who really know their stuff when it comes to fitness and it shows in the quality of the workouts they organize and the hands-​on instruction they provide. The group classes truly feel like personal training — any time I have a question, need a heavier weight, could use a modification, etc. it seems they are a step ahead of me and already on top of it. Pat and Mo each do a fantastic job of keeping everyone motivated for the full 45 minutes — there’s always a great energy in the room. Importantly, they take the time to get to know everyone in class and personally invest in your health. They’ve invested in excellent equipment as well. Clearly I could go on and on… bottom line, try a class, you will not regret it!

Lifted classes are awesome. I hate working out and (reluctantly ;) went to the first class when they opened and a couple weeks later I was hooked. I usually go 3 – 5 days a week, they alternate days between strength and conditioning. They create full body workouts and demonstrate each exercise so you know you’re doing everything correctly. It’s a laid back atmosphere and not intimidating at all. The classes are challenging and it’s easy to push yourself no matter what your skill level is. I went in without ever doing a burpee and now 5 months later I am super toned, feel healthier, happier and stronger than I’ve ever been! Mo and Pat are great at teaching the classes, it’s easy to make working out a habit. I SO recommend their gym!

I have trained at other gyms before but I have never enjoyed it as much as I have at Lifted. Pat and Mo are incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, energetic, kind, and most importantly, professional. Pat and Mo make you feel very comfortable and I look forward to my weekly sessions with them both. These guys are the real deal, look no further.

I have been going to Lifted Fitness for almost 2 months and have seen great results. I am considerably leaner and feel infinitely better physically.
The group sessions at Lifted Fitness are fantastic. Mo and Pat design your workouts so all you need to do is sign up and show up with a good attitude. The workouts are efficiently designed to get you a great, full body workout in 45 minutes. They’re also intelligently designed since the dynamic exercises translate very will to everyday movements and you continue to burn calories after you leave the gym as your body recovers. Further, while the workouts certainly push you, the exercises are very safe and there is very little risk of injury. Mo and Pat can also modify the exercises for individuals if needed. You will definitely leave feeling challenged and tired but not overworked.
The business model gives you personal training at an amazing price. Group sessions provide you with the attention of a personal trainer while distributing the cost among the entire group. There is one trainer per class that will watch the entire group (limited to 15 people per session) and provide coaching as needed, which is much more cost effective than a one-​on-​one session. I typically go about 4 times a week and am on the unlimited plan, which works out to be a little over $ 10 per class. If you go less frequently, you can buy passes in packages for about $ 15 per pass. Also, the first session is free and the first month is discounted. The value is awesome when you consider that one personal training session generally starts at about $ 60 per hour and goes up from there.
Finally, Mo and Pat provide a great customer experience. They both possess a strong knowledge about fitness since both have been studying and working in the industry for years. They also foster an inclusive, encouraging environment that pushes you to work harder as opposed to an overly competitive environment. You will appreciate the way they push you but won’t feel discouraged from coming back.
I somewhat reluctantly write this review because I do not want increased competition for my spots in group sessions, but Mo and Pat deserve the credit. They truly provide a great service at an awesome price.

For being a person that is easily our of breath (aka out of shape), I can’t believe how content I’ve been at Lifted. The fellas that run the gym, Pat and Mo, are incredible people and trainers. Not only are they supportive of beginners to experts, they are also very kind and have a great energy that keeps you motivated. You are never alone, the guys are always nearby to offer help and suggestions. They have a wonderful way to make you feel comfortable and have made me excited to go to the gym!
The facility where the gym is at is awesome. IT IS ACTUALLY CLEAN AND SMELLS NICE. The guys have a great way of keeping it this way. They also have several stations of weight racks and variety of ‘toys’ to keep working out varied and unpredictable.
The classes are challenging yet doable. Like I mentioned, the variety of workouts are the best. It really keeps setting the bar a little higher and allows for you to always get a full body workout I guarantee you’ll walk out a little weak in the knees but stronger then you walked you! You can’t go wrong joining lifted!!!

The real deal!!! Lifted’s classes are fun, intense, and varied so you won’t get bored doing the same thing over and over again. The classes are capped at a small size so the trainers offer a ton of individual attention, giving the class a personal-​trainer vibe for a fraction of the price. I was hesitant to start strength training because I didn’t want to bulk up, but these guys KNOW what they’re doing. I’ve been training with Pat for over a year now and have lost more inches/​felt stronger than I have after committing to any other exercise routine (spinning, barre, running…). Pat and Mo are genuinely smart and dedicated professionals who know how to have a good time but push you hard at the same time. Hands down best gym in Boston– check it out you won’t regret it!

Pat and Mo are the best trainers in Boston! They provide judgement free training in a welcoming environment and are ready to meet the needs of all fitness levels. The classes provide a wide range of different exercises you don’t see in normal gyms and they make exercising fun. The turf makes me feel like I’m an NFL player!

I have been a member at multiple gyms in Boston and I have to say that I firmly believe Lifted is the best one! The trainers are absolutely fantastic… very knowledgable, friendly, and motivating. The strength and conditioning group classes are always fun and challenging –I always leave feeling like I got the best work out. The gym is very clean and all equipment is brand new. It’s extremely convenient with parking and also right next to bus stops. Go to Lifted you definitely will not regret it!

Pat at Lifted Fitness is amazing! I’ve been training with Pat at his North End location for almost a year and love it. I have seen great results and I have never felt stronger or healthier. Before finding Pat, I would let work stress be the excuse not to exercise regularly. Now, I can honestly say I look forward to working out with Pat. He has a passion and an energy for fitness that is contagious. Each workout challenges you with different exercises and is most importantly fun. Needless to say I followed him to his new location in Southie!
