Starting Strength Boston

About

Starting Strength Boston is a Newton strength gym that pitches itself as a place to get a coach rather than another gym membership. Clients receive personalized programming and dedicated coaching: the staff programs every workout and coaches every rep, and each person trains on their own platform in a personal-training format. The gym’s stated aim is to build the strength people need for the life they want.

The program welcomes people regardless of age or fitness level. Client testimonials on the gym’s site describe measured changes in body composition, such as one client losing six pounds of fat while gaining 16.5 pounds of muscle, and others call the experience transformative. Another client, Kathy, lost 3.7 pounds of fat and gained 2.6 pounds of muscle. The approach is deliberately stripped down, offering everything needed to get stronger and nothing more.

What to Know

  • There are no treadmills, Bosu balls, fads or gimmicks in the gym.
  • The gym advertises measurable results and guarantees them.
  • The Starting Strength brand offers information to people interested in owning a gym in their own city.
