Four plates.

Cheap, reasonable amount of machines, free weights (tops off at 60 pounds for dumbbells). Olympic bars/plates. Has everything that the usual Gold's has at one quarter the price in most cases, including Smith Machines. Far too many treads, bikes and stair steppers, but that's a minor complaint. Remove a few thousand and add additional machines. Equipment is new and well kept.

Silly "lunk alarm" has got to go as do the pizza nights. The issue with weight dropping is a frequent one at any gym so any complaints here are not unusual. Sorry PF, but grunting is an integral part of lifting. Drop the attitude and focus on the "'roid boys".

Not much for health drinks and/or supplements, but you're better off buying those online and bringing it to the gym anyway. Far cheaper and, of course, a better selection.

No sauna or steam room. I can do without both as well as no yoga, pilates, etc.

Generally has $99 specials, which considering the cost of gym memberships at places like FitCorp and BSC, is outstanding though BSC does have raquetball and hoop courts among other amenities and the Federal St FC has an indoor track or at least used too.

If they increase the weight restriction, which they won't, or add more machines, goes to a five. Stacking dumbbells will take care of the first problem, though technically it's not allowed and you're liable to get bounced if caught.

Update: adjusted dumbbell weight limit from 80 to 60. Stretching is available in the PF Express area; removed incorrect passage.

You are in the ghetto of Roxbury so be careful. The people here are mostly Blacks. You won't see many white people in the center.Their memberships are cheap but it does not look like a typical gym. It's great to exercice if you are doing track. The weighting room is not cool. I don't like it because it's small and the guys will just stare at you like crazy. I also was not impress with the cardio machines. Truereview here to tell you the truth.

The gym looks scary, it looks bad in the basement like most gyms. It's clean. The locker rooms and restrooms look really bad. They have tvs and you can watch music videos from their own tv channel gold gym tv. The music videos are pretty old but it's mixed. The manager is not bad but was hypocrite and did not want me to use a 7 day pass. Gold gym has 7 day passes on their website why this dude refused to let me use it to try out the gym. He was more interested on having me join the club. He was talking about student discounts. I hate being pressured dude. Truereview here to tell you the truth.

Good Bally. Nice staff. There is 2 floors. One level cardio and one level is weight lifting with some cardio machines. It's clean. A cleaner is cleaining all the time. They are affordable. 1 week, 2 weeks and sometimes one month free pass are available. If you lose something they will keep the item at the front desk. Tv's available as well as personal trainers. Be careful with their contracts it's the worst part.

If you want beauty supplies, shampoos, conditioners, deep conditionings, hair colors, wigs, weaves, extensions, front lace wigs and more Beauty Supply Market is the right place for you. Their prices are good and lots of selections. They have another sites on 974 Bluehill Avenue in Boston MA 02124. I also posted a review. The girl at the cash register is not bad she will say thankyou and bye. The girls on the back will help you choose the color and the style of weave or braids but they can be very rude when you want to see different styles and colors and lenghts. They are Asians and I noticed nice customer service is something Asians lack. Black people buy from you guys like crazy why don't you show a little respect? A hi, bye and thankyou should not be so hard to say. It's unfortunate how Asians disrespect Blacks with all their businesses (beauty supplies and nails salons).

First of all this beautyshop is for blacks, africans customers. White people just like we all know go to a white hairstylist to do their hair.I did not get my hair done at that place thank god, but unfortunately my friend did and yes I was with her. So I could see everything, I saw what the big hairstylist was doing to her hair. She is so careless. My friend needed a perm I think or a wash and set. Her hair are thin and short so no excuses from any hairstylist. The hairstylist shampooed her hair then rinsed and you are not going to believe this. She left shampoo on my friend's hair on the sides near the ears. What is wrong with you woman? Where did you get your license and diploma? At careless beauty school? I am sure you pay attention to your food more than your customer's hair. People please don't go there, you will lose your hair with shampoo left on your hair.

Great Barbers shop in a great location. Not normally open on a saturday but Ronny was there tidying up and was happy to help me out. He was a really nice guy. Very friendly. Happy to talk with me - he was not in a rush to get me out the door. Can't tell you much about the shop itself - I was too busy talking. Go check it out for yourself.

Hands down the best barber shop in the North End and one of the best in all of Boston. Even if you disregard the the amazing style of the place, being old fashioned and cutting edge at the same time, you will still get a perfect haircut at a great price from any of the barbers there. You will probably run into a line when you go, but only because they have so many loyal clients. You will have plenty to do during your wait, whether its reading one of many magazines, using the internet station, watching some sports on plasma TVs, or just listening to some great rock on their satellite radio. Take my advice, give this place a shot. You will never go to another shop again.
