Cambridge Renovation

188

May 9, 2023 We’re excited to share that our Healthworks Cambridge renovations will begin on Monday morning, May 15 in the upstairs entry lobby of the club. Please note that this will have no impact on your workouts or our Mental Health Awareness Week happenings May 16-18. Renovations will start in the downstairs, basement lobby on Tuesday, May 16, and you will begin checking into the club at a new desk upstairs.

Below we’ve mapped out our renovation period in three phases, and we hope to have everything completed by early-September.

  • Phase 1 (May-June): Our new front desk and Mind/Body Studio will be created along with preparation work for future phases throughout the club. We do not expect this work to have an impact on your workout experience but you will experience noise and a traffic flow change when checking into the club.
  • Phase 2 (June-July): Studio 1, Studio 2, Trainer Office, Strength Training Area, Showers, Whirlpool, and Sauna closed and under construction. The new Mind/Body studio will be open and we are working on a new June 1 HWX class schedule.
  • Phase 3 (July-September): Remainder of the fitness floor and old cycle studio will be closed and under construction. All three new studios will be open!

With this renovation, our club will soon feature:

  • Three new dedicated studios – Main, Cycle and Mind/Body
  • An expanded strength area with more benches and 6 squat racks with platforms
  • A large, open turf area to stretch and workout
  • New showers, whirlpool and sauna
  • Day lockers featured on the second floor for your convenience
  • A new member lounge to relax in
  • A new front desk and staff work areas, allowing us to provide better member service

Your summer workout options: Healthworks Cambridge will remain open throughout the renovation period, but we understand it may impact your workout routine. To help you through the summer, below are the following options.

  • During Phase 2 & 3, we will operate a pop-up gym located in a building one block from the club. Details will be shared with members as this phase gets closer!
  • All Cambridge members have complimentary access to other our other Healthworks Group clubs, which include Healthworks Coolidge Corner and Back Bay, GymIt Watertown and Brookline, and Republic Fitness in Downtown Boston (note you must use your barcode to check in at GymIt, they cannot look you up)
  • HWX Summer Series is back with classes launching in June and more to come!
  • HWX Digital Studio is included with your membership, with 1000s of on demand and live, in-club classes you can take anywhere you go this summer
  • If the above options don’t provide you with what you’re looking for, we are also offering a no-cost membership freeze from June 1 through the end of August
