Community Feedback
"I’ve been a member at Monument Fitness for about 7 months, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and fitness. The coaches are truly next level. They’re knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in every member’s progress—whether you’re brand new to working out or have years of experience. You never feel lost or overlooked, and the coaching cues and encouragement make a huge difference. What really sets Monument apart, though, is the community. From day one, it’s been welcoming, supportive, and motivating. It’s the kind of place where people actually want to see you succeed, and that energy makes showing up consistently easy. The classes are well-structured, challenging, and fun. They strike a great balance between pushing you to improve while still being approachable for all fitness levels. I’ve seen real results in strength, conditioning, and overall confidence since joining. If you’re looking for a gym that combines expert coaching, a strong community, and workouts that actually deliver results, Monument Fitness is it. I’d recommend it to anyone, no matter where you’re starting from."

"My daughter has been going to the teen class for 2 years now and loves it. They push them physically and mentally which has been great for her athletic performance. She plays Division 1 girls hockey in boston and this past season has been her best by far. Off ice training is very important. Stacey and Aaron know exactly how to motivate and push them. It keeps them off their phone and engaged with their peers. It also teaches them how to motivate not only themselves but their team mates. This in turn will make them effective leaders. The gym has grown over the years and with more than enough equipment and experience to go around the class does not lag or slow up for any reason. My daughter can’t wait to get to class and that in itself shows you how great Monumnet fitness is."

"I joined Monument Fitness when I first moved to Charlestown, and it quickly became so much more than just a gym. Through this community, I’ve made many friends, and it truly helped Charlestown feel like home. The owners, Stacey and Aaron, genuinely care about their members and create an environment that’s welcoming, supportive, and motivating. I’m especially grateful for the 1 on 1 coaching support that Stacey provided me, helping me feel my strongest for my wedding (and helping me get my first strict pull up!). Stacey’s love for fitness is contagious—she somehow got me moving even at 5:30am on the days I definitely didn’t want to be. I’ll always be grateful to Monument Fitness for the role they’ve played in my fitness journey and for the incredible community they brought into my life here in Charlestown."
