Editorial Summary

Why They Stand Out

"JBurdie Fitness in Medford, MA, specializes in powerlifting and competitive strength training. The facility is equipped with calibrated plates, competition-grade barbells, and a full array of racks and platforms. Coaching focuses on technique refinement and progressive overload, with credentials aligned to USA Powerlifting. The environment is serious, results-oriented, and supportive of athletes at various stages of their lifting journey. Dedicated powerlifting equipment and expert coaching tailored for maximal strength development."

Community Feedback

"I am not an athletic person, or a fitness person, but I love this gym. I've never really lifted free weights before. Since I started lifting here a few months ago, it's become one of my favorite things. The gym is focused on correct form, so you get the most benefit from your training. I was concerned about hurting myself, trying to do too much or lifting incorrectly. The JBF trainers teach everyone the proper form for the major lifts. The classes include a variety of complementary exercises, creating a balanced, efficient workout. And there's a tremendous, welcoming community, unlike any other gym I've been to."

"I've been going to JBF since 2021 (4+ years) and can't this gym recommend enough! When I first started, I was very intimidated by powerlifting (lifting in general) and from the first day felt very welcomed and engaged. I started out with semi-private because I was very insecure that I did not know what I was doing. That quickly melted away and I now enjoy the small group training classes. Jessie and the other trainers are super patient, knowledgeable, and adjust workouts to what needs/limitations you may have. They encourage you realize your own potential - whether it's nudging you to try adding more weight to he bar, tailoring a program to your goals, or teaching you correct form so you can feel empowered to do more. That is outstanding to me about JBF is the community Jessie and the other trainers have built at this gym. Everyone has different goals (become stronger, train to compete, get general strength training in, etc.) and they've all been respected and supported. It's rare to have a gym/community where you can feel safe, supported, and have such good laughs in every class. I look forward to each class knowing that I will be surrounded by good people, good vibes, and be satisfyingly sore the next day."

"JBF is an amazing gym, community, and space to improve your fitness! Jessie is very knowledgeable and pushes you to realize your true potential! “You’re stronger than you think” comes to life when working with any of the coaches here!"
