I have a few regrets from college — some that we won’t talk about, others that involve not utilizing to the fullest the abundant resources that surrounded me. Namely, my school’s gym, a huge, multimillion dollar facility boasting swimming pools, basketball courts, and…other fitness stuff that I would know more about if I had used it enough. Now, I’m starting to think I should join a gym, but the thought of finding one that’s within my budget, and fits my needs, is daunting.

Depending on your workout style, you’ll most likely be able to tell upon a visit whether a gym is slacking or excessive. Perhaps you’re a simple exerciser, with simple needs, who doesn’t want a marble-floored locker room, whirlpool, and personal trainer? Or maybe the only way you’ll get to the gym is knowing that a state-of-the-art sauna is waiting for you on the other side of the elliptical. Whatever your fitness needs may be, here are some of Boston’s gyms, from the basic to the ballin’, which offer free trials and special offers, to help you figure out what might be a right fit as you try to get fit.

Now go forth and lift weights, or something!
