I have to say no to Meat house. Went twice and was extremely disappointed both times. The steak tips tasted like saw dust and the steak was tough and had a tremendous amount of waste. I will not go back.

I have agree with the two above, Sculptor at Strength is the place to be...they have yoga, fitness boxing, personal training, great monthly membership fees, and of course Edmund with his vast knowledge of fitness and nutrition always there to keep you on the right track!

I would have to say the most comfortable place i have ever worked out is SCULPTOR AT STRENGTH! There is so much to benefit from...but fitness boxing is my favorite! Not only has my physical strength improved, but my overall focus and energy level has exploded! Edmund fosters a "family" atmosphere within the walls of S@S, and is willing to contribute to the well being of the community as well.

I agree with the earlier comments that Sculptor at Strength with Edmund Duah is the best place to workout in Chelmsford. I have done cardio boxing and most recently group training sessions with Edmund. The gym has a wonderful variety of equipment and the sessions are challenging and innovative. In addition, Edmund checks in with you between workouts to make sure you are sticking to your program and staying motivated!

I can't believe I forgot my two other favorite small local businesses: Church Jewelers on Chelmsford Street and Chelmsford Animal Hospital.
Church Jewelers has offered my family warm personal service with incredible attention to detail for years. I would trust no one else with my jewelry business.
And, Chelmsford Animal Hospital has been caring for my pup for her entire life. The new facility is state-of-the-art, and the entire staff is caring and nurturing. They love the animals as much as we do!

Sichuan Palace on Summer Street is slowly becoming my favorite. We just had take-out from there the other night and their fish fillet dishes are out of this world. I've truly never tasted a more light, flaky and delicious fish dish in my life. It's incredible.
