I joined the Brookline Healthworks when it opened back in 1990 and thought it was terrific back then. A few years later they opened Back Bay, and I thought that was the best, until they revamped Porter Square. But none can compare to the beautiful facility in Chestnut Hill. They have terrific classes (though Cambridge still has more classes) with great instructors. They have all the latest equipment, and on many cardio machines you can watch movies and a variety of t.v. channels. The locker room and wet area are like a spa (great jacuzzi). The actual spa is nice, though small. It is very expensive, but you really do get what you pay for.
