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. Cambridge has the best class schedule of all the Healthworks clubs, and they have it all (yoga, pilates, ballet, Strong Women, cardio classes). The equipment is cramped, but I guess it's better than not having enough equipment. The front desk is very friendly. Of course, parking is a nightmare in the Porter Square lot, but you can always find a space. Healthworks always tries to stay ahead and offers the latest equipment and classes.
