Best of Boston

2002 Best Singles Scene

Sports Club/LA

Buff, Lycraclad CEOs ogle the quads of passing yoga addicts; yoga addicts ogle the finely tuned glutes of venture capitalists; interior designers swap tall tales of ankle twists by the pool; and male and female models struggle to understand their StairMaster readouts. Boston has never seen a fitness club like this—largely because it’s as much urban country club and schmoozefest as gym. In this top-dollar, luxury-ridden setting meld two of humanity’s greatest aphrodisiacs: money and sweat. Pound for pound, this four-star spectacle has the most muscle in town.
