On the hunt for a new gym? An upscale option is coming to Boston’s backyard.

Life Time Athletic is headed for Chestnut Hill, and it will be among the chain’s swankiest locations in the country. The sweat palace will officially open in spring 2017, but you can get on the waitlist now.

Clocking in at 129,000 square feet, Life Time will house seven studios for group fitness, yoga, cycling, Pilates, barre, and personal training; 400 exercise machines; a medical center for chiropractic care and physical therapy; a spa; a full-service café; and a Kids Academy.

Membership is an investment—at Life Time’s Westwood location, rates range from $144 to $344 per month—but members of the Chestnut Hill location will also have access to the Westwood and Framingham clubs.

Starting December 7, potential members can check out the preview center at 335 Boylston Street in Newton, where you can sign up for early memberships and get a virtual tour.
