Editorial Review for Boston Athletic Club – by Citysearch Staff

The Scene
A short hop from South Station, this converted warehouse may be the largest health club in town, certainly one of the most serious. Despite (or maybe because of) its strong commitment to "whole body fitness"--body and mind--it's a friendly place where people come to meet others, as well as better themselves.

The Workout
BAC offers the latest and most specialized workout equipment, as well as free weights, exercise classes, personal training, sauna, steam room, whirlpool and lap pool. True to its name, the club also features a host of athletic activities--tennis, basketball, racquetball, handball, squash--some with league play or partner-matching.

The BAC offers a variety of sports and group exercise classes to keep you in shape and enthused about it. It has the unique advantage of FREE parking and plenty of it, which is rare in this city. It also has wonderful services such as physical therapy, massage, restaurant, hair salon, etc. Check out their website. Also, the best personal trainer in Boston works here - TERRY WALSH. If you're looking to get in shape, stay in shape and be totally blown away by a wealth of knowledge and range of exercises, treat yourself to sessions with Terry. It will change your attitude and your life. The BAC is the best!

Everything is always clean and there is anything that you could ask for in a gym, weights, treadmills, the pool, hottub...raquetball tennis and more...Plus there is a place to grab a drink or food with buddies after a workout. I definately recommend this place...it is worth the price tag!
