Equinox in Boston is a remarkable place, with state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, and training programs, as well as an impeccably groomed, attired, knowledgeable, and attentive staff. All non-living surfaces in the gym are continually polished and sterilized. Impressive is the word. It's just too refined -- too insulated from its mechanisms -- for me. It's this where I want that. Oh, and the membership fees... Yeah.

(Many thanks to armandae for the chance to try it out! It really is super-plush.)
