It is hard to even call the Sports Club LA a gym. It would more aptly be described a country club. Standing high above the Boston Common in the The Ritz Carlton, Boston Common, the SCLA is the definition of luxury and posh; with a little sweat thrown in. With a huge cardio and weights section and group fitness classes that range from step aerobics to ballet pilates, your every need will be met. That is not to mention the Olympic sized pool, 4 squash courts, and basketball arena. Don't forget to stop by the SCLA cafe attached to Blu for a post-workout smoothie and egg white omlette. I know that this all sounds fabulous, and it is.... However, it comes with the steepest price tag in the city with initiation fees starting at $650 and monthly dues around $170 as well. Whoever said no pain, no gain was right.

Boston ElderINFO assists elders and their families in accessing a comprehensive range of services that address age-related needs. BEI is a program of the ElderCare Alliance. The Eldercare Alliance is a not for profit collaboration of three Boston home care agencies, also known as Aging Services Access Points (ASAP's): Boston Senior Home Care, Central Boston Elder Services and Ethos.

It is located more near to the downtown Boston area, and its opened view with glass walls allow a very bright inside, and its store area is huge and clean. The environment provides a good feeling for a hair makeover or a spa.
