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.
