You know the feeling. I was an original Member of the one in Westwood, and it definitely enhanced my well-being, from the late night swims to the morning yoga and jacuzzi.

I don’t know why they aren’t in RI!

One word: luxury. Have you looked at your surroundings here?

Booooo! Not all of the state is Woonsocket and west Warwick. It’s a nice place. For Christ sake taylor swift summers in RI

Yes! RI is beautiful, and the towns are just as nice as anything you’d find in MA (in my opinion).

I get what you’re saying, Boston is > Providence, but I don’t know if RI as a whole wouldn’t have some demand for a luxury gym!

I think the closest we had were the Boston Sports Clubs (Westminster and another near East Side Market) pre-COVID, and I think only one was full service. Of course there’s the club at Brown, that’s simply a ‘know a guy’ sit, and that’s it. We should be able to agree on one thing - there’s nothing luxurious about the YMCA.

What’s that even mean? RI has both extremes and everything in between. You think the whole state is Woonsocket?
