In the second trimester you’re supposed to be in the “good stage” of pregnancy and I am there! It’s wonderful. You barely feel like you’re pregnant at times if you’re lucky. I decided to take advantage and do something I used to love doing. I went to Recycle Studio for a 45-minute long spin class. […]

Life Time Fitness to me was just a big gym before I stepped into one. After just one visit though, I now realize it’s a way of life. Ok, that statement may be an exaggeration but I honestly think I could spend 3+ hours at this place every day if I just lived a little […]

Last week, we celebrated our first Thanksgiving as a family of 3. We spent the first part of our long weekend up in Maine and then came back to Boston on Friday. For the first time since I was probably in 8th grade, I did not go out the night before Thanksgiving. It’s usually my favorite […]

On Tuesday, I left Tommy for the first time overnight. I cried when I left. I cried at the airport but as soon as I arrived on my favorite island, I was good. I missed the munchkin but I no more tears were shed. I flew to Nantucket from Hyannis for the Cercone Brown Company […]

I found another fitness class in Boston where you can bring your baby with you a couple weeks ago. Reader Erica told me about a class held at the Healthworks Back Bay location and it took me 4 months to finally make it! Using my ClassPass membership, I booked a spot for the Wednesday class […]

EveryBodyFights (EBF), formerly known as The Club by George Foreman III, is one of my favorite gyms on ClassPass but alas they do not have child care so I haven’t been in a while. Since the last time I went, they’ve expanded to Watertown and are opening another location in New York soon. I went […]

The next Boston studio to be reviewed on my ClassPass tour is Bar Method. My long time readers might remember that, I was a member of Bar Method for over a year before I started teaching at Barry’s Bootcamp in the fall of 2013. I was always a runner and lifter but wanted to try […]

There is childcare at many gyms and studios these days but still very few Mommy and Me fitness classes in Boston right now. There are two that I have tried, one in Back Bay at Xtend Barre and one in Charlestown at Asana Charlestown with my friend Jenn Phelan (who is pregnant with #2). The […]

I love the Lagree Method which is a style of Pilates performed on a Megaformer. The only place in Boston where you can do it is at Btone Fitness, which now has 5 studios in the area. I was a regular in Claudia’s class before getting pregnant and continued to go using my ClassPass during […]

When I use ClassPass and go to new studios, I always write reviews but it recently came to my attention that I have never written them for some of my favorite spots in Boston including Recycle Studio. When they opened up their new location in the South End, it seemed like perfect timing to share […]
