The New Resort Gym

I had to check out the Lifetime Athletic Club in Boca Raton. Workout buddies said the recently renovated space was worth a peek. So true. The ambience is  industrial, meshing stainless steel, glass and lots of wood. Daniel Miller, Club Management, toured me about showing off the spinning room with 50 top-notch bikes, a basketball court fit for Barack Obama to shoot hoops in and more weights, cardio and sweat-inducing equipment than you could imagine. Could this be exercise nirvana? If all this wasn't enough, Miller pointed me in the direction of the spa, home to massages, a knock-out pilates and yoga area, impressive grass tennis courts, an indoor lap pool and an outdoor sunning lanai with a pool equivalent to one at a luxurious resort. There's even an outdoor space dedicated to massages for two. Tempting and snazzy, the boomer crowd was at it. Working out has its rewards. lifetimefitness.com/bocaraton
