Seaport Equinox
We’re used to getting pampered at Equinox, but the Seaport location is something else. Inside the club’s massive group fitness studio, you can take Pilates classes with Kara Duval and metabolic conditioning with Leo Hastings (among others), while enjoying a 270 degree view at Rowes Wharf and the Boston Harbor. Watch the boats come in and out of the docks during the summer, and bask in all the natural light the space lets in during the winter. 27 Northern Ave., Boston, 617-206-2641, equinox.com.

Encore Boston
Visiting the Encore Boston Harbor Casino is an experience. If you’re not much into gambling, the spa and fitness center could keep you occupied (and relaxed) for days. The fitness center hosts classes and offers one-on-one sessions with personal trainers. From the casino’s outpost in Everett, Woodway treadmills and Peloton bikes look out onto the Boston skyline and the Mystic River. During the spring and summer, the terrace just outside the window is dotted with colorful flowers and plants. 1 Broadway, Everett, 857-770-7000, encorebostonharbor.com.
