Winthrop Center’s offerings also include nutritional and fitness services. A residential club overlooking the Charles River comes with not only the luxury-level basics, but also a Junior Olympics-sized pool, a group fitness studio for yoga and pilates, and space for working out with a personal trainer. There’s also a custom-designed FLX Fitness Center with a rock wall that residents share with office workers within the building. This fitness space also has a recovery room, a sports simulator where you can try your swing at virtual golf courses around the world.
