I have heard bad things about Crunch - apparently their staff is always trying to sell you on something and they're kind of sketchy about pricing. I know I read something on Consumerist about them, and I think there was another link...I'll try to find them.

Edit: Here's the Consumerist post

I didn't hear great things about the Boston location; people seemed to like BSC or FitCorp more than Crunch.

And there's two of the three gyms I've belonged to in the past few years. I'm now at Atlantis and I'm really liked it. I switched because it was less crowded than Fitcorp and they offered me a price that I just couldn't pass up.

Did you buy my floaty raft yet?

Atlantis, which one is that? Is it new?

I'm not sure how new it is, I've been going since November and it had been around for awhile. It's inside the Sheraton at Prudential Center. It's a lot smaller than the other gyms, but it's not as crowded and the equipment is really nice, plus there's a pool and sun deck and all that stuff.
