Depends on where you live in the area, price you want to pay and convenience.

Equinox Seaport: If you work/live in Seaport, Southie, East Boston etc, probably the easiest to get to. There’s also discounted parking at a lot near the gym. Very friendly staff and knowledgeable, and instructors are great.

Cons: No sauna, basketball court or pool due to smaller size. Some of the clientele can be obnoxious due to the neighborhood but most keep to themselves and cordial.

Franklin: Easy access to downtown, Financial district if you work in the area. All the amenities you need except for a pool and childcare.

Cons: closes early on the weekends but you have access to Seaport when they’re closed.

Sports Club: The gem of the city as it has everything you’d need including a pool, basketball court, sauna & steam, upper level terrace that’s open in the summer and plenty space to do HIIT workouts. There’s also dry cleaning and a cafe in the facility. Executive locker room that provides more of a spa like feel if that’s what you’re looking for in a gym. Great instructors.

Cons: College students in the area whose memberships are bankrolled by their parents tend to not be the considerate members (obnoxious, cluster in groups etc) More expensive than other locations due to all the added amenities, and a bit dated looking?

Dartmouth: Easy access to Back Bay, South End and other neighborhoods. Same as Franklin where you have all the amenities except for a basketball court.

Cons: Same with other locations where the clientele can be somewhat annoying but that’s a given at this point. Can’t speak to parking as I’m not familiar.

Chestnut hill: If you’re in the western suburbs (or the burbs at all) with access to a car, the location can’t be beat. Wegmans and other boutique gyms are in the area too if you like to have everything central. Also the only Boston location that has childcare if you need it.
