A FUN, FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD GYM WITH NO MEMBERSHIP CONTRACT OR ENROLLMENT FEE
Just because it’s getting colder and darker outside doesn’t mean you can’t keep on being active. You just need a satisfying indoor option! The Live Well Company, a mom-and-pop gym with a brand-new facility, offers a no-contract membership—so you can quit after the winter months, if you choose, with no hassle. And there’s never an enrollment fee. Come by for a visit at 256 West Street (between Laight and Vestry) or check us out at thelivewellcompany.com—and look out for our new kids’ program starting next week. Sponsored.
