After successfully launching Henry's Gym in the Queen Anne neighborhood during the COVID-19 pandemic, owner Glen Swain has brought the inclusive and colorful atmosphere to the heart of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. On December 2, Henry's opened its second location, in the 100-year-old Boylston Garage, located at 1617 Boylston Ave.

"We're community-oriented and focused on truly celebrating diversity while honoring the human spirit and community history through art," Swain said in a press release.

Fitness and exercise are at the forefront of people's minds each new year, but Henry's Capitol Hill location is dissimilar to corporate gyms in the area, due to its emphasis on inclusivity and community. It features carefully curated artwork that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community, including over a hundred pieces across the gym. There are three full-wall murals, including one dedicated to the 1969 Stonewall Riots, and another to politician and activist Harvey Milk.

Henry's has strength-training and cardiovascular equipment, free weights, Gym80 cardio machines, German-made Gym80 Life-Fitness equipment, a stretching area, and a studio for group high-intensity, interval-training sessions. Customized training programs and tailored fitness plans are also available, based on an one's 3D body scan analysis, which determines lean body mass, postural structure, circumference measurements, and body fat percentage.

Cutting-edge therapies that aim to decrease stress and boost circulation, immunity, and energy are included in the comprehensive recovery suite, where members can hop in a Finnish sauna, engage in cold-plunge therapy, receive a hydromassage, or undergo red-light therapy.

The location also has a full-service bar, offering pre- and post-workout beverages, such as beers and wines, as a way to provide a social hub for members to unwind and build relationships. Unlike the Queen Anne branch, Henry's on Boylston has its own spa, where members can receive Botox and laser treatments to firm and smooth skin.

As part of Henry's commitment to the community and inclusivity, a portion of all guest fees at Boylston will be donated to Lambert House each month. The gym is open seven days a week, and monthly membership fees start at $79.99.
