Quincy Gym Market -- Overview
Quincy is one of Boston's largest south-suburban cities, the birthplace of John Adams and home to a fast-growing waterfront residential boom around Marina Bay. The Red Line connects commuters into Boston in 20 minutes, and the fitness market reflects that: chains around Quincy Center, boutique studios in Wollaston and Marina Bay, and a strong Asian-American fitness presence in North Quincy.
