EXCLUSIVE: Social Wellness Club Remedy Place Is Headed to Boston With a Foam Bathing Suite, 10-person Sauna Suite and More

Remedy Place is heading to Boston. 

Later this month, the social wellness club founded by Dr. Jonathan Leary will open in the Seaport neighborhood in Boston. At over 10,000 square feet, it is the largest by more than 30 percent and the most social club with multiperson saunas, movement classes, IV suites and more — this marks Remedy’s fourth location after West Hollywood and Flatiron and SoHo in New York City. 

So why Boston?

“I grew up in Rhode Island and I’m just dying to get something close to home, but also I really hit it off with [Jeremy Sclar] the owner of WS Development. He’s just this visionary, and he built this whole entire area of the city from scratch,” Leary said. “Also, Boston is a very sophisticated town, from the advancements in health care all the way to the top Ivy League schools.” 

In addition, the clientele is exactly whom Leary has been targeting with Remedy Place since the beginning. 

“They’re young professionals. They work really hard, and they’re go-getters on top of being super active [with] running communities and cycling communities,” he said, adding that the clubs see a pretty even split between men and women, most in their 30s and 40s. “It’s mind blowing here that there really isn’t that much self care.” 

Leary is on a mission to remedy this with the brand new spot. 

Given the amount of space, Leary was able to create an entirely new experience for Remedy goers. For starters, the location has 20-foot ceilings, is all housed on one floor and offers guests the option of treatment suites with and without views — half of the club is all glass overlooking the park and city landscape. 

Furthermore, with each new location, Leary always aims to make it even more social. Boston is no exception. For the first time, the company is unveiling a contrast suite with a 10-person communal sauna, steam room and three ice baths. It can be booked for large groups or by small groups and individuals looking to meet new people. 

“We don’t want to be like a bathhouse and super crowded, but most of our guests and members love that they have privacy for them and their friends or their partner,” Leary said, noting that many are also looking for an intimate environment to meet like-minded individuals. “What better way to do so than this really sexy, intimate communal contrast suite that has it all?” 

In addition to Remedy’s classic offerings, like ice baths, breathwork sessions, saunas, IV drips, AI-powered massages and hyperbaric chambers, the Boston location will unveil a foam bathing experience. 

“We’re the only place in the country [that has it]. It’s foam bathing, where, for up to six guests, we use this patented foam technology that distributes nutrients through the skin,” said Leary. “This whole entire room fills up to your neck… At the end, there’s a whole rain experience [and] everything flushes away.” 

The location will also feature other exclusives including Pilates and yoga classes and a high-humidity, low-temperature sauna. To further enhance its cult-followed ice bath classes — Remedy devotees are eager to be members of the “six-minute club” (those able to remain in the 39 degree water for six minutes) — the Boston club includes heated stone beds where attendees lay during the pre-plunge breathwork portion.

Aside from all of the actual treatments, there are other moments of surprise-and-delight throughout the club, including Remedy’s bottle service of ultra-luxurious water curated by a water sommelier.

The Boston location follows Remedy’s recent SoHo opening which, according to Leary, has exceeded expectations in terms of reservations and memberships. Following this opening at the end of the month, expansion is on the horizon, though Leary is tight-lipped about where exactly is next. 

“Our clientele all travel to the same spots, and initially we want to target those main areas while throwing in some surprise clubs,” he said, noting that developers reach out often regarding potential new locations. “The goal for me is to have 15 to 20 clubs before I transition to a new version of our brick-and-mortar.”
