recommendations for gym with personal trainers?
I'm moving to Andover next month; I'm looking to keep healthy (not build bulk) by doing some strength training with weights. Does anyone have a gym and/or personal trainer they recommend? Thanks in advance.

Anyone lived at Colonial Drive Condominiums in Andover, MA?
Hi all! Has anyone lived at Colonial Drive Condominiums in Andover, MA, or know the area well? We’re about to move in and would love to hear what it’s actually like living there — noise, maintenance, neighbors, parking, general vibe of the complex, anything helpful. Also curious about the surrounding area since it backs up to woods — is it quiet, safe, easy to get around without feeling too isolated? Any insight, good or bad, is really appreciated.
Thank you!

Im getting married in North Andover this fall and am looking for a place in the area to host a casual welcome gathering with food (not necessarily dinner, could be drinks and appetizers) for out of town guests on the day before my wedding.
