Boot Camp: How to Get there part of Bootcamp by James Buszard-Welcher

How to get to Boot Camp

Boot camp is at LifeSimple.com, 26 Dartmouth Street, Westwood, MA, (781) 461-6900 as is explained on the previous page. I don't recommend the Yahoo directions, exactly. Everyone seemed to find it OK, but here are driving directions anyway.

Driving to LifeSimple.com

• Take I90 West. Two tolls, $0.50 x 2 = $1.00. Sorry.
• then take I95 South
• exit at lucky exit 13
• follow the sign to the R.R. Station and University
• Turn right on University
• after approx 0.5 miles, turn left on Dartmouth Street
• go straight over the RR tracks, 26 Dartmouth street.

Training is on the second floor in the back conference room.

Carpool

Folk have been meeting at ArsDigita around 8:15 or so to carpool over there. If you are interested, call. Tracy Adams or James Buszard-Welcher are probably good people to contact for this (at least for the June 1999 BootCamp).

Public Transit: Train

This should work in theory... I'll try it this week and let everyone know...

• Take the Red Line subway to South Station (commuter rail!).
• Get on the Attleboro/Stoughton Line. You want to get off at Route 128... so read the schedule and make sure the train you board doesn't SKIP the route 128 station altogether.
• Once out of the train station, walk to University and turn left. It's about 0.5 miles to Dartmouth, and maybe a quarter mile or less from University to 26 Dartmouth and Lifesimple.

I haven't heard anything about free passes or reduced rate passes. If anyone has more info or inquiries, let me know. Anything I find I'll put here.

Probably the most sensible discount for traveling to the bootcamp via MBTA Commuter Rail is to get a 12-pass. The exact price depends on the zones you cross but usually you get 12 passes for the price of 10. You can pick these passes up at the counter at South Station.

There are such things as monthly Commuter Rail passes which may be cost-effective if you have to take the T to commuter-rail.
