Harbor Place’s newest neighbor The Compound is ready to pump up Haverhill—and the gym is opening for business Sunday with all group fitness classes that day taking place free of charge. Owned and operated by Haverhill’s Anthony Ruiz and Lawrence’s Oscar Moscat, The Compound, occupies the 6,400-square foot space underneath The Harbor Place Residences. As the co-owners tell WHAV, custom gym equipment is being shipped from Lithuania as interior renovations are completed, and a formal grand opening is in the works for later this spring. Prioritizing both the mental and physical aspects of fitness, The Compound is a niche gym, Moscat tells WHAV. “The Compound is basically an environment for everyone who loves weightlifting and fitness but doesn’t like the distractions that come with that,” Moscat said.
