Which NYC Gym?
I’ll be doing my junior year IB internship next summer in NYC and I was wondering what gym I should go for. My office is on Hudson yards so I was thinking either Equinox (right downstairs) or maybe Soulcycle where I could squeeze in a class every morning. They seem nice but also a bit overpriced tbh. Would it be worth it? If not, what gyms do you guys go to, I’d love to hear recommendations. I’m aware a lot of people chose equinox to “network” but realistically does anyone network in the gym? Female here btw.
just flex your banker bag in the locker room to network
..
Amazing. Didn’t know equinox did cycling classes
...
is equinox worth the price? its more expensive than other gyms in NYC right
Depends on the actual location (in SF, the Pine Street one is pretty terrible for what you get for example - way too crowded, not that nice, equipment is meh, etc.) and how much you use the classes. If you don't take any of the classes, you lose a ton of value.
For OP, issue w/ Equinox is usually they force you to sign a year long contract I think? There are ways around this (just fake a USPS change of address notice to a place where there isn't an Equinox w/in a certain # of miles and you can get out of it), but just a heads up.
What about barry’s
First Uncle Barry died and turned into a ute and now he's a gym?
If you enjoy weightlifting than the only real weightlifting gym left in NYC that I'm aware of is Mid City Gym. It's also very affordable for NYC. Just go to Equinox tbh. It's expensive but the time you save is more valuable.
+1 Mid City Gym
Doesn't Equinox require you to have a full year membership?
If you've got the money, I'd do Equinox. Or ask your firm first, most of the time firms have some sort of deals with gyms
Blink is stupid cheap, and if you get a promo if could be free for the entire summer (3 months). Just make sure you cancel before the 45 day period. There are many Blinks around. Peak hours are super busy, but if you get in the morning it isn't so bad depending on the location.
I had a New York Sports Club membership paid by my work and it was fine for me. Several locations, and they offer classes too. ~$90 a month I believe?
Crunch. It comes with classes, and you can use every crunch gym in NYC. (it's also cheaper than equinox and its gyms has deadlift platforms,squat platforms, etc)
you think you'll be in the city next summer for your internship? hah
mid city gym or crunch are both better value than equinox
Planet Fitness for me and my bottom bucket friends!
Any more thoughts on equinox or other gym suggestions in midtown?
Blink is like $25/month and is the same thing as equinox (owned by equinox) just doesn't have the wild (and uneceesary, imo) perks
Equinox hands down.
I love the convos I had with bankers on how we rationalized paying for it. lol.
