I would either not do the gym or wait till you start because your company might have a gym stipend or discount. I think you might be a little light on food. but that is just me.
I guess if you’re against having fun
Is this NYC?
Your tax assumptions seem low. You're making $100k/yr (I'm assuming this is base, but will ignore bonus for now--Generally ignoring bonus is a good assumption) and your after tax is assuming an aggregate ~28% tax rate. Remember, you have FIT, NYS, NYC, SS and Medicare. SS & Medicare are 7.65% alone. NYC/NYS are close enough as doesn't matter to 10% combined. FIT (Fed. Income Tax) is significantly progressive, but you're already at 17.5%,and you'll probably be paying another 20-30% for that.
Your budget seems OK, but this will eat into that buffer you built.
