Picking a gym

Depends on the location of you and your bank, as well as the quality and size of the nearest one. Equinox Hudson yards? 100% worth it. Some closet “Equinox” gym in another part of the city? Not worth it.

yes you’re paying a premium but if you want to skeet skeet into some hot girls skeeter you need to skeet skeet your physical fitness up to the skeet skeeting max 

Gotta love the Nox :) haha

I think it depends. If you have the self-control to wake up early/stay up late and work out consistently before/after work, get a membership near your office. If you’re an opportunistic work out person, maybe get one near the office so you can sneak out for 30 minutes between comments.

Crunch all day. They're everywhere, come with classes, and for 120 you can use any Crunch in NYC. Some have saunas, the Time Square crunch gym has a rock-climbing facility, a good number of free-weights, can't recommend it enough.

Worked in lower Manhattan, FiDi, and loved going to the Brookfield Place Equinox. Wake up early, hit the showers/steam room, then into the office. Had a routine and the gym being close to the office made that possible. 

I think it’s 100% worth it. Classes are available at 6:30 am and if you go to one close to the office or subway it’s convenient for morning workouts. In my experience spending $240 a month was my motivation to actually go and stay in shape

Which gym does your firm offer discounts for? I’d look into that first and then think about proximity to work/home.

Also, you should consider how often you expect to be lifting per week and whether Equinox is still worth that
