still haven't joined a gym yet in the city. have been meaning to since i got here, but just too lazy i guess. here are the contenders:
contender 1 -- equinox gym.
named "best gym in america" by fitness magazine. the equinox gym has a club at 54th & 2nd which is close, 6 blocks away (5 minute walk) and has an excellent class schedule. the hospital also has a corporate rate with equinox, monthly fee of $118 w/ no initiation fee.
contender 2 -- the sports club/la.
sports club/la has a club at 61st & 2nd, which is literally a 30 second walk from my apt. also has a good class schedule. the definite minus? no corporate rate, monthly fee ~$170. seriously.
there are other options in the city which are much cheaper (crunch, nysc, etc)...but not as close and not as nice.
the basic question is this:
is it worth it pay an extra $50/month to be able to roll out of bed and into the gym?
Possibly, although a 5 minute walk really isn't bad. I have an 8 minute walk to the nearest Goodlife, which is much better than my sitch in Ottawa (had to drive there).
ReplyDeleteI say go with the corporate rate.
