Rt this question. Does anyone know if chi firms offer discounted memberships there?

like

Live right near it would love some insight

like

Used to have membership there and had a small discount through my biglaw firm. I think I was paying $190/month back 2016-2017. Absolutey legit. Nice indoor track I would run miles on, outdoor and indoor lap pools I used all the time, and rooftop hot tub with skyline view. The locker room is also fantastic because they have a legit steam room that you can’t see more than 2 feet in. Always came out of there feeling like a million bucks. And I am NOT a gym membership person. Only canceled because I moved to SF.

like

Nah, SF was already pricey enough for me that I didn’t want to talk on a membership to it. I just started doing long walks and runs outside, and would walk to/from work for the exercise.

Worth it. They have a new business center with call rooms and everything; you can spend the day there. Food and smoothies are solid. Networking is great. Classes and amenities are solid, spa is great and if you have kids, they have a 2 hour on site daycare.
