Does anyone have recommendations or “hacks” for discounts on gym memberships? My Chelsea piers membership is going up to 295 starting in August and neighborhood equinox is 275. I love my routine of going to the gym but these prices feel like they’re getting out of hand

My “hack” was always go to another more affordable gym or even 2, or at some point ClassPass. Depends what you are looking for.
I loved blink at the time, and supplemented with ClassPass. Combined like $50/month.
(Having Wellhub now is a gamechanger)

I mean, I’m not going to Chelsea Piers so we’re clearly on different levels if that’s what you require but I just go to the Crunch down the street and I use Wellhub (Gympass fka).

My undiscounted Wellhub membership (bronze plan at like $89 per month) is cheaper than the single location monthly membership directly from Crunch so it’s cheaper, and I have access to all locations and a billion other gyms across the country when I travel. It’s good enough for me!

Check your expectations and what you really NEED vs want if the priceflation is getting to you. Do you really need to go to a Top Tier lifestyle gym?

Understandable the safety comes first. When I was worried about having things stolen in blink, I either just waited to shower at home and kept my stuff on me, or left nearly everything at work and would only bring my ID and clothes / towel. Maybe I got lucky that I’ve never had anything stolen when using the Blink lockers (near the midtown area) and at the same time all I was willing to spend was $25/month so I just made it work.
