Big fan of LifeTime. The equipment is good and there’s lots of space. Some locations have basketball courts and pools and cafes too.

I prefer crunch! Very lively and a good range of equipment. Business depends on location, and some are newly renovated to have more equipment (because of the popularity). So I would check out the ones near you with a free trial first.

Yep fidi is not too crowded. I go to union square and the peak hours can be brutal trying to find equipment. But lots of squat racks and benches for chest.

I used to go to 24 Hour Fitness. Not sure if it is still around. One of a few places that had a pool.

I don’t think that exists anymore?

Lifetime is really the best one in terms of "nice" and price combined.

Blink sounds like a zoo I've never been

Crunch is okay, I've been to a few and I find their layouts to be very cramped... equipment very very closely spaced together

Lifetime had huge open spaces very airy, fresh, new, clean, and a modern upscale relaxing color palette

If you have classpass you can sign up and take 1 credit/visit to Crunch

I like my crunch (park slope)

Same.

Crunch all the way!

Lost 5lbs in one week by pushing my first meal of the day back to 11:30am. Probably can’t consider it to be intermittent since I don’t have a hard cut off time for when I stop eating at the end of the day but I’m really happy that this small adjustment is working!

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?
