I'm not even based out of NYC and Equinox is my favorite

OP, crunch is pretty basic. But it has everything you need, generally. Squat rack, benches, DL, Leg Press, etc. My biggest complaint is that DBs don't go over 100#

Equinox is for people who like to say they work out

Mercedes Club is a "fancy gym" (rooftop pool, bocce, lots of classes) for not an Equinox price. Just has one location at 54th and 10th if you work close enough

like

I mean... I get there a little after 8 directly from the office, the one at 38th is usually dead around then. So is the one on 54th.

I'm based out of NYC and live in Brooklyn where Crunch is only $10 a month but I'm switching to Equinox when it opens in Williamsburg just to try out that bougie life

like

And why I guess?

I'm staffed in NYC. I could justify the outrageous cost of Equinox, and I workout everyday and am very athletic. Crunch is near my office, and another near my hotel. It is not bad, and not that expensive.

Could not*

Deloitte has a fitness while traveling budget so we can expense it :P

I'm expensing mine too. But even Deloitte doesn't have a $250/mo expense for gyms, which is how much Equinox was. I'm expensing $75 at crunch

D1 you cannot expense the cost of Equinox for travel.

I'm not based out of NYC. I'm not expensing my local gym for travel.

Unfortunately there is no golds in the city otherwise I would. I went to Equinox and it's amazing but idk if 200 dollars worth. Currently leaning towards crunch but seems basic lol. I am a competitor so picky about the equipment

Pure barre

Mercedes looks fancy but unfortunately only has one location like you said. @ PwC1 yea and also their weights area is always packed with no availability on benches or the 2 racks they have. I'll just go with crunch I guess and keep trying other gyms

Bar method. Love the studios and the instructors.

I’ve been going through it this month. Was on Buspirone for 4 weeks which caused a n of depression. Now I just started Zoloft and I’m feeling extra anxious and hypersensitive. One of my colleagues made fun of an idea I suggested and I’m taking it way more seriously than I should. How did your journey go to get on meds and adjust to them? I hate feeling so up and down.
