NYSC any day. Blink is one step away from planet fitness. Bad reviews for NYSC because they’re poorly managed and the employees suck (in the couple of locations I’ve been in) but they’ve got everything I need wrt lifting, heavy bag, sauna, and if you’re into it - Pilates, functional fitness classes, etc. I like it

You can’t afford that

funny

Do you like classes? Do you like amenities? If your answer is yes to the first question or both then check out Equinox. If your answer to one is no and 2 is yes, I still recommend checking out Equinox bit NYSC might provide what you’re looking for. I just moved from FL and looked at all the gyms in NYC, decided on equinox, and haven’t turned back

NYSC depends on the location, the one by me in Astoria really sucks

Blink (at least the one I go to) has no amenities, limited equipment, and is packed at all hours of the day, but with that being said it’s dirt cheap and gets the job done.

Is blink clean or gross?

What's the crowd like? Anyone cute? Or gross

NYSC, i go to the one on 41/3. Not fancy but they have everything, not packed. They are going thru renovation tho

Definitely Equinox

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
