Trying to figure out which gym to join. Scoring range is 0-100 for each value driver. Thoughts?

Commute from home and price should hold larger sway over gym cleanliness. Maybe that’s just personal preference though. You go to the gym to get sweaty and as long as the equipment is available and is in good shape cleanliness is secondary

I can tap dance at equinox barefoot. That’s how clean it is.

Another way to view it is premium. You’re going to pay something no matter what, so are the features of Equinox worth the extra money. For me they are, especially since I have the all gym option - I can workout (or zen out, or just take a eucalyptus scented piss) anywhere in the city

Be honest. You just played with the intangibles to get to the result you wanted in your heart — Equinox. This, like all similar models, is just a charade.

Valid point with my original post, but not with new weight distribution. I've posted it as a response in other comments in here.

Equinox is overpriced - but I love it, and I even go twice a day when I can. It’s especially more economical since it includes classes, if you take advantage of those. Marginal upside depends on your expected usage.

Do you receive any kind of corporate discounts or subsidies? That also plays a role.

It seems like you are of the mind that you want to try equinox and if you don't and save money you will be unhappy. Humans just have learn from experience. Blink with a fresh pair of shower shoes every month would run you 50-60 maybe 80. You can get athletes foot from a "spa" like shower. They don't clean it after every use.

Third vote for weighing the commute higher!

Equinox is so worth it imo. The price is steep but worth it. Joined two years ago and it’s motivated me to go at least 4 times a week (I was terrible at getting myself to go work out before)

The biggest driver is proximity. Go to the gym you’re closest to. I work out 7d/week and am amazingly fit, six-pack and all, but proximity was the only driver (on your list) that dictated where I went. Good effort trying to make this more complex than it is in teal life though 😉

Another way to think about this is assigning a dollar value to each driver — i.e., how much $ are you willing to pay per month for a cleaner gym?

like

Shouldn’t the price be just a factor or multiple of your score on other parameters? I would have calculated the score due to other parameters and than used price as a deciding factor. You are paying high price because of all the good things.
