So goes the hierarchy of employment options. Joining a gym is such a hassle. We went to Crunch and told the guy we worked out at a Bally's in Arizona. He then proceeded to show me how to use every machine: "Um, this is a bench, you can use it for bench press, or other presses, or even press free weights."
I went to New York Sports Club next and got a really quick tour. What was interesting is that the initiation fee was $400 but the guy could cut it to $150. Why not just tell me that the fee is $150? And his excuse every time? "I'd give you a bigger discount, but the computer won't let me."
Equinox, however, was nice. The girl who showed us around was very nice, more concerned friend than saleswoman. The facility is amazing. It's about 50% more per month, but I think it might be worth it to work out in a gym so nice--so nice in fact that I might even shower and shave there, since my bathroom is so small in my apartment.

I have worked out at Equinox in NY, you feel like your in Globogym from the movie dodgeball, lol.
i hate basically all gyms. then i found our current gym. it's way more expensive than somewhere like 24hour fitness, but it is infintely worth it. of course, my idea of worth it means that it is almost always empty and i am the youngest person there by 15 years... but hey, whatever gets my ass on a treadmill.
what i'm trying to say is spend the extra money on a gym you like.
