“they treat you right”
I found and signed up at Midtown last summer when their outdoor pool opened. The workout gear is solid and well-kept, the trainers are attractive, and they offer spin classes, yoga, indoor and outdoor tennis, and platform tennis. The men's locker rooms are top-notch, with complimentary toiletries, wooden lockers, and free towels. There's a nice cafe on site, and the place is welcoming to LGBTQ folks. It's expensive, but you definitely get value for what you spend.
