I am posting this review because I have been rubbed the wrong way by members of the staff, specifically Dave in Membership sales. He is incredibly condescending and downright rude. I have emailed with him and he insulted me when I said membership had gotten too pricey. (he said "well you can just cut down on eating out one meal a month"). really, is that all????!!! It is VERY pricey to be a member at this club which is fine but their prices per month have more than DOUBLED in the last few years. He just called me this morning and I said I couldn't speak because I was at work and his reply was "did you want to rejoin or not?" and I said "not at this time" and HE HUNG UP. WHO is this person you hired to sell people on your club?? Unreal. I have a neighbor that was also considering joining. He was rude to her as well when she inquired about membership and she now refuses to join. Do better Midtown. Don't be snobby. It's not the vibe.

The place stands out. It has a gym, swimming pool, palettes, a huge tennis court, and a spa. It is completely equipped for a workout. Huge dressing room and clean bathroom. High-end place and quiet, has a computer area, and a coffee shop.

I workout here with a very good friend of mine, and I have to say, this gym is so clean and pristine. The vibe is positive, mellow, and brings a sense of camaraderie. It’s like a bigger boutique gym. The trainers and classes are solid. Dave is a fun, and overall, great trainer. Every Friday I take a class called, “Gauntlet” with Jeremy W, who is fantastic and motivating. On Mondays, I take an upper body lift class with Bill, who is also wonderful. Definitely, a great gym to be a part of!

We joined as a family almost a year ago and our experience has been great. The facility is always clean, there are always machines available, and the outdoor pool is fantastic. I love that they keep it open 9 months out of the year so I can swim laps. The locker rooms are impressive, and the spa is great too (get a massage!). The cafe is probably my favorite amenity though - it has a full menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner complete with alcohol, and smoothies. The food is really good, much better than you would expect from a gym. We often eat here both with and without our kids. It's also a great place to work for a few hours as it has tons of tables and comfortable seating areas. Plus they bus your table for you! Docked a star for a few reasons: - The indoor pool hosts my kids' swim lessons and the pool is so cold that my kids refuse to go in it. When they do get in, they cry and their teeth are chattering. Please warm it up a bit! - The organization and communication around swim lessons is not great, and it shows. The classes are poorly attended (my kids were often the only one, and they want to play with other kids, so they are sad when they are alone), and there are often "no class" days due to "holidays" or "school breaks" but these are not proactively communicated, so we have shown up several times only to be greeted by an empty pool with no staff in sight. These "no class" days are made even more confusing by the fact that the gym holds other classes for kids (such as tennis) on the same days that there is no swim class. - They have wonderful tennis facilities (indoor and outdoor) but you have to pay an arm and a leg to use them ON TOP of an already expensive gym membership. You can't even use an indoor tennis court without paying! On top of the fact that you have to pay, there is no bulk discount or package offering for their cardio classes - just pay as you go (and $28 for an hour is steep). Just not very member-friendly.

Exception and personalized facility. It has so many different workout platforms and spaces that there is rarely a time where you do not have access to the equipment you need to work out. The extras with the indoor or outdoor pool and option of steam or sauna and classes are above expectation and make for a great place to work out
