Nyc / Nj Gyms

Bunch of desperate people at Crunch. Especially the tribeca location. One time a guy was cruising the shower area and I closed my curtain because I wasn’t interested and he OPENED my curtain anyway, knowing damn well I was in there. I’ve seen the same and worse happen to other people. There are far too many guys who just use the gym for the sauna/steam and never know when to leave. It’s so annoying. (Which is why I canceled my membership)

Do people tend to think crunch is more cruisy than equinox?

Seems to me that crunch has more action, but it has more desperate action (ie guys that are hanging around forever even when others aren’t interested). Have also found that EQX had more attitude but more fit/hot guys, albeit picky guys. Have never really seen shower play at EQX, but feel like shower fun and even fucking happens more at crunch.

I did the tour of U Gym today and… I signed up, lol. As soon as I walked in I saw Austin Wolf and his boyfriend working out, lol. Not sure why they were there working out… the gym haven’t opened yet, but I’m sure it was to attract the obvious, lol. Anywho, the gym is so beautiful, everything is brand new and pristine. I was really in awe, not much has transformed in terms of the venue the last I’ve seen when I went there while it was Crunch gym. The men’s locker room was rearranged though. It’s more open and very bright! There is a steam room AND sauna and they’re both pretty hidden and are NOT coed! There’s gonna be a TON of action there for sure! I just hope that it doesn’t get out of hand and end up getting closed!

The monthly rate is $300 dollars a month. But I was quoted $200 if I signed up before the opening. The enrollment fees were also waived if you signed up before the opening (6/2). They also give student discounts, which I was told that they don’t give via WhatsApp initially. I sneaked in that I went to NYU and was given the discount and it was very generous! $70 dollar discount to be exact, but you have to show ID obviously! This brought my “Founding Member” rate to $130 dollars a month. OR, if paid in full ($1,300), you’ll get 2 months for free with a 2 week refund period! I chose the full year which brought my monthly dues to $108 dollars a month. Tax was around $63 bucks so it turned out to be around $113 per month! This also includes a free personal training session!

Everyone seems to be very friendly, staff wise. I didn't get to the chance to see the cafe/lounge, it was still under construction.

I'll make sure to update you all when I check it out, I plan to go on the opening day, we’ll see!

Is that initial $300 quote just to create the illusion of exclusivity to make people more curious and when they come in they actually have to pay something cheaper? Makes you think

Maybe it’s just a troll deterrent.

I agree Crunch Tribeca is very weird. A lot of guys go back n forth between steam room and sauna. The workers know what’s going because sometimes they just come in and check the locker room. I’ve never got a curtain pulled on me but if it happened I may throw a punch naked.

Agreed. I’m a very fit/muscular guy. Not always interested in everyone that wants to get off. But guys at Tribeca are so damn persistent. When I try to initiate something and a guy isn’t interested I get the message. A few of the guys at Tribeca keep trying to go back and forth to where I am and just don’t get that it’s not going to happen

This happened to me today. I don’t even think the dude worked out. He was in the lockeroom creeping for hours. It was so bizarre.
