Staying fit in New York is a norm, but the motto “Look better naked” by David Barton Gym makes you just want to work out even harder. That’s why today I decided to go down to “NYC’s finest gym” to try it out and see if it is “all that”.
The gym I visited was the David Barton Gym on Astor Place because I have been walking by it a few times thinking that this place look like a nightclub. The main entrance gives you a feeling of a high end New York City lounge. When walking around in the club, I mean the gym I realized that it is pretty dark to be a gym. It was very relaxed; you could barely see anyone sweat. To me it looked more like a fashion spot, somewhere people with fancy clothes come to “chill”.
The environment of the gym was very chic and clean. They had everything a gym should have, maybe a little more. The staff talks to guest’s, asking questions about their goals and their purpose of visiting the gym which to me is great if you come to the gym to develop but some people just like to come there and walk on the treadmill and then leave. One thing I saw at this gym that I have never even seen at any other gym was the big disco ball. In this disco ball there is a DJ, this DJ plays lounge music for the guests. This was something I thought was pretty cool but unnecessary because many like me have their own music on. But if you are there to talk to others in between your sets then the music would to a great job.
The monthly charge is $97 (Students) $145 (non student).
