    I can just imagine Sonia being all "Thscht! [teeth-sucking sound], get the f*ck out of my face, bitch" to the skinny gym bunny trying to get in her face on the UES. I do it all the time.

    Go Bronx!

    Plus she works out in JNCOs and Timberlands. Dead-lifting too much weight with bad form and grunting for everyone to hear.

    They have those now? I always was told it didn't really burn that many calories, so I never thought about the possibility. Shows you what I've been missing...

    My gym's entry system is pretty low-tech. It's a flat bench with 315 lbs. on the bar. Three or more reps? "Enjoy your workout!" Less than three reps? "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY SIGHT!!!" Keeps out the riff-raff.

    The Equinox on 19th and Broadway now has a fingerprint ID system. This walks the fine line between intrusive and convenient pretty well.

    @Foster Kamer: Honestly, I wouldn't put that past them. They glom onto every expensive trend and promote it as part of the "Equinox Lifestyle."

    Their whole shtick is to sell members on it being not just a gym but a "lifestyle brand." They even (attempt to) teach the trainers how to market the "Equinox as lifestyle" thing.

    Thats the real scoop for sure.

    As for me I joined New York Sports Club because they have like 300 locations in NYC so there's always someplace to use the loo when you are out and about.

    Equinox is so expensive because enough people buy into the "Equinox as Lifestyle" marketing.

    Equinox is so expensive because the gyms are spacious, superclean, trendily decorated and filled with plenty of the latest equipment. There is no such thing as a time limit on cardio machines and you can use free clean towels like Kleenex (although signs encourage you to "be green"). The staff at every gym is courteous and professional as you would expect when you're paying $170 a month. They have countless free classes for members. If you go on a regular basis it's absolutely worth it. The only downside is that some of the clubs get really crowded at night and some of the members can be insufferably entitled and snotty (I'm a glittering exception). I'm told they give discounts to models through their agencies, so lately there had been an influx of the young hot and rude. But then, a lot of people in NYC find that appealing.
