I’m a monthly member who lives nearby. Maybe the bad reviews come from out of towners whose local lifetimes are the size of malls and have parking lots.
This is Manhattan. We make do with more compact spaces and are accustomed to crowds. That being said: I’m here 5 mornings a week. Busy? Yes.
New Yorkers are serious about their gym time. But over crowded? No. Equinox is overcrowded, but not this lifetime.
AND we know how to share space, politely weave into equipment with body language and we respect each others space. This is a quality gym, with quality people. I’ve only been treated with utmost kindness by the staff and other members.
I take off one star because when a machine breaks it takes way too long for repair. Should be 2 days max when space and machines are limited. I’ve waited more than 10 days for machines to be repaired. It’s not life shattering - I use other equipment, but at this price point, repairs should be quick. I’ve also struggled with the broken lockers on the main floor. It seems as if their staffing in regards to maintenance is lacking. Perhaps a new provider? This morning the hinges off of at least a half dozen lockers were broken. Come on guys. We can do better when charging 250+ a month.

Place is what you make of it. I’ve been 3x while visiting London over the past 18 months.
Staff was always nice to me. You can tell some work long hours and probably deal with a lot of difficult clients. Just be nice, follow the rules, and try to have a good time.
Guys here in general are seemingly always seeking the next best thing. I’ve had some good times here but other times men have just been very detached and walking around in circles.
This isn’t the fault of the venue or of me. It’s just the way it was. You never know what kind of experience you’re going to have at a sex club. So expect the worst and hope for the best.
I agree that the temperature of rooms are all over the place - but who’s REALLY here for the sauna? I mean - really? Not many. Dudes are here to get laid.
My understanding of the complicated check in process is to make sure drugs aren’t being used in the premises. Fine by me. I don’t need zombies and crackheads to spoil the vibe.
This whole space is unconventional. Go in chill, pay - get undressed - get your key - try to get laid. If you are expecting something more than this why even bother.
There are few gay saunas left in the world and here we have some drama gays giving one star reviews. Really? When these places are all gone you’ll appreciate them more.

I’m a native Manhattanite who came up for a day gig at Columbia. This is a good ol fashioned hole in the wall
Bodega. I had a simple breakfast wrap for $4 bucks. Can’t complain. Not a great selection of drinks but for a quick snack, this is a classic New York experience. Service was super friendly and I was in and out in under 5 minutes
