Remember those ancient, no-frill gyms of the past? They were around before fancy fitness centers and snooty health spas came around and they were rough and tough and had what you needed to really work out. Well, they are back, so put down the yoga mat—it’s time to get serious. A one-year initiation fee of $352 gets you unlimited time at this 24-hour gym. You must pay $25 each month, but that’s peanuts compared to what you’d spend on lypo or some other frilly gym. This fitness club is great if you work strange hours or like the flexibility of going to the gym whenever you want. And 24-7 makes it easy to avoid the typical after-work rush hour.
Insider Tip: If you like a little alone time, 4am-7am is the quietest time to go.
