1 /5 Jazz T: City Fitness isnt a gym its a social experiment. For a premium $200 per month, you dont get amenities you get existential questions about value.
The Pool in Northern Liberties is truly special because its rarely available. Enjoy the thrill of showing up on a hot summer Sunday only to find it spontaneously closed for a "private event," or because its a minor holiday. This builds character.
The towel policy is equally revolutionary as you must bring your own. That damp cloth you haul in is your final reminder that you pay Equinox prices for a high school locker room experience.
But the true genius is Revive. Want to use the state-of-the-art CryoFusion Pod or Normatec recovery gear? Excellent! First, undertake the mandatory one-mile post-workout pilgrimage from Northern Liberties to Fishtown. They cleverly call this the "Recovery Hike."
If your goal is fitness mixed with inconvenience and logistical complexity, this is an unrivaled 5-star operation. Bravo on the premium letdown.
