My friend invited me to brunch at Midtown Athletic Club (they are a member). The public can't just…read morewalk in, there are gates in the lobby and I had to scan a code (and fill out my info) before entering. I visited Midtown before as a prospective member so I know that guests can only enter a limited number of times. We went upstairs past the cardio machines (they are plentiful) and the weight area to the cafe. There are tables and booths that overlook the outdoor pool area (closed for season). It wasn't a large brunch but we had some made-to-order omelets, bacon/sausage and fruit. There was also some potatoes and pastry. When I sat down to eat I received a text from Midtown about a membership. The brunch was bottomless although one omelet was enough for me. I also had two emails from Midtown when I got home, one a waiver of liability and the other a membership offer. I didn't join as a member on my previous visit and I am not going to join now. I already have a Pilates membership that includes three studios with classes from 6am-8pm. Midtown has a Pilates studio but none of the class times work for me. They also have some reformers in the middle of the cardio area reserved for private lessons. If I have a private lesson I would prefer to be in a secluded area, not in the middle for all to see. The facility has many machines, a boxing area, a cycling studio, a theatre, a spa, a cafe, courts, pool, etc and this is a great place for those who need this. There are families who spend the morning at lessons, classes, workouts, then join up in the cafe. This is great for those who are looking for this but it doesn't fit my needs right now.

I was looking for a foot reflexology place in the area and found this place. I called if they…read moreaccept walk-ins and they prefer a scheduled reservation. However they were able to take me in that day too. It's not a swanky place, for the price point the massage is very good. The bed I lied down on was a little run down, it was dipped in the mid section and was a bit uncomfortable at first. I had gone back again because the price is unbeatable, even if it's a bit of a drive from the city.

This place is for those of us who need an elbow to dig into the knots in our shoulders and strong hands to activate and soothe nerves in our feet. We have been looking for a new place for reflexology and clothed massages for a year. (You can look through my profile to see why we no longer go to an establishment in VH.) This might be our new go-to. For $39 you get an hour on a table, fully clothed, in a communal, dimly lit room. Half of the time is spent with reflexology on the feet and the rest of the time is on the rest of the body. You can ask for a softer touch, but my husband and I were looking for a place that knows how to use strong pressure. It was clean, and it appeared each client had fresh towels. We are crossing our fingers for a consistent experience.

If you tried, very hard, it would be difficult to match the level of operational ineptitude on display daily here: I booked 20 treatments to be done consecutively M-F for four weeks: ...not once, not twice, but five times within a span of four weeks my scheduled appointments were canceled or changed without any notice. This is after arranging child care, taking time off work, etc.. And then I was accused of missing the makeup appointments they secretly scheduled for me in lieu of my actual appointments--- they even tried (hard) to bill me for them. They are so disorganized, I had to provide a credit card on four occasions to make a single payment... then I was accused of being in arrears on my account. Truly a surreal experience. Stay away.

A warm welcome at the door every time, and always willing to help. I even forgot a hair tie once and a lady in the art room cut me some stretchy material and I made a pony tail holder. That was awesome. 2. Gym: they have a awesome lifting area. I do HITT workouts and there is plenty of room. Only problem I have is: no slam balls, and drinking fountain is no where to be found downstairs (bring water). 3. Locker room: clean, provide blow dryers. Only problem is showers. Takes a while for water to get hot, stalls too small with only a curtain that doesn't really cover you and you run into it when taking a shower which grosses me out. All in all I am happy, and would recommend you checking this gym out.
