Speaking of gyms…I stll think Empire Fitness is the worst gym value in Hoboken. Even if it was $5 a month, it would still be the worst value.
Signing up for a membership there is like getting back together with an ex….they make all sorts of promises about how they are going to change and make things better. But once you agree and sign up – BAM! It’s just the same old shit day in and day out. Never changes

and breaking up with an ex after you get back together with them is almost impossible….same as breaking up with empire!

In June/July Club H has their annual anniversary sale and charges $1-$5 for the initiation fee, depending on what year they are celebrating. NYSC does this in Jan of every year and charges $20.08 for inititian fees depending on the year. (IE-2007= $20.07 fee, etc) NYSC also offers roomate/family member deals (4-5 each) to all their sales staff twice a yr (June and December) where the rates are $35-$55 per month locked in. So if you’re friends with a staff member there, get your hands on one of these passes. Club H offers corporate deals fot tons of business in JC/Hobo, call your HR dept and see if they have any linked to your company or ask abotu how you can work a deal out. My company just signed a deal for $475 for the year = $39.58 per month with no fees.

NYSC is great if you like working out in a damp basement.

or if you actually work outside of hoboken and have acces to all clubs in the Big Apple…duh. nobody goes to the one near the PATH. Or THAT is certainly not why they join NYSC..

FAP, read the article: # New York Sports Clubs (NYSC): No weekend plan. $80/monthly. $25 daily. They do offer a passport that lets you work out in any NYSC (good if you’re near one in the City) for $95/month.

Club H rates are $110-$115 a month to use just one location, $125 to use all of their locations, (they have 4 I think?) and they whack you with a $100-$200 initition (thanks for walking through the door sucka) fee
Weekend rates aren’t available and daily rates are $25, or $20 if you go with a member.

You are a sucka if you pay the initiation fee. Just balk at it, and they will drop it or wait until July when they get desperate and do the “waiving initiation fee” dance they do every year.

i would love it if you could just pay for taking a class. say, maybe $5-10/class? I’d totally do that.
