YMCA Anyone

@uraniumfish The 92nd St Y isn't affiliated with the YMCA (http://www.92y.org/content/frequently_asked_questions.asp), and is a part of the Jewish Community Centers Association of North America, but they do have a health and fitness center.

I've also made mention of the great YMCA facilities in Brooklyn. When I first moved here I went to just about all of the facilities, and as I have a family membership with a Florida YMCA location I was allowed to use that membership for a certain amount of visits at each center. I have yet to check out this new Park Slope facility, but rest assured it's on my to do list.

There is also another YMCA facility opening in Ridgewood, Queens; student memberships are offered at $35 a month and adult memberships are $40.

Visitors who have YMCA memberships at other Y's throughout the country should recognize that most of the New York facilities participate in the Away program - meaning that you can use your membership for visits at facilities in the city.

I don't bother to go to the Y or any gym for that matter, because the showers are usually filthy. The guys stare at you, especially if they are gay. I went into a gym three years ago to try it out. I went out and worked out, When I went to locker to take a shower. There was this pervert sticking his head into the shower stalls, looking at the guys as they washed up. He was staring at their private parts. He even did it to me. I told him to get lost. After that experience, I stopped going. I bought a portable gym and work out in my own apartment.

But you haven't been to the men's locker room have you BroadwayBK. I've been to three NYSC clubs and found two to be dirty. The third one just had a bunch of perverts and gays around, which made me feel very uncomfortable to shower.
