Achieving VIP Status At NYSC 115th St Location Fairly Easy
Getting on the VIP list at the opening-in-Fall New York Sports Club on 115th St isn't as difficult as say, getting into the Piping Rock Country Club on Long Island's North Shore. Instead of needing a hundred years' history of family wealth and influence, all it took was going to the URL advertised on the soon-to-open location's window.
However, getting the monthly rate one signed up for to stay constant throughout one's contract seems to be another story. I joined NYSC about a year ago, and chose the two year membership as it gave me a better rate than the one year deal. So it came as a surprise when a letter from Town Sports International showed up saying that my rate is increasing by $2.50 a month starting in September. Huh?
I'm calling tomorrow to find out what this nonsense is about, and if any good stories result, they will be posted.

You morons need to read your contracts. There is an increase every Sept 1st. For ALL members. I am asuming you can read???

In case you cannot read here is the statement about the increase under the monthly billing of dues section in your contract:
TSI may adjust monthly dues once each calendar year during the term hereof, by no more than $3/month, by giving members thirty (30) days prior notice, posted in the clubs and/or sent by mail.”

They should actually cut the price by $3 at this location for facing the projects while on the treadmill!

Is the location west 115th Street or East 115th Street?

It's on the north west side of the intersection at 115th St and 5th Ave, so it just makes being on West 115th St.

But the projects are soo massive that they are on both the East and the West side , so no matter which way you look , you are looking at mess

A good business in the wrong place the savages in the area will just end up writing all over the place like the local lowlifes usually do, and doing all the other bad things they do!

Now the new Harlem parasites who run to every new gym to get away from the nasty whites who stink up the other New york sports clubs (white on white avoidance) and those who think they found a hidden gym ( the first whites at the 1st NYSC in Harlem on 125th) can have a beutiful view of your neighboors in the projects. Work on your ducking skills and stay downstairs and away from the windows. There was a black gym in that very same spot- The Harlem Sports Club but thanks to the banks cutting their loan(probably planned by NYSC) it never got the promised money to open. They had to remove the new equipment there. somebody got paid off-but thats the new Harlem. They we not going to allow a black owned and run gym reap the benefits of all the new tenants moving in the area. Barring the new buildings in the area with gyms there will be a lot of traffic in that gym. Once the newness of it is run into the ground by those members who swarm into a new gym like locusts and the 6am crowd really crowds the joint, there will be some room there to work out. Hopefully the new Harlemites will be terrified of the projects and won't work out at night. Hopefully the whites don't turn that gym into Chelsea west or some pick up joint in the steam room like they did on 125th street. This time they decided top have more muliturtural pics of people who work out. Black members had to bitch to the managers at 125th street for black photos in that gym. How the fuck you are not going to have no black pictures in there? they added them quick.Just because a few whites move in doesn't mean you can save ad money and use the same fucking ads that you use downtown. Anyway buy bigger and softer towels-keep those rough ones to sandpaper my crusty feet
