NYSC - 0$ to Join

I'm a member of NYSC - The club near my apartment is brand new, never crowded , and full of helpful (attractive) trainers. The classes are phenomenal: At the end of my Thursday night yoga class a professional violinist plays while we meditate.

I pay $69 a month - $20 is subsidized by my employer. Many employers (including mine) have promotional rates with NYSC...which is really just the standard rate upgraded to "Passport" at no additional cost.

Passport allows you to go to any NYSC, any time - Upgraded from, your gym + other gyms at non-peak hours (including weekends). I joined before I got my job, and I never bothered upgrading to Passport. I am at the level of simply trying to go to my home club - forget other clubs.

I happened to join during one of the may promotional moments of NYSC's history. I think I scraped by with a $20 join fee. Currently 0$ to join until June 30th. You have to join for two years, but if you need to bail early, you can always transfer your membership to someone else, and I'm sure Craigslist would be helpful for that.
