5 Star Gym in Union Square.

by McCannS

Beautiful gym, never too crowded. Extremely clean, and very service oriented. This is the only gym I would go to in NYC. Ive been a member of NYSC and Equinox. Clay is far superior.

Doesn't Even Deserve 1 Star

by KettleBelle

This place is sad. It pretends to be high end but misses the mark. Its dirty and all the people working there are unprofessional. Lazy front desk employees are too busy playing on texting to pay attention to customers. I was double charged one month and couldn't even get a return phone call about getting the issue resolved. So I had to go into their "business office" in person to get an answer, where the staff was having a loud conversation and the bitchy horse-faced old lady and hairy old man were talking about sterods they been doing. THIS IS PROFESSIONAL? Not to mention the place is not kept well, the classes are boring, the trainers just go through the motions, and there is nothing enjoyable about this place. Go to Boom Fitness, Club H, David Barton, Crunch, or Hype instead.

Excellent spa find for facial!!!!

by H2ogreen

I have not been for a facial in the city for a long time. While there are many spas to choose from, I had yet to find a place with a practitioner, worthy of my time, money, and skin! I usually go when on vacation now a days. Mostly I want the best care from the esthetician, one who is skilled, and also who has great touch. It is hard to find the whole package. The woman, Caryn who worked with me was very accommodating, used great products, and really knew her stuff!!!! She was down to earth, not at all pushy, or stuck up like some of the sales people, (oops I mean estheticians) which is such a turn off, even when we want to buy needed products.There is a lot of crap out there, and she was a gem. She only talked when necessary, so I could 'relax', and I did. Its hard to wind down, and it takes me a while, with the stresses of life. She did deep cleaning with extractions, and used Vitiman C, with AHA. She also did a little work on my neck, and she felt better than some massage therapists! And I'm very particular, fussy. Awesome results, with less pending irritation on my face. My skin really asorbed all the great ingredients, and she used only what worked. I was really impressed! And I learned a few things. The fitness area I saw was very zen feeling, as far as fitness goes. The cafe had some great healthy creative options, will come back for a meal, or real smoothie. Really good energy, Clay is a temple like said.

Great Facial and Brows

by Megdear74

I came here for the first time last week, and I have to say, this place is a hidden treasure!

You definitely have to keep your eyes peeled to find their door (just a little orange sign until you're right on top of the entrance), but once you're in, this gym/spa is like stepping into another world.

I had a facial and a peel with Maya, and I have to say it was the best I've had in years in the city. I don't get facials too often and when I do, it's really about great extractions. She had a perfect touch and was so thorough. She also offered great tips after and somehow still made the facial incredibly relaxing.

I caught a special that day for 1/2 price brow shaping and since she had been great, I went for it. Also perfect, and very thorough.

Definitely worth every penny, and I'll be back here regularly.

• Pros: atmosphere, service, quality
• Cons: only dry sauna
