Temporary Gym Membership
 
Does anyone know of a Gym situated close to the financial district that offers temporary gym membership? We are staying for 10 days and plan to eat ourselves silly but don't want to get too fat! Or if you have a better idea on burning the calories please do make suggestions!

Thanks

Financial District where? NY, Chicago, Boston, Tulsa?

Your hotel may have gym facilities, but if you already belong to a gym, you may be able to use your membership card to use affiliated gyms for a nominal fee. Check with the gym, and also check with the hotel.

Sorry, Financial District in New York City. We are travelling from the UK so don't have membership in the US.

New York Sports Club on Wall St will probably be your best bet.

You can also try www.ballyfitness.com, where they offer a free 2-week guest membership.

Make sure you don't sign up by accident.

to get the "free 2 week guest passes" you usually have to show local ID--they're trying to get you to sign up for real memeberships, which won't help them if you're from out-of-town. Most health clubs offee pricey ($25+) day passes--not sure about longer weekly memberships at a discount
