Editorial Review for Sweat Fitness-Fitler Square – by Kat McAndrew
The Scene
The "sweat and be seen" trend that took off with New York City's Crunch gyms is in full effect here, where Sweat clubs (there are now three in the city) offer members the chance to work out within full view of the sidewalk passers-by. Live DJs spin nightly at the downtown location to keep the pace--and volume--higher than you'll find at some other local gyms.
The Goods
With dozens of treadmills, eliptical trainers and other cardio favorites, along with a sizable weight training area, Sweat does big business with folks looking for traditional fitness programs. Want something a little more interesting? Check out the group class schedule, which offers high-energy workouts like hip-hop cardio, ashtanga yoga and the trampoline-based urban rebounding.

I've been a sweat member for 6 years. I go to the 24th street, center city and queen village locations and workout 5-6 times per week. I don't understand where the few negative reviews on City Search are coming from - they're totally ridiculous. I'm a petite, unassuming looking woman and I feel very comfortable working out at Sweat. It isn't a pick-up scene like Ballys -it's actually not a *scene* at all. People are really there to exercise. Folks using the gym are curteous and friendly. It's never so crowded that you can't get on a machine or can't get into a class. The front desk staff always greet me with a friendly hello. They usually play good music (which I don't think is too loud - it's a gym - it's not like you can hear the music over your ipod). The equipment is in good condition, they keep it VERY clean, the cardio equipment is all hooked up with individual tv monitors, etc. Pete is an incredible kick-boxing instructor and Megan is one of the best yoga teachers I've ever had. I love Sweat. To the guy who was upset about being kicked out for grunting - good riddance. Sweat has very publicly stated "no grunting" and no dropping dumbells rules. And for good reason. It sounds so disgusting and is offensive when some muscle jock is grunting at the top of his lungs and then slams the weights onto the ground. It's really disruptive to other people's workouts and just plain rude.
Pros: Best trainers and instructors anywhere; great locations; amazing classes
Cons: The only con I can think of is that the women's locker room is cramped

Sweat 24th Street is a great gym for many reasons. It has a friendly, knowledgeable staff at a convenient location. If you really want to sweat take Jacqui's Friday morning spin class, her music selections are a plus. Otherwise, take advantage of the personal training staff to add structure and discipline to your workout. Sweat's prices are affordable. My only complaint is that Sweat gym is missing some of the extras such as a sauna, steam room, and whirlpool.
Pros: You can go to any of Sweat's 4 locations, Frequent promotions
Cons: Bare bones locker room
