I'm curios to see if this is all marketing spin or whether anyone has examples of routines that cause it. Everything online seems to be weighed down with marketing rubbish.

MFP'rs in NYC
Hi all! I'm going to be in Manhattan on Saturday, does anyone know if there is a gym that is pay-to-train? Boxing, kickboxing or just somewhere to hit some weights and a cross trainer?
