Gym memberships and spa days can be a money-draining or time-commitment nightmare — but I'll save that rant for another day. Tribeca Health & Fitness gives us respite from such setbacks. The health club now boasts a private spa massage cove in addition to three floors of state-of-the-art exercise equipment, weight-lifting stations, a juice bar, and a ridiculously spacious private fitness studio. Enjoy a relaxing, much-deserved one-hour massage away from the gym atmosphere. Once that muscle tension and stress has been released, take advantage of the weights, treadmills, and ellipticals in view. That's right — you're officially a member of the gym. With a month's worth of access to the equipment and showers, there's no stopping you from achieving a fit and fresh Summer bikini-ready body. Need an extra push? Schedule your 30-minute personal training session and let the fitness experts give you tips and tricks for working out those pesky trouble areas. Think of it as your own personal rejuvenation and fitness center rolled into one venue. Never thought I'd say this, but it's not so hard to become a fitness and spa junkie when gyms like this make it fun, easy, and accessible.
