The Monterey Health Club

The Monterey Health Club provides a sauna and steam room as part of its wellness amenities. Gym members frequently highlight the availability of these heat therapy facilities, which are noted for being clean and well-maintained alongside the rest of the venue. The sauna and steam room offer spaces for relaxation and recovery following a workout. This full-service gym on the Upper East Side also features a heated indoor swimming pool that is uniquely well-maintained for a Manhattan gym, with a reservation system to guarantee a lane. The facility is equipped with top-of-the-market fitness equipment across its workout areas, including a cycling room and a Pilates room. A full schedule of fitness classes is offered, led by instructors described as nice and fun. The gym maintains a clean environment and is often noted for being rarely crowded, allowing for uninterrupted workouts. Staff, including the manager Laurie, are consistently praised as friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The club offers an on-site playgroup for children and provides a cooperative atmosphere among members. Booking for services like the pool is managed via a dedicated app. Membership is considered affordable for Manhattan, with a particularly reasonable fee structure for seniors. A noted point for early risers is that weekend opening hours begin at 9 AM.
