About
The Locust Street Athletic & Swim Club provides a comprehensive wellness experience anchored by its exceptional thermal facilities. Gym members consistently highlight the quality and cleanliness of the sauna and steam room, describing them as "perfect" and "on point." The venue offers both dry and wet saunas, which are noted to work exceptionally well alongside a reliably hot whirlpool. While a dedicated cold plunge is not explicitly mentioned, the large, clean swimming pool offers a potential contrast element. These pristine thermal amenities are housed within a historically beautiful setting, featuring stunning original tile work in the pool area, and contribute significantly to a recovery-focused environment that members say lowers stress and feels like a treat.
This gym breathes new life into a restored historic YMCA building within the 21c Hotel, honoring its origins while offering contemporary fitness and wellness. The facilities include a five-lane swimming pool, two distinct workout areas with a wide array of upgraded equipment suitable for all levels, and two fitness studios for group classes. On-site massage services in treatment rooms provide post-workout relaxation. The staff, including trainers like Luke and Mika, receives frequent praise for being exceptional, friendly, and attentive, with personal training leading to significant member progress. The overall atmosphere is welcoming and well-appointed, integrating access to the hotel's restaurant, bar, and art museum, creating an all-in-one urban oasis for body and mind wellness.
