A harsh response for a simple question. Angry about something?
OP: I've been a member of NYSC for quite awhile. They have a ton of locations and so there is one close to my workplace and another branch close to home. Since the best gym is the one you actually go to, I'd base a big part of your decision upon which is most convenient.
Blink Fitness is a newer chain, owned by equinox, which is competing in the bare bones market. It's 20 bucks a month, and you'll have access to tons of cardio equipment, adequate free weights and weight machines. What you won't get is classes, a sauna, a big locker room, or towels. I'm a member, and enjoy it more than Planet Fitness.
I'm also trying to find a good gym I had a LA fitness membership back in Miami before relocating and noticed they have none here. They also own Ballys but I havent seen those here either.

My husband used to belong to NYSC. For the price he was paying, he decided it wasn't worth it. The NYSC closest to us did not have as many amenities as other NYSCs and it felt like it was on the smaller-side.
Then he joined Bally's, which wasn't that great. When it closed down, he joined PF and he actually likes it. It has everything he needs at $10/month and the one he goes to is new so everything in it is new. To pay over $60 more per month to have access to towels and a sauna just didn't seem worth it. For $20 a month, you can get some more stuff out of PF like use of all their gyms, tanning/massage chairs (if you care), and other stuff people may or may not care about.
I would just go and check it out if I were you. That's what my husband did. He liked it and joined shortly thereafter.
