Until January, this was Met-Rx, one of our last gritty bodybuilding gyms. Then boot-camp fitness company The 12 took it over. Happily, the shiny new machines and designer-workout-wear crowd hasn’t deterred the seriously competitive bodybuilder set. In the early afternoons, the place still has an old-school “pumping iron” feel. $40 a month
