I'm having really great time at Birch and Iron! the monthly membership is a great value with the 1/month personal training sessions. it's clean and cozy, the music isn't too loud, i feel zero judgement towards my unshaven legs, there are never men there making noises (sometimes I bring my boyfriend but he's polite). would love showers and a japantown location but happy to support it as is!
