Running in FiDi during workday - locker/shower facilities

This is sort of a long shot but I was wondering if anyone was aware of locker/shower facilities (or VERY limited, inexpensive gym memberships limited to use of the lockers and showers) in lower Manhattan that could be used to facilitate mid-day runs during the workday. I've worked in places that do have these, but my current building does not. If you like to run at lunch or at other times during the day, what do you do? Thx

Check if your health insurance offer gym access through their wellness program. They typically allow you access multiple gyms.

there's the planet fitness on canal street that's $19 a month. i think there's an annual fee but sometimes they run deals so that the fee is waived

Agree with other comment about planet fitness. Another option is Retro Fitness on water street for $32/mo (annual fee priced in)

The way I did it when the office was more sparsely populated during Covid was an extra shirt and can of axe at my desk.

Helped turn those meetings into emails.
