INTRODUCTION:
When it come to gay hangouts, I've been to bars that are more like sex shows and bathhouses that have been more like BDSM dungeons, so it was actually something of a relief to go a gym that actually has a lot of decent gym equipment in it. The Sansom Street Gym is located in downtown Philadelphia, and I'm not surprised at all that it draws quite possibly the most coveted group of gay men out there: hot ones who like to pump iron!
The place is big enough to actually hold a lot of social events, too, so in reality this is one of those few places that really does have a little something for everyone. Philadelphia's gay community has a lot of choices now in how they wish to spend their time, so it's great that places like this are really stepping up their game.

ABOUT:
When it comes to working and checking guys out, Sansom Street Gym has got you covered. Open all day and night, every day of the year, it (obviously) has a gym and a whole lot more to keep you occupied no matter when you stop by. Membership is required, and while $10 can get you a day pass, it's a better deal for a six month pass, because it comes with a free room immediately (and these rooms are quite clean and spacious, and each has a television). The gym itself is quite large and has several pieces of modern workout equipment, but there's a lot more to this place than just exercising.
They have a great sundeck, which is perfect during the summer months, but they also have the usual sauna and steam rooms. All of these features means that even if you're here during the day and there's not a lot of other people here, you can still have a good workout and relaxing time.
But when the place does start to get hopping on the weekend, they have a dark play space where anything goes (watch your step and careful with your hands), and a very large lounge and dance area, which comes in handy during Friday and Saturday night social events. All in all, Sansom Street Gym is big enough on its own to practically be a club on the weekend, and a gym all the other times. The only thing that unites the two is just a lot of guys coming by to hook up and have a hot time.
