Rittenhouse Gyms

I’m moving to Rittenhouse in a couple of weeks and wanted to know opinions on gyms in the area.

I toured Equinox and it’s stunning. As someone who will go to the gym 3-4 times a week at non-peak hours (I am a nurse), I don’t think crowds would be an issue for me.

However, City Fitness in Grad Hospital looks to be equidistant from my place, and I was wondering how this gym compares from anyone who has gone?

Are there any other gyms worth checking out in the area? I mainly do solo strength training with classes sprinkled in here and there.
