Washington, D.C
New York Sports Club Reopens near DC’s Dupont Circle
New York Sports Club (NYSC) is returning to its former home near Washington, D.C.’s Dupont Circle.
The company inked a 23,000-square-foot lease at 1211 Connecticut Avenue NW, just south of Dupont Circle, and will open on Monday. NYSC had operated a club at the location until the pandemic, but circumstances at the time required the company to vacate the space.
“As the world reopened, and we were navigating the challenges and changes the pandemic brought, the landlord approached us with a proposal to return,” Bill McMenamy, CEO of New York Sports Club, told Commercial Observer. “We envisioned a return to this area with a revitalized and forward-looking concept, designed not only to meet the evolving needs of the community, but to bring an exciting new fitness experience to the D.C. metro area.”
NYSC’s gym features a recovery lounge, personal training, expansive barbell racks, a dedicated cycling room and more. It will also introduce a new boutique fitness concept as part of its 1211 Club – a first to the region.
“Fhitting Room, which we acquired last October, is the leading HIIT [high-intensity interval training] and strength training studio in NYC, and it’s coming to 1211 later this fall,” McMenamy said.
DSC Partners owns the property, having acquired the 130,000-square-foot mixed-use building for $49.5 million in 2010. Over the last 13 years, the company completed a $6.5 million renovation, which included improving common areas, restrooms, the installation of a new HVAC system, and an updated building lobby. It also increased rent more than 20 percent to $50 a square foot for the office component, according to the company.
NYSC has 60 clubs throughout the East Coast, and this is its fourth in D.C., joining clubs at 3100 14th Street NW, 1835 Connecticut Avenue NW and 2251 Wisconsin Avenue NW.
“This area shares many similarities with the other neighborhoods we proudly serve throughout the DMV region, aligning well with our target demographic,” McMenamy said.
JLL represented the landlord in the deal. It was unclear who represented the tenant.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Today is Thursday, December 26th. Good morning! This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Mary Reichard.
MYRNA BROWN, HOST: And I’m Myrna Brown. Up next, WORLD commentator Cal Thomas on a bad Christmas tradition in Washington D.C.
CAL THOMAS: When Washington politicians speak of a Christmas tree this time of year, they are not referring to an actual tree. It means they’ve loaded up a bill with another kind of “green,” the kind that’s decorated with money.
The “bipartisan” bill passed just before midnight last Friday, minutes before a government “shutdown” would be an embarrassment to anyone but the politicians who voted for it. Like Christmas, this scenario gets played out almost every year with no regard for the growing debt.
The first bill was more than 1,500 pages. Elon Musk denounced it and suddenly it shrunk to over 100 pages, but that was too little for the big spenders. What passed last week at 118 pages may take days to digest, but you can be sure of one thing: pork is part of it. Always is.
For the last ten years, Republican Senator Rand Paul has published what he calls a “Festivus” report on just some of the wasteful spending in which our Congress is engaged. His latest – and you should Google it to see it all – includes the following:
Some of the highlights – or lowlights as I like to call them — include funding for the National Endowment for the Arts to subsidize ice-skating drag queens and promoting city park circuses. Additionally, the Department of the Interior invested in the construction of a new $12 million Las Vegas Pickleball complex. Interior also allocated $720,479 to wetland conservation projects for ducks in Mexico. This year, the Department of State is featured eleven times, with expenditures including $4.8 million on Ukrainian influencers, $32,596 on breakdancing, $2.1 million for Paraguayan Border Security (what about security at our border?), $3 Million for ‘Girl-Centered Climate Action’ in Brazil, and much more!
Hey, it’s not their money, it’s our money.
At least this time a pay raise for members didn’t make it to the final bill. Members should be having their pay cut, not raised, for under-performing.
Perhaps Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk can do something about the misspending that has led to the unsustainable $36 trillion dollar debt with interest of $1 trillion dollars just this year.
Others have tried and failed to break the spending habit. Maybe they will succeed this time, but the odds are not good. It’s not called “the swamp” for nothing.
I hope you had a Happy Christmas. Your politicians did.
I’m Cal Thomas.
