We heard whispers last week that the David Barton Gym at the Gansevoort South wouldn't open on time this month and today we have confirmation--an email to all Miami members about the delay from DB himself.

Hammers are swinging, dust is flying and equipment is being polished and readied for delivery. Because of a backlog at the Building Department, construction is now scheduled for an April completion and official opening in mid-May. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience this delay may cause and I promise that in May you'll be pumping away in the best gym you've ever been to.

For current DBG members, they can workout inside the Flamingo South Beach which houses a much smaller facility. The club is also offering outdoor workout programs on the beach at the hotel until the gym opens.

As for the hotel, reservations are still being taken for select rooms on March 24th. But we don't expect much to be open aside from that. Let's hope the building dept. backlog was just for the gym and not for the hotel as well.
