There is nothing standard about St. Paul Athletic Club. At once a gym and spot for social gathering, the club was originally founded back in 1916, and has managed to maintain much of its original splendor and grandeur from that bygone era. Ellipticals are situated amidst eggshell-hued pillars and beneath sparkling chandeliers, while large arched windows allow natural light to flood into the hardwood floored yoga studio that once functioned as a grand dining room. Various degrees of membership provide multiple options for prospective members, which includes access to the facility's many perks—including a full bar and a lavish lobby lit by an ancient fireplace.
