America's wealthy are joining longevity clubs. Here's what each one actually costs.

From a $100,000-a-year club in Greenwich Village to a $200,000 door fee on Fifth Avenue, America's longevity clubs are booming. Here is what the big names charge, and what the money actually buys.

The country club used to be where wealthy Americans went to belong. Increasingly, it is the longevity club: a members-only space where the point is not golf but your own body, measured, scanned and optimized alongside other people paying handsomely to do the same. The prices run from the merely expensive to the eye-watering, and the menus are more similar than the marketing admits.

Continuum, New York: $100,000 a year and an AI called the Orb

The most talked-about of them sits in a converted federal archive building in the West Village. Continuum opened in 2024 at 10,000 dollars a month, and by early 2026 had restructured to a range of 25,000 to 100,000 dollars a year. Members are onboarded with blood panels, a DEXA body scan, a VO2 max test and sleep tracking, all fed into an AI engine the club calls the Orb, which promises a personalized plan. Then there is the recovery floor: hyperbaric oxygen, cold plunges, a float tank, saunas and red light. One detail worth knowing, reported by The Quality Edit: the club employs no medical doctors, with practitioners instead holding advanced degrees in exercise science. Its website now redirects to a new brand, House 120, though the club has not formally announced a rename. Membership is capped, the founders say, so it never exceeds 250 people.

Aman New York: a $200,000 door fee

If Continuum is about data, Aman is about discretion. The Aman Club, attached to the hotel inside the Crown Building on Fifth Avenue, has an initiation fee widely reported at 200,000 dollars, with annual dues on top of about 15,000 dollars. Aman does not publish those terms; the figures come from Business Insider, and membership is invitation-only with a waitlist. What the money buys is less a clinic than a sanctuary: a 25,000 square foot spa over three floors, with a cryotherapy chamber, a contrast suite of infrared sauna and cold plunge, Russian banya and Turkish hammam houses, and rooms where functional-medicine practitioners offer IV drips and treatments. A single signature spa treatment runs 785 dollars.

Remedy Place: the accessible end

Not everything in this world costs a house deposit. Remedy Place, founded by Dr. Jonathan Leary and billed as the world’s first social wellness club, is the version aimed at the merely aspirational. Memberships run from 255 to 750 dollars a month, and single sessions are open to non-members, an ice bath class for 50 dollars, an hour in the infrared sauna for 100. The floors are stocked with the now-familiar kit: cold plunges, hyperbaric oxygen, IV drips, lymphatic compression, breathwork and a non-alcoholic Restoration Bar pitched as a night out that leaves you better, not worse. It has grown from one club in West Hollywood in 2019 to locations in New York and Boston.

And the pack behind them

The category is crowded fast. Equinox launched Optimize, a roughly 40,000 dollar a year program built around a 100-plus biomarker panel, and reported a waitlist over 1,000. Clinics like Fountain Life and Human Longevity sell annual assessments from around 8,000 to over 20,000 dollars. And Neko Health, the body-scan company backed by Spotify’s founder, is opening in New York with a reported 25,000-person waitlist.

Before you reach for your wallet

Here is the part the tours skip. Much of what these clubs sell has not been shown to help you live longer. The whole-body scans that headline the premium tiers are not recommended for healthy people, the biological-age tests are unreliable for individuals, and cryotherapy and IV drips have little evidence behind the anti-aging claims. The genuinely useful measures, the ones that actually predict how long you will live, are cheap and available to anyone. The clubs are selling belonging, beautiful rooms and a feeling of control. Just know which parts of the receipt the science can vouch for, and which it cannot.
