A woman who goes by the username Linds @life.with.lindz on TikTok has shared a detailed account of her experience at a private members club in New York City that she claims charges $10,000 a month. Her video, told in a “put a finger down” format, has since gathered 2.6 million views, over 206,300 likes, and more than 5,700 comments.
According to the creator, the club reached out to her directly through a DM, inviting her to an athletic challenge, despite her having no prior knowledge of them or following their account. She said she looked them up, saw the $10,000 monthly membership fee, and decided to participate anyway. She claimed she won the challenge despite being injured and was awarded a free one-month membership.
She said she had to delay the start of her membership due to surgery, which the club reportedly agreed to. After recovering, she contacted them to say she was ready, but claimed they kept postponing her start date over several weeks, citing being too busy.
The club allegedly collected extensive biometric data, including multiple vials of blood, before she could access any of the promised amenities
When her membership period finally began, she said the club called her the Friday before her first day and asked detailed personal questions about her diet, height, weight, activity levels, social life, and medications. Other social media stories about personal health data have also sparked concern, such as a woman sharing what her blood work revealed after a salty diet.
According to Lind’s account, she was told that her entire first week would consist of biometric testing, which she said they described as a process where all data would be fed into an AI system, followed by two weeks of personalized programming, and a final presentation of results in week four.
On her first day, she said she went in for blood work. She claimed staff told her not to worry about the forms, as they had them handled, and that the phlebotomist was handed the forms directly, meaning she never got to see them herself. She said approximately six or seven vials of blood were taken.
She was then sent upstairs for a resting metabolic rate test, during which a VO2 max mask was placed on her face while she lay on a massage table with her eyes closed for 15 minutes. She noted that staff asked her afterward whether she had managed to stay awake.
She also described a DEXA scan, during which she said her ankles were strapped together, which she found unusual. Following that, she claimed staff had already set up an account for her on a sleep study platform, gave her a large ring to wear for several nights, had her fill out roughly 45 minutes of online forms, and watched her enter a numerical password into an app on her phone before she left.
On a return visit, she said she noticed markings on her face from where the mask had been placed. She also reported that after using an antiperspirant provided by the club, her armpit became increasingly sore over the following days. She said the lymph nodes in that area became so swollen she could barely lower her arm, and that she ultimately had to visit a doctor and take antibiotics.
During a later session involving the VO2 max test, she claimed she experienced a tightening sensation in her throat, burning eyes, and a burning nose while wearing the mask. Similar allegations of unfair treatment at exclusive clubs have recently surfaced, like a woman claiming a Miami beach club denied her entry over her clothes.
She said she later emailed the club asking about the cleaning product used on the mask and was allegedly told it was a high-grade medical cleaner intended for endoscopes and catheters, despite the mask’s own instructions reportedly recommending warm water and gentle dish soap. She also described a float tank session in which the water was reportedly 81 degrees Fahrenheit instead of the expected 93.5 degrees, and said she left after about seven minutes.
Throughout her visits, she said staff repeatedly asked whether she had fallen asleep, including after her massage and red light session. “They bring you into the red light room,” she said, describing how an attendant was waiting for her when she exited and asked, “Ugh, did you just fall asleep?” She said she also overheard a staff member ask the masseuse whether she had stayed awake during her massage. The masseuse reportedly confirmed she had been awake the entire time.
She claimed that by the end of her membership period, she had never received her blood results, sleep study data, or the promised final presentation. She said the club stopped responding for a month, and her membership ended without her having accessed most of the amenities it was supposed to include. “They’ve taken all your biometric data and you have gotten nothing out of it,” she said, adding that she felt “completely scammed.”
The video drew a wide range of reactions in the comments. Some viewers expressed alarm, with one writing, “Why does this feel like a trafficking situation,” and another commenting, “I’m glad you still have your kidneys.” Another commenter claimed that if blood work was conducted, the club is legally required to provide her with that data within a certain timeframe.
Not all responses were alarmed, however. One commenter said there is an existing YouTube video covering this exact type of process at a high-end club and suggested it “really is not weird at all, just exactly what you’d expect for $10,000 monthly.” One commenter purportedly identified the club as the Continuum in Tribeca, writing that they had “heard lots of strange stories from that place.”
