Santé Fitness & Wellness

Fantastic gym. Always in prestige condition and never too crowded. There’s an excellent selection for cardio and weights. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful as well. There isn’t much to pick from in the CWE, so I’m pleased that what we do have is as nice as it is. They have a variety of gym packages but I would recommend the platinum membership; it includes valet and laundry service which makes working out a breeze. Love going here.

Just visiting on a work trip, but this gym was beautiful! Everything was very clean and easy to get around — as well as smaller rooms available with tons of equipment!

Exceptional facility and priced accordingly is the best way to sum up Santé. I do have to confess I’m not a member, it’s not that I can’t afford the $ 100+ dollar per month membership there’s just a lot of other options in the area that suit my needs at a better price. I did take them up on a free week try out and bought a Groupon for some of the classes which were all very good. The gym and locker rooms and facility in general are absolutely immaculate. There’s no broken down machines like at those $ 20 a month clubs and no out of shape trainers hustling you while carrying around their milk jugs of water. I’ve never really understood the milk jug full of water concept but that’s for another review because you won’t find that at this place. In fact, you won’t find many people at all because at the price point the facility is never very full which is awesome in my opinion and the main reason why I’ve always been tempted to pay for this elitist style gym. More pros: The staff is nice, the weight room is very adequate and there is more than an adequate selection of machines to choose from. One downside is the lack of a pool. You can get some passes to the chase pool if you want to deal with kiddos and hotel guests but don’t plan on swimming laps or anything in that baby body of water. If you aren’t a fan of people, live close to the chase and are looking for a top notch facility, I’d highly recommend giving Santé a shot, just be sure to bring your wallet!

Great place. Great people.
Disappointing that the facilities don’t include area and or sauna. At a hotel as upscale as the Chase, you would expect better amenities.

I am slightly to extremely picky when it comes to the quality of gym I belong to, and I have to say… I am BEYOND in love with this gym!!! Everyone is extremely nice and helpful. I moved from Chicago where I belonged to a boutique gym and was looking for the same kind of experience, and I have definitely found it! James (the membership advisor) was nice and informative. I adore him. Amanda at the front is always smiling and seems to know what I need and who I am everytime I walk in! I did a wellness consult with Meaghan (I think that is how you spell it) and she is the cutest and most fit individual that I have had a consult with! She also gave me a free massage (to use at the spa in sante) for doing the consult and joining the gym! They have aveda products in the extremely nice locker rooms with personal coded lockers (you don’t have to bring your own lock). They also do random promotional events (this month… attend 10 classes and you get to attend a wine event). Honestly, I couldn’t be happier and this gym makes me WANT to go to the gym. It is hardly ever crowded and has state-​of-​the-​art equipment. I am so happy I was able to find this little «gem»!!!

I’ve been a member since June and this is the best gym in the CWE and its surrounding area. I tried out several other gyms before joining, and Sante outshines them all. Sante is clean, well-​staffed, and never crowded. The classes they offer are outstanding, and they always have a variety of special events offered to members. Great job!

As someone who has never been much for working out, I was hesitant to join a gym. But with a wedding to get fit for, I wanted to give myself a bit of a push. Sante is attainable luxury — updated gym, great trainers, and a lot of different classes. I’ve had resistance stretches, personal training, and yummy after-​workout smoothies. And they usually let you try before you buy — e.g. taking a paid class to see if you like it, trying a week before you sign up. The whole staff is great too.

I had a great time testing out this gym for a week. They have great classes, and tons of machines.
The membership contact, Jill, was really friendly and showed me around, told me how to use the facilities, showed me all the rooms and made me feel welcome to come in anytime during the week and try out the classes, equipment and empty rooms for workouts.
Another nice thing is they do have spare rooms, and members are welcome to go into open rooms, hook up their music and use a private space to practice yoga or do a private workout.
I also went to the Ring In The New Year Expo, which was so much fun. They had chiropractors, I was able to use the Pilates reformer and receive a free demo, and they had a day full of a variety of class, all open to the public. I tried a Pilates class, which was great, not too challenging, but certainly not easy. You could see how the instructor was tailoring it to different experience levels, which is something I always look for.
Unfortunately, even with a corporate discount, it’s still 80/​month for 1 person. But, if you’re that’s a price point you’re comfortable with, this seems like a great gym.

I ventured over to the CWE this Monday to take a Pilates class offered by Sante. (I’ve been considering buying the deal they have posted on Groupon and wanted to check the club out!) The staff was very friendly and accommodating! Also, the pilates class was one of the best I’ve ever done and was the perfect way to end a long school-​day. It was a small class with a great instructor; I would definitely recommend it! I look forward to taking other fitness classes at Sante in the future!

The real benefit of membership is the classes. Pretty much any fitness class you want to take (p90x, tabada, yoga, spinning, etc) is covered and they are constantly changing to give you new variety.
The gym itself is clean, decent, but overall not crazy impressive. You’d think you could at least get access to the pool or other features.
The BIG drawback of this place is the price. Depending on whether you want to do month to month or full year, membership runs between $ 80 and $ 100 a month.

Couldn’t find a recent review on here, so I thought I’d add one. I just joined this club today and can’t WAIT to start working out! The club is SUPER clean, quiet and intimate (hard to accomplish in 18,000 square feet!). The staff members I met today were friendly and helpful (I was expecting snotty, being as I was at the Chase!). The few members I saw working out were just regular folks, too! The multi-​million $$ reno has resulted in a modern facility — not intimidating at all! All of the equipment is hi-​tech and everything was in working order! Pricier than the chain-​gyms, but for the perks, WELL worth the price. Tons of classes, too!

Been a member since the place opened, and it is probably my favorite place in St. Louis that doesn’t serve alcohol. Great gym, great equipment, great people, great classes, and it’s usually empty. I start most of my days there with a WSJ, some cardio, and sometimes come back for a yoga class in the afternoon. Cheers!

I have been so bummed to learn that while many things in STL may be cheaper than SF, mani pedis are much more expensive… as are gym memberships. Now, I’m sure I could get a much cheaper membership if I go to an old, dingy gym with limited equipment and no classes, but a comparable gym to what I am used to is the Sante at the Chase.
Don’t get me wrong, this place looks great — it’s new, extremely clean and as you will see from the pros, there are fab perks. For now, I am giving is a solid three stars (not higher because of the price tag), but as I hope I don’t get fat with all of STL’s delish, greasy restaurants, perhaps the price will be worth it.
Pros:
— CLEAN. If you read my reviews, you know that I am a total germaphobe. Gyms are usually quite gross, but given that the Sante is still relatively new, the machines are new and the locker rooms are truly impeccable.
— Speaking of the locker room, it is one of the nicest I have seen. The lockers are full sized and you don’t need to bring a lock since they all have keypads. The showers are still clean and are stocked with all Aveda products because of the Chase’s salon. This is amazing, as it resembles more of a spa than a gym.
— They offer classes with your membership. I have yet to attend, but I will update my review once I have more details.
— They validate your parking in the Chase garage. Platinum members (which I am not) even get valet.
— With my membership, I get a 10 percent discount on the Chase’s spa and salon services as well as a discount at a few CWE restaurants and boutiques. This is an awesome perk.
Cons:
— Despite paying what I think is a hefty amount, members still have to pay to use the Chase pool, per day. I’m sorry, that is simply ridiculous.
— The discounts at nearby boutiques are great, but no partnership with Lululemon! I’m sure that is Lululemon’s doing, but I have to call it out.
