It's a bit of a trek to get there. You have to take the number 7 train to the very last station - Flushing, Queens and from there you catch a shuttle to the spa.
If you go on a week day it's only $35 to enter. It's $45 on a weekend.
At the check in counter you are given a wristband that you scan to buy things and to open your locker. You put your shoes inside a shoe locker in the women's or men's change room and get your uniform from the check in counter.
As you can see it's a hot look. Everyone is wearing the same outfit in the co-ed sections of the spa. I usually start in the women's section of the spa. This is the tricky part for some people - you have to be naked in the pool area. No swimsuits. Nothing.Before going in the tubs you have to shower, scrub, and shampoo throughly. They even give you a toothbrush. All the soap, shampoo and toothpaste is provided. You can buy face-masks and lotion if you want.
There are several hot tubs with different temperatures some with jets. There is also a cool pool and a freezing cold plunge pool, steam room, and sauna. You can get a salt scrub from a woman in black bra and panties for an extra $50. I have no idea what goes on in the men's room but I imagine it's more or less the same...
After this I usually go upstairs to the snack area. There is a Korean restaurant on the top floor where you can get your bibimbap on or you can go with the traditional hard boiled egg snack (delicious!)
After I digest my lunch I try out the different kiln saunas. Each sauna has a different health benefit. Inside you can sit or lay on straw mats and take the heat.
After that I go up to the roof top pool area where there are two large pools with jets and a wooden Japanese style hot tub.
There are other services here that I haven't used, There is a gym, a day spa with massages and manicures, a hand and foot only massage and a relaxation room with loungers and a personal tv at each.
