Best Gym near New-york, New-york

I just had an incredible session with William at the lifetime spa, and I can’t recommend him enough! He really listened to my body, focusing on areas of concern and working tension and stress out in ways I hadn’t experienced before. I felt he was fully tuned into what I needed, creating a personalized experience that went beyond just a massage. After the session, he took the time to suggest at-home exercises to help me continue working on those areas. It was a genuinely holistic and thoughtful approach, and I feel so much better! Highly recommend William if you’re looking for a massage therapist who truly cares and goes the extra mile.

One of the best spots in NYC! This has quickly become our favorite. The studio spaces are top-notch, and the facility is well-maintained and very nice. While the gym area looks a bit older compared to the 23rd Street location with its newer equipment, there's plenty of space and equipment available. It's a cozy, modern place that's never too crowded. Plus, their acai bowl is a hidden gem—better than many places in other parts of Manhattan!

It's a nice gym but looks like management does not care. Hydromassage chair is broken for a few weeks. Cycling studio bikes are partially broken and despite reminding the front desk they don't get fixed. I take cycling classes and noticed classes keeps disappearing on the calendar one by one perhaps to save money. I was a member at dumbo location and it has way more classes and better gym .time to switch to equinox

This is my favorite Lifetime. It's well designed, tons of classes, equipment, terrific instructors, convenient for trains, etc. What sets it apart, however, is how well managed it is. I've observed an unusual pattern; employees who work there are happy/content. I know not just because I see it; I've also asked them. That vibe trickles down into everything else - including member experience. I think this is likely attributable to the person who runs this location (Michael C). He is well-liked and respected by staff and members. He's a natural leader; the elusive kind that truly cares and somehow keeps everyone happy while managing to also be the calm ship's captain in sometimes stormy waters. Achieving that in NYC - the pinnacle of difficult personalities / high stakes - is no easy task...

I go to Lifetime one wall all the time - Friendly staff and great facilities/classes. Ron, Mary and Alejandro are fantastic class instructors alongside Will who is brilliant for massages in lifespa. Everyone is highly knowledgeable about exercises and effective recovery.

Equinox was a major letdown. The staff was unhelpful, the gym overcrowded, and cleanliness poor. For the high price, the service and experience were subpar, with overcrowded classes and constant upselling. Not worth the cost—look elsewhere for a gym that values its members.

Total waste of money. The trainers just don't care. I paid for sessions and had trainers cancel on me, try to move my session, or forget I had a session altogether. The equipment isn't even that nice anymore and they're constantly out of bath towels. The back bathroom constantly smells like vomit (not sure what's going on there). Save your money and pay for an average gym because that's what this place is, an average gym with "luxury" pricing.

I'm deeply saddened and disappointed by how my recent issue was handled by management. My encounter with Kelli, the Assistant General Manager, was far from satisfactory. After a distressing experience with a trainer on Sunday, August 4th, I have decided to cancel my membership. The trainer approached me with intrusive and inappropriate questions, which Kelli later described in an email as "weird." Apparently, this is how trainers are trained to seek out clients, which is troubling given that the trainer didn’t even introduce herself. Initially, the trainer made me uncomfortable by commenting, "nobody should be touching these machines with their bare skin," and then questioned whether I had cleaned the equipment. As a member, I find it unacceptable that a staff member would make such remarks. Regardless of whether I cleaned the machine or not, it is Equinox’s responsibility to ensure that equipment is consistently sanitized. Things took a further turn for the worse when the trainer approached me again about 30 minutes later. She said, "I was looking for you to bug your life," and proceeded to ask if I was interested in working with her. After I politely declined, she proceeded to ask, "well, what do you do if you don’t mind sharing," while scrutinizing me. I shared these details with Kelli, who repeatedly questioned how I could prove that the trainer was not looking at others in the same way. As a woman who has lost 130 pounds, I know firsthand what I experienced and find Kelli's dismissal of my concerns unacceptable. To make matters worse, Kelli threatened to hang up on me during our conversation because I was emotional. This behavior, combined with the numerous negative reviews about her, clearly shows that Kelli is not a good manager and does not care about her members. Equinox used to be my safe space, but after this experience, it no longer feels that way. I am truly disgusted.

Really poor experience at Equinox Tribeca. After over a year of being a member in Boston with a great experience, I moved to the city and had to transfer clubs. I joined equinox Tribeca and had a horrible experience. The worst part being management. The club manager, Kelly, was the most rude and disrespectful person I have ever come in contact with. After an unresolved issue with billing, I had reached out to the club multiple times, and they continued to say that the club manager would be in touch, either via email or phone. I waited over 6 weeks for a call, and never received one. After calling numerous times, I finally received a call back from “Kelly.” She screamed at me on the phone, refused to help me or escalate the problem, and then hung up on me. After reading other reviews, it seems other members have had similar issues with this same club manager. Really disgraceful.

The gym is fine, its nothing special but its fine. The management of this stupid is HORRENDOUS. I had a yearly membership that I was not able to use due to moving out of the city and the manager ghosted me when I tried to cancel, but I signed a contract so I understand. At the completion of the contract I reached out to ensure I didn't auto renew on a yearly basis and was told by the front desk associate that the manager would give me a call. Crickets, I ended up getting charged in April. I reached out again and was told I couldn't cancel over the phone and I would get an email to cancel. Once again, crickets. I got charged in May. Called to cancel, and finally was successful in cancelling however they cant promise I will get refunded for the last two months and its up to the manager and they will give me a call to discuss. I wont hold my breath.

Very unique experience! You will love this place, as long as you go in with the right expectations. They keep the structure similar to what I imagine it was 100 years ago- it has a very old school feel, and is not renovated/ modern by any means. If you can appreciate it for its history and authenticity, then you’ll love it. There were 3 saunas, 2 steam rooms, showers, and a cold plunge! I went on a weekend around 5pm and while it was packed, there was still enough room to do everything!

Saw this place on an episode of Billions years ago they were getting the Platza Oil leaf treatment and I’ve been wanting to come try it ever since. Every time visiting NYC I never make it until tonight! I spent several hours going back and forth from the hot rooms to the cold plunge then I tried the Platza. I enjoyed the entire experience. Wonderful staff, clean facilities, and great value. I felt like a million bucks leaving there.

I visited the Turkish baths in Manhattan, and while the baths were decent, the juice bar left a bad taste. I ordered two juices ($10 each) and a banana ($1), but the bill totaled $31. They added a tip without telling me—super sneaky. We get it, you're trying to take advantage of us rich folks, but slow down. It’s frustrating when a business isn’t upfront with pricing. Be careful—they might just try to pull a fast one on you.

Perfect Facilities but the staff could tone it down on the sarcastic attitudes when a new guest is asking questions. Just because the staff is having a bad day doesn’t mean you can treat your guests a type of way.

Authentic NYC Gem.Highly recommend. Stop in get some heat. Fantastic masseuses. Platza treatment. You haven’t lived until u experience it. They have a great kitchen. My favorite is the borscht.

I have been going to this Lifetime location for a few months now and overall have enjoyed my experience! I recently did a few personal training sessions with Chase and highly recommend him as an instructor. He was very helpful and patient, teaching me new workout routines with clear explanations and encouragement. Being someone who doesn’t typically use a lot of different machines at the gym, Chase made me feel comfortable trying new things. He tailored our sessions to my fitness goals, and I’ve already noticed progress after only a few sessions!

Nice gym but I would expect more for the membership cost. Main complaints: - Not enough bikes. Only of the 4 stages bikes (and 1 has a bad seat) and they are always full during peak hours. They should move some bikes from the cycle studio to the main area. The bikes in the cycle studio aren't available when there is a class, but the classes usually aren't full. - They have a group classes every morning and it they take up a lot of space, most of the treadmills and open area. - Not enough squat racks and cable machines, these are almost always full during peak times. - Not a well laid out gym, there isn't enough floor space for stretching.

5 stars ONLY for Tues & Thurs GTX morning with Shaimane and decent sauna in women’s locker room. Otherwise, 1 star for poor customer service, esp for the ridiculous membership fee. Rented a locker for $100 a month that was filthy and dusty. Have to cancel with a 30 day notice EXACTLY one month before on the day, cannot request advance cancellation. Ridiculous, poor, inconvenient, and not worth it. Disappointing.

For my first time at a Lifetime Gym, I'm not particularly impressed. Long story short, the building/machines are nice and well-maintained (for the most part), but the little details aren't being kept up. Hoping that the Wall Street and Midtown locations are a bit nicer. Cons: 1. Little things like the quality and finish of the hair dryer. I don't expect a Dyson, but this is a hair dryer you'd find in a $99/night hotel. Both of the units in the men's locker room also had very visible wear, and the speed settings were completely worn off. 2. The "cleaning station" at the incline bench press was a bottle of hand sanitizer and paper towels, no sanitizer bottle to be found. At another part of the gym, there was the standard "wet nap" style of wipes, but I didn't bother trying those. 3. Towels are visibly old and pretty thin. They're either so old they've started to yellow, or they're being dried on too high of a heat by whoever cleans the towels. (I didn't see an in-house laundry for them, but I didn't check too hard.) 4. There was a lot of random empty space. The #/type of machines they had was above average for a normal gym, I'd say similar or better than an average Equinox. That said, I feel like they could be using the space they have more efficiently, with a potentially even greater variety of machines. 5. The locker room is decorated nicely, but it has lots of little nooks and crannies, I'd imagine it's not fun to clean. That said, when I came today around 230pm, there was a not insignificant amount of hair in the little nook I selected. The locker itself was pretty clean, and the vanities were a bit messy/hairy when I arrived but were cleaned by the time I was finished with my workout. 6. Pretty small hot tub, no cold plunge or ice bath. I didn't bother testing it today, but my initial impressions of it were middling. 7. Beautiful stairwell leading up to the gym, but the color/style of the marble and lack of friction tape made it a bit precarious going down it. I assume it’s ADA, but visually was a bit hard to tell as I was going down where each step ended. Pros: 1. All of the staff were/looked friendly. The woman at the front desk was professional and very smartly dressed. We had to wait ~10 minutes for a membership advisor to get my membership activated because I'm signed up to be a founding member of their midtown location, though that wasn't her fault and she handled it well. 2. Once I was in contact with the membership advisor, he was very knowledgeable and helpful, was able to answer my questions about this and other locations, and got me processed quickly. 3. Being able to use the InBody any time I want will be very nice; TMPL/Equinox had them available for a price/with personal training. 4. Lockers were large enough and deep, combo-style, no issues. 5. Men's steam and sauna were large and got hot. Steam room needed to be cleaned when I used it around 3pm, but it wasn't dirty enough for me to not want to use it. (I'm not sure if it had been cleaned that day yet.) I wasn't convinced about the "press for steam" style vs the timer initially, but it eventually filled the room with steam nicely, so I'm a fan. 6. All of the plate-loaded machines in the weight training area had plenty of plates. It was obvious that someone took the time to load/sort the weights on each machine, which I really appreciated. This was just my initial impression of the gym, I’ll give an update after a few weeks to see how consistent things are.

Lots of equipments here and it has a pool with 3 lanes. I hate the sauna in this location, always have a bunch of people come in fully clothes with sneakers and headphones on. The maintenance people worked so hard here and they really do a good job but members are honestly ill-mannered

I got injured at Michaela McGowan’s spinning class due to her negligence on how to use the bike properly. She gave zero instructions on the equipment prior to the class and rushed me out of the room after my injury. The gym manager Jill has been helpful but the instructor Michaela has taken absolutely zero responsibility in addressing the issue, not even an apology - definitely not the experience anyone would have wanted.

Used this gym since moving to the area in 2022. Trainers and staff are wonderful, very friendly, always happy to chat and make me feel welcome but unfortunately management spoils it. I would visit during off-peak hours specifically to use the weightlifting platform 3 times a week for almost 2 years. Recently the gym removed a row of cardio machines to create more space for gym equipment and also removed the weightlifting platform, when asked if the platform was being replaced or returned management said there "isn't room for the platform" despite the cardio machines being removed to make more space on the gym floor. I train and compete in weightlifting so don't require much equipment but the response from management after the removal of equipment that my two years of membership could replace two+ times over was abysmal. Comically enough when the platform was removed trainers and staff reached out to me as a member to let me know because they cared more about the gym users than management. It's a shame because I loved the community at Equinox and as someone who works from home that is really important but I have had to go elsewhere, fortunately there's a new gym across the street, recently opened, that has four weightlifting platforms. It is disappointing how management treats their members who have been using the gym for two years and the choices management make. This review is in no way representative of the coaches, my time at Gramercy Equinox meant I crossed paths with some phenomenal people and fitness professionals; Brennan, Ricardo, Alessandra, Tuesday, Mikka, Ana, Shahida, Carlos, Jamal, both Omars, Brian, Jenny, and Will.

Damon was an amazing massage therapist. Would 100% recommend him!!! He was really great to talk to and helped address everything I wanted done. I don’t have any insights on the gym itself though the staff was nice but it was super busy around 6p.

the gym is pretty good - not too crowded if you go off peak and they pretty much have everything you could want/need. i used to think it was overpriced but then started taking classes and that makes the monthly membership worth it. lydia dallas got me really into pilates and was just a pleasure to work with and talk to while keeping me completely at ease despite profuse sweating and a pitiful lack of flexibility. ugo and ahmad teach the most kickass boxing classes - love ugo for technique and combinations but ahmad's class will absolutely kick your ass and he'll do it with a smile and the best energy ever. used to kind of just take it on the chin and pay a premium for the gym closest to me with bearable crowds, but i really did end up loving it once taking classes with these three.

This location will screw you by trying to offer you a month of free membership and then roping you into a full year. Incredibly predatory and I will never patronize Equinox again.

This is the only location in NYC that has RIDE x SPIN classes. This location is relatively spacious and well-kept. There's a red room for RUN x LIFT on the main fl and a red room for RIDE x LIFT downstairs. Tons of lockers - a good amt downstairs and a ton upstairs + inside the Men/Women lockers. The Women locker room is spacious. I love the OUAl products and have gotten some tree samples (OUAl, Kiehl's, etc.) a couple of times at the studio through their partnerships. My go-to instructor is John T. on Saturdays! He has great energy throughout the class + does a great job at instructing both bikes + floor simultaneously. Unlike RIDE x LIFT classes, 25 min is spent at bikes/ floor, then you switch once. The lightest weights for their RIDE x LIFT classes is 8lbs. Staff here is nice and helpful, especially in setting up the new studio bikes. First pair of shoes are free, then it's $3 rental afterwards (cheaper than SoulCycle). They can be used for both bike + floor.

This review is specifically about this location. The workout itself is amazing. The Chelsea’s Barry’s location though is incredibly disappointing, dirty and not with the constant increase in cost. The bathrooms are gross, lockers are broken, mold is everywhere. I love the cycle class but it gets harder and harder to justify 42 dollars a class when the location is just utterly nasty.

Definitely an effective workout but missing a lot of the coaching aspect that I like about other HIIT classes I've tried. The class was well organized and clean. The lights and music were nice. But there were like 50 participants and one coach. He mostly just gave instructions on what to do. He didn't check/correct anyone's form or offer hardly any words of encouragement. There are too many people in the class for that to be practical though. There was also not really any opportunity to interact with other participants during the workout, which some may like but if I would become a regular I would like to have a bit more sense of community.

I love Barry’s. I love Charlie! I left the class feeling so pumped and energized! Can wait to go back!

They’ve definitely gone down in quality while going up in price. It’s so dirty. Clean your showers and towels. The towels smell so bad like body odor and it’s a reoccurring issue. The showers are slimey and moldy. All other locations aren’t like this. Please just clean the place with the increase that has been added to our classes use it for cleaning service. Side note Cameron and keoni are 100/10

Nice spacious gym with a water view. Not fancy but it has what you need. Also has a nice smoothie coffee snack bar.

Disappointing Experience and Poor Communication I had a frustrating experience at Chelsea Piers Fitness. During a walk-through with Zack, I was told that my 16-year-old son could use the gym, which made me excited to get him a membership, especially since they offer boxing. However, both times I brought him, they asked for his ID. I explained that all he has is a school ID, which doesn't have his birthday on it because he's 16, but they wouldn't accept it. When I tried to cancel my membership on 1-14-25 6:30pm, I couldn't do it directly. The manager said someone would call me to cancel, but that never happened. Overall, it’s been a big waste of my time and money. The lack of clear communication and poor handling of the cancellation process were very disappointing.

One of the best gyms I been to. Offers a good amount of sport activities (rock climbing, basketball, swimming, running). The gym equipment's are clean and most importantly plenty of space to workout. The gym staffs are nice and they offer lots of classes as well.

By far the best gym I have ever been to in Manhattan! Immaculate facilities, tons of equipment, extraordinarily well-kept and fresh-looking locker room with an excellent sauna and steam room. However, what sets this place apart from the rest is the atmosphere and environment in the gym. It’s light and airy, with high ceilings and windows that let in tons of natural light, looking out to the river. Since it’s on a pier, you can even see the Statue of Liberty down the bay. It motivates me to come back every day. The sheer amount of activities here is mind-blowing, from the indoor track, boxing ring, volleyball, basketball, and pool. Even the stretching area is excellent, with the artificial turf. The cafe seating area can double as a coworking space with Wi-Fi and views looking south down the river. The coffee in the cafe is even good! They also offer a private locked bike storage area in the garage included in the membership. I can not say enough good things about this gym.

The facility is great and the new management (since 2019 I believe), just terrible. Right now, the swimming pool is closed for renovations: it was supposed to reopen on Labor Day weekend, it’s now mid November and still closed. On top of that, the management does not communicate on expectations on reopening timing. Terrible customer service. Also, be aware of hidden fees. I asked to freeze my membership because of the pool not being accessible and they are now charging me 30$ MONTHLY freezing fee: this is totally unreasonable and definitely gives me the feeling they are in the rip-off business. Please owners, change the management as soon as possible: CPF it’s been a lovely place for more than 8 years for me and the people in charge have been making the customer experience worse every day since they joined.

My daughter has been going for 2.5 years to the recreational gymnastics program and this season standards have fallen. Too many kids in the gym at once. Routinely starting late. Inconsistency with coaches. Management refuse to engage in any dialogue about making things better. Parents pay a lot of money for the logistics to be this wrong and several kids in our class are close to dropping out as the experience has been very poor. Coach Ty (who is great) did his best today but he ended up with 2 classes combined for some of the class.

I had the chance to enroll my daughter in the summer camp gymnastic. I love it! The staff is awesome. My daughter is happy with the camp because she says that there are a lot of activities that she is able to do such as bowling, sports, rock climbing, waterslide.

Important - call the main number, then "0" for the front desk, to inquire if they close early on a weekend day. Call ahead before showing up, so you don't stand before closed doors like I did on my second time coming here. Otherelwise: Great spot for Baseball and Softball batting cages and gymnastics. Entrance is on the waterfront, and you can either make appointments for the batting cage or walk in and buy credits.

Great facility. Great gymnastics instructors. Enjoy being able to see the floor where my daughter performs. We used to enjoy this when younger and now back for more fun

Great facilities with a mediocre gymnastics program. Best gymnastics facilities in the city, but the management is OK, at best. Ended up moving to Elite on the UWS and much more organized with a solid program. If you’re serious about gymnastics then 8 would not recommend Chelsea piers. If you just want to use the facilities then sure it’s fine.

Cant say enough good things about Kunal @ Equinox High Line. He goes above and beyond and puts his clients first - and never made me feel like the transaction was more important than the person. He's responsive to emails, always there to help if needed - he single handedly revived my feelings about Equinox as a brand. RE the gym itself: I really like this facility. It's a great, no nonsense gym. If you want the scene, this is not the place for you. All the premium equipment you'd expect from an Equinox, without any of the nonsense. This gym stays more quiet than other ones, which I like. Hardly ever a wait for a bench, or piece of equipment. Everyone seems focused on the workout. Facilities are always clean and premium. Would recommend.

I live in WV but make my way up to the Highline Equinox in Chelsea because it’s never crowded and the staff is so pleasant. The other clubs nearby are all Destination clubs so they cost more too. This is a great hidden gem!

Ridiculously overcrowded, there are 3 squat racks in the entire gym for 200+ people at any time. I consistently find myself waiting 20 plus minutes every workout for either 1 of 3 racks to open or 1 of 2 flat benches. Save yourself the time and walk to greenwhich equinox. I wish I could get my money back for waiting 20 minutes to workout in a basement…..

Whoever is working the desk today, July 12 at 3:49 pm refused to help me look for the Pilates mat that I left at this club a couple days ago. He repeatedly told me I could come look for it myself. He said he was the only one “at the desk” and offered no solution. I asked him if anyone else could look and he said again I can look for it myself. As I pay over $300 per month for this membership to be able to go to several locations, I feel that as a “Consierge” best of the best club, someone should happily take the time to look for something that a client left before I make a trip out there. I don’t always go to that location. He could have offered to call me back and not even done it - but the attitude is clearly lacking any desire to be helpful. I’ve noticed this lazy attitude at other locations too from the staff, not the instructors. Several times I’ve walked into a new club when I’m in that area to be met with an annoyed stare of “why are you looking at me” when the employees are on the clock.

I LIKE EQUINOX GYM, BUT WHAT I APPRECIATE ABOUT THE GYM ARE THE PEOPLE, THE GENTLE MAN THAT GAVE MY NEPHEW AND I THE FACILITY TOUR NAME WAS JASON AND HE MADE US FEEL AT HOME GREAT PERSON, GREAT GUY , I FELT VERY WELCOME AT THE GYM, THE FACILITY ITSELF WAS VERY NICE AND THEY HAVE TOP OF THE LINE EQUIPMENT, MY ONLY OPINION ON THE GYM IS THAT I LOVE LIFE AND THE LITTLE THINGS ABOUT IT THAT PEOPLE SOME TIMES DONT APPRECIATE, SUCH AS THE FITNESS PART OF THE GYM IS IN THE BASEMENT WHERE THERE IS NO NATURAL LIGHT, AND NATURAL LIGHT ALSO CREATES A SOURCE OF SERENITY AND PEACE AS WELL AS AMBIANCE, OTHER THEN THAT AMAZING GYM ,GREAT PEOPLE... STOP IN FOR A TOUR NEXT TIME YOU ARE AROUND

I had an amazing experience at Crunch Gym! Every time I visit the city, I make it a point to return to this fantastic facility. The front desk staff, especially Dahlia, is incredibly professional and welcoming. She always greets me with a smile and is ready to assist with any questions I have. The gym is well-equipped, clean, and has a great atmosphere. I highly recommend Crunch Gym to anyone looking for a great workout environment. Can't wait to come back!

short: It's a fun and clean place to work out with classes, showers, and towel service included. The ambient lighting is beautiful and inviting. money-saving tip: check with your employer to see if you're eligible for the corporate rate, which is about 30% discount off the monthly rate long: I inquired about the corporate rate for my employer. I was excited to learn that it's about 30% off. I met with Louis that day after work. He gave me a tour and explained things. I really appreciate the exceptional experience he provides. I signed up immediately. The place just feels right. Unlike other gyms like Planet Fitness and blink where I want to leave as soon as possible, this place I actually want to stay, relax and recover, then workout more.The classes really make the membership price alone worth it. I work in an office so I'm sitting down all day, therefore I need movement and I get it from the classes. I did sign up for a dozen personal training sessions, and it's worth it. Jordan, the lead personal trainer, is very knowledgeable to a point that it shows he has a master degree in it. My personal trainer is Octave, a former soccer player. He is very patient and positive. This is the first time that I felt that the personal training was actually customized for my goals. In the past I had a personal trainer at blink and the guy seemed to have one general plan for everyone because he didn't incorporate anything I asked for and when I confronted him about it he insisted that I need a general plan to get in shape. I canceled after the third session. Max and Brandon are also great. Now, this location does get crazy crowded, especially on Mondays. Basically: Monday to Wednesday is crowded. The great thing is that almost no one does legs at this location,so those machines are available every day and night. The first day I went, a girl had her personal belongings scattered on the machine and on the seat of a leg machine. I thought it was the girl on the next machine and she informed me that the girl is on the other side of the room. I approached her to ask if she finished using the machine, while she was busy crab-walking with a resistance band, and she told me that she had one more set to do. I was like oh no not on my first day I can't tolerate this, so I went downstairs and informed Louis that a girl was holding a leg machine hostage while she was doing a different work out at the other side of the room. He went upstairs and took care of it right away. Ever since, I mostly just do legs, personal training, and classes. I am very happy here. In comparison to Equinox, which I also joined, this is the smart choice: bang for the buck, and no twelve month commitment. Equinox does have refrigerated minty fresh towels that I do love. Highly recommended. For anyone looking for great classes at Crunch I recommend the following: - Michael A - Chelsea - Mitchell - 54th - Adam - Chelsea

Crunch Chelsea is a standout gym, not just for its equipment and staff but for the atmosphere and vibe that make every workout feel inspiring. The lighting and ambiance are next level, it’s modern, cool, and designed to keep you motivated. The dimly lit training areas are balanced with vibrant pops of color that energize the space, making it feel more like an upscale creative studio than a traditional gym. The manager was incredibly helpful and kind, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish. My personal trainer, Octave, was exceptional. Being French myself, I was thrilled to connect with a trainer who shared my background and understood my goals. Octave’s expertise working with artists, creatives, and models was evident, and his tailored approach was exactly what I needed. Crunch Chelsea combines style, substance, and an unbeatable vibe. Whether you’re there for the inspiring ambiance or top-notch training with Octave, this gym is a true gem. Highly recommended!

I absolutely love Crunch Gym at this location! The classes are fantastic, and the instructors are always motivating and supportive, which makes every workout enjoyable. Max, who helped me sign up last year, truly made a difference in my experience. He took the time to explain all the membership options clearly, ensuring I chose the plan that suited me best. Beyond that, Max has been incredibly helpful ever since – he’s always available to answer my questions, offer guidance, and make the gym feel welcoming and comfortable. His friendly and approachable attitude has made a big impact, and it’s clear he cares about the members' experience. Crunch is an amazing gym with great classes, a positive atmosphere, and staff like Max who genuinely go the extra mile. I highly recommend it! Inna

Crunch Fitness is one of the greatest experiences that I’ve had at a gym. Dahlia was so helpful and welcoming. She made me feel comfort and warmth with all of the support and information that she gave me with the entire gym and the process. I didn’t normally go to public gyms due to lack of confidence, but Dahlia helped me let go of all of the anxiety and fear that has to do with public gym. I’m definitely going to remain a Crunch member as long as I live in Chelsea!

I come to this SoHo Equinox 2-3 times a week before work, as it is on my way to the office. Something about biking to the gym on an empty stomach in 30 degree weather before the sun has risen makes me feel like Rocky. Like David Goggins. Like a 2013 Conor McGregor. I'm just so hungry. Being on the road when it's just me and construction workers out makes me feel so beast. It just feels like a win opening up the gym door at 5:45am, walking up 3 flights of stairs and greeting the sleepy staff who couldn't be less interested in my presence. I drop my stuff in the locker room and get down to the largely empty gym floor. Everyone else in here at this time has all my respect. I see 15ish people in here before me, and give them a subtle nod as if to say "I see you workin...they not like us..." I don't actually do that but in my head we nonverbally communicate this. I hop on the little squat machine that overlooks the intersection of Prince St and Broadway, pop my airpods in, and start listening to some old Katy Perry and Kid Cudi as I'm fighting for my life doing these squats. I mf love this machine, but I'm not gonna hype it up too much because then other people will start using it. It lowkey just collects dust in the corner. After getting an amazing 45 minute sweat, I head up to the locker room to shower and change. Few things have hurt my soul more than when they switched all the skincare products from Kiehl's to that brand Grown Alchemist. Grown Alchemist is hot garbage, idc. How you gonna increase my membership every year but downgrade the products? Make that make sense. FREE KIEHL'S! After risking my skin health with Grown Alchemist, I change into my button down, slacks, and dress shoes and clock into the matrix. The matrix has been whoopin me lately, but these early mornings here at this beautiful Equinox make me feel better, as at least I have done something for myself. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

The music at the entrance was loud and obnoxious. Because it is early in the new year, it can be extremely packed at times—but most of these new year resolution individuals will disperse as the year progresses. Good amount of seating for unwinding after a workout, and a large weight-training floor that isn't dominated by cardio machines like most gyms.

Nice gym but there is a huge theft problem here. I’ve been coming here regularly for 2.5 years. Today is the THIRD time I’ve had something stolen here. You’d think that a SoHo location of a premium gym wouldn’t have this issue with its clientele or staff but it does seem persistent The funny thing is the items I’ve had stolen are relatively inexpensive ~$100 compared to some of the things people put into their locker. Be careful!

To say the least, there are two words that best express this location. Smelly and dirty. I would not recommend this location other than the classes and basically that’s it. It is a bigger location however, the cleanliness doesn’t even come close to where it needs to be. Equinox if you are reading this, I’d love to get on a call with you and go through all of your Manhattan locations as of them need a lot of work. I speak to a lot of people and you guys lack heavily inconsistency, and other options are being explored by many consumers because of that.

Came in and was greeted by Emma at the front desk. She was so lovely and friendly! Love this spot! I belonged to the Equinox in Lincoln Park Chicago for a few years and this one is even nicer!

Im visiting NYC and I’ve been to Sui 3 times in 5 days! Love Sui. As a certified yoga teacher, 5 years part time teaching and 13 years a student I feel this is one of the best studios I’ve experienced globally. The quality of teaching, class format and styles, proper heat and lights, reception experience , and change and shower facilities are all outstanding. Can’t wait to return!

Such an incredible experience. From the moment I walked in there’s a nice calming ambiance through. Everyone was friendly, the facilities were clean, and the room was so unique with the heating, lighting, and salt rock wall. I took Tori’s Sun Moon class. It was the perfect balance of yang and cooldown of yin. Her instruction & energy is impeccable. Looking forward to returning soon :)

I arrived at Sui Yoga for the 6PM class led by Delaney Kelly. After getting a matcha and water, I rented a mat and towels at the café. The relaxed atmosphere provided a good transition into the practice. The studio is located in the basement, and I was placed in the Sky Room, which features a salt wall and infrared heat. The heat was well-regulated, enhancing the ability to deepen poses while maintaining comfort. The space is designed to encourage both contemplation and meditation. The class was close to full and caters to an intermediate to advanced level. Despite the challenge, the session was fun and relaxed. Delaney introduced playful elements into the practice, including a moment where we were encouraged to jump around like kids to loosen up.

Deeply thankful to Sui Yoga for hosting such beautiful event with meditation experience, journaling reflections, sound bath, and amazing party! I feel so cleansed and relaxed after the meditation, and received so many small gifts (notebook, snacks, and tea) from the event. Truly appreciate Sui Yoga for building a community that’s full of love, mindfulness, and generosity. If you’re looking for not only a meditation classes but a warm community, highly recommend!

Just took my first class at Sui and the way they've used the space is really incredible. Main floor is a cafe with immediately cozy vibes. Downstairs changing and shower facilities were comfortable, and the yoga studios have these beautiful illuminated salt walls that give off warm light (no photo as I was adhering to their policy not to bring phones in). The instructor, Susan, was very thorough in guiding everyone through the sequence, set a pace that everyone was able to comfortably follow, and was also playing singing bowls in between instructions to add another dimension of ambience. I've been to a number of studios around the city and you kind of just get used to continuing to hear honking cars, sirens, etc, but for those seeking a true break from the noise of NYC to catch their breath and emerge with noticeably less tension, this is the place.
