Best Gyms with Cardio Machines near New-york, New-york

Its always clean. I almost never had to wait for a machine, but it did tend to get crowded sometimes because it's a little small. Everyone that worked there was always nice and helpful. The locker rooms were nice and big with plenty of stalls and lockers. All in all its been a 10/10 experience.

I'll give 4 stars for now because I only went once after work. I will say that I felt very comfortable at this location. I went to the one in the heights and felt weird cause everyone was staring at me as I walked in. At this location the staff was friendly and helpful. It was clean and I love the layout and how easy it is to find everything. It wasn't packed and I got there at 9pm. I wish they were open later on Friday Saturday and Sunday because when I get off work I like to go since it's in the area but they will be closed already. Overall my first experience was pleasant and I'll keep going for sure.

Planet Fitness offers a great variety of equipment for every muscle group, making workouts enjoyable and effective. As a Black Card member, I love the added perks like the massage chair and bed. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed being a member here. The customer service was great and very attentive. This gym had a lot of different pieces of equipment and I felt that I did not have to wait at all for a certain machine to become available. Unfortunately I had to move and I did not want to continue my membership elsewhere but when I come back to NY I do plan coming back here. I loved the spacious bathroom and locker room. Very well put together as well as affordable plus accessible.

Staff are nice but management never fixed the machines, unfortunately seen this at all planet fitness locations. Lacking benches and treadmills/stair climber/other machines are out for several months and all thats said is they’re waiting on parts. Its clear the people that own this place do not actually care for maintaining it. Obviously not expecting anything amazing out of a budget gym, but this is just negligent.

short: great location for people that love stairs and working out without air conditioning. The only reason I tolerate this poorly managed location is because Mitchell is an amazing dance instructor. long story: My dance buddy Sam recommended that I go to this location for Mitchell's dance class on Sundays. Mitchell is a character. I don't agree with everything he says, but overall, he seems to have unlimited energy. He is great at making any person at any dance level feel welcome and supported. It's been several consecutive Sundays that the air conditioner is not on, and Mitchell is not able to turn it on because the management locks him out of the controls. At least Mitchell cares, and we all suffer through it as a team. It's ridiculous for the amount Crunch charges to members to not let the class instructors turn on the air conditioning. My personal trainer is out of town for the holidays, so I signed up for the boxing class on Saturday. I even purchased hand wraps that are required. I could feel from the start of the class that the air conditioning was not on. I assumed it wouldn't be much cardio, so I thought I could tolerate it, but the class turned out to be much more cardio heavy than I expected. I asked the instructor if the air conditioning was off. Unlike Mitchell, he told me to go talk to the front desk if I have a problem with the ac, so I left the class. I stopped by the front desk and asked them why the air conditioner is off every Sunday. The guy told me that the only person that has access to it is the operations manager, and when that person is out, no one can turn it on. WTF kind of operation is this? Crunch has classes seven days a week. People are paying over $100 a month, and no one can get an air-conditioned class the days that person is off? The management's practices are unacceptable. This is not Planet Fitness or Blink. I only go and recommend the dance class with Mitchell. For anyone looking for great classes at Crunch I recommend the following: - Michael A - Chelsea - Mitchell - 54th - Adam - Chelsea

It is a good gym, quite organized and with good equipment. But it really bothers me a lot that on many occasions they play with people's time, on several occasions they always open up to 40 minutes later than the time they have planned. An example of today, Thursday, November 28, 2024, they said they would open at 7 am and I was outside for 40 minutes in the rain and cold waiting for them to open and in the end I had to leave. The worst of all is that I took the pre-workout and to my surprise the gym was closed.

People are complaining about the recent renovations, but they did give advanced notice (I got multiple emails for weeks leading up to it in addition to signage around the gym) and extended access to other locations in the meantime. My experiences here have been almost entirely positive. If you’re looking for a straightforward, clean, safe gym, this is all of those things. The cost kept me away for a while but I honestly think it’s worth it just for a reliable and clean location close to home.

Awesome gym. Was there on a Saturday, not crowded, three floors of equipment. A little bit disorganized though, but still a great place to workout. So far the best Crunch location I’ve been to

It’s ridiculously crowded at times and a lot of people sit on machines texting. Also at around 5 the same group of grown men yell loudly at each other across the gym. It would be fine if it was a $30 membership. It’s a rip off for the price. Go to another gym if you can.

I am heartbroken that I need to: 1. Rate this location poorly, 2. Stop my membership. I recently switched to Equinox because of this location of lifetime. This location was the easiest access to me. However it is NOT WORTH IT! If you’re going to the other locations in midtown they are absolutely worth it. But this one has such a small area for weights/machines. It’s too small for me. There is only one of each machine so that means that you need to constantly be waiting to use another machine because someone must be using it. Also, one thing I really hate, I do not see any wipes to clean the seats. Maybe it’s just the times I went but I NEVER saw any wipes to clean the equipments and it’s so disgusting to think about. Maybe it’s just my OCD? But it was a major turn off and honestly the biggest factor as to why I made the heartbreaking decision to end my membership. Trust me I did not want to do that. Lifetime is the ultimate luxury gym. The changing rooms are gorgeous and the gym always smells AMAZING!!! Best scent I’ve ever smelled. If you are not a germaphobe like me, then go ahead and join Lifetime. I just can’t bring myself to justify having a membership when I feel uncomfortable or disgusted or paranoid when using the equipment.

I’ve been to fair share of gym in manhattan and recently retired from equinox. This place makes me feel positive energy and welcomed. Even the maintenance staff are friendly unlike equinox, I think that goes to show what type of company Lifetime is.

Kinda small but if you avoid off hours it's usually not busy and there's a good selection of weights & machines. Nice that there are multiple squat racks and benches. Kept clean and lockers are nice.

Had an amazing ARORA strength training class. On Friday, August 23 with Jo. I was the only participant LUCKY ME! Lifetime please more Arora classes. The classes are perfect for any age. Not just for those who crossed the Senior citizens bridge.

This is the smallest gym I’ve been to outside of a hotel. Very easily crowded. It is just too convenient to my office to not go.

Here now. People talking loudly ion their cell phones. Someone is clearly on drugs the way he’s waving his arms around. The girl next to me is wearing see through pants so we all know she’s wearing black panties. 2 super sad looking trainers. What are we all paying for?!? Where are the better options???

Went with a friend to join a class at 74th St. Have friends who have had day passes. Petite front desk woman at 8a on Thurs was extremely short with me and told me I had to speak with membership who wouldn’t arrive until mid morning. I was kind about the misunderstanding. She probably shouldn’t be at the front desk, doesn’t know how to interact professionally with clients. I was going to rejoin at the west side location, I was a member for many years pre Covid and now this interaction makes me rethink it. Unfortunate.

If you’re looking to resume your workouts after Labor Day weekend, find somewhere else. You’re going to work out in a hole in the ground with the AC not working at times, some other times, there is no hot water. Overcrowded classes (and it’s not even September yet). Also you better know how to properly do the exercises in the group classes, because none of the instructors is ever going to correct you. They come in and out, they don’t even look at you. This is what $300 a month get you in New York City.

Would be a great gym if the AC worked. The AC is constantly broken for months on end. Management is not helpful and refuses to provide credits even when the AC is broken in 90 degree heat. As far as I am aware, the AC has never worked properly in the cycling studio. I joined this gym so I’d be motivated to go- the heat in the gym leaves me motivated to stay home. Management is dismissive and not responsive of these concerns.

Just recently re-joined this gym and very glad I did! Andrew helped me get an amazing deal re-joining. Would definitely recommend.

Pros: Staff were nice to me. They speak English only so if you cannot speak English use google translate! Very good security. I felt safe in there. Women bathroom door locks so no one will walk in. Gym and sport facility was top notch!! Great coffee shops near by. Disliked · Think insane asylum decor. Smells like a stinky wet dog in the room. Bunked needs to be bolted to the wall cause you hear squeekin everytime someone moves. Room was extremely hot. Doors need to be painted a cheerful color they are all scrapped and brown color. The hallways are sad looking. Shower low pressure Luke warm.

My first time staying here & at first was kind of a culture shock but I learned to truly enjoy the experience. Next to Central Park, YMCA westside is A beautiful 1928 Architectural icon Hostel hotel; Loved the location, love the pricing, Worked around the bathroom situation. The pool area & locker room was a definite bonus and the workout room was appreciated At no additional cost. Do bring your own personal appliances as there are none on site. But sooo many places to see and eat at within walking distance. Would absolutely do.it again.

Great location, mins walk to Central Park, Columbus circle and Subway station. 15mins walk to Times Square and every other attractions nearby. 20mins walk to the MET and AMNH. If you expect this is a star rank hotel, it will fail to reach ur expectations, however if you think this is a university dormitory, the facilities will fit the requirement. This an affordable, comfortable and safety property not only in West side but entire Manhattan! The property have around ten private bathrooms at the floor of semi-private bathroom room, and you can easy access to the view of Central Park from the windows, it also comes with bottle filling machine which can save ur bottle.

Here are the lyrics to the iconic song "Y.M.C.A." by the Village People: Young man, there's no need to feel down I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town There's no need to be unhappy Young man, there's a place you can go I said, young man, when you're short on your dough You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find Many ways to have a ball It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A Young man, are you listening to me? I said, young man, come on and take a plea You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal You can do whatever you feel Young man, I was once in your shoes I said, young man, I was down with the blues I felt no man cared if I were alive I felt the whole world was so jive That's when someone came up to me And said, "Young man, take a walk up the street" There's a place there called the Y-M-C-A They can help you, but you've got to be brave It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A Y-M-C-A, it's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A Y-M-C-A, it's fun to stay

Dirty beyond belief. I asked for a refund but they never answered. Bathroom didn’t have an handle and was clogged and full of insects. Window wouldn’t close, beds super old, sheets dirty. Should not rent out.

EQ HAS LOST ITS EDGE. The staff is largely wonderful. Nice front desk and sales team. The cleaning staff is always working as well as they can with what they have. The trainers… there are a few as fit as you might hope to one day become but are not at all the army of aspirational bodies EQ was once known for. The design and layout, while due for a renovation, is pretty good. There are a lot of windows, which is ideal. That being said, it’s a bit cramped for the number of members they have. Ultimately, EQs prices keep going up Up UP and its quality goes down down down. Poor financial management and performance likely explain why the local team is not able to address fixes as well and as quickly as they used to; showers and patched up ceilings go unmended for months on end. There are showers in the men’s locker room that have been broken for months. “Out of order” signs are the norm and not the exception. Additionally, back in the day you’d never see maintenance happening. It’d be expertly done during off hours. Now you’ll see the cleaning staff painting or quick-fixing tile grouting during operating hours. All last week there were boxes of tiles sitting around in the Lounge in the men’s locker room. Far from the luxury experience it was before Related acquired EQ… which exponentially got worse since Covid. If you’re gym shopping, go to LIFETIME.

OK gym, but I would expect no cockroaches for $300+ a month

One of the nyc branch which opened earliest in time. Feels Spacious, no pool or sauna just steam

Have been coming here a few months now. Front desk people always very unfriendly making it fairly unpleasant from the offset. Everyone who uses this gym has very poor gym etiquette - people do not put plates back when done, don’t wipe down after using equipment, stand right in front of the free weights blocking you so they can see themselves better in the mirror, and you have the constant feeling everyone is staring at you always. Men’s showers don’t feel very clean. Gym is always overcrowded (regardless of weekday vs weekend) and you have to wait for everything you want to use, particularly bench press and free weights.

Not worth the amount of money we get charged. This location is small. Many times there is a machine broken, towels are old, and during peak hours it is impossible to find a spot to workout. The majority of the classes are bad, meaning they don’t have good teachers compared to other locations. Most teachers have an attitude. In past year I only found 2 teachers that were professional and actually knew how to teach and what they were doing. Most of the staff is polite and helpful (that has been my experience). I wouldn’t recommend this location. Consider Chelsea Piers or LifeTime Fitness and if you are only lifting go to a Blink gym (this location is pretty much the same as Blink Fitness, this is not a high end gym as they claim to be)

I’m actually quite impressed. Was expecting it to be low on equipment and super overcrowded. The weight lifting equipment is in great shape, clean and plentiful. Good variety of equipment for all weight lifting routines. Bathroom was clean with plenty of lockers. If you need a gym in the area, worth taking a look.

John Radzik is the best manager in here. Not only is he funny and compassionate but he’s always professional with a big smile in his face. He hooked me up with my membership and made the signing up process so easy. I recommend this location to anyone.

Staff is awesome. Machines and locker rooms are good. However, the weight room upstairs doesn’t smell great. I know it’s a gym, but I’ve been to other gyms where the smell is only moderate and I can leave without feeling like I immediately need to wash my hair. The smell upstairs is pretty oppressive, to the point where I avoid the weights. Crunch staff, please add some air purifiers or look into a deep clean to help with this!

I’ve been going to this gym for about a decade. Checking in is an easy swipe. Several people who work there know my name and use it, which I appreciate. It’s clean, and my fellow co-members are courteous. I generally go early or mid afternoon; it’s not crowded at these times. They always have clean towels available. It’s a bit more expensive than I would like, but in NYC, it could be worse. That’s the reason I’m doing 4 stars instead of 5, along with the policy of if you’re going to freeze your membership, it has to be on the first of the month.

Smaller than other gyms. Clean, but sadly souna was closed. Most employees there are great. Had a bad experience with the manager who not only spoke to me disrespectfully via email but also lied about the monthly cost both in writing and over the phone. Crunch please train staff in managing positions. Specifically those who are on salary.

There are so many amazing fitness options available at this place! From boxing and yoga to Pilates and swimming, they have it all. Not to mention the kids' daycare services and the wide range of TV channels in different languages. The facility is always clean, and the staff is incredibly welcoming. Plus, they provide everything you could possibly need for your workout, from hair ties to personal hygiene items, including shaving kits, all for free. It's truly a top-notch establishment with personal trainers on hand to help you out.

The facilities are nice but they don't really care about maintaining them. They only have 3 woodway treadmills and one has been out for over 2 months! For runners this is the only treadmill that matters especially in the winter so the demand for it is very high. There is always a line! I've alerted the front desk multiple times but nothing seems to happen. I'm sure they are like this with other things this is just the only thing I come for... Very disrespectful towards their customers. Edit: thanks you for reaching out. As of now all three treadmills don't have Internet connection so it's not possible to access the PR plans. The manager was very kind about trying to fix it. I hope it doesn't take another couple of months 🤞🏻

I LOVE this equinox. 4 floors. Lots of space on each. Tons of equipment. And lots of sunlight here. A well stocked smoothie bar w sandwiches. Locker rooms are clean, as is the rest of the club. I went early afternoon on a weekday and it was packed without feeling packed!

I’m a first time Equinox all-access member and I absolutely love it! I do group fitness and I lift weights. I think it’s worth it if you go often (5-7 days/week) and use the gym. This location is clean, has friendly staff and trainers, is home to a gorgeous barre (and other cycling/yoga/boxing/strength) studio, and I appreciate that they have a SoulCycle bike with a monitor + access to SoulCycle on demand & selected livestream classes. Alex was my membership advisor and he was helpful with answering questions I had about different types of memberships and my experience felt very positive/personalized with him (not pressured in talking to him)- highly recommend working with him if you have any questions about membership or Equinox in general!!

I love coming to this location because it is convenient from my home. Front desk staff are always friendly, and sometimes will even acknowledge you by name. The store employees are always helpful and friendly when you need to buy new clothing or a new water bottle. The women’s steam room is top-notch and perfect temperature to get a nice steam on but unfortunately the showers and locker room overall is very small. Unlike other equinox locations that have big showers on one side and small showers on the other side, this location unfortunately only has small showers. The lockers are extremely small. Fortunately, I don’t notice this location having a problem with members leaving towels everywhere. Everyone does a better job putting away towels here. The cleaning/maintenance worker Olga works very hard and does an amazing job despite other members thinking that they can talk down to her as I witnessed in the locker room. Other members need to treat cleaning/maintenance staff with the upmost respect and disrespect should never be tolerated.

Brian and Celina very helpful at the front. Zack is an excellent teacher Kudus to Tony for keeping all the bathrooms, and showers clean. It’s remarkable that other gyms nickel and dime you for towels but when you come to this orange theory, the towels are complimentary and the space is clean and modern. Lastly, I love this location because it steps away from just salad a good a coffee shop and Trader Joe’s all great places to stop for a post recovery!

Orangetheory 92nd has genuinely been one of the overall best and warmest studios I’ve been to in the NYC area. I’ve jumped around to at least 4 studios in New York, countless in the DC area, London, and others and this studio is definitely one of the best communities I’ve found. The coaches are top tier, with a perfect mix of friendly warmth and targeted pointers to actually improve your form. I look forward to taking class with Cat! She’s a bundle of energy and never ceases to make me laugh! I have really loved classes with Zach and Nick as well. Thanks OTF 92nd!

Great environment. This is a no brainer compared to other fitness options for a lot of reasons. I get in, I get out in an hour. Great full hours of working out with my own treadmill and own weight set. You don't have to spend time spent waiting passive aggressively for someone who's scrolling Instagram to get off a machine. Great staff and all the coaches are really great. Friendly fitness environment for all levels.

What a great place to workout. Very warm and accepting environment. From the time you walk in Brian and his team welcome you with smiles. The coaches are like an All-Star team. Coach Nick, Zach, Jenna, and Conner are amazing and I always take something away from our sessions. And then there is the GOAT but I just call her Coach Cat. I highly recommend taking one of her classes she brings such high energy and positivity. OTF 92nd, you will leave sweaty and sore but with a smile on your face. Give it a try.

I joined as a founding member and I’m still going strong. Why? I can run for miles, lift the heaviest weights I thought I never could, and learned to enjoy rowing. I was the out of shape kid in gym class, so for me this is a huge thing! The coaches keep it fresh and interesting - Nick will work you to the bone, Cat will make you laugh, and Zach will make you want to be better and makes a killer playlist. There are also hidden bonuses of Orange Theory - individualized support through coaches corners, special fitness benchmarks, and a supportive community. Iove my Orange Theory at west 92.

Only one leg extension machine is entirely insufficient. every time I come here, 75 to 98% or the cardio equipment is left unused, while there's a long queue for the leg extension machine. this can be remedied quite easily but the franchise appears to be switching out the two older, better leg extension machines that once adorned each location with a single newer yet stiffer, lesser machine. it's like they want to inconvenience gym-goers on purpose.

The new members have reuined the gym, no good hygiene. The gym stinks. Please let them know to wear deodorant.

So I'm a few days late with this review because I had a good workout and a good rest 😂. Not only is this location clean and well stocked with everything you could need but the staff is so helpful. I'm more than sure that is Sam's doing since she is precise, informative, and overall absolutely amazing. Even helped me with a lock situations at the last minute. I was very hesitant at first but this has been one of the best locations I have been at for ANY gym and I am pleasantly surprised. I am very happy they had the trial day as well so I could get a feel for it. Definitely recommend this location

I wish I could give this -0 stars. On March this year I walked into this branch and spoke to a rep at the counter. I explained that I live in South Carolina and that I was only VISITING. She said that after 45 days I could go ahead and cancel which to me that was OK. After the 45 days I call to cancel and I am told I have to do it IN PERSON. I explain I was never informed of this and request a Manager CB and to this day I am still waiting for the call. Evry time that I call there NEVER IS a supervisor available, NEVER. Fast forward to Saturday August 24 2024, I TRAVELED to NY and walk in to cancel said subscription. The agent helps me and the screen says I have to pay $39 which I explain to her I am not paying any more money. I then get written on a sheet and told that I would get a cb. Today Aug 29 2024 I AM STILL WAITING for said cb. I called AGAIN and guess what? THERE IS NO SUPERVISOR available so again I have to wait. This company and location is a JOKE. I advise for you to search somewhere else because this company ain't it.

Came to this gym to get a nice workout in which was a horrible decision. You would think trainers have gym etiquette but not these two. The trainer (A FAT GUY ON TONS OF STERIODS, A MANBUN & A WEIRD LOOKING NOSE) took over a hour on a machine which they have two of but one was out of service. I asked the trainer how much longer he has and he said 15 more minutes after already being on it for 45 minutes. I came back in 15 mins. He then got upset and tossed his towel on the floor in frustration and wanted to fight. Then tells the other trainer (THE TRAINER WITH THE EAR GAUGES) who was near by that he is going to do 8 more sets just to make me wait longer. they both giggled while i walked away. This was the worst experience I’ve ever had at any Blink Fitness. I recommend everyone to stay away from this gym cause trainers at this gym will fight you if you ask how much longer they have on a machine. P.S. DONT DO STEROIDS KIDS. THE ROIDS MAKE YOU RAGE AND THIS MAN WAS RAGING.

I loved visiting this location for the first time this past Saturday! The space on both floors is very well thought out with machines and stretching areas. If I were closer I would come every day! This will be my Saturday morning location for sure! 10/10

Great value for money. Staff are very friendly. The gym is well equipped and it has everything you need to work out properly.

The staff at this location is kinder and more attentive than any other gym I have had a membership to in my entire life. I'm not being hyperbolic, just honest. Also, they are constantly kind to our unhoused brethren and navigate a tricky situation of not pushing them out regularly. If you want a gym that is clean, has an almost 100% working machine ratio and that is KIND, this is your gym. I value that tremendously and think that corporate gyms largely lose this focus. Also, the pricing is insanely fair and the ROI for me is WILDLY on my side. Also, the guy/girl ratio is in favor of the ladies and it is a pretty incredible visual...

I just went to this PF for the first time and I can’t believe I waited so long. It’s incredibly large and well equipped for a city planet fitness. Definitely the largest gym in uptown. Clean, chill, I’ll be back!

Planet Fitness is a clean environment, staff is always friendly & helpful. I live in whiteplains, NY and they're friendly & the gym is clean. I also visit PF in Midtown Manhattan on 35th Street. I Work in Midtown so I do also work out at that PF. The same experience, friendly & helpful staff. I would recommend. Luis Worrell

The worst showers and toilets of them all. Iv’e had Blink membership for more than three years and most of the time I come to this location because it’s convenient for my commute. The toilets are always dirty and with the toilet paper on the floor or the actual toilet. The showers are always dirty and they don’t supply soap (if the soap holder is not broken). I talked to a manager about it a few months back and nothing changed.

I've been going here for roughly 5-6 years. The gym is good, the equipment is between good to brand new as they recently had new equipment. The gym is typically 70-80% full at most times I have ever been. The members are very friendly, the workers are great, and it is very clean. Unlike other comments not once have I ever seen homeless people within the gym's premises. A lot of the reviews comment in regards to it's capacity and having to wait for equipment. This is NYC and this gym is not the size of a warehouse. There are a lot of machines and free weights. I typically never wait more than 5-10 min for a machine in the rare cases that I wait as I dynamically change my workout and order depending on what is being used. Only issues are sometimes when a machine is knocked out of use it can take a while to fix it. And obviously 5 less treadmills replaced with a few other machines wouldn't hurt

The facility and equipment is good and well maintained despite near constant use. The hours are good and the staff is nice. HOWEVER in over 15 years of lifting I have NEVER experienced a gym with such awful members. No one has any gym etiquette. They will monopolize 3-5 pairs of weights at a time. They’ll take up benches or machines for 30+ minutes to do 3-4 sets. It’s unbelievable how inconsiderate and entitled the people who go to this gym are. If you can afford ANY other gym in the city I’d highly recommend.

Clicks between members allow them to dominate machines even when you’re waiting for 15-20 minutes for your turn. This location is honestly the worst for this behavior and staff can’t really intervene appropriately. I’ve been going to blink for 3+ years, but this is by far the most difficult location to workout for this reason.

I’m not coming here anymore ! They are not organized, there are only few machines . They don’t control the access of homeless people to lockers or any area but yet they denigrate good people just because they don’t like them as they Did with a GOOD guy I used to train with 🙏🏼. There is a tall, thin, very haughty girl. They will soon run out of customers because of that and more and will have to close. 👍🏽at the end planet fitness much better 😆
