Best Gyms with Child Care/child Watch near New-york, New-york

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.

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)
