Best Gyms with Free Weights near Downtown-brooklyn, New-york

The experience was okay, except for the 30 minute PF Express area is not set up properly. For those who want to get in a good workout in 30 minutes and hit all body parts, it is not conducive. Other planet fitnesses that have this area set up are more efficient for a busy schedule. There is no waiting for equipment while people text on their cell phones, and wander around aimlessly using machines without rhyme or reason. The club is clean, and the staff was friendly.

Clean gym overall, but most the gym goers here don’t wipe the equipment down. I think I saw 2 people out of 40 bother to do it. Lots of people just sitting on the equipment, texting or taking selfies. Several talking on their phones loudly. I’ve been to other PF locations where the employees will regulate all that, but not here. Bathrooms were clean. Three stories of equipment all together. Couple machines broken. Employees not super friendly.

I like separation of floors for how I go through target areas in my workouts. Staff were helpful since that was my first visit there. The Black Card lounge is also nice. Just wish the showers were a little nicer in appearance. Also the water temperature took a while to adjust. Ideally I wish there was a scan access only shower in the black card lounge at all locations.

I get it. PF is the butt of the joke in the fitness community. The fact remains that if you know what you're doing and how to make use of space and the equipment you have available, you can do anything and still crush your respective workout. This location is no exception and has everything you need to do what you need to do. What I like the most is it has never been at a capacity where I can't use something. Duffield location is my go-to and if you're reading this, go to the other locations and keep this one at low capacity. 🙃

The lack of air circulation and the heat on this location is extremely terrible. I've had multiple nose bleeds at this point due to the heat and no air or AC working at a time. The stairmaster are always broken, where one is only available at a time, and sometimes the cleaning supplies aren't refilled enough. There needs to be a serious concern for the air circulation in the basement where all the weights and strength training are located and to ensure machines are available and in working condition.

I've had memberships at a number of "luxury" gyms in both California and New York. CPF takes the cake. Not only does it have all the amenities, classes, and services you could want, but the staff and management go above and beyond to make every member feel like they're part of the Chelsea Piers community. An unpretentious yet elite fitness facility.

Honestly, soooo many things wrong with this gym. Facilities are pretty nice but they fall short on service. Reallyyyyy shitty staff. Classes aren't that great. Just not worth $230. You need to be in that gym every day to make that price make sense. But it definitely gets crowded, people never clean the equipment after themselves, it's SO hard to book a massage, really hard to get out of such an expensive membership, they increase the price by like $20/year...

Good facilities. However, giving it 1 star for its AWFUL front desk staff. They’re extremely rude, unfriendly, hostile, and are always bothered when I ask questions about the gym’s facilities + always replying with attitude. For the steep price of $240 members pay monthly, you’d expect CPF to hire competent staff with friendly demeanors that will make members feel welcome. A total shame and a waste.

I've been a member at Chelsea Piers Fitness for a while now, and I can't recommend it enough! The facility is truly amazing—spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything you could possibly need for a great workout. Whether you're into cardio or strength training, you'll find tons of equipment to choose from. The turf spaces are perfect for interval workouts and mobility exercises, offering plenty of room to move and stretch. The variety of classes available is impressive, catering to all fitness levels and interests. And after a tough workout, the sauna, steam room, and pool provide the perfect way to unwind and relax. One thing that really stands out is how clean and well-maintained the entire facility is, from the locker rooms to the common areas. The member events are a nice bonus too, creating a sense of community and making the gym experience even more enjoyable. But what really makes Chelsea Piers Fitness special is the staff—they're always friendly, welcoming, and ready to help with anything you need. It truly feels like a place where everyone is focused on helping you achieve your fitness goals in a positive and supportive environment.

I have been a member here for a bit and could not recommend it to friends enough. The staff, classes, facilities, and people are what makes this gym so special. It is worth every penny spent on the membership.
