short: great gym option at affordable price money-saving tip: wait for the semi-annual Groupon special where the membership is half the regular price if pay for one year long: It's okay. It's in a basement, which I'm not a fan of. It is clean and doesn't stink like Planet Fitness. The usual: crowded after work hours and people using the machines as furniture while texting for long periods of time, and people that seem to love to make sure their sweat is absorbed by the next person. I don't enjoy working out when I go to this location, so I just do a little something and leave before it gets crowded. I recommend this location as an alternative to Planet Fitness. If your budget can do it, Crunch is double the price but has classes and a very great atmosphere to work out in.

Out of the 4 gyms I've been in the Manhattan Area (54th Street, Bryant Park, Grand Central and now Chelsea) I would say at this point, this location is the largest Blink Gym in the city. It was almost the most crowded too, I was afraid I was gonna come across a similar situation to the gym in Corona, Queens with withdrawn, rude patrons hogging gym equipment. Fortunately it didn't come to that, I barely had to wait to use any machines that I wanted to make use of so I got a pretty good workout today. The gym interior is comfortable, the location of the area is nice and the commute there isn't complex, just taking the E train gets me there in 45 minutes. I will come around here again whenever I have another itch to come back to Manhattan.

Please give Nicholas a promotion. This Blink employee goes so above and beyond. He really helped me when my heart started to hurt post workout. And that’s not the only jam he helped me out with. Plus he’s so friendly. Truly makes each visit he’s here a joy.

Blink gyms are dotted around the city and I have been to a few and was going to the Avenue A one for over six months. This location in Chelsea is my favorite. It’s large, has lots of excellent machines, a large area for stretching, many cardio machines and a nice ladies locker room. I have been coming here for over five years. The staff are friendly and professional. Since I have been here the managers have had a high turnover - Lizzandro, Dulcie, Bella, Vince, Joel and now Bo. Except for Bella, I liked all of them. Bo is nice too. Team Blink of Adonis, Chris and Ciara who are there in the mornings are the people I see when I come in. They always have smiles on their faces. Recently Blink filed for bankruptcy and I was alarmed that they may close but was relieved that this was not the case. While the playlist is iffy at times I wish they would play more of rock and disco. Much peppier than rap. One person I miss a lot is Sara who was the cleaner. She was excellent. Often the bathrooms are not clean and run out of necessities.

The staff is nice : ) but they’re not very transparent about the $60 annual maintenance fee that comes even with the monthly plans, AND if you want to cancel they’ll still make you pay for another 2 months with a confusing scheme about pro-rated cancellation depending on when in the month you want to cancel. The equipment is somewhat old and not amazingly well-maintained, especially the ellipticals which are pretty run-down. The machines are pretty densely packed as well, and I don’t see any air purifiers or ventilation for Covid safety, and perhaps as a result most of the place reeks of body odor. I’m sure being in a basement and not having any doors or windows directly outside doesn’t help (also lends itself a sorta creepy dungeon vibe)

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.

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.

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!

While in NYC for business, I got a day pass at Crunch Fitness on the days I worked out, and it was such a great experience! The staff were super friendly and really focused on making sure everyone felt welcome. One thing I loved, especially compared to gyms in Germany, was the free towels—such a nice touch! The location was super convenient, and the gym had everything I needed for a solid workout. Definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone visiting the city!

This gym is so dated 😩 so old looking. When are you even going to remodel and update your look and new equipment. It has to be one of the uglier gyms I've ever seen. Looks like a cheap gym from the 1980s or something. Just saying 😌 🤷BTW I'm being kind giving it 3 stars 🌟

When I arrived, I was already three minutes late. I just wanted to quickly change my clothes, but the receptionist asked me many questions besides my name. I understand these are questions the instructor would normally ask before class, but it clearly wasted another two minutes of my time. By the time I got changed and entered the room, the receptionist told me I was already five minutes late and could not join the session. I checked the time, and I was about eight minutes late. What I can't understand is why the receptionist didn't tell me right when I came in that I had to change within two minutes or simply say I was too late to attend, instead of asking me a bunch of questions like how many classes I've taken, any injuries I have, etc. to waste my time, and then telling me after I get changed that I can't attend the class.

No information on grace period - in the email they sent they did not mention anything about this. I arrived 6 MINUTES LATE and the receptionist kept me and wont let me in and she kept talking for 5 minutes straight you can just let me in while the class just started after the 5 mins period. I tried to call earlier saying that my train is delay NO REFUND because I booked through ClassPass??? And NO RESECHEDULE. Straight out very rude and I LITERALLY WALKED OUT OF THE DOOR AFTER RUNNING there and left my friend in the class. You just lose a customer. NEVER COME BACK

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.

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.

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’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.

This location was where I took my first in-person Fhitting Room class (I'd done digital for a while), and it was honestly the best workout I'd had in ages! The FHITpros (instructors) were really knowledgeable, taught me how to use kettlebells properly, and most importantly, they were fun! I've been going for 4 years now, and almost gone to 600 classes since then. Highly recommend!

Fhitting room is the absolute best group fitness class in the city. All of the trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, super kind, and really give solid individual feedback while leading a fun upbeat class. I couldn’t recommend it more!

I was in Manhattan for a week and needed a place to workout (my home gym is F45). I LOVED Fhitting Room. It’s clean, clear, high energy and a tough workout that goes by fast. People were friendly and the trainer was fantastic. Definitely coming back.

I've been taking weekend classes at Fhitting room over the last 2 years and have come to enjoy them. The coaches have a very positive energy and spend the time to demonstrate how to do all of the exercises. They are active during class and walk around to give corrections, whether you're a regular or a newbie. The class is hard, but there are always multiple levels of every exercise so you can do the one that works for you. In some of my first classes, I was nervous about doing the exercises in smaller groups but I've come to realize that no one is watching or judging you. Everyone's working their hardest. It's a great workout! And the front desk and cleaning staff are friendly, too.

Group class that is closest to a pt session! All instructors give great direction and modifications if needed. Love the corrections while walking around the class. Music good. Friendly staff and members. Great locker room/showers! 100/10!

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.
