Best Gyms with Saunas near New-york, New-york

After visiting this location multiple times, my main complaint is that it’s too crowded. The equipment is limited compared to the Rockefeller location. However, it has a great view of the trains and Jersey. Unfortunately, there’s no executive lounge

Friday night was as empty as a town still under covid lockdown. Most members are usually there for show and not for working out. Many are playing with their phone. One guy texted himself back and forth 🧐 It’s just surreal. At least a third are not who they say they are. Exaggerated finances and wealth vs reality of them living in a subsidized NYCHA Building or shared group dormitory style homes. The well dressed with allegedly purchased $$$ clothing but managed to pickpocket other members. Or the knockoff handbags purchased from Chinatown street vendors but claimed to be the genuine. But the top award definitely goes to the know it all who knows nothing. Always that gossip queen at a gym but have no evidence of whatever they say. At least 1 out of 10 are there to find a wealthy nepo or grandpa to finance their lifestyle. Why work when you can just get someone else to pay for it? Too many wannabe influencers and employees from different locations working out on their off time. So yes we know who the employees and struggling actors are even if they lie about their job titles. It’s a hotel style gym with minimal amenities and equipment. Always broken and not repaired for weeks. Theft is prevalent especially around the holidays. And it’s not those perceived as looking poor or being a minority who are thieves. Maybe leave your EBT card home if you’re dressed in a $$ Lululemon and pretending to be rich. Men’s locker room is tiny. No sauna in the men’s locker room. They recently switched to Grown Alchemist. Lots of complaints about it. Corporate workers engage in forbidden steam room and sauna activities. If they’re fit and hot, those grandpas would certainly noticed. But the idea of having to suffer through minutes of seeing prego bods and wrinkles are undoubtedly a permanent eyesore. The steamy air won’t make them look better. The top awards in the steamy air go to those who manscapes, urinates, and clean their ends while leaving brown colored liquids everywhere. Group classes are at the level of Orange Theory. Indoor pool is inconvenient for members. 3 out of 4 lanes are usually roped off for classes and personal training. Hot tub is a health hazard. Cold plunge is hardly ever cold enough. Pilates room is the size of a closet. Outdoor pool is no longer heated during the fall and winter seasons. Outdoor saunas are usually broken, slimy or reserved for the unstable taking meditation classes. Front desk employees are often rude and obnoxious. Trainers have poor interpersonal skills. All in all it’s not worth the $$$ membership fees.

Crowded during peak times. The outdoor saunas don't stay hot because they aren't wind proof. Weightlifting equipment is very basic. The indoor lap pool is great, but the hot tub is full all the time.

Another location where no email or any notification has been sent out saying the entire pool area is closed. This place is a small gym very little to offer and requires a massive amount of money for monthly membership. I really don’t see what the point is to paying for this, you would want to be able to use the Jacuzzi in the winter time. I think it’s time to join Vital

Nice clean gym, but doesn’t justify the cost. It’s nowhere near as good as the “Sports Clubs” Equinox location on UWS, which is actually substantially cheaper now. They stopped the heating outdoor pool, and keep saying its a thermostat issue, but hasn’t been fixed in months. Men’s locker room is microscopic and many members seem to do all their grooming in there, so you can’t even walk without bumping into people. They won’t put a 2nd leg lift machine in, despite current one being used 98% of the time, even off peak. Lastly, they promised me I could pause my membership, still get billed, but get a time credit after the contract was over for the duration of the pause. I did this for 4 months, and then they said they stopped doing that and wouldn’t honor it

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.

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.

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!

Sauna and steam room! Plus all the other things. Not sure why ppl don’t take classes here like at other locations (which are booked solid for all of January). True they don’t have a full sched but the classes they have are good.

Very nice cute gym but it threw me off that there were no squat racks. Clearly this gyms main clientele doesn’t mind that, but just a good thing to know before coming. Beautiful locker room, love the option of a hot sauna or a steam room. Will definitely be back.

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 🌟

I had chance to visit this gym recently. The place has lots of new equipments for every level of exercises. It is very clean and organized overall. The staffs in the front desk are very welcoming and friendly. I also like the sauna and steam room in the female room. There are also plenty clean towels in the changing room. The location is also very convenient. I had a great experience overall. Highly recommended to everyone who enjoy every level of exercises!

I used to work there as a Personal Trainer. It's a beautiful gym and the staff is great. There's a "service oriented" philosophy as it should be for the price. Moist towels scent with eucalyptus and PT doubled as floor monitors during down time until your client list was full. That means the members and staff actually got to know each other very. There's complementary toiletries in the locker rooms and showers for members.

I visited this club and took a tour with my friend who was gifted a membership by her boss. I got a massage and the Therapist was above and beyond awesome! I actually asked her if she does in-home private services outside of Equinox because she was just THAT good. She gets 5-stars but regarding the gym itself, I was not impressed. Long wait for machines, classes seemed crowded and after my workout, there were no towels for me to use. Based on their prices, I'm surprised that it seemed more like a low-end facility rather than the luxury that I imagined would be associated with Equinox .

I registered for this gym in May 2023, but I've been experiencing technical issues with the app since day one. I can't log into my account to book any classes. I spoke with my account adviser, Caroline, who said she would need to involve the technical team to help resolve the issue. However, after a week, I still can't book a class through the app. I then called my account adviser to cancel my membership. The app indicates that my membership is canceled, but I'm still being charged month to month for the next 17 months. I called them today, and they said they can’t do anything about it, even though it's not my fault that I couldn't log into my account thus I had to cancel. The manager- Tang, said he can't do anything to help!

Stopped in for a quick smoothie, it was anything but quick. I don't think they were happy to be there or cared that i was there. Anyhow, took quite a while and charged a premium price. Will not be stopping in again.

===update === After 2 months of equinox promised this issue will be investigated, there was 0 communication, 0 follow-ups from Equinox other than promotion emails ========== I have been a dedicated member of Equinox, consistently enjoying the high-quality fitness classes and the community's mission. Unfortunately, a recent incident at the Columbus Circle location has compelled me to cancel my membership. The issue began when I placed my scooter in an area(hall way) as suggested by an assistant manager(see picture), which seemed to be a misunderstanding on the part of the general management. Last Saturday, the General Manager, Mr. Tang, took it upon himself to lock my scooter away without prior notice. When I questioned this action, he challenged the legitimacy of my earlier interaction with the assistant manager in a manner that I perceived as rude and mistrusting. This incident not only caused me inconvenience but also signaled a concerning lack of trust and respect towards members. What compounded my disappointment was the lack of any form of apology on locking up my properties or remedial action from the General Manager, despite being made aware of the situation and its impact on me as a member. Further, the response—or lack thereof—from the Equinox Concierge service did nothing to address the situation, leaving my concerns unacknowledged. The only reaction I got from concierge is: “We're sorry to hear you are leaving Equinox and we thank you for your time with us. If you would like to reinstate your membership, you may do so within 60 days of your cancellation date. This review is a difficult one to write, given that the coaching staff and classes at Equinox are exceptional. However, management's trust in and treatment of its members is equally important. I’ve been to many equinox clubs, and this Columbus circle club is the reason why I choose to leave. If you have a chance to try a different club/fitness place, please try it and don’t let anyone treat you as they do.

EDIT: The current manager did reach out and assured me they're working on fixing the lockers as well as on educating the gym goers to proper gym etiquette as well as asking staff to re-rack as well. They were very polite and accommodating, so I changed the review from 2 to 3 stars just based on my interaction with them ORIGINAL REVIEW: Do you like having to remove other people's plates ON EVERY plate-loaded machine you use? Do you spending ten-fifteen minutes in the lockerroom trying to find locker with a lock that actually works or that isn't already used? Do you like working out in a dark basement club where the lighting reminds you of a rave in Brooklyn and no windows to the exterior? Then this club is the perfect club for you! Come on over! Just remember don't touch those weights after you load up your machine! It's a problem for the next person!

As a fitness professional and as a professional bodybuilder I must say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GYM! Starting with the staff. I travel to NYC often and need to train at a gym that has it all. Every single time I would walk into TMPL it is always a pleasant experience. Smile, check in, purchase a pre workout and grab a sweat tile. Easy breezy. The lockers are my fave because you don’t need to bring a locker. It’s also fully equipped with towels, lotion, deodorant, steam room and plenty of showers. The workout floors are set up perfectly and while there is PLENTY of equipment (even at busy times) most people are super cool to have you jump in on a set. With that said, so many guys are super easy to chat with or ask for a spot. JOINING this gym is a no brainer whether you live in NYC or if you visit often. Also, they have the vegan protein shakes for post workout. Haha. It’s the little things! Thanks guys for making it such a great place to train, Shaun T

Solid gym. Has everything one needs for powerlifting training. Bars could use some nurling, the plates are adequate, and the benches are incredibly slick but it's all there. The branding is... Targeted.

Love TMPL Hell’s Kitchen and their staff, but especially my gym trainer Lucas! Lucas has trained me 3 times a week for the last 2 years, and I now I love working out so much more than I ever did! Highly recommend!

This is a great gym for serious lifters who want to be around other bodybuilding guys. The weekly rate was $150 which was pretty reasonable given all what you get (multi-location access). Definitely worth doing as a visitor (and perhaps as a full resident if I were one).

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.

Equinox Sports Club is absolutely top-notch! The facility is spacious, immaculately clean, and packed with state-of-the-art features, including an incredible rock climbing wall that’s a must-try. A special shout-out to Alexander, who works on the climbing wall. He’s quick, attentive, and incredibly kind, making the climbing experience smooth and enjoyable for everyone. Also, a big thank you to David for his expert stretching sessions—they’ve been a game-changer for my recovery. This is hands down my new favorite fitness destination. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a premium experience!

Staff is inconsiderate and lacks basic customer service skills. I've had better experiences at Planet Fitness. I would not recommend using Equinox. There's simply no way the membership fees are worth the exorbitant price.

I love Equinox, but for one overriding, and scary, factor. The lifeguards and management that enable them don't care about your safety. The lifeguards are preoccupied with their own entertainment; they sit on a chair amusing themselves on their phones, heads down fixed on their screens, rather than looking at the swimmers they are paid to watch. Some of them sit and do their homework. Others sit and read a book. One weekend lifeguard was transfixed on his screen, streaming what appeared to be a movie. At least two wear AirPods, or other ear pieces which all but ensure that they don't hear swimmers. This means that the employees whose job it is to guard swimmers don't see them because they are not looking at them, and they don't hear them because their hearing is compromised. Management has been alerted to this repeated times, but the problems persist. Even new lifeguards seem untrained for the task. One new lifeguard sat gabbing away on his phone while swimmers swam in the wrong direction in their lane. It's as if the guards start their shift and say to themselves "great, now I have time to sit here, go through my emails, write texts and otherwise have fun." They are getting paid to guard against potentially fatal accidents, yet they fail to do their job and leave swimmers at risk.

Very vertical but equipment-packed. Everything here including open squat racks almost any time. 130lb dumbbells. Tons of cardio. Haven't seen the place packed, but haven't been here in the after-work hours. Great workouts every time.

I've been a member on-and-off since 2004 (when it was the Reebok Club) and a member of various gyms (including other equinox clubs) since I was a teenager. I have NEVER seen filth or mismanagement on the level I've seen since rejoining the Sports Club in 2023. The locker rooms are filthy and unstaffed. Previously there was always one person upstairs and another 2 downstairs during busy hours. Now maybe there is one person for 3 floors. There are always dirty towels everywhere. On one occasion, a dirty pair of underwear was on the floor for at least an hour, another a large, dead cockroach lying by the jacuzzi. The hairdryers are so weak they couldn't blow out a candle. Several hairdryers have been "out-of-service" for months as has at least one shower. Then, there was the day TWO MONTHS ago when I opened a shower door to discover dirty takeout containers, utensils and towels in the stall. The same day dirty, wet towels were also all around the locker, steam room and sauna. I complained to the front desk and in writing to management. Still waiting to hear back. I've emailed the GM multiple times with NO response other than a AGM thanking me for "policing the locker room since he can't". Wait, they have no female employees able to enter the locker room to see it's filthy and lacking towels??? Are they unaware that they have nobody staffing the locker rooms. There are also frequently people in the spa area who are clearly not members (you can tell because they have all their belongings including their purses and phones nearby and sleep on the lounge chairs). This in addition to people talking on speakerphone in the locker room. Of course there are no attendants to tell them that phones are a no-no in the locker room and spa. The club's hours were so truncated Thanksgiving weekend that it was impossible to get to the gym for a workout. This was unlike every other gym in the city that had holiday hours on Thanksgiving and normal ones the rest of the weekend. When I arrived, the locker room was filthy, there were no towels, dirty/wet towels were everywhere including the steam room, sauna, benches in locker room. The lifeguard (is he even a certified lifeguard?) was unaware that since the club closed at 4, the pool would be closed a half hour earlier and offered me a lane reservation at 3:30 (when the pool would be closed). I gave up and went home since without towels, I couldn't even take a shower. If this were a one-time issue, I'd be upset, but it's ongoing. I rejoined because I had fond memories of the well-kept facility, loved the classes and instructors and was able to swim. That is a distant memory. Now there are significantly fewer classes, they aren't consistent (no more same class, same instructor 2 or 3x/week at the same time) and none in the afternoon (in ye olde days there was at least a mid-afternoon yoga class). The classes aren't very good and don't create the community that I enjoyed previously as a member. The few that are worth taking fill up within 2 minutes of opening in the app. When I told an instructor that I was just getting back in shape after an illness and asked if I needed a mat, she nastily replied "only if you need it for emotional support." Another class had truly awful sped-up muzak. When I asked about it, the instructor said she doesn't listen to it, only picks out playlists that have the right beat. A terrible experience. Wildly expensive ($350/month). Total ripoff.

A little outdated but decent lifting equipment. Swimming pool, basketball court, sauna e group classes make it worth the price. Bring your own yoga mat and towel!

Really love this Y. We’ve been coming here for 3 years now. Our child has been in the swim program and progressed from fearful to swimming on her own. Instructor are very efficient. They have the children progressing through all the skills and constantly moving. The swimming instructors are also very patient and kind. The Open Houses are good fun and all the staff are really wonderful.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT JOIN THIS YMCA location. Ghetto! Ghetto! Ghetto! Steam room is always out of service. The pool lift is never working. Locker room #nasty homeless people hanging out in front.. The customer service is horrible. I wish I’ve chosen a different location. Corporate should make this location a homeless shelter. Ugh 😣 thank me later

I am only posting on the fitness area. I love the facility and the vibe. Weightroom is a bit cramped but people make it work. It’s in an awesome, historic part of Harlem.

Great stay with friendly staff. The rooms are small, but the bunk beds were neat and the room was clean. There are shared bathrooms, but those are clean as well. The key cards, however, worked whenever they wanted to, so that may be something that can be addressed. Otherwise great stay!

The lifetime of sky is really nice especially in the pool where you can view the skyline from the pool. And every person was very friendly nice and nice staff. My only problem was I wish the spa area whirlpool and sauna Steemroom and cold plunge were in locker rooms.

Disclaimer: NO (free or metered) PARKING ANYWHERE. One of the behemoth gyms that make LifeTime not only worth it but a good deal. Outdoor sky pool, very nice cafe layout, basketball, etc. biggest problem is- who is it for? Locals. Super local. Like west of 9th Avenue. With no nearby subway and zero parking (tried for 40 minutes) you’re forced to garage your car for obviously a small nyc fortune just to use the gym making it not accessible. Parking right in front is plentiful but despite no signs, everyone said you’d be towed. Long story short- anyone who isn’t ok with walking a long distance to get here, avoid. This is the Tantalus of LifeTimes.

This place makes you feel like you can touch the Sky! The fitness floor is state of the art, classes are INCREDIBLE, the spa is lovely, the workspace is top notch, and don’t even get me started on the skydeck. The facilities are amazing, but the employees are really what make this place special. The team is tight knit and here to make your experience a fantastic one. I may be biased because I am a yoga teacher here, but I can honestly say that I love the people who I work with along with the members and completely support the company.

+One of the better quality gyms around the Hudson Yards area. +Good indoor pool and great indoor basketball court. Outdoor pool area is also very nice. +Nice wet room setup with sauna and cold plunge. +Decent amount of squad racks +Generally very clean and well looked after throughout +Kind staff -Weight area is one of the smallest I have seen for a gym of this size which is a major drawback. It gets very busy at rush hours and they only have two bench presses, two cross-cable machines and only two places to do neutral grip or wide-angled pull-ups which are almost never empty. -Weight plates are few and far in between. Same as dumbbells. The setup of the whole weights floor feels like it was an afterthought, not very functional. -Sauna temperature barely hits 180 which is not great if you are after the health benefits that are often researched on saunas at 180+. Also worth noting sauna seating is a single level near the floor and it has a high ceiling which means temperature at where you sit is likely lower than shown. -Access to outdoor pool requires an extra seasonal fee which is not cheap. -Locker room/bathroom area is very small for the amount of members who use this branch, has low ceiling which makes the place feel even smaller. Overall, if you live/work in the area, it is an ok option if most of what you do is classes/cardio. If you focus on strength training and lifting weights, it unfortunately leaves a lot to be desired.

Turkish Hammam and cold plunge are incredible!!! Rachel, taught a sweaty, intense Flow yoga class that was challenging and fun! cooling off in the cold plunge after a heated yoga class was a perfect combination! the rooftop pool was not available to use, even with my diamond membership. something about an agreement with the condos neighborhood association, and it's an additional pool pass. they wanted me to pay $100 for a day pass! but it wasn't on top of a skyscraper like the photos imply. it's on the eleventh floor of the building and the residences go up higher in a separate tower. pool didn't seem that exciting to be honest. just a shallow leisure pool. (our outdoor pool at home is better with waterslides and fountains and lap lanes.) so.... check out the Turkish Hammam....

After 22 years as a loyal Equinox member, I have cancelled my membership. Other than hearing that the recent price increase now had my membership over $300 per month, the General Manager gave me less than 2 minutes of her time and never asked me to sit down and discuss my extensive Equinox history. Her lack of interest as to additional reasons a longtime member like myself was cancelling my membership confirmed that my decision to leave was the right one.

It closes at 8PM on Fridays… i try to wrap up workout around 7:30. While shower and changing clothes, at 8PM they turn off the locker room lights. What the hell. I am naked and wiping water. I try to understand that they want customers disappear at 8PM sharp. But cut off the light in the locker room? Can they find another better educated way to ask?? On top of that, the cleaning guy in the locker room keep chasing after me to go out since 7:50PM… what is it? I do not want to mention about it but I freaking paying more than $300 per month for this service… Other than that Facilities newly renovated. Price overpriced compared to the service I receive. Clean environment. Very tiny shower booth. Staff some okay some not

While we were working out my friend’s experience at Equinox on 63rd and Lexington was nothing short of appalling. During a workout, a maintenance worker unplugged the machine she was using without warning, which caused her to fall off and injure herself. Cleaning practices also appear haphazard, raising safety concerns. Customer service here is dismissive at best; rather than addressing issues, staff often act irritated when asked for help. This location's reputation for a “premium experience” feels far from the reality. Horrible, just horrible.

Irresponsible management. Arbitrarily closes the gym 3 hours early on Dec 8 at 5pm for a staff holiday party with no notice in email or app. App still displays today’s hours as 7am-8pm. $6 wasted taking the subway.

I slipped and fell on a wet floor leading into the men's locker room. A worker had been cleaning the floor, which was slippery from water and soap. He was around the corner and not visible from where I slipped. When he saw that I fell, he merely pointed to the "Wet Floor" sign (which also was not visible from where I was walking), turned away and continued cleaning. He showed no concern and did not ask whether I was ok. (Other members have posted complaints about how nasty the locker room attendants in this club are). I communicated what happened to an assistant manager, who assured me I would hear from the manager the next day. I also communicated to her that the walls in the pool area are often crawling with bugs, which other members have also noticed. I used to give the club 5-star reviews but now I question what value Equinox provides for the $300 a month membership fee they charge.
