DARO'S EXTREME FITNESS

The last and only "Real" Gym left in the Bronx. Daro's Gym is an Old School, Hardcore Gym and You'll love it! "They" haven't updated the photos here on Google--most are from the "old location", which was much bigger, but Daro's gym is still a darn good gym. If you are in the Bronx and need a place to train, you will like Daro's Gym. It's worth your business! Daro's Gym has a lot of good equipment: lots of free weights, good quality benches, nice barbell selection, heavy Dumbbells (160 lbs, I think? maybe heavier...) and a real nice selection of machines. The Leg machines are real nice at Daro; and it can really help you work around an injury, or just trying to get some nice shape to your body. Daro has it all. People at Daro's Gym are real polite, quite and just do their thing--no nonsense and I like that. Come in, workout, and leave. I took a star off because when I go in at my time to train (afternoon), the cleaning man uses this really strong smelling chemical that messes up my breathing while I work out. Not his fault--he has to do his job--but it really burns my throat and nose. Parking is real bad here... it is what it is. It's near a lot of mechanic shops who take-up everything. No spots, no nothing. So... you gotta commute by train or just walk/bike it. 4/5 stars A real good gym in the Bronx. Peace!

Too expensive now and smaller. Old location size and prices were great . Sorry rather by buy my own stuff and train at home but David is a good guy and hope the best for the gym

Fun fact. The bathrooms are locked and you have to get a key from front desk. There’s no signs to do this so you might think they have no toilets . There is a urinal unlocked) and the sink is in a room with the toilet Which is locked. Seems very odd

The best fitness gym, this gem is not for people who are not ready to change themselves health wise and strength. It's a body builders playground with only hard-core trainers and equipment. I love this place, and the owner is a wonderful guy

PROS: -10 dollars for a walk-in/day pass -Very affordable membership deals -Traditional, hardcore, body building gym -Small but big enough -Lots of equipment -Friendly staff Cons: -The locker room situation is annoying. Up some very tiny steps and the lockers aren't good -The photos of the last gym should be taken off. Because I used to go to the old location and prior to going I spoke with someone about the wrestling ring, just to get there and have NO wrestling ring. So.... -If you're looking to use the wrestling ring or use the heavy bags, ITS NO LONGER HERE at the new location. Again, there's no wrestling ring or heavy bags at the new location. Overall not a bad gym if you're looking to get yoked for a very affordable price but don't expect anything fancy whatsoever. This is a VERY old school kind of gym. You're not going to see some of the amenities that the newer gyms nowadays have.
