The Sports Center at Chelsea Piers
Reviews
I belonged to Chelsea Piers for one summer during triathlon training. The facility itself is amazing and the classes were excellent, especially the spin classes which overlook the Hudson River. It always feels slightly empty (which is nice) because of how big it is. The pool is beautiful and the pool deck that is outside is the perfect place to relax after a good swim or workout. The showers and locker rooms are impeccably clean and well-stocked with anything you could need. The biggest downfall of this place is that it is so expensive and inconveniently located. Even the closest train is still three avenues away from it. If you have a car or live way on the west side and can afford this gym, it may be for you.
This is a business that does right by me. The customer service is 5 star! The facility is amazing, the classes are tough, but the instructors really pay attention to your form. I just realized that I cannot jump rope for my chisel class, but she kept encouraging me to take it slow and I'll get the hang of it (I felt super slow, yet she was encouraging). This place is not too shabby: from the front desk, to the fresh juices in the food lounge area, the spa, the locker room and the sun deck. There are great basketball courts, a climbing wall, an indoor track, indoor pool and I could go on and on. Go here and focus on your physical well being. You'll not be disappointed.
The facilities here are high quality, no doubt about it. This place pretty much has everything sports-related that you can think of that's NY-appropriate. The location is a bit out of the way, and the bathroom amenities could be of higher quality, but overall a good place to work out.
By far the best gym in Manhattan. Spacious, luxurious and has everything you want in a gym and more. Swimming pool, sundeck, spacious weight training, indoor track, basketball, boxing, rock climbing, spa, volleyball and an endless list of classes available free to all members; it even has food and sushi available. Staff is well trained and helpful. Locker room is spacious and clean; it also has two saunas and showers. Highly recommend you join this gym as well. The gym members are diverse, friendly and helpful as well.
This is a wonderful gym; I have been an active member for over 15 years and highly recommend it to anyone who likes to work out while enjoying breathtaking views of the Hudson or the West side!
