They have a new feature called sauna mode everywhere. The AC on second floor was broken for one week now. Enjoy your workout in over 90 weather in NYC!
Dropped by before 5 PM and got a stationary bike -- the only one, it seemed -- and was gone before the after-work crowd arrived. The locker room for men seemed really, really small.
Great place to workout if you like waiting 20 minutes for a treadmill and don't need any towels. I mean, who doesn't enjoy doing that? Counting down the days till my membership expires.
Brian WangMarch 12, 2013Surprisingly, some people here actually lift. I'm guessing NYU students are a little more likely than usual to know what they're doing.
CompassJuly 23, 2013Try offbeat classes like hip-hop funk or ultimate step. Send the kids to childrens’ sports classes and jump into various kinds of yoga and spinning sessions.
Have some courtesy & sense & don't walk in front of someone on the stretch mat or while they're lifting weights. It might save u & them an injury.
Always crowded after work. You're better off getting in a morning workout. No towel service with the $39/mo. membership. Filled with NYU kids and young twenty-somethings.
Zero air conditioning so hot as hell in summer, about half of equipment is broken in some way, has a funky smell, and STILL manages to always be overcrowded. Recommend passing if you can.
SK Energy ShotsApril 7, 2012SK Energy Tip: Recovery is just as important as training. You need to give your muscles adequate time to rebuild after breaking them down during exercise.
They have a cool new feature in the locker room. It's called Dirty Towel Mountain!
JJanuary 18, 2020I joined during a “no hidden fees” promotion ...and ended up being charged for hundreds of dollars in fees during the 2 months I was a member. NYSC is criminal. This place is literally the WORST!- Leave garbage in a treadmill cup holder and see how long it takes the staff to clean it. Hint: the Purell wipe I left a week ago (!) is still here!
Monday evening spin instructor is a bit too motivational speaker-ish for me but she works you HARD so it's worth it!
It is a very small cramped facility. Seems like the AC has not worked every time I workout here. Locker room is hot and smells.
The Wednesday night step class at 6:45pm is incredible high card with hard technique, this is the ultimate step class- Fun game: leave garbage in a treadmill cup holder & see how long it takes the staff to clean it.
- Is it me or do members at this gym simply never wash their workout clothes? I've almost died a few times from the stench.
One of 2 Nysc on the grid with 11 music video channels + Latin genre music channel. (the other is 48&2nd
Literally the crabbiest staff of any club I've been to. Are you running a business or doing us a favor by showing up to work?
- Honestly a rip off. Save your money and go to Crunch. Poor customer service, dirty facilities and it smells.
- A living nightmare between 6 and 8 on weeknights. No lunch crowd b/c of student membership base.
- LOL! Now 7/24 (29%) of treadmills are out of order. They don't even have enough signs so they're doubling up. And I pay for this gym!?
Don't burn yourself on the water fountain in the weight room.
This location doesn't like to play music in the morning. Try the one on 14th.
Don't come during rush hour. Or expect to spend the rest of the evening waiting.- Treadmills here are consistently out of order. Right now there are 6 (25%) not working.
- This gym cares more about pushing private training than about long-term members & giving them space.
- Now the trainers are interrupting ppl on treadmills to sell expensive personal training packages. Ugh!
It's bad enough there are never any towels in the locker room, but no towels in the ENTIRE GYM on Sunday afternoon, 2/3. This location is awful.
Saturday mornings. Avoid. Also, there should be some strict rule against people socializing in a gym.- Stop coming here EVERY DAMN DAY in January to make my regular workout routine hell. You're going to stop coming by February and you'll be just as fat again by March.
MuscleTechJune 17, 2011Walking lunges with a barbelll recruit more stablizer muscles than with dumbbells.
Nice try 'locking' my rate in but then charging me an extra $ 30 in january to guarantee I do not get a rate increase. Slimy, cheap, and not worth it - equinox here I come!- Worst maintained NYSC I've ever been to. This is someone's spit on a treadmill.
- 1 week since my last tip & still 7 treadmills out of order. Really? Avoid this gym like the plague. 14th & 5th is a much better NYSC.
