I am thrilled I found this amazing gym. I mostly swim and do yoga, but since I'm a woman over 50,…read moremy doctor has told me I need to lift weights and do other types of strength training. But I have a hard time doing it on my own - it just seems so boring compared to other sorts of exercise. But Uptown Movement changed this for me. I signed up for the unlimited classes, and I went 2-3 times a week. I've been at it for about two years now, and the difference in my overall fitness and well-being is huge. There is a friendliness to this place, an openness to great diversity in terms of age, race, sexuality, body size and type, language, etc. that is immensely appealing. I like the coaches and my classmates (mostly women) enough to make me want to go. The emphasis is never on how one looks or losing weight - it's always on increasing mobility and strength, especially as one ages. Before I started taking these classes, I had back problems (especially when picking up my 70-pound dog to bathe her), and I often sprained an ankle (weakened by a bad injury in my youth) and sometimes fell (my dog pulls me a lot). For the last 2 years, I haven't sprained my ankle, haven't been injured falling (and have hardly ever fallen at all), and more. And I can now deadlift my weight. In sum, I think this gym is great, and I encourage you to do your body (and mind) a great favor and join.

The classes and instructors here are amazing.

The community is also great - a diverse group of locals who love the neighborhood and are supportive of your goals.

I moved to Inwood for a short stay and was looking for a gym. I came across Planet Fitness on…read moreDyckman Ave. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Ive had a few injuries and wanted to work with a trainer who could make sure I don't re- injured myself. Richard is the personal trainer there, I loved working out with him. He's knowledgeable, kind and made my experience really nice. It's hard moving to a new place where you don't know anyone so it's really nice to meet great people like Richard. I highly recommend this gym and working out with the trainer.

When I did so he was barely any help as well and had implied that even if I had called the police, nothing can be done. I had mentioned that this robbery feels like it was an inside job to the owner.

I'm hearing that Other Locations are better but the one in Washington Heights truly needs improvement!

The FWC remains the standout offering for weightlifting in the neighborhood, and its only downside…read moreis that it's restricted to the school and hospital community. Probably an upside, actually, given that it can be cramped and crowded at peak hours. For practically nothing every year (I paid less than $100 for this year for the renewal membership - especially insane in this economy), you get access to 3 platforms, 3-4 squat racks, 2 bench setups, 3 benches for dumbbells, a heavy af leg press, a shock-absorbing treadmill, two bikes, and one big cable machine. That value in itself is insanity. Throw in the basically 24/7 card access and first-come, first-serve AUX and it's no wonder the gym is much more crowded these days. I've also seen a tripod for general use on more than one occasion so at this point I'm assuming it's the gym tripod you can use to record your sets on your phone. I guess the only downside is that this gym is cramped, grimy, and sometimes a bit smelly when people pull up without deodorant. But hey, every gym has their charming points. Still have no idea why it's got a Yelp profile, but I'll always talk up the FWC.

The instructors are all well trained, friendly and challenge you to push yourself. All the classes I've taken have been really fun and I always leave feeling stronger and empowered. I also love the studio space. The lockers are near the training room and the room is dark with only blue lights around so everyone won't see the weird faces you make while working out, HA! And can't forget about the juice bar! All their juices are made to order using fresh ingredients to aid in whatever you need (energize, detox, or recovery). Definitely recommend taking a class, or two, or three and don't forget to bring a friend!
