Classic Harbor Line  Manhattan II

Plenty of activities for family and large groups. Huge complex. Parking. Concession stands for variety of food, snacks and drinks.

Chelsea Piers is a series of piers in Chelsea, on the West Side of Manhattan. The piers were originally a passenger ship terminal in the early 1900s. There's been a lot of changes over the years. I always enjoy my visits to check out the latest enhancements to the area. There's always new businesses and environmental improvements including the public art installations that I enjoy. Located at Chelsea Piers is Chelsea Piers Sports & Entertainment Complex. It's 28-acres located between 17th and 23rd Streets along the Hudson River. The complex features a Golf Club, a driving range, sports and training facilities, full-sized ice rinks, a bowling alley, and a venue that hosts weddings. This place is huge! This whole area goes by the name Chelsea Piers. I've spent many a day having adventures all around this neighborhood. I'm posting some of my photos so you can get a feel for the area. I always enjoy being close to the piers and the Hudson River. If you visit NYC do your research in advance before you go so you have a plan. There's far to many activities. Or you may want to just go for a long walk off a short pier! I'm a fan.

I think if I lived across the street or within a few blocks from this revered, massive sports complex, I'd be spoiled and be here day in and day out- just because Chelsea Piers has a fitness area and space for almost any sport. I've never been, but hubs had brought my 12 year old daughter at the time to practice her basketball drills and took advantage of whatever perks were available 14 years ago. But since hubs and I were walking and running on the esplanade by the Hudson River recently, we took a slight detour, strolled Chelsea Piers' grounds and peaked in from the outside. I'm not sure what day passes are like- just go online. Double-check how far on track these folks are with COVID guidelines, what's reopened or not- before heading here. Otherwise, get your thrill on.

I have been going to Chelsea Piers for years when it comes down to the: 1) Gymnastics Room 2) Bowling Alley 3) Ice Skating Rink 4) Driving Range 5) Rock Climbing Wall Today I spent my time at the Driving Range (golf) with my dad and a close family friend. We go through the regular process of reserving stalls and they are very good about putting each reservation together so that you can play golf together. They also carefully regulate social distancing, temperature taking, and mask-wearing. Playing golf at Chelsea Piers is always fun as are your other sporting and exercise experiences. For most of my time growing up with Chelsea Piers, I was either taking figure skating/golf lessons, hosting birthday parties, or going recreationally. Every time I come to Chelsea Piers to work on my golf game, I improve a lot and the staff is very helpful when it comes to equipment maintenance. Everything seems to be open at Chelsea Piers so as long as you're healthy and staying safe, I recommend that you give this place a visit. They also have batting cages and soccer fields for those who are interested alongside kayaks to rent and other things.

This place is awesome for its facilities: huge restrooms, sauna, hot tub, boxing ring, workout area, swimming pool, track trail, indoor volleyball, outdoor sun deck, climbing section, lounge, and many more... I came here for the climbing area and the wall is tall and the overhang section is long and horizontal. Mixed feelings on this area. The area is awesome because the wall feature is similar to outdoors. This is a good training for both physical and mental for outdoors climbing. However, I heard that they don't change the climbing problem often like other gyms, this could lead to boredom because you work on the same climbing problems for months, can be quite tedious... I tried the swimming area and it was great. I have not swam for long time and I took advantage of it. Glad that I did Membership can be quite expensive. I inquired the pricing. It was around $215/month. It would be great if I lived nearby and could take advantage of the convenience. But not possible. Also, it is hard to find parking around the area. That's why it is not convenient and feasible for me to join their membership Overall, it is a great place to hang out, have fun, and share memorable events with friends and family

The building at Chelsea Piers is basically a giant parkade! Looks like there is a big empty space or outdoor space at the back. When I went there was nothing happening. It is definitely a nice area to go for a stroll and watch the boats. Looks like there is a golfing ranging here. Kind of strange to see that but Ok. There are two other buildings connected to the parkade and it looks like some sport facilities. Cool!

In the real world: surely far beyond my realm of possibility, but what a nice place to "drive by" and dream of.

First of all, the $10 minimum at concession for cards is dumb. I think I'll be better suited to come here during the week. The weekends are a bit much. The crowd is thick for a person who's never been on skates. The ticket counter people are very nice but the skate handlers are dry and somewhat rude. I'll come back for sure... The Olympic trials are coming again and I wanna be ready.

See all

I was a guest of a member during the 18-inch snow storm, so I wore my $500 dollar suede Danner lights (Made in the USA) to manage the snow. Upon entry, I was informed by the staff that, due to the suede being too light, it looked too much like Timberland boots, which are banned. I was professionally whisked to a backroom, where I was offered to wear black loafers 3 sizes too large if I wanted to make my appointment. I spent the rest of my time skipping through the venue in order to not trip over myself, wearing massively oversized shoes. I would have been okay with this footwear restriction if it was universally enforced, but there were plenty of people in the club wearing duck boots, metal hook leather hiking boots, and even the same type of boots of a slightly darker shade. Apparently, the shoe shade restriction was not something members are aware about (the no sneakers restriction is well known). I have previously been a guest here with positive experiences. However, today I was put in an illogically unsafe experience, forced to wear loaner shoes 3 sizes too large, because $500 lighter suede boots are deemed less classy than duck boots for being too"Timberland like" during a snow storm.

I visited prior to joining as I have been a member of other prestigious gyms and spas in the past. Equinox has multiple levels of membership, and I recommend the Destination membership. It gives you access to Equinox gyms around the country! This is perfect for individuals who travel for work or leisure. Next, I would like to address the cost of membership. Membership will cost between $300-$400 per month. At first you may think, 'wow, this is expensive.' However, I did an analysis of multiple gyms! Let's examine the cost of other NYC hot spots. Other gyms offer power lifting as a main source of workout and charge over $200 per month. Some pilates studios offer training classes for approximately $180 per month. There are yoga studios across New York that average $169-$200 a month. There are gyms centered around group classes that cost an average of $220-275 per month. Swim club fitness average $180-250 per month. If you joined multiple gyms to meet your fitness needs, you would be spending over $1000 per month. WOW. This is why I joined Equinox! Your membership includes weight lifting options, cycle fit classes, yoga classes, pilates classes, core strengthing classes, HIIT training, persoal training, nutrition coaching, massage therapy from licensed massage therapists, an AMAZING spa, ViPR--an incredible workout that engages your core, improves flexibility, and builds strength and power! (Its wonderful). Furthermore, this location has a beautiful pool with city views! You can lap swim, take swimming classes, and have personal swim coaching. Equinox is a powerful place to be a part of. 160 Columbus even has an outdoor track with beautiful views of the City as you improve your cardio strength and endurance. Furthermore, the gym has a boxing arena/room! I can not think of a better place to be a part of a gym that offers 10 gym services all in one place! There is nothing that beats the quality of this type of membership. $1000 or $300-400 for all of your fitness needs. You decide! I LOVE Equinox at 160 Columbus Ave. The vibe is laid back yet professional and courteous. The concierge offers excellent services. I highly recommend Equinox. PM me, and I would be happy to give you a referral! There is a current incentive that you do not want to miss if you want to join Equinox! I can't wait to hear from you if you have questions about Equinox. Join. Strengthen. Enjoy! Tell Equinox, Lauren Lindsay sent you! I can not wait to hear from you and help you through the membership process!

General Manager Joseph Cloonan should be seriously investigated by Equinox for extremely…read moreinappropriate conduct. I had a minor issue with one of the workers, and instead of handling it professionally, GM Joseph Cloonan came up to me inside the men's locker room while I was not dressed. I asked him multiple times to please wait outside the locker room until I was dressed and told him I would speak with him outside. He refused and continued following me around the locker room, including while I was changing. I felt extremely uncomfortable and left the gym right away because I wanted to escalate and report what happened. About an hour later, I received a call saying I was banned from Equinox for life for allegedly violating the Mutual Respect Policy. Since then, I have made multiple attempts to contact Equinox corporate, Equinox HR, and Equinox legal. I have also tried dealing with club directors Allison Neimi and Emma Marr, but they refused to take a phone call from me, refused to let me explain what happened, and refused to provide any meaningful escalation contact. I am now filing a civil claim and complaints with the New York State Attorney General's Consumer Frauds Bureau, the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, and any other appropriate agency. Worth noting, Equinox has already faced serious consumer-protection scrutiny. In 2025, the New York Attorney General announced a $600,000 settlement with Equinox over membership and cancellation practices, including allegations that Equinox failed to clearly disclose subscription terms and failed to provide easy online cancellation options. In my opinion, this club handled the situation terribly. I was followed around a locker room while undressed, banned shortly after, and then ignored when I tried to report what happened through the proper channels.

You can access this from an elevator from the hotel, or there is another street entrance where the juice bar is downstairs, and you access this through separate elevator banks where you pass by their shop to make your way towards the lobby. This main floor includes the locker rooms, shop, check-in, and a beautiful lobby area with a long workstation table and some comfortable couches. The fitness floor is in an extended L-shape that spans the perimeter, and allows in a lot of natural light. Up the flight of stairs near the locker rooms is where the studios were (yoga, pilates, group fitness) along with Broken Coconut and of course, the pools, indoors and out. The spa is also accessible from this second level, however there was one entry that didn't permit members which was a little frustrating. I'm not a hardcore workout enthusiast, so I cannot go on about equipment, etc. However, the treadmills and stretching areas were fine, so I won't complain about any of that. Since there was a great shower upstairs, I didn't use the ones in the locker rooms. This location is a Destination one, and that breaks down into whether you are grandfathered in, or if your membership states 'Destination HY' if you've joined after a certain time since Equinox changes the names of the membership tiers ever so slightly (especially the cost difference). If you're already this status, give them a try just to say you worked out at the flagship, but if you're not, the day fee will be worthy for all they have to offer.

During that session, I was guided through an exercise I had never performed before using weight that was clearly too heavy while my form was incorrect throughout the movement. As a result, I experienced ongoing shoulder and neck pain for weeks, required medical evaluation and a physiotherapy referral, and missed multiple days of work. What was even more frustrating was the communication afterward. In text messages, rather than taking accountability, the trainer suggested that I should have spoken up if the weight was too heavy, despite the fact that he was the professional leading the exercise and letting me continue without correcting my form during the session. I reported the incident immediately and provided documentation to management, but Equinox ultimately denied responsibility and refused to assist with any medical-related costs. For a gym that markets itself as a premium fitness experience, I expected a much higher standard of safety, professionalism, and accountability

We both live in Flushing near Main St., so NYISC was a perfect place for us to travel to. The club inside was spacious and clean. Some of the staff greeted us as soon as we walked in and gave us a thorough and in-depth description of all the membership services and fees for ping pong games/coaching. The actual tables are professional-grade, and there are actually plenty of them spread throughout an enormous indoor facility. I liked the feel of the high ceilings while I played (or at least ATTEMPTED to play haha). Even though this place was popular on a weeknight around 7-8pm, the size of the facility didn't make me feel cramped. Checking out the rest of NYISC, I saw an indoor soccer field - which is a rare sight in a place such as Flushing. I don't play soccer, but I would recommend this space for soccer teams and friends looking to play a match or serious game. My boyfriend and I also wandered to the 'Pro Shop' in the sports club. They sold all different professional ping pong products from brands such as Butterfly (famous ping pong product manufacturer). We didn't purchase anything, but I did sign up for private lessons with one of the renowned & accomplished coaches. The pricing was for a set of 10 lessons and were more than affordable. The coaches were all world ranked, and have competed in Olympics, etc. Maybe one day I'll be able to at least keep up in a game with my boyfriend, lol. LAST THING: People here are very open and friendly. If you come on a weeknight like us or a weekend, there will always be staff to help you and fellow players/students to meet/interact with :) One person saw my extreme lack of ping-pong skills and kindly helped me out a bit the first time I came to NYISC -___- lols I will definitely be returning
