[This review is specifically for their downtown Brooklyn location]…read more This gym does not provide a safe environment for women. In the locker room, there are chairs directly facing the changing area. This invites patrons to sit on the couch, with phones in their face, directly facing members who are changing. Three separate times I have turned around, while unclothed, and seen members using phones that are pointing directly at me (including being on FaceTime). While most members would put their phone when asked, some won't, claiming that photography is not allowed, but phone usage is permitted. To be clear: A person holding a phone up in a locker room creates a reasonable fear of recording, regardless of what they claim to be doing. This is such an egregious violation of privacy, and honestly displays a lack of common sense from management. Further, it should not be the job of members to police one another; it should be the job of management to provide a safe place for changing before and after workouts. Management has so far ignored my messages about this complete lack of respect for privacy.

Loved this place! I lived in NYC for a little over a year from 2022-2023 and was an Equinox member…read moreuntil I moved to somewhere where EQX didn't have a location. I visit NYC every so often for business trips, and have always struggled to find a gym I like that supports guest passes. I can happily say my search is finally over -- I'll definitely be coming back to GYM NYC every time I'm visiting the city! They sell 1-week passes for about $170, and day passes for $40. For me, it worked out better to get 4 day passes compared to the 1-week pass, but for those who would be visiting for a week and need to go 5+ sessions, that 1-week pass would be for you. Compared to EQX, the gym is way less crowded (even though it's smaller) and has all the equipment you need! The equipment is modern and plentiful: there are 2 flat bench press setups, one incline bench press, 3 deadlift platforms, and 4 squat racks. For accessory work there's also 3 adjustable flat benches and plenty of dumbbells. I usually go around 7am, which gets pretty crowded at EQX -- but this morning even by 7:30 there were still only a few other people in the gym. Amazing!

Came to 14th Street Y to see Mark Jason Williams' play Straight Face Lies. It was a funny, familiar…read moreplay about family and the lies that are sometimes told in the name of love. It was an enjoyable evening. What was remarkably with the company is I was running late (damn you MTA!) and my friends spoke with organizer who actually gave a ten minute grace! I made it within that window and I was able to enjoy the play. I thanked the lady after but I'm so sorry I didn't get her name to publicly thank her here. Taking pics of course is frowned upon but when has that ever stopped me. Building was clean and looked well kept. 14th street Y's staff was very friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely consider attending other events here. The End.

Not a safe place. I was a long standing, peaceful member until one day I was harrssed and…read morephysically threatened by an employee. I asked staff for help and they ignored me. A few days later, a staff member told me by phone that the matter was being investigated. She lied. My membership had been cut off. I asked why. No one told me. I made repeated requests to rejoin, and least, tell me what MY offense was when the other person so clearly violated me. No reply at all. Not even the courtesy of a response. I'm an elderly white woman. The other person was half my age, large, and black. She said, "I'm going to get you," and could have done real harm to me. The only explanation I can see is racism.

BEWARE OF MEMBERSHIP SCAM- when I signed up for this gym I was told my membership fee rate will…read moreremain the same for the life of my membership. The representative, Mary, who issued my contract crossed out the section of the contract that states TMPL has the right to increase my membership fees and initialed next to the strike through text. In August I received an email from TMPL's manager Patty explaining that they are increasing my rate starting September 1st. I sent her my copy of the contract showing the area regarding increases crossed out. Patty told me they cannot verify their own employee and that representatives aren't authorized to alter contracts. I requested a copy of their records pertaining to my membership and have received no response. I have sent Patty numerous emails and tried calling the gym multiple times across weeks and have been ignored each time. This is unethical business practices as they are breaching their own contract. If their representative made a mistake it is their issue to deal with, not the clients. I consider this to be a scam because they tricked me with this contract and have ignored me since. I will be sending my copy of the contract to NYC department of consumer and worker protections as well as the attorney general's office who enforces NY health club services act. I encourage all other victims of this scam to do the same. Update- I finally heard back from Patty after posting this review. She gave me the ultimatum that I must authorize the charge to my credit card or they will cancel my membership. I explained I will allow the charge but would like to have the agencies which govern gym memberships review the situation. I said if they agree that TMPL can increase my rate I will drop my dispute. Patty said she will speak to her team and call me back. I never heard back and received an email that my membership has been canceled. Please act with extreme caution when interacting with a business who penalizes their patrons for seeking consumer protections or questions the legitimacy of their practices. I still have not been provided with the gym's copy of my contract.

All the fear-mongering about "biological males" in women's spaces? Not our lived reality at TMPL. You belong at TMPL. You're welcome here, and there are plenty of us in these spaces every day. Management told me that if anyone gives me the stink eye or acts unsupportive, I should go straight to them and it will be handled. That kind of backing matters. I'm genuinely grateful to TMPL for creating a space where respect isn't negotiable.

Excellent pilates classes with quite classical focus on body control. Like particularly that many…read moreclasses end up incorporating tower and reformer, something other classes in NYC are missing. Body Evolutions was fundamental in helping me level up my pilates technique as a beginner, highly encourage those starting out to take a few classes and get the fundamentals down.

Through our search for a calm pilates class on ClassPass, my friends and I ended up here…read more I thought we would be receiving some sort of name logging to make sure it was us when we came in, but we blended in with the regulars hopping onto the machines upon entering. Nicole, our instructor for that day's class, probably recognizes her regulars from new students though and was so kind to have everyone move over for us newbies to sit together. There were 7 students/machines in total for our class, alongside a Gyrotonic class happening on the inner side. As soon as we hopped on, we got right into it! Hot girl summer? More like hard working strong girl summer, as I sure felt every stretch and sweat with each exercise! Nicole would calmly give new set instructions, and offer visual demonstrations with her body that I found helpful. That, and looking at the regular next to me! For someone new to pilates reformers, I found the class difficult, yet relaxing. It's like doing a calmer Chloe Ting workout on a cool machine. Highly recommend, and I can definitely see the potential benefits with regular classes. Thanks Body Evolution for the introduction to pilates!

I love working out here with Charlie! I have been working out on my own for years and I felt…read morestagnant in my routine. Adding personal training sessions with Charlie has really enhanced my body and mind. He couples exercises together really well for maximum effectiveness and to meet your own goals. He also focus is on stretching before and after each session. Charlie will help warm you up so that you can push your body safely. He also helps cool you down after the workout to release tension in your muscles. The cool down consists of various assisted stretches and targeting areas with the theragun. Highly recommend. Nimble is a nice gym. Everyone is doing some sort of one on one work out class and sharing the space comfortably. I have been there at many hours of the day and it is never too crowded. The facilities are well kept. A lot of great equipment of all kinds. There are showers so you can go before work. They have shower products and provide towels. The other trainers and staff are very friendly.

Daniel, Keith and Jason, the co-owners of Nimble, have done a terrific job creating a friendly and…read morewarm environment to work out. Unlike most gyms that feel like factories, these guys and their fellow trainers work hard to customize each session to the needs and fitness level of their clients. They bring a standard of expertise and attention that is rare in this industry. I've been working out with Daniel and Keith for over 25 years and have been recommending Nimble Fitness to my friends since it first opened. I highly recommend Nimble to anyone - at any level of fitness - who is looking for an expert trainer in a comfortable and easy-going environment.

Presher is by far my favorite place in the city for boxing classes…read more Jafar is an excellent instructor and since the classes are smaller in size than places like Grit, you get much more one on one focus and coaches like Jafar will give you personalized critiques on your technique and form which has been really helpful. Vincent is also a great owner. He's super friendly and very accommodating and communicative when it comes to class reschedules. I've been taking boxing classes at Presher for a few months now it's one of the best fitness decisions I've made this year.

Presher Fitness opened within recent months and I would have never heard about it if my trainer…read moreAngel didn't invite me to a class there. I have no idea why they aren't advertising this place more as it is a good location with an awesome facility! I took boxing while my trainer was teaching there, but because of light traffic it seems that trainer turnover might be high. Regardless, the gym itself is new, clean, large and inviting. I'm hoping to try different classes there when I can! They offer random promos so definitely check it out when you can!

The trainers care about each individual class and refrain from mega-bro/fake inspiration vernacular (looking at you Rumble and Soul Cycle). Bathrooms are clean, showers work, and the music changes frequently which avoids repetition. Worth the time and money so you'll probably see me there often.

People can walk in and out of your "class" or there's other classes going on next to yours. It has the same vibe as a mediocre gym. Music wasn't great but it was def. one of the harder HIIT classes and I thoroughly enjoyed the painful sweat sesh. I was actually excited to go back even though I'm only for boutique fitness studios (yes, judge me, IDC!), but throwdown messed up - They cancelled my class a few hours prior via classpass the day of. I lugged my gym clothes out to work just to have them cancel the class with extremely short notice. Not life and death bc I just ended up working out at my local gym that day, but boy that's not how these fitness studios should roll if they want to keep people happy.
