I've visited several locations, and there were roaches, especially at 8th Avenue and 94th Street. Other locations also have very rude staff and unhelpful managers. Honestly, this is the worst club in the city -- truly a TRASH facility! The only location that decent clean is east 23rd street. On top of all this, I was also charged late fees even though I made my payment on time and they refused to help out with it or anything else. Seriously!

I enjoyed the intense workout and truly appreciated the encouraging vibe and great workout tips from the instructor, Scott. The workout spot is ample but could be better organized--the exercises require benches and floor space and occasionally I didn't know where to go or feel like I had sufficient floor room between benches. Room is downstairs and ran a bit hot, and changing space is limited. Still and all, the workout was great and I'd definitely go back for more. Instructor was fantastic--encouraging and helpful.

It feels like they wanted to throw a little bit of everything on each floor which ends up being a pain if it's busy -- e.g., you're waiting for a squat rack and two on one floor are taken, so you go to the next floor and those two are taken, so you go to the next floor and those are taken... back you go to repeat. The only way it all really works is if you're doing a full body workout and cardio every day.

I didn't have much hope that this would be a "real workout" after reading about EMS training online…read moreI thought it was too good to be true. I was sore for 2 days straight after this!! When you walk in, you are given some long shorts and a shirt in your size to change into in one of the three dressing rooms. You can then leave your belongings in one of the lockers and start your workout. Your instructor will wet a suit and then help you put it on and get all hooked up to the machine. This suit is a $5 one time rental or you can rent more permanently I believe. Afterwards, you will workout for 15-20 minutes doing some movements guided by your instructor, who also adjusts the intensity of the pulses the machine emits. They let me know this equals about 4 hours in the gym. The workout does get quite intense as most people are not familiar with the machine's pulsing sensations, but tensing your muscles does help! Afterwards, they encourage you to rest, stretch and drink water. There are showers available here as well. As I only went for the trial session and am not too familiar with this kind of fitness, I can't speak on the total efficacy of consistent sessions, but I will say the soreness I felt was real, and I imagine that this would probably be beneficial to some looking to diversify their training, especially those that might not have a full hour to devote to a workout that day. They're on ClassPass as well and super easy to book!

I had a very disappointing experience. I was charged incorrectly and given conflicting information…read moreabout my remaining sessions and billing. My contract was for 6 months, but I was charged for 7 months of sessions, and the amounts billed were not accurate. For example, the contract stated $225, but I was charged $287.38. I was also told I had 6 sessions left, but when I arrived I was informed I needed to pay for another month. This is unacceptable and unprofessional. Please correct your billing records. Also, the vests were always unclean and smelled bad. Several people I recommended this workout to also stopped going because they all had bad experiences.

I was a member of Gym U for 10 months. At first, it was a great place to work out, but as time went…read moreon, more people signed up, and it became overcrowded, especially in the evenings. The management also cuts costs on the air conditioning, so it gets extremely hot when it's busy. Additionally, the showers and steam room are frequently closed. The most disappointing part, however, was the behavior of certain privileged members, who seem to be friends of David. These individuals believe that if they need an exercise machine you're using, you should immediately give it up. If you don't, they start a drama--staring at you, threatening and cursing at you. Afterward, they report you and play the victim. The management, including David Barton, turns a blind eye to this behavior, even going so far as to blame you for the situation, suggesting that perhaps this gym isn't the right fit for you. I ultimately decided to cancel my membership, though I still had 3 days left. Despite this, they decided to terminate it immediately, accusing me of misconduct and stealing the days. Dear Mr. Barton, let me clarify what misconduct truly is: it's when your friends are calling other members "an asshole" just for trying to work out peacefully, kicking them off machines for no reason. Misconduct is also when the orgies happen in the steam room or somebody's giving a head in the locker room. None of the above relates to me. You also don't have to answer to my review and write another lie.

There appears to be little enforcement of basic gym etiquette - no one should be walking on a treadmill for two hours while a line of members is waiting. Several pieces of equipment have been broken for months. Despite repeated complaints, there has been no clear resolution or communication regarding repairs. I reached out to the General Manager, Melina, about these concerns and received what felt like a generic, impersonal response written using ChatGPT. The issue was then passed off to a junior team member without meaningful follow-up. As a member of nearly three years, it's disheartening to see what feels like a steady decline in service and accountability - especially considering the cost of membership. For the price point, you would be better off joining Equinox for a higher standard of service and overall gym experience. The only reason I am giving two stars is because many of the staff members and fellow members are consistently kind and welcoming.

I joined this gym in January and its the best investment I've made this year, im a shitty day trader so thats not saying much. The Yoga studios are so peaceful and the instructors are all masters. Notably Jason Morris hot yoga classes are energizing and therapeutic, he is such a Guru Ive learned so much about anatomy and making a mind body connection that it spills over into weight training. Luliias voice is so soothing and her classes are so fun, the Friday class specially feels like everyone is connected Gigis class is super cool on Sundays it should be renamed Juicy Yoga with Gigi lol, shes so funny and connects with everyone, the class feels like cuddles after sex. Spin with Juggy and Melora is elite. Ive gotten so much faster in my road bike after just a few classes. Functional training with Nyerre Mays is un-unreal. He is such a cool dude and such a Pro. The pool is epic, the Jacuzzi forget about it. The entire staff is super friendly and makes everyone feel super welcomed. I truly feel at home whenever I make it to the gym. The MVPs of the gym are the cleaning staff though, everything is so spotless all the time. In a city so chaotic is nice to have this peaceful oasis.
