I used this gym for about a year. I think it's in general ok…read more Staffs and instructors are very nice and helpful and will respond to our comments. I really like Genre's classes. The pool is fine but too much chlorine since I smell like chlorine a full day after swimming. Though I suppose too chlorine little may mean the pool has potential for too much bacteria? Another annoying thing is they close out half the lanes all the time and when they would close it is always unpredictable (so you may get kicked to another lane mid-swimming). I only use fitness classes and pools. I don't have much to say about it's equipment (They look clean and nice). As for fitness classes I would say it's still a beginner-gym. So if you want peers who could push you to another level this might not be the best place.

I visited Asphalt Green to drop in for lap swimming…read more The facilities are clean and bright. The pool has lots of windows and natural light. I was kind of intimidated, because I don't get to lap swim very often. I wound up sharing the lane with 2 or 3 other people. Everyone was really friendly and communicative regarding lane-sharing. Would definitely go back for a swim. The only thing I would change is add more time slots available for adult lap swimming.

I was looking for a comfortable well equipped gym in my area. This is it for me. There is a cardio…read moreroom with the usual stuff treads, elliptical, cycling and one Erg, rowing machine. As I am an erg fanatic, I can say that the chain needs some oil. The monitor does not work . The tension control does not allow for a variety of settings . It slips. However, I can still find a way to work on my core , arms and legs. The gym has not been crowded which I like. There is a pool a steam room and a sauna. The exercise equipment room seems to be well equipped with several machines and weights. The staff is friendly. The gym overlooks the hudson so exercising is made easier due to the view, the pool has a top that opens when the weather is warm. There is an outdoor patio and a very large indoor lounge room. The hours are: Weekdays 6:30am-10:30 and 4:30-9:00pm weekends 9:30-6pm

Close to the Fulton St station 4, 5, A, C, 2, 3. You could walk from R City Hall and 6 Brooklyn Bridge. Gym Size: Two floors. Lower floor is smaller with a stretch area. Upper floor is larger with a room dedicated to free weights. Cardio equipment is on both floors. Locker Room Size (Men's): average for the size of gym. Equipment (outside of the basics mentioned below): battle ropes, plyo boxes, No kettlebells above 50 lbs, no TRX Crowdedness: Target audience seems to be the working crowd especially during the lunch time hours. Also seems to be a favorite of Pace students. Cleanliness: clean enough. Staff Friendliness: Friendly enough. Hours: 7 days/wk. On par with other NYC Blinks but note early close 5pm on weekends. Also weeknights closing time is 10pm. Overall: an ok Blink with an odd 2-floor layout. Doesn't seem to get overly crowded (maybe lunchtime). Dedicated stretch area a plus. Not my favorite Blink but fills the need if you are in the area. *Unless noted, assume all Blink gyms have locker rooms, water fountain, stretch area, dumbbells, kettlebells (up to 50lbs), smith machines, weight machines, cardio equipment (Rower, treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, stairclimber), showers, wipes, Towel machine (pay separate charge). Assume you can scan in via App or Apple Wallet/Watch **Note: I am a Blink user with entry possibility of all their NYC area gyms via an Add-on to my Classpass membership. (I did not want to deal with Blink corporate in case I needed to cancel and wanted to avoid a startup fee or annual charge). I do not take showers at the gym and tend to go off-peak hours.

It's a nice 25 yard indoor pool with water maintained at a cool temperature in the summer. It feels great taking a swim on a hot summer day. The day pass is $15, but if you plan on going the whole year, the annual pass is definitely a reasonable choice. The pool is usually not too crowded and I usually have one more person in my lane. Make sure to bring a lock with you so that you can store your stuff securely in the locker. You also need to wear a swim cap to swim in the pool. I also like that there is no need to bring a hairdryer because the hand dryers in the girls' locker room is positioned well and powerful enough for drying your hair.

I've felt like this place was a bit of a secret. I remember when I stumbled upon it during an…read moreadventurous bike ride. I was a bit ashamed I'd missed it after living in Carroll Gardens for so many years. It's in an obscure location (covering half the block on Nevins from Douglas to DeGraw - get it Double-D). While it is a city pool and they have a few rules they're strict about, you get an overall solid experience. Never TOO crowded, great sun exposure all times of the day and friendly staff. It's not a resort, so don't kid yourself that you can come lounge out, get your tan on and listen to some tunes. If you want to swim in a clean and properly maintained pool for FREE you could do a lot worse. There are 2 pools! There is a 1 foot deep kiddie splash around pool that has a completely separate gated zone (and a covered bench area for Mom or Dad). The other is a full size 3 foot deep pool with a dedicated swimming laps lane on the Western side. Rules that are important: - You have to wear swim trunks (not just shorts) - meaning it has to have a liner - You have to bring a lock (and show them upon entering) - You can't bring anything to the pool but yourself, sunblock and a towel - Shirts worn can only be white (in the pool area) - You must shower briefly before entering the pool area (it's cold so get ready) If you are there during noon time, there is an NYC provided lunch available. Often they seem to have extras and want you to take it. It's not Court Street Grocer, but your kid may eat it and at least get a healthy piece of fruit. Pro tip: It's closed from 3-4 PM daily for cleaning, so get there exactly at 4 PM to get some uncrowded time in.

It is hard to understand why because there are usually a bunch of attendants sitting around in the front at 11am but they never open the entrance gate til around 11:15/11:20am. Sometimes they have to wait for the police attendant to come. Once they do open, it is pretty fast to get inside. They look to make sure you have a lock. They require you to rinse off before going into the pool. On the deck, they don't allow you to wear anything besides a bathing suit or a white tee and flip flops. Not supposed to bring food, books or cell phone out.

I thought if I ever had a kid this is where I would go. Fast forward I brought Otto my son here when he was about 5 months. He didn't love it but the instruction was solid and loving. We stopped for a while because he was just not ready -- though I'm really glad I gave him that first year because he learned how to go under water and never held his nose. We shopped around for cheaper and closer and finally we came back. In one lesson he was swimming !!!! His teacher then and now Victoria is amazing!! She is steady loving and firm.
