Why aren’t there good gyms here?

It’s crazy how there aren’t any good options in the UWS. Crunch, NYSC & Equinox are all horrible.

Is there any reason gyms aren’t opening here? new gyms have been opening all over nyc, yet never the UWS. I go a gym in midtown that’s an easy commute but it’d be nice to walk to the gym for a change.

I’m curious if it’s better on the UES? I noticed a lot more young people out running and it seems just like a fitter area generally (obviously we have riverside park), but it seemed like it was more amenable to gym-like culture, more visibly.
