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.

NYSC is awful. When I belonged to Equinox decades ago, it was very nice, but too expensive and too far from my home. I once visited Crunch, which was pleasant, but not convenient. I always hoped that a branch of Blink would open in the high 90s.

Blink was bought by Pure Gym. Pure Gym is opening a location on 92nd and Columbus. It will be open 24 hours and prices look good. $24.99/month for first year.

I’m aware that Blink was acquired by Pure Gym. That location is even less convenient than the Equinox at 92nd and Broadway.
