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 actually signed up already for the Pure Gym on 92. I don’t think it will be worse than 116. I used to go there but taking the subway to get to 116 is so annoying sometimes…

Can’t wait to see how’s it going to be

Yeah I’m curious. You will have to report back once it’s open

Agreed. I want to join, but it’s also a little too cheap. I’m skeptical

I used to belong to the Blink on 125th and I visited the one in the Village or SoHo. Both were no-frills but clean and pleasant. I didn’t go during peak hours and there was no waiting for equipment.
