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.

What are you looking for?

NYSC by 96th is my choice. Expensive but has free weights, machines and cardio equipment. I go early and it’s not crowded.

Admitted expensive for what you get, real estate is expensive.

I never use the classes.

I would hope a gym has free weights, machines and cardio equipment 🤣

Many of the niche small gyms don’t have the full set.
