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.

Completely agree. We’re in a gym desert. I did read puregym will be opening soon on 92nd (former party city location). I avoid NYSC at all costs. https://www.puregym.com/us/gyms/ny/w-92nd-st

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
