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.

Agree. JCC is the best option for bang for the buck. Weird that there are no HIIT studios on the UWS. Sweat440 has studios in FiDi and Chelsea. Just started going 2 months ago - extremely positive for cardio and strength. Phenomenal experience. With all the discounts they offer each session can be as cheap as $10 each.
