I was looking for a comfortable well equipped gym in my area. This is it for me. There is a cardio…read moreroom with the usual stuff treads, elliptical, cycling and one Erg, rowing machine. As I am an erg fanatic, I can say that the chain needs some oil. The monitor does not work . The tension control does not allow for a variety of settings . It slips. However, I can still find a way to work on my core , arms and legs. The gym has not been crowded which I like. There is a pool a steam room and a sauna. The exercise equipment room seems to be well equipped with several machines and weights. The staff is friendly. The gym overlooks the hudson so exercising is made easier due to the view, the pool has a top that opens when the weather is warm. There is an outdoor patio and a very large indoor lounge room. The hours are: Weekdays 6:30am-10:30 and 4:30-9:00pm weekends 9:30-6pm

It has a fake little sand/beach area. Over looks Manhattan, there is also a wrist band needed for every 45min shift. For 15 mins each hour the pool is tested. And only a certain amount of people are let into the pool at one time. This is the most awesome public pool in NYC!

Of course I would also like to look better but health is my main focus now. Lauren played very motivating music and the class was high energy! At one point my heart rate went up to 146, which never happens when I'm on the treadmill. I'm so glad I took Stronger! In my opinion, Equinox Wall Street is one of the coolest clubs I've visited so far. Very large locker room! Luxurious and roomy!

My goal is to visit as many Blink gyms in NYC…read more Location: Upstairs. Gym occupies two floors. Elevator: yes Convenience: in the financial district. Close to the Fulton St station 4, 5, A, C, 2, 3. You could walk from R City Hall and 6 Brooklyn Bridge. Gym Size: Two floors. Lower floor is smaller with a stretch area. Upper floor is larger with a room dedicated to free weights. Cardio equipment is on both floors. Locker Room Size (Men's): average for the size of gym. Equipment (outside of the basics mentioned below): battle ropes, plyo boxes, No kettlebells above 50 lbs, no TRX Crowdedness: Target audience seems to be the working crowd especially during the lunch time hours. Also seems to be a favorite of Pace students. Cleanliness: clean enough. Staff Friendliness: Friendly enough. Hours: 7 days/wk. On par with other NYC Blinks but note early close 5pm on weekends. Also weeknights closing time is 10pm. Overall: an ok Blink with an odd 2-floor layout. Doesn't seem to get overly crowded (maybe lunchtime). Dedicated stretch area a plus. Not my favorite Blink but fills the need if you are in the area. *Unless noted, assume all Blink gyms have locker rooms, water fountain, stretch area, dumbbells, kettlebells (up to 50lbs), smith machines, weight machines, cardio equipment (Rower, treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, stairclimber), showers, wipes, Towel machine (pay separate charge). Assume you can scan in via App or Apple Wallet/Watch **Note: I am a Blink user with entry possibility of all their NYC area gyms via an Add-on to my Classpass membership. (I did not want to deal with Blink corporate in case I needed to cancel and wanted to avoid a startup fee or annual charge). I do not take showers at the gym and tend to go off-peak hours.

They not only hate their jobs, they hate you and want you to know it. The pods are ideal to avoid interacting with rude, hostile staff. Alas, the trainers who are not in good physical condition, are still employed here and still incredibly rude.

It's a nice 25 yard indoor pool with water maintained at a cool temperature in the summer. It feels great taking a swim on a hot summer day. The day pass is $15, but if you plan on going the whole year, the annual pass is definitely a reasonable choice. The pool is usually not too crowded and I usually have one more person in my lane. Make sure to bring a lock with you so that you can store your stuff securely in the locker. You also need to wear a swim cap to swim in the pool. I also like that there is no need to bring a hairdryer because the hand dryers in the girls' locker room is positioned well and powerful enough for drying your hair.

It is hard to understand why because there are usually a bunch of attendants sitting around in the front at 11am but they never open the entrance gate til around 11:15/11:20am. Sometimes they have to wait for the police attendant to come. Once they do open, it is pretty fast to get inside. They look to make sure you have a lock. They require you to rinse off before going into the pool. On the deck, they don't allow you to wear anything besides a bathing suit or a white tee and flip flops. Not supposed to bring food, books or cell phone out.

The staff makes sure to harass you as much as they can, you aren't allowed to have fun, they have a problem with everything, no running, no jumping, no holding on to each other while swimming, phones must be in the locker and cannot be used in the pool deck. The kiddie pool was closed on this day I visited because someone shit in it. I actually read in the news that they closed the entire pool the week before on one of the hottest days of the summer because someone shit in it. Google it if you don't believe me. The atmosphere has definitely improved, but not worth coming here again since the staff likes to make sure that they manage every little detail and impose each and every rule upon you. You really can't have fun at this pool, everything is a problem, literally my 4 year old daughter was holding on to me while swimming, they said "No holding on to each other while swimming." This place has potential but as long as it's ran by the NYC Parks and recreation it will always be a toilet.
