My kid is on the older side and doesn't know how to climb so I decided to sign her up for a one week class just for her to get a feel of things. The other climbing gym in the neighborhood didn't teach anything at all and just told her to have at it. This place though takes the time to really show technique and what the kids should be doing to make sure that they are safe and how to have fun. I am hoping she likes it enough to be able to join their afterschool program. So far the staff have been very friendly and professional when I've dealt with them via email or in person. I think this is a good place for a beginner just to try to see what things are-

Been rock climbing since 2010 and is very familiar with bouldering and this place has lots of routes of just one level. You probably need like a couple of days just to go thru all the routes before they change the walls. Overall I would say this is one of the top places to rock climb in the area. Easy to get to and is a great date activity

They are thoughtful and caring trainers. I train privately because I have a hip injury and do not want to hold up a class. The assessment is a smart way to make sure the training they recommend works to safely give you the results you are looking for. The supportive community at Grassroots is so inspiring. Their staff is well trained and the vibe is one of family and community. This is a very special place!!

I took one of their strength & conditioning classes on a Monday at 12pm, and the only one there - which was great for me, since I probably would've slowed the rest of the class down! Patricia was a FANTASTIC instructor. I shared with her my major non-athleticism, and she made adjustments as needed throughout the workout. She was very encouraging, talkative, and helped me make adjustments when needed. I got a great workout in - that I could feel for several days afterward lol - and felt stronger. Excited to take another one of their classes!

The harlem river drive is very far below and also, since you are north of the GWB, it is not so busy. Then there is a large pedestrian path going south, amazingly pleasant, until you get to the Washington Bridge, then you need to go out of the park, the park is not at all maintained there, so you cross the bridge just slightly west of the park, and re enters the park south of the bridge, where the water tower stands, and you can cross the highbridge itself to the bronx, which we did and I recommend it. We walked all the way down to 145th street, There is another park between 155th and 145th street, Jackie Robinson Park , we walked by it on Edgecombe avenue, it was very nice !

I noticed Benswic on Classpass a few years ago. Back then, I was taking a variety of classes at…read morevarious gyms throughout NYC so I was only going once a week to Benswic. But since the pandemic hit NYC, Benswic has become my fitness home, and I now go about 3-4 times a week. Not only is it conveniently located between work and home, I love the variety of classes! It's safe to say I have probably taken almost every class offered, and I have enjoyed all the classes. I generally lean toward the strength classes, and my absolute favorite is the "Balance and Strength" class. The exercises are different every week, and all the coaches are great!

Be aware that this place is a bit different from a typical crossfit / cross-training box:…read more 1. There is very little equipment. Classes are without barbells, abmats, ropes, rings, and for the most part, boxes for box-jumps. There are pullup bars and barbells. 2. The workout is 30 mins, not a full 55 mins or 60 mins. This means, basically, that there is no warmup, and no strengthening phase. If you are part of the over-40 set, this might be a deal-breaker, since it spells pain the next day and cumulative pain if you have joint issues. There are good points: - Coaches pay attention and will help you get it right. Kudos to coaches. - Workouts (which are mostly body-weight workouts) have a good flow, and are just fine, if you don't care about the warmup or building strength on a bar. - Nice group spirit among participants. There are bad points: - Gym is quite dirty. The ritual of spraying windex where you sweated is a little absurd; somebody needs to come in and mop the chunks of dirt up -- at the end of the day, at the very least. - No locker room; you had better live nearby. - Gym is cramped, dark, with a low ceiling. Saturday morning classes are packed too tight. - No a/c in the warm weather -- maybe not even fans, sometimes. In sum, I found that the gym wasn't delivering enought for $199/mo. Really not a good deal; I might have stayed for $150 or $100. Too much pain per gain.

The W 92nd street location isn't the fanciest one and doesn't have amenities that some other locations have such as a pool or rooftop, but it's my favorite branch. Why? The staff! They are so kind and helpful. The personal trainers will meet you where you are at and listen to what your goals are before helping you build a routine. The equipment is top of the line and they have a great variety of classes. I look forward to Pilates Rise every week. The locker room is full of bespoke products and a steam room to wind down after your workout. The little shop and juice bar are great. It's the cleanest gym I've ever been to.
