[This review is specifically for their downtown Brooklyn location]…read more This gym does not provide a safe environment for women. In the locker room, there are chairs directly facing the changing area. This invites patrons to sit on the couch, with phones in their face, directly facing members who are changing. Three separate times I have turned around, while unclothed, and seen members using phones that are pointing directly at me (including being on FaceTime). While most members would put their phone when asked, some won't, claiming that photography is not allowed, but phone usage is permitted. To be clear: A person holding a phone up in a locker room creates a reasonable fear of recording, regardless of what they claim to be doing. This is such an egregious violation of privacy, and honestly displays a lack of common sense from management. Further, it should not be the job of members to police one another; it should be the job of management to provide a safe place for changing before and after workouts. Management has so far ignored my messages about this complete lack of respect for privacy.

Loved this place! I lived in NYC for a little over a year from 2022-2023 and was an Equinox member…read moreuntil I moved to somewhere where EQX didn't have a location. I visit NYC every so often for business trips, and have always struggled to find a gym I like that supports guest passes. I can happily say my search is finally over -- I'll definitely be coming back to GYM NYC every time I'm visiting the city! They sell 1-week passes for about $170, and day passes for $40. For me, it worked out better to get 4 day passes compared to the 1-week pass, but for those who would be visiting for a week and need to go 5+ sessions, that 1-week pass would be for you. Compared to EQX, the gym is way less crowded (even though it's smaller) and has all the equipment you need! The equipment is modern and plentiful: there are 2 flat bench press setups, one incline bench press, 3 deadlift platforms, and 4 squat racks. For accessory work there's also 3 adjustable flat benches and plenty of dumbbells. I usually go around 7am, which gets pretty crowded at EQX -- but this morning even by 7:30 there were still only a few other people in the gym. Amazing!

As you descend, you'll find the signature group fitness classes in equally as modern and cool rooms like GTX, CTR, Alpha, etc. There is also a salon at this location which I thought was really cool. The CTR room here was nicer than others I've been to, as it has plenty of mirrors and great mood lighting for a focused, slow burn class. The CTR class I took here was just ok, the instructor was friendly but a little all over the place. I'd love to return here and appreciate the up to date amenities and super convenient location for working fitness enthusiasts.

I recently took a yoga class here and really enjoyed it. The instructor, Moriah, created a welcoming environment, and it was a great way to stretch, recover, and recharge after a busy week. Definitely used muscles that had not been used in a while and I felt it. The variety of group fitness classes is one of the main reasons I joined. Since this was my first class, I didn't realize you had to sign the physical class check in form when you scan your barcode to enter the gym. So I received a $10charge for no show. I called and a staff member was able to help me by flagging this situation for someone who could get the charge reversed. The gym has plenty of equipment, and the amenities are excellent. The dry sauna has quickly become one of my favorite features. The locker rooms are spacious and stocked with towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, blow dryers, and even hair straighteners, which is a thoughtful touch. I'm only a week into my membership, but I'm really happy with my decision to join and look forward to spending a lot more time working out here.

Everything feels a bit cramped and it feels more like a hotel gym. However all the machines and weights are brand new and the gym isn't crowded during peak hours right now. I came in at 7 and was able to get a great workout in without having to wait for anything. The front desk staff are really friendly and welcoming. One thing I do love is how accessible this lifetime is to get to using the subway. It's a great gym and perfect for when you want a change of scenery from the lifetimes at sky and 23rd street.
