  An exceptional gym with excellent instructors, outstanding management, and a welcoming community. The facility is always clean, the classes are fantastic, and the staff genuinely care about the members. I’ve been a member for years and highly recommend it.

  The staff are nice, the facilities good, haven’t taken a class so i can’t tell you about those. All I know is that I haven’t been able to use the 45° leg press in the last several weeks because it’s never free. I didn’t have this problem at Blink, and I’m paying 8x as much 🤷🏻‍♂️ I have a harder time getting a bench for free weights. Honestly, I think they just have too many people here for the price. And I don’t come in during the late afternoon/evening when it’s busiest. One suggestion — move all the leg stuff closer together.

  I've been going to Chelsea Piers for about 1 year. I think it's been decent. It's on the pricier end, but still cheaper than other premium gyms. I typically do cardio, body weight, and strength training. There is an acceptable amount of equipment: usually 1-2 racks are free except for peak hours and a bench is always available. A big issue is etiquette. There are a lot of full size power racks which accommodate two people, but most folks are uncomfortable with someone else using the other section of it. This isn't really Chelsea Piers fault but more of a gym etiquette shortcoming I see less often as gyms geared towards more serious folk (GYM BK, GYM U, etc.). People are also often visibly uncomfortable when asking to work in. The locker facilities aren't great. The bathrooms and showers are always dirty and smell pretty rank. I feel like I am in a YMCA except paying 10x the price. About 20% of the showers don't have their water getting that hot. The shower heads are also just pretty cheap: not really sure why they decided to cheap out here. The sauna and steam room are nice. There's always been plenty of space in the locker room and I haven't had to wait for showers. I also appreciate how they have diffusers for folks with curly hair although, again, I'm not sure why they skimmed on super cheap hair dryers and diffuser. I really like the turf and body weight fitness areas which are awesome and a rare find in NYC. I do wish there were a larger variety of body weight machines. This is one of the strongest draws for me. The pool is pretty hard to get a reservation for and I've struggled to be able to use it. The hot tub is a nice perk though and imo under used.
