Swimming for babies review: WOW. It's so cold all the kids are miserable and shivering. We paid a crazy cheap price for swim lessons ($170 for like 8 of them), but the catch? It's SO COLD our toddler was miserable. We made it to 3 and then decided we couldn't put her through it anymore. The teacher was great, but wow. She couldn't even move. We bought her a wet suit and she was still purple within the first half. At our home swimming pool, she puts her head under and jumps off the side into the water. Here she could only scream: "get out! Get out the pool!" Wasted money, but we didn't know it was SO cold until after we paid and tried to handle it.
Lovely staff and regulars - so so friendly. But the climbing gym is tiny and really cramped. That is reflected in the cheaper membership than most climbing gyms in NYC, but giving it three rather than four because it's not beginner friendly, and because I felt unsafe on the walls in the first room. I'm sure it's actually safe, but the padding seemed thin, the holds slippy, and the hard floor too close.
As other reviewers have mentioned, it's largely for intermediate climbers who want to tackle tough climbs with a small group of regular visitors. Perfect if that's what you're looking for. Otherwise I'd avoid. (Except for the pleasure of meeting a load of lovely climbers.)
Small but great gym. Not best for the beginner as it's mostly a bouldering gym with v3+ climbs. Great for intermediate and advanced climbers. Routes updated frequently. They don't have as many routes as they used to, but still plenty for me to keep up with.
The staff at this location are the friendliest that I have ever met! The change room and showers are very nice. They have towel service and flip-flop service, shampoo and conditioner in the showers as well.
The rock climbing gym is fairly small for space but has densely packed and unique bouldering problems. The bouldering problems usually don't have room to go very high but they do go up corners, a cave section, and through/around an archway. I loved how the setting for the boulders wasn't just vertical like most gyms have it. There is often more of a traverse and sometimes climbing through a door archway.
There are only a handful of auto-belay setups. There is a cool lead-climbing "roof" above the bouldering section but that probably gets little use.
The people I met climbing here for a couple hours were all super friendly. I didn't know anyone there but ended up talking to quite a lot of people which is different from most climbing gyms I've been to.
There is also a weight room, cardio equipment, pool, and tennis courts at this location but I did not use them.
I came specifically for the climbing - unlike most gyms I have been to, this gym is super cozy. My favorite part - which I have yet to climb is the overhanging roof for lead. So glad i found this place.
I've been here, and it's AWESOME
One of the best gym I ever been
This place was great. The facilities were clean and just as advertised.
The people were far and away above and beyond. They were welcoming, informative, and just all around excellent people.
Shooting for the hip, Jordan, Tara, Missa, and Deborah helped us from our 1st call all through recommending dinner options nearby. They were patient with us and our kids.
We had a chance to climb at the gym as well. Jude, gave us the overview and made sure we were settled well. The routes were challenging and made great use of the space.
I can see why all the members seemed so happy during our visit.
Great place, highly recommend.
Awesome gym
Good variety of free weights and equipments, pool, steam room, sauna and whirlpools. They have a good number of classes all day. The locker room is well kept and clean (the men's locker room at least). The price is not absurd given the amount of amenities that are included (note that rock climbing and tennis are extra) and the best thing: the gym doesn't get too crowded.
Have been a member for many years now. A very cozy gym. Climbing gym, and a pool and much more

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. People complaining about the price ? The stairs? Seriously?! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR great amenities, great workout studio classes, pool sessions, staff etc visit the gym and see for yourself. I have nothing bad to say. Eric was wonderful he broke down everything I needed to know about my membership, gave me a very thorough tour around the gym and answered any questions I had. Also met with me 3 days in advance from my actual appointment to see the gym! If you need someone to talk to about joining thats your guy! Thank you so much you all are awesome!

Horrible and rude staff. They will take your money and not provide. Stay away.
With the membership being over-priced and the customer service as pathetic as it is, I strongly advise you to not waste your hard-earned money here. SWINDLING COMES BEFORE HEALTH AT THIS CLUB!
Not a very welcoming place if you're not a member. I've been a few times to utilize the rock climbing gym on the roof and having to engage with the front desk staff before walking through there are the worst parts of my visits.
The best gym in New York City. If you like swimming it is the place for you... you can learn how to swim for free, if you are a member of the club.
Rock climbing great activity. The kids loved it. Great place for a small kids party. Activity leaders are terrific.
My husband and I are both members and love it. The pool is the best part! I love the instructors for their aqua classes! Their yoga class is nice too.
My favorite gym in the city so far. Good student rate with an NYU affiliation, great perks. Dry sauna, steam room, pool, hot tub, climbing gym, and unlimited classes. I couldn't use all the things I have access to if I tried. Great deal, awesome location.
A variety of classes with a down to earth crowd and teachers. Rock climbing gym and swimming pool also add to get alternatives.
I am member for many years and considering to stop my membership. Cause they keep closing the gym for 2 weeks just to change lobby and I had to pay for these weeks.How you can keep changing what is already have been changed last year. They should change showers and what it really needs to be change. Stuff is very rude lately. Lifeguards don't really do their job , usually they just stand and talking with each other. One time I got screamed by other member of this gym to solve this problem I asked a lifeguard to help me but no one helped me , he seemed careless. I don't feel safe in this gym anymore. I am very sad what happened with my favorite gym. I am member more than 6 years. I keep closing my eyes on everything but can't take it anymore. It's just not worth it. I come to the gym to relax but lately I leave the gym very stressful .
The life guard are amazing very nice people told me everything about the club nothing but positivity I recommend coming here .
I really like the equipment, everything is well maintained. The trainers are really helpful and will answer any questions. In the summer, the roof deck is fantastic. It's not glamorous but the pool is so nice.
For an inner Manhattan gym, the price is competitive. Usually a long wait for the pool. Classes are mainly offered during daytime, not many after work options. Cardio equipment is new and kept updated.
This gym is a scam. They are closed for the renovation for two weeks and still charging the same monthly fee to their members.
Great place. Very big. Equipment is in good condition, a lot of options available. Tbe pool and the deck are nice additions.
