DARO'S EXTREME FITNESS — Attraction in New York

The last and only "Real" Gym left in the Bronx. Daro's Gym is an Old School, Hardcore Gym and You'll love it!

"They" haven't updated the photos here on Google--most are from the "old location", which was much bigger, but Daro's gym is still a darn good gym. If you are in the Bronx and need a place to train, you will like Daro's Gym. It's worth your business!

Daro's Gym has a lot of good equipment: lots of free weights, good quality benches, nice barbell selection, heavy Dumbbells (160 lbs, I think? maybe heavier...) and a real nice selection of machines. The Leg machines are real nice at Daro; and it can really help you work around an injury, or just trying to get some nice shape to your body. Daro has it all.

People at Daro's Gym are real polite, quite and just do their thing--no nonsense and I like that. Come in, workout, and leave.

I took a star off because when I go in at my time to train (afternoon), the cleaning man uses this really strong smelling chemical that messes up my breathing while I work out. Not his fault--he has to do his job--but it really burns my throat and nose.

Parking is real bad here... it is what it is. It's near a lot of mechanic shops who take-up everything. No spots, no nothing. So... you gotta commute by train or just walk/bike it.

4/5 stars A real good gym in the...

PROS:

-10 dollars for a walk-in/day pass -Very affordable membership deals -Traditional, hardcore, body building gym -Small but big enough -Lots of equipment -Friendly staff

Cons: -The locker room situation is annoying. Up some very tiny steps and the lockers aren't good

-The photos of the last gym should be taken off. Because I used to go to the old location and prior to going I spoke with someone about the wrestling ring, just to get there and have NO wrestling ring. So....

-If you're looking to use the wrestling ring or use the heavy bags, ITS NO LONGER HERE at the new location. Again, there's no wrestling ring or heavy bags at the new location.

Overall not a bad gym if you're looking to get yoked for a very affordable price but don't expect anything fancy whatsoever. This is a VERY old school kind of gym. You're not going to see some of the amenities that the newer gyms...

Alright so here’s the thing with this gym. Is a neighborhood gem. Of course is a bit “expensive” compared to big name brand gyms like Blink or PF but if you are looking for a chill place that has every machine you need plus a great deal of free weights, this is your place. Also has lots of space and pull-up bars for calisthenics. Cardio is your regular treadmills , bikes, and elliptical. Maybe not the “nicest” gym but is a great gym nonetheless for pumping iron or just anyone trying to get fit. People here are friendly and will never put you down but help you instead. Great gym in my opinion been going for years and never let me...
