BeFitNYC — Local services in New York

i joined because it's close to my apartment. on my very first day i was discriminated against by another gym because i have a service animal. upon signing up, i was told this would happily be accommodated. this gym allows other gym members to harass people with service animals and they did nothing to fix the situation. they just kept telling me to exile myself in another room instead of use the machine i wanted to use. they allow toxic white male members to boss around female members who aren't even doing anything wrong.

If you're looking for a low-key, friendly environment, but with phenomenal quality of classes, then this...

Windows open,hepa filters etc etc. I am grateful to have found this community. The gym as I said is immaculate and there are sufficient weights and machines for my needs. While I do not tend to take classes I am told they are excellent. The space for classes is beautifully sunlit and the weight room has ample room. The gym is rarely crowded and is a safe space for me. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a friendly neighborhood gym. I rarely write...
