Beautiful new Chelsea Piers location! The cafe and remote working area is grand and library like, with high ceilings and wooden furniture. Downstairs, the locker rooms are grand and spacious, with towels and amenities at every corner. Saw the sauna, steam room, and ice baths. Another floor down, you’re met with a double height turf area for stretching and functional training. Across are multiple full length cable machines. On the same floor are the free weights, with multiple sets and several benches. The area felt spacious even when multiple benches were in use. Around the free weight area are multiple squat racks that are nicely spaced out. There’s also dedicated ab areas with slant boards which is nice - often times they’re awkwardly placed with the free weights in gyms. The cardio and weight cable machines are on the 2nd floor. Cardio machines are all the latest models with wide touch screens and wireless phone charging. The weight cable machines are all new but in a corner and that area probably has the least attention to detail, but maybe could be livened up in the future. My favorite area was the turf on the 2nd floor. The views are amazing and I found myself less on my phone between sets and instead watching the yellow cabs and hustle bustle of the city below. There’s several bench boxes in this area, which are adjustable and have dumbbell sets up to 30 lb neatly stored on the sides. Overall, it stands up strong with the original Chelsea location in terms of size, quantity of equipment, and overall feel good energy inside. It’s high end with luxurious details but still feels like a gym, which is a balance not every luxury gym in NY manages to pull off. Overall, it lives up to the Chelsea Piers name and is well worth...
Read moreHuge facility that caters to all people of all fitness levels! The amenities offered here are top notch compared to other facilities in NYC. Honestly not worrying about bringing a lock already was a great start for my time at this gym.
There's a lot of stuff included in the membership, but the highlights certainly are: Private Work booths, café, large working/study area, quiet zone, sauna, steam rooms, cold plunges (contrast therapy), post shower toiletries, 4 floors- each with their own focuses on various training disciplines, and a physical connection to the 23rd street subway station.
Besides the long list of services they offer here, one of my checkpoints is if the gym and staff has a good vibe or not. I'm happy to say that the people here are great! So far fellow members are quite friendly and the staff are a joy to talk to. The maintenance staff are also no joke, they refill the hand towels, shower towels, bathrobes with utmost proficiency. I don't think I ever saw a wet area that wasn't cleaned almost immediately.
Also shout out to Coach Roland for making the fitness journey not as intimidating and his in-depth explanations of the gym's capabilities!
TL;DR: Great environment for post gym recovery, vibes, trainers, and enough amenities where you can spend a whole work day...
Read moreI’ve been a member for almost a year and I love this gym! I love the staff at the front desk for both locations, Flat iron and Chelsea. Chelsea is where I started so it feels more like home. I take advantage of the classes offered. Most teachers do their best to remember your name and help you out through your workout. Amenities are great! The only location that’s had issues is tge Flat iron location which the company tries to fix right away. Love it so much I’ve had 4 friends sign up.
My only issues have been with the corporate team. The moment I signed up I was given false information and no clarification until 3 months later.(wont get into it) I was promised referral a referral credit after my friend signed up. The credit should be in my account within “2 weeks” then, a month. After the month I waited a month and a half to be safe and nothing.
I then, just kept working out and tried again 3 months since signing up, again nothing! I texted the person that signed me up since he said reach out whenever. Nothing! Saw him the day after giving a tour and didn’t even say anything. I was told he’s no longer with the company. The same thing happened with my second referral I was told a month and didn’t get it. My real issue is just the lack of communication and proper...
