I came to Drive 495 to experience cryotherapy. The gym is intimate and "yuppie" It is located on the 2nd floor of a multi purpose building Ruby, the super sweet employee, assisted me during the therapy session. While in the tank, wear your undergarments and remove all jewelry from the neck down.They offer insulated socks, shoes, and gloves to wear while in the tank. There are three different levels offered at Drive 495. Level one is set at -140° and the highest is at -250°. I chose level one and stood in the tank for three teeth shattering, skin tingling, too freaking cold minutes. The employee will stay with you the whole time, so if you freak out after a minute, he/she will pull you out. Try to get there early to get a spot in front of the building! As far as going back to try cryotherapy, ehh! I did it and it was cool to experience. Everyone should try at least once, especially if you have a Groupon...
Read moreI have taken or been to practically every class and studio New York City has to offer and Drive495 is by far my favorite place to go. The quality of people and energy in there is uncomparable. The trainers are highly qualified and really cater to each individuals needs. They know how to train clients safely while pushing them to go farther then they think they can. I was a member of equinox for three years and really never thought I would ever cancel my membership until I went here.. I am so fortunate to have found Drive495 and would highly recommend it to everyone I know. I never thought I would be excited to go to the gym until I came here because they become family. Because of the Drive team I am in the best shape of my life not only physically but mentally. Hands down 5 stars...
