NYU 404 Fitness — Local services in New York

Just an ok gym. I workout 6 days a week and while I am at NYU for summer semesters, I go here. The basement is ridiculously hot (mirrors fog up with sweat) and not always available for workouts. The bikes on the main level that work for cycling style work are poorly adjusted and not maintained (pedals lock up, etc). You are "not allowed" to take free weights into other areas, so circuits (IE; a chest circuit with a presses AND push-ups) are out of the question. To be quite frank, men hog the weights area/machines and frequently stand around talking to their friends and taking up space instead of actually using the equipment and room you are trying to access. Why is there a time limit on cardio machines, yet this is commonplace? The hours aren't great and the staff is sometimes very kind, sometimes unhelpful, and at worst, rude. We pay a LOT for college.

The first time I went to this gym there was a man who went around screaming that they were closing half an hour earlier. They don't even have an intercom system to tell you. I did not believe him and I thought he was someone having a manic episode like many people in the subways do at NYC. However within 20 mins I realized he actually works there and was kicking us out. They didn't even give me time to stretch even when there was an extra 30 mins before they actually lock the doors.. it...

I am a senior in undergrad at NYU. Except one of the four years, 404 was shut down due to Covid. I am here like four times a week. 404 has been an amazing gym although for some reason it has got more crowded since Covid. I guess NYU somehow has been getting more students. The staff here is mainly students who are friendly and helpful. Considering the gym is located in Manhattan, it’s a relatively big gym. Everything is clean. Btw they always have problems with water fountains, which sometimes run water slowly or even don’t...
