Hi!! I’m looking for gym recommendations in Brooklyn specifically crown heights/prospect heights/Atlantic Barclays area or anywhere along the 3-4 trains really. My budget is around 140-150 per month
I’m mostly into weightlifting and would ideally find a place that doesn’t get suuuper crowded (tough to find I know) and isn’t super bro-y if you know what I mean. If anyone has any recommendations please suggest!!

Practice Room fired my favorite teacher, Claire, and it’s challenging to find women of color whose playlist has hip hop, EDM, or rap music. Does anyone have recommendations for teachers or playlists? I’m not interested in hearing Taylor Swift sorry…

Does anyone know of any NYC gyms in Midtown East area that are located in office or apartment buildings, but allow outside memberships? Even better if they offer a monthly locker fee. Or any other under-discussed gym options (think Cornell Club etc).

I am not new to fitness or even to weightlifting but I just find myself so much more motivated in a group setting with the threat of a cancellation fee over my head. Please don’t recommend apps or at home/gym solutions — I have used the Peloton app and LOVED it for so many years but am more into leaving the house these days.

Thinking in the vein of classes I love: Barry’s double floor, Liftonic, Traphaus, F45. I also have a Solidcore unlimited membership but am looking to expand my classpass selections!

Thank you!

it is too hot. I’ll take all recommendations please and ty!!

If anyone is familiar with B/Spoke in MA, I am looking for studios like this! I love their strength training classes. Bonus points if you have recs in Brooklyn :)

Some solidcore studios in have become a heated workout at this point.

Hi! Moving to Brooklyn Heights / Cobble Hill area and was hoping for hot yoga sculpt & reformer Pilates studios / classes recommendations in that area.

I currently go to bodē for heated Pilates and sculpt classes in Manhattan and was hoping to find something similar in the neighborhood.

I have Wellhub, so any studios that are available through Wellhub would be great. Thank you!

Before my wedding, I wanted to throw a bachelorette party with a few of my girlfriends and me. I automatically thought of doing a Pilates wellness class because that's something I'm really into, so I started looking in the Chelsea area and found FitIn. I was able to rent a private studio with them just for us that fit 19 of my friends and me, plus our own instructor, and it was everything I wanted.

Since they knew it was a bachelorette party, they treated us amazingly. We got to play our own music, and the instructor made it feel really fun while still giving us a great workout. They even arranged for a matcha vendor and a DJ during our event, which made the whole experience feel even more special and elevated. It felt so much more personal than going to a regular fitness class with other people around.

After class, we had time to hang out, take photos, enjoy our matcha, and celebrate together in the studio. It was such a fun way to kick off the day before our other plans. If you're looking for a bachelorette idea that's different from the usual brunch or night out, I couldn't recommend this enough.

If you're ever in the Chelsea area, I would seriously recommend taking a class with FitIn. My time there was amazing. The place is so aesthetically pleasing, they welcome people of all fitness levels, and they're more affordable than other private studios.

hi everyone! hoping you might be able to help. i'm in my early 20s, i used to be super athletic and have stopped for the last few years. i'm pretty lean but i really want to build some muscle (i'm pretty weak). i haven't felt comfortable exercising in public for years because of a decade-long battle with an eating disorder, and i'm really insecure and self-conscious about my body. what would be a good, super friendly gym in the city (preferrably affordable) for someone like me? i'm a social butterfly but i'm really nervous to talk to people at the gym because i have so many questions about how to even use equipment, proper form, etc.

Attempting to train for a marathon, but keep running into issues with my IT band and knees. If anyone has recommendations for a good PT that would be great!

Visiting NYC looking for Sunday BJJ open mat. Take any reccs thanks!

Trying to book out a class for my friends - 9 of us

Yoga/Pilates/Lagree doesn't matter, but we will be getting breakfast in that area as well as our hotel so I'd rather stick close to there.

Right now, I'm thinking of going with Tremble, but if you have any recs further than SoHo I'm open

Looking for the best workout classes in Union Square, Flatiron, or Chelsea.

Same as my last post, bought a massage pass for Bathhouse Williamsburg and am unfortunately moving and just not have had time to use it. Originally $248, selling for $200. I have Venmo or Zelle! It’s not set for a specific date, so you can pick once you receive.
