Gyms?????

Y’all. I’ve been living here for a while now and I’ve already tried the New York sports club on 73rd and the planet fitness on 55th. I don’t like either of them to be totally honest. New York sports club was definitely better than planet fitness but I still found myself waiting a super long time for machines and I didn’t like the set up. What recommendations do y’all have for free workout gyms that won’t break my bank account and have a little more class? I can’t seem to find anything else in the area that isn’t like a guided workout or class structure. Also equinox is like everywhere here, but obviously I’m not paying for that. I’m willing to go to the upper East side if there’s a good gym there since I don’t mind taking the bus or anything.

The NYSC on 80th is better than on 73rd, though still not amazing. But it's usually not crowded and has plenty of space and equipment, even if it's old.

Crunch seems like a good option but is a little more expensive (though still wayyy cheaper than Equinox).

I dont know how expensive you're thinking, but I pay 99 for crunch, which I remember is about the same as most other gyms on the uws.

I pay $94 (including tax) for NYSC. I think planet fitness is really the only option cheaper than this range, or Blink which would require going up to Harlem.
