Why pay $100s of dollars for a high end gym when you can get everything you need here for $150 for the year. Great facility with a pool and access to all other NYC Parks and Recs facilities

Compass

Swim in a six-lane pool, shoot hoops, or spike on the volleyball courts at the neighborhood gym . Fitness rooms, dance studios , and classes are available for members or one-time users.

Redwan Mousline

Price are really cheap for mh, but be aware that this comes with the cost. Men lockers are not super clean , so if you are a bacteria freak this might not be for you. Bring your flip-flops????

Bryant Balatbat

Great gym with friendly patrons. $75 for 6 months. The quality of the equipment matches the cheap price. No squat racks here.

My 6pm Tuesday yogis: if you get to the 5th floor room before me ask next door for the duty staff to open the door and equip room. 20 students today.

Check the website frequently for the changing adult lap swim house. Otherwise, this is a gem for the price.
