Reviews
Yelpers give various New York Sports Club branches solid 3.5- to five-star ratings. Five Insider Pagers give the Wall Street and East 31st Street locations four stars:
- NYSC provides a clean and friendly workout environment. – richard a., Insider Pages
- All their staff are [sic] friendly which I like as a beginner in the gym. All is not sales talk. The trainer I have is very critical in showing me the right form before performing exercises. – John M., Insider Pages
- ...there are lots of little areas for various specific purposes, the music is soft and mellow, and the employees are always right there for you if and when you need them but never ever invasive or imposing, and most importantly (as a result of all the aforementioned reasons) I am very comfortable here. – David L., Yelp
Groupon Says
Impersonal Trainers
One of the best parts about utilizing a personal trainer is the relationship you’ll forge with someone attentive to your concerns and genuinely interested in your well-being. Unfortunately, not all gyms offer empathetic trainers. NY Sports Club's competitor, Disdainful Fitness, employs a largely volunteer staff of highly distracted trainers who appear to have other things they’d rather be doing. Here are a few quotes we overheard:
- “You can do it, uh…I want to say Marshall? You can do it, Marshall. Is it Mark? Marshall? Wait, was it Lewis?”
- “Hm? Oh, yeah, you can put that weight down. Sorry, I was checking out this interview with Feist. She seems pretty cool. Do you think she likes guys who work in gyms?”
- “Yeah, I don’t know. It’s like, if I go to grad school, am I going because I’m pursuing a goal, or is Dennis putting off his life again because Dennis doesn’t know who Dennis wants to be, you know? Hey, dude, are you breathing? Oh, snap.”
