PAUL, MARKO AND FRONT DESK make this place special! I might be one of the oldest members here but I feel very much at home! Their concern about your health is genuine and you are not just a number. I feel like I am not just going to a gym but I am going to MY GYM. MAYBE we are all the U in Gym U. Last year I joined because this is a neighborhood gym. Why should I walk blocks especially in bad weather when we have GYM U right here on 23rd. It’s a CHELSEA ICON. It’s Chelsea but with people from all over the city come here- why? This gym has heart.

I’ve been at Gym U for about 6 months and I love it! The machines are amazing - never seen so many Panatta in one place. The vibe is awesome, feels like home, and the staff actually know you. Definitely not your usual corporate gym. Not cheap, but if it were, everyone in NYC would be here. Totally recommend!
