The Gym Project

This week I visited the 14th Street Y
344 East 14th Street, New York, NY, 10003 (on First Avenue)
212 780 0800

This small and cosy gym is more of a gym within a local community center, and has nothing to do with luxury. Very few machines for you to exercise and offers on average six exercise classes a day. I did the Lunch Crunch Pilates which was a challenging, intermediate level pilates class.

Facilities: 5/10. Very basic. Two small exercise studios, small gymnasium with very few machines and average cleanness changing room. Towels are not provided. So get you own towel and lock.
