I have been to this location before and it definitely has its pros and cons. Let's start with pros, shall we?
Pros: it is all one level. I love gyms that are only one level. Also has plenty of sunlight in the entire facility. This location has a nice free weight area that overlooks Chelsea (always fun to people watch) and has 3 studios: a group class studio, cycling, and boxing (give me a "RANDOM!"). There is a lot of cardio relative to the size of the gym, and the locker room is large - complete with a steam room. Plenty of showers...uh...I'm running out of pros...the people here are attractive and usually always fit.
Cons: tiny stretching area, everyone is on the prowl to get laid (pro perhaps? that's a gray area), and the locker rooms are gross. I mean...gross gross. I hate showering here cause people usually keep their curtain half open as an "invitation" and I refuse to go in the steam room; I feel like I don't need to elaborate on why.
This Chelsea staple isn't all bad, but is certainly not my preferred place to work out. A very gay location (and roid rage runs rampant (hey o- alliteration!)) it is a little too skeevy for me; and I'm pretty skeevy.
My grade: B
