76th and Broadway

I walked by the entrance 3 or 4 times circling the block.  I looked up the address online thinking somehow it was off by a block.  I re-checked the official website thinking the location had closed and I didn't realize it...finally I found it.  The photo reflects ALL of the signage up for this location and the amount of "advertising space" reflects proportionally the amount of space inside.

This must be the smallest NYSC in the city.  Must.  Simply one floor, one studio, and barely any workout equipment.  The studio doubles as a cycling studio (the spin bikes pushed to the side) and the only machines offered were the X-press line and two more.  No cable fly.  No dumbells higher than 70lbs or so.  No calf machine...just the X-press line and a Smith press, practically.

There were a number of different cardio machines, most of which faced into the studio.  A tiny stretching area for 3 people off to the side and some medicine balls were available.  Granted the space was bright and clean but it just felt like a "building gym;" you know, the gyms they put in a small hotel or a nice apartment building.  Not a NYSC.

The locker room was OK - fine temperature, clean for the most part.  Small, of course (one urinal, one stall), and no sauna or steam room.  There were two shower stalls and they were glass...which means they were completely see-through.  Even though there was no one in the locker room at all when I was there, I just don't like the whole "community" feel of a see-through shower.  It's not Chelsea for heaven's sake!

My grade: C
