Jeffrey Zeldman: Support your local small business! Immaculate Kip's Bay gym for serious training. Always clean and in great working condition, never overcrowded. Top freelance personal trainers work here.
Kim B.: Water lounge ($50 for 3 hours or free with a $100+ service) is fabulous, beautiful and super clean. I love the scents in the sauna and steam room.

The Corcoran Group: During the summer, use of the outdoor pools is free. To use the indoor pool, you need a membership. Everything is clean, relaxing, spacious and modern.

Jeffrey Zeldman: Small, clean, private rooms, rentable by the hour, are great for one-on-one yoga and restorative training. Sweet alternative to crowded, noisy gyms!
Jeffrey Zeldman: Loved this place when it was Club H: Immaculate, well appointed, tasteful, modern. Once Crunch bought it, it became a crowded Zumba factory. Okay if that's your thing.

Riyeon Kim: Beginer 2 is def not a beginner class. If you really want to start from beginning level, start with Jessica's class. It seems like very popular, so you can't attend her class with Groupon deal.

Irina Perfect: Monday evening yoga class with Melinda Abbott makes me cry. But yet I'm coming back for more! She is an amazing instructor. Very challenging, with great energy. Real professional.
Ranu Rajkarnikar: Great gym in the area. Take Chris' conditioning class and you'll be sore. Lots of TRX expertise here too. They're on Classpass and it's a great deal for a small group class.
Kristine Yapp: Core Fusion is one of my favorite classes in the city! One of their smallest locations but at least you know this way the instructor pays attention to you.

ClassPass: These classes are intense! But, you are rewarded for your hard work: beautiful facilities, free water and snacks, amazing teachers. Try a class through the Classtivity Passport. http://bit.ly/Z336QU
Honghui Yu: As someone who thinks running is boring, I unexpectedly enjoyed the High 45 class. Class is very structured and instructors are motivating. Facilities seem very clean.
Sara Soto: So many classes (almost every 20 minutes!), great coaches, and best of all: showers & towels!! That means I can sneak out for a WOD during lunch. Despite its size, still feels like a small community.

Genevieve Ascencio: An authentic boxing gym (smells that way too!) where people take workouts very seriously. Trainers are knowledgeable. I did the unlimited monthly and if you go 3-4 times a week, it's worth it.
Adam Cerny: This space is so calming and soothes your soul - truly! Staff is amazing & Kim Love Muse holds workshops & readings here. Check her out - http://www.kimlovemuse.com/ Can't wait to try aerial yoga!
