About The Forum Athletic Club

The Forum Athletic Club is a popular destination, with a small but busy space that can be overwhelming at times. The atmosphere is lively, with loud music playing during tours and classes. While the equipment is great, there are some drawbacks to consider. The lights may be turned off briefly before closing, which can be a safety concern. Additionally, the rooms for classes have turf that can be sticky and wet, and the equipment may not be fully cleaned after use. However, the instructors are attentive and knowledgeable, and the gym has a fun and welcoming atmosphere. It's worth noting that members are expected to bring their own lock for lockers and a mat and towel for hygiene purposes.

3.5 stars. Affordable 2 floor gym with all the equipment you need. Mainly chose this gym because it's the only one I can walk to.

Docking some stars because the wifi & cell signal is horrible. They have a gym wifi network but I've never gotten it to work. So I have to log in to Ponce City Market Wifi Every time - it's a pain because you have to enter your email and it takes a minute. And it doesn't work in some parts of the gym so I have to reconnect ~2x per workout.

I tend to avoid the 430-7pm range, if you are trying to lift it's going to be crowded. They have a lot of equipment so you could probably figure out a workout in this time frame if you're flexible....read full review

I was genuinely shocked by how well trained the staff is considering how young they are. The music and atmosphere set this place apart from most gyms I’ve been to the vibe was great. Overall 10/10

It's a pretty good gym with a few downsides. They should get more than one fly machine and a couple barbell bench press racks. There are no calf extension or ab machines. And they BLAST music so loud you can't even hear what's on your headphones.
