About Chelsea Piers Fitness
Chelsea Piers Fitness in Downtown Brooklyn offers a premier fitness experience that redefines the traditional gym. The facility features a 75-foot indoor pool, multiple studios for group fitness classes, and indoor turf for cross-training. Members can also access cardio and weight training equipment, personal training services, and luxurious locker rooms with a sauna and steam room. The gym is praised for its exceptional cleanliness, equipment availability, and thoughtful design. The staff is friendly and eager to provide excellent customer service. While the membership cost is significant, it is considered worth the price given the overwhelming number of amenities and class offerings available. Customers highlight the variety of high-quality fitness classes, the abundance of squat racks and deadlift platforms, and the convenience of the on-site cafe and co-working space. The gym is described as a fantastic option, providing an experience that is hard to match even at higher-priced alternatives in the area. However, some members have expressed disappointment with the temperature of the pool and the inconsistent availability of amenities like the sauna and steam room.
No doubt this is a beautiful, clean, inviting gym and the staff, including a few life guards whom I've gotten to know, are friendly and helpful. But if you love to swim and you think since you're paying a small fortune every month, this place will provide you with a barely comfortable temperature and fairly clean water, you may be terribly disappointed. From chiseled athletes to sprightly grandmas that I've conversed with in the matter - just to make sure I'm not delusional - everyone agrees: it’s freezing. Yet the gym insists it’s “within regulatory standards” — which really means “just enough to avoid litigation.” Despite numerous polite complaints from paying members, management remains impressively committed to doing the absolute bare minimum. But if you're okay with that, enjoy this beautiful oasis in the city!
love the place very clean
1st class all the way. Much better than anything comparable in the neighborhood. My personal trainer is great. Nice atmosphere and large comfortable lounge.
