I miss this gym. It’s the best body building gym in NYC for real. My only complaints are the old lockers in the locker room that are jammed, old, and rusted and the benches by the dumbells are scattered, tight and the benches are wack

Rock solid gym. Traveling in NYC, and this gym has plenty of space and equipment for a great powerlifting/bodybuilding/strength/conditioning training session. Friendly staff and customers.

As an Indepent Fitness Trainer, this is a great place to train clients. Centrally located, reasonable fees, and well equipped.

I’ve trained in this location since the ‘90s when it was called Better Bodies Gym.Excellent array of equipment and the staff is great!If you need help from weight management to resistant training, your go to trainer is Leo, “hands down”!

Excellent gym for serious lifting — there’s a wide variety of equipment, plenty of squat racks, and the DBs go up to 150lbs. I love the hack squat and all of the Hammer Strength machines.I highly recommend training here!

Complete body is a wonderful gym with organized, thoughtful, and friendly staff. I joined the gym recently having been referred to train with the fabulous Marcella. I’ve played sports and exercised seriously my entire life and somehow find myself learning something new about my body and strength every time I train with her. Marcella finds a way to blend innovation into the most classic of movements. At Complete Body, I feel safe, sexy, and psyched to challenge myself with every workout.

This gym is like my second home for many many years and more to come!!

I loveeeeee the options but I wish the offerings would be more current- for example cleaner protein options and additives like spirulina and chlorophyll... things to really push interest. However, the staff is polite, quick, and the ease of being right above the gym really wins. The juices and shakes are also very decently priced for what you get in my opinion! Worth it for a quick afternoon pick-me-up!

This gym is definitely a throwback, but with SUCH a cool vibe. Im always super impressed with the variety of equipment and how clean they keep the gym constantly. I started going to Complete Body because my trainer, Marcela, trains her clients here. Shes the best trainer in New York City...and Ive had a few, even from Equinox. Nothing compares! Every time I visit the gym, the staff are so nice and theyre doing a GREAT job with COVID protocol. I feel safe here. Its THE ultimate gym to join if youre looking for body building!

Thank you to Erving at the front desk for an outstanding customer service. Highly recommended.

One of my fave gyms w my fave trainer, Marcella. She pushes me like none other and the gym itself helps make that happen. It’s a perfect no frills, get-it-done gym. The old school equipment can’t be found anywhere else and the energy there is great for those looking to lift hard. They also keep it clean and have done really great job spacing out equipment to allow for social distancing. Complete Body, thank u!

19th street gym is adequate but its mostly trainers with their clients who hop from machine to machine and sometimes leave the gym a mess. Staff is nice, the only thing Im frustrated with is they will charge you an additional month when you end your month to month contract.

If you like the history and atmosphere of real bodybuilding and be motivated by talking, asking for advice and looking at pro athletes and clients achievements - this gym is certainly for you.

Great no frills gym

CompleteBody 19th Street has some of the best staff in NYC. Constantly ready to help and assist with COVID Check Ins and procedures.One trainer, Marcella, is the best in the business. Cleaning machines left and right to insure client safety. Creating communities between trainer and clients for the entire gym. No one works as hard as her, and the gym knows that.This is the best place to lift in 2020!

I first went to workout with Marcella Melo. The gym is solid, has 1-2 of every piece of equipment known to man, but Marcella is a gym wizard. She can give you a transformational workout and knows exactly how hard to push you for a break through. I cant recommend working out with Marcella highly enough.

Great gym. 1st floor has smoothies, protein shakes and other things. Downstairs is the gym . The trainers are awesome.

Old fashioned workout gym for people serious about working out. None of the frills and lights

Easily the best gym in NYC.

The trainers in this Gym are the Gym. They truly make the difference between a place to work out the stress of life and a place to get fit, keep health and life a full life. Its a hands down no frills place where some of the machines may not be state of the art but it’s all you need, in fact its all youll ever need. Theres no equipment thats going to work out for you. I strongly recommend this Gym.

I’ve tried a LOT of different gyms here in NYC, and this is by far the best and most welcoming club. Cafe always has good food on the go or freshly prepared. Great amenities, great staff. Only con I’d say is, I wish there were more locations here in NYC)

Classic, Old School, HardCore Gym

The best trainers. No frills. Machines may not be the newest but it’s all you need. The trainers and members give the right inspiration unlike the trendy corporate gyms!

Awesome local gym. Great selection of equipment. (Some new some older). The trainer, Vincent was a great help in getting me started.

I was really intimidated the first time I had my training session. It is a real bodybuilders gym...and I am not a bodybuilder. However, from the moment I walked in everyone was really nice and so supportive. The really help you stay motivated. Not only does my trainer Thaddeus Harvey make me work extra hard during my sessions. Everyone in the gym is always giving great advice to stay on track! There is a mens and womens locker room with showers and kept very clean. The staff is really great as well. It gets really crowded during holidays, after work etc. but you can always find a machine if you are not working with any of the trainers.

The juices at the complete body are delicious. Raymond provides the clients with high end hospitality and service.

I used to go to this gym and so loved it and recommended to my friends because all trainers were reputable and awesome!! One of those friends I recommended this gym too a while back just got ripped off by a trainer called Kareem Joshua. He received $1040 for 15 sessions in advance and is unwilling to provide service or even refund the money. To top it all, he has threatened my friend with a defamation and harassment law suit. I cant believe this gym allows people like Mr Joshua to work there and take advantage of clients.

An Amazing Place to Train Hard and Stay Fit! Every one helps Every one! At Complete Body your more than just a customer your Family!Thanks Complete Body@Gwarrior777

Great place for dedicated fitness enthusiasts. This isnt just a fluff gym. People come here to train and work hard. Some of the equipment needs repair, but for the most part everything is in good condition.

THIS IS NOT A GYM FOR HEAVY LIFTERS. Friend was asked to leave this gym for lifting too much weight, after being given assurances when he started his membership that would be allowed to. If you are a serious body builder, power lifter, weight lifter, or other heavy weight heavy lifting individual, this is not the gym to go to. Particularly if you are planning to do deadlifts.N.B. Management noted that this was due partially to unstable structure to sustain impact of deadlifting, be advised.

Brilliant underground bodybuilding gym. Don’t go expecting saunas and swimming pools - go there expecting to work hard.

Now this gym has what you need! This location does not have the pool but it is still a good place to work out if you can do without it! There was another happening gym back in the day at this location which you can tell by the old workout pics on the wall. Cool.

Great gym! Hardcore equipment and a great bodybuilding environment. Highly recommended!!

I love this gym! Great equipment and excellent trainers, especially Jacques* Really good juices and plant-based energy from the juice station upstairs 😄

The gym of gyms. This is the place where trainers train. A lot of old school machines, great space. Look for Kevin from Naturally Intense training.

Friendly staff, great equipment, inspiration everywhere. Great choice for a good lift.

Dungeon gym with a suprisingly clean environment. Tons of equipment to get diesel! Many professional bodybuilders on hand to train you in the way of the iron culture. Come and get brolick here!

Great crowd. Bodybuilding culture. Aged equipment, the locker rooms need to be completely redone.

Love my trainer from this place! It can get a bit crowded.

A real gym. With weights. Where you can work out and use real traditional equipment. Its not old, its tried and true.You can get a day pass for $15.Dont be surprised to see a couple bodybuilders.

Excellent trainers, not the newest equipment - could use a bit of an update.

Great gym with a great staff!

Some of the best trainers in NYC call this place home! however, the gym is a little rough around the edges and due for a renovation and new equipment.

Great place to work out

Hottest gym and trainer hands down love it there

Look for Milovan Mika trainer if you want to have personal trainer one of the best fitness instructors actualy he is the best.Gym is great and big you will be amazed...

Nothing totally outstanding, but its an affordable place to grab a quick, healthy bite.

Great gym, thoughtful staff and a healthy cafe at the entrance.

The faculties themselves can seem a little cramped and overcrowded with older equipment, but that does not stop you from getting a good workout here. More specifically, Nick Ebners Integrative Fitness classes take place here, and anyone even remotely curious about gymnastics and its basics and fundamentals should check this class out. It can be a bit slow-paced but that is very intentional. You will not find an instructor as attentive to form and method as much as Nick is.

My friend got ripped off by one of the trainers here, Kareem Joshua. He asked for pre-payment for the month (15 sessions for $1040) then refused to respond when asked to schedule sessions. He said that my friend walked away and quit and the sessions were voided with no refund. Apparently this has happened several times to other customers as well. Kareem is threatening through texts and emails to sue my friend for harassment and defamation of character if my friend reports him, and my friend has had to switch gyms to avoid him.

It has everything you need to work out and the staff was very pleasant to me.

Very nice gym to work out and juice bar is great!

If you are serious about training. This is the last real gym left in Manhattan.

Nice variety of weightlifting equipment

Bodybuilding temple. Serious iron gym without any BS, yet surprisingly welcoming to anyone. Improvement over the old 19th Street gym.

Great space for mostly free weight workouts

Ok gym with most of the stuff you need for workout

Very nice spot..

Best gym in NYC

Not really a cardio gym.

This is where Ill lose all my weight at

Try once
