Cool gym. Clean. Lots of different equipment. Very well laid out (for a relatively small space). Staff was super friendly and helpful. Good atmosphere with lots of serious lifters. Masks are enforced. The day passes arent ridiculously expensive. Would definitely recommend and go back.

The environment and personnel are also impressive. Furthermore, if you do not have a personal trainer, general trainers can be very helpful. After each use, all of the machine is washed and sanitized. The sight and music energized me. This is the place where I got my body sculpted. The service was outstanding. Excellent help!

Beware of their summer special - It looks like an attractive deal but you won’t be given all the details!!I paid $207 up front to have access to the gym for the summer months in addition to 4 personal training sessions. Was never told about an expiration date on the sessions - now I’m forfeited out of what made me even decide to give this gym a shot.Also will not tell you that your summer special account will automatically roll into an expensive month to month enrollment starting in the fall. Now I’m stuck with paying for a gym that I never intended to pay for in the Fall - hence why I originally went with the summer special package …Also calling the gym, you’re met with terrible customer service as they couldn’t even pull up my account info or didn’t want to .. was also told that I probably already had my four personal training sessions???As if that is something I wouldn’t remember …All in all - would not recommend this gym unless you have money to simply give away and are into poor communication.

Awesome welcome and tour. Not as old school at all! Wanted to get involved with body building but after ayyempts yo conmect wiyh owner via 2 emails, 2 phone calls and message left with emoyees, the owner didnt follow up with communication. I went with a new gym on my block and it started with GREAT conmection with the owner. PS: Im used to the city but that street location is super sad with people suffering on the sidewalks.

Amazing gym in the heart of NYC! The owner is passion driven like no one Id ever seen before - you can tell his heart and soul has gone into this business. You wont find a gym like this anywhere else (unless he opens another one, hah!)

Not a bad gym ... but the staff constantly eat food at the front desk and in the hall smells of food all the time. it is not professional and interferes with practicing, because you constantly smell food!!! Please stop doing this . create a separate room for your staff so that they can dine comfortably and customers do not constantly smell food in the hall

I wanted to make this post to highlight @midcitygym because of its amazing hospitality, equipment. You guys, made me feel comfortable, welcome and right at home.

Great gym / experience. staff & owner are passionate and happy to help their customers.

Every weekend, I went to this gym for a workout. I was really pleased with the preparation that was led by a trained mentor. Im getting close to my weight-loss target. Thank you incredibly much!

I haven’t even joined yet and Dave at the front desk looked out for me! I was passing by looking for a weight training belt for purchase, they had none…as I was about to walk out he called me back and said he’ll give me one free of charge from the storage. More people need to be like this!

Called to see about a membership. Front desk woman were rude. Asked to speak to a manager who was even worse. Anthony I think his name was told me to go to planet fitness. What type of manager says that to a potential client ? This gym and the people that work there are terrible.

Nice gym, and refunded my no questions asked when a random charge appeared on my bill!

The place and staff are awesome. Even if you dont have a personal trainer the general trainers are very supportive. All the equipment is cleaned and sanitized after each use. The ambiance and music made me feel enthusiastic. I got my body shaped here. The service was exceptional. Five-star service!

My mother and I were quite pleased with our experience at this gym since we were well-cared for! The coaches were quite helpful and constantly made sure to check up on us!

I can’t thank the instructor enough for working with me at my level and giving me the motivation to keep trying on my own. She gives you the tools you already have like your own body and some simple weights. No need for a lot of gadgets at home. I will be back for a tune-up!

It’s not big, but reasonable price with good personal trainer. It’s a bit crowded in the evening.

Working out was my hubby! I chose this gym because my friend recommended this where she was also a regular customer. Indeed, I didnt get disappointed because the service here was great.

Great place to workout if youre into a REAL GYM! Place is super clean and everyone is respectful of each others space which is so important nowadays.Michelle and Vinny are awesome and make you feel at home.

This gym was very spacious and clean that I can freely move and do my work out. They had a lot of gym equipment that I can choose from and use. I had already enrolled in their session. Love it!

Great gym which has a good selection of weights and machines. Everything you need for your weightlifting needs. It is also conveniently located close to trains/buses in Midtown.

My personal trainer mr LUIS is amazing .The best gym ever .

An awesome place to get fit. 💯

THE spot in midtown for no-nonsense gym goers.~$400 for the year in the same city where other memberships cost $250+ for a month.Tons of equipment for proper weight training. Very friendly staff. Overall incredible value proposition.Hope it can reopen soon from the COVID-lockdown.

Great gym with everything you need for strength training and bodybuilding

I love this gym..it gives you the feel of being a really gritty, serious place for weight lifters without having that stale iron, dirty, chalk filled ambiance. The staff is nice and its located in the heart of midtown so its pretty accessible.

I took my first class and it was the Fit X Level 3. This was definitely the hardest workout class Ive taken, and it was by far the BEST. Justin was the trainer and he was amazing!!He did a great job at pushing me to do the best I could. I will definitely be coming back here because of his motivation and workouts. This is exactly what Ive been looking for since Ive been trying out different classes, and Ill be back here!As for the gym, it was very clean, had great equipment, nice locker rooms, and lots of really muscular people that helped motivate me (even though Im not trying to get as big as them, its still nice to see people working hard). Overall, great class with Justin, and an awesome environment!

Not the most glamorous gym in NYC but still a great find in my opinion. The membership for the gym or the tanning is some of the best I’ve found.

Cancelation policy is completely unfair and communication is poor.

Fantastic gym

No frills gym that still has everything you need. Towels not included but locker room is clean and showers have soap (no shampoo/conditioner). Staff are generally courteous. Members are there to workout, which is great. I never felt uncomfortable. Mornings aren’t too busy, not sure about other times of day.

This place is a historical gem full of pros and competitors in the world of body building. It’s not the prettiest, but the staff are great and the atmosphere makes you want to train harder. Arnold Schwarzenegger used to train calves here and they still have his machine that you can use!

Great old school gym, really enjoyed my visit. Lot’s of famous bodybuilders etc have trained there which is cool. Couldn’t give it 5 stars as I feel $25 for a day pass is a bit steep.

Incredible location, equipment, environment, staff, and members. Had a great time here. Possibly the greatest bodybuilder gym in Manhattan.I did a walk in with my wife. We had a great time. Staff and members engaged us and showed us some of the gems of the gym. Will be back!!

Great workout with very pleasant staff. Dean was awesome. Definitely will be taking his class again.

I was a member of Club One for a long time before it became Fitness SF. Fitness SF is super -- friendly & helpful management, new equipment & great amenities. I am very happy here.

Ive been to many gyms within Manhattan. This is the one I like best. Has all the equipment for serious bodybuilding. The gym offers great value for the price. Great club-like atmosphere. The owner is always on site and there if you need him. I’ve found Alex at the front desk to be very friendly and informative. Im very satisfied. As for others who complain about cancellation policy, I dont know any gym that Ive had membership where you could cancel. Check out this gym. Its worth the money!

I was a member here for about two years. Its reasonably priced but not particularly clean and the equipment (such as the tread mills and leg extension) is in a general state of disrepair. It gets really crowded after work, which is obviously the case at most gyms in this city, but there arent many overwhelming positives. If youre in the area then it could be a good value option in terms of gyms. I definitely wouldnt be crossing neighborhoods to get to Mid City though.Definitely negotiate your rate if you do sign up, they basically just make up numbers so dont agree to the first one.

Management is incredibly non-responsive to the point where I feel I was scammed. I signed up but cancelled within the 3 days (in the gym), but desk staff told me to send an email cancellation instead. I wasnt refunded and tried for months to engage them via email, phone, and in-person visits. Still have yet to receive my refund.

#1 bodybuilding gym in Manhattan. Barbell dungeon that gets busy after work, but amazing facilities if youre chasing the pump. Bow down and worship at the iron temple!

Fantastic gym. No bs atmosphere. Everyone is there to train. Friendly staff. Great equipment. Had a blast. What every gym should aspire to be.

Gym is one of the best clubs I’ve been to. QUICKLY switched clubs as soon as I discovered this little gym tucked away near Times Square.Owner does a great job of keeping a pulse on this place and is also a pleasure to do business with. Never too crowded or hard to find equipment, even during rush hours! Place is always clean and nothing is ever out of order because the gentlemen doing the upkeep takes pride in his work.Attitude is for regular gym goers that are usually full-time professionals. Neat section for those that want to practice powerlifting. Gym makes great use of their space and above else the price is fair.Highly recommend and this is coming from someone who’s moved over 3 times in the past two years and has been to at least 7 different clubs recently. MidCity Gym rocks, 5 stars.

Worst experience ever. They charged my card $300 after i left the gym and moved to a new city. The general manager (Adam Robert Karel) was not very responsive. Finally when i was able to get hold of him on phone, he was very rude and told me do what ever you want, i am not giving you a refund. His justification was that my membership was not cancelled and sent me a document that i did not sign, even though I went to the gym in person a month before moving out to make sure that my membership was cancelled and spoke with the same person who helped me signup. I talked with their financial department ABC financials who said that my account was inactive since Oct 3rd (3 months before these charges). Dont trust them with your credit cards. Wish i have read their yelp reviews, seems like there are lot of people who had similar experiences. Hope others can learn from my mistake and avoid similar experiences.

Highly recommend it. Absolutely THE place for serious trainers! You can find every machine you need here and they’re organized nicely. Love the place

All the equipment a serious weightlifter could want, from bumper plates to heavy dumbbells. Machines in excellent condition. Equal number of men and women. Heavy bag, boxes for plyometric jumps. Great gym atmosphere. I will come back(just visiting).

Worse gym I ever been in NYC .Equipment 7/10 not bad but not the best equipment if you are more professional .The worse part is that the gym is so disorganized. In order to find a pair of dumbbells you have to look around for 2-5 minutes ...This gym looks more like CrossFit place than a gym .I suggest you try it out at least few times before you decide to become a member and regret it after like I did !!!

Best gym Ive worked out at in NYC. Gym is clean and equipment is in good condition. Trainers are excellent. I recommend this gym to people into fitness and to NYC personal trainers, this is a great place to concentrate on your career.

I honnestly though the gym would be better. For a one day trial at 25$US, it was just an OK... For a gym that is supposed to have many famous bodybuilders that trained there, I think it miss charm and love. Its too average and nothing stands out for the fate of the ordinary.

I tried the class with a friend and I really liked it. The team was great in helping a newbie however I wont be back. I so out of shape and all these people look souch better then me its very intimidating. Good luck to those who keep it up.

Everything you need and it has a shower. I go before work between 6 and 730. Trainers available opens at 5 during week and 8 on weekends. Affordable. Great for anyone that works near or around Times Square

Bunch of thieves!!! Had my $1000 smart watch stolen after i left it unattended for about 20 minutes. I called in 20 minutes later and asked Alex at front desk to go check the tanning booth where i left it and he said it wasnt there. Fair enough because some other member could have taken it during that 20 min period. I was back in 40 minutes after i left and asked Alex to roll back cameras to see who might have gone into the booth after me and taken it. Thats where things got really fishy and dishonest. I was given full runaround why he couldnt roll back the camera feed etc. This issue could have been solved on the spot if they just looked over 20 minutes of camera feed yet they all refused to help me out. Had to call numerous times to managers and owners for them to check the cameras. After 10 days i was given the answer that next person who went in there was Alex at front desk as per my request and he did not see the watch there. Leaves me nothing but to conclude he took the watch. I knew the second he told me on the phone that watch is gone that i will never get it back however i wanted to have some conclusion at least who took it. I guess now i have the answer and hopefully management will do something about the fact that they have dishonest and unhelpful people working there at front desk.

Awesome Gym for hard-core bodybuilders. They have all the equipments to pump up your body. You will feel Arnold around.Prices are very good too.

Cheap and gets what you need done if youre self motivated and know what to do. I dont really enjoy coming here because of equipment not working or just too many people during busy times. What else do you expect from a no-frills gym though? If you have the funds definitely go somewhere else where you can get access to more amenities.Also they charge you $10 for an ID badge in case you lose it, a piece of small cheap plastic that costs .03 cents maximum, kinda sleazy.

Very good gym and trainers the members are extremely friendly too.

In town for the weekend and dropped in. This gym is amazing for anybody...but particularly if you are a bodybuilder. Anthony at the front desk was so friendly and welcoming and gave us a great deal on drop in plus protein shakes. The equipment is excellent and for a small(ish) gym...they have an amazing variety of equipment. People are extremely friendly and the facility is great...clean, nice changing rooms and spacious lockers available. Also, the protein shake bar/menu is so delicious. And, if you are on travel...they sell packets of high quality pre-workout and pump agents. They also sell Rich Pianas line of supplements (great stuff!) and bars which is not common to see in many gyms.

Great atmosphere. Would be even more amazing if they had a jacuzzi. Lots of super dedicated people here, including members.

Great old school meets new school bodybuilding club, but really its a gym anyone serious about their workout can get into. Clean club with a good staff of friendly people. Equipment is a combination of old school and new school.

Much like all of NY its a great place until it gets crowded. I would give it 5 stars if its peak times werent like a 530 train.

The trainers that work here are very inconsiderate for others. 10/29/19 @ 530pm kicked off only available flat barbell cuz trainer saving it for client thats not even there. 6:10pm kicked off open rower cuz trainer was doing circuits for the next 20 minutes with her client that involved the rower.

I have been a member here for some time now and I have to say this gym is the best. The staff is attentive and caring and they have all the workout equipment you need. I highly recommend!

I joined “Mid City Gym & Tanning” hoping to increase my private business as a personal trainer in NYC and thats exactly what happened. New York Personal Training is wonderful! All the staff there is incredibly good and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this Gym in NYC to all the personal trainers who are looking for a job.

Good gym. 5 squat racks and 2 bench racks. Gets a bit too crowded during rush hour. Nothing fancy about this place. Pretty old school. (Edit: They added 2 more bench press racks.)

Overall I liked the gym - but I have to say I am disappointed by the false marketing tactics that the places uses to get new members. They promise free months as an enticement to sign annual memberships, but then they do not honor these promotions and try to argue their way out of them after you are signed with them. Unfortunately, I want to support this gym, but their false marketing practices make it not worth the trouble.

If you want to lift heavy weights and get Thick. Solid. Tight. This is the place for you. I can crush watermelons between my pecs now

Longstanding gym in the middle of Manhattan. Good range of equipment, though perhaps the lifting area could do with a bit more space.

One of the best priced gym in Manhattan. Normally not overcrowded and usually a pleasant atmosphere. Have all the machines and space you need and very convenient located if you live in the midtown area

The best gym in Manhattan. Period

Good spot to get what you need from a workout. Free weights and all for an affordable price. Only downside I can say is, like any NYC gym, it does get packed a peak hours.

I had a great time and fantastic workout with a trainer named Miguel. They have fun and clean environment.

The gym looked good, although I didnt work out. The tanning booth was just awful. Theyre all stand ups, which I wouldnt mind if the bulbs were halfway decent. I went in with my fairest skin of the year for the full 10 minutes, and came out with zero result. Normally Im guaranteed a burn/tan that first time, but not even a tint of color from my maximum time spent in Booth #2. And for that, you get 2 stars.

One of the best workout fitness jams in the city it’s not like an equinox but it’s very much a bodybuilders jam it’s very good and has a lot of weights and it’s very comparable

Signed up my son for a summer membership, front desk was amazing and helpful

Can’t get any better for the price they offer. All sort of machines, weights, benches, crossfit area. Amazing gym at an amazing location.

One of last proper gyms in Manhattan. A great place for serious bodybuilders and lifters

This is a basic gym, clean and affordable. I like the friendly staff and the fact that they open early so I can get my workout done before 7:00am. If you are interested in tanning they offer this service too. The tanning lights in the stand ups at 42nd Street seem to be stronger.Some of the machines in both locations could be better maintained and the weights at 49th should be organized by employees.

Small gym but good people and best of all not a corporate chain. Even let my bona fide service dog in like ADA law says good members as well. Thanks Adam.

My 2nd home!! Great equipment and the vibes are good. Anthony is a great trainer!!!

Given that this gym had such a good reputation on here, I came here expecting there to be more equipment for the big three lifts (bench, deadlift, and squat).The gym has what you need, but the quality of the equipment is not that great... If you are an everyday Joe looking for an easy trip in gym, this is the place for you. If you do olympic or powerlifting, this is not for you.

Great gym really convenient location if youre on holiday near Times Square

A little grungy but has a good selection of weights, a nice open area for practicing olympic lifts, plenty of barbells and it isnt too busy if you can avoid the typical after work rush. Extremely good value for a gym in Manhattan.

The gym itself isnt bad, but to my dismay, I found that the cancellation process was dishonest and convoluted. The gym cant cancel your membership and sends you to a robot hotline, and then tell you that your account is past due of a significant balance that you must pay in order to cancel... Very dishonest. I recommend staying away.

Love this gym. Not too crowded considering the location even during peak hours. Good late openings.

Best gym Ive ever went to. Has everything I would ever need in a gym. If you like lifting heavy and hate planet fitness, this is 100% for you

The place for professionals with working out world champions. No showing off their outfit neophytes - life is heavy, this gym would give you the power to karry on

Best gym in the area! Prices is awesome! Friendly staff!

Great staff and training programs. Equipment is in great shape with plenty of variety for your goals.

TRAINING ENVIRONMENT IS JUST ADEQUATE NOT GREAT BUT NOT TERRIBLY EITHER. MY LOW RATING IS BECAUSE OF MID CITYS GYMS TOTALLY UNSCRUPULOUS BUSINESS PRACTICES. FIRST OFF NEVER SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THEM. THEY WILL SCREW YOU SHOULD YOU HAVE A REASON TO TERMINATE THE CONTRACT EARLY. I SIGNED A YEAR LONG CONTRACT WITH THEM. HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR I SUFFERED A SERIOUS BACK INJURY AT MY JOB. I WASNT GOING TO BE ABLE TO TRAIN FOR A VERY LONG TIME. MID CITYS CONTRACT STATES THAT A CONTRACT CAN BE TERMINATED IF A PERSON CAN MEDICALLY DOCUMENT THAT THEY HAVE A SERIOUS LONG TERM INJURY. MY PHYSICIAN WROTE A MEDICAL NOTE IN EXACTING DETAIL THAT SHOWED I HAD A LONG TERM MEDICAL DISABILITY. THIS NOTE EASILY SATISFIED MID CITYS REQUIREMENTS FOR TERMINATING A CONTRACT. THIS LETTER WAS SENT TO MID CITY THREE SEPARATE TIMES BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE LETTER. I CALL AND THEY STATE THAT THEY NEVER RECEIVED IT. I REFUSE TO PAY THEM ANOTHER CENT. THEIR SCUMBAG FINICIAL COMPANY ABC FINICIAL CALLS ME ALMOST EVERY DAY TRYING TO COLLECT. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT MID CITY GYM KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT THEIR DOING AND WILL DO ANYTHING TO COLLECT MONEY. NEVER GIVE THIS SCUMBAG GYM YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. ITS GUARANTEED THEY WILL SCREW YOU

I pop in every time I am on business in NYC. Love MCG!

Excellent gym with a wide variety of equipment!

Where I train myself and others. The proprietors are often present and quite affable.

Great gym, allowed us to join up while on holiday.

Poster says 7 dollars 1 training session but the person in the front desk told me 25 dollars. And was very rude.

Excellent trainers and nice gym

Great value great price awesome staff and eclectic members

Be sure to lock your things up, some of the members are thieves. Small gym... can get crowded.

A bit overcrowded, and a bit run down it seemed. Staff was very friendly though.

A variety of equipment and they have it all spaced out. Friendly staff I couldnt ask for more.

Awesome prices, friendly staff, lots of equipment

Small but good enough for your workouts!

Professional trainers. I learnt many things here

Great atmosphere. Great workout
