i just moved to NYC and really want to find a decent gym (including a pool, if possible). i work in lower manhattan and live in central brooklyn (flatbush area). any recommendations? i'm also looking for a personal trainer.

(sorry to post this question here, as it's probably not very relevant. it's just that i can't think of anywhere else to post it. any other ideas of where to ask?)

Well you can go to Ballys...im sure they have a special with no binding contract now in the city (cause of competetion)... There is one on 6th Ave b/t 19th and 20th. So you prob take the Path up there from WTC. Ummmthere are these gyms called David Z... i went there cause i had a coupon, those are real high class gyms ..lots of models and moviestar types , (plus alot of homos) not really the gritty type of gym ..kinda expensive. Plus there is also NYSC... not sure where but there are a few.

There is a Bally's on Flatbush and Tilden but that doesn't have a pool. The Bally's in Sheapshead bay does, I am not sure which train runs there.

The NYSC downtown Brooklyn has an indoor tennis court, no pool. There is a private gym in Canarsie near to me which has 2 pools.

I work in the lower manhattan and work out at the Wall Street NYSC (no pool).

dude if you want a gym with a pool then you're looking for a health club...

a gym shouldn't even have aerobics!

the ballys on 19th and 6th ave. is just a regular gym nothing special about it

Not in Manhattan, especially not mid-town or downtown. I am not sure about uptown.

There are two in Brooklyn. The one downtown Brooklyn doesn't have one. I am not sure about the one in Sheapshead bay.

World Gym on Mercer St. Between Bleecker and W 4th St. Went there for about a year or so. John Basedow went there at the time, so I guess you can rule it out as a hardcore gym. I think it was $700 for the year. I'm glad I don't live in Manhattan anymore with their inflated price bullshit. Good luck.

NYSC, would be my choice, because they have a lot of locations and a pool on 91st & 3rd and 34th & 2nd.

There are a couple of good gyms in the wall street area, one just off Broadway across from city hall, the other at 80 John street, closer to the seaport. Neither has a pool.

Go to bigger gyms uptown if a pool's necessary-23rd and 14th street:

Chelsea Piers, 23rd at the west side highway.

A chain of city-run gyms in manhattan, brooklyn and other borroughs that are a bargain. Join and have access to all of them. Here are some that have pools:

-23rd street east at FDR.
-25th street west between 9th & 10th ave.-very nice, brand new and not as crowded as 23rd.

List of NY-area gyms:

The 14th street YMCA has a pool but is a lot more money than the city gyms and doesn't have the room or variety of Chelsea Piers.
