New York Sports Club

Felix Odman is simply The Best Yoga Instructor at NYSC right now, & has been over the last several years. He (& his Classes) is punctual, reliable, diligent, attentive, caring, informative, assertive, creative, challenging, exploratory, & Fun! We always know it's going to be an awesome & occasionally transformative class, or session when Felix is guiding our Yoga time! Only suggestion is that the Classes are truly limited to the 25 max capacity #'s at least at the 73rd Street location, b/c any more then those who have appropriately registered for these Sessions makes the Studio too cramped, crowded, packed like sardines & less beneficial for all of our flow, exercise, & health overall. **Another possible "Fix" or Solution as discussed w/Nathan (Nate) at the front desk, reception, after class last Saturday, April 5th, would be to PLEASE ADD A FEW MORE YOGA SESSIONS throughout the week, or on the weekends at the UWS NYSC locations. Which at this point seem to be down to 73rd & 94th - After the closing of the 80th & Broadway location. **Please add more YOGA classes - If you ever attend or look in on the Saturday or Tuesday Sessions at 73rd St. with Felix Odman & Donald Cruz (also excellent!), you will plainly see the Demand is there! Thank You & Namaste, PB Ps.. To be clear - Felix Odman & Donald Cruz are 5 out of 5 STARS. It is the overcrowding of these classes, & lack of enough additional ones that force me to leave 1 star out, plus the lack of Towels - NYSC recently lost their main Towel vendor & it's been several wks already w/o a replacement. Plus, the Men's Locker Room facilities can use an upgrade on both 73rd & 94th. Otherwise mainly good. Nate at 73rd, & Jonathan + Jeremy at 94th are Fantastic employees as well! Thank you.

-a 3 minute walk from 2 different subway stations and 5 train lines, B/C and 1/2/3 at 72 st. -excellent local neighborhood gym -decent hours for new york city -good overall equipment from a calisthenics area/stations such as chin/dip assist, to cable machines to free weights, giving your body a complete hybrid workout regime -towel service included -VERY important - nearly every gym will blast the music on its workout floor, which is very annoying but af this gym, they play the music just gentle enough so you can barely hear it so you don't have to compete against the audio with your own headphones, or if you want to work out in peace; it is not jarring. it is bad enough that gyms force their music on the public which doesn't want to hear it in the first place as this is not a nightclub/disco. i understand they have to follow corporate policy of running an audio system, but at the least, this gym is considerate enough to keep the decibel level reasonably low -i was able to build an amazing body because of the equipment and the location and operating hours which encouraged me to use it four days a week

Bryan's classes are awesome. He knows his stuff. He is challenging and encouraging. He changes his class so that it is always different for us. We should have more classes like his. We need more strengthening and balance classes in the morning. The studio 1 of West 73rd gym is free most days of the week in the morning. More Total Body Conditioning classes in the morning, please.

very clean facility. a good majority of the equipments are new and good working conditions. personally, i prefer metal plates, which allows more weights to be added. the plastic-coating are fine but doesnt allow for max plate loading. but it is a good gym

I would otherwise give a 5/5 score — the staff is outstanding, the gym clean, and the machines and equipment is great. However, it's often not in order. Dumbbells and bars are left a mess or not replaced where they came from. Huge plates are left on machines. And it doesn't seem that members are held accountable for customary gym upkeep and etiquette.
