NYSC Lab

Come for the classes and stay for the trainers.. but if you can help it don't take a shower. Pro: The classes are 100%. I've taken a large variety of the classes and with most of the trainers. And they are all AWESOME! They are challenging but realistic (most of the time). The service staff are super friendly and helpful. Within a week they knew my name. Con: The shower situation is pretty bad. There are only 2.5 showers (the 3rd is continually out of order). And you have the share the ridiculously small locker room and shower with the Cyc studio. Some times it's not an issue but sometimes it's out of control. Also, my own personal thing, people here do not know how to take quick showers. Thursday's in particular are the busiest and therefore the worst. Note: It's not a normal gym. You come for classes, which you'll see familiar faces every time, and not to use elliptical (they don't have any). 100% recommend this gym.

NYSC Lab on 6th Ave is THE BEST gym ever. I have had memberships to a variety of other gyms (Equinox, Planet Fitness, etc) and none of them even compare to NYSC Lab. I truly enjoy coming to the gym for the amazing classes but also for the people there. As a member, I attend classes at least 4x a week (on a bad week) and I am recognized by staff as well as other members. I feel like I am part of a family, which is important to me. The instructors, other members and the specific workouts keep me motivated and I have seen significant changes. NYSC Lab is worth every penny.

Had an amazing workout with Juan in his friction class! I know I am going to feel it for days and he was such a great instructor. Spoke with a couple people in the class and they have been coming to his class for almost a year! Great class, awesome instructor! Would highly recommend this gym!

I signed myself and my boyfriend up for BFX burn as part of our class pass trial period. I love working out and rarely shy away from a hard workout or something new ...so off we went. The facilities themselves are among the nicest of any gym I've been to. The bathrooms are beautiful and immaculately clean. The gentleman at the front desk greeted us politely and enthusiastically, welcoming us to the gym and explaining a little bit about the layout of the place and where we would find our basic necessities Etc. The class itself felt like a cleaner, fancier version of a Crossfit class... Which suits me just fine since I find crossfit to be a great workout but a little gritty for my taste. The instructor, Alyse Barker, was very motivating and energetic, explaining each drill clearly. She really seems to love what she does and it shows. I'd be very interested in what other classes she teaches as well. I'm not a weightlifter. despite being in overall good shape, I can't do ONE PROPER PUSH-UP. I like encouragement but I don't like being bullied into picking up a kettle bell that weighs 1/3 of what I do. This class was truly for all levels which is so refreshing. I'll probably be sore tomorrow and I'll probably love it! *** not relevant to the workout but the minty shampoo and other products in the bathrooms are absolutely wonderful!!***
