PureGym - 116th St.

Jose and Preston have great vibes and make the gym feel like home ! It's also a great place to wake up and have good workout without waiting on a machine or weights !

After visiting the PureGym at 52nd it's clear that the owners don't care at all about people in Harlem paying the same money to work out at the filthy broken gym on 116th while the preferred clients in midtown have dedicated functional fitness areas, all new machines and plates and workout areas that aren't designed to ruin your body. The gym at 116th has literal holes in the floors, sometimes not even covered with mats but just crumbling into the visible subfloor below and other times the holes are secret ankle twisters to stumble into while you try to find a safe spot to deadlift amongst the piles of used wipes and discarded weights strewn everywhere. They could at least provide a safe floor for people but I guess they know Harlem will take whatever crap you throw at us because the gym is always full even though only 2/5 doors even work.

I just love this gym. It's always clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Equipment - all I need. Space is not huge - it's convenient for fast training. Clients - it's another story- it feels like here is a community which supports each other.

Great gym with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere! Phillip is always professional, helpful, and attentive, and he consistently makes sure members have a great experience. His customer service really stands out. Overall, a great gym and team!

I had a pleasant workout experience. Because I was at the gym at 1:00am, Sunday morning, there were very few persons so access to machines and free weights were unrestricted. The gym was a little messy with use wipes everywhere and weights scattered all over the place, but it was fairly tolerable. This is my gym!
