Chelsea Piers
This fitness club’s vast variety of classes (there are more than 150 per week) and its giant facility (the size of three football fields) makes it a top contender for anyone who’s looking to train in a space with plenty of room to breathe. With so many ways to get a workout, even fitness-phobes will find something they like. Get sporty inside the high-end gym by partaking in basketball, boxing, rock climbing, rowing, cycling or volleyball. There’s also an indoor pool, a communal work and social space, and a café. Good news for Brooklynites: In late May, Chelsea Piers is opening a second club in Kings County. Much like the Manhattan location, the downtown Brooklyn spot features state-of-the-art training, a 75-foot-long pool, a wide range of classes and more.
