Edge

I have just started working out at this gym this year, not much previous experience. This has been a great experience and I can't wait to get back there once my current injury has healed. The gym, on 2 floors is very clean and all of the machines are in excellent condition. I have never seen it crowded and the other people who workout, seem very serious and reservedly friendly at the same time. When I have been there without a trainer, if I look a bit confused, someone will come and ask me if I need help without being pushy. The locker room is small but has everything one needs and the gym is perfect,overall. more

Edge is by far the nicest gym I have ever worked out at. For the last 2 years I was a member at a chain gym, and injured my shoulder while improvising an exercise on another machine because the gym was so crowded. Fed up, I went to Edge and it was the best decision I ever made. First of all, the gym is beautiful, the weights are always in the right place, the gym floor is clean, their cardio equipment isn't covered in sweat (and there is never a wait). They have a good selection of machines and even have an area where you can perform deadlifts and other exercises. Sean and Denis are both very knowledgable and when I told them about my injury they gave me a personalized workout program and are there to offer advice and answer questions when I'm working out. They also have a GREAT smoothie bar, nice locker rooms and classes (which I have not taken but based on the quality of everything at Edge I'm sure are great). Once my shoulder is healed I will be signing up for their High Intensity Training program, check out their website and see what its all about. So, if you are sick of being another number at a chain gym and want a personalized gym experience that will produce results, head over to Edge. Just geat ready to work out hard! Pros: Clean Space, Friendly Staff, New Equipment more

This is an amazing gym. The equipment is excellent, and there is plenty of it. The space itself is beautifully decorated, bright, spacious and clean. The staff are all extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and the atmosphere is never intimidating. Being a member of this gym would benefit anyone; a complete novice or a serious weight-lifter; male or female; any age, shape or size.

You won't find a better gym in the city. This place is floors and floors of brand new top of the line equipment. Pros: Equipment, Availability, Location more

This gym is the number one place in NYC to learn and peform NO-nonsense effective strength training. The equipment is top notch bar-none and the facilities are pristine. The owners have a wealth of practical experience that will help anyone at any level of fitness achieve their goals. As a ex-competitive weightlifter whose focus is now on health, I can honestly say this is THE PLACE TO TRAIN regardless of your level- beginner or seasoned advance trainee. Pros: Quality of Equipment Cons: There is NO downside more

This is a GREAT gym! The equipment is amazing and there is a broader selection than any other gym I have visited or seen. I never have to wait to use the machines, and I never feel intimidated to go workout. They even have pilates equipment which is something I definately want to learn to do. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, encouraging, and SUPER NICE! The gym floor is clean, airy, and bright, which really gets my spirits up to workout. They even have a waiting area with a plasma TV to enjoy before or after your workout. I'm also excited about taking one of the pilates or yoga classes. Their smoothie bar has some great choices, but the staff is always willing to let me create my own drink too! The staff is so personable and friendly! This is such a fun, HEALTHY environment...EDGE is really the greatest gym in New York City! Pros: Professionals who really want to see you accomplish your goals! more

The guys who run this place did everything right. In my 15 yrs. of memberships to a variety of NYC gyms, this has been by far the best experience. Every piece of workout equipment has been well thought out. The space is open, comfortable, and clean. There is a high level of professionalism and respect that is refreshing at a gym. The training staff is extremely competent and the employees that I've encountered all go the extra mile to make you feel at home. It's like belonging to a private club on the Upper East Side. Pros: Brand Spanking New, Great Equipment, Knowlegable Staff Cons: None so far more

Edge gym is one of the finest gyms on the upper east side. Edge is not one of your ordinary gyms in manhattan, but certainly an exceptional gym. Edge offers Convenient hours, There is no waiting on machines, edge also offers Modern equipment and defitnely offers Fair memberships for an awsome gym. Last but not least, i will tell you my little secret, the JUICE BAR* THEY HAVE THE BEST, HEALTHIEST, AND VERY TASTY SHAKES EVER. The staff is always in a good mood. Pros: GREAT FAIR, AMBIENCE AND SERVICE more

That's exactly what I am looking forward to becoming...This place is amazing. The size and quality of everything about this place is top notch, from the space, equipment, to the staff. Comfortable feeling for all levels from novices to rockheads. Place is clean and appears to be very well run. more

I've been in more than 100 gyms all across the country and haven't found one nearly this nice!! The top-notch equipment, gorgeous layout, and friendly crackteam of staff really makes this gym not only worth every penny, but worth every second spent in it. Have not had a personal training session, but have met the 2 owners and would venture to say it would be worth the price of admission to spend an hour with these 2 guys just learning as much as possible from them- add a workout and they might as well be paying you to be there! Pros: 100% Fruit Smoothie- No Added Sugars Cons: The Juice Bar isn't open 24/7! more

This is one of the best gyms in NYC. The trainers are amazing and the facility is fantastic. Great for beginners or more experienced athletes. Pros: Hours, Shake Bar, Trainers Cons: Haven't found one yet. more

As a self-employed professional trainer who's seen and used a great many gyms I can tell you that Edge is unique for the forethought, experience and expertise used to assemble New York's best collection of fitness equipment in an aesthetically beautiful setting. Passing through the glass-walled lobby and past the locker room's undulating venetian plaster walls you will immediately know that Edge is unique for its immaculately clean and elegant yet comfortable environment. Leaving the locker room and walking onto the adjacent weight room floor you'll find the best collection of resistance training equipment in New York, including several pieces that cannot be found elsewhere in the City. Edge is equipped to produce serious results and some members will need instruction in the use of this equipment. They'll find the best possible guidance from Edge's owners, its staff trainers and a select group of rigorously screened independent trainers, all among the industry's best. Walking through the weight room and down the stairs brings you to a second floor filled with aerobic and pilates machines and studios where you can attend yoga and mat pilates classes. Members using the aerobic equipment, which like the resistance equipment is state-of-the-art and in some cases unique, enjoy watching satellite TV on six large HD flat panel screens. After their workout they won't want to miss the smoothy bar featuring genuinely great shakes flavored with fresh fruit, not refined sugar. And after they leave, they'll be back. Pros: Too many to pick one more

I joined the EDGE gym looking for a getaway place to train. I'm an in-home personal trainer, USA Triahtlon Coach and Competitor. Pros: Top equipment, members, staff Cons: Inconvenient location. more

I have only just joined this week (I think they just opened recently) but love this gym already. It is SO clean, the equipment is first-rate, and the trainers are the best -- experts, but really nice, no attitude whatsoever. You feel like you're in on this great secret find when you come here! Fantastic Pilates equipment and classes, which is a priority for me. Pros: Great staff, beautiful facility, equipment that you've never seen anywhere else Cons: I don't live nearby (but the trip is worth it) more
