As you test your climbing skills on the facility's rock wall--the largest in the city--it's not hard to imagine a trek up Mount Everest. Lessons in jazz dance and…

A great sports complex!!
by GregoryM at Citysearch
The chelsea piers sports complex is one of a kind! There is a lot of activities that you can participate from yoga to swimming to basketball. It's a great place to work out and enjoy the views of the Hudson river. I just feel that it's too big to enjoy it all. Overall a great place and will definitely recommend this to any active people in new york!
- Pros: So much activities to not get bored.
- Cons: Too big to enjoy it all

Pricy and snobbish
by ksood at Citysearch
Tried it on the $50 a day membership. Once they checked us in (i.e. took the $$), no one bothered showing us around, handing us towels, or even telling us the way to the lockers etc. When we asked, the attendants seemed to indicate that they were really busy. However it was not apparent doing what.
The reason we tried this place was because we wanted to do some extended lap swimming and their pool has been raved about. The pool did have great views over the Hudson, but our swimming experience wasn’t really the best. I got bummed around from my lane a couple of times, to accommodate other swimmers, and for rather weird reasons. Once - because as per the life guard "someone 'important' wanted to swim in the middle lane" and another time because a girlfriend wanted to swim in the same lane her boyfriend.
Can see that the gym has great infrastructure, and the equipment is great. However, our experience wasn’t that great, so we will not be going back again.
- Pros: Great views from the pool; lots of equipment; big size
- Cons: Snobbish staff; poor lockers

Nice place, some defects
by margot darby at Citysearch
For most things Chelsea Piers is the best. However, its price is steep, and its vaunted indoor tracks are not what they say. There is no functioning 400m track--management has let other facilities creep over most of the lanes in the track so you have an oddly shaped 430-450m track instead, with another oddly shaped 220m track on the inside. This is fine for jogging, but not for speedwork. Finally, the location itself means a commitment for several hours just to get in a decent workout--no lunchtime-hour rounds here.
- Pros: vast range of facilities
- Cons: expensive, bad tracks, rather distant
