In Short – A symmetry of chrome and mirrors creates a focused space where clients work at refining their own lines. The gym's two founders--former body-building and power-lifting competitors--believe in balanced, full-body enhancement, and have shaped their gym accordingly. They've chosen the best machines from almost 20 brands and grouped them by level of difficulty, not circuits. Pro-athletes train in one area on rare, advanced machines, while beginners can learn the basics during super-customized private training sessions.
Editor's Tips
- Fitness Equipment:
- Specialty machines include a bumper-padded Olympic platform and the city's only Natural Squat Machine with a loose bar and base for ultimate balance training.
- Personal Trainers:
- Sport-specific training improves real game play. Session fees range from $90 to $150, and memberships set you back $1,300. Independent trainers are also welcome to make this gym their homebase.
- The Extras:
- Additional amenities include showers and a smoothie bar.
- Fitness Programs:
- Call ahead for a schedule of yoga classes. A Pilates room is reserved for one-on-ones.

Excellent gym
by CubemonkeyNYC at Citysearch
No reviews in a long time, so I'll throw in my 2 cents.
EDGE is probably the best gym in the five boroughs. Definitely the best in NYC. The people that train here are serious but friendly, and the facilities are great. The staff are very nice, but are often busy training clients.
The only issue with EDGE is that the olympic platform doesn't behave like other platforms I've used. Even with bumper plates, a weighted bar comes down with a bang as opposed to a dull thud and a bounce. No big deal, though. I'm thrilled just to have a platform to use around here.
If you're looking for a good gym, this is the place. If you are looking for for a spa/health club joint where you can pay your fees and make no progress, look elsewhere.

the great reviews are true
by ju jay at Citysearch
i was not looking for a new gym, but a co-worker goes to Edge, and was talking about it non-stop. so i went for a look and also joined. this place is amazing. i have never thought of myself as an athlete, more like someone who works out, but these guys are giving me a different perspective. the owners are helpful and friendly and they are also athletes themselves. so when they get excited about your program, it sort of rubs off. for me, what's really good about that is that it makes the whole experience a lot more fun that when working out is just something that you have to do. added benefit -- cool low-key people who go here.

Most unfriendliest, unprofessional management anywhere
by hf7470 at Citysearch
The success of the gym is strongly reflected upon by its leadership. When I needed to cancel my membership, the front office staff told me that all I had to do was write a letter stating the reason. When I sent the letter, nobody got back to me, after several attempts to reach the management by email, phone, and voicemail.
A month later after calling again, the manager who got on the phone was rude and unapologetic, and hung up on me before I was done speaking.
I wouldn't recommend that place to anyone!

Great gym with actual results
by brothereugene at Citysearch
I've been doing POWERHIT for about three months now and thought it was time to weigh in. First, everything people say here is true. And I have a few things to add. The progress I've made in the past few months has been amazing, way more than ever before. Also, the only thing better than the progress I've made is the potential that I can now see in myself. This really is a life changing thing. The positive impact on my body, as well as my personal and professional lives has been marked. I can't say enough good things about this gym and this program. Honestly
- Pros: POWERHIT, professional staff, results
- Cons: none

No contest. Best Gym in NYC aka best gym in the WORLD!!!
by Joleen P at Citysearch
I moved to NYC 10 months ago. It took me 9 months & about 15 trial gym memberships to find EXACTLY what I was looking for. I had no idea a gym like this even existed. But low & behold, all of my prayers came true & EDGE shed a ray of light in the concrete jungle. As a former division 1 athlete (Geaux Tigers!) I have no patience for all of these fake gyms with no back bone. So here it is people, the best gym in all the world. Best trainers, best equipment, best of everything, no question. And most importantly, a place where real athletes can thrive.
