What People Are Saying About Asphalt Green

Citysearch
The Scene
Built on five acres of city-owned property, Asphalt Green is a not-for-profit sports venue with incredibly varied programming. Where else would you find pregnant teens from Inwood House relaxing in a small water pool (with a hydraulic floor) while nearby geriatric ladies who lunch swim Olympic-length laps under a luminous skylight of fogged glass? Separate dressing rooms are provided for members and guests, but everyone has access to a steamroom.
The Workout
Free weights and Nautilus are practically passe--but available--at this gym, which has both FitLinxx (a simulated trainer attached to the exercise machines) and a handicapped-accessible universal fitness station. With four basketball courts (three outdoors), an astroturfed athletic field (baseball, softball, lacrosse, etc.), a running track (accessible to the public) and even a little theater where puppet shows are regularly performed, this place dwarfs other health clubs in terms of physical magnitude, class options and community outreach.

Asphalt green has a fair amount of space to help you make the most of your workout; I would say they have altogether around six acres of workout space. They also have a great fitness center where you can find literally anything to enhance your fitness experience from cardio machines to aqua aerobics.

The Extras:
Beyond Pilates, aerobics and yoga, this health club also offers less commonplace courses in African dance, volleyball and various martial arts. Plus, there's triathlete training!
