Reviews & Ratings for Edge

This is a Hardcore Gym!

by charl34

There are gyms and then there are gyms. This is one of the most hardcore gyms I’ve ever been to. The good news is that’s exactly what I needed to get into shape. The personal trainers are friendly but relentless. They didn’t take no for an answer. They kept pushing and pushing until I got the weight off. Now I can’t seem to stay away. My abs are tighter than they’ve ever been and I have this gym to thank for it. It’s a state of the art facility that has serious trainers available to help you.

Excellent gym

by CubemonkeyNYC

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

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

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!

Response from this business

my name is Sean Kelleher and i am the managing partner of Edge.My 30 years of experience in the gym business has taught me that you will disappoint someone along the way. To cancel a EFT contract ,one of three condition must be met (stated in bold lettering) 1.move 25 miles from the club,2. doctor's note that you can no longer participate in exercise or you die. This client informed me that she had joined another gym which is her prerogative but does not negate her obligation . This was not the answer she wanted to hear and hung up on me. I apologize if i was perceive to be rude , my Phone persona is usually short and to the point.At Edge we try to be client oriented (voted 5 stars Talk of the Town.."Excellence in Customer satisfaction") and i hope you will look at the other 37 reviews on city-search which will reinforce that fact.

Great gym with actual results

by brothereugene

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

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.

City's best gym for those who are serious about fitness

by GH211

Edge isn't just your average gym. It is well run with several programmes and classes for all levels of fitness. Safety and fitness are a priority at Edge.Convenient hours. The staff and management are extremely knowledgable and really care about the members of this gym. I have joined several gyms before and lost interest ater a few months. This one is a keeper. Highly recommend it!

• Pros: Pristine equipment, professional, friendly staff.
• Cons: None

The Last Gym I Will Ever Join

by Mom2Be

I have joined more gyms in my life than I care to count and like many people, I paid the monthly fee for absolutely nothing but a feeling of guilt. EDGE will be the last gym I join because they have me as a customer for life! When a coworker first brought me to EDGE, Denis explained that the reason people don't go to gyms once they join is because the "one free lesson with a trainer" most gyms offer isn't enough to teach people how to train on their own and keep them coming back. He's right, I always felt intimidated and like I didn't know what I was doing and the lack of individual contact made me feel invisible... so soon I really was invisible. Bally's, NYSC, I've tried them all.

Powerhit was the best thing that ever happened to me fitness-wise. It's individual attention twice a week at no extra cost. It's really building my skill set and confidence, not to mention my strength, so I know I will be able to keep it up on my own when the time comes with the continued emailed weekly workouts.

During the course of my Powerhit, I got pregnant and now, halfway through, am still working out at EDGE regularly. I do an extended and modified Powerhit with the very experienced trainers. The way they change the workouts especially for my needs makes me feel cared for, which never happens when you go to other gyms! I also attend the classes at EDGE. They are small so the instructors can cater to my specific needs during my pregnancy and afterwards.

I know I am in good hands at EDGE. I feel safe with the trainers and instructors and the entire staff is friendly and courteous. Each client is treated like the individual he or she is. It's very motivating to walk in and be greeted by name! The customer service - and the whole experience - can't be beat!

• Pros: individual attention, small classes, reasonably priced

Awesome Gym

by Dotman

I have been going to gyms my entire life and I have never had such a positive experience that I have had at Edge. The trainers are motivating and super informed. All the staff from the owners on down take a great amount of pride in their job and the service they provide. The gym was obviously built by serious lifters as every last detail has been considered.

• Pros: knowledgable staff, super clean facilities.
• Cons: none

No Regrets..Guaranteed!

by CristianR One

I recently joined EDGE and have no regrets. I have had my share of disappointments with other facilities and felt that I was throwing my money away. I know I am getting an incredible experience at EDGE. The personal attention from management is second to none. Nowhere else have I seen such dedication to members. It is encouraging and inspiring.

The facility itself is impeccable and conducive with positive energy and motivation. Walking in there only amplifies my desire to have a great workout. I am also part of the Powerhit program, which I joined only a couple of weeks ago but already see and FEEL results. The almost instant gratification has helped me tremendously both inside and outside of the gym, but even more importantly, has kick started my realization of the long term results I am going to achieve and sustain.

All of the unmatched amenities coupled with the passion of the people working there put EDGE leagues above all other workout facilities. I recommend EDGE to everyone who is tired of the norm and serious about realizing real results.

• Pros: Excellent website, great atmoshphere, RESULTS.
• Cons: None.
