Edge

05/01/2008 Posted by lsm1976

I have been training for 5 years and for the last 2 at EDGE. If you are serious about getting results whether it be improving your fitness, strength, or just interested in being healthy this is the place for you. The best part of the gym is the friendly, non-intimidating atmosphere. The equipment is top-notch, brand new, and clean. The locker room and showers are immaculate. And there is never a wait for the cardio equipment but I am afraid that after writing this review this relatively undiscovered gem on the upper east side might get a little more crowded.

Pros: great atmosphere. almost guaranteed to get results if you join.

Cons: only one location in the city.

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.

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

Cons: None

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. There is also a great smoothie bar for post work-out snacks.

Everything in the place is brand new and first class. Its never crowded. You can use almost anything you want whenever you want. The price is definetly worth it. 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

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
