This is one fantastic place. The staff is friendly, the pool is amazing, the fitness center has awesome classes. It's such a gem on the Upper East Side.

The fitness center overlooks the river and is beautiful, the pool is amazing and the staff is extremely friendly. Asphalt Green is a 10 across the boards.

Great gym, people serious about getting healthier, not cheesy guys hitting on every girl in there, not total psycho beefcakes... great classes, phenom pool, very clean, never over crowded. maybe a bit pricier than nysc and equinox, but well worth it and still less than the really big ticket places like reebok and crunch

Asphalt Green Fitness Center is really user friendly. The cardio pieces look out over the east river/triborough bridge, the weight machines are hooked up to Fitlinxx system that keeps track of your workouts. They have all different kinds of machines that hit all the various muscle groups in different ways. The free weight area is set up with equipment like a major college, pro-team, olympic training center. They even have all this special equipment for stretching and relaxation. Staff is with it and quite helpfull, most of them really know their stuff. The atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed. The place is very clean and the equipment is well kept. Add the really great pool, full size astro-turf field with indoor and outdoor jogging tracks, the basketball gym, and I think you have found an "Athletic Paradise"

Pros: super equipment, great value, fun

Cons: parking

Fitlinxx System (computer integrated sensors on lifting machines) monitors your workout and gives you constant feedback on your range of motion, speed etc, and keeps track of weight lifted, sets and reps, also tracks cardio workouts.

Pros: Clean, Friendly, Moderate price

Cons: Parking

Know Before You Go

The pool is shut down yearly--usually from around August 20 to Labor Day--in order to give it a thorough cleaning. The rest of the time, even non-members can gain access for a fee.
