I need a gym in NYC

[John Watson]

Somehow I have house guests for the next 2 weeks, that are sleeping on the futon in my living room, which is also my weight room, so I need a local gym.

I missed a whole month, and was just getting my squat to a lame 245 3x5 from a less lame 280 3x5.

I only need 2 weeks or so of membership.

My first thought was to go to Solace gym and get in on part of Michael Wolf's 8 week training cycle, and get the benefit of great coaching, but from what I can tell, it doesn't look like they do partial cycles.

So I ask, any good SS gyms out you recommend?

(maybe Ill check Crossfit South Brooklyn, or Crossfit Gantry.)

I used to go to a Synergy by the east village. around 17th and 3rd or some such. Cheap, they have a platform, good bars, and bumpers. Probably your best option for a couple of weeks. I believe you can get a free week trial out of them. After that, hit up some other free trials or pay for a month at synergy.

If price isn't a factor, you have many more options.

Thanks Roland, that sounds good, that's right off the L train which is totally on my route from work.

No problem. Another good resource is the following thread. From when I lived in Manhattan a while back.
