Park Slope Gyms
Hi, I’m going to be moving from Manhattan to Park Slope (1st st. & 7th avenue) and I was wondering if people could recommend a good gym in the neighborhood. I’m looking for as inexpensive as I can get without being too crappy. Thanks

You will be 4 blocks from slope gym on 7th and union. Also, there is a crunch on flatbush and 7th.
I go to the NYSC on 9th Street and 5th Avenue and it’s $72 a month. The great part is that if you will be working in Manhattan, you can use any of their locations there as well if you want to go after or before work.
And the NYSC in Park Slope is the nicest one of the chain I’ve seen…very well maintained…
You also aren’t terribly far from the Y on 9th street — if you are also a member of the food coop (or have affiliation with some others), you can get a discount.
Also, there’s Slope Fitness on Union right off of 7th, which may be the closest geographically, but I don’t know how cheap they are.
I was paying $200/year at the 5th Avenue Gym, located at the corner of 5th Ave and 15th Street. I think they may have raised the prices a little since then, but if you’re able to pay a year’s dues in advance they’ll give you a good deal. Excellent if you’re looking for a serious weight training environment, less so if you want the yuppie amenities.
harbor fitness is a nice gym on 15th st 4/5 aves. not sure what the rate is now (i locked in the past for life), but i think its like 70 a month. go there and negotiate, recession discount 🙂
body reserve on union st. and 5th ave is $65/month.
not a great gym, but is close by….
