I did a drop in here on my last day of a week New York trip, and wish I had come in sooner!
What appears at first as a trendy boutique studio with a dark, clublike setting is actually the ribbon tied on a tried and true work out method: well thought-out dumbbell and body weight, superset based strength training led in a group setting with an informative instructor and great energy. My class was led by Scott who was positive, really good at demoing the movements and keeping us flowing and motivated. There's video monitors on the ceiling, letting you follow along with the movements even if you are on the bench. I have a history of working out but also some injuries, and it was easy to modify and set the weights according to my needs, with helpful guidance from Scott on what to use.
No gimmicky heart monitors, no dangerous crossfitty motions, just one hour of thorough and potent movements. Check in was easy and the lady running the desk was super friendly. There are lockers, cubbies, changing rooms, and plenty of water. Facility was clean and modern, and the jams were great. I will be back if I'm ever in the village and would definitely go here full time if I lived there.
