The Information Age has led to unprecedented ease of exchange of information and ideas. However, it also entrenches the modern sedentary lifestyle, so we seek ways to keep moving even when our nine-to-five no longer requires us to do so. Membership gyms have long been a staple of urban living, yet the latest crop of residential building is bringing the workout straight to your doorstep by including ever more elaborate fitness centers within the buildings themselves. Such in-house gyms have become a must-have amenity in many new buildings, and older properties are catching up by adding workout spaces of their own.
Top-of-the-market luxury condos compete on the skyline through height and design, indoors through luxe finishes and appliances, and in common spaces through cushy amenities. Now the competition has extended into the weight room and beyond, with developers racing to stay ahead of the pack with fully-stacked workout rooms, swimming pools, spas, sports courts, and more, often decked out in fancy design and finishes that please the eye and entrench a sense of communal identity.
CityRealty’s updated Top 10 list of New York City condos with the best gyms has got you covered if you wish to pump iron in a gym that rises above the competition.
