Active amenities in NYC buildings to help keep resolutions and have more fun + Listings with home gym space

By CityRealty Staff | From Great Listings Friday, January 6, 2023

Not photos from fitness studios, but from residential buildings

Barely a week into the new year, resolutions to get in shape or take up a new activity are still going strong (no pun intended). City gyms typically see a spike at this time of year, and New York is full of specialty studios catering to any number of sports and hobbies. However, certain people don’t need to leave home to take advantage of this, making it a little easier to keep their resolutions. Not only do these buildings offer gyms with cardio and strength equipment, but they also include sports courts to take things to the next level.

Below, see a selection of the most state-of-the-art active amenities in New York City buildings. Additionally, if you’re not comfortable working out in front of your neighbors, we offer a selection of listings with flexible floor plans that allow for home gyms.
