Midtown Gym (I believe on 49th and 9th) is a no frills old school kind of gym

Steele Gym is a bit further away nice and bigger.

19th Street is like Steele

They opened a Powerhouse near Grand Central, but I haven't been there yet.

The other two gyms mentioned above - Steel and 19th street are really good, but also incredibly expensive. The third one which was called MIDTOWN gym is actually POWERHOUSE gym, and has broken equipment, so go at your own risk. I've been to all three of these gyms, but I train at either of the two below. If you want to workout and not go bankrupt, you can try either of the following which are also very close to where you'll be staying:

GOLDS GYM - 54th street between 7th and 8th avenues. You're on 34th so it's a hop on the train away.

There's another gym downtown from you (2 train stops away also going in the other direction) called 24/7 fitness which is located on 47 West 14th street.

They are literally open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - holidays don't matter, they are always open. If they don't have what you need, you don't need it.

If you need any more NYC info (especially on the trains) just PM me and I'll try to help you out.

I wrote the wrong name. I was actually thinking of Mid-City. I haven't worked out here, but heard it's decent and it's right near the W Time Square (which is on 48th).

There is also a decent (decent for NYSC) 24 hour NYSC on 52nd and Broadway. That is my normal NYSC of choice, although I hate them all.

Steele looks pretty close only like 2 1/2 blocks away.

Steele is about 25 blocks from the W Time Square (46th to 23rd). Short cab or subway ride.

When I visit NYC, I go to either Steel or 19th Street. Steel is a little cramped. Some huge guys at both. I think Steel is trying to be a little more mainstream these days though...

This was a work function that I went for thought I would have at least an hour or two to hit the gym per day but sadly not. This was my first trip ever to NYC and it was awesome I have to go back for something not work related I loved it.
