Wonder if they went out of business with the coronavirus closure. Are gyms there finally open? I dont think they have even opened schools yet have they?

Ok, so at least gyms are open now in NYC. I guess they are keeping the amount of people allowed in down to a minimum to provide social distancing? I have seen online that some cities have what is called private gyms. Maybe check around for those. A place where you have 24 hours access to the gym.

Once a month i'd hit Richie's or Bevs for a good workout. Good hardcore gyms. It sucks because there arent many in the NYC area anymore. Didnt even realize NYC had opened up their corporate gyms though.

Per Yelp, the location on Stanwix St. is closed (presumably for good).

The one on 101st St. is open Mon-Thurs 5:00-11:00, Fri 5:00-10:00 and 7:00-6:00 on the weekend.

Try The Colliseum on queens Blvd and 101st. I live in BK and make the trip every day. Very much a hard core gym and fantastic equipment - very old school
