Chelsea Recreation Center

I love this place. They have a variety of classes they offer all day long and during the weekends until about 6:30 pm. The price is right especially if you’re on a strict budget and want to get fit. They also have swimming classes they offer throughout the week and weekends. They a have a weightlifting room with many machines to work out on but I haven’t had a chance to visit this floor yet. I have been to the room they have a few treadmill’s and elliptical and stair masters machines which is small but never too crowed. They keep their facilities super clean and provide most of the equipment that you will need for the classes they offer. They have enough lockers and all you need to do is bring your own lock. They even have free phone charge stations for phone charging. They have 2 or 3 ping pong tables and a pool table to play, these are usually busy but every now and then are available. Ive met many new people and enjoying the new friendships. Hope you give this place a try to see what they can offer you.

This place makes an effort to provide the best services . The fitness classes are really intense but fruitful . The pool is awesome and I love the water aerobics classes they offer here . Wish the facility was a bit cleaner . I remember back in the winter 2024/ spring 2025 they had 2 guys (one very tall and one with glasses ) who did an AMAZING job maintaining the cleanliness of this place . Locker rooms were as clean as could be , staircases spotless , front entrance impeccable. Sadly I don’t see them at this location anymore . They were the best .

I'm taking Adult Swim Lessons! Today was my second lesson, so while I am scared about swallowing water and putting my face in, I was able to get almost across the short side of the pool, after a few tries, using just my legs, and holding my breath and blowing bubbles out of my nose. So exciting!!! Now I just need to learn how to tread water, incorporate my arms, and side breathing...

This is one of the best New York City Parks and it is indoors, with a very clean environment, swimming pool, pool tables, ping pong tables, Basket ball, picket ball and much more. The Staff are good people who are nice and calm.
