While the equipment here is nice, the staff is a shining example of what is wrong with gyms. Not only were they extremely aggressive in trying to get me to buy a membership but they weren’t able to keep the promises they made me in order to win me over. When I asked for the week guest pass they had promised me for my girlfriend they denied ever offering it to me with one staff simply saying “yea bro, not valid” only to turn and walk away. The atmosphere here is not warm and welcoming but quite superficial and I cannot advise anyone to use this gym.

Dropped in on a holiday weekend and ended up coming both days I was in town. The first day was a free trial, second day $35 but definitely worth the money. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The facility is spacious and insanely clean. There are multiple Olympic platforms, racks, and benches. They have a nice sized turf with functional equipment and have everything from specialty bars to ski ergs. A1 facility.

Been coming here for 3 weeks (4-5x/week) and it’s a nice gym! You get what you pay for in a good way. Pros: the equipment is great quality. They have every piece of equipment you’d need. The staff here are super great! Shout out to my boy Louis who brings a smile to everyone who walks in. The locker rooms are top notch. Cons: there’s only one or two of some equipment so you might have to wait for it. This location does get quite busy in the before work and after work hours. I will also note there tends to be a lot of gym bros here at those times. Last con: there’s no steam room or hot tub.

I’ve been to my fair share of gyms. However the feel, look and overall quality for the price is excellent. I paid what I did with other gyms but got a newer atmosphere and better equipment. The only down is the hours. They don’t open as early as the others and they close a little early as well. But other than that the training sessions were manageable and I look forward to going to work out.

Super friendly staff, brand new gear and spaces, great vibe, people are covid conscious and focus what they are doing - if you have been fully vaccinated masks are optional. Its near the F line and different Buses lines. Short distance from the M line.

This place is absolutely not worth the money- especially the extra money for a month to month. For the 25$ extra /month you pay for the flexibility to cancel or move, they charge you 80$ for an "initiation" (someone patronizingly walking you through their tiny gym with a clipboard) and charge you up to a full month (they call it prorated, like you're paying rent) after you cancel. In my opinion if I am a customer paying extra for flexibility, you should stop charging my card when I stop using your service and not hide your money-skimming policies in the fine print.

It's 4 floors, and yet this place is small and constantly packed. Especially the weight room. It is very difficult to do any real routine here. The front desk staff is awesome, and so are the personal trainers. I love using free weights, and even though the equipment is up to date, there just isn't enough room or equipment. You'll find you will be waiting around a lot to use some equipment, so you'll have to constantly adjust what you intend on doing. They also use up the treadmills. You could literally wait on a line just to use treadmills or the step machines. Overall, if you're a casual fitness person or do a lot of stretching, this place could work for you. But if you're serious about body building, I highly recommend going to some place else.

I really enjoy working out here. Great selection of weights and boxing equipment. Also very clean. The guy I think his name is Tony is literally always cleaning and picking up weights, making sure the place feels clean and organized. It’s not one of those gyms like La fitness where everything is a complete mess. Keep up the good work tmpl team!!

Such a great gym! Been going to this gym since the beginning of this year. I've had the pleasure of training w/ Madison and she's helped me so much w/ attaining goals for my fitness and health. Everyone is also so so friendly. Great gym, great atmosphere, and great community!!

While visiting a friend in town, I had the pleasure of joining her as a guest at the TMPL gym. The facility was very clean and had all the equipment that I could want or need. They even had a hip thrust machine. The staff was friendly and welcoming. And they had a great playlist on while we worked out together. Definitely would stop in again on future NY visits.

Such a great gym! Locker rooms and workout areas are kept so clean and the environment is friendly. There is a great variety of machines and so much equipment, you'll never feel like you're missing anything. The music selection is always great too :). It is such a welcoming space and the staff are simply awesome. Shoutout to Lamar and Tony for being the best!

Clean room, nice person, good equipment 🏋️‍♂️

Great staff and awesome machines.

Great workout. Went with a friend as I been going to the gym more. Was a fun time. Recommend

I’ve gone here over a year and it’s generally been a great experience. It’s not as luxurious or offering as many classes (or stuffy) as an equinox, but the place is clean/well kept, has good equipment, friendly staff, and still a very fun NYC vibe. I started coming here because I found the nearby Blink fitness insufferably crowded and wanted an upgrade. It did not and does not disappoint. There is lots of equipment and the crowds are only even a slight problem at the peak hour of the day at 5-7pm on weekdays. Overall, I’ve gotten in great shape at TMPL and would recommend to anyone looking for a solid gym in the East Village.

Friendly staff, great equipment, good value

The experience at TMPL Avenue A has been amazing Edwin, Hailey, Quinten, Steven, Andrew, Kayla, Luis have really made me feel apart of the community. I think that’s most important for a new gym in a new city.

Walked in to do a floor visit before deciding if I want to join and the service was exceptional. I felt comfortable thanks to the staff, especially Scott (I think that's his name!) who was so welcoming and informative! Definitely 5 star service!

Ever since I got my first tour with Scott I’ve been loving my experience here. The equipment is so clean and the staff is very accommodating. Hard to find that in a gym these days! A+!

Great new gym with equipment. Happy I found this place!

I have been going to TMPL Avenue A for almost 2 years. I love the friendliness of the staff. The facilities are extra clean. It has all the equipment for a great workout. I was told they are adding a sauna in the near future which will complete this gym for my needs.

Great equipment and nice clean space!

Good gym. Staff is kind. Cleanliness is a priority. Machines and cardio equipment are always reliable and widespread. Locker room is great. Also a great location

Love this gym! They have all the newest equipment and everything you could need for a good workout. The staff truly goes out of their way to be friendly and accommodating. Could not recommend this gym more!!

I love the machines in the Gym!! Scott was so good explaining how to use the machines I have never tried before!!

The gym has great classes, well maintained equipment and overall is very clean. The bathrooms/locker rooms are well stocked and high end too. During peak hours it can get busy. The customer service is amazing! Ari was very nice and helpful when discussing membership options during the tour. I’ve been going for a couple of weeks now and I’m very happy I decided to go, I highly recommend this gym!! 👍🏽

Nice gym with brand new equipments. Staff are welcoming and super friendly. They need a new bench though because the current one wobbles which is pretty dangerous. Other than that solid gym and would highly recommend. Want to add… the men need to flush the toilet. The unisex bathroom is gross.

Trained with AB for 3 months learning Olympic lifts, and had a great time doing it! AB is extremely observant and experienced, and I'm very happy with how much progress I made. Highly recommend personal training through TMPL for anyone who's interested in Olympic lifts, or just lifting in general.

Literally the best gym I’ve ever been to. From the trainer Madison to Steven, Erik and every single staff member. The facility is very clean and have all equipment you need. Very happy to be part of this gym!

Cleanliness and machine quality has dropped significantly in past year. Ever since Tony the cleaner was fired the gym has been unkempt. Been a member for ~2 years now, and I would not pay the current monthly price for Ave A location.

Special shout out to Jon Hawkins, who has truly made a significant difference in my fitness journey. His friendly and approachable demeanor always creates an inviting atmosphere and makes everyone feel like a part of a close-knit community. Whenever I have questions, he makes himself readily available and listens attentively. I always feel like he is genuinely committed to providing the best possible experience for everyone. I highly recommend his gym to anyone looking to embark on a rewarding fitness journey.

I've been a member at TMPL Avenue A for almost 2 years and the manager Jane assisted with signing me up. I recently moved apartments and am relocating to a different TMPL gym and she has been so kind and helpful with the transfer process. TMPL is a very clean gym with nice equipment and incredible staff. I would definitely recommend a membership with them if you're looking for a new gym or looking to switch gyms, and hopefully, you get the pleasure of working with Jane.

The gym Is small but the staff and cleanness makes up for everything!! Best thing about this place are the employees. They treat you like family

I’ve been a member here for almost 2 years and really enjoy TMPL Ave A. It’s clean, the gym has everything you need, and the staff are great- so helpful and happy to work with you on membership questions. Highly recommend!

I was recommended this gym by a friend and I was not disappointed! This gym is very clean and it has great equipment. The staff is very friendly and Steven helped break down all the membership options . I’m excited to start my fitness journey at TMPL! ☺️

I moved out here a few months ago and I really love this gym! I had a billing issue and the manager Jon was really helpful and patient with helping me get it resolved. Super clean and organized, the best one in the area.

Edwin is such a lovely employee at TMPL! This is a state of the art gym with top notch equipment. The gym is conveniently located. The facilities are fantastic. Worth it!

Fabulous gym. The design aesthetic and vibe at this place is off the charts. Great team of trainers and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They seem to always have a genuine care for my experience, and that it be the best one possible. Scott helped sign me up and made onbaording process incredibly smooth and exciting. Highly recommend.

TMPL Avenue A is my favorite gym in NY! The equipment, design and layout make for stellar workouts! Most importantly the TMPL team make being a member here that much better. Always friendly and attentive to our needs. I love it here 🙌🏽

Love this gym, so close to my house and multiple locations all over Manhattan! Good prices and you get so much for your money! Including classes, all equipment, 4 levels, guest passes and a staff with the best costumer service!

Great location, all new exercise machines, staff is knowledgeable and accommodating. Jane the manager is really a great person and very helpful.

The atmosphere is great, the staff & especially Jane the manager are wonderful. I enjoy working out at the gym. I like taking their classes, the instructors are great. Their equipment is new & easy to use.

love this gym. Sam is the best trainer! i got the results i wanted in less than a year

This gym has it all. New equipment, great layout, clean and an amazing staff.

I really like this gym, it’s probably the cleanest gym I’ve been to and the staff are always friendly! There’s a good assortment of equipment and the towel service is a huge plus. It gets a bit busy after work but is still very usable. Thanks Steven for getting me setup!

Staff is super friendly, amenities are on point, equipment and space is safe and so clean. happy to have this place so close to work and where all my friends hang out. No excuses!!! 💪🏽

Beautiful gym with amazing amenities. Super competitive prices when compared to other luxury gyms in the city. Would recommend 100%!

ABracadABra! This is a really great gym. I got a monthly rate under $60 as a former NYSC member. The gym has been entirely renovated and upgraded. All the machines are new. Everyone there, Jane the manager, Luis and Hunter at the reception and Sam, Josue and Teddy on the training staff make you feel special. The ace housekeeping staff keeps the place immaculate. But for me, the brightest star at this gym is Abdias (Ab). I've been working with him for six months and it's one of the best decisions I ever made. Ab is charming and entertaining, but also demanding. His workouts are challenging but he keeps them moving briskly and makes them fun. My time at TMPL - Avenue A is a highlight of my week.

I recently became a member and loved everything they had to offer from the start. The location itself is stunning, well kept, with state of the art machines. I also just wanted to shout out William who helped me during my first visit and answered all of my questions professionally and thoroughly! He and the staff were so friendly and that makes all the difference! So lucky to have found this gym!

Super excited to start with this gym. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Definitely check out this location if you are thinking of transferring from your current gym, their amenities and equipment far surpass their price point. Special shoutout to William, ask for him when you sign-up.

Ive been to a bunch of gyms in the neighborhood and TMPL Ave A is BY FAR the best. All equipment is brand new and you'll get to know all the trainers by name. Environment like no other - never been so motivated to go to gym. Also Sam is the best trainer in nyc and maybe the world

William Ortega exhibited excellent customer service- I signed up for a membership immediately. All staff members make the gym experience really enjoyable.

This gym was amazing!!! Jane was such a help and so nice. I told her that my friends and I were visiting and she really helped us out. The minute we walked into the gym, she was warm and welcoming. I recommend anyone that comes and visits NYC and is looking for a place to workout, go to TMPL.

Great local gym with 4 floors of equipment, clean facilities, and a friendly staff who go the extra mile. I requested a specific piece of equipment that I need for workouts that they didn’t have, and it was ordered within a month. Great price for a good NYC gym.

No fuss clean gym. The mood was always welcoming and pleasant. This is the only gym in the area with guest passes and daily passes. The gym is fully equipped, and was perfect for my calisthenics + squat workout. The assessment session was also fun - I got my body measurements, and a private physical assessment with perfect exercises that enhanced my routine - Thanks Amoudi! Overall, great experience, good gym, would work out there again, highly recommend!

Gym is packed with a TON of new equipment that is great to diversify your workout. Going to the gym, majority of the time, is not a hassle with a large crowd of people. When it is a bit packed, everyone is very respectful and allows others to get their workouts in properly. Staff have been very respectful and always help me out with anything I may need with my account.

Great gym. Brand new machines, lots of weights, and fantastic staff. The front desk staff and trainers are all very friendly and welcoming. My only criticism is that the gym gets packed in the evening from 5PM-8PM. Otherwise, mornings and weekends are very manageable.

I'm so glad TMPL offers a free trial workout, because after coming in and getting to see what a clean, well-equipped, and spacious gym it is, I knew I had to join. The staff and management is incredibly friendly and they obviously work hard to make it a really great place (shoutout Lamar, the GM, for taking the time to give us a tour around the whole gym). Especially compared to the other gyms in the neighborhood (and Manhattan in general), there's so much more space and way less people. All of the machines seem new and really high quality, plus they definitely have something for everyone (tons of options for lifting, cardio, and/or group fitness). Can't say enough good things!!

I had an amazing experience joining TMPL on Ave A. I recently moved to the city and found TMPL to be the #1 place I felt comfortable and welcome 24/7. I worked with a trainer (Daniel) and ended up progressing a ton in the weight room! I could not recommend this gym more. The front desk greets you by first name every single day and always puts a smile on my face. I won’t use any other gym in NYC.

Great gym! Super friendly staff, very clean and new equipment. All around great vibes.

Had some issues with a credit card on my membership and they were very understanding. Clean gym with good equipment. The manager Lamar was especially helpful in getting me sorted out

Wonderful gym, very clean, the staff was professional, I would highly recommend, it was a better experience than equinox. Eric Del Valle gave a great tour of every floor and explained equipment use, thank you!

This Gym is very complete, very spacious, clean and brand new equipment. Staff is very friendly and helpful, overall I feel like the price I pay for the membership is a good investment of my money. Super recommended!!

Just signed up in person today and am so excited to have a new home gym. The facilities are extremely clean and the equipment is brand new. Every staff member I interacted with was extremely kind and welcoming. I worked out on a rainy day at rush hour and it wasn’t too crowded. This is definitely a hidden gem in the neighborhood and I’m so glad I found it.

Amazing gym, one of the best in the city. Staff are awesome and the gym has everything you could need. Highly recommend.

Ashly is amazing. So kind and knows what she is talking about. Recommend her to anyone I send over to the gym.

Amazing gym, Steven the manager was very kind and helpful. Highly recommend !

Steven was so easy going nice and helpful. Come back anytime !

Today I met my trainer Sam at the Avenue A location. I normally workout at the 53rd street location. Since it was my first time, he met me at the bus stop and made sure to walk me back to the bus after we were done so I didn’t get lost. When I walked in I was greeted by the front desk, I think his name was Luis. He had a huge smile and asked if it was my first time here. The gym was clean and everyone was so friendly. I would highly recommend the Ave A location and Sam my trainer.

Amazing service

The best! I just joined the Avenue A TMPL location after living in the East village for 8 years and I can’t believe I am just finally discovering how great it is. There is something for everyone on every floor. It’s clean and everyone is so friendly. If you’re looking to join, ask for Steven! :)

If only this place was 24/7. Amazing experience

I wish i could put 10 stars

This gym is amazing. Great vibes and great staff. I recommend this gym anyone in the area.

I want to give a shout to the gym templ on avenue A. The gym is so organized. The workers are great with maintaining the facility and equipment. And the manager… I believe his name was Edwin(not sure) but he is definitely an example of how you run a gym. Keep up the good work guys. 🙏🏽🤗🙏🏽

Edwin gave me a great overview of the gym, and even blessed me with a water bottle when ya mans got thirsty. Then, you have Roxy and Kayla at the front desk greeting me and making sure I was good whenever I passed by during my trial day. Awesome gym. Great amenities. Nice bang for your buck. With the free boxing classes, I'm able to take 2 gym memberships and consolidate it into one gym experience for the great price of $135/month. 10/10

Came to visit the city and met Scott. Had a great experience and workout for the day while I was there!

Tmpl ave a gym is the best gym I have been to. The staff welcomes you with open arms and they are so friendly and the instructor are great. The instructors give you a good workout.. The gym is very clean and spotless. I have no complaints. I feel like I am part of the family.

I love it here at TMPL! Great vibes, music selection. They offer great classes with phenomenal instructors and PT’s like Tanya. The entire facility including the locker rooms and restrooms is always immaculate, thanks to Shana and her team. The people at the front desk are always welcoming and Edwin is super professional and always available to answer any questions you’d ever have about the gym/membership etc. Also, I never feel uncomfortable working out here as a female. I can come to this gym at any point of the day and always feel safe & respected by the other regular gym members who attend this location. Everyone is pretty nice. 10/10 recommend!
