David Barton Gym

David Barton Gym

With a class bearing the name “Pain & Pleasure” and a promise to “get your ASSets in order,” the David Barton Gym has revolutionized the New York workout scene since 1992. By offering up to nine classes a day, the David Barton Gym allows you to fit a killer workout in your even more killer schedule. Not to mention, the gym’s four New York locations boast decor that will take a bit of the pain out of your gain. Most iconically, the gym’s Limelight location on the border of Chelsea and the Flatiron district offers a literal sanctuary for members. Originally built as an Episcopal church in the mid-1800s and then briefly transformed to a nightclub, Limelight’s original architecture and stained glass windows are just the push one may need to wake up for a 7 am class. Avoid the $115 membership cost by getting your first class free. Oh, did I mention the treadmills stream Netflix? Sign me up.
