TMPL Fitness - Avenue A

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!

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!!

Something about this gym is just right. Unlike other gyms nearby, TMPL doesn’t feel overpacked and cramped, or cold and uninviting. Anyone can feel comfortable here, and the staff and trainers all have great chemistry. And as other reviewers have said, there is a very wide range of equipment that is all new and modern and well-designed. Something is just right and well-balanced about TMPL. In a saturated market, it’s probably the Goldilocks of gyms.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
