This gym is terrible. I’ve only had negative experiences with the front desk staff being rude and incompetent. I took one of their Hyrox classes and the instructor couldn’t clearly articulate the workout and just constantly yelled for the sake of yelling without saying anything meaningful. He was also unhelpful not moving things out of the way or correcting bad form. Truly added zero value to the workout. If you’re thinking of trying a class I’d recommend not going here. There are much better gyms in the city than this one.
I was in NYC for only 5 days and wanted to have at least one good HYROX sesh. I chose TTL almost by chance and was more than lucky with my choice! Alexis put together a super workout and she‘s got energy enough to motivate an army! Changing rooms have everything one needs, towels, shower and hairdryer as well as modern lockers with code (no need for 🔒). Hope to see you at an european HYROX💪
I travel often between Toronto and New York, and anyone who travels frequently knows how difficult it can be to find a solid gym. To put some perspective on this review, I’m a serious lifter of 16 years with a routine that consists of bodybuilding and Muay Thai, so I’m used to pushing myself as hard as I can. The intensity at The Training Lab (TTL) is unlike anything I’ve experienced. Their programming is incredibly well thought out, and the exercises they put you through just make sense. While I’ve only trained with Daria, Jose, and Reuben, every instructor brings their own unique style and approach to the table, so you’re never stuck doing the same routines over and over. You can tell they genuinely love what they do. The pace is non-stop, and the trainers will call you out if they see you trying to take shortcuts. Because of that, you want to respect them and push yourself beyond what you think you can do. Ten minutes into every class (which is basically just the warmup), I ask myself why I keep signing up to get my ass kicked, but by the end, I’m already looking forward to the next session. In addition to their training programs, their facility also includes a recovery lounge which to me is the highlight of TTL. It consists of two cold plunges, a sauna and a variety of other recovery equipment. It’s a truly special facility and something I wish I had out here in Toronto. I do have to be objective and provide some criticism/feedback. The music selection at times was very odd and did not fit the entire vibe. I’m not sure who thought throwing Taylor Swift into the mix was a good idea, but man did that throw me off and cause me to lose focus. I appreciate variety and different genres, but there’s a time and place for certain songs. If you’re someone who wants a challenge and wants to test how far they can push themselves then you NEED to come here - no negotiation. It goes without saying that training here will be part of my daily routine every time I’m in NYC. Ps: quick shoutout to one of the owners, Daria. She went out of her way to accommodate me (an out-of-towner). Her and her boyfriend Peter are some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet as they made me feel welcomed right from the jump.
Found the gym through ClassPass but was sad to see I was only allowed to take one class. I really enjoyed the “trading day” cardio class on a Tuesday morning. The format was great, the pace was challenging, the instructor was clear yet motivating, had good form and demo’d what we needed to do, and overall made the class fun! We had a good number of people but we were spread out and it did not feel crowded. I was also happy to see they have a good variety of equipment Hope to go back soon and try out their other classes.
Took a class here recently to use remaining ClassPass credits. Liked the vibe and the sweaty hour working out. The only thing was that some dumbbells were by the window which I didn’t notice and they would have been better for my rows. Also, the sequence had too many pull-ups imho (20 alternate with 10 assault bike cal amrap within 10 mins). Switched to negative and banded pull-ups as 20 strict pull-ups at a time seems to be too much. Impressive gym and selection of equipment, but no open gym time here and within a class there’s a limited number of exercises - you either like them or don’t. Pricing high or on par with other bfxs
