Absolute Power Gym

"Absolute Power has the potential to be a fantastic gym, but a few key improvements are needed. As paying members, we contribute to a maintenance fee, so there’s no excuse for these ongoing issues. First, all the weights should be replaced with those that have rubber casings. The current weights are excessively loud, and long-term exposure to this noise could seriously damage members' hearing. This is a fundamental health and safety concern. It's also inexcusable that the staff trainers here constantly drop their weights loudly without any consideration for members. Next, the sanitizer stations are impractical. Switching to wipes would be much better for everyone. The sprays used now release vapors that aren’t good for the air quality, and constantly breathing them in isn’t safe for members. Additionally, the restroom doors need to be replaced with heavier ones equipped with springs. This would prevent the doors from swinging into someone's face—a basic fix that could prevent accidents. You take our money for maintenance every year, so it’s time to start making these changes. Fixing these issues would elevate the gym experience significantly."

"Dropped in yesterday, this is easily the grossest gym I have ever seen. There is dirt and grime everywhere, the equipment is old and dusty, and nobody is wiping down the equipment after use. Additionally it’s extremely crowded during peak hours, only 3 squat racks and every machine is on top of one another. The one positive is that there is a lot of equipment, it’s just all old and gross. Basically a gas station restroom with workout equipment. Cannot recommend avoiding enough."

"Absolute has been my home gym for 2 years. It couldn’t ask for a better gym — has every piece of weight equipment (with duplicates), and is never overcrowded even during rush hour times (ex. I never have to wait for any equipment including squat rack). The people are all super great with good gym etiquette. I’m a big runner, and the downstairs turf room is perfect for polymeric and pt-type workouts as well. The cardio area being a dedicated upstairs with big windows and TVs is a huge plus for me. And the staff is always super friendly and personable - something you don’t get a big chain gyms. Better than Eauinox! 10/10"

"Best gym I've ever been a member at. Great equipment and super welcoming atmosphere. I've been going here for a year and a half and couldn't be happier. Super reasonably priced as well, especially by NYC standards."

"It's a great gym at a phenomenal price!! Everyone there is very friendly, plus the owner goes above and beyond to make sure the experience is consistently great. Even when it is peak busy hour I really didn't think it was that busy. Have no complaints!"
