Gertrude Ederle Recreation Center

"Great ping pong tables. Can request paddles with ID card. Enjoyed the exercise classes very much."

"This gym is good for a workout in the neighborhood i live in the area and think NYC parks & Recreation need to upgrade the equipment and get the broken equipment fixed in a timely manner it has been months that im attending , and 5 machines broken its disappointing and the members deserve better & overall quality & working treadmills and bikes.."

"It's relatively clean and accessible...I go for the swimming pool...I signed up for six months just to see if it works for me...It would be better for me if they were open on Sunday, as well, but I'm basically satisfied...Note: this is "no frills", so bring your own toiletries (bath soap/shower gel, shampoo/hair products, etc) and towel...There are showers and lockers, and it wasn't crowded during the times that I went (again, I just go for the pool, but there are other activities and classes)...Still a great deal (oh, and the membership is good for all the NYC recreation centers)...Much less expensive than a low to mid-range gym without a pool..."

"Very affordable facility. They have a huge indoor pool with dedicated hours for lap swimming for adults. The lifeguards are very attentive. The locker room is not the fanciest but it’s always being cleaned by a staff person. Hours are great. If you are coming from far away, call ahead to see if they are open. They would sometimes close the pool for maintenance and not post the closure on the website."

"A complete gym with swimming pool, workout center, fitness rooms, basketball court for those that don’t want to spend a fortune at a competitor for gym basics. Annual membership fees are close to what you would pay for one month at a leading high end gym in the area. With the price will definitely be sacrifices to amenities such as no towels and not as much gym equipment so there might be a wait to use the machines."
