This is one of the best gyms in the city hands down. The facilities are new and well maintained, and there's plenty of equipment, but that's not what makes it stand out. What makes this THE gym to join if you're looking is the trainers and group training classes. Whether your goal is to lose weight or get buff or work through an injury the staff and the classes here will make that happen. Join!

This is the best gym I have ever been to. Never crowded, can go any time. Tons of squat racks and areas to do functional/hiit workouts. If you are living in Williamsburg skip Equinox, Vital and grind house. You can't beat this place.

I have been going to Brooklyn Athletic Club for 3 weeks now and really love it. I had been working out in my small apartment's gym and wanted a full-service gym with more barbells and equipment to do more compound lifts. I met with Paul (the head trainer) and asked about personal training. After hearing my goals, Paul suggested I do semi-private training as it was much less expensive and he thought I would get more out of it. I greatly appreciate the fact that Paul consciously thought about how he could save me money while achieving all my goals. I have been going BAC and doing the semi-private training for 3 weeks now and I can only say positive things. I feel very confident in all my heavy lifts, and feel the training I have received is top notch. Particularly, Paul and Bravo are amazing trainers, very encouraging, and make me excited to wake up at 5:30 for a 6am training session. The gym has a very close-knit community feel. All the other clients in the semi-private training are very nice and everyone encourages you. It is also great to see Larry, the owner, there at all times. He will always throw in his own encouragement even if he isn't personally training. Anyone who is serious about getting fit should consider BAC.

Incredible space, amazing community, and supportive trainers. I have been a proud member for over 4 years and it is hands down the best gym experience I have ever had. The facility is fantastic - open floor plan, infrared saunas, and rooftop yoga - but it's the people that make this place so special. Larry and his team are the kindest and most considerate people you will find in this industry and being a part of this community has driven me to completely re-think my relationship with working out (I left crossfit for BAC and never looked back).

This gym is full on in the best sense. They have classes for a wide range of fitness levels. They have equipment and space for serious lifters and beginner gym goers. As a transgender person I wasn’t sure how comfortable I would be going to this gym. I’ve been coming for a year now and feeling pretty at home and most recently decided to learn how to weight lift with John who is a super good trainer. I highly recommend this gym, its clean and professional which is essential.

I’ve been a member at Brooklyn Athletic Club for the past year and it’s been the best gym I’ve had since living in New York for the past 7 years. If you’re a weightlifter that appreciates no frills, good machines, and an open gym which is rarely busy enough that you need to wait for anything, Brooklyn athletic club is for you! The staff over the past year have also been extremely friendly, allowing for easy pauses of your membership for months you’re traveling outside of New York. I would highly recommend BAC!

The best gym, equipment, and community in NYC. Have been going here for 18 months and still look forward to it each day. Paul, Bravo, Azuka, Taylor, Gavin, Matt, and the rest of the staff are all extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable.

In my opinion, the best gym in the entire area—clean and well organized. But the best part of all is the staff who work there; they make you feel right at home. 5 stars for Jose, always willing to help by explaining the machines and exercises. A perfect 10. Congratulations, guys ❤️
