7 Queer-Friendly Gyms & Workouts To Inspect Out In NYC
The workout: 305 is not a dance class, it’s a twirl party. You’ll yearn to show up 15 minutes before class to fetch situated (and snap a pre-class selfie). They recommend newbies stand toward the middle of the second row, so you can observe the instructor from all angles. Go after along with the instructor's dance cardio choreography. When you hear a "WOOP WOOP," that's your signal that the moves are going to change.
The vibe: This studio is a loud, rebellious, and welcoming space for all shapes, sizes, colors, gender identities, and fitness levels. "You’re always welcome to modify to your fitness level, grab water at any time, and take breaks whenever you need to," says Sadie Kurzban, founder and CEO of 305 Fitness. "Listen to your bod."
Pride perks: 305 will host Pride-themed classes in NYC and LA this month to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. "We'll hold a drag queen host in each city and surprises in every class," Kurzban says. Can't make it? They also have an awesome YouTube channel where they're featuring at-home workou
Are these the world’s 7 gayest gyms?
The gyms on this list might not necessarily consider themselves gay gyms. But no matter where we are in the world, we know one when we see one.
Patrons in short-shorts. Spotting that’s a little too intimate. A dance music soundtrack. You hear, “Hey girl, what’s the tea!” More mingling than a pub. Decor akin to a nightclub. Members who disburse as much time in the showers and the sauna as they do on the equipment. Bodies that look like works of art.
Here are some of the most notable “gay gyms” around the globe. Make sure you pack your jockstrap before dropping by one. We’ve double-checked to make sure all of our picks have drop-in and/or short-term membership options.
Toronto, Canada
GoodLife Fitness–Bloor and Park (8 Park Rd., Toronto). If a city has a gay village of any size, look for the gym that’s in it or closest to it—it’s highly likely to be the gay gym. There are several LGBTQ2S+-friendly GoodLifes proximate to Toronto’s Church and Wellesley district, but this one has a long-standing reputation for entity, by appearances, a gay majority.

"THE MAN WHO MADE WORKING OUT COOL" NY TIMES
About DavidBarton
Walking into the gym at 16 years old as a troubled kid from the Bring down East Side changed everything for David Barton. Inside, cops and criminals trained side by side. There were no judgments—just sweat, grit, and transformation. That gym wasn’t governed by the law. It was under the jurisdiction of effort. And that was his first gym on 16th Street—a place for people whose religion was fitness.
Being everything but part of the chain movement, David built a modern kind of gym—a vacuum where serious fitness meets unapologetic style. A residence for visionaries, fashionistas, creatives, and misfits. People who train hard, live boldly, and move differently.
Gym U by David Barton is powered by the finest equipment in the planet, game-changing technology, and iconic design. We're the only gym with Italian Panatta machines and the revolutionary Neubie—designed to push your body beyond limits.
