Atlantis Sports Club

There isn’t actually a pool. It’s been gone for years, though their website still includes a schedule and advertising for it!

Great gym, great location! Perfect for my lunch-​time or after-​work excercise

I used to train here when I lived in the city. Very affordable, plenty of equipment and a great staff! Oftentimes there’s complimentary fruit and fruit infused water. Towels are always available. There are lockers to rent long term as well as free daily lockers. The location is central to everything with the B, D, E train right outside the door and the Q, R, N just two blocks away. Central Park is a short walk as well. I always stop in when I’m in town for a workout and to catch up with the staff!

Okay, it’s been 2 weeks since I started going to this gym. I got a Tippr offer and decided to give it a try after reading the reviews.
The other reviews are correct in that the locker room is tiny. It’s a bit hard to change here but it’s doable. There aren’t that many lockers in the locker room itself but there are a whole bunch of lockers that are in the weight room. So it’s out in the open and good for anyone that doesn’t need to use the locker room but just needs a place to keep their stuff.
The facilities are relatively clean and although I do wish the towels were in the locker rooms, I can live with them being by the front door. They also have some amenities like shampoo, conditioner, lotion, mouthwash if you need it.
The equipment are all pretty much brand new and the environment in the cardio room is pretty nice with hardwood floors and the non-​fluorescent. There aren’t that many cardio machines but I never really waited to use one. If all the treadmills were taken, I’d hop onto an elliptical instead. However, I will say that this gym has probably gotten more crowded over the last couple of weeks. From what I understand, in addition to the Tippr offer, there was also an offer on Groupon. When I was signing up, there was a bit of a line of people filling out paperwork and checking the gym out.
Yes, the pool is across the street in the Manhattan hotel but I have yet to check that out yet so I can’t review that portion of it. So far, it’s down the street from my workplace and after the gym, it’s easy to hop on a train bound for home so I’ve been liking my experience here so far.

I’ve been a member of this gym for about eight months now. Aside from a locker room, which is a bit cramped, this gym is pretty top notch. Unlike a lot of other midtown gyms, which are body-​to-​body and super-​crowded, I’ve never had a problem getting a cardio machine here and depending on when you go, you might be the only person in the gym, which is pretty sweet. The staff is pretty friendly. The machines are new. And the place is pretty clean. What more could you want?

I received a special offer to join and since it was a low commitment situation, and I needed a local gym, I went for it. The first thing to note is that the gym is located in two different hotels. Everything except the pool and sauna is the downstairs area of the Sheraton Hotel. The other stuff is at the Manhattan hotel across the street. Is that weird. Sure it is.
But I will say that as a result, this gym is rarely crowded, especially when — as a local person — you’d like to use it, i.e. the weekend. During the week, it is busy from the Sheraton hotel guests — primarily business folks — using the downstairs gym. However, the $ 10 service charge for hotel guests is enough of a deterrent to cheap-​o business travelers. I’ve never had an issue getting a treadmill and the crowd generally minds their own business (i.e. this is not a pick-​up joint type of gym).
I would say they get 3 stars rather than 4 or 5 for a reason. They have decent, new equipment, plenty of treadmills, cycles, and decent gear in the weight room. There are a few classes in the morning and evening. Towels are very well-​stocked. The bathrooms are fairly clean. The ladies room is stocked with the typical amenities (shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash, moisturizer, etc). The lockers are a good size and you can usually get one.
There are a few details here and there that make you go, hmph… things like, why aren’t their towels in the bathroom where you would want them. Also, I think they could use an additional staff member to keep up better with the bathrooms, during peak hours. It’s overall quite clean though and I really enjoy my experience. The water coolers are often empty. They recently added a fruit enriched jug of water, which I think is a nice touch. However, that often becomes empty quickly as well. I generally bring my own bottle and they have bottled water for sale as well.
Overall, it’s not as nice as Equinox, but you pay a lot more for equinox, particularly for the ones with a pool. The people are pleasant nad helpful, but they could use a few more staff members during peak hours as it’s an unfair situation for anyone who’s trying to provide good service in a gym with that sort of traffic.
I’m primarily a runner and use the park rather than the gym most of the time. This place is perfect for me. As for pools, it’s well located. If you want a more trendy, full service place, then pony up for Equinox or Reebox Sports Club.
