The definition of a New York City apartment building gym can range wildly from a room in the basement with a lonely treadmill and set of weights to a top floor aerie with city views and a plethora of shiny new equipment. In honor of the Rio 2016 Olympic games, we’re devoting this week’s column to buildings that take the concept of fitness to ever-greater heights. Whether or not your dreams include medal-level feats of achievement, these training facilities have you covered.

This two-bedroom, two-bath condo in the Gramercy Starck at 340 East 23rd Street ($1.999 million) offers access to this 2,600-square-foot fitness center with sauna and steam room; a full-floor lounge with outdoor terrace, screening room, and billiards room; and a landscaped roof deck with river and city views and cabanas—because even elite athletes need time to rest and recover after an intense workout.
