Get into swimsuit shape in 7 NYC rentals in fitness-friendly buildings

Despite the mayoral call to “make NYC your gym,” finding a workable workout routine in this city can be an uphill battle. After a day of work, hustling to your fitness facility of choice is exhausting in and of itself, to say nothing of jockeying with other gym members for the prime equipment. Fortunately, more and more of New York’s new luxury rental buildings are being built with in-house gyms, saunas, yoga classes, bike storage, and more fitness-friendly features to match even the most top of the line athletic clubs around the city.

And the folks at The Agency have made it easier than even to land your dream apartment—and dream amenities.

A tech-savvy brokerage with a user friendly site, The Agency eschews many of the usual inconveniences associated with the typical brokerage, paying brokers based on client satisfaction, and streamlining the search to give you access to the same listings the pros are searching. Why email dozens of different brokers when you can schedule appointments on the The Agency website and visit all of your favorite apartments through a single agent that you’ll meet face to face?

Once you’ve set your sites, The Agency keeps the perks coming, with exclusive deals on moving companies, cleaners, delivery services and more. In keeping with the firm's ethical ethos, The Agency donates a portion of every brokerage fee to the housing charity Rebuilding Together NYC, so for each person they help find a home, a family in need can stay in theirs.

This week, The Agency’s experts have picked out some of the sweetest apartments in the city for runners, lifters, bikers, swimmers... or however you get your blood pumping:

Above: Located on the Upper West Side, The Ashley is an ultra-modern building outfitted with everything a fitness junkie could wish for. Enjoy top of the line cardio and weight machines in a huge gym with hardwood floors, a lap pool, squash and basketball courts, bowling alley, golf simulator, and a rock climbing wall. Stretch out with private rooms for yoga and pilates, or relax in the sauna, steam room and multiple hot tubs. A one-bedroom, one-bath unit in the building comes with abundant storage space for your own weights or treadmill, and slick appliances like an in-unit washer and dryer, as well as a chef’s kitchen with ceaserstone quartz countertops. $2,800/ month. See more or make an appointment >>

 

Above: This luxury studio in Dumbo is perfect for fitness buffs seeking a home on the waterfront. The beautifully designed gym is decked out with the state of the art machines, and the building offers ample space in its bicycle storage rooms—perfect, considering the building is located right next to Brooklyn Bridge park! The unit features a full kitchen, walk-in closet and floor to ceiling windows that look onto the East River and the skyscrapers of Lower Manhattan. $2,838/ month. See more or make an appointment >>

 

Above: When both your apartment and your in-building gym offer views of the Manhattan skyline and state-of-the-art features, you've got plenty of excuses to be a homebody, but zero excuses to skip your workout. This one-bedroom in the heart of Long Island City has it all, including a huge walk-in closet and full-service kitchen. Just steps from your bed you’ll have access to two pools, spin classes (above), all the latest weight and cardio gear, a sauna, plus yoga and pilates rooms to boot. $3,300/ month. See more or make an appointment >>

 

Above: Few things appeal to the healthy heart more than a romantic bike ride through Tribeca. Fortunately, this two bedroom, two bath comes with a specialized bicycle storage room once it’s time to wrap up your ride, head upstairs and enjoy your floor-to-ceiling windows, walk-in closet and designer finishes. The top of the line gym and separate stretching/yoga rooms are decked out with large windows, as well, providing energizing natural light for your sweat sessions. $6,235/ month. See more or make an appointment >>

 

Above: Equinox is one of the city's most in-demand athletic clubs, and with both a gym and basketball court custom designed by the high-end fitness company, the Midtown West luxury building MiMa is an ideal place to live and play in style. The building also features a heated indoor heated lap pool, volleyball court and bike storage facilities. The alcove studio unit faces north toward Central Park, and has an open kitchen that's ideal for entertaining, as well as floor-to-ceiling windows and an in-home washer and dryer. $3,995/ month. See more or make an appointment >>

 

If you work in finance, it’s crucial to have easy access to other forms of stress-relief than Wall Street’s plentiful, admittedly excellent happy hours. The fitness facilities at 45 Wall Street feature cardio machines with personal televisions, a separate weight room, private basketball courts, bike storage and a ping pong room. Upstairs, this big, amply lit studio apartment is a luxury charmer with its marble kitchen, breathtaking views, high ceilings and massive closet. $2,600/ month. See more or make an appointment >>


The Agency is a technology-enabled real estate brokerage that is the refreshingly simple way for New Yorkers to buy, sell and rent apartments.
