Love this place. My membership is strictly for access to the gym not for the classes. The space itself is well kept and very open. It is perfect for a workout. I enjoy the easy access into the gym, simply open the door with my cellphone and get to work. I go in the early mornings and usually have the space all to myself and my tunes.Also Eoghan is awesome, he designed specific strength programs to improve my strength for my jujitsu training. I have nothing but positive things to say about Uptown Movement it is a really great place with wonderful people.

Uptown Movement is a truly exceptional gym! There is simply a different philosophy here -- it is all about learning and growing and progressing with the support of the gym community around me. Instructors know their stuff, and they know how to teach! Classes are small and really well-structured which allows for specific individual feedback and encouragement. The progression of classes ensures that the work I'm doing is most appropriate and beneficial. I feel like I have a team working with me -- one that shares my goals of health, wellness, and longevity and has the expertise to help me get there. I am really grateful to have found a gym where I can work hard, have fun, and trust the process.

Uptown Movement is truly a great neighborhood gym. All the instructors are knowledgeable, experienced and caring. In the 2 years of taking the group classes I have always felt that I was getting personalized pointers and attention, which has helped me go from newbie with no endurance and a computer neck to someone who loves working out and has finally made it a habit. The gym has a welcoming and inclusive culture, and the owner Eoghan finds a way to offer value and growth to all kinds of people, from total beginners to accomplished athletes.

I’ve been having an excellent experience with Uptown Movement! Everyone at the gym is very friendly and the instructors make effort to get to know you, whether it’s your first class or you attend their class often. The way the gym has their classes structured is challenging in a good way and keeps you coming back for more!

Amazing gym— great coaches and positive atmosphere. No matter where you may be in your fitness journey, Uptown Movement will help you meet your fitness goals. The gym is spacious and even has an outdoor space for outdoor workouts. I would recommend this gym to anyone living uptown and serious about establishing a fitness routine.

Hands down the best gym I’ve ever joined. Incredible trainers, wonderful owner. It’s a truly inclusive, welcoming and supportive community with outstanding facilities. I wish every gym were like this gym. Cheers to Eoghan and the Uptown Movement family!

Truly phenomenal gym with knowledgeable coaches. The space itself is outfitted with a great variety of quality equipment, and there's a thoughtfully designed outdoor space with equipment for use on warmer days. I can't rave enough about the personalized experience within group trainings. Coaches are supportive and attentive - they take the time to provide additional support and modifications where needed. I've learned so much about the importance of mobility, slowing down, and mastering foundational movement patterns when lifting. The community at Uptown Movement is kind, encouraging, and inclusive. I highly recommend!

Uptown Movement is the best gym in the Inwood community. A true judgement-free zone, with friendly and approachable staff/members that make the environment the most welcoming and supportive. It is a well equipped space where you can enjoy all different types of training. The trainers are very knowledgeable and truly care about the members, even the ones they don’t train themselves. After doing personal training and using the open gym, I can definitely say uptown movement and the trainer I worked with (Alex) elevated my training and will 100% recommend it for anyone thinking about signing up!

I have been looking for a gym like this for ten years in NYC, let alone in the neighborhood I live. Uptown Movement has the BEST trainers and philosophy for training I’ve ever been to, with its focus on education and community. You can be a total beginner or have a lifetime of exercise and you’ll be inspired to improve your healthful movement. A gym like this ANYWHERE I’ve been is completely inaccessible financially but not here. You’ll pay slightly more than planet fitness or Blink but you will be INSPIRED, injury free, encouraged, and may make a few friends along the way. Do yourself a favor and try this gym for a month. You’ll never go anywhere else again.

Uptown Movement is a treasure. An oasis of calm strength, of "brains over brute", of caring and attentive coaches. They will develop a love of movement, cultivate your respect and awe of your body, and make you the smartest-strongest version of yourself! and it's extremely reasonably priced.

I’ve been a member of Uptown Movement for almost a year now and this is by far the best gym I’ve ever belonged to. The trainers are knowledgeable, welcoming and so helpful. The classes are a great mix of stretching, body movement and weights. Highly recommend anyone in the uptown area to join!

Great gym with everything I wanted while I lived in the area. Everyone I met there was great, they had 5 squat racks (including 2 outdoor), and plenty of other equipment. Stuff was constantly being added while I was member too. Eoghan was always responsive and flexible when I needed something. Great experience overall!

Love this gym! I have been to going to a commercial gym for years, but never got the benefit I received at this gym. The instructors are all very nice and experienced. They correct your postures and push you to the limit. I can never return to commercial gyms again. Awesome experience so far!

Uptown movement is a really dope space. Having both indoor and outdoor access, an easy to manage scheduling system and their coaches are all friendly.
