The worst gym doesn’t even compare to the first gym I went to. It had dark orange lights, plaster and drywall falling all over, each room was tiny and dark, some random spots of water on the floor but it had weights. Got the job done for a whopping $10 per month, unlimited use. They gave you a key. It definitely had character.
I used to frequent A rather old YMCA in Elmhurst, IL. The free weights were in a space in the basement shared with the boiler. A bench or two, squat rack, dumbbells, leg extensions you performed with iron "shoes" that used attached to the bottom of your actual shoes. It had character.
Mine literally a size of a car garage, one equipment each (except the bench press are 3), only have the smith machine and no leg equipment. Honestly the only problem I have with it is that I cant do any barbell deadlift.
I went this this "worst gym" for 4 years and it wasn't the equipment that made the most difference, it was the people that were around me. We were there at the same time each morning before work and that kept me going back every day learning, growing getting those gains.
As a personal trainer at one of the top Equinox gyms in a major US city I can relate to the Chelsea Piers gym. The main reason the memberships are on the 'higher end' is because the gym is meant for people to spend the day there, and even have work areas for the nomad/remote workers. Well worth it if you can afford it and fitness is a cornerstone in your life.
I would honestly spend all day at the Chelsea gym, especially if I pay that much a month for it!! Also, I heavily relate to that "violently American" statement about the pizza. Makes it difficult to get some quality food at times going out with friends or those nights that I am beyond tired to bother cooking
I used to coach swimming at Chelsea Piers at their Stamford CT location before Covid. Those gyms are so insanely nice and have so much to do so people spend the day there. Most of my clients were software engineers and remote workers with higher incomes so the price was always justified. I’d join if I didn’t live far away
The only problem is if you work full time add an actual workplace it just doesn't seem plausible to pay $300 a month to work out at a gym. The planet fitness I go to I only pay $12 a month and it's actually pretty clean and they pretty much have everything you need there to build your body. I'm someone that doesn't need all that extra fancy crap since I won't be using most of it. The only thing I would rather spend a lot of money on is my car. Lmao.
Recently found out about your channel and I gotta say you're the only fitness channel I actually watch for entertainment purposes. Everything's perfect; the camera work, the pacing, the video ideas and the subtle jokes to keep the viewer engaged at all times. Appreciate the content a lot keep up the good work
@@0415pain in 15 years i have watched youtube and i never left a comment ever on any video, but i just felt like now was the time to say, that i agree as well.
@@danielhansen3504 That's actually really wholesome. It's always nice when a great content creator breaks you out of their shell because their work is that good.
That Retro Fitness was my gym in college because I was living on Wall Street. I loved the gym and the people there. Also, the sauna hotness mixed with the lighting made for some crazy pictures.
the best gym I have been to was probably a non-chain type of gym with rusty equipment but had true body builders in it. I worked the afternoon shift at my job those days so I was in there daily at 9 or 10 AM, working out with only 5 or 6 people in there, it was awesome, best results I had working out.
Been away from the gym for 8 weeks because of a lower back injury, but your videos at least gives me some motivation to be back at some point. It's hard to see an end but the videos cheer me up. Keep it up Will!
As someone who had a lower back injury the worst thing you can do is to not workout. You need to stay active. Go on walks frequently, stand, squat, and move through the pain.
@@ArthurMorgansDeadHorse I've gotten my 13-15k steps in for all weeks, every day. Been stretching for APT each morning and night. Been trying everything. Also have gotten acupuncture from a physio for 5 weeks now, so 5x times in total. It's getting better and better but shit takes ages. Deadlifts are the worst, and I'll never go weight > form again...
@@ArthurMorgansDeadHorse yep had herniated disc surgery from rugby. When I tense up I stay moving around no matter how much it hurts. But ever since I started doing hip thrust in my leg day workouts. My back has been feeling great
just found your channel a couple days ago and have been binge watching your videos. I love your personality, and you are super informative. My favorite channel at the moment!
I don’t understand why people who will blow a bunch of money going out for dinner/drinks/partying, will shame people for paying for a nice gym membership. If you really care about fitness and health then I think Chelsea Piers is definitely worth it
I think, mainly, the nose pinching has to do with people who don't take fitness seriously and blow money on something they won't use. I agree with you, however. Like any hobby that you have a passion for. You should always aim for the best that it has to offer.
I work out at a gym that looks like sh*t on the surface level, but they have lots of weights, high quality (although a bit old) machines and everyone including the staff is really nice and serious about working out. They're also open 24/7. I tried a fancy gym once but it was full of kale salads and elderly women. There were barely any wights and the machines were all digital. It felt more like a nursing home spa than a gym.
I know the "worst" gym although not that location. Since it's a franchise, the quality of the gym depends on the owner. The one in my city is the best gym I've ever been to, but then again the owner is really responsive. I actually left a five-star review once, mentioning how chill people were about sharing squat racks. He thanked me on the review, then again in person when I went to the gym, adding that they would be putting in new squat racks soon. Two weeks later, they were there. Management is everything. NYC pizza is weird. Locals like greasy and thin crust with cheese only. So that may have been the disconnect.
I always think i’m the only Dutch viewer for some reason, been here since way back.. Would like to see Will travel to European countries as well, specifically the Netherlands ofcourse ;)
I audibly laughed a few times haha. Your videos have sparked something in me that nothing else has. I'm currently 4 days in to a calorie deficit and not as hungry as I thought I would be because of your video about things people do wrong while trying to lose weight. Thank you so much brother. Keep up the great work
@@dark8ytcryolophos311 It's all relative. I understand that's a bit of money to some people, but it's trivial for others. Likewise some people don't care about service, equipment selection, sports areas, etc. And some do. So if you're someone who values any of those things and also makes decent money, this place is an absolute win
I a lot of people in NYC are paying 650-700 a month for a closet barely big enough for a bed that doesn't even have its own bathroom. A gym like Chelsea has a bunch of people that spend most of their free time there outside of working out, and a ton of areas for them to just chill on their phone or laptop or hang out with friends. It ends up being a lot cheaper for many than having a full apartment in the area, and sometimes they even work out there a little.
Oh my god the fitness director at the Chelsea gym is exactly what you'd expect the fitness director at the Chelsea gym to look like. The way he talks too " you look pretty.. pretty stacked" I'm dead.
225/month is a steal for that gym. esspecially when you consider how small most peoples homes are in New York. This gym would bring huge quality of life.
Omg, that "worst" gym reminds me a lot of my local gym in Sweden! I live in a very small village and I'm lucky to even have a gym nearby at all. It's also in a basement level with no windows and fans instead of air conditioning, cracked walls, oddly yellow machines, and I often have it all to myself. Also the price is very similar. Differences is the gym in my village is much smaller, and there's barely any space to walk or do standing dumbbell exercises, or heck even to warm up, between the racks and machines. Also... the men's locker room only has two showers very close to each other. So if you're not alone in there, it gets kinda awkward. It's not a bad gym, imo. It has everything I need, which isn't much.
Going back and watching everything I missed since I'm a new subscriber. The "Look at him running" at 7:07 absolutely sent me. Will has a great sense of humor but for some reason that one really got me. Excellent work 😆

The Chelsea Piers Gym is seemingly worthy of the reviews it gets, it seems to have everything most gyms don't. Here in the UK, no gym that I have been to carries a boxing ring or basket ball court. That worst gym is a cesspit and not what a gym should be. Enough said. Keep up the good work man.
My favorite gyms are grimy as fuck with a good rage and amount of weights and isolation machines. I'm there to put in that work, not hang out and socialize.
Been watching you for a long time! You’re the most funny and genuine fitness TH-camr out there! Lost 30 kgs during my first fatloss then gained 10 kgs and now im cutting! Thanks for the motivation
Chelsea Piers gym is awesome; it's just hard to get to for most people in NYC. I used to live in Gramercy and rode the cross-town bus on 23rd to get there. Door-to-door was a good 30 minutes each way. So, while it pained me to cancel Chelsea Piers, I ended up going to Equinox, which was across the street from my apartment. For an everyday gym, I think a convenient location is more important than the quality of the gym.
Watching this, I now know that my intuition about gyms in Vancouver was right. Unfortunately it's sad especially in downtown. With the view and potential we have here. The price of the first one didn't seem that high for what they offer. Thanks for this video.
Will's videos are amazing but they are made immeasurably better when you envision Josh sitting at his computer editing them. Take the two white guys playing basketball bit and multiply it by Kofi filming it and Josh editing it (with the brick counter on)...☠️. Then he comes through with the clutch sound effects and voice over work. This team Will has put together is beyond entertaining. Also, Will is bigger than I thought for the algo.💪😈🤙
@@WillTennyson don't short change your genius in putting the entire team together sir. It's been a blast watching your studio grow. I mentioned it in the giant pizza episode if I'm not mistaken...you have managed to surround yourself with an amazing team. Well played💪😈🤙

Really appreciate the kind words bro. Although I think your vision of me editing it last night isn’t as glamorous as you described 😂 Pounded two monsters with the curtains drawn while choking my router so it would upload the vid faster lmao
Bro.. Will.. last 2 minutes were INTENSE. My wife and I had a long discussion of reaction time and intentions. What's scary is, real situation with real guns, that guy would have been dead. Whether it was justified or not. Talk about MENTAL! Love this man.
Hey Will I've been watching you're channel for the past few days, I got to give it too you, best channel on TH-cam, your so funny and you put a lot into your videos thanks for the cool content, I'll be sure to share
Wow I had no idea Chelsea Piers gym was so huge and cool! I was expecting him to say $500/month... I live here (in Brooklyn) and now have a new goal! xoxo
I went to a gym in Bristol city ( England ) it was underneath a hospital parking area, yes underground ! No cable machines etc, just a bench or 2 and free weights, no membership fee etc, just an honesty box which you put in whatever you could afford to, most guys just dropped in loose change each day, this was years ago, maybe knocking 18-19 years back, I can't remember the name of the place. No ego shit going on just decent low key guys wanting to strengthen up and train.
Honestly, $255/ month is not expensive; If you go every week, 4 days at least. For alot of people, they cannot afford vacations, or buy expensive stuff so spending 2-3h in this gym, probably feels amazing.
@@kookoo9235 you could say that about anything, people buy $200 shoes when $20 will do, people buy $20k+ cars when 2k will do. People spend $100 on a meal when you could spend $1. Let people spend money on what they want and stop judging lol.
I’ve been a member at both locations, along with equinox and LifeTime. While Equinox was the cleanest, well kept, big space depending on location it’s comparable in price to Chelsea Piers. Chelsea Piers isn’t the cleanest in the locker room but all of the extra stuff was so worth it.
Too bad I missed you while you were in town Will. I was lucky enough to catch Jesse. The funniest part is I used to train at the Retro Fitness that is underground in lower Manhatten. & if you were really trying to find the best Pizza 🍕 you were in the wrong borough you should have visited Brooklyn. I got you next time on the REAL NYC experience around the boroughs
225 a month? That's not even bad! And the "worst" place seems to have plenty of new clean looking equipment. Way better than lots of gyms I've paid double for.
Will, there is a reason on the "bad" gym colors. According to some studies, the red yellow combination is good, happiness but also makes you wanna get out fast. Here is a description from an expert (not me xD) Looking at the positive psychology qualities of red & yellow in relation to the fast food industry, red triggers stimulation, appetite, hunger, it attracts attention. Yellow triggers the feelings of happiness and friendliness. When you combine red and yellow it’s about speed, quickness. In, eat and out again.
There's also downside of color-forced emotions, is that it causes the opposite reaction over time the more you look at it. There was a phenomenon back then where prisons would paint their cells pink because it was believed the color pink calms people down but overtime the body rejects it because it doesn't feel natural and ends up causing more anger.
Just went to a gym that competes with basement gym. Owner was chill af, people were chill af. Mirrors on wheels to get every angle imaginable. Nice lighting and great machines and racks. Can't wait to get a membership.
Been watching you for roughly 2 years and seeing how much your content has developed and gotten better (never bad tho) is so great to witness in real time. If you ever visit Ireland, there’s a Guinness waiting for ya
Will quick video idea. If possible could you create a video on what beginners could do to increase muscle mass, especially for skinnier people trying to gain (i am increasing my calories intake). But i am soo confused at which workouts to do and what each machines to do/if i am doing it in a right form.
Dang. I would live at that big gym over in NYC. Cardio, Lifting, Boxing, Basketball, etc. Amazing. Im over in Massachusetts, so not too far away. Great Video Man. ✌️💯
My high school didn’t have a gym so we used to go to the chelsea piers one! We did the bating cages, played soccer, ran, basketball. It was so much fun!
I live in NYC but in the South Bronx the Blink is $10 and the gym is super big clean and has a lot of machines. Downside is your across the street from the projects that means afternoon gym session means going through a block packed with people loud music and the occasionally catcalls who hang by the bodega. As long as you don’t go at night when the shootouts happens especially summer you good. It has two floors and thankfully doesn’t look like the second gym you went to.
The Chelsea gym is freakin beautiful. Just love the variety of stuff that is there. I just use a basic commercial gym. If I had basketball courts, a place to try boxing (and not have to pay for a boxing gym), and all those extra things I would try so many different workout styles haha
That "bad gym" looked absolutely fine. Maybe the rumoured owner is guilty of the low star rating, and a lack of AC is certainly an issue in summer, but the gym honestly looked like a great "iron dungeon", well equipped and focused towards just training hard and getting home to recover. And the smoothie bar even had a sharply dressed bartender in it, despite not getting the flavor right. But that's probably just New York for you.
The worst gym doesn’t even compare to the first gym I went to. It had dark orange lights, plaster and drywall falling all over, each room was tiny and dark, some random spots of water on the floor but it had weights. Got the job done for a whopping $10 per month, unlimited use. They gave you a key. It definitely had character.
That sounds fucking amazing

I used to frequent A rather old YMCA in Elmhurst, IL. The free weights were in a space in the basement shared with the boiler. A bench or two, squat rack, dumbbells, leg extensions you performed with iron "shoes" that used attached to the bottom of your actual shoes. It had character.

That nice gym is totally worth the price tag. Especially if you go frequently
True though I heard NYC places like Equinox are great because they have so many. I could see this be limiting location wise compared to franchises.
You should've walked outta the bad one at the c4 can .4 seconds into going in the bad one.
Been watching you for a long time! You’re the most funny and genuine fitness TH-camr out there! Lost 30 kgs during my first fatloss then gained 10 kgs and now im cutting! Thanks for the motivation
Chelsea Piers gym is awesome; it's just hard to get to for most people in NYC. I used to live in Gramercy and rode the cross-town bus on 23rd to get there. Door-to-door was a good 30 minutes each way. So, while it pained me to cancel Chelsea Piers, I ended up going to Equinox, which was across the street from my apartment. For an everyday gym, I think a convenient location is more important than the quality of the gym.
Watching this, I now know that my intuition about gyms in Vancouver was right. Unfortunately it's sad especially in downtown. With the view and potential we have here. The price of the first one didn't seem that high for what they offer. Thanks for this video.
Yea for Vancouver I only really ever liked equinox on west Georgia.
These gym comparisons are the best Will, keep em up. You can go all over the world with this one
Will's videos are amazing but they are made immeasurably better when you envision Josh sitting at his computer editing them. Take the two white guys playing basketball bit and multiply it by Kofi filming it and Josh editing it (with the brick counter on)...☠️. Then he comes through with the clutch sound effects and voice over work. This team Will has put together is beyond entertaining. Also, Will is bigger than I thought for the algo.💪😈🤙
Agreed! Josh is really talented!
@@WillTennyson don't short change your genius in putting the entire team together sir. It's been a blast watching your studio grow. I mentioned it in the giant pizza episode if I'm not mistaken...you have managed to surround yourself with an amazing team. Well played💪😈🤙
@@WillTennyson p.s. since you're in the states already you should come stay at my place outside Dallas and get a garage gym (The Paragon's Forge) workout in with my progeny (The People's Paragon)...and his dad of course lol.
Really appreciate the kind words bro. Although I think your vision of me editing it last night isn’t as glamorous as you described 😂 Pounded two monsters with the curtains drawn while choking my router so it would upload the vid faster lmao
@@TheEditorJosh sprinkle in some witty commentary and infectious laughter and that's almost exactly what I had in mind buahahaha. 💪😈🤙
Bro.. Will.. last 2 minutes were INTENSE. My wife and I had a long discussion of reaction time and intentions.
What's scary is, real situation with real guns, that guy would have been dead. Whether it was justified or not. Talk about MENTAL! Love this man.
Hey Will I've been watching you're channel for the past few days, I got to give it too you, best channel on TH-cam, your so funny and you put a lot into your videos thanks for the cool content, I'll be sure to share
Really appreciate that Steven!
Chelsea Piers is a BEAST. I actually went there in 1998, and it was there long before. Mind blowing. Great Video! haha
Wow I had no idea Chelsea Piers gym was so huge and cool! I was expecting him to say $500/month... I live here (in Brooklyn) and now have a new goal! xoxo
In Croatia, best gym month membership costs 20 dollars
Man , im almost amazed at your talent... your videos are genius . thank you for making my life better with them :-D
Appreciate you Chris!
You should totally make Kofi do more of this challenges with you :D
Keep up the good work bro 💪🏾🔥
I just can’t, I feel like bullshit
Bot comment from fake verified bot channel
I went to a gym in Bristol city ( England ) it was underneath a hospital parking area, yes underground ! No cable machines etc, just a bench or 2 and free weights, no membership fee etc, just an honesty box which you put in whatever you could afford to, most guys just dropped in loose change each day, this was years ago, maybe knocking 18-19 years back, I can't remember the name of the place.
No ego shit going on just decent low key guys wanting to strengthen up and train.
Honestly, $255/ month is not expensive; If you go every week, 4 days at least. For alot of people, they cannot afford vacations, or buy expensive stuff so spending 2-3h in this gym, probably feels amazing.
What are you doing in the gym for 3hrs?
@@supt4305 you workout for about an hour and a half. then you go to the sauna, hot tub, and stretch. That will easily take 3 hours.
@@Jwaukechon 30-60 min drink some pre, make a game plan
60-90 min workout
60 min jacuzzi, sauna, shower
That’s what I do
If you voluntarily pay 225 a month for a gym then you are being fucked. Jesus christ.
@@kookoo9235 you could say that about anything, people buy $200 shoes when $20 will do, people buy $20k+ cars when 2k will do. People spend $100 on a meal when you could spend $1. Let people spend money on what they want and stop judging lol.
I’ve been a member at both locations, along with equinox and LifeTime. While Equinox was the cleanest, well kept, big space depending on location it’s comparable in price to Chelsea Piers. Chelsea Piers isn’t the cleanest in the locker room but all of the extra stuff was so worth it.
Too bad I missed you while you were in town Will. I was lucky enough to catch Jesse. The funniest part is I used to train at the Retro Fitness that is underground in lower Manhatten.
& if you were really trying to find the best Pizza 🍕 you were in the wrong borough you should have visited Brooklyn.
I got you next time on the REAL NYC experience around the boroughs
text now ✍️
225 a month? That's not even bad! And the "worst" place seems to have plenty of new clean looking equipment. Way better than lots of gyms I've paid double for.
Finally an f1 race isn’t playing at the time Will uploads so I can watch the video on time 🙌🏽
Went to Chelsea Pierre when I was in NY just because of this video and it was so worth it! Loved the people, loved the vibes.
Yea beautiful "curling racks" 💀😂
i was looking for this comment lol
Will, there is a reason on the "bad" gym colors. According to some studies, the red yellow combination is good, happiness but also makes you wanna get out fast. Here is a description from an expert (not me xD)
Looking at the positive psychology qualities of red & yellow in relation to the fast food industry, red triggers stimulation, appetite, hunger, it attracts attention. Yellow triggers the feelings of happiness and friendliness.
When you combine red and yellow it’s about speed, quickness. In, eat and out again.
There's also downside of color-forced emotions, is that it causes the opposite reaction over time the more you look at it. There was a phenomenon back then where prisons would paint their cells pink because it was believed the color pink calms people down but overtime the body rejects it because it doesn't feel natural and ends up causing more anger.
Will never misses. Perfect way to start a Sunday 💪🏼😌
Just went to a gym that competes with basement gym. Owner was chill af, people were chill af. Mirrors on wheels to get every angle imaginable. Nice lighting and great machines and racks. Can't wait to get a membership.

Thanks for the love and support.

I just found your channel by accident but I can't stop watching and laughing my ass off 😆
Love the content!
Great to get a sneak peak in NYC GYMS as references!
“If you do group training, do you even lift?” 😂
OMG THAT FIRST ONE THE BASKETBALL PICKUP GAMES MUST GO CRAZY!!!!!!
Been watching you for roughly 2 years and seeing how much your content has developed and gotten better (never bad tho) is so great to witness in real time. If you ever visit Ireland, there’s a Guinness waiting for ya
Will quick video idea. If possible could you create a video on what beginners could do to increase muscle mass, especially for skinnier people trying to gain (i am increasing my calories intake). But i am soo confused at which workouts to do and what each machines to do/if i am doing it in a right form.
Congratulations 🎉

Thanks Patrick 👊🏻
Came for the fitness, stayed for the humor
I love the boxing coach 🤣 "yeah buddy"
The crunch from the pizza at that Pizza shop at the end 👌, making me so hungie :'(
“If your favorite exercise is judging…”
Actually died 😂
Haven’t been to this gym but I’ve been to Chelsea piers for a dinner cruise and it is absolutely beautiful
Will really said “This is where people from Assassins Creed train”😂😂
Dang. I would live at that big gym over in NYC. Cardio, Lifting, Boxing, Basketball, etc. Amazing. Im over in Massachusetts, so not too far away. Great Video Man. ✌️💯
9:26 Kofi sounded exactl;y like the black dude in the classroom vine saying FUCK

My high school didn’t have a gym so we used to go to the chelsea piers one! We did the bating cages, played soccer, ran, basketball. It was so much fun!

Idea
You should train and eat like an Elite boxer for a day 👀
Eating and training like Canelo Álvarez
That’ll be good for a title I think
But what do I know about TH-cam 😂😂
Don’t they eat a shit ton of calories for training? 😂 that’d be fun to watch.
I live in NYC but in the South Bronx the Blink is $10 and the gym is super big clean and has a lot of machines. Downside is your across the street from the projects that means afternoon gym session means going through a block packed with people loud music and the occasionally catcalls who hang by the bodega. As long as you don’t go at night when the shootouts happens especially summer you good. It has two floors and thankfully doesn’t look like the second gym you went to.
i would love to see will check out uks gyms
bro that gym is so huge you did like 2 weight exercises on your own and then the rest as just exploring and experiencing everything else! amazing!

The Chelsea gym is freakin beautiful. Just love the variety of stuff that is there. I just use a basic commercial gym. If I had basketball courts, a place to try boxing (and not have to pay for a boxing gym), and all those extra things I would try so many different workout styles haha
Always love the content Will!
My first gym was retro fitness. Started when I got my license at 16. Eventually shut down several years ago. Lots of memories.
Thumbs up for the Algo Let's go Will you are an inspiration 🚀🥇
Thank you Matt!
From Egypt with all the love in the world to the best TH-camr out there , one day i will have the equipment and i will be like you ❤️
The "worst gym" portrayed here is actually my kind of gym! I'm not into fancy-schmancy scenery, socializing, or spending the entire day there.
That "bad gym" looked absolutely fine. Maybe the rumoured owner is guilty of the low star rating, and a lack of AC is certainly an issue in summer, but the gym honestly looked like a great "iron dungeon", well equipped and focused towards just training hard and getting home to recover. And the smoothie bar even had a sharply dressed bartender in it, despite not getting the flavor right. But that's probably just New York for you.
Your editor really crushed it on the chicken bit.
But I love that the worst wasn't the worst!
Bro that gym is like heaven. I’d go there every day
I can see how someone might spend the day here. It's like a mall, but for gym bros
Honestly $225 feels like a great deal for that space in that location. Crazy
