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

I have had a lot of great fitness education in my life, and I am very picky when it comes to joining a new gym, so when I came to Uptown Movement in the middle of the pandemic, I immediately knew this place was something special. Eoghan and the team have created a true community where you can explore and have fun with movement regardless of your fitness background. The level system of classes at Uptown Movement give you the opportunity to actually get stronger and more mobile, instead of being boxed into the the same hamster wheel training for years on end, never making any real progress. It is truly a steal for the quality of education you are getting, especially in NYC. Highly, highly recommend.

Amazing Gym! Fantastic Community! Smart Fitness!. I've been attending its small group classes regularly for two years and they have helped me grow stronger and understand how my body works - lessons I've applied to how I move all day and everywhere. I'm stronger and fitter and feel better than I ever have. The community is amazing and the place is full of humor and good cheer. Highly recommend!!

The owner Eoghan has created an energetic, educational, spacious and an inspiring community gym, that is changing the way you think, feel and understand the true purpose of training. We need more of this in this industry. Amazing person and trainer.

I have been working for a long time, through lots of different practices, HIIT, Crossfit, etc. I’ve tried it all. Uptown Movement has been the first place to slow me down, make me focus on my weaknesses and really understand and fall in love with the process of training rather than the results. It’s been thrilling this year at age 50 to do things I couldn’t imagine doing at half my age!

This is a place like no other. The trainers know their stuff, and the classes are challenging and civilized. The training, classes, and the general vibe all follow the idea that "fitness" includes strength, mobility, conditioning, balance, progress, and sanity.

Best gym ever!! Online, in person, yes this really is the best. Small group classes make it feel I’m having a personal training session every time I work out. And that’s true of the online classes too. I’ve belonged to many gyms over the years and spent a lot of time on cardio while grabbing some weights here and there, but at Uptown Movement I’ve learned how to properly strength train. Now I’m confident using kettlebells and maces (and sand bags, my made-at-home pandemic weights of choice), have improved my overall mobility and balance, learned about breathing, and can even do cardio better then before. The community is inclusive, diverse and welcoming. Can’t recommend Hanuman more highly!

The emphasis on learning safe and functional ways to use our bodies is so important and essential. The skilled, calm, and caring instructors are excellent. I feel like I've found my true home for physical education, exercise, and a fit lifestyle.

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.
