TMPL - Hell's Kitchen

Positive experience: EDIT: The current manager did reach out and assured me they're working on fixing the lockers as well as on educating the gym goers to proper gym etiquette as well as asking staff to re-rack as well. They were very polite and accommodating, so I changed the review from 2 to 3 stars just based on my interaction with them ORIGINAL REVIEW: Do you like having to remove other people's plates ON EVERY plate-loaded machine you use? Do you spending ten-fifteen minutes in the lockerroom trying to find locker with a lock that actually works or that isn't already used? Do you like working out in a dark basement club where the lighting reminds you of a rave in Brooklyn and no windows to the exterior? Then this club is the perfect club for you! Come on over! Just remember don't touch those weights after you load up your machine! It's a problem for the next person!

Fantastic experience: TMPL is well known for its impressive design and attractive environment, as well as the smiling faces greeting you at the front desk. Even the employees who work at the swimming pool and clean the locker rooms are hardworking and friendly. What I highly recommend and appreciate is coach Eric—he is professional, passionate, and patient. No matter what level you are, he is the best at helping you improve your skills and boost your fitness, making you fall in love with boxing even more. Every minute of his boxing classes is intense and engaging. Because he is so popular among members, make sure to book his classes early! I hope that more of Eric’s classes can be added to the schedule in HK as this is a heartfelt request from many members. I would like to especially thank Eric for his patience and for correcting every movement detail. I am also grateful to my teammates for their support and encouragement—you are the best!

Fantastic experience: My favorite fitness club. I love that in this gym, I can find everything: a pool, sauna, various group classes, and great equipment. This variety keeps me from giving up on working out, even when I get tired of one thing. It's probably the only place where I spend so much of my free time with joy. My power spot.

Negative experience: I love this gym. However, im giving a one star because I use the pool and some of the lifeguards coming on time has been an issue for a long time and goes frequently unaddressed. My last straw was today Saturday 11/2 because the lifeguard was over 15 minutes late and I was just about finishing a swim at 9am within the 45 minute limit (maybe two minutes over) and the coach for the class at 9 kicked me out rudely into another lane. Im fine with finishing there and I get the coaches frustration but I wonder if he has addressed this with management. That frustration shouldnt be taken out on a long time two year member. There are amazing people here and great lifeguards that im friendly with that are on time and responsible but today was kind if my last straw. I didnt appreciate the rudeness because someone else didnt do their job.

Fantastic experience: As a fitness professional and as a professional bodybuilder I must say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GYM! Starting with the staff. I travel to NYC often and need to train at a gym that has it all. Every single time I would walk into TMPL it is always a pleasant experience. Smile, check in, purchase a pre workout and grab a sweat tile. Easy breezy. The lockers are my fave because you don’t need to bring a locker. It’s also fully equipped with towels, lotion, deodorant, steam room and plenty of showers. The workout floors are set up perfectly and while there is PLENTY of equipment (even at busy times) most people are super cool to have you jump in on a set. With that said, so many guys are super easy to chat with or ask for a spot. JOINING this gym is a no brainer whether you live in NYC or if you visit often. Also, they have the vegan protein shakes for post workout. Haha. It’s the little things! Thanks guys for making it such a great place to train, Shaun T

Negative experience: The gym’s charging double, but the amenities are worse—dirty pools, dirty bathrooms, broken treadmills that haven’t been fixed in a while, no cell signal, and WiFi that maxes out during peak hours.

Negative experience: Amazing gym. Everything is perfect but despite my continued reminders, they continued to charge my credit card for the monthly subscription fee even though my membership was canceled. This is unacceptable.

Positive experience: I came here while vacationing in NYC because my hotel gave me passes and it was very close by. The long and the short of it is that this is primarily a body building gym. If you powerlift, you may struggle to find space for everything you need to do, but you'll be able to figure it out. If you intend to clean/functionally train/do any Olympic lifts, I wouldn't go here. There is a single platform, which was occupied for the entirety of the time I was there. I ended up deadlifting in a narrow aisle between machines, which unfortunately blocked passage for everyone and also blocked one of the ~5 squat racks. The squat/deadlifting area is quite small and packed with other lower body equipment like a GHD, the leg press, a roman chair, a smith, etc., so there is very little room to move around. The barbell selection is minimal and there are no 15kg bars. The upper body area, by contrast, is enormous. There are dumbbells and benches aplenty. Cardio equipment is abundant. Personally, I didn't enjoy the aesthetic or the overall vibe. It's very dimly lit, particularly on the lower body floor, and the place is trying hard to be edgy. There are what I would categorize as "selfie stations" around the gym -- neon signs with pithy quips about your ass, for instance. The employees were all very nice, as were all of the patrons I interacted with. All in all, I did what I needed to do here, but I probably would have been happier at a powerhouse or a local box.

Negative experience: been a regular here for 3 years but the quality of service has gone way downhill. Vent on the lower floor sucks; constant water leaks that flood the floor; irresponsible people messing up the amenities; creepy dudes promoting their private coach sessions. Membership price has also doubled the past 2 years. A great gym but management is really subpar

Fantastic experience: I have been going to TMPL for about two years and love it. There are lots of gyms in the city to pick from but the vibes here are my favorite. I also do PT with Hugo and absolutely love working with him. He is patient but also challenges me to be stronger and better in each session. Highly recommend the PT option (and you should ask for Hugo)!

Positive experience: Decent gym with a decent amount of equipment. General upkeep could be better.

Fantastic experience: My trainer Sam is a fantastic trainer. My guns have swelled from .22 to 50 cal. After every leg day we do the ‘Stair test’ where if I can walk up the stairs without struggling then I have failed the test. I haven’t failed one yet. My legs were weedy, they now look like muscly tree trunks. I’ve gone from pudgy to peachy. Thanks Sam!!

Fantastic experience: 5/5/ recommend joining if you moved to the neighborhood and would like to meet HK locals. The gym itself has ample space and numerous workout stations that make peak gym time manageable. The lighting is dark and sultry and exactly what you need when sweating your heart out. 10/5 recommend arranging a personal training session with Sam, who is also a manager.

Fantastic experience: great gym - pricey but includes everything (classes, cold plunge, saltwater pool, sauna, steam room). The gym and women’s locker room itself is really clean and well maintained - staff are friendly. started personal training sessions with Eric and it has been fantastic especially since I’m coming back from a bad back injury. I can really see the progress and feel a difference in my energy, strength, muscle endurance, and weight loss. Personal Training is separate from the membership and pricey but comparable to other NYC gyms - totally worth it if you’re just getting started or need help to prevent re-injuring yourself! (But seriously, ask for Eric.)

Fantastic experience: Jonathan is the best! It’s the first time I hired a personal trainer to help me understand my body, mobility, strengths and weaknesses. He was very kind, understanding and saw what I would like to achieve. I felt safe throughout the whole time and felt stronger already after our first session. I can’t wait to see what I’ll learn in the upcoming months and how the sessions with train my body and brain!

Fantastic experience: Love TMPL Hell’s Kitchen and their staff, but especially my gym trainer Lucas! Lucas has trained me 3 times a week for the last 2 years, and I now I love working out so much more than I ever did! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. The facilities are excellent. I worked out with coach Jonathan Ramos. He is a knowledgeable trainer and made the workout efficient and fun.

Fantastic experience: Great experience working with Jonathan, extremely professional, knowledgeable, and willing to help you get to your desired goal. I would recommend that anybody working towards a healthier lifestyle, looking to improve their confidence, & physical fitness/appearance work with him.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and great trainer! Eric’s been teaching boxing and group training for a while and it was really helpful! Highly recommend to anyone that’s interested in a good quality gym

Fantastic experience: Been training here with Lucas, who is incredibly supportive, knowledgeable and personable! Understands my needs and makes coming to the gym more fun and fulfilling.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at TMPL - Hell’s Kitchen with Jonathan Ramos for the past 6 month and couldn’t be more impressed. Jonathan’s approach to training is both motivating and personalized. He’s taken the time to understand my fitness goals and tailors each training session to help me achieve them. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Jonathan is a great trainer and has made going to the gym a lot less intimidating and more fun! Very grateful for our sessions

Fantastic experience: Jonathan is a great trainer - he’s extremely helpful and always shows me around! Ask for him when you get there!!!

Fantastic experience: Joined about a month ago, I ended up enjoying the vibe more than my prior gym in the neighborhood. I also did the free consultation and ended up signing up for physical training session as I was embarrassed not knowing how to use all the machines to the fullest. I was paired with Jonathan Ramos who has an exceptional educational background as well as training experience. He’s been a pleasure to work with as he is personable, keeps me accountable, and pushes me every time. Makes coming to the gym that much more enjoyable. Highly recommend him and the gym. Once I complete my program, I feel confident I can work out independently with all his training and not become a meme. Good investment to get everything you may want from a gym.

Fantastic experience: Jonathan is the best trainer I’ve had at TMPL! Since working with him I’ve reached milestone goals. Definitely work with him if you need a trainer!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, it has everything I need but my favorite aspect is training with Eric in the small group fitness class. I’ve been able to take my workouts to the next level and can’t recommend working with him enough!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding facility with the best staff. Shout out to Sam Vasconez! 5 stars all around.

Fantastic experience: Let me tell you a little story about trainer Sam Lin. That mofo... No really, I've been training with Sam for about 8 months and I can't say enough great things about him. Outside of really pushing me to increase my strength, encouraging me when I'm ready to give up and providing me with the proper form and reps, I'd like to think of Sam as a friend; though he may not agree. Really. Lol. Thanks TMPL and Sam.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Lucas Ortiz over the last two years at tmpl. He is an excellent personal trainer and such a beautiful person. He is knowledgeable of exercises, nutrition, and program design. He is always updated on the latest fitness research and nutrition reports and share them with me which have been crucial towards achieving my fitness goals. He is been so accommodative for my goals, challenges, and needs. On a personal level, he is so patient and supportive which has been a great guide and addition to have in my fitness and wellbeing journey. I am so happy to have his guidance and support in my fitness journey and highly recommend Lucas as a personal trainer.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym with an excellent selection of equipment. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I also work with Teddy Sanchez for personal training sessions and he is the best trainer that I've ever worked with by far. I highly recommend working with him!

Positive experience: Have been coming to this location for 2 years now. Eric’s boxing classes are the major reason why this location is worth it. His focus on technique helps both beginners and amateurs. Space being small is def a constraint and it does get pretty hot. They have been building a new location at Madison ave which apparently will have a standard sized boxing ring. Don’t know when that will open though!

Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve ever been to. Never too crowded. A good busy. The lockerrooms are maintained well. The trainers and staff are very friendly and helpful and will get you in the best shape of your life. My trainer for instance Sam always keeps it fun and challenging and has helped me meet many of my fitness goals. And the communication with and commitment to his clients is top notch. So happy to be at this gym. And the music is the best!

Fantastic experience: I started at this gym about two months ago and took a class with personal trainer Teddy Sanchez. His boot camp class is one of my favorite classes to take at TMPL. He is really helpful and will go out of his way to ensure everyone in his class understands the workouts and movements. If you're looking for a personal trainer at Hell's Kitchen I highly recommend Teddy!!

Fantastic experience: I just joined TMPL - HK this year and I wish i joined sooner! the staff there is lovely and the facilities are super clean! Special s/o to Sam who is a trainer at this location, he has helped me so much with my fitness journey and I enjoy working with him!

Fantastic experience: TMPL is the best gym I’ve ever been to. Samuel Vascones has been my personal trainer for nearly 3 months and my life, mental and physical health have changed dramatically. I am in the beet shape of my life. I feel stronger and more confident with myself. Sam truly cares for people and his training programs are rigorous but welcoming. The best of the best!

Fantastic experience: joined TMPL seven years ago and love how well maintained it is. training with Sam is the best!!

Fantastic experience: Hell’s kitchen TMPL is a great space: pool sauna steam weights cardio etc. Allows you to try new workouts! The space itself is super lively with art and music / Live DJ — HK has awesome staff- Teddy Sanchez is a phenomenal trainer and coach. He is attentive and pushes you to new bests each session! Classes and personal training sessions are available

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of many gyms over the last 15+ years but TMPL is by far my favorite! It’s my sanctuary and happy place and I look forward to going there every day. I am particularly impressed with their training, my favorite part about TMPL is definitely my trainer Teddy!! I have been working with Teddy for many months and it’s literally been life changing for me. When I met Teddy I could barely pick up a dumbbell and was clueless about how to navigate the strength training floor. He has completely transformed my confidence, my body, my health and overall wellness. I’m so grateful to have met him and always look forward to our training sessions and continuing to build strength and vitality!

Fantastic experience: I live nearby so this is my neighborhood gym. Solid layout, welcoming community, and great amenities. I hired Sam Lin as my personal trainer, and I’ve really been enjoying our time together. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Very good place to train. I've been taking boxing classes with Eric for 3 months now and I can only give good feedback regarding his way of sharing his knowledge.

Fantastic experience: I am currently a client of one of TMPL’s best trainers Eric Nieves. He is now my stretch coach and is truly changing my life. After working out for 20 years I am constantly tight and sore which has led to injury. Eric is an expert at knowing my body and using advanced techniques and years of experience. He also uses both a foam roller and massage gun. This has all resulted in me being more flexible in my daily life and during my workouts and helped avoid injury. I highly recommend Eric a true professional.

Fantastic experience: TMPL has a great vibe and top notch amenities. I’ve been coming to TMPL for over a year now and working with Lucas has been great. I highly recommend working Lucas whether you are look to get strong, drop some weight or learn to box.

Positive experience: After leaving a bad review about an undisclosed fee, a manager graciously called an agreed to provide a refund. That said, it's insane what gyms in NYC charge these days.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful, high end gym. Very clean. Huge assortment of equipment. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Fun atmosphere too.

Fantastic experience: This is the place to gain your whole health! I make this assessment based on the diversity and amount of the equipment (nothing torn or worn), the thoughtful layout and soothing atmosphere, the amount upscale amenities, the cleanliness, and the friendliness of the staff. I was also impressed by how welcoming the Membership person, J.D. was.

Positive experience: Gym itself is good, shame the girl at reception had an attitude

Positive experience: Left Equinox for this gym bc the cost is significantly less, there are still plenty of locations in the city, and the customer service is more white-glove then equinox has ever been. Leighton, the club manager here, went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of when personal issues came up that affected my membership. I wish they had the smaller towels on all floors bc sometimes I forget to grab one when checking in, but otherwise the facility is great and staff is extremely friendly.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym for serious lifters who want to be around other bodybuilding guys. The weekly rate was $150 which was pretty reasonable given all what you get (multi-location access). Definitely worth doing as a visitor (and perhaps as a full resident if I were one).

Fantastic experience: The vibe is dark and trendy and the gym is decorated like a night club which is quite unique. The Hell’s Kitchen location is super gay which makes it appealing for female users. Overall great and clean facilities, convenient location and excellent personal training program.

Fantastic experience: Best bang-for-buck compared to other Manhattan options, especially considering the pool. Hudson Yards equinox has the same pool configuration but double price; LifeTime Sky only has a wading pool at 3x the price. Amenities used to be under repair a lot but that seems resolved. Ideally they'd turn the lights up and the club music down, but bring your own lifting playlist and you'll be fine.

Negative experience: Has all the things - pool, cardio machines, functional training area and classes. I like that the membership includes what you'd typically get with a gym membership, along with a variety of classes (including yoga and spin), plus the pool, sauna, and steam room. Even during peak hours when it’s busy, it’s not too bad. The instructors are generally great. I deducted stars because I like to do the 45 minute swim lap class, however lately (including the last three weeks in a row) the instructors of the class before it have been running over into the laps class and by the time the pool is rearranged the class ends up only being 30 minutes and we stand there waiting by the pool for 15 minutes.

Fantastic experience: Cute gym. Cute boys. Nice sauna. They have a cold soak tub that I tried out while I visited too. $35 for a day pass which is a little pricey, but there's enough to make it worth it.

Fantastic experience: TMPL Hell’s Kitchen is a vibrant, inclusive gym with top-notch equipment, a welcoming atmosphere, and a diverse, fun community. The energy is unmatched, making it feel like more than just a gym—it’s a space where everyone can feel celebrated. With fantastic amenities like a relaxing sauna and friendly, helpful staff, TMPL Hell’s Kitchen truly stands out. It’s the gayest and most welcoming gym in New York, and I absolutely adore it!

Negative experience: They didn't want to let us try the day at this gym and they didn't even let us pay, they disrespected my friend and told us to return to our country because we were imigtants, I don't recommend this gym, these types of employees are not professionals and they believe that they can disrespect people.

Fantastic experience: Good experience overall, especially at the front desk where the employees (Luz and Ari) were really helpful and polite. Can definitely recommend this place if you want good customer service and a smile to brighten your day!

Negative experience: I am incredibly disappointed with the level of customer service provided by TMPL Gym. Despite being a dedicated patron who invests a significant amount annually into their services, my recent experience with their management team - Leyton and Rai - has been nothing short of frustrating and disheartening. Two weeks ago, I reached out to the management team regarding a concern I had. Despite sending multiple follow-up emails over the course of two weeks, I have not received a single response. This complete lack of communication and disregard for patron inquiries is unacceptable.

Fantastic experience: By far the best gym in NYC. Kara Doyle is one of the best instructors I have taken, she teaches with such passion, and cares for the people in her class. The staff is amazing, and very attentive, especially Layton!

Negative experience: staff is very nice.. but the gym itself is weak.. equipment looks old and worn out. not worth the price. and why is it so dark? more light is better than none.

Fantastic experience: Emmanuel was the best. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to sing up for the gym but after the tour he definitely sold me!!!!

Negative experience: To join month to month $340, each aditional month $200. No showers. No thank u. Annoing phone calls from different phone numbers, to make me join asap. Changed phone number, thats it.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, clean locker rooms, olympic size pool and there is a lot of equipment available. Layton is super helpful in getting you set up!

Fantastic experience: My favorite gym in the city! It has everything you need from usual gym equipment and group classes to a pool, sauna and spa area! And the price is much better than the more expensive alternatives. My favorite is the swim sprint class with Hugo, even though I’ve never swam properly before, his classes motivated me to spend more time swimming and I completed my first triathlon! Would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: The best swimming pool I have ever swimmed! The gym has a good sort of equipments and serves even those who does heavy workouts. The girls at the reception desk are very kind and always available to help with any needs. It was my second time buying a one week pass and i'm sure that TMPL Hell's Kitchen is my choice for a gym at NYC.

Fantastic experience: Spoke to Layton the manager about a pressing matter and she handled it immediately. It was so nice to talk to a real person and a professional who cares. This is my favorite gym in the city with a great location. I’m never leaving them also there’s a salt water pool! Outstanding five stars

Fantastic experience: Ellis provided excellent service, demonstrating both proficiency and patience. His multilingual abilities enhance the overall customer experience, making interactions smooth and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Ellis Jimenez helped me understand all the amenities and plans offered at TMPL HK gym. His service was attentive, clear, and made me feel included. I highly recommend going to him if you are interested in joining this gym.

Negative experience: There's something going on with this gym. More and more things are not working, something is broken. The lights in the gym are out, the music cuts off with a bass noise. The shower isn't working, and there's not even an announcement about it. Also, the showers are often dirty, and the shower cabins are dirty too. I love this gym, but there needs to be some order.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym, the vibe is great and everyone is really nice & professional. The pool is awesome, plus the sauna & steam room are restorative, especially the new lighting in the sauna. Special shoutout to Jason & Daisy. PS, the spin class is very cool that offers an immersive experience.

Negative experience: I usually post nice things. Unfortunately I contracted staff infection from this gym. The locker rooms are filled with dirty towels. Not the best upkeep.

Fantastic experience: I am a founding member of TMPL gym. I have seen every incarnation that it has been and experienced every management. I recently came back after many months off. In my time off my account had some issues and with the help of customer service manager Rai and the new general manager Layton. They were able to get it all organized and reactivated at my founders rate. These kids are great and the energy they exude really makes me feel proud to be apart of the new era they are bringing in to one of the top gyms in NYC. The vibes is all inclusive with all the equipment, classes, and friendly staff you would want in a gym. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for two weeks and I can only speak about my experience with TMPL Hells Kitchen but I’ve highly enjoyed it. I joined TMPL because I needed a gym with classes. There are plenty of machines, weights, and self guided spaces, but as a gym newbie and a NYC newbie the classes are great to get back into the gym habit and make friends. I’ve attended three different style classes (full body cardio, boxing, and Capoeira). The instructors have been so great and attentive, ensuring form looks good, and their kind and genuinely great people. All the classes have been challenging and really get a workout in. I really want to highlight the Capoeira class because it was something that I had never tried before or really heard of and besides the wonderful history behind it, the class was incredibly fun, thank you, Estylo (sorry if spelled wrong)!! I would be remiss if I did not mention the facilities. The women’s locker room is kept clean and stocked, (shout out to Miss Daisy). Everyone is also very respectful and wipe the equipment down after use!

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out. Groups classes, swimming pool, and everything that you need in the restrooms (rain showers, body wash, shampoo, body deodorant, body lotion, etc.). DJ like four days a week.

Negative experience: Gets worse every day. Hot water is always a problem. Minor maintenance issues get ignored for months, if ever addressed. They spend a fortune on cosmetic upgrades to the locker room while ignoring critical needs like non functioning showers. They want you to pay equinox rates for a Y experience. Don’t do it!

Fantastic experience: Met with Ellis and he was super nice to us. My friends and I got a day pass here and have decided on getting a membership here. They have everything you need here. Amazing atmosphere in here that fuels my everyday workout!

Positive experience: Overall the gym is pretty well designed and I like the equipment, staff, music plus amenities. However, the showers are always cold and are almost useless. If you fancy a hot shower post workout this isn’t the place. They need to fix them and improve. Also with the gym in the basement there is no natural lighting.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym for almost 2 years. Staff have always been friendly and courteous, especially at the front desk. Equipment is comprehensive, clean, and in good shape. All with a reasonable rate, can't complain.

Fantastic experience: Wow. The experience was immaculate from the moment I walked in and was helped by Luna. The experience in the facility was unlike any other. The machines, top quality and more than enough for everyone. The sauna, steam room and pool are over the top! Don’t get me started with the showers!! It was my favorite part. The way the water falls from the shower is an experience within it self. The cleaner was a good man as well. Very respectful and pleasant. I’m sharing all this experience on my social medias @kevingonline on IG There’s no doubt you’ll have the same experience!

Fantastic experience: Good gym, with plenty of equipment and amenities. Ellis was super helpful with setting everything up and helping out!

Fantastic experience: I’ve honestly never been to a gym like TMPL before, it’s interior lighting and atmosphere drew me in. Plenty of machines, free weights, lots of amenities. The steam room after push day is the best. Estefania showed me around, made me a bomb smoothie and was all around pleasant. Definitely a gym I’d see myself going to more often in the future!

Fantastic experience: I was on vacation to NY and stayed a block away from Times Square. I went to multiple gyms and please take my word that this is the ONLY one worth going to. This gym is clean, has great equipment, amazing ambiance, and a very supportive staff. Specifically JD and Ari took care of everything for my while I was there and were very professional with a smile. Thank you both!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a full range of equipment, good lighting with pretty people, and all the expected amenities. They offer guest passes in variable lengths without a full membership, which is great for out of town travelers like me. The staff is helpful and friendly as well with a special shout out to Ellis who is always helpful, friendly, and happy to explain membership options.

Fantastic experience: I recently moved, I was looking for a good gym option, thanks to the advisor ELLIS JIMÉNEZ who completely showed me the gym and informed me well, I signed up and I have been here for 4 months and I consider it to be excellent! the best decision

Fantastic experience: Ellis Jiménez’s customer service went above and beyoncé. He was warm, helpful and informative. The newly renovated locker rooms are great.

Fantastic experience: Started my membership with my SA Ellis and he made everything easy. He was very insightful about my needs, he set up my personal training package and recommended me who to work with. He is always making me feel welcome and appreciated as a costumer.

Fantastic experience: Ellis is wonderful and I've always helpful. No matter what questions I have or issues he's always there when I need him. Great job Ellis! You make TMPL great!

Fantastic experience: Just joined up! Ellis was so friendly and got us all taken care of. The staff is incredible and the amenities are high quality. The service is top notch at this place!

Fantastic experience: TMPL Hell’s Kitchen is a great gym—more weights and equipment than other gyms I toured, sauna, steam room, pool, and decent locker room. And the employees are great! Ellis gave me my tour and was very knowledgeable and kind. It’s always nice to see him at the gym.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member since March '23 since taking the tour with Ellis, who showed me around and convinced me to give it a try. I've been very happy I did. It has great equipment (including free weights, machines and cardio), classes and amenities. For those who swim, there's a salt water pool. The atmosphere and staff keeps you motivated, and the trainers are great for those who need them (they certainly helped me step up my game). Anyway, thanks Ellis!

Positive experience: Gym is nice. Has 6 squat racks. Ellis has always been very friendly helpful and had answers to questions. 4 stars is because the showers (always cold/half broken) and HVAC system (always hot) have always been an issue at this location.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym for 6 months now and it’s great. Ellis, the manager is fantastic - also gives some great personal workout advice, but also generally kind and helpful, has a wonderful demeanor. The equipment is pretty good although their leg area could use more deadlift platforms. They have some awesome new chest and arm equipment (I love the incline chest fly machine). I’ve never worked with a trainer before but they are hot, lol, the head trainer (aside from being deadass handsome) has also been very very polite to others when with his clients, which is appreciated. I LOVE that they’re open til 11pm on weekdays and 7pm on weekends. The Equinox at 50th st has way worse hours and isn’t even open on Sundays. The dim lighting keeps “influencers” from recording ridiculous videos or bringing tripods, which is great. A couple things to watch out for - Mondays / Tuesdays after-work crowd is PACKED, suggest going after 8pm on those nights. Also check that there’s hot water BEFORE you plan on showering, twice on cold days I had to shower in ice cold water. I’ve also never used the sauna or steam room but I’ve heard the staff make an effort to ‘keep it classy’ back there. I’ve also never used the boxing area / personal training area or pool but I’ve heard great things. Always good eye candy (at least for the boys). Sometimes it’s a little much, honestly but that’s a me problem.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, never really super crowded, Ellis got me signed up and he was great at explaining the services and amenities that the gym offered :), def recommending It to friends :))

Fantastic experience: Front desk Ari and Luna always brighten up my day when I come in. The costumer service has always been amazing between staff, trainers and maintenance team. Also setting up my membership Ellis with quick and straight forward, I was told everything up front with no hidden fees.I’ve been a member at many gyms and always love the community that is here at TMPL.

Fantastic experience: The facilities are complete and spacious. The salt water pool and the sauna makes a difference. Ellis was great when setting up my membership and Estefania is very welcoming at the front desk. I really like the fact that they both speak Spanish and make me feel comfortable. So far I’m loving TMPL.

Fantastic experience: I always go to TMPL in HK everytime I visit NYC and u love it staff is very friendly and the gym is perfect to have a great workout very clean and big clean bathroom and lookers everytime I go Ellis is amazing and make me feel very comfortable so friendly and kind. Very good option to workout in Midtown area

Fantastic experience: I had a few problems that I wanted to bring up to management, but they were not available. Ellis, the customer care guy, helped me and was super nice, he heard all the feedback and wanted to give and helped me resolve it. I have been a member for a bit now, and nobody else had been as helpful before. Great guy!

Fantastic experience: Just moved to the area from a different country and one of the managers Ellis was incredibly helpful to me and some friends to make decision of joining TMPL. The gym is very specious compared to other facilities in the area, I have been using the sauna and steam after my workouts (Ellis kept mentioning about it), it definitely makes the difference.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional gym experience at joying TMPL - thanks to Ellis! My husband and I couldn't be happier with our decision to join TMPL gym. The equipment and welcoming atmosphere make every workout enjoyable. What truly sets TMPL apart is the outstanding customer service, particularly from Ellis. His personalized attention and helpful guidance were the deciding factors in choosing TMPL over Lifetime. Despite my husband briefly trying Lifetime due to its proximity, Ellis's exceptional customer service lured him back to TMPL, where we've happily stuck together. Kudos to Ellis and the entire TMPL team for creating an exceptional fitness community!

Fantastic experience: Had a chance to check out this gym with a friend who is a member and I was thoroughly impressed! Spoke to Ellis at the office, who was super friendly and informative, talked me through the gym's amenities, classes, and membership packages. After getting a quick tour of the gym, I would’ve easily been sold on joining (if I didn’t live in NJ)! I personally enjoy the spotlights and music playing. Will definitely join next year when I move to the city but would love to come back as a guest in the meantime!

Fantastic experience: I recently moved full time to the area, was exploring different gym options, but at last decided to join TMPL. My SA Ellis was very knowledgeable about the area and how convenient it would be for me to join the club. Love that he pointed out the specialized machines to add to my workout , and how the pool and steam would help me to speed up my recovery process.

Fantastic experience: It’s a great gym with all the equipments you need to make a full workout! And I really enjoy the indoor experience and the treadmills area. Love Ellis helpful attention for the enrollment and gym add ons. Fully recommend!
