Hype Gym Union Square

A great place to train whether you’re a competitive athlete prepping for your next event or just trying to be the best version of yourself. Good layout, good equipment, and well run. Location is hard to beat- centrally located with public transportation nearby. I have been training with personal trainers at various locations around the country for almost 30 years and have been at Hype for over seven years with @nivzinder (one of the owners) and without a doubt it is a place that keeps me motivated and has helped me reach my fitness goals.

I’ve been working out at Hype Gym for nearly 2 years. The gym itself is excellent, the location even better but what makes this gym unique is their staff. I don’t know every trainer but I’ve gotten to know 12-15 of their trainers and they are all exceptional. I work out with one in particular and James has been a godsend. The attention to detail, technique and overall approach to training is something I’ve never experienced before. And I see it several times a week with many of the trainers training around me. The overall vibe is great but if you really want to be guided by the best, in a great, safe and fun environment, then Hype is for you. And no one asked me for a review. I never review anything but felt compelled to do so here. Ronnie Z

I’ve been working with Niv in different capacities for over five years, and he’s been my personal trainer for the past three. Hype Gym is simply excellent. The setup is outstanding. It’s a serious training environment with a team of very experienced trainers, and you immediately feel that both the trainers and the clients are there to actually work. At the same time, it caters incredibly well to a wide range of people, from complete beginners to very advanced athletes. The gym is always spotless, well organized, and professionally run. The programming and sessions are consistently high quality, and quite frankly, my workouts here are always the best workouts of my week. If you’re looking for a place that combines real training culture with a welcoming, high-end, and well-run environment, this is it.

I’ve been training privately with Niv at Hype for three years, and I couldn’t recommend it more. The gym has a super friendly, welcoming vibe and all the equipment you need to build a strong body. People of all ages and fitness levels train here—everyone feels welcome. There’s also a great small-group fitness class on Sundays at 11 a.m. for more individualized attention. Plus, the location is perfect, with the subway right across the street.

I have been going to hype gym for 3 years now training with James. Hype has cultivated a very welcoming environment and encouraging community. I can’t say enough positive things about James - he is incredibly motivating, personalized and really cares about his clients!! If you are looking for personal training, hype is the place to be!
