Chelsea Piers Fitness Opens Luxurious 60,000-Square-Foot Facility in Flatiron

Chelsea Piers Fitness has announced the opening of its newest location in the heart of Manhattan's Flatiron district, marking a major milestone in the company's expansion throughout the New York City metro area. The new 60,000-square-foot facility, located at 308 Park Ave S in One Madison Avenue, aims to set a new standard for modern premium fitness while fostering community engagement and wellness.

Developed in collaboration with SL Green, the iconic One Madison Avenue building houses this elite fitness club, which spans four floors. The facility is designed to offer cutting-edge amenities, including a contrast therapy suite, meticulously crafted locker rooms with steam and sauna experiences, and unique studio spaces with salt walls and infrared technology. These features emphasize community wellness, providing spaces designed for social engagement and recovery, such as a floor dedicated to co-working and social experiences and Roman bath-inspired recovery areas.

David Tewksbury, CEO and Co-Founder of Chelsea Piers Fitness, highlighted the significance of this expansion. "Our Flatiron club is designed to be a destination where the community can come together to prioritize health and wellness," Tewksbury said. "With extensive amenities and a strong focus on community and wellbeing, this new location embodies our dedication to making a positive impact on New Yorkers’ lives."

The design of the Flatiron club is a blend of modernity and heritage, crafted in partnership with Dan Fink Studio. The interior combines cutting-edge wellness technology with timeless architectural motifs reminiscent of New York's iconic public buildings. Elements from Chelsea Piers Fitness' original location, such as industrial red trusses and a grand staircase, have been integrated into the design, along with custom leaded stained glass windows representing the hues of the Hudson River. A curated collection of commissioned artwork from local New York artists further enhances the cultural experience for members.

Ariel Calderón, Vice President of Architecture and Design at Chelsea Piers Fitness, described the design process as an "unbelievable journey." "Our goal was to create a welcoming and inclusive space that embodies community and New York City’s dynamic spirit – a place where people can gather, exercise, work, and connect," Calderón said.

The facility boasts a range of top-tier amenities, including Himalayan Salt-Covered Wall and Infrared Yoga Studios, a Co-Ed Contrast Therapy Suite, and over 120 weekly boutique classes led by top-tier instructors. The strength and cardio floors are fully equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, including the only gym in NYC with the new Symbio treadmills from Life Fitness. Additionally, a massive members lounge and co-working space, luxurious locker rooms, and numerous other amenities make this club a comprehensive wellness destination.

The opening of Chelsea Piers Fitness Flatiron is not just a significant development for the brand but also for the local community and the fitness industry at large. By reimagining the concept of a gym into a community space, Chelsea Piers Fitness is setting a precedent for future fitness facilities, emphasizing the importance of social engagement and comprehensive wellness.
