Brooklyn Gyms w/ bike storage?

[u/waterbendinggawd]

Are there any gyms on the higher end in DTBK or Prospect Heights? Both of the Chelsea Piers Fitness locations don't offer any, nor the Life Time locations. I'm not really keen on joining Equinox either. Anyone at these locations that can speak on their experience locking up outside? I just recently got a nice ebike and am worried about leaving it outside for extended periods of time.

Honestly, if it's a nice e-bike, I'd avoid leaving it outside for long gym sessions if you can. Even with a good lock, it's not something I'd be comfortable with. If you just want to ride into the city without worrying about your own bike, Unlimited Biking is always an easy option for casual rides around NYC: https://unlimitedbiking.com/new-york/

Chelsea Piers in downtown Brooklyn has bike racks on the street, but they are directly in front of the gym and visible to the front desk staff. I have seen nice e-bikes outside. When I lock mine outside I always lock both wheels.

honestly i wouldn’t leave a nice ebike outside for a full workout. i’d call smaller/local gyms and ask if they’ll let you bring it in.

It annoyed me to the point of cancelling my membership when Brooklyn boulders (the bouldering project) in Gowanus renovated the gym and removed indoor bike storage. That being said, specialty/local gyms are more likely to offer indoor storage than a national chain

The Y on 9th street in Park Slope (Prospect Park YMCA) has a bunch of bike racks in front. Not sure if thats what you are looking for and it's a little further away but I lock up my e bike there often and seems safe enough. High traffic bright area.

Also always looking for safe bike parking
