The building amenity on the top of your "must-have" list shouldn't be a rooftop deck —instead, it should be a top-of-the-line fitness center that not only features the newest equipment, but also a beautiful, high-design workout space with jaw-dropping views. Work out while experiencing quintessential city sights, the waterfront, parks, and more. It’s the ultimate inspiration to break a sweat and here are three gyms to get you started.

Located at Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 6, Quay Tower offers a waterfront lifestyle within the desirable Brooklyn Heights neighborhood. Living at Quay Tower offers convenient access to all that the park has to offer, including gardens and lawn space, in addition to sand volleyball courts, a dog park, and a children’s playground. These inspiring surroundings are evocative of the “relaxed luxury” of living at Quay Tower and are an important element of the state-of-the-art fitness center located on the ground floor. Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over the park and water, the gym at Quay Tower is designed to make it feel like you’re running along the waterfront, even if you’re on a treadmill. The expansive space includes Peloton bikes and private training rooms, as well as a boxing gym designed in partnership with the world-famous Gleason’s Boxing Gym. Gleason’s formed their first exclusive partnership with Quay Tower to offer residents private classes with world champion boxer Yuri Foreman and is a fitness offering unlike any other in New York.
