About.com Reader's Choice Winner Badge

About.com readers have spoken and selected Peak Performance NYC as the Best New York City Gym

Congratulations to Peak Performance NYC! The fans of this Chelsea gym are vocal and passionate. They love the 10,000-square-foot loft space and the expert trainers (who have whipped celebs like Anne Hathaway, Jimmy Fallon, and Claire Danes into shape).

Learn more about working out at Peak Performance NYC.

Check back soon for my review of Peak Performance NYC (if I manage to survive a workout with gym owner and fitness guru Joe Dowdell).

Hi Allan,
The finalists were chosen based on number of reader nominations during our nomination period in January. We took the top 5 for the final vote. I was also surprised that we didn’t see many nominations for NYSC.

I love Crunch. Best Gym. I won’t sink to the Equinox members low blows. It’s obvious by the votes that Equinox can’t even get 50 people to count it among NYC’s bests.

The best gym on this list is PEAK Performance without a doubt. Anyone who is looking to get in the best shape of their life and have a great time doing it, needs to go check out PEAK. If its good enough for Anne Hathaway, Hilary Swank, Claire Danes, its good enough for anyone. Amazing training and amazing people

Peak Performance hands down! Aside from having an amazing facility they are lead by Joe Dowdell (owner), one of the best in the fitness industry. Anyone who knows about Dowdell and the realm of strength coaches he’s established with knows that he and Peak Performance are legit! If you dont know about it, you’re lacking serious knowedge and wasting time with these other commercial gyms! Get with the movement people!

Well, today is the last day. About.com set it up so people have about three weeks to vote.
