To do that, we analyze several factors, including (but not limited to): -> The Instructors: For every fitness studio in NYC that we rank, we check out the instructors’ experience, CVs, credentials, experience, and teaching styles. We also evaluate whether each instructor offers personalized attention and their overall reputation in NYC and the fitness industry. -> The Customer Experience: We are constantly taking classes to get a firsthand perspective on how friendly the instructors are, how welcoming a fitness studio is, and how the overall experience at a given studio feels. We aren’t afraid to make multiple visits or try different class offerings either to ensure we get a full view of what a studio has to offer. -> The Classes: We look for NYC fitness studios and instructors that offer a variety of classes, with a range of times, fair pricing, and convenient signup options. We also evaluate whether fitness studios cater to beginner and advanced levels, along with anything in between. -> The Facility & Equipment: At NYC-SOCIETY, we showcase facilities that are modern, pristine, conveniently located, and fully outfitted with the appropriate equipment. We know that spotless, well-maintained studios can say a whole lot about how committed that studio is to offering the best possible fitness experience to its clients. -> Community Engagement: Top NYC fitness studios can build loyal communities with ease, letting their phenomenal offerings, facilities, and instructors speak for themselves to cultivate strong engagement. -> More: Studio policies, costs, innovations, and more also factor into our best of NYC fitness rankings. And we’re constantly updating our metrics and evaluation systems, as new fitness studios in NYC continue to raise the bar for the competition.
