Time for the Life Time signage on Cooper Square



You may have noticed activity in the now-former New York Health & Racquet Club on Cooper Square... that gym closed on Dec. 1 ahead of renovations for a rebranding to Life Time. That signage is now up in the storefront windows in the circa-1926 Carl Fisher building.

Here's more via a message from NYHRC: "Life Time is investing in excess of $25 million dollars, renovating this location ... to the highest standards, and will begin operating this location upon the completion of the renovations."

Here's some vague description of this new Life Time (good names also for magazines!):

"Soon to arrive in Cooper Square in the vibrant NoHo neighborhood, this renovated club will feature boutique fitness programs, industry-leading amenities and equipment, and an updated fitness floor and dedicated studios."

The gym club is expected to be ready late in the summer, per the Life Time website and coming-soon signage.

  2. There is no difference between the old and the new.....just another expensive gym.

  3. Did I miss something... should we all be training as elite forces due to an impending alien invasion?

  5. I have a contact from that gym. Monthly fees hover around or right below 300 and require a heft initiation fee. Just like all the rest. Only this time with more bells and whistles. I'll stick to working at home even though I live down the street from this. Thanks

  6. This was a far better neighborhood when Carl Fischer Music Store was still in that space.

  7. Blink Fitness, right around the corner. $25 a month gets you all you need.

  8. HRC was not expensive when you compare it to Equinox or whatever this place is going to cost. It was right around $100+ a month. A lot of people lost a decent gym when this place closed... myself being one of them.
