Discussion about

Perhaps some of the SE community can help me find a place anywhere in Manhattan which has group exercise classes, but isn't a traditional gym (like Equinox or NY Sports Club) or a personal training facility. A place anywhere in Manhattan which has a variety of group exercise classes, preferably more than just pilates, yoga or zumba (although zumba is fun). What I've found on the UES is MonQi Fitness (now Method Gym) on East 67th Street. Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

i like the JCC (76th/Amsterdam). Non-members are welcome to take group classes (for a fee) which range from yoga, pilates, and dance to conditioning, cycling, boxing, and aqua aerobics.

Depends on what you like/don't like about group classes. In general, the JCC instructors are not ahem, the most inspired ones.

nyc10023, nice to see you back!

I'm not such a great athlete so most instructors are more than sufficient for my purposes. In fact, some instructors are too good for my level of athletic ability. :) I just prefer to go to exercise classes instead of working out with machines in a gym.
