Celebrating over 30 years, Manhattan Plaza Health Club (MPHC) opened its doors in 1978 primarily as a resident swim club with a small fitness component. The secret quickly got out and people began flocking to our world-class atrium pool. Since that time MPHC has grown to a 35,000 sq. ft. complex housing everything from rock climbing & spinning to pilates & \ u0003scuba-diving. MPHC has built its reputation on being an affordable place in the community where people from all walks of life can go to maintain their health & \ u0003wellness. Our philosophy has always been simple your fitness community.

This club's "All fitness, no attitude" motto plays out in both the renovated premises and no-nonsense trainers. Yes, the retractable-roof pool dotted with palm trees and a 5,000-square-foot rock climbing area spell luxe, but the fact that… Read Full Editorial
My Review by heatherm2142191764 via Citysearch on 6/21/2013
I really love this gym... and since I am there 5 days a week I better. When I had to start a very active exercise plan for health reasons my spouse recommended MPHC because it is close to Port Authority where we commute in from - and he…
convenient location by nycgaL4887 via Citysearch on 2/3/2010
This gym is a convenient location. The cardio area is just horrible. They really need to invest in new equipment up there. There is no need for like 13 treadmills either. Take out the 4 in the back and 3 of the stair climbers that NO BODY…
MPHC good for rock climbing by justmelfontana via Citysearch on 1/12/2009
I am very unhappy with this establishment. I haven't used the climbing wall myself, but hear that the climbing wall is the best feature in this health club. Pool is nice, too. This just isn't the health club for me.
No Attitude by Belletink via Citysearch on 6/4/2008
I joined two years ago. I learned to swim there. Once people began to recognise me..they'd make comments about how I swam...There are many people that don't seem clean and older people with sagging skin that walk about un clothed. I got…
Ask for Steven G by nissaba via Citysearch on 6/29/2006
As a personal training virgin, I was hesitant to choose someone from a picture and short bio, and really didn't want some initmidating muscle-head who just checks himself out in the mirror the entire time (as I'm sure you've seen at other…
Come for the gym, stay for the indoor climbing wall by Ahron S. via Judy's Book on 8/19/2005
What makes the Manhattan Plaza Health Club so special is its indoor climbing walls. The first tryout on these walls is free, and let me tell you, it is FUN. I came to this gym expecting to only use the treadmill and weights but I got…
Hawaii in Manhattan by danefilms via Citysearch on 5/15/2004
MPFH is like an island of sanity and peace in a world that doesn't know how to stop. This club is like no other in New York--pool, tennis, climbing room, 10-12 classes a day PLUS 6-8 in water aerobics; swim team; and stroke clinic…
staff w/attitude! by noxy via Citysearch on 5/12/2003
we were greeted with a very unfriendly, rude greeting upon arriving to the club...not to mention the girl at the desk was having a social phone conversation for the entirety of our visit with the gym. we had to ask for a tour of the gym…
tropical palace by lookielookie via Citysearch on 12/5/2002
I love it!! At first I was scared about the enviroment, but then the staff warmed right up to me and made me feel at home. The place has expanded in all it's areas, including the pool, which is a tropical palace now.
The staff was very…
Not a typical NYC club!! by bungifable via Citysearch on 5/24/2002
The reception staff wear a shirt stating, "All fitness, no attitude" and I find this to be most accurate. Every time I am at the club, the entire staff is very amiable and helpful! I am not much of a swimmer but the pool (tropical…
