Great gym - feels like being at home if you has all the right stuff! Love the sauna. Love the classes especially Laura Lane's and Jasmin's.

I was a member of this gym for a year (sadly, I had to move away!), and it's my favorite gym I've ever been part of in NYC. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, remembering your names, and the trainers are very knowledgeable. Especially since the gym recently expanded, there's more than enough squat racks, free weights, machines, and floor space to accommodate your workouts. (Mornings 7-8 am can get busy, but I've never had a problem finding space.) The variety of classes is excellent, too – Power Yoga is my favorite! I especially love the new sauna!

Great place to work out. Clean, good music, and quality equipment. I didn’t have to wait long to use equipment. I especially liked the fact that there is 2 Hydrow machines to use - got me into rowing.

I took the Full Body Burn class at the Cellar with Alyssa and it was amazing! It’s such a good workout, and I was really feeling the burn!! Alyssa made me feel really comfortable at my first class there, and she was great at explaining all the exercises. The red light therapy is also SO unique! I’ve never experienced a class like that! Will be going back!

The Full Body Burn class with Alyssa is AMAZING. I am notoriously a person who hates group classes but this class really changed my mind. It was challenging enough where I felt like I was getting something out of it, but it also felt achievablw enough where I didn’t feel defeated halfway through like you sometimes do in other group classes. The red light therapy really makes you feel awesome at the end of the class too. Alyssa is so knowledgeable and helpful! Cannot recommend Alyssa and her classes enough!

I just took Alyssa’s class (Full Body Burn : Sculpt + Strengthen with Vital Light Therapy) in The Cellar and it was AMAZING. Alyssa is such an incredible and FUN instructor and she really kicked my butt in there — I was sweating up a storm. Also the red light therapy felt so reviving. Such a unique experience!!! Definitely recommend, 11/10!!!!

I can’t recommend this gym enough! The staff is amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and always approachable. It has such a personal and welcoming vibe that makes it a standout in the neighborhood.
The facility itself is always spotless, and it’s never too crowded, which makes working out here a real pleasure. Special shoutout to Jazmin, who is an incredible trainer! Her new Vital Light Therapy classes are a game-changer. The Sculpt and Strengthen classes are my go-to—they’re super effective, efficient, and the added infrared light therapy is such a fantastic bonus.
For everything you get, this gym is an amazing deal. It’s become one of my favorite places in the neighborhood!

Absolutely loved my experience at District! The equipment is brand new and offers a wide variety for your workout. They also provide 15-45 min workouts on their app targeting the areas you’d like to work that day if you’re feeling stuck. It’s very clean, not crowded and has great music playing on every floor if you forget your headphones. Highly recommend!

I love DISTRICT! I loved it from the moment I walked in and noticed the "You've already won" message in the tiled floor at the entrance.
Who doesn't feel great to be met with those words the moment they step into a gym?
The second thing I noticed was the fresh, pleasant smell, verging on what you'd find at a spa, followed quickly by the sight of soothing paint colors and brownstone features like wooden mouldings and large windows.
This is a light-filled space. The peloton bikes are positioned in the large front windows. Biking with a view!
The training program, set up by a trainer who does an in-person evaluation, is customized to your goals, and managed by an app making it something you can follow on your own, independent of a trainer. It's super comprehensive, including short clip videos of each exercise and a log to chart your progress.
The staff is amazing, the best. Literally everyone I've encountered is smiling... truly friendly, also knowledgable and helpful. Classes are varied and offered at convenient times. The instructors are motivating, knowing how to both challenge you and make it fun enough for you to return again and again.
The gym offers coached hours a few times a week when a trainer is there simply to answer questions or show you how to set up a particular piece of equipment.
Oh, and the equipment... they have it all. Racks and plates for the big lifters, dumbbells galore, bands, kettlebells, battle ropes, sleds, and cardio equipment including rowers, bikes, treadmills, ellipticals and steppers.
This is a well-curated boutique (small, personal, feels-like-home) gym to which you not only won't mind, but you'll actually look forward to coming. Well done, DISTRICT.

This gym is a gem! I was not sure what to think when I heard the term "a brownstone gym" . Now that I go there I realize how lucky we are to have this beautiful (and very well maintained )gym. It's across the street from me so I feel extra blessed!I love everything about District and the best part is that its never so crowded that you have to wait around for machines and/or props. The owners & trainers are amazing too. I get a warm and happy buzz the second I walk in-- just great!

I can’t say enough great things about this boutique gym! It’s housed in a beautifully converted townhouse, which gives it such a unique, cozy, and personalized vibe—nothing like the big, impersonal gym chains. From the moment you walk in, you can tell a lot of thought went into every detail.
The space is incredibly well-designed, making the most of the townhouse layout while still offering all the equipment you could need. The machines and weights are top-notch, and there’s a perfect mix of modern fitness tech and more classic equipment.
What really stands out is how personalized the experience feels. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable, and they clearly care about creating an environment that caters to individual fitness goals. It’s not just a place to work out; it feels like a community where everyone is welcomed and supported. They even let my dad come with me when he was visiting!

I cannot say enough great things about District Fitness in Carroll Gardens! From the moment you walk in, you can tell no detail was overlooked in creating a top-notch experience. The facility is pristine, with state-of-the-art equipment and a modern, luxurious design that makes every workout feel special.
Angelo and Nick are incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, always going above and beyond to make you feel at home and help you reach your fitness goals. The variety of classes offered is amazing—everything from yoga and HIIT to Zumba and strength training. Each class is led by expert instructors who bring energy and professionalism to every session. I especially love the classes they do outside in the park!
It’s clear they’ve thought of everything to create an all-encompassing wellness experience.
I couldn’t ask for a better fitness center to call my neighborhood go-to. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place that combines fitness and community. 5 stars all the way!

I love this gym!! Nick and Angelo and all the trainers are absolutely amazing. I’m new to the gym world and the community here is so supportive and kind, it’s made me so consistent with my fitness journey. I struggle with gym anxiety because I’m still a beginner but I feel so welcome and comfortable already. Thank you Nick, Angelo and Jazmin!!! District is exactly what I was looking for - the gym has all kinds of equipment and classes to meet a broad range of fitness goals and never feels overcrowded. There are a number of different rooms with different equipment so you can focus on your own movement with your own personal space. There’s always a fitness trainer around to ask questions or train with - everyone has been so encouraging and kind to show me the ropes. I absolutely love working out here!! Even made some gym buddies. Wouldn’t change a thing about this spot!

Fantastic gym, thoughtfully designed and owned and staffed by awesome people. Aside from the obvious (e.g. yes it is a gym) it’s unlike any other gym I’ve been to, in the best possible ways - starting with the fact that it’s in a completely renovated / repurposed brownstone instead of a conventional commercial building. Super clean, 24/7 access, has all the equipment any reasonable human could need (and the best versions of it) etc. For anyone in Carroll Gardens or Cobble Hill, it also could not be more conveniently located, right by the Lucali slice shop. For anyone like me who relied on Body Elite (RIP), this is the long-awaited antidote, but 100x better. Grateful to have it in the neighborhood.

Carroll Gardens was in such need of an actual gym with actual weights and machines, and not another pilates studio. I have nothing against pilates, we just have too many studios and no spaces to lift heavy iron circles.
Nick and Angelo, the owners, have delivered just that: an actual gym. They also offer classes if that is more your vibe.
The space is very welcoming and clean, and since the reception, you get a pleasant smell and a good vibe. It’s very spacious, there are 2 floors, and it gets great natural light.
The machines are all brand new, fully equipped with various attachments for the pulley machines and everything.
The staff is so knowledgeable, and they have great energy! At least everyone I’ve had a chance to interact with has something valuable to share about fitness and has treated me with an absolutely fantastic energy!

District has been the best investment in my well-being. I absolutely love training with my trainer Jazmin. She’s extremely knowledgeable and inspiring. I feel so proud of myself and accomplished after each session, and that positive energy carries into the rest of my day outside the gym.
Overall I’ve become happier and more productive by going to District. After working out in a spacious beautiful brownstone I can’t go back to a tradition gym. The instructors are so talented and kind, and the classes are so fun and fly by. Their membership and class pricing is very fair and totally worth it. Not overcrowded like other places.
