14Y’s Fitness Center is Now Open!

Starting October 7, 2020, our Fitness Center has reopened with limited capacity for in-person workouts. For more information on Fitness Center hours, regulations, and to reserve your spot, please visit our Health + Fitness page.

Our team worked hard to refine our operations and is conducting final checks to make sure the Fitness Center meets all New York State guidelines and New York City Department of Health inspection requirements and complies with EPA-approved cleaning and sanitization processes. Our staff has been trained in additional health and safety protocols to keep our community safe.
