Profile
The East 54th New York City Parks and Recreation Center is a quirky little gym where for $75 a year�not enough to cover the cost of one training session at the glitzy nearby megagym�members run, lift, and swim with no pretensions. Built in 1911 to provide public showers for the city’s working poor, the renovated center has a lap pool, a basketball court, and an indoor track as well as its own minimalist takes on weight and cardio rooms. You can forget flat-screen TVs and towel service, but for $6.25 a month, you will, gladly.
