"THE MAN WHO MADE WORKING OUT COOL" NY TIMES
About DavidBarton
Walking into the gym at 16 years old as a troubled kid from the Reduce East Side changed everything for David Barton. Inside, cops and criminals trained side by side. There were no judgments—just sweat, grit, and transformation. That gym wasn’t governed by the law. It was under the jurisdiction of effort. And that was his first gym on 16th Street—a place for people whose religion was fitness.
Being everything but part of the chain movement, David built a modern kind of gym—a territory where serious fitness meets unapologetic style. A residence for visionaries, fashionistas, creatives, and misfits. People who train hard, live boldly, and move differently.
Gym U by David Barton is powered by the foremost equipment in the earth, game-changing technology, and iconic design. We're the only gym with Italian Panatta machines and the revolutionary Neubie—designed to push your body beyond limits.

7 Queer-Friendly Gyms & Workouts To Check Out In NYC
The workout: is not a dance class, it’s a dance party. You’ll want to show up 15 minutes before class to get situated (and snap a pre-class selfie). They recommend newbies withstand toward the middle of the second row, so you can see the instructor from all angles. Follow along with the instructor's dance cardio choreography. When you hear a "WOOP WOOP," that's your signal that the moves are going to change.
The vibe: This studio is a loud, rebellious, and welcoming space for all shapes, sizes, colors, gender identities, and fitness levels. "You’re always welcome to alter to your fitness level, grab water at any time, and take breaks whenever you need to," says Sadie Kurzban, founder and CEO of Fitness. "Listen to your bod."
Pride perks: will host Pride-themed classes in NYC and LA this month to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. "We'll have a drag queen host in each city and surprises in every class," Kurzban says. Can't make it?
