NYU Athletics

NYU Retiree and Family Interim Membership Information

Memberships
NYU is making provisions to meet as many fitness and athletic needs as possible during the period when we build a modern, new athletic facility as part of a new building - to be constructed on the site of Coles - that will also provide new classroom space, specialized space for performing arts education and practice, student housing, and faculty housing.

During the time the new gym is under construction, NYU retirees and their families will have access to a robust network of three other NYU-owned and operated facilities. Free membership will continue to be offered to retirees and their families each year, just as is the past. Further inquiries can also be sent to the Membership Office by submitting this form. The appropriate membership application forms for retirees can be found here and for retiree family members can be found here.

Facilities
The new facilities will include:
  • a new athletic facility at 404 Lafayette Street between E 4th Street and Astor Place, which:
    • is located five blocks from Bobst and seven blocks from Union Square.
    • occupies three air conditioned floors and has an area of approximately 29,786 square feet.
    • features 20 more pieces of cardio equipment than Coles.
  • the Palladium Athletic Facility with extended hours,
  • the newly-renovated Brooklyn Athletic Facility in the Jacobs Building and Roger Hall at Six Metro Tech Center in downtown Brooklyn, also with extended hours.
