Since opening in 1996, the mission of Chelsea Piers Fitness has never changed: provide unrivaled space, unmatched sports facilities, and best-in-class programming all under one roof. In 2018, Chelsea Piers Fitness brought its commitment to world-class fitness to Downtown Brooklyn with its first stand-alone fitness facility.

Our Prospect Heights location is a brand-new facility featuring studio-quality fitness programming, recreational and competitive sports clubs, comprehensive personal training services, communal work and social spaces, artisanal food offerings and a year-round calendar of social and cultural events that reflect the ethos of the neighborhood we serve.
