Chelsea Piers Fitness is planning another New York City location, announcing the upcoming Chelsea Piers Fitness Hudson Square at 225 W. Houston St. The new club is scheduled to open in the second half of 2026 and is described as spanning 50,000 square feet and occupying a full city block in the Hudson Square neighborhood. The announcement underscores the fitness brand’s continued buildout in Manhattan.
The Hudson Square facility is being positioned as a large-format club with a range of amenities targeted to neighborhood residents and members. Plans call for dedicated group fitness studios, a strength and cardio floor, a recovery suite, a members’ lounge and a kids’ clubhouse. Chelsea Piers Fitness described the project as an opportunity to create an expansive, carefully designed club intended to serve the local community over the long term.
Sam Bernstein, COO of Chelsea Piers Fitness, said the Hudson Square location will allow the company to deliver a club that reflects both the scale of the site and the needs of nearby residents and workers. By taking a full city block, the brand is signaling continued commitment to large footprint health and wellness offerings in dense urban neighborhoods.
The Hudson Square club announcement follows another recent expansion move by the company elsewhere in Manhattan. Four months earlier, Chelsea Piers Fitness signed a 47,000-square-foot lease at TF Cornerstone’s Tower 57, a 37-story office tower at 135 E. 57th St. in Midtown Manhattan that is being converted to residential use. That lease adds a substantial fitness component to a property that is in the midst of a shift from office to residential.
Once the Hudson Square club opens, it will become the sixth Chelsea Piers Fitness location in New York City. Taken together, the upcoming Hudson Square opening and the Tower 57 lease highlight the brand’s focus on expanding its presence in key Manhattan neighborhoods and integrating large-scale fitness amenities into both traditional commercial districts and properties undergoing repositioning.
