NYC Gyms? - Change of Atmosphere

Does anyone know of a good (bodybuilder) gym to go to in NYC or Brooklyn? I have been a member of two commercial gyms now and I can’t take it anymore.

There is no clanking of iron
There is little sweating going on
The music is homo-erotic
I have heard personal trainers shush people for grunting
People enjoy conversations MID SET
There are very few people to learn from, except what not to do.

You get the idea.

Can you be more specific about where in Manhattan or Brooklyn you’d consider? This city is a big place . . . .

Check out 5th Avenue Gym. Iv heard a lot of good things about it.

Thanks, good point. Right now I take a subway up to 42nd from Canal. A gym that is downtown and near a subway is ideal but I don’t mind a small travel time. In brooklyn a location along the “L” train is best.
