Positive experience: **Today was first day they asked for purple "Vax Pass" and the green "daily screener" was not being taken.**The gym weight room is quite small and usually packed with people coming in groups.. The basketball Court is very spacious, large, and usually empty. I primarily come for the aquatics, but it gets very packed after 5 p.m. Currently, you can't use the kickboards, need a swim cap for hair longer than your shoulder. Hoping it'll stay open up on the weekends come fall.

Positive experience: It's a smaller gym so I would not recommend coming here after day classes or during the evening because it will be super packed. Early in the morning would be a better a time if you want access to equipment without having to wait.

Positive experience: I decided to try out the Palladium Athletic Facility today as an NYU staff member. The staff members were pleasant, I received a tour upon request. The weight and cardio rooms were substantially smaller than I expected since this is advertised as a top-of-the-line athletic facility. The weight machines looked archaic compared to the commercial gyms I have used. And didn't have many of them. I couldn't find several machines that I'm used to at commercial gyms. Once I had finished using and wiping down my first weight machine, I was stopped (politely) by a staff member saying that I couldn't wear what I was wearing at the gym. I was a bit shocked. I've been going to a gym (Planet Fitness) for about 3 years and never told I couldn't wear what I was wearing. I was wearing a t-shirt and chinos. Certainly nothing offensive. I was referred to the manager when I asked the reasoning for the "dress code". I was told that you must wear "athletic attire" to use their gym because non-athletic attire may damage their equipment. I was told that all gyms have this type of dress code. The manager informed me that all other NYU Athletic Facilities also enforce this policy (and others). The manager offered to refund me what I paid for a 2-week trial at the facility, which was considerate. If you have a planet fitness membership or any other membership that gives you the freedom to wear reasonable clothing and don't want to sacrifice that for a "dress code", I'd steer clear.
