NYU Athletics

Located at 140 East 14th Street near Union Square, the Palladium Athletic Facility (PAF) is the latest in cutting edge sports complexes designed to feel like a private health club. Boasting a hydro-dynamically-designed, L-shaped, deep-water pool, perfect for anything from swimming laps to varsity-level competition in swimming, diving, and water polo. The Palladium is sure to wow even the hardened New York City sports-club-goer. The lounge area overlooks both the pool and the main court area and has an LED TV and various seating. One can choose to lounge in perfect comfort or venture into the more challenging parts of the complex that contain state-of-the-art machines and weights.

Some of the highlights include a 3,140-square-foot weight room complete with free weights, plate-loaded machines, and selectorized machines. On the lower level is a 3,433-square-foot aerobic fitness room dedicated to cardio equipment, including powermills, treadmills, elliptical trainers, arc trainers, and stationary bicycles. Each machine is outfitted with personal TV consoles into which patrons can connect their headphones to choose from the wide range of programming offered by NYU Campus Cable or browse the apps provided. From this room, one can move to the 30-foot-high climbing center that spans the two floors between the exercise room and the weight room. Existing separately from the two rooms is a group cycling room perfect for classes or general use. The latest ICG spin bikes offer interactive coach by color technology, which you can follow along on the big screen TV. 

The main court can be used for either volleyball or basketball. As a regulation-sized basketball court housing six baskets, it is suitable for both half- and full-court play.
