About DavidBarton
Walking into the gym at 16 years old as a troubled kid from the Lower East Side changed everything for David Barton. Inside, cops and criminals trained side by side. There were no judgments—just sweat, grit, and transformation. That gym wasn’t governed by the law. It was under the jurisdiction of effort. And that was his first gym on 16th Street—a place for people whose religion was fitness.
Being everything but part of the chain movement, David built a new kind of gym—a space where serious fitness meets unapologetic style. A home for visionaries, fashionistas, creatives, and misfits. People who train hard, live boldly, and move differently.
Gym U by David Barton is powered by the best equipment in the world, game-changing technology, and iconic design. We're the only gym with Italian Panatta machines and the revolutionary Neubie—designed to push your body beyond limits.
