Where to lift in NYC/Brooklyn?

Does anybody have a good recommendation for a gym in NYC or Brooklyn for someone interested in the 5x5 program? I'm not looking for a fancy gym, just someplace with a squat rack/power rack/bench and perhaps some decent trainers to help me get started.

Thanks!

    If you want to go economical, there's always Bally's... but the price is offset by waiting for the rack at peak times.
    There's also Dolphin fitness and Gold's Gym. Those two are what comes to mind for a more serious set up for lifting.
  • Check the local YMCA. The one I used to go to in Queens was pretty decent in terms of machines, weights, cardio machines and trainers.
