THE ARENA is a regulated gym in an unregulated industry. We have two floors containing a spacious exercise studio and a downstairs turf area. Our intimate and welcoming environment is a haven for those who are looking to lose weight, improve sports performance, sculpt and tone, rehabilitate from injury, or enhance overall health and well-being.
Because the fitness industry does not have any guidelines or standards to uphold, we stand out in the industry. Our personal trainers have access to the most current research in exercise science, and they complete on-site training and educational courses to ensure that our clients safely and successfully reach their goals.

Our 7500 square foot facility has all the amenities of a commercial gym without the crowds, The locker rooms have 5 showers and plenty of day lockers.

Charles DeFrancesco is the owner and founder of the education company, Fit and Functional. He is also a consulting partner for THE ARENA and Fit 4 Fun. He provides all the in house education to the ARENA staff. Charles was co-founder of Greenwich Sports Medicine, where he was in charge of all personal training and therapy operations for over five years.
I've worked with Charles DeFrancesco and his team at THE ARENA over the last 2 years. The student-athletes that have participated in our foundation's activities enjoy the direct feedback and measurement tools that The Arena provides. The staff is engaging, qualified and knowledgeable with a high level of education and training in the field.
Did you know that every major gym has been sued for negligence by their personal trainers? Did you know there were no clear laws to protect consumers from unqualified personal trainers? Did you know that all accredited certifications educate their students and focus on why exercise needs to be individualized to suit your specific body type and personal fitness needs in order to reach your goals?
Many people confuse personal training with strength and conditioning. Personal trainers only work with the general population while strength and conditioning coaches receive extra education to work with athletes. Trainers who specialize in strength and conditioning need to receive an extra certification called a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS).

I have now been training at The Arena for close to 5 months and I could not be happier. I am training with Rob and he has changed my life. He is getting my fitness goals in check and has made a tremendous positive impact in my life. He truly is getting my body and mind right for my wedding in May. Any negative reviews in regards to the facility are NOT accurate at all. I continue to promote my trainer Rob and the facility any chance I get.

The Arena is a hidden gem here in Westchester. The management & staff are some of the most knowledgeable professionals in the fitness industry. I was hesitant to return to the gym environment, yet glad I did, as I must admit that Charlie and his staff maintain strict covid protocols and are constantly sanitizing the equipment and common workout areas. I highly recommend the Arena!

I only work out with a personal trainer in the pt room but she’s top notch called Hideka. The facility is great and the attention is great. I am improving and I am older so it is helpful to have this place in my life.

No contracts, no-set up fees, month to month, affordable price, high-end atmosphere, all toiletries, towels and amenities to get ready in the morning, nice high ceilings with lots of light. I'm very happy I found this place!
It would get 5 stars, but I took away one for being forced to look up and see Fox News on tv. I want positivity in my gym of choice, this is honestly the only drawback for me. If that changes I'll gladly upgrade my star rating!

I may regret writing this because Pure is such a good secret, but given the ridiculous review posted by one person, I don't think it's representative of the gym.
I've toured all of the major fitness facilities in the White Plains area (Lifetime, NY Sports Club, Crunch, YMCA, Planet Fitness) so I understand the pro's and con's of each gym. I chose Pure above all the other gyms because of the cleanliness of the facility, easy parking access, and attentiveness of the staff.
Now that I'm a member, Pure has exceeded my expectations. The management does something I&apos
