Asphalt Green
Asphalt Green is a nonprofit organization that provides high-quality sports, swim, and fitness instruction and programs to New York City children and adults. With two locations in Manhattan, Asphalt Green offers a diverse range of services that cater to individuals of all skill levels, from the first-time exerciser or new swimmer to elite athletes training for Ironman.
Asphalt Green functions on various levels. At our facilities, we offer memberships to use our top-notch fitness center and pools. We also run instructional classes and programs for children and adults on a term basis four times throughout the year—winter, spring, summer, and fall term. Programs include everything from infant swim and diving classes to youth basketball leagues and private Pilates Reformer classes.
Additionally, we run free and low-cost community programs to provide our services to a larger population of New York City residents. Our community programs include free swim classes for public school kids, free sports leagues for middle school kids, and free fitness classes for seniors.
Patronage at Asphalt Green helps support our community programs, which helps us provide free services and scholarships to New Yorkers in need. Our dedication to serving the community makes us more than your average sports and fitness provider.
Asphalt Green transforms lives and builds community through sports, fitness, and play for all.
Asphalt Green is a not-for-profit organization that empowers athletes and fitness enthusiasts of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to live active and healthier lives. From toddlers making their first splash in the water, to Olympic athletes training for glory and older adults looking to stay active, we offer a diverse range of programs that provide our members with the tools and support they need to reach their goals.
Today, Asphalt Green has also become New York City’s premier destination for youth athletics. Our AGUA swim team and Asphalt Green Soccer Club compete nationally and share a history of producing collegiate athletes and Olympic medalists. In addition, we offer recreational leagues and instructional classes for young athletes of all ages and skill levels.
Most importantly, all our programs share the same standards of excellence and support our cause to deliver sports, fitness, and play to all.
AQUATICS
Swim School classes and private swim lessons are back! Reduced class sizes, increased cleaning frequency, social distancing, and other protocols have been implemented to keep our community safe.
Asphalt Green’s aquatics programs feature first-class instructional swim classes, lifeguard training, competitive swim teams, water exercise classes and more. Our aquatics programs accommodate swimmers of all ages and skill levels. Our swim instructors are trained to work with infants and first time swimmers through elite athletes training for the Olympics.
We strive to teach every person a love for swimming and the ability to use swimming as a way to maintain a healthy and fit lifestyle. We are committed to helping everyone feel comfortable in the pool, whether it is swimming for leisure, exercise or competitive sport.
SPORTS
Asphalt Green’s sports programs feature first-class instructional classes, recreational leagues and select competitive teams for all ages and skill levels. Beyond skill development, we foster a love of the game to encourage a lifetime of activity through sports. All of our coaches and instructors practice the principles of the Positive Coaching Alliance. As such, our staff strives to help individuals develop skills, build confidence, and promote teamwork and sportsmanship.
Our sports curriculum has been developed to match the age-range of our students and is based off specific learning outcomes related to mental, physical and emotional aspects of sports. From basic ball handling and motor skills to competitive play, we are committed to offering high quality sports programs for all ages.

Membership Options
Asphalt Green offers a comprehensive fitness experience for all ages and skill levels. More than just a gym, our members are part of a community dedicated to living an active and healthy lifestyle through sports and fitness. We have six membership options available for adults and families, which include varying access to our facilities.
With the support of our community, Asphalt Green is building a world where everyone can experience the life-changing benefits of exercise. Sports, fitness, and play are proven to transform our physical and mental health and bring our communities closer together, but barriers to play are keeping too many people out of the game.
