I am a fan of changing use to Real Estate, and this one is extraordinary. It must be surreal thing inside this beauty with such mixed energy within its walls. . #NYC The Limelight Fitness has been a staple of #Chelsea, New York since #1845. The beautiful gothic revival has had many faces, from a church to a night club and now a luxury gym. Newly renovated and full of modern amenities, the lively club atmosphere can still be felt every time you walk in, one reason the boutique group fitness classes are so outrageous. In 1852 was the Church of the Holy Communion. Its architect, #RichardUpjohn, designed several other #Anglican #churches in #Manhattan. Angela Jia Kim, a former tenant of the space, points out, its history feels so unique to New York, and speaks to the city’s culture on a deep level. "It’s a church of contradictions," she says. "To go from a place of worship to a place of sin to a marketplace to now a gym—it’s outrageous and creative. It embodies the idea that you can do anything here. That a church like that would go through so many lives—it’s just so New York." .
