About FICS by PRTL

FICS by PRTL is a fitness recovery and wellness studio tucked into the third floor of a Chelsea building on West 23rd Street in Manhattan. Originally launched as HACKD Fitness before rebranding under the PRTL umbrella, the studio has carved out a niche serving serious athletes, weekend warriors, and overworked New Yorkers who need targeted recovery without the spa-day frills. The service menu leans heavily into technology-driven modalities: electric cryotherapy (no nitrogen gas), photobiomodulation light therapy panels, infrared sauna, Normatec compression boots, and the ZeroBody weightless flotation treatment. The studio also offers Cryo T-Shock treatments for localized fat reduction, IV and NAD+ therapy for cellular recovery, and chiropractic care by appointment. It is a dense concentration of recovery tools in a compact Manhattan footprint. FICS operates as a women-owned business and accepts insurance for certain chiropractic services—an unusual feature in the boutique recovery space. The studio provides free Wi-Fi and accepts credit cards, reflecting a modern, frictionless booking experience. Walk-ins and appointments are both available, with hours spanning seven days a week including Sunday mornings. The Chelsea location places FICS within easy reach of Flatiron, Union Square, and the West Village, making it a convenient post-workout or mid-week recovery stop for Manhattan residents. While the studio maintains a lower public review volume than some competitors—typical for a niche recovery studio in a dense urban market—its breadth of modalities and insurance acceptance set it apart from the growing field of NYC recovery lounges.
