INWOOD — A pair of mask-wearing robbers held up a Dyckman Street gym, stealing hundreds of dollars in cash while pointing a pistol at a frightened employee, the NYPD said.

Two men wearing Halloween masks and baseball caps entered the Planet Fitness at 177 Dyckman St. shortly before midnight on Sept. 16, police said.

While one of the suspects approached the woman working behind the front desk, a second man wearing a black hoodie jumped over the counter, pointed a gun at the employee and pushed her toward a cash register, video surveillance shows.

The employee opened two cash registers and the suspects stole money from both of them before fleeing the scene, the video shows.

The suspects made off with a total of $800 in cash, police said.

No injuries were reported.

The first suspect was wearing a white gloves and a white Milwaukee Brewers baseball jersey with the name Fielder on the back, police said. The second man was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, jeans and white gloves, police added.

Plant Fitness has three uptown locations, and the Dyckman Street branch opened in 2011. 

The gym did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
