If yuo are an independant contractor and pay a gym to use their space/equipment, you can charge between $50-100. It also depends on where you live.
If you work in an affluent community, you can charge $75-100/hour and get it. However, with any golden salary, the skill of retaining clients is what makes or breaks you.
$100/hour sounds good....but if Mrs. Jones is does renew with you after 10 sessions and you need to replace her and can't...say goodbye to that predicted salary.
I live in one of the boroughs (Queens), 15 minutes away from NYC (Manhattan).

This sounds encouraging. Sounds like retaining clients is a skill that can be aquired with practice, so this suggests that the earning potetial is there.
