"I’ve supported many gyms in the past without ever attending regularly and then not attending at all. Having Zach as my trainer three times a week makes all the difference. The only time I miss a session is if I am out of town. He works me hard and I feel great after each visit!"

"Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere! The Rego Park location is grossly overcrowded, poorly designed, machines are often needing repairs and the locker rooms are disgusting. There is zero management presence and the facility is very poorly maintained. Every third machine is broken. Save us all some time, just put signs on working machines and our workouts will go a lot quicker. The only thing that’s meticulously maintained is their printer for printing out all them out of order signs! Machines are placed haphazardly and the layout doesn’t make any sense. The turf area takes up too much space and is grossly underutilized. The dumbbell room is one of the busiest areas yet confined to a crammed room with zero ventilation wreaking of body odor. There are sufficient power racks so the ridiculously large wooden platforms are a waste of space and trip hazard. One easy fix is to buy more plates to address the ridiculous shortage, which has not been done. It’s very frustrating to have to search for plates and carry across the room to your machine. Each machine should be stacked with weights to avoid this annoying ongoing hassle. Also fix the lockers as every other one is needing repair. This location is a notorious high school hangout. Way too many kids hanging around, loitering and monopolizing machines while on their phones. Management needs to be more proactive in addressing this major problem. And tripods should not be allowed on the floor for obvious reasons. It is blatant management doesn't care. Something as simple as buying more plates, they are not willing to do. What is justifying the constant rate increases?"

"Great gym but my issue is ...they won't let you use multiple punching bags they have because they let some angry with their life patrons punch the bags and break it. So for a guy like me who just wants to stay conditioned and on my toes I can't use it to avoid breaking which I wouldn't. I offered to have someone monitor me but still no resolve so for that the gym gets a 2 star rating. Also spoke to current general manager and I still can't use punching bags"

"Are you a tri-pod lifter, who worries more about filming content then actually doing a workout in the gym? Do you want to spend 5 hours at the rig blocking the other rigs with your tripod to film your 3 sets of deadlifts? Want to vape on the gym floor and canoodle in the lifting area? Want to leave equipment wherever it lands and not clean up after yourself? Always wanted to try out barbells but don’t have a clue how to use them safely? Don’t like clipping the weights on the bar especially when using more weight than you can lift so the weights fly off? Is hygiene not important to you and using hand soap overrated? Don’t like using dumbbells under 40lbs and like taking laps to find dumbbells that are randomly strewn around the gym? Enjoy lifting with dumbbells in a toxic smelling room with no air? Need somewhere for your teenager to go after school without being chaperoned and no rules? THEN THIS IS THE GYM FOR YOU! A gym that promotes barbell club and lies about getting equipment for those who want to lift. It’s been 11 months of promises, and nothing has changed except the managers, who all claim to be new and don’t know anything and constantly state: wow I had no idea when asked about anything. Oh and of course, a membership price increase to cover improvements, when nothing has improved. Stealing of rower foot pedals (why is this a thing), rowers that haven’t been serviced and don’t work correctly if at all. Treadmills are all set to different inclines, you never know what incline you are on, but according to management are fine. Ski ergs that don’t work and never worked. Promises of 15kg Olympic barbells for 11 months and zero movement, each manager confused there aren’t any then guaranteeing they would get them only to repeat that statement 2 weeks later. 6 weeks to get soap in the ladies’ locker room and the place is a never properly cleaned so if you touch something you will end up with random dirt and ick and who knows what else on you. This is the only local gym, so we have no options, and it really is sad how poorly management has let this gym go. They promote having management walk through weekly to monitor the equipment, which is not possible. That would require them to leave the front desk, they can’t even refill the water system they just got… Edit to add: doing better and the water is broken? But buy a .99 bottle for 1.90 from NYSC? Yeah so maybe fire your internet person and fix your gym!! These standard responses are like bot written"

"I have been training for a year at NYSC in Rego Park... ever since they told me that they were going to put in new machines... but they haven't done it. Half of the machines are damaged and it takes a month to fix them and it is always like this... the sauna does not work and the cleaning service is terrible, bad smell in the changing tables, there is no hand soap. dirty carpets. They actually charge maintenance that is not seen, and a monthly payment that is punctual but is not worth it. It wouldn't be fair to recommend this place. and I am an active member because I live 3 blocks away and it is the closest I have to my house"
