This is by far the best gym I have ever been a member of!! The staff at the front desk are always super friendly and helpful and there are people cleaning constantly, its very well kept and they replaced the floor and a bunch of equipment in the weight room earlier this year and got new spin bikes last month. The hot yoga and spin classes are better than the stand-alone studios in Albany that I tried before joining this gym. All the instructors and classes were awesome but my favorites were Wei Wei's Monday night hot power yoga, Jenny's Tuesday night spin fusion, and Lisa Wood's Saturday morning spin class (her playlists are amazing)!! My membership was $40/month and included unlimited hot yoga and spin - thats an incredible deal!! I only wish there was a Best Fitness in my new city.

I attend the gym 4 - 5 times a week and find all the staff professional and friendly. They even have trivia questions that we discuss every time I enter the gym. It is a great way to start my workout.A big shot out to my Personal Trainer Tim B. He is very knowledgeable and personable and knows just how to motivate me. He is always going to the Lab looking for ways to switch things up to help me reach my goals. He throughly explains what the exercise is and what muscles are being worked. I have seen muscle gain and strength.💪🏻I also joined their BLEAN program this fall. It has been a great experience. The program has given lots of educational materials along with a nutritionist to answer your questions. By following the program both with nutrition and working with my trainer Tim B., I have lost weight, body fat and gained muscle. I am getting closer to my goals because of BLEAN. 👊🏻I highly recommend Best Fitness -Albany

One of the best gyms I’ve ever been a member of, and one of the places I think gives you a good bang for your buck. Clean locker rooms, sanitizers everywhere, and a maintenance staff that fixes broken equipment asap. The staff are some of my favorite people and I’ve never had a bad experience with them.I’ve been a member for ~3 years and have done both the classes and the personal training. The classes are super fun and there’s a good variety of them. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because I think the amount of classes they offer per week (specifically the spin classes) could be better, but I make it work with my schedule. The personal trainers are great (shout out to Jenny) and will do their best to work with your schedule and budget. They were also great to work with to freeze my membership during Covid and after when I did not feel comfortable coming back to the gym.Overall, I highly recommend Best Fitness, as I’ve stuck with Best Fitness even after moving all around the capital region.

Came here looking for a place to get a cycling workout in. They offered a free guest pass which was cool and the front desk attendant was helpful in getting me checked in - but then said their cycling studio was only allowed to be use when …

Nice club but the financial agreement is an absolute, complete scam! The contracts are held by ABC Fitness--not the gym--and are very difficult to cancel. The fees you end up paying are way higher than you initially think--you'll be on the …

Unfortunately, the lack of professionalism and respect among the environmental workers are present at its lowest level. I don’t think anyone goes to a gym to be randomly disrespected in front of others and be told “ this is your last workout” due to a different usage of the machines or perhaps the employee is having a bad day or not liking their job. I believe certain employees should also be trained to be kind and know their job limitations and improve on their communication skills without having to randomly disrespect others for simply resting on the machine of use between sets. I didn’t want to complain about the employee because I think everyone deserves a second chance and I thought the front desk guy took care of it as he was there and assessed the situation. Unfortunately, after years of being there and loving it, today I got a call informing me that my membership is being terminated. I’m sure I won’t be the last to encounter this, but Sure I don’t want anyone to feel this way in the future. I also encourage you to reach out to the management to adress your concerns to have a better workout environment.

Nice place but their billing system is a complete scam. I have terminated my membership in march 2022, they gave me a closing document mentioning the same and they are still charging me every month. I would not recommended this gym to anyone who are looking for peace. Do not give them your account or routing numbers. Just don't visit the place and you will be fine.
