After going to this gym for 2 years and loving my experience, I have to speak out about the management of their memberships. I cancelled my membership in person in April this year and still received charges for two mo ths afterwards. I had to follow up with them numerous times and it ultimately took them months to respond to my issue because they lost my membership termination form. I will keep getting charged until I go back in person to cancel a second time- let's hope they don't lose the form again! INVEST IN A DIGITAL SYSTEM FOR DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT, YOU CANNOT DO BUSINESS ONLY BY PAPER IN 2021

This gym was absolutely fantastic. The equipment phenomenal and the people who are in the gym have always been extremally friendly. Unfortunately I did have to cancel my membership and the staff were super understanding and made the process very simple. If I return to the area then I definitely plan on buying a membership again.

There are great people at this gym. It’s clean, the personal trainers (e.g. Jerry) are nice, and Kevin, who’s the GM, gave me a great tour of the gym when I started. However, I was promised a 30 day risk free trial, and I was to cancel before 2/13/21. I cancelled on 2/12/21, and was told by the young front desk professional that I was all set. I even asked a second time are you sure I don’t need anything else, and she said no.Fast forward a week later, I looked at my credit card statement and I was charged $79.98. I called in to dispute this charge and Julie, who I believe is another manager at the gym, argued with me to say that I lied about ever cancelling.I am disputing this charge with my credit card, and please beware of shady bookkeeping/trial practices with this gym.This is really unfortunate because I enjoyed my time here, with the only negative being not being able to deadlift because of understandable policies regarding the office work downstairs (the gym is located on the 2nd floor of an office building)

Love my gym, 5 years and although I haven’t been back since Covid this is by far the most beautiful pleasent to the eye cleanest gym around!

I showed up asking to try the gym for 1 day with full intention to sign up my family. I was asked to pay $20 and offered no flexibility on this rule. Assembly Sports Club lost the easiest customer sign ups they could ask for.

For $35/mo, it's really great. All the equipment is new and has most of the things you would need. Plus, there's few people there, free parking, and it's sparkling clean. The color scheme is pretty uggos though (bright green and blue) but that doesn't really matter. I saw reviews complaining about customer service, but they were nice from the limited interaction I had at the front desk. She wasn't all chip chip chiparoo, but in no way was she rude.Actual Cons: There's no traditional squat rack or a lot of space to do free form things, so if you're a power lifter, cross fitter, etc. it is not the gym for you. The shape of the building is a little odd so the placement of the equipment is spread out, making it a bit difficult to find what you want.Tip: They have a 30 day free trial. Also, if you become a member, you can bring someone in for free everytime.TLDR: Good bang for your buck. Clean. New equipment. Not for cross fitters, power lifters, or class pass users.

i have lived in NYC and Boston for most of my adult life and this GYM is literally the best bang for the buck you can get for the quality of classes offered. There isn't a single other place that offers the fitness classes ranging form cardio focused classes includig cycling, zumba to strength training workouts like HIIT, body pump, barre, yoga, etc. for like $35 dollars a month. i have paid on average $65 on other gyms with similar amenities. I travel a lot so wasn't really going to my classes so terminated my membership yesterday after being a member for 3 years and i was surprised at how easy that process was. As long as you cancel by the 10th of the month they won't charge you for next month. Where do you find this kind of service anymore? This GYM deserves all the 5 stars.

Super clean and friendly environment. Really went above and beyond for me when I had to cancel my membership (moving out of state).
