I’ve caught the front desk people lying to me a bunch of times.I was a member at the location at 125th and loved it. I moved so I wanted to transfer here. When I inquired about it the people said I had to cancel and pay the fees again. I went back to 125th and they clarified that you don’t in fact need to do that and they could do it. If it wasn’t for the staff at the 125th location I would have lost a bunch of money on cancelling and sign up fees.I hate this gym so much I only lasted a month before wanting to switch back to 125th because I’d rather walk 20 blocks than deal with this gym. Once again, they told me that I can’t transfer and have to pay the fees. They also told me 125th was temporarily closed down and when I called and asked they said that’s not true.To anyone reading this, I prefer the 125th location much better and regret ever having to deal with this location.

I have nothing but great things to say about my past trainers - those are my guys and I loved my experience with 'em. But this club simply cannot be helped and may need to just close.Up until I stopped going, it was a wildly infuriating experience. I would leave in a stress-filled rage because imagine piling on weight through the pandemic, finally finding the motivation to get it off but you go to a gym, spend thousands on PT and membership and be met with broken machines, spray bottles and paper towels to wipe down the machines down, broken equipment, no paper towels in the restrooms, etc. It was so demoralizing.I was fine to just leave and make peace with the experience and I would not have written this review if not for a random charge for membership despite asking numerous times to have my membership canceled. I literally live in NJ now and have no use for the club in general and even if I lived next door I would not patron.I do not play about my money, they've done this numerous times and on principle, I will now work with my bank to block them as a merchant. Would encourage anyone else to do the same.

This location is a disaster. Half the machines are broken. Really dirty floors (hair and dustballs everywhere). And for over a week now, no paper towels so we can’t wipe down machines. How do you run out of paper towels?? And to not provide anything for people to wipe machines down is a health hazard during flu and cold season. Management doesn’t seem to care. I really want to like this gym but I think because they are the only option in the neighborhood, they can get away with terrible facilities maintenance. They make the bare minimum an impossible standard.

I used to love this gym but now I dislike coming here. People don’t clean or replenish in the bathroom. It’s disgusting

The location is great for me, it is close to my home and the hours are very convenient. There are a lot of machines that are good for the kind of work outs I like to do. Some of the equipment needs to be fixed there were handles missing on some of the machines. The staff is very nice and I feel welcome there even though I am definitely not a a fitness expert!

Evening group classes are top-notch, especially total body conditioning on Monday, and body pump and yoga on Wednesday. Amazing teachers. Also quite like the sauna and the fact that the area is always clean. People at the reception are super welcoming, too.

I’ve had complaints in the past but recently prior to those complaints. Efforts have and are being made to ensure better quality of service and faculty. I’m looking forward to my future at this gym and the renovations in November.

You can't beat NYSC 145th Street for convenient location, equipment or staff. Everyone is super friendly, there are plenty of classes and the overall vibe of the place is very nice and conducive to promoting fitness. It's my go-to club.
