After my twins were born, I was always too busy to go to the gym (or at least that's what I told myself). Then before I knew it 10 years had passed and I had put on a lot of excess weight. I never felt good, let alone how it affected me mentally every time I looked in the mirror or had to shop for clothing. Then in December I finally got sick and tired of being sick and tired. A friend suggested I give her gym a try and I started my membership at Best Fitness Schenectedy that month. Little did I know I was going to strike GOLD!!! I love this place. It's clean, there truly is no feeling of being judged, and there's no high pressure environment. I did do an evaluation that led me to hire a trainer but that was my decision and I had many years to make up for in neglecting myself. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I've even had to ask a few other members for help on occasion and they've been super. I'm finally finding myself again. Three months after joining, I had lost 13 pounds and was down almost 5% body fat. I'm smiling again when I look in the mirror! Don't get me started on my trainer, Alana B. This woman is a key factor in my successes. She's understanding but firm, professional, knowledgeable, motivating, encouraging and always positive even when she has to push me a little harder. She's real and has an energy that's contagious. I always leave the gym feeling like I've accomplished something that's going to get me to my end goals. Ryan T was my first experience with an instructor for any of the classes. His HITT classes will kick your butt but are so rewarding. He is perfect at making you feel like you can achieve anything and that you belong here. His ability to inspire your best will make you want to set your alarm to take his next class. I do believe I've found my home. All of my experiences here have been positive from billing to employees and the facility itself I would strongly encourage anyone to give it a try. What is there to lose other than extra weight and negative self thoughts?Holly B.Glenville, NY

Amazing staff here and an excellent gym! Eric and Emily made sure I had a great experience up front. The gym was clean and spacious and they actually play good workout music in the gym area.

As a Member I have lost over 60+ Pounds with Best Fitness. The Professional Staff and Trainers remained focused and dedicated to my Fitness Goals and to keeping me motivated throughout the process. I Highly Recommend this Fitness Center also for the Strict Policies in place to combat COVID-19 in terms of Social Distancing, Mask Requirements, and Consistent Sanitation by Maintenance Staff . I will be remaining a Loyal Member!

I joined Best Fitness around 3 years ago after tearing my ACL. Little did I know the people there would become like a second family to me. I do use their personal training services which have gotten me not only back to the shape I was in before my injury but probably even better. Ryan is amazing and knows how to keep you positive to achieve any goal you set for yourself. Best Fitness also offers a wide range of classes that I absolutely love. Spin, hot yoga, barre, strength and cardio are some that I take regularly. The schedule is set up so you’re able to take multiple classes a day if you want. Best Fitness has also handled the Covid protocols wonderfully and they are strictly enforced. I know this wasn’t an easy adjustment for us all but their employees always are so polite. I would recommend any of the three locations in the Capitol District!

I originally went into the gym to freeze my account and had to sit down with one of the managers so they could give me the details on how freezing would impact my membership. I was impressed that they are allowing people to freeze free of charge, and after I got talking with the manager, he was so reassuring that I wasn’t alone in my concerns and the gym was doing everything to maintain a safe environment. Sooo I decided to come back rather than freeze, and I’ve only been a few times now, but it has been great so far. Thank you Best!

Currently a member at Vent but just checked back at Best Fitness and Eric has this place running better than ever. The new upgrade and innovations make this one of the best workout spaces in the area. The staff was very accommodating and I will certainly switching back over. Couldn’t be happier with the welcome back

I have been to a couple gyms before best fitness and none of them were even close to BEST Fitness. They offer a ton of different classes, my favorite being bfitt60 which is a high intensity class with an amazing coach who is also one of the best trainers there.. everyone is very friendly and the gym is also super clean! Since the opening of COVID, the gym has been running very smoothly, the people are super respectful of cleaning equipment and keeping their distance from eachother .. overall 5/5 recommendation for this gym! I am glad to call this gym my second home!

Just wanted to say thanks to the Housekeeping crew! They are always detailing the equipment and cleaning the locker room. I've noticed it before Covid-19 started so it's nice to see they have been doing extensive cleaning. So I definitely recommend this Best Fitness if you want a clean and professional gym.I've been a member for 3 years and no issues .

Best gym in New York can’t recommend the gym enough. Feel very safe and comfortable using facility during COVID. Mask policy strictly enforced at all times, everyone is social distancing and cleaning at all times. Workers have also done an awesome job keeping the gym clean and sanitary at all times. Safe gym, awesome gym, Love the gym, and most of all appreciate it and the workers.
