New York Sports Club

The gym is in a great location and the staff is kind. Nevertheless, the gym is not monitored to ensure people keep masks on. Further, the equipment is faulty (some of the weights - 5s and 10s on machines) aren't useable, even after being told it would get fixed. Lastly, I am frustrated by the lack of cleanliness for the price we pay.

The place is an alright no-frills gym.There’s not enough weightlifting equipment to support the 4:30-7pm rush. I don’t bother going at this time. Some of the equipment is also showing some wear. If you want to do cardio or light dumbbell work, you’ll be alright anytime.I like it because I’m a 5 minute walk away from it and there’s really no other options close by outside of a Planet Fitness and women-only gyms. If it wasn’t so close to me I would give it 3 or 3.5 stars.

I typically go in off hours (basically any time before 4 PM) and absolutely love it. It’s easy to get around and find a spot. Obviously if you’re there in peak hours, it’s limited space and utilities but you can get crafty and people are generaly really cool about working you in between their sets.Also- I’ve noticed the cleaning crew has disappeared? I see the staff doing it, and they’re keeping up, but I think this is unfair to the staff and the people who pay a prime price for a top knotch gym to only receive the bare minimum. Also when will towel service come back? I noticed it’s back for the Pru location, and would love to have that back.

Went here a few times where there were facilities issues with the Wellington location (which was a significantly better gym), and our memberships were temporarily open to all gyms. They charged me an extra fee for it anyways and I spent a week fighting it until I got the money back. Altogether the gym is just a cramped zoo and I didn't care for it.I had cancelled my membership mid-2020 while BSC was battling with the state for their right to not cancel people's memberships for a closed gym, and was fairly confused to find out I was still being billed even after the Wellington location (which my membership had previously been tied to) closed permanently. I didn't realize until after the fact that all the old memberships had been converted to be open to all locations which might be alright if they hadn't just closed their only good location.So I reached out to this branch to confirm my wife and I's memberships would be cancelled immediately (and without fees), and get an explanation for what happened. I cited the dates, and point of contact of the email exchange I had when I had originally asked to have my membership cancelled.They ignored all my attempts to contact them through the BSC web portal. I never received a single email or phone call back in the several weeks I spent reaching out. I finally had to cancel my debit card just to ensure that I definitely wasn't going to be billed again. I made enough noise that I got corporate (still not the Davis Square staff) to speak to me about it. They insisted they weren't liable for any of the old management's malfeasance, and kept changing their story from the local branch never owed me a response to my repeated cancellation requests, to they actually did reach out and then kept changing the dates of when this supposedly happened. It was a mess.The pandemic was certainly unprecedented, but I had memberships to other things and places that were equally impacted and I can say with certainly I didn't have any sort of battles with any other company like this one. The only thing that really seems different with the new BSC management is that they have a more sophisticated corporate body in place to rationalize the same old sketchy gym grift.

Gym itself is pretty good for a commercial gym. However, I've had the most unsatisfactory experience in terms of how they conduct billing. Almost seems like they have no process and everything is up in the air. I got myself a personal trainer for 3 months (since that is apparently the compulsory minimum cycle), and then they forget to turn off my personal trainer charges for month 4 even after I asked them to do so. Refunding does not seem like an option AT ALL, even when they make errors with billing which is so much more infuriating. Then they said they'd put my account on freeze until they fix this, and yet I'm getting charged on my personal trainer billing cycle (AND FOR WHAT!!!?) outside of the regular gym fee. This issue has been out there for more than 2 months now. Extremely unprofessional, and very frustrating! Should've known better and trusted the reviews that had already warned about this..Edit with follow up: They responded on my review with a request to reach out and with a promise to resolve. I emailed on the ID provided, followed up, and haven't had any response. My only piece of advice if you sign yourself up with this gym would be, CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD STATEMENT every month when your billing cycle is due, TRUST ME!

The Overall atmosphere at BSC in Davis is always a wonderful experience. Your greeted with a warm smile from the staff, and are always there to help when you need or want it.The gym itself is always clean and sanitized, and has all the equipment you need to have a full efficient workout.I have been working with Renee->(personal trainer) since February. She shows up to our appointments motivated, with a solid game plan, and inspiration. Not only is she attentive to your needs, she will find alternatives if you can’t complete the task. She uses all the equipment provided at BSC and ensures your comfortable with all of them. Her workout plans are simple yet vigorous which helps you meet your workout goals.! Thank you Renee for hard work, motivation, and positive attitude!

Very conveniently located fitness center in the middle of Davis Square.It can get crowded at times, but if you avoid peak times it can be a great space to workout!

Their front desk staff is extremely incompetent. Bought a day pass and they required me to leave my driver’s license at the front desk, which they left on top of the counter instead of in a drawer and it was stolen. Go work out anywhere else but here.

I've tried to cancel my membership 4 times and it never works. I think I'll have to tell my bank to ban them. I've gone in person like the contract stipulates. Nada.

Located in a convenient area. Decent equipment. Only issue for me was a lack of plate weights by the racks. Only about 400lbs for 3 racks.
