New York Sports Club

This gym was extremely well run prior to COVID (new turf, improved layout, re-upholstered machines), and they have been very impressive after re-opening. Everything is remarkably clean and a lot of thought clearly went into re-doing the gym layout to promote social distancing without needing to eliminate a ton of equipment. I've tried out quite a few gyms over the last month or two, and this is easily the best and safest I've felt at any of them. Staff are friendly, professional, and helpful. Very glad this gym is finally back!

I liked this gym until I went to the location 3 times to cancel and no one was there. I called, went again and after weeks someone called me back. I'm still getting charged and now have had to speak to about 7 different people to do something as simple as cancel a membership. All I cancelled for was because my currently building has a gym. Davis Square was kind of small compared to other locations, but was fine as an everyday gym. Be aware you could be charged for months (even with the 45 day fee) unless you have in writing trying to cancel the membership.

I've been going to the Davis Square location for over 3 years and have to say, it can be great at times, but then you get reminded of how poorly the club is managed and wonder why you pay so much for so little.Today (01/29/2020) the Davis locaiton did not open untill after 6:30AM (posted hours are 5:30AM). I can appreciate the moring opener had an emergency but the fact that the GM does not have more than 1 employee open the gym every morning, and there is no alternate in the event of illness/emergency is astounding. Add to the fact that after calling all the other gyms in Boston (who dont have the GM's contact info), another employee got to Davis before the GM, and this is at 6:30AM!I pay $70/month (just so you know, they increase your rate every year by $5.00) and standing outside in 32* temps for an hour does not seem to be $70/month quality.I'd like to report that this is a one-off but this location has a history of poor quality, from messy locker rooms (see pictures) to the gym being closed while being an absolute mess. Again - I dont think $70/month quality involves spending my first 20 mins re-racking weights and clearing the space of empty water bottles and used towels from the night before.I've tried multiple times to bring this up and the buck gets passed along - I highly recomend looking anywhere else if you can, this location alone is the only reason I still go but have started looking at alternates closer to work. If you are deciding between BSC and another gym, choose the other and save your money.

Classes are fantastic, but the HVAC system has been dangerously terrible for years. Humid and slippery in the studios- someone will fall or pass out soon then maybe it will finally get fixed.

This has to be one of the smelliest, overcrowded, most god awful gyms I’ve ever been in. BSC has always been pretty bad but after moving to this location I will be pursuing other gyms. I feel like I caught a disease just working out there

Got charged $100 for a cancellation of my membership and then $50 because it takes 45 days to cancel the memebership. What the hell is this? Draconian gym membership rules at its best. Never coming back and will tell others not to join.

Needs a 2nd last pull down machine and less cardio machines ASAP. I switched from the Allston to Davis gym after moving. I was initially excited by the modern decor. But disappointed by the fact I'm paying a higher monthly rate for less machines, older machines, and shorter hours. This is the only gym I've ever been to that only has 1 lat pulldown machine...I would love it if y'all could please add 1 more as well as a upright nautilus straight ahead bench press , curved curling barbell weights. More machines will allow members to finish their workouts quicker to accommodate the shorter hours. Thanks!

Great location, but extremely busy, even at hours you wouldn't expect. Also, this is the only BSC I've seen without a power rack, which is lame. Not a great use of space. Would be nice if they catered better to the free weights crowd. Good luck trying to get one of the 2 squat racks; this gym needs more than that.*UPDATE* They'v since added a second squat rack. Life is good. Now add a 3rd :)UPDATEX2 - Okay, plenty of racks now which is sweet, so I've added a star from 3 to 4. But damn, it still is usually packed in a pretty small space, so take that into account and avoid peak hours.

They utilize the small space well and it’s a convenient location, but those are about the only positives for this location. About 30-40% of the cardio machines are broken and have been for months and months. It’s not right to charge full price and then force your members to wait long periods for machines to open up, when half the machines are sitting there broken and empty.

Stay away from this gym. I cancelled back in January and BSC keeps calling me saying my account is overdue. They will do whatever it takes to steal your money and do nothing to help you out. If you want the hassle and loss of money by joining here, go for it. However, better gyms, with better management, with better equipment, more space, and better memberships exist!! STAY AWAY FROM BSC!!!
