New York Sports Clubs

I don't know what is happening with this gym. It is going downhill. I pay $80 a month to hold a NYSC membership and every month that goes by I question my decision to stay a member. It is just filthy. I understand that people's expectations can be really high but this gym is not even at the regular standard. Take a look at the photos I took one morning at the gym. I also took a video of it. I still cant believe it.

This place is pretty good and I the staff is very friendly. I do feel that this gym has A LOT of members and the after work crowd is getting bigger and bigger. My favorite part about this gym is Saturday morning 9:45AM Spin with Annette - she is a great spin instructor and I leave completely worn-out. I've been going for months and she is amazing! *Pros* - Always a towel available - Staff is friendly - Overall it's pretty organized and the members are polite *Cons* - Really awkward layout which then causes the machines to be cramped in - A lot of members

Year after year, the downward spiral continues. Absolutely substandard--even ramshackle-- locker rooms with many broken lockers, littered rugs, and an unusable shower. When equipment is faulty or broken, they remain so in perpetuity. It's near to where I live, and in the summer I go there sometimes because I can wear gym shorts and avoid the locker rooms. I never, ever shower there. It's and exercise in masochism to do so. Nevertheless, that said: The employees are unfailingly friendly, helpful, and intelligent! It is now 10 months--apparently--since I wrote this review. I am going there now to see if the locker room and showers have improved. I've continued to go with adapted street-clothes on but have left directly afterward. But I will take a look at the locker area and if the showers seem to have improved, I will try to edit my initial review. It is good PR to respond in writing to negative reviews, but much, much better to respond in corrective action!

This was a very convenient location for me -- close to work and close to many transit options. I also enjoyed using the cardio area. I was quite dissatisfied with the locker room, however, which I found to be dirty and in poor repair. I decided to cancel within the 10-day risk-free trial period. An employee at the front desk quickly canceled my membership, but the club retained no record of my cancellation and continued to charge me. If what you're going for is convenience, this club has it. If you want a clean facility with halfway decent customer service, look elsewhere!

Pros: Much less busy if you know when to go, generally between 10 and noon. Staff is pretty friendly, the place typically kept up well. Cons: Not directed at the gym/staff but holy cow the members are comprised of awful people. Pick up after yourself towels, wipes, water bottles etc., put things back where you found them and for the love of all things sacred please quit taking your clothes off and taking selfies IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GYM. Another thing, have a little self awareness and quit taking phone calls that last for longer than it takes to say "At the gym, call you back". Rant over.

I've been a member for most of the time since it opened about 10 years ago. It is adequate, however there is much room for improvement. Many of the thread mills either don't have functioning TV and audio. Some treadmills also out of order. Have complain many times with no response other than empty promises. Men's locker room badly needs a change of carpeting. The place also could use more cleaning. I go because it's convenient. Employees are friendly. If you have other choices consider them.

This gym isn't the worst but neither it is great. Locker room again is what fails completely, NYSC needs to learn that if they make locker rooms with a modern steel and iron these locker rooms will not smell and less bacteria will accumulate. Revamping the tiles and floors and eliminating the carpet will bring it up to date and remove that 1990's vibe. I don't care about AC, people who barely workout and just do cardio are always the first to complain about AC, gyms aren't meant for you to be comfortable, the whole point of working out is testing your body, basically bringing it to uncomfortable levels. If there were no Air ventilation that will be a completely different story! For some reason I like the weight area in this gym , it has a very retro look but everything that you need is there. The turf is a waste of space. They do need better pull up racks and a dip section. The staff in the offices are always staring at you while you come up and down the stairs which is very uncomfortable but besides that this gym is great if you are on the go.

I also am a little baffled by the bad reviews. I actually think that this is one of the most functional and friendly gyms I have been to in New York City. They always have tons of clean towels and the gym is clean and organized. I mean, sure, you have to walk up and down a few flights of stairs to get from the weight room to the cardio floor -- but what are you going to gym for, anyway? To not be bothered with stairs? I really haven't had a bad experience there yet. If you're interested, talk to the GM and get a tour of the facility. He's very funny and down-to-earth and knows a lot of the regulars. I have found it to be an unusually friendly place, especially for a NYC gym scene. Just saying.

I had a horrible experience this past Friday 11/10/17 at 9pm. I have been a member for a year and last Friday they locked me in the building without notice. my two friends and I were in the ladies bathroom when suddenly the lights went off! Surprise they locked us in the building. I couldn’t sleep the entire weekend thinking about this terrify experiences. we have to call the caps. This Wednesday I come to the gym to talk to the manager about the terrible experience and he didn’t apologized to me and told me that things like that happened and I told him to pls cancel my membership and he happily canceled and than started to arguing with me like that was nothing. He is a peace of crab!!! Yes I feel very disappointed!! Not feeling at all! He showed that he didn’t even care to what happened to us. Really this is the type of customer services as a manger that you provide to your customers? Not feeling at all! I have file a report about this! Don’t Lough about people feeling! Be a human been not a animal!

This New York Sports Club has An inside tennis court half the size of Dallas. Usable 365 days a year. It has two racquet courts. Two whole floors of men's changing rooms with lots of privacy. An excellent waitstaff. Plenty of bikes. And it's never never ever crowded. I recommend it very highly.
