Gym

😐 I have been going to this gym for quite a while. I am actually removing a star or two- not that it matters. The biggest issue I have with this gym for the last 5 months is how lax their staff has become with certain patrons of the gym. I swear, Harbor Fitness needs to give me a discount or pay me in... People often mention staff, machines, workout, friendly, great, equipment, clean, good, room, front,

    I have been going to this gym for quite a while. I am actually removing a star or two- not that it matters. The biggest issue I have with this gym for the last 5 months is how lax their staff has become with certain patrons of the gym. I swear, Harbor Fitness needs to give me a discount or pay me instead for thr time I spend reracking and removing weights just to get a work out in or even walk. Believe me you...I am not embellishing. You cannot control people but when you have a sign that clearly states these rules but no one to enforce them...who are we kidding then? The machines are so close to each other which is understandable but creates a safety hazard; add to it a few knuckleheads leaving plates laying on the floor next to the machines. Yes, I pick them up when I can. Then you have Skips-Every-Leg-Day Larry leaving the squat rack with over 200 pounds without reracking. To top that, the tiny stretching room and the little corner with the cardio theater...I also have to spend 5 minutes removing everything so that I can stretch before my workout. Why am I leaving this long and boring review? Because this is the second time I bust my toe from tripping over a weight.

    I used to love this gym. They have decent up-keeping and replace the machines fairly often. The other members were always helpful and friendly towards me as a beginner. However recently it has become too packed. It’s impossible to work out with that amount of people. At any given time from early morning to late at night, you can expect the gym to be absolutely packed to capacity. It’s unpleasant, irritating and uncomfortable. If a packed gym doesn’t bother you then this gym is a great choice.

    Despite being packed like grand central station pre pandemic during rush hour, the front desk staff is COURTEOUS & friendly; believe it or not that goes a long way! They have places for your coats, music is energizing and varied. And I’m a fan of the equipment and overall vibe

    After my workout I came downstairs from the locker room & the two employees working the night shift said goodnight made jokes and laughed . This is supposed to be a judgement free zone. This was very disrespectful . This is at the MARINE PARK LOCATION FEB 28. I will be reporting their exact words to corporate. They need to practice customer service and grow up.

    Most gym members do not mask here. They have wipes with spray bottle/paper towel setups, but because the only (?) trash can is located in the front of the gym, there is little incentive to wipe down because no one wants to wipe down and then walk all the way to the front to toss their wipes. Visually yes, it's clean. But after the 5-10 people use the machine, it is most definitely not clean when the gym does not incentivize patrons to clean their machines.

    It is a kid gym designed to entertain 16-17 year old isreali kids. The gym is always packed and the owners are total gavones. Mike and chris would marry a gaint wad of money if they could. That is all they care about in life.

    A short African American staff member with a short haircut look me in my face when i was waiting to be checked in and ignored me after i waited for a few minutes just for him to appear to the front desk. He then proceeded to talk to the person behind me that came after me and the person behind me being kind and having integrity told the staff i was here first. Bad customer service is one issue but the gym is normally packed if you like packed gyms then this gym is for you.

    pro: -24 hours Monday to Friday (really the only one in the area that is 24 hours - I take mass transit from Brighton beach to come here after midnight, the gym is that important to me). -excellent selection of so many grip types, weights, machines, just wow, really great selection. -paper towels and cleaning stuff (hand alcohol sanitizer) and such are always stocked. this isn't planet fitness 15 blocks away where supplies are empty. -clean locker room, with 2 good showers -if equipment is broken, it gets fixed very quickly -good variety of shakes and protein bars in case you are hungry at the start of the workout or just want to grab something right after before heading to work or some other task instead of home. this does help. -excellent selection of REAL pre-workout powders (you buy it by the scoop as a singe serving). there must be about 10 or 12 different brands from what I remember. really great. con: -music is absurdly loud. also, if you listen to your own music, your earbuds must compete with the gym music's DB levels and you have to raise it that much. -some equipment shows wear and tear/aging BUT it does always work. I am just mentioning the aesthetic. -not too many cons. it's a good gym to get your real hard workout in, or just something relaxing at the cardio machines upstairs or in the green grass area downstairs.

    Im a member here for a real long time . Im talking since i would 95'/96' ... Major gym ... Everything is new and clean and people are friendly and there is never a problem with except during peak hours when an hour workout turns into a 2.5 hour workout. Best times to train there are early in the morning, midday and late at night into the am .

    Best Gym Ever. People and staff are very friendly. You got everything from soccer moms to body builders in this place. Equipment is great. This gym is very popular so it can get very crowded. And it could be hard to get a machine. But other than that it’s perfect.

    Pretty fantastic space. Nice and big and it's never crowded. The staff is attentive and very kind. The areas are clean and well maintained. The machines are in working order, and there are enough diverse machines that you can really switch up your workout.

    Overall good gym. Friendly staff and clean bathrooms. Machines are usually all working. There’s no classes, no pool and no sauna. But there is a movie room.

  • 5/5 Catherine B. 9 months ago on Google
    Update: I haven't been there in a year or more (probably more) due to health issues and to my surprise the guy at the front remembered my name! It's that kind of personal attention and friendly atmosphere that makes this gym one of the best places to work out in Brooklyn! Love this gym! People are friendly and equipment is kept in good repair.

  • 4/5 World E. 7 months ago on Google
    Packed + they're always closed on holidays... Do they think the gains stop just because it's Labor Day? Think again... Music is always way too loud & there is no culture of respect. People leave 45s on the bar, they sprinkle their dumbbells about, and they leave benches greasier than canola oil. If you sweat like a pig you should wipe after yourself... 🐷 some of the staff are really friendly though. All of them at least do their job properlyπŸ‘

  • 5/5 Michael F. 11 months ago on Google
    Love the gym, good staff, well maintained, and good bar for shakes and such. Somewhat on the cramped side though with small areas for stretching etc. Gets VERY crowded during peak hours.

  • 5/5 Mary C. 2 years ago on Google
    This place changed my life from the structured work outs to the amazing coaches and owners! They manage each individual despite your level of athleticism and results are real.

  • 4/5 Rachel B. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s a big small Brooklyn gym if that makes sense. Lots of cardio but they always play music at excessively high volumes. The only place to stretch is a tiny room or a small area in the movie room but you won’t be able to see anything lol.

    Great gym. James is an unbelievable trainer. Derek is great at the front desk. Highly recommend!

  • 3/5 Waqar K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pictures, 3 stars just for the pictures only so I can ask a question will update the rating once I have joined. What's the price monthly yearly or if there are promotions. I had seizure so I was paralyzed Ave now I'm recovering so I'm trying to join a gym to workout the muscles I've started to walk again as well have movement in my hand. So I think my muscles need the workout after being dead for over a year. Sitting still. Is there any parking? Elevator? Anyone can give a review of this gym? Please do so..Please include the membership pricing as well since I've not worked for 2 years and I'm on budget thank you

  • 1/5 Firdavs O. 1 year ago on Google
    They really have to fix their cardio machines, they only have 2 bikes but broken come on, price we pay has to be reasonable. What’s this management.

  • 5/5 Michel D. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place, all kind of machines possible to workout.

    Nice boutique gym but they need to repair some of the cardio machines....

    Get busy just like any other gym but good air temperature, kind staff, doesn’t smell.

  • 4/5 Alex 2 years ago on Google
    The gym is great and so are the employees but unfortunately the cardio equipment is very dated so hopefully they get updated.

  • 5/5 Shah A. 2 years ago on Google
    The Staff/Tracey was amazing and a professional in getting me all set up. The gym is clean, private and what separates it from other gyms is that it has punching bags and boxing equipment.

  • 4/5 Hanna S. 2 years ago on Google
    It been good, but not great. Hoping their responsiveness could improve as well as a few small issues I had. I'm expecting to change this review for 5 star in a future

    The trainers are knowledgeable and passionate, providing personalized guidance and pushing me to reach new heights. The positive energy and supportive community keep me motivated, even on tough days. The state-of-the-art equipment and diverse workout options make every visit exciting. I feel stronger, healthier, and happier since joining this gym. It's a total win! Great work!!

    For the price it’s ok. My complaints are the music is way to loud . They are lacking some machines and my # 1 complaint is no place to really stretch , they have a movie room up stairs that would be great for stretching instead they have a bunch of cardio equipment no one uses and this weird red lighting in there while movies play . But overall I do like the gym for the price

    Awful experience. The management and people working here are rude and disrespectful and like to gaslight customers. One time, they yelled at me for non payment when it turns out they were mixing me up with a different person. Another time, i had cancelled a membership but they continued to bill me and when I showed proof of payment for cancellation they told me it was applied for something else which i never even heard of. No apology just awful rude behavior on their part. Happy i was able to keep my cool. They definitely looked crazy.
