    Would honestly give this gym 0 stars if it were an option. By far the worst atmosphere for a gym I’ve ever seen. Members seem to be mainly the types that are viewed as inconsiderate and other gyms have one or two of them. Harbor Mill Basin seems to have attracted all of them from the other gyms. People hog multiple machines at a time for 30-45 minutes but will also have no problem removing your stuff when you go to get an extra weight plate. People leave their stuff all over and then stare at themselves in the mirror for hours. Weight plates are consistently left on machines and equipment not returned to its proper location. If you’re looking for a social gym or a gym with considerate people this is likely not the spot. The maintenance staff is actually friendly and kind. But the rest of the staff, such as the front desk and trainers are subpar, to put it kindly. The front desk never greets most members in a friendly way and will often just ask for your membership number bluntly when you arrive, if they greet you at all. They are often just talking amongst themselves and don’t even pay sight to you. Often, I have had to either nearly beg them to input my membership number or just walk by without signing in. The trainers are unprofessional as well. I have seen many times where trainers’ clients break rules such as leaving plates on equipment, weights unreturned to their spot, or not wiping down their sweat after use. The trainers seem to implicitly endorse their behavior. The gym is also nearly always packed. It really doesn’t matter when you go. Early morning, middays, early afternoon, evenings. 70% of the time there are no spots in the parking lot. Overall, this gym is an uneven experience that decreases your motivation to work out. It may be for some people, but not for most. Rampant with non-professionalism and intentional disregard for its members.

    This is a good gym. Nothing special. They keep the place pretty clean. Some broken stuff doesn't get fixed, but most stuff does. Plenty of cardio machines, never have to wait.

    Fantastic gym! Everyone there (managers, front desk personnel, trainers and fitness class instructors) is super friendly, professional, energetic and so loving. They make you feel like you are a part of their amazing family. It’s also super clean and classy. Zumba classes and instructors are beyond amazing! The juice/snack bar is great. Everything at this gym is perfect! I’m one of the luckiest people who was able to find this hidden gem and become its proud member. Thank you, Harbor Fitness, I love you. May you prosper and continue to stay fabulous!!!!!!! ❤️🙏🏼

    This is an overall well rounded gym. This staff is amazing and it's never overcrowded. People are genuinely getting their workout in! The locker rooms are kept very clean, there are always towels available, and their personal training is impeccable! Well, I can only speak for myself, of course, as I have been working with Dawn since the birth of my membership. She is amazing. She switches up my workouts so I am always challenged. Before Dawn, I gravitated towards weighted machines but I have learned how much conditioning I can gain through bodyweight exercises and free weights! Amazing! I have toned out beautifully, if I should say so myself :) Also, I personally love that there is parking available either on the street or in the lot that's available. Intimidation is not a factor here. People are friendly! I would highly recommend this gym to any level of fitness! Oh! And there is available child care for select hours, an apparel shop, supplement shop, juice bar and fitness classes available! Check em out!

    It's a great gym. Staff really friendly and always around. Machines clean. A lot of options. The protein shakes are great, the sauna is awesome, the other members are friendly no matter what your body type is and the hours rock. Highly recommend.

    By far, the best gym in Brooklyn. At every location, Harbor Fitness accommodates everyone professionally and respectfully. Never have I had an issue with anyone at any of their locations whether they're clients or employees. The equipment is bar none and there's always enough for everyone to get your workout in, which was my biggest peeve at other gyms I was once a member to. Three years running and I never looked back!

    Gym is fantastic! Great amenities, really cool staff, nice equipment and locker room. Local & convient as well. My issue is the price. While I make pretty decent money and its not big hit for me. This gyms monthly is 40% higher then most of the competition at 60$ a month. Would only recommend if you’re avid gym goer like myself otherwise definitely try a cheaper alternative.

    I have been a member here for over a decade. Every day I walk in, the front desk staff not only knows my name, but is always cheerful. Trish, Gabby, and Mike are so amazing. Even if they were having a bad day, I wouldn’t know it. It truly feels like family experience upon entry. They even know my sons name and ask about him daily. My experiences in this gym has only been positive and consistent. The maintenance crew is ALWAYS cleaning and I appreciate that. I love this gym so much, I have brought numerous friends to join and they feel the same. The weight lifting equipment is extensive and they do their best to maintain them well.

    Gym is kept clean and organized for the most part. The protein shakes are actually really good and its convent to have it right there. I wanted to specifically leave a review after my interaction with Trish R. She was so amazing and truly the best customer service interaction ive ever had. She made sure to explain everything when registering and answered any questions I had. Thank you Trish you're awesome!

    Harbor Fitness is my favorite gym in New York city . It has a lot of brand new equipment and it's very old school at the same time

  • 5/5 joanne M. 9 years ago on Google
    Overall, this is the best gym I have ever been a member of. I have 40 years experience with several different gym complexes. I cannot vouch for the others but @ Mill Basin the atmosphere is great if you want to socialize there is that...if you want to be left alone there is that as well. There are classes galore of course some of the instructors are more experienced & better than others. There are machines of every kind. Separate weight rooms and areas. A spin room, sauna. The lockers are pretty clean and taken care of 24/7. The staff is top notch again will help if you want it or leave you alone. My only complaint is some of the younger less experienced instructors blast the music to a level where it is NOT A CAUSE OF DEAFNESS but it becomes DISTORTED AND ANNOYING!!! LOUD IS GOOD BUT ANYTHING IN EXCESS IS NOT.....TONE IT DOWN

    Best gym ever. I left due to job relocation and came back cause now it’s closer to me. And hospitality is still the same with the staff and management

  • 4/5 Bryan F. 3 years ago on Google
    Really nice gym but I wish the weight section was bigger and more spaced out. The weight area gets so packed especially the free weight section forget about squatting or getting a chance to do bench presses
