😐 I have been coming to Unique Fitness for about 7 years. I am active duty military and I only come to this gym when I am home visiting because it is local and reliable. There has been a significant price increase even before COVID struck for a day pass. The amenities available at this location are no... People often mention staff, front, music, people, Unique, time, classes, water, desk, love,

    Probably the most disgusting gym you can find in Suffolk. Overly crowded - even if you try to avoid the crowd and go at not busy times you’ll get to feel the odors and sweat of people who were there right before you because they don’t circulate the air inside. Sauna is always packed with 10-12 men looking outside to not make it weird. Only positive is the shake bar and the hours. Machines are good also but everything is stinking musty. Worse than planet fitnesses in NYC. I hope they figure out how to open windows soon

    I have been coming to Unique Fitness for about 7 years. I am active duty military and I only come to this gym when I am home visiting because it is local and reliable. There has been a significant price increase even before COVID struck for a day pass. The amenities available at this location are not worth paying $20 a day for a facility that does not even have water fountains. I have left a review about a year ago stating how the patrons do not re-rack their weights nor do they sanitize their equipment after use. The front desk attendants are also inattentive. As an everyday gym-goer it is expensive to attend Unique Fitness everyday without a membership, considering I am only attending the gym when I am home in New York which is usually for about a week at a time. I love going to this gym but the pricing for the day pass at least for military and first responders should be discounted especially during these times when first responders/military/law enforcement officials have tumultuous schedules.

    I was told I owe $640 to the gym after a long time away and the reason they gave was that I set up auto pay. I know that I definitely cancelled my membership before I left, I wouldn't just stop going without cancelling. On top of that it's a bogus excuse anyway because when you setup auto pay with any other company and you miss a payment they take away your service, they don't keep adding to your bill for later. I literally didn't go to the gym one single day during the time they were charging me.

    Whoever plays the punk / rock / metal songs should get fired whole gym just listened to some asian scream metal track. How hard can it be to have good gym playlist free us for real. The young bro with nice looking haircut always plays bomb music make him do few playlists.

    Crowded. Unclean. Limited/ small selection of classes. Classrooms are closed so you can't use that space without the subpar instructors they hire. Have fun doing Yoga and stretching on top of everyone. No water fountains. No cleaning fluid. They say they can't offer all of their amenities due to covid- even though they don't use covid guidelines. The whole second floor shakes if even one person is on the treadmill. Horrible parking lot. A man followed me out of the gym and to my car and the staff said they can't do anything about it. Overpriced for outdated machines, poor service, no access to full amenities. Credit car fraud on my friend's account months after closed membership. Manager avoids customers and has front desk people do the talking for them. Front desk is inattentive and have no real purpose there. Smoothie bar is never open because of "issues" and machines are missing parts- yet there is a service fee everyone pays to prevent these things. Worst gym I've ever been a member of but also the most expensive. LA Fitness, Planet Fitness, Golds.. you name it. They're ALL better. Its sad cuz this gym could be so much better if they offered the bare minimum and actually included the things you're already paying for.

    OH HELLLL NAH. These negative reviews are crazy spam. THIS GYM IS THE BEST GYM IN SUFFOLK COUNTY. The gym is always being cleaned by staff. Never crowded when I go (5am-10am). The steam room is perfect. You need to play out a schedule since this gym is big and everyone knows gyms get PACKED when everyone gets out of work after 5PM. Planet fitness has homeless people going in for showers. Sportstime in Quogue is outdated and for old people. Southampton gym is far and not functional. Eastport gym is old and outdated. These gyms for the same price gets you personal training sessions at unique. 10/10 love it here and love the boot camp training classes with Caesar!

    I would NOT join this gym… too many bad reviews and the way management responds to the reviews is ridiculous. Those “there seems to be some confusion” excuses are hilarious. Just handle it later. Don’t discuss the client’s account and make excuses.

    This is a niche gym; not for everyone. My second day here. This morning the biggest monster in the gym (very very enhanced) threw a little guy across 2 treadmills next to me who got in his way. This all happened directly in front of the front desk. Nobody said a thing (certainly not me lol). And what CAN you say. Who’s gonna try and “throw” one of these giant angry guys out for minimum wage. There’s a lot of normal gyms around. Give yourself a gut check if you have the testosterone for this environment before making a long-term commitment. I’m from Mastic so I’ll survive. Head down and stay out of peoples way. It’s a fine gym outside of that. I mean, there’s no water fountain, but there’s 175 flatscreen TV’s and they will sell you water, or you can get it from the bathroom sink lol.

    This gym is plagued with "influencers" taking photos both on the gym floor and IN THE BATHROOM. Even worse, these influencers informed me that this gym gives them PERMISSION to take photos in the bathroom. Imagine walking into the showers to find a woman with her phone on a tripod shooting images of her booty IN THE SHOWER as if the bathroom belongs to her Imagine needing to pee , but to get to the stall, you have to walk in front of a phone on a tripod in the middle of the bathroom where she is shooting videos of her posing.... right in front of the changing area and the toilets !!! The gym seems to encourage these bathroom photo shoots because they consistently post photos on their social media pages that their members took inside the gym bathrooms. By all means though, if you enjoy being photographed with or without your clothes on thanks to an Influencer needing to post her boody gains ... join this place.

    Love this gym. I'm only in Shirley very occasionally but every time I am in town, this gym is my go-to. Good vibes, good music choice, primary lifting area is surrounded by like-minded people who actually care about their physiques so minimal amount of people screwing around. Good selection of equipments, only complaint is that the Hammer Strength Pullover isn't very good as it forced you to start at too extreme of a stretch without a pedal to get the movement going. A standing Lateral Raise would also be a fantastic addition to the gym.

    I was a frequent user if this facility and after the Covid shutdown, I returned only to find that they DO NOT ENFORCE MASKS! I'm paying $40 per month and can never finish my workout bc half the people are not wearing A MASK! When I report it they are slow to respond. I even saw a staff member talking with a customer who had NO MASK ON! I don't expect them to monitor every single person bc that's impossible. But when 20-30 ppl have their mask on their chin instead of their mouths, that's a safety problem for those of us who care about our lives. I love this gym so I will try to go at times when it's least crowded so I can have more space and a peace of mind. FOLLOW-UP The mgr saw this review and called me to rectify my concerns. I appreciated that. I explained that I had to sound an alarm with a bad review in order to bring awareness to recurring problem. She stated that there has been a issue with her staff not reporting customer concerns but that she will take the appropriate measures to ensure safety standards within the facility and rectify staff reporting issues. She put me at ease by actively listening to me. Great leadership skills!

    Currently work out at LA but figured I might switch back to unique for convenience since I work from home now and live closer to unique. I filled out information for free day pass just to see if I enjoyed working out here still. Was told I cannot use a free day pass because I was a member in 2016. It’s literally 1 day. Was told pay $20 or sign up right now. I told the kid I’ll just go to LA where I’m currently a member and he had no problem with me walking out. It was literally 1 free day which most likely would have become a full time membership if I enjoyed my session. Just felt like the kid didn’t give a damn if I became a member again or not.

    A clean, family friendly gym (they have day care!). It gets busy at the usual after-work hours, but it is well worth it. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and the fellow gym users are also welcoming. I have been to some gyms where it can be very intimidating, but I did not feel that at all here. Definitely try the classes as well!

    Even after canceling my membership and numerous back and forth emails. This gym keeps trying to fraudulently charge my credit card. Definitely unethical behavior which I’ll be reporting to the appropriate authorities.

    Thanks to Melissa for giving me a great customer experience. We have now signed my nephew up to join the gym! Melissa did a terrific job and took a rough situation and turned it into a great great experience! Thank you, Melissa.

    Hey folks. Been attending the gym for several years now and for the most part it's been pretty well organized and clean, and the staff seems knowledgable and friendly. The one thing that's increasingly irritating at the location is the volume of the music played there. I frequently wear earbuds at the gym to listen to podcasts or my own playlists but the second I walk in the door all I can hear is the gym music blaring loudly throughout the space. I've actually observed the desk staff needing to hold their ears while speaking on the phone because it's so loud in there sometimes. I've even tried using cans while working out and while they work a little bit better than earbuds, my head sweats while I exercise and the headphone pads end up getting pretty saturated and gross. I don't even have an issue with the kinds of music being played, though it would be nice if there was a little more variety than the typical Drake and Kanye playlists. The main issue is that the volume is distractingly loud, and it does take away from my experience while working out in the location. I absolutely realize that some ambience and music is great in a workout space, but when I walk in the door, the volume frequently feels more like a spot in Patchogue on Saturday night than a gym. Aside from that, I usually enjoy my experience at Unique. But often the music is just too much.

    Unique Fitness has all you need for thorough workout. Free weights. Universal gyms. Yoga. Stretching. Punching bags. Treadmills galore. MMA stuff. And if you check with health insurance carrier the monthly may be covered. 💪👍

  • 1/5 johnny l. 1 year ago on Google
    One star because they over charge and have old outdated machines. No arm bike (every physical therapist and other gym I have been to has an arm bike) they play music like Justin Bieber while you're trying to workout. They have no water fountains because they want you to buy their water. They don't clean the facility well. Unless you need the sauna I recommend planet fitness lol

  • 5/5 Estefania S. 1 year ago on Google
    If you love spin classes Jennica is your girl. Monday at 6:00pm. Playlist is always 🔥 Michelle on Wednesday 6:00pm and if you like Zumba Maritza class is at 6:30 on Wednesday. Kim class on Saturday is awesome too. I appreciate management changing the time of the spin class. 10 starts to the cleaning crew in special to Geovanna ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ MANAGEMENT: I would love to see more clases on the afternoon there really nothing on Tuesday, Thursday’s and Friday’s.

    One of the best gyms by far but biggest issue even with remodel is how downstairs dumbbells go up to around 140 with two adjustable benches and only go up to 50 upstairs with 7 benches. At least add 2-3 more benches downstairs or make the dumbbells go up to 80 upstairs. Also they should add back the easy curl bars back upstairs. 10/10 on cleanness most of the time

    I visit the gym for the spin classes. Instructors have always been very good and they make you work harder than you thought you could. I really enjoyed my spin class with Roy. He was excellent; please bring him back in the fall.
