I've been an on and off member of the McBurney Y for several years now. I always return to the Y after trying other gyms because McBurney is just a nice place to go. Other gyms have a feel that's too commercial for me, one that's full of bros and juiceheads that I don't need. There's a community atmosphere at McBurney that I really enjoy.
Let's not forget the facilities or equipment. I enjoy the cardio machines, the weight room, weekly spin classes, and the sauna and steam room. I think they have excellent equipment.
Unlike some other reviews here, I've never had bad interactions with the staff. I've found them to be helpful and polite. Given that this is NYC, I have seen a lot of patrons/members who are rude and deal with the staff from a position of self-righteous entitlement. For people who have bad interactions, I'd suggest looking at your own behavior before blaming others. You give and get courtesy, kindness, and respect. It's a 2-way street.
McBurney is a favorite place for an after work and weekend workout. Top notch.
