There has been no hot water for over three weeks, nobody can predict when it will be back, and there is no extra cleaning protocol during a pandemic.
Equipment is broken for months and the 50lb weights disappeared sometime in the spring.

I love this gym. I attend here for boxing and more
Come and visit. You will love it
Staff friendly. Always clean. Always greeted by Kyle just a great person. It's a gym with gym equipment but the staff makes it great.
Decent little place. It has to floors. Upstairs is all cardio equipment such as stairmills, treadmills, ellipticals, bikes and other stuff I didn't recognize. There's also a stretching area with dumbbells here. The main floor is where all the weights are, 2 squat stations, weight machines, squash court, spinning room, etc. It's a bit tight downstairs because it's fit to the gills with equipment but I always find space for lifting. There also is another stretching area here and more cardio equipment. This place is very well equipped . I have no complaints. Except the squat rig is a little awkward because if two ppl are squatting simultaneously then one person will be directly behind the other squatter and will not have a mirror to check form. But if it's only one person then it's perfect.
That's all folks.
Do not, DO NOT JOIN THIS CLUB. They are deceitful and pathetic with their customer service. Will not assure you of fees, randomly add on things and keep charging you post cancellation. The managers change very often and you may never talk to the same person, or ever get to talk to the manager. Never in office and no replies on emails. Worst gym membership.
Very unapproachable and unhelpful, and the facility is meh.
Do not sign up
Let me start out by saying this is the second to last dirtiest NYSC in the entire city of New York. I have been to all NYSC in New York City!
The layout of this place is ridiculous, locker rooms upstairs and downstairs etc. The filth in these locker rooms are insane, I don't know how the city keeps these gyms open with such a high level of dirt and grime. I have been here twice, first time to try it out and second time because I had a limited time schedule that day. The second time I went it looked like part of the ceiling collapsed in the locker room and all the dirt and dust from the ceiling tiles accumulated inside about 5 lockers and all over the floor. I was in shock, I couldn't believe they will allow this place to function with these problems. After my workout I came back for my clothes only to find out my clothes were contaminated with debris and dust from the ceiling since it kept caving in. The toilets are full of poop and dirty toilet paper, showers are always gross and sauna forget about going there, by the time it sinks in you wouldn't want to walk to the sauna. The cardio equipment is basically broken treadmills and elliptical that turn off. The alright area out of the whole gym was probably the leg area section which is bizarrely separated into its own annex.

horrible! I joined under a promotion of $ 10 a month.. which then changed , and they charged me random amounts. $ 15 then $ 60 then $ 23... and when I called SEVERAL TIMES OVER SEVERAL WEEKS- no one ever got back to me! Had to go through my credit card company to charge them back and to end my membership... These people do not respond to anything.. I bet now I will get a response over several months! NO NEED AT THIS POINT! STAY AWAY! IF YOU JOIN USE A CREDIT CARD SO THAT YOU PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THEIR FOOLISHNESS!

This place will fraudulently keep charging you $100s even after you cancel. You'll never be able to get rid of them. Don't make the mistake I did.
The worst location of NYSPORTS club, no speedbag, not hot enough at the sauna room, complete dissatisfaction.
This place got really bad almost literally over night. They took out all the really great high angle treadmills that go up to 30 degrees and replaced them with really B grade sub par tread mills. Then to add insult to injury, the HVAC in the cardio room upstairs wasn't working, so it was like 90 plus degrees and reeked of human sweat. Additionally the water fountain upstairs, also hasn't been working for at least a week and recently the entire gym has been out of the chlorox wipes so all machines are permanently gross. Of course there's no avenue to complain bring up issues and if you bother to call corporate they tell you it's a local franchise and you have to deal with the local manager - they only handle account and finance issues. I've had similar situations at other NYSC too. Maybe that's why there's a class action lawsuit against them currently. What's the point of paying $60 or more a month for Blink or Planet fitness level quality?
The worst managed place. No AC in female locker for many months, no hot water. Nasty and dirty club.Most equipment is out of order.
Has all the equipment you'd need. I come here to workout about 4-5 times a week. The main issue with this place is that it's extremely busy everyday in the afternoon/late-afternoon. I ended up getting an additional membership with the blink across the street so I can workout there on days when this place is too packed/busy. The employees are cool people.

It's convenient and has what I need, but the bikes in spin class are forever breaking down and not being fixed and they need to clean the floors in the studio. Way too many dust bunnies on a regular basis
Fantastic gym and fantastic staff. Great barbell/free-weight setup if that's your thing. Lots of cardio machines.
Not the cleanest of the gyms, the staff can be a little rude, depending on the day and time you are there. The manager is a strikler for rules, so don't expect any courtesy or accommodation for any requests you might have . The equipment is enough and this place is not overly crowded. The best thing about this gym are the two squash courts, but beware there is a $15 booking fee for 45 minutes.
Gym was very well equipped and the layout was pretty good with a respectable amount of room to move around. The staff seemed friendly and the condition of the equipment was pretty good, about what I expected from a non-premium gym. My one big complaint was the men's locker/changing room... It was disgusting. Large percentage of lockers were broken, the floor was wet and filthy from people walking through it with their shoes. One shower drain was clogged, another had rubbish, leaving one shower to use. The shower area was worse than a public restroom at a gas station. It looked as if the floor hadn't been washed in a week. Simply putting raised grid matts down to let the water drain while preventing people from walking through puddles would make a world of difference!
If you do powerlifting, Olympic lifting, or CrossFit, you'll find this gym to be adequate.
Pros:
- tons of equipment, including Olympic lifting platform with bumper plates, multi-rack + squat racks, trap bar, lots of bars for chin ups
- locker room with decent showers & soap, monthly rental lockers + daily lockers
- close to A/C and G/F subway trains makes it pretty accessible
- decent rates; $45/month membership, $10/month locker rental, $75(?) yearly fee. Could be a lot worse but not bad at all IMO for the decent facilities
- lots of free towels
Cons:
- something is always broken & maintenance seems slow; showers have been draining slowly for ages, sink was broken for ages now it's fixed and the dryer is broken, many barbells are bent, sauna broken
- people constantly doing dumb things like: groups of people hogging the bench presses to sit and chat, groups of people hogging the bench press to do bicep curls, groups of people hogging the dumbbell benches to do ab & leg work, hogging benches to sit and read magazines. Never saw this at Ritchie's.
- fixing billing issues with the parent company over the phone is an absolute nightmare, they'll leave you on hold for 20min+ then transfer you a dozen times & give you a run around.
Overall it's definitely worth the price but not without some minor issues. Make sure you bring shower-shoes if you plan to shower, and expect headaches trying to cancel your membership with anyone besides the location's general manager in person.
I love this gym, however things started to gl down the past two months. Every shower has a problem of its own. The first one is clogged, and your feet would be immersed with a big puddle of water. Second one the shower spray is loose and doesn't work, and there is only one working one. Besides, body wash and shampoo bottles are both filled with body wash in all showers. There is no conditioner and body lotion for a long while now. We are not asking much.. But I can find a better and cheaper deal that is worth my money. I love this gym but if there is no progress, I'll have to switch elsewhere.
I cancelled my membership two years ago, however they continued to bill me. When I caught the discrepancy I went in person to resolve. The Manager at the time was helpful and understanding and explain the previous Manager hadn't processed my cancellation. One year later - I get a call from a collections agency about unpaid dues!! I again spoke to Managers, corporate, etc who essentially said "Tough Luck Buddy". So Im out $150 in dues I never owed because of errors on their part. Do yourself a favor - if you cancel, make sure you follow up and do your due diligence because they WILL take your money.
Sure, the gym is kind of run down, not sparkling and brand new like Blink next door, but they understand what's really important in a gym. There are hair dryers in the women's locker room, and a sauna! You get towels when you walk into the gym. And probably best of all, the staff is friendly and always pleasant. If you want somewhere to work out and don't need fancy bells and whistles, just a few of the necessary creature comforts, and you don't want to spend a lot of money, this is the place for you.
I used this gym last summer with no problem, and put my account on freeze for 9 months in thoughts that I'd be moving back to New York. When I found out that I would not be moving back to New York, I called and cancelled my membership in May. In June, I received and e-mail from Kyle the Manager saying that there was a problem with my billing. I e-mailed back saying that I had cancelled my account and called to make sure and received affirmation that I had cancelled my account. In October, I received an e-mail from Bruno another manager saying that they were going to send my bill to a 3rd party collection. When I forwarded the e-mail that I had sent Kyle and explained that I had already called, he said they could forgive my July and August, but that I still had to pay June. He then threatened that he would send the balance to a third party collections (even though I had called and cancelled in May). After this experience, I wouldn't recommend this gym to anyone since their management and front desk service is clearly incrediblly incompetent.
horrible!!! there are too many lazy people working at this place who dont care!!!
this place is in need of professional thorough cleaning services.
the stretch area needs to be cleaned at least daily!
the ladies room is filthy. and there is always something broken or missing: no hot water, no working hair dryers, no towels, no tissue, no AC :(
equipment is out of order for at least 2 months
some parts of the equipment are missing - you cant do certain exercise :(
Compared the to nearby NYSC at Remsen St I find this location to be infinitely better. While the mens locker room is small and weirdly later out its definitely cleaner than the latter Brooklyn NYSC. Overall this location is very spacious with a good amount of everything. Only con I can think of is that there is no boxing studio available like there is at Remsen St.
Ended my membership in April 2016! My bank acct was still being charged for membership in June! Went back to gym in June to cancel again and was charged $29 cancellation fee after being overcharged for 2 months! Really bad experience. small overcrowded locker rooms and equipment is too close together for comfortable workout. Try one of the newer bigger and more comfortable gyms within a block away, you will really enjoy your workouts!
The staff is neither helpful nor kind to their patrons. The ladies locker room is not usually clean and the Sauna's ceiling has cob webs. I've complained many times of this yet, still the same disgusting upkeep. The toilet and shower is always filthy, even when its not during peak hours. I have gotten things stolen out of my locker (totally my responsibility to ensure this doesn't' happen) but how sad is it that you cant even trust grown women to not steal, I think its the staff. The manager seems overwhelmed, perhaps he needs an assistant to manage the cleanliness, staff attitudes and overall brand of gym. I am disappointed and am canceling my membership after 5 months. I do not recommend.
