Best Gym near Bay-shore, New-york

As of today, July 18, 8 machines were out of order. The hot tub has been closed, lockers are missing doors, machine chairs are taped together when falling apart, the mini locks to hold your keys haven’t been in operation for over 2 months. The staff are so kind, but the place is an absolute dump & never taken care of.

The place was deserted when I walked in, and I thought, "Wow, this is great!" Within 10 minutes I realized why. I came just to use the sauna, and was surprised to discover that this particular location has a co-ed one. It was huge, but barely tepid. What a disappointment. And I had to walk through the pool area to get there, which I usually avoid, because of extremely poor air quality, which seemed worse than usual here. (Who wants to inhale chlorine gas?) An inordinate number of lockers were missing doors, which I suppose didn't matter, since enrollment is undoubtedly very low here. Overall, stopping into the Bay Shore LA Fitness was a huge waste of my time! I'll continue to be a member, but don't think I'll ever visit this location again.

Jose was extremely helpful. Immaculate and clean facility. Approachable and friendly staff. Would absolutely recommend. My mother recently joined and has felt very welcomed into the facility and loves to workout here.

I don't understand why they can't keep up with fixing the machines. Some of them are rusty and I've pinched my fingers a couple of times due to missing parts. I may have to find another gym. Edit: The Mgr Jose called me on account of my review. He was very friendly & professional. He explained some parts are on order. I appreciate that he listened to my concerns. I've changed my rating from 2 stars to 3, for the Mgr call, and will cont. to increase as positive changes occur. I believe LA Fitness needs to invest some funds into this gym to attract and keep their clientele, period full stop.

Chloe was absolutely amazing. She did everything she could to make sure I had a great experience and I would absolutely recommend anyone coming here to speak to her to sign up. 5 out of 5 stars and I truly don’t think that will change

I just gotta share how awesome our experience was working with the Great South Bay YMCA! Magical Memories Entertainment recently brought our Bubbletastic bubble show to their camp, and let me tell ya, it was a blast! Staff were super friendly, and you could tell they were all about making sure the kids had fun. They really went the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly, which made our job a whole lot easier. So, big shoutout to Great South Bay YMCA and a huge thanks from Magical Memories Entertainment!

People are very friendly and helpful. Place is kept very clean and well maintained

Really enjoyed lack of humans there. Locker rooms are really well designed. Other ymca need to learn from this place.(east hampton ymca has midget size lockers that dont lock). Nice equipment, no people, warm water in pool. Yea! 84f vs freezing water in east hampton and patchogue ymca. Cant beat that! State of the art prison style showers(will add picture) make you feel alert and give you sence of adventure. Soap on a roap comes to mind. And best part was i pulled my back while lifting cause looked away, at girl running, lost balance and now i get week off of work! This place is a blast. Definately coming back!

Mostly I just swim now, but I have also held my son's birthday parties at the Y and he did all his swimming lessons there when he was younger. I like the friendly atmosphere, the people I meet, the friendly staff, the location, and the connection with the local community. I see the Y as a positive force for a lot of people and am glad to be a part of that!

GSB YMCA offers a wide variety of programs and services all day into the evening, including weekends! As a relatively new member, I appreciate the opportunities available for children, adults and seniors. The facilities are clean and staff have been very friendly and helpful with all of my questions. The YMCA is an experience, not just a gym. Aquatic center is amazing, with classes for children adults and seniors. Gym has everything you need to work out. I especially like the programs offered for Cancer survivors and Arthritis program. My family have been scheduling our week around programs offered at the YMCA. Lastly, it took a very short time to realize why members seem to look and feel so happy! My immediate impression remains, “ People at the Y are having fun, at all ages and stage of life”.

Retro fitness has always been a great gym. Now it might be the best in the area. Retro recently renovated and added tons of new equipment. The increased space is my favorite upgrade. Here are some pictures that won't do justice. So check it out for yourself.

A great gym that covers all the basic needs for all your muscle groups. I also love the fact that the staff is great, friendly and that can get red light therapy and a massage chair as a perk.

The crew is friendly and helpful, the place is kept clean, it's only twenty dollars a month, and it's within walking distance. If it wasn't for that fact that the men's room is frequently overflowing and unfortunately it's the fault of the patrons, but still. Otherwise I would give it five stars because do enjoy my workouts here.

I do like this gym a lot but I wished it stayed open later. This gym is close to home and the other location in deer park. Deer park closes at 11 but I don’t want to have to travel all the way over there. Especially on Fridays when the gym closes at 9. If this gym ever changes its hours to 11 I’ll give this rating a 5!

This gym constantly does not open on time on weekends. Today I was there as usual at 7am and no one showed up to open. I left and returned a hour later and still closed. This happens a lot on Sundays and it’s a waste of my gas. I may leave this gym if it doesn’t improve

This studio is in a great location in Bayshore, it is a very clean & warming environment! If you want a good workout, that tones your body with controlled moves, then Pure Barre is the way to go! All the instructors are caring, encouraging and make you feel comfortable. Thank you to the Pure Barre team

I’ve only taken two classes so far (1st one was the free try-out class) and I’ve seen so much motivation for myself to come and workout. I’m very inconsistent with working out but this place makes you want to keep coming back after seeing so many other woman working out with you. That’s the best motivation one can get. I will say that I wish there were more classes in a month, for the price I paid for but can’t complain. :)

Having recently started working out again after recovering from health challenges, I especially needed a routine that would focus on strengthening my back and core. Pure Barre provides that and so much more. The format works my entire body and I feel myself getting stronger and stronger after every class. I especially enjoy getting in a Stretch & Restore when I can. To top it off, the instructors and staff are truly wonderful. Thanks for having a great studio environment and making me feel so welcome!

super confusing. i signed up in advance for a free class. then the girl at the front desk asked me to put a card on file…. then i told them i would be using class pass to register for classes.. that’s only IF i like the class. then they’re telling me something about if i’m a class pass member i can’t have a free class? like what if i never mentioned that i’m on class pass? i think i’m still entitled to my free trial class and i should see if i like the workout before i commit to anything??? total money grab from the minute i walked in and i just walked right out. and before you mention my name not being someone who signed up for classes here, it’s a fake name for google.

Simply the best!! Pure Barre is so much more than just a “gym”; it’s a community of amazing individuals that support each other through everything. I’m so proud and honored to be a part of the barre squad!

Joining this gym was one of my best decisions. The trainers are welcoming, encouraging, and incredibly supportive, always going above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. The atmosphere feels very relaxed, and everyone is kind and pleasant. Scheduling is convenient, and Jonathan is especially helpful and has always scheduled sessions around my busy schedule. I gave it five stars because it’s truly an amazing place

My 14 year old son has been going to Empowered training for the past year and loves it! His confidence and self esteem have improved and he has gained so much strength. When he started he was using 5 lb weights and was only able to do 10 sit-ups. A year later he is using 15 lb weights and is able to do over a hundred sit-ups. Thanks to the persistent, supportive trainers at Empowered Training, my son was able to pass his physical fitness test for his Taekwondo Black Belt! Highly recommend!

Great location. Clean equipment. Easy to schedule clases as they have both early morning and late afternoon offering. The trainers, Jonathan and Terrance are awesome. They help you modify your workout if you need to and provide clear explanations and demonstrations of the different exercises. Workouts vast so you are never board. Highly recommend!

I have trained there for many years. Never have I had a bad experience. It is the greatest alternative to the crazy cross training that I did for a short time. It’s safe and fun. All the trainers are great motivators!

I have been a personal training client with Jonathan and Chris for over a year now. I've had an amazing experience with both of them. They truly foster a family type of environment and encouraged and motivated me to achieve my fitness goals. They were really flexible with scheduling and were very amenable to reschedule sessions when I had changes to make. I highly recommend anyone interested in a personalized and family like training atmosphere to join the empowered family.

If I had to pick one word to describe this place it would be FAMILY! From the first time you walk in the door you are greeted with this moving force of positivity that you would never encounter at a regular gym! The Elite Training squad amiably known as the Guru, Dunderty, the Assassin and the Grim Reaper are going to push you not just physically but mentally. Everyone has those days when you want to stop or quit but with this team they will literally hold your legs up while you fight through it. Before you know what is happening you will seem to have transformed overnight! They genuinely want to guide and inspire you to reach heights you only dreamed about! Come down and meet your expended family! I'm so excited to meet you! I posted pics 1 month transformation, a slip back and then almost 6 months with this crew. Hope your inspired to come down. Much Love Naj

The best decision I made was to come to this gym and give it a try. I have never been more motivated to get into shape and live a healthier life. The best trainers i have ever had that knew how to really show me results and teach me about nutrition. I look forward to my intense workouts each week. If you want to see results then this is the gym for you. I am in the best shape of my life because of Stay fit culture.

Great gym, amazing trainers. These people really care about your goals and helping you achieve them. Flexible hours and overall a great atmosphere with instructors that will challenge you and help you get motivated

This place is awesome. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. With clients that always encourage and push you. Everyone there is invested in your growth. Khalil is an amazing talented trainer who is supremely invested in helping you get to your goals. We worked together for months and it was a great experience. Now I consider them family.

Couldn’t be better guys running the gym. Great environment, better people. Unreal customer service, couldn’t be having a better experience. Missing out on an opportunity to get FIT and meet better people if you’re not coming here!
