Best Gym near Howard-beach, New-york

The workers don't supervise enough and too many nasty adults go here. They wipe the machines down and throw the paper on the floor when there are multiple garbage cans around to use. People sit on machines for longer than they need to. Too many broken machines, not enough weights and too many times no paper to wipe your hands. I go here with my husband for convenience of the location and nothing more

I had not been to this LA Fitness in a few yrs. What a surprise! It is so well-kept and well run, and so busy! Lots of light and space and some great people at the front desk. Kudos to Derrick who runs a tight ship!

This establishment is in dire need of closure. Employees are clearly unhappy, the sauna is infested with roaches, and the staff's behavior is disrespectful and negligent. No professionalism what so ever!!!! It's evident that the gym lacks proper maintenance and equipment. No paper towels in the bathroom, no ropes or clips for the cables. It's best to avoid this place entirely and save your money.

They need a real cleaning staff and maintenance crew to take care of this gym. Would love to know how the owner is ok with the current conditions. Probably won't be long before they go out of business as there are better gyms in the area. Sad because the gym is big and has potential.

This place is a total DUMP, the gym itself has great amenities but there is no management. It is so dirty and unkempt, lots of machines always out of service and there is never any paper towels so no one cleans the machines when they finish. The men's locker room is disgusting, also never has any paper. I have found even used socks and underwear abandoned in lockers. I have attached photos, all the treadmills you see empty are all out of service. And photos of every single paper towel dispenser empty, also photos of the bathroom condition. The I joined the gym for the pool and treadmills but the pool is so dirty that I stopped using It because it was irritating my skin and treadmills were always out of service. Canceled my membership.

This place used to be so nice but it’s seem management gave up on this location. Everything is broken . Only one toilet working. Hand dryer broken. Lockers broken. No soap to wash hands. Even some of the sinks to wash hands broken. Urinals . I can keep going on smh

I didn’t want to leave bad review, but it has happened twice. Most of the staff members specially they were all guys. They standing at the front desk talking to each other, and some of them showing TikTok videos to others. Meanwhile, sanitizer bottlers are empty, cleaning spray bottles are also empty. And upstairs paper towels are empty too. And one day when I went, I said good morning to the guy at the front desk, and he didn’t even greet me back. He is standing there listening to his music. Now that I don’t go there for greetings. But in customer service business you have to prioritize customer. I am not saying all the staff members are same. But some are not professional. No professionalism, no respect for the customers. Used to be 5 star now it’s 1 star.

The bathrooms are always dirty , why are there skid marks on the toilet ??? Absolutely disgusting. The lockers rooms are dirty too and half of the machines don’t work

Edit: spoke to the head of the desk. Hopefully he will get handled Edit2: they will not kick him out even though video shows him creeping and drinking alcohol. They claim they can’t ask him what’s in his bag, even though he smells like liquor. There’s a gentleman in this gym that comes in with an open can of beer in a brown paper bag and just stares at the ladies. He normally comes in and just stares. I feel unsafe a bit especially because he’s under the influence. But the reason for my 3 star is because he’s constantly permitted into the gym or nobody on the floor notices him walking around with an open thing of beer. Either way, he smells like it and stinks up certain areas where he stands there gawking.

My experience with upper management has been nothing short of frustrating. It feels like the company prioritizes profits over customer loyalty or satisfaction. I’ve had a billing issue where late fees have been charged since July, despite the fact that my payment method has always had sufficient funds. I’ve used the same credit card since 2022 without any prior problems, so why is this suddenly an issue in 2024? If a bank account is the typical requirement for membership, then why accept my credit card as payment in the first place? Now, I’m stuck paying for a membership I no longer want while waiting for a refund. It’s frustrating to deal with a company where it feels like no one has the authority to resolve issues. If loyalty doesn’t matter, then I’d rather be dismissed than ignored. It’s clear they’re more interested in money than in retaining customers. FYI – Both my husband and I will be canceling our Black Card memberships.

I really enjoy this gym. It is very much family style and you usually always see the same people whenever you go. The parking lot makes it even more convenient. The owners are very sweet people and they have an amazing staff as well!

This gym is top-notch—great atmosphere, friendly staff, and well-maintained, clean equipment. It's easily one of the best I've been to, surpassing most other gyms. There’s really nothing to complain about; it has everything you need for a solid workout experience. Highly recommend!

Signed up for a membership. First time going there today. I loved it. Clean, great machines, amazing vibe. And I’m a gym snob. So I’m excited about this gym. The sauna was amazing. The only complaint I have, is the three ladies, in the sauna cackling like old hens. I use the sauna to relax, meditate. My quiet time. But, these women were talking about absolute nonsense. If that’s the case, go to the gym floor, workout, have the conversations there. Don’t inconvenience others and ruin the ambiance. One other female rolled her eyes and left because she was annoyed. This was the first time me experiencing that in a sauna. So my suggestion is for management to put a sign up to say “keep conversations outside of the sauna” If it weren’t for that, I’d give five stars. Hopefully, when I go back; I won’t have to deal with that

If you’re considering joining this gym for the new year, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. Over the past year, this gym has consistently delivered subpar service. Under its new management, prices have increased significantly, but the quality of amenities and customer experience has declined. Many pieces of equipment are frequently out of order, and there’s little to no enforcement of gym etiquette—weights are rarely re-racked, leaving the space disorganized. Most frustratingly, the sauna is perpetually out of service, and despite repeated complaints, management has shown no willingness to address the issue. Given the high membership fees, the value simply isn’t there. You’re better off investing in a gym that prioritizes customer satisfaction and maintains its facilities. This gym is not worth the cost or the hassle.

My friend and I visited this gym as guests on two separate occasions, considering signing up for a membership. Unfortunately, both visits left us disappointed. Much of the equipment was out of service, and the SAUNA—a key feature we were interested in—was also out of service both times. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this gym to anyone.
