Best Gyms with Cardio Machines near Norwood, New-york

Honestly I love this gym, it truly is a hidden gem in the Bronx. Yes sometimes it can get a little crowded but from my personal experience, it’s truly not that bad. I’ve seen much worse. The front desk staff are super professional and just kind and patient. They always help in the best way they can whenever they are needed. But other than that, the gym itself is great, there’s a lot of good machines, as well as barbells, dumbbells, punching bags, weighted balls, kettle bells, a monkey gym, pull up bars, and even a turf and Zumba area. The locals are also very nice, respectful, and kind in my experience as well as hygienic lol. And all of this are the things I appreciate so much about this gym. Hopefully it stays this way for the years to come. You’re doing great guys!

I started at this gym at the beginning of this month. It had be tolerable until last Sunday. Before I get into that incident, let me tell you about the ones prior to it. When I was washing my hands in the women’s locker room, I turned around to see a girl behind me taking pictures of my back. While using various machines, I’ve had guys watching me, pulling their phones out and making fun of me. I took those incidents on the chin because I’m a big girl, this gym is new and people are just mean sometimes. But last Sunday was the last straw. My trainer, Charlos had me lifting heavy weights. It seemed like he was just adding weight for the hell if it. He asked if I wanted him to record me lifiting since it was a heavy amount. He had never asked me this before and he’s been my trainer since I started. I said yes because I was excited to show my mom how much I’ve been doing at the gym. As I’m lifting, a man whose picture I’ll add to this review walks behind me to watch me. I lift and drop the weight and he stares at my trainer. I didn’t immediately notice until my mom pointed the guy out to me and said he looks sketchy like my trainer and him were trying to make fun of me. I watched the video again and saw what my mom saw. It really hurt my feelings because I was starting to trust my trainer but after that I began to question everything he said to me and all of the “exercises” he made me do. I truly believe that he does not want to help me and he’s wasting my time and just taking my money. I think he and his gym bros are making fun of me behind my back. I’ve already spent over $500 on personal training lessons trying to make this year my best year. Now I’m at a crossroads about it. When I told Charlos about it and showed him the guy in the video, he said he’d handle it. Yesterday I had a session at 8p. He calls me 10mins before, a call I missed because I was already on my way to the gym. I get there and he’s not there. Instead he’s texting me about an incident that happen which I don’t believe is true. He said a woman fainting in the women’s locker room and he had to fill out an incident in order to comply with HIPAA law which is a lie. HIPAA has nothing to do with file an incident report at your workplace but I let him rock. It just shows me more about his character and how he feels about what happened to me. He told me that the guy was admiring how much weight I could lift. YEAH RIGHT…then why walk behind me into the frame of my video and make a face seemingly of judgement smh. Charlos did not work with me yesterday instead he gave me a list of workouts to do on my own and sent me on my way. He later canceled my session. I completed the tasks he assignment amongst a couple of men staring at men, people hogging machines and another guy harassing me about when I was going to be finished on a machine. I saw other trainers working with people and thought why am I being singled out? Why cant I be trained? My money is green like theirs! Is it because of my weight? My race? Do I not fit the type of person that they want to train at this gym? It’s truly disheartening and I’m not sure what to do so I’m writing this review to warn others. Thicken your skin and have your guard up…it’s brutal at this gym.
