Best Gyms with Free Weights near Jamaica, New-york

Nice people that work here at this location. They're always doing their absolute best to help everyone they can to go above and beyond. There is a lot more equipment and machines here at this location than the Howard Beach location as well. Also, great tanning beds (bed 2 is my favorite), and all the spa rooms are always always clean. The bathroom/locker room is pretty spacious as well. It's generally always busy, so try to get there earlier in the day, like early morning - 1 pm. Thank you, planet fitness!

I’ve been coming here for a while now and like all the locations, it has its hits and misses. i value the workers here - they are all very nice and respectable and keep the place very clean. my only gripe is that they newly renovated the place and added new machines, which is great but they removed the 30 min express workout area, which was my sole focus of workouts. the machine equivalents aren’t good and put unnecessary wear and tear on the body. the 30 min express machines assisted with keeping good form. i don’t know if they plan to move it or remove it completely but i wish they didn’t. also the new treadmills aren’t good either. they have a slight incline even at 0.0 and they don’t have a cooldown function. the incline puts more stress on the heart and for people who weren’t planning to do that, it’s definitely a shock to the body. overall, it’s a great location. just wish they included public feedback with the renovations.

Great machinery, app tells you how crowded it is before going in, good staff, and great open space

1: Great staff friendly and never on their phones. However their should be signs up for people who stay on their phones holding up machines from people who really working out. 2. Majority of the treadmills don’t work and for the entire 2024 most the bikes didn’t work. That location has a decent crowd sometimes. They should work. 3. Please ,please ,please put a sign at the fountain letting members know that it is not ok to suck tongue the pipe when using the fountain. That is a health hazard and can cause contamination to others. I don’t understand how they don’t be seeing this. 4. It’s a bigger location please put more weights or make the weights section bigger. There’s 80% regular machines and 20 percent weights. It’s not enough to go around for everyone.

Came to this one for the first time at 0700 and already too many people for a Friday morning. Don't YOU PEOPLE WORK? I'm retired. One trainer just to ask a question seemed he had a grudge or chip onn his shoulder. And I had a discussion with a person working out where he took equipment while my back was turned. I rest for a minute just using dumbbells and when I explained to him that I was using he caught an attitude. I could have gone a different route with this guy but I walked away. I don't need these headaches on Day 1, early in the morning. Also, there's missing equipment but someone lent me there's for my workout so now I am buying a few things for myself and not worry about finding it at the gym. The gym is not bad but managers should speak to employees about their attitudes and remind the customers about proper gym etiquette. I don't care if you are from the hood keep it outside and if you are an employee smile and be helpful it's your job. Plus I wish this gym was 24 hrs.

Parking is a bit of a hassle and the women's locker room and bathroom area need some upgrades/renovations. Overall it's clean and has lots of machines.

**2024 UPDATE** THIS PLACE IS STILL TRASH. MACHINES BROKEN, NOT ENOUGH STAFFING. STILL NOT 24/7 SO YOU GOT LOTS OF CROWDING AND THE WORST POSSIBLE CUSTOMERS THERE. **2023 UPDATE** GYM IS NO LONGER 24/7, GOOD LUCK CANCELLING YOUR MEMBERSHIP CAUSE THEY'LL KEEP BILLING YOU. THAT'S COMMON STORY YOU'LL HEAR WHEN EVER YOU COME TO CHECK IN. Since the gym is no long 24/7 there's a massive overcrowding issue. The place feels more intimidating now because you got the hostile gym rats who hog machines for hours and even though you politely addressed with the other member they'll respond in threatening manner to point feels like you're better off calling the cops (Luckily 103rd is around the corner). You got the summer promo kids hogging the machines. The machines are all mostly fixed but they keep breaking because the gym rats and the high school kids want to make up other exercises on the machines. The management really doesn't care here, the staff don't care either because all the the paper dispenser would be empty and the disinfectant spray as well. If you can go to Blink on Springfield and Hillside, they have a better parking situation too and a better class of other members too. This place turned into a hole, after the they got rid of the 24/7 hours, you got the IG influencers, roided up monsters, entitled karens and kens who feel they own every machine cause they can occupy two or more machines at once. I want people to read the history of how far down hill this gym has gone to avoid it at all cost till things improve. **2022 UPDATE** MANY MACHINES STILL MISSING PINS! EVERYTHING IS STILL THE SAME. **UPDATE** If I can grant this gym no stars I would. most of the machines have been vandalized, rusted or the pins are missing. It's perpetually filthy inside. The staff is inattentive to people walking in, so some random vagrant and sketchy people tend to just walk in without checking in. The water pressure for the fountains is ridiculously low, like you need to suck the fountain spout if you need water it's counter productive if you're trying to reduce waste because all it's doing is forcing people to buy the water bottles inside. I don't appreciate the person here on google telling me to "talk to the manager" because if the manager doesn't know about this at this point they genuinely don't care and Planet Fitness corporate needs to be notified.

Review for Planet Fitness (Supreme Fitness Franchise) My child was violated. Request to print the contract for you to read it before signing. They will say they can't unless you sign. Unless someone raises a class action, lawsuit against this company it won't stop. The manager said he or she is not required to inform the customer of the fees in person on the first visit of the gym. Especially a minor. It's online in the fine prints. They didn't even inform me. Either I asked them specific questions, and they failed to put in those details. Very deceptive. My child was very excited to go to the gym. You have been taking all his earnings, which is approximately 115.00 in less than 2 months I want to share our experience with a Planet Fitness franchise, Supreme Fitness, to help others avoid unexpected charges. My child, a minor, joined on November 8th, 2024, after seeing their $1.00 plus tax signup promotion. He also paid $9.00 plus tax to use the gym until November 17th, 2024, their billing date. Unfortunately, important details about the membership were not clearly explained upfront. Here’s what happened: After the initial payments, additional charges appeared, including $33.38 as a gym fee and $20 as a late fee, totaling $51.38. This pattern of unexpected charges continued for two months without a clear explanation at the time of signup. After two months, an annual fee of $51.28 will be and continue to be charged on the same date every year. This critical detail was not communicated during the signup process. When we spoke to the manager, they claimed all terms were available online and did not need to be explained in person. As a parent, I find this practice unacceptable, especially since minors may not fully understand the terms of their membership. Businesses like this should clearly explain all fees, including annual charges, late fees, and cancellation policies, in person during the signup process—not just rely on online fine print. If you're considering joining this gym, I strongly recommend: I am asking for a detailed explanation of all fees, billing cycles, and annual charges in person. Requesting written documentation to ensure you fully understand the terms. Transparency is essential, and I hope this review encourages Planet Fitness franchises like Supreme Fitness to prioritize clearer communication with their members, especially when minors are involved. The manager told me via the telephone they are not responsible for telling you anything once you are sign-up online. People understand they will not inform you on your first-time in-person visit. They are required to even if they claim to in their policies, they are required to in New State especially a minor. I was reading their contract indemnity clause. Go back to New york article and read, which protects you. Start voicing your complaints one by one until you get enough people to get the courts attention to how they conduct business

Been going to this gym for about 3 months now since September 22 2024 and tbh it not a bad gym but definitely room for improvement over the the time i attended this gym i noticed there really not alot of space, machines may be broken and not be in service for a while also the machines are old wear down you will notice most of them lost their grip handle bars , most machines be so occupied that you may have to cut your work out short due to the excessive waiting. On the postive end once you enter you feel like you enter a friendly community at first i felt a bit timod but after a few times it becomes motivating constantly seeing the same faces as you walk in you feel like you are on a journey to fitness together also i will say there is a few times i lost my wallet and every single time i was able to retrive it without any issue there was even an time another customer help me look for it and found it together no thieves are in that gym so no need to worry about a lock

I stopped going here because the front desk guy had been using my pass to buy himself water which is just super weird, thank God I didn't have a credit card in my pass. I called management, but no one was available at the time to see my receipt and do something about it. It was like nobody cared really. I switched to a forest hills one now.

Ughhhhh don’t try to cancel. It’s such a hassle. This gym on Jamaica isn’t even nice. The machines are old and so many of them are rusted. They offer you a personal training session just one but it’s mostly like an assessment before they try to sell you their package which is on top of their monthly fee. ITS NOT WORTH IT. BETTER OF AT PLANET FITNESS. At least they won’t charge you a cancellation fee on top of your monthly fee.

It’s very clean so many machines and no judgment I love this place New to the gym

Overall this gym is nice. But I have 2 problems, one being that most of the upper and lower body machines smell very bad. If you ever went to a farm and smelled cow poop then you would know. My second issue is that there are only 2 bench presses and the rack is pretty dirt and flimsy. Overall I would recommend anyone that is new to the gym to come to Jamaica Blink fitness. The staff are really nice too.

A big thank you to the manager Mr. Jay. You have been a true blessing. Thank you for fixing my issue, and thank you for making my tears go away. I truly appreciate you. It's not many of us left with great hearts.

It's been some time, this review is long overdue. This Blink location is my 2nd most visited spot since it's only a little farther than the location in Ozone Park. This is one of the larger Blink gyms in Queens and what experience you'd get in this gym is pretty random. I come in here consistently around the early afternoon and there are times where the gym is surprisingly half full and machines are ready to use and there are times where the place is so loaded you'll be waiting awhile to use certain machines. My favorite thing of this place is the vibe. Staff are attentive, and the gymgoers are pretty social compared to other places in Queens. Some of them could brush up on their gym etiquette, such as cleaning up behind them and putting the weights back where they're supposed to be at but that's just a small complaint. It doesn't happen often enough to be a problem.

If you have active and fit direct beware they will up charge you for basic gym amenities. They also lack training on signing members up with active and fit direct. The first day I came the "computer was broke", the young man was nice enough to let me use the gym for free the first time. I came back a second time. The young lady at front desk accused me of signing up for the wrong gym. I had active and fit for 4 years I'm fully aware of the process in which I tried to explain to her. I asked her to call her manager, not sure why SHE didn't call her manager as she clearly needed assistance. The manager was nice and knew how to do her job but being blatantly lied on as a customer is ridiculous and ghetto . I came here to work out , I don't need to waste my time walking in that mall and up the stairs to not know what gym I'm paying for like be for-real. Employees should be trained on how to sign up ALL MEMBERS. Never had this issue elsewhere. Place is really clean for the most part but showers are small and the water is cold as hell. Manager said she doesn't use the showers , well I'm paying for that. It should absolutely be hot water coming out the shower. The customer service is okay if you aren't a member of the community. The regulars get treated very well. If you're new , ehhh. Location is not great, smack dead in the hood but I never had any serious issues but just keep that in mind. I'm sure this is very convenient for the locals. The machines are pretty old in comparison to a LA Fitness per say. Very much outdated which is underwhelming to say the least. The gym is on the smaller side and the last few times I came here I have been very annoyed by this as it can get really crowded and people just don't care. You can be on the treadmill or a machine and it's people doing dumbbell exercises right in front of you , any and everywhere because thats how cramped it can get.

Hello, I visited your Rochdale location yesterday, New Year’s Eve, and I am aware that the club closes at 3 PM. However, I was very disappointed with how the staff, including management, handled the closing process. I entered the club at 2:30 PM, and shortly after, one of the managers claimed they were closing at 2:50 PM. While I was still on the machine, the lights were turned off, and staff began yelling at members to leave because they wanted to go home. It wasn’t even 3 PM yet, and the behavior was extremely unprofessional. As someone who relies on this facility to relieve stress, the shouting and yelling created great anxiety for me and disrupted my workout. I am considering ending my membership due to this experience, although this location is convenient for me. I hope you will address this issue and remind your staff to treat members with respect, especially during closing hours.

I didn’t give it a 5 star because the cleaning guy there is always in the women’s locker room and makes us ladies feel very uncomfortable. He used to wait outside the door but during my last few visits around 9-10pm, he’d be in there cleaning with no regard that women are changing. I don’t know why this gym doesn’t have a woman janitor and why the gym doesn’t put a sign blocking the door to warn women that the bathroom is being cleaned. Safety first.

I ❤️ Crunch. I have been a member at Crunch Rochdale for 4 years. I decided to write a review today because as a gym usually ages it sometimes can decline. However, Crunch Rochdale has always remained consistent. The gym floor is clean, the locker room is clean, the machines are clean and the variety of classes are always top notch especially HIIT. The biggest plus for me is the staff who always acknowledges me - it definetely gives me that boost on the days I don’t feel like working out. I wanted to give you a shout out for your consistency - I appreciate ya. Special acknowledgment to Tina for always being courteous and understanding it goes a long way - Thank you 🙏🏾

Love the atmosphere.......love the front desk people when I go there on Sundays, and the fitness instructor Fabby is AWESOME....!!!!! She gets you to work and push yourself !!!!! Her HITT workout class is crazy but you get a good sweat....!!!!! Definitely recommend it.

My wife and I have been clients for over 3 years now. What we love about Jeff, our trainer at Maceus Studios, is his kind, courteous, and patient personality. You meet first Jeff, the kind and decent human being before you meet Jeff, the sculpted trainer. He motivates you with a courteous firmness to strive towards your fitness goal. He keeps himself informed in health and fitness so he can impart the most tailored advice specific for you. Moreover, his fees are very reasonable. He offers two for one packages for couples and training buddies. This not only helps offset the cost, but it provides motivation for you to be more consistent when you have a training partner to go to the gym with you. The other trainers at the gym reflect Jeff's courtesy and decency even if they have their own personality and training style. But in sum, we have no regrets about joining Maceus Studios. Thanks to Jeff and Maceus Studios, we have become more consistently health and fitness conscious.

Jeff has been a great trainer & his style of always keeping the body guessing has been working great for me. He helps you push past the limits you thought you had! I look forward to my training sessions every week. If you want to get into your best shape, I highly recommend reaching out to Maceus Studio.

My instructor name is Jeff in an month time I done lost 24.7 lbs. Thanks to Jeff I'm motivated and excited about losing this weight. 10/10 stars give this place an 20.

My experience has been great & the results exceeded my expectations. After visiting a few times I gradually developed a different mindset,I was now disciplined & consistent.

I used to come here all the time for classes. If you are ready to get serious about working out, being healthy and staying the course to lose weight this is a great environment
