CFX 54th & Pulaski

I have gone in as a guest on a few occasions. My experience was very positive. They have a variety of equipment, good music, clean environment. Staff is very helpful and welcoming. Dennis, the manager, does a great job and Nick ,staff member, was very accommodating.There's a good supply of cleaning equipment to use on the equipment before and after you work out. Some equipment may need replacement soon but that is to be expected when there is so much usage. If feel like that should be addressed by corporate and not fall on the staff. Overall, a great environment to work out in.

SH!TTY gym! Unclean, equipment is not taken care off, kids who don’t pay the membership come in and out and it’s unfair to those who DO pay. This place is always PACKED. This gym should not be 24hrs if anyone can just come in and out. Bathrooms are disgusting. Yoga mats are disgusting. Padding and handle grips on machines are nearly nonexistent. How is this place still open?!

They charge you 15.00$ if you let someone else in which is understandable. They send you the video also to prove you let them in. They charged me 15.00$ for letting someone in, but the video shows otherwise. I came in, door closed and 10-20 seconds later someone else came in. I did not let them in, but they still charged me 15.00$?. This gym used to be a good place to work out, but lately it has gone downhill. I have seen multiple people let others in and treat the gym like they own it. There’s homeless people coming and going as they please. I’d recommend either going to 71st CFX, cancel membership or work out at home.

I am astonished that a gym such as this is still in business. During my time at this gym I have experienced many danger hazards and unhygienic standards. To start I believe that a gym should maintain the cleanliness of their establishments to the best of their abilities. When you enter the gym restrooms be prepared to walk into one of the most foul smelling and dirtiest restrooms. To top it off the gym has managed to not maintain a certain standard for this situation. Next is the gym equipment. For the most part the equipment is not entirely clean but you can manage a good workout. The down side is weights are limited in my opinion. And the bars and bench pads are damaged. Many machines lack the material on the handles. Plus side they have kettlbells and turf. Be warry of walking barefoot in the restrooms have heard the most outrageous stories.

With in the last 3 years, this gym has really declined. It’s always dirty, the bathrooms smell horrible and are never clean, the turf patch is moldy, there’s trash everywhere, and there is a lot of defective equipment that doesn’t get cycled out, like bent barbells. On top of that, there’s always high school kids smoking and vaping in the bathrooms, and sometimes they’re wrestling in the middle of the gym. The workers seem to not care because I never see them at least address the smoking or the wrestling. As if the underage smoking in a public gym wasn’t bad enough, Sometimes, if you go early enough in the morning, there’s a homeless person in the gym. It’s just an overall horrible gym at this point. I wish I was making up this stuff.
