Lucille Roberts - Forest Hills

It’s the ONLY safe space left for women in NYC who don’t feel comfortable working out in co-ed settings. Rich variety of classes offered. Weight room downstairs, personal training also available. Highly recommend it!

I don’t understand why people in the reviews are complaining about male trainers/instructors, we should all feel blessed to have the last standing all women’s gym in New York. I feel comfortable being surrounded by female gym members and male instructors being around. This gym always had male instructors since way back. I first joined 14 years ago and they already had male instructors I appreciate being able to be part of an all girls gym and not have to deal with the anxiety of working out around so many men.

We have been at Lucille's on and off over the years and it was okay. This time, we were greeted by Aisha at the counter who did an all around wonderful job. Great addition to Lucille's! The gym is clean, many types of different equipment and we're enjoying our visits. So very much better than Planet Fitness. Sorry we didn't go to Lucille's first!

There is a old man working out at this gym. I thought Lucille Robert’s was only for women. This is unacceptable. It’s making people uncomfortable. Just look at the women terrified :(

Update as of 12/14: this is not about the gym itself but the gym goers. Some folks really lack common sense and respect. First off, if you are late to a class you stay in the back, don’t try to find a spot closer to the front just because that”s “your spot,” when it’s rude but also now you’re blocking others so keep arms-width distance apart and stay in your space. Stop leaving your bags on the studio floors, there are signs everywhere and it’s a safety hazard. And take your phone calls out of the studio or away from where others are working out. If you take any equipment then you put the equipment back and clean up after yourself. You wipe the machine before and after, respect the space. If you are sick, do not come to the gym, you’re clearly contagious and that’s selfish of you. The bathrooms should be clean, flush the toilet and keep the stall and toilet clean. Stop bringing your phones or talking in the sauna when others are there, be respectful of the fact that there are others there too. Lockers should have locks on them, so we know it’s occupied but also to keep your items safe, you’re putting way too much faith in others to not steal from you. Quit blocking the doorways and stairs, this is for people to move in and out not for you to chat or use your phone. Lastly, quit hogging the machines, equipment and space. We all pay for our dues and should be mindful that this is a shared space. We are all adults and should show courtesy and respect to all. I’ve been to plenty of gyms from planet fitness to blink, to one of Groupon classes for boxing, expensive day pass classes and other classes across the city. I always thought LR was going to be super expensive. For $35 a month, I can take ALL the classes I want, access equipment that is NEVER HOGGED, change in a locker room, AND end my day in a sauna, while being in a comfortable space surrounded by amazing and respectful women. I’ll take it. I literally joined a week ago and have gone three times so far and absolutely love it. I feel better physically and mentally. I look forward to trying more classes and continuing my fitness journey, I hope others do too!
