Best

Right off the bat, the only thing that I don't like is that the rubber-matting by the squat rack is a bit wonky so if you are a big deadlifter,you'll be a bit miffed when the barb...

They have a great gym here, the staff are friendly and some have some interesting stories. I am always glad to come here and get my mind off of the real world and get some thing h...

Bad Front Service and Paid Parking 2/3/2010

Sign in- service was excellent, everything went quick. They have multiple classes, Yoga, Pilates and lots of muscle building and strength improving opportunities. When I attended morning classes it was fine. After my schedule changed I only could go to evening classes- overcrowded, lack of equipment, not enough room on the floor. It started to bother me since I was unable to exercise. Parking always difficult, or you can park in the Parking, but you have to pay for it. Since I'm paying for gym, parking should be free, not only discounted. Then I canceled my membership- and here it begins. Unprofessional and rude service all over! Ive been dealing with them till now- even my membership is canceled, they keep charging me. they probably didn't cancel it properly and my info is still there, every month I keep being charged and have to call for a refund. Every time they say the same story- the ruled of canceling my membership- and dont listen to what I have to say. What a mess. I keep reaching the manager;'s office for a week and nobody ever called me back. Finally I got a refund and here it goes again another month. The girl- Lisa- the manager of the Bay Rodge location- has negative attitude and got upset about my complaint. (why am I being charged and the I have to deal with those girls, and each one of them asks me whats my problem- cant they put it together?) Well, good luck when you cancel. Anyway - I think they are overpriced for the service they have and overcrowded classes they provide. Pros: great trainers, multiple classes Cons: paid parking, overcrowded classes, lack of equipment, more

great gym! 10/22/2009

best gym in the area (and probably in entire brooklyn!) I've been a member for 2+ yrs and still very satisfied. Their hours work with my schedule, although 24/7 applies to Mon-Thurs only. Still, more convenient than any other gym! the locker room has all you need after a workout and a shower- from towels, shampoo, etc. to qu-tips, hairspray, deodorant, etc. My only suggestion for them is to place the ""butt machine"" into a corner, to avoid stares (yes, some men are there mostly to socialize and stare, which i guess is unavoidable in any co-ed gym). Staff are friendly and the classes are great. Pros: hours, towels, supplies, clean, classes,no wait for machines Cons: none :) more

Absolutely Affordable & the best value for your money in NY 4/26/2009

I recently joined Harbor and can honestly say I am very impressed. Within my 1st week the front desk staff not only greeted me by 1st name, but my 2 children as well! Pros: always greeted with a smile!!, plenty of freebies included Cons: tanning only in park slope location more

Health & Fitness Nut 10/26/2008

Not a bad place for Brooklyn! \r The excellent service & attention offered by the desk people is what really made me join this health club.\r First contact with the desk staff made me feel "at home."\r It's a family run operation & these people really treat you like their family--very rare these days in a business.\r As for facilities & amenities: they are pretty good. Price is reasonable for what they offer (Personal Training, childcare, nutrition help, 24hrs. are all included in their monthly dues). I like this place & I think I've been around enough health clubs to know what I'm talking about. more

Surprisingly delightful! 10/12/2008

My husband and I moved from Manhattan to Bay Ridge after having my little girl and joined the closest health club to my condo. After spending over $100- a month at my club in the city I wasnt expecting much in Brooklyn but was amazed at what I came across at the Harbor Fitness. Lisa at the front desk extends every courtesy to me when I check in and the 2 ladies in the nursery room, Nancy and Norma, made my daughter love to come to the gym. The facilities were completely updated with new equipment since I joined and the classes are as intense as I remember in the city. This club is very professionally run, clean, and truly has the nicest people working here! Pros: parking, nursery, classes, equipment more

Decent 8/3/2007

I just recently joined this gym, as I moved from Queens to Brooklyn a month ago. I had been at another, much larger gym. This gym is ok for what it is. Parking can be tough on the street (meters). They have a "parking lot" but it's a lot next door, and you get a discount there. But to have to pay to park daily (plus tip) is not my idea of "ample parking." The place is extremely clean. I go during the day, and they have a guy who is all over the place cleaning. The staff is very professional looking, as well as friendly. The gym is tight, and the ab area is in a small room with some cardio stuff. If more than 2-3 people want to do abs at once, it could easily become elbow to elbow. The locker room is outdated, but serves its purpose. I have not used the shower or sauna. Overall it is ok...not sure if there are better in Brooklyn. more

Ok value for the money 3/19/2007

After having been a member at a number of gyms across the country, I can not rate this gym very highly. Yes, the gym is open 24 hours on weekdays, features classes, lots of equipment, towels, nice sauna, protein shakes, relatively friendly staff and reasonable membership costs. Pros: work hours, spaciousness, staff Cons: old equipment, shabby interiors, locker rooms more
