Reviews

Never had a bad experience but today came here after my overnight shift to workout and waited for about 15 minutes and no one even came to open the gym saw a lot of people leave frustrated and best believe I was one of them.

Zero cell service, which I understand is not their fault. However, WiFi never works. Maybe worked once in last 3 years. You have to download songs to your phone to even listen to music. I only come here when I have to. It’s a black hole

This is going to be a nightmare once that day care center opens up next door. it's already horrible for parking certain hours of the day. If it wasn't for that and the fact there's only one cross cable machine, I'd give it 5 stars. Definitely clean and I love that there are 4 squat racks. I just wish they would take the screens off the treadmills. They don't work and you have a nice view of outdoors.

I used to go to a different gym on the island (Hint: it's named after a city in California) and if you read it's reviews (just look up any of their three locations), you'll know why I'm now in search of a new gym.
Can't say for any other locations but this Tottenville location is smaller than I thought but at the same time, it's super clean and the staff who signed me up was super chill (Started with a V).
I not only value how clean this location is but the other gym goers are very respectable about the equipment. Weights are racked where there need to be and everyone keep to themselves for the most part. Great gym. Can't wait for future visits.

This gym is very well kept and organized. Everything is clean and up to date. The front desk and rest of staff is very attentive and helps with anything needed. Been going here for years and never had any complaints. Also cant forget they make the best protein shakes

I seriously love this gym started 2 months ago and it has been nothing but the best for me . Almost lost 20 pounds . Also thanks to Vinny he is such amazing worker and person who

I always dreaded working out or going to the gym until Orange Theory. The coaches always take their time to explain every exercise, offer feedback, and push me when it's needed. The front desk staff is always welcoming and understanding. I've gone from someone who had to force myself to go to the gym 2-3 times per week to happily signing up for 6 orange theory classes weekly!

Love Planet fitness ,Gym is clean,nice,Lots of workout machines available,Instructor to help you as well.Staff very helpful,friendly,Sauna room,Massage chairs,Massage lounge chairs are very nice,clean,Bathrooms are nice,clean,I really enjoy my workouts,Yes I definitely would recommend Planet fitness to everyone A ++

Orangetheory has completely transformed my perspective on fitness. I have never felt more motivated to go to a gym. The trainers are exceptional, providing both expertise and encouragement in every session. Their ability to push me to new limits while ensuring proper form and technique is truly commendable. Additionally, the staff at Orangetheory is simply wonderful. From the warm welcome at the front desk to the genuine support throughout my workout, their positive energy creates an uplifting and inclusive atmosphere. At Orangetheory, I've found not only a place to work out, but a community that inspires me to strive for my best.

I’ve been going to this gym for about 5 years and sometimes thing’s were not working and I would let the front desk know ,maybe two to three weeks later it would be fixed .But now 2024 the last two weeks I’ve been there ,the machines not working correctly no digital read out while your working out on machine , row machine where you strap your feet into is broken tears in the row cord and lcd screen not working correctly, walking over to the treadmill and roof is leaking on machine so no one can use it , hand sanitizer stations bottles broken can not use to clean hands , during all this I will see Emloyees walking around just dusting around the machines that’s it . Then to top it all off you want to go to the bathroom and then wash your hands in sink ,It’s disgusting sinks looked clogged like someone took a bath in the sink , looks as if no one even maintains it , Really bad !

Eric was very friendly and accommodating. Thank you! I would request that there is deadlift bar and decline bench added by the dumbbells. Dumbbells would also be easier to read if the weight is labeled larger.

rude worker who worked the front desk , was completely disrespectful, disgusting attitude this place needs to hire better people who actually want to do their job! if i could give this establishment 0 stars i would

I've been to several OTF locations and I am amazed at this location. Sorry Brooklyn but as soon as I walked into Richmond Ave it was nothing but smiles from the staff and members. The members were all so cool and welcoming. I was greeted by Jess who came around from behind the desk to show me around a little. The coach came out to talk to the members before class. In other OTF locations the coaches are nice but they always stayed in the studio until class started. Not here, coach Dylan came out looked at me as said " a new face welcome, please let me know if you need anything in class". Of course I forgot my OTbeat in the car and class was just starting. I was contemplating do I go get it and start late or just go workout. Without saying anything I felt a tap on my shoulder and there was Melissa handing me a OTbeat. She noticed I didn't have one and she let me borrow a loaner. After class I found out she was the manager. Of course this place ran smoothly when you have a caring manager like her.
Going into class stress free for that hour was phenomenal! The coach was motivational ,he had energy and the music was pumping.
I think/ I know I found the right location to come back to over and over.

Very nice gym. Friendly staff. Good equipment. Not too crowded. Definitely recommended.

If you like training, this is the place for you.
It’s clean, the equipment is good, And they have excellent staff. What I like the most is that it opens at 4 am. Come on by and check it out.

This review reflects my disappointing and discouraging encounter with the front desk staff, Danielle, and the studio manager, Melissa, at Orange Theory Fitness Studio 0415 in Staten Island, Richmond.
I gained weight over the holiday and with the encouragement of my best friend finally gained the confidence to start my fitness journey. My best friend, who made the trek from midtown Manhattan to support me on my gym journey, was by my side as we eagerly awaited the 12pm class. To ensure a smooth experience, we even notified the studio of our expected arrival at 11:40am, considering rain-related traffic and an accident.
Upon reaching the studio, we were told to sit down and even placed our items in the lockers. I was in the process of settling in and going over paperwork as this was my first class when Danielle abruptly interrupted, rudely informing me that there wasn't enough time to participate in the class. Her actions made the situation unnecessarily confrontational, and the timing seemed deliberate, as if she wanted to make an example out of my situation by waiting for the previous class to form a crowd before intervening. The entire interaction was embarrassing and made me feel belittled. Not only did Danielle make me feel uncomfortable but I could see that her colleague assisting me also looked stunned and was left speechless.
To compound the frustration, another first-time member patiently waited to speak with the coach—a process I was told would take ten minutes. Had Danielle not disrupted my conversation, I could have reviewed the introduction paperwork and joined the new member for a discussion with the coach. The fact that the new member was still waiting to speak to the coach even after I left the studio at 11:55pm just shows the disregard for the schedule, especially considering Danielle being a stickler to the 12pm class start time. This inconsistency suggests that the studio may make clients wait but does not uphold the punctuality they advocate for.
The studio had several opportunities to inform me that I couldn't take the class—before my arrival, during the introduction, or even when I sent the initial text. Regrettably, the unprofessional and deflating conduct I experienced has influenced my decision not to return to Studio 041 and it has even discouraged me from continuing my fitness journey—a process that took a lot of effort to initiate in the first place.
My hope is that nobody else has to feel demotivated on their fitness journey, recognizing the significant effort it takes just to step into the gym. For a fitness studio that claims to value community and inclusivity, they really missed the mark.
***I do not have anything negative to say about the coaches or the condition of the facility, as my interactions have been limited to the front desk staff and management.

Complete disappointment. I’ve been to 4 studios and this is by far the most rude and unwelcoming one due to Danielle’s approach and tone. Every other employee in Orange Theory was kind, helpful. I was bringing my best friend for a wonderful first time experience to Orange Theory, and while one of the Orange Theory employees was explaining the information about the class to my best friend (and close to being finished), Danielle decided to interrupt and tell them it’s too late.
Literally go to any other Orange Theory (Hylan, Bryant Park, Hell’s Kitchen, Park Slopes, etc) you will never get this type of hostility and lack of service.
Danielle just some tips for life. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.

Great place to lift, staff is friendly, owner makes sure equipment is always working properly. The other members there are generally pretty friendly and it makes for a pleasant workout experience. The place is one of the smaller retros but it has everything you need to get a good lift every day. The place definitely has a more mature feel to it, but it’s easy to feel comfortable and have fun while getting your lift in. Definitely recommend.

Every workout is challenging but doable. I've never been athletic but I have seen my body get stronger and stronger. The coaches are so supportive and their positivity helps me succeed. This is a great workout for people who need structure and guidance in their routine.

As a mom of 2 little ones that works full-time, Orangetheory Fitness has been absolutely perfect! There are days where I have to head to the gym immediately after finishing work and making dinner; Knowing that my session is already planned out is a game-changer.
I've worked out in the past and have even purchased programs from personal trainers. Finding the motivation after a long, trying day isn't easy. That's where the OTF Coaches come into play. Their high energy is infectious, and their tips and guidance are super helpful!
I went through a period of approximately 5 1/2 years of successful and failed pregnancies which took quite a toll, both, physically and emotionally. After being a member of Orangetheory Fitness for the past 9 months, I can happily say that I'm catching a glimpse of my old self again. That's the version of myself that I want my sons to grow up seeing --Strong, confident, and healthy.

I have been going to LA Fitness in the Greenridge Plaza for almost 2 years now. It is consistently dirty, and the equipment is old, worn, and constantly broken. It literally takes them 6 months to repair broken machines or worn-out pads. The pins for the equipment and even the magnets that make the treadmills work disappear on a regular basis. The only reason I still go there is because it's conveniently located and the people who use the gym are nice.

Awesome gym. Has everything you need and I like it better than Hylan. Staff and members are great too.










It's been a few years since I've done my last review, so I figured I'd update it. This gym has become a second home to me but it's not without faults.
The morning front desk staff are always great and friendly. The community of early morning regulars is also amazing. They're incredibly motivating, and the camaraderie is pretty awesome. Whether I need a spotter, some workout advice, or just a chat, I can always count on them. The sense of belonging and shared fitness goals here is truly special.
However, there are a couple of areas where I think this Retro could improve. First, the absence of a hack squat machine is a noticeable and inexcusable gap, especially when comparing it to other gyms on Staten Island. Adding one would be a significant improvement. I've been to about 5 other gyms on Staten Island in the past few years, and ALL of them have a hack squat machine, aside from this gym. Please get one as soon as possible. It's an essential gym machine. Additionally, the middle greenspace area tends to get overcrowded with random equipment, making it challenging for multiple people to use it effectively. A bit of reorganization in this space could make it more versatile and appealing.
On a somewhat frustrating note that's not the gym's fault, some members still don't re-rack their weights. This is a simple act of respect for the gym and fellow members, and I hope more people will take this to heart. I've also had to come during lunch hours and the gym becomes extremely crowded and sometimes the younger kids that come at that time spend their workout time texting rather than actually doing their workout and end up hogging gym equipment. Again, have more respect for fellow gym members.
They offer daily classes throughout the week, but you need to follow their social media accounts or check out the signs within the gym to see what and when.
This Retro has a lot going for it, with friendly morning staff, a motivating morning community, and good equipment maintenance. Some room for improvement exists, particularly in adding a hack squat machine and reorganizing the middle greenspace. This Retro has become more than just a gym for me; it's a place I look forward to visiting every day.

Nice place for everyone to kick back relax and feel like family

I went there a lot of times, it was awesome!!


All of this facilities Hydro Message beds are useless they either don’t have pressure or don’t let you make adjustments WHY do they EVEN HAVE A SCREEN BY THE BED?? like all the other PFs I go too. Staff is nice, and the machines work but they gotta do better in the black card spa


I love this gym , I would like more exercise equipment, example smith machine:)) all the staff are friendly!!!

The best value for your money. You can exercise, get a massage, get a tan , take a shower for a very low price of 25.00 a month . Worth every penny and the staff will help you with whatever questions you have to meet your fitness needs

great gym. staff is nice! can actually get on equipment. No one’s hanging out-
people actually want to work out here unlike other gyms on this island!

Worst gym and customer service. All treadmill machines have been broken for over 6 month. They are not getting fixed, magnets for treadmill to work are not given to members, actually it is depends on who ever on front desk, women with curly short hair refused to give. I don’t think paying $50 membership for a gym and not being able to use it. Asked to cancel membership, reply can’t help you with that, this location doesn’t have a manager, go to Hyland Blvd, the only location in Staten Island that has a manager who is able to cancel membership. Stay away, much better gyms around with newer equipment, and great customer service.

Recently started and I must say it's nice. Quiet. Clean. Friendly. Good amount of options. Looking forward to the completion of the second floor recreation area.

Great location. I’ve been a member here years ago but had to leave LA Fitness when I moved out of town. Otherwise I would’ve gladly stayed. Bill and Patrick were fantastic in helping me when I came back in town to visit in helping set up a short term pass.

I come here every Saturday it's fun

I have been a member of this gym for the past 2 years, visited all the locations, and the LA Fitness at Arthur Kill deserves less than 1 star. The front desk staff is always, ALWAYS rude. I think they hate working there, and I can understand why. I would hate it too.
Also:
1. All the step machines broken
2. Machines without pins
3. Most of Treadmills are broken as well
4. Charging annual fee for maintenance and not maintaining any equipment
5. To sign up you can do it right away, and there are 5 people helping you but to cancel your membership be aware!! they will give you a hard time and an ATTITUDE !

Great place and great people. I enjoy the pump that you get before the workout and then the wind down after the workout. They are very attentive with keeping track of completing tasks. If you want to see results, go to this gym!! A great touch is the ability to track my progress on the app. And make sure I have all my class times. The front desk is absolutely amazing with greeting you when you walk in and when you leave. The staff is friendly and good with letting you know of any upcoming events.

There is an old lady that has classes with all elderly people. She yelled at me and was very rude and disrespectful. She was making faces at me while walking out. This lady completely ruined my morning workout and I’m completely disgusted. I recommend staying away from her to save your sanity.
and no I’m not sure of her name.
and no I’m not sure of her name.

Clean, friendly staff, good assortment of group classes! Lap swim hours are consistent and gym has everything you need (weights, machines, cardio, basketball court, tennis court.) My husband and I joined after moving to Staten Island recently and are so glad we did! A truly kind, family friendly atmosphere.

The staff is nice and helpful. The machines are relatively new and are clean and the bathrooms are clean. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone who is interested.

The pool is nice and clean, but the women’s shower room and bathroom are smelly, the staff there are so mean, they rush you and just giving you 5mins to shower and change. And we see men and teenagers boys in lady’s room.

Excellent facilities with outstanding coaches.
And at readily affordable prices.
And at readily affordable prices.

Very spacious pool. Unfortunately they only allow a small portion of the pool to be open. I don't know if they aren't receiving enough funding. Besides that this pool is nice

Nice pool…..there are a lot of rules. Locker rooms are very old and lots of stalls are broken. There’s a smell. If you can get past that the pool is very nice and clean.

Great place to be but lousy hours it’s a recreational center that people need to recreate on the weekends and they close at 2 o’clock on Saturdays and Sunday. That’s insane. That’s when people need recreation the most and that’s when you have the most to be there but they close go figure it's New York City for you the park Dept can't pay two people for another 5, 6 hours so people could enjoy it. I'd rather just close it.

My daughter LOVES the swimming lessons here and I like the spacious locker room. But I have two suggestions lol! One of the two hairdryers has not been working for long. And many of us have to wait in the line to use the only one that works or have to choose to leave with wet hair. Hopefully the one broken can be repaired and it will be convenient for us. The other suggestion is the housekeeper can check every bathroom and makes sure the toilet is clean. I found a paper tower has been sitting on the toilet ring for more than 2 weeks, same shape of the wet paper tower and same spot on the toilet. I guess that toilet has not been checked and cleaned for at least 2 weeks. Today I reported it to a cleaning lady. Hopefully she has cleaned it!

I called 30 times and no pickup and says there open😔

excellent 3-4k school programs, great fitness center, nice employees

Took my little brother here for his birthday. Extremely reasonable are and super clean gym.

The kid loves the summer program they have. I get to rest until 5pm.

Very nice place the workout room was so good. I had a excellent time running on the treadmill. The staff at this center were friendly and nice.








They need to get their act together on Amboy/Richmond ave. In Staten Island Machines are always broken sometimes over a month. Even the water fountain is broken. Many machines are filthy. Ripped up upholstery. Weights all over the place it's like an obstacle course in there sometimes.

One of the worst locations you can sign up for. It is dirty and most of the equipment is old and partially not working. When I wanted to cancel rep stated that I can cancel at any time before my next payment. Once I cancelled 2 weeks later rep told me that they will charge me for another month either or because I canceled less then 7 days before the next payment. I will never be back and Ill make sure nobody from my friends or family will sign for your membership either. Bogus customer oriented business, stay away.






I have been a member of multiple gyms on Staten Island and I really liked this one at first but it did not take long for me to realize how horrible it is. It's actually beyond horrible for one of the priciest fitness gigs on Staten Island it is the WORST. Everything is broken or missing key parts making the machines inoperable. I carry my own treadmill magnet and pin because without them there will be ZERO workout and I may as well stay home! It's filthy. The bathrooms smell like urine ALL THE TIME! No paper towels, equipment empty bottles laying all over the place. Just gross and unfortunate for me convenient so I stay here but you know Retro is next on my list! This is a pitiful and discraceful business.



This review is for ( Ty) location manager. Question, do you know that this gym is located in the ( 10312) area code ?
What you need to do !!!! Right now, is replace all these f&@king broken elliptical machines. NOW, not tomorrow, not next week.
Gym members have been complaining about broken ellipticals for over two years.
The audacity for this Gym to make good money in an expensive neighborhood. And corporate, and yourself have members defaulting to ( planet Fittness ) to use an elliptical.
The Elliptical machine is primary machine. You need to replace all these broken machines, not for me. But for ( EVERYONE) and they should have been fixed years ago.
Because you have no problem accepting membership fees, we know you have ample monies appointed to these elliptical machines. Right now I’m on a half broken machine, the lady to right of me.
Her Elliptical is screeching so bad, that the sound is literally making me nauseated. You have the audacity to keep a gym like this in Eltingville!!!!
Ty, get moving !!!

Nice place for free (0-24yrs)!
Has 2 gyms, one with lifting equipment the other with elipticals and treadmills. Pingpong room, and different recreation rooms. Large soccer field, playgroud for younger kids and nice tennis courts.
2nd floor is getting renovated, so unaccesible.

Nice local gym. Can use a small face lift.. especially the bathroom

I live nearby and feel so lucky that I have access to this location by walking. We just enrolled, family of 5, and we got our city workers discount! Very clean and always friendly stuff.

Retro fitness of tottenville has the best staff and they work together in an orderly manner. I would reccomend this gym to anyone and the people who work out there are very nice and well mannered. However, there are always a few that think they are tough guys/women and act out when they are completely wrong! Also I love the FEMALE manager Sarah, she is very organized and sweet and prioritizes her customers to provide the best customer satisfaction possible! P.S if you are going to cause a scene about holding your jacket when there are locker rooms that are used for that, go find another gym respectfully. To that man who was acting out, you ruined my workout. Thank you retro for all that you do

the gym facility itself was nice . However, the customer service I received from the staff was not up to par. It's unfortunate that they were rude and unaccommodating towards me, which is unacceptable behavior from any establishment.
As a customer, you should always feel respected and valued, and it's unfortunate that i did not receive that level of service at Retro Fitness. It's concerning that the female manager did not make any effort to provide excellent customer satisfaction. It's the manager's job to ensure that customers are being treated well and that any issues are being addressed promptly.
Based on my experience, it's difficult to recommend Retro Fitness on Veterans Rd. to anyone looking for a gym with good customer service. While the gym itself may be nice, the staff's behavior towards me was unacceptable and disappointing. It's important for businesses to prioritize their customers and provide a positive experience, and unfortunately, this gym did not meet that expectation.

Gym has no pins in the machine. How do you use equipment with no pins? Now customers are bringing in long bots from Home Depot bc there are no pins.
Carpeting is ripped
Equipment ripped
Emails sents to La fitness are never responded too
Manager no where to be found
No stairmasters
90% of treadmills don’t work

Super helpful front desk. Joined for swimming .i have been there 2 times no issues.Always there is a space for lap swimming. Excellent sauna &steam room. The security guy was awesome and gave me the tour of the facility.

The adult swim classes are not taken seriously here. It was a waste of time and money. I shared my concerns with the director and he denied my reports then ignored follow up messages. I canceled my membership and will never return.

I’ve been coming to this place for working out for a few years now and I love it. All equipment are newer and the staff are very friendly and helpful. If you’re a hard core gym fellow you might wanna skip it, but if you just need a few hours of cardio per week then you should check it out. Okay now that the Covid mania has cooled down a bit the restrictions have eased up and I see more people and young kids coming in. It’s ok but it gets tight at parking sometimes

My husband and I have been a member for 3 years now. Setting aside Covid closure. This place is beyond clean and the staff is truly family. Every single person that works there- from the desk ppl to the maintenance ppl are always warming and inviting. I actually look forward to seeing them everyday.


Great gym for the casual guest looking to get into shape. Much more spacious than the locations in Brooklyn, and I found it to be much cleaner and much more organized than other locations. Staff is professional, and constantly re-racking weights and equipment which I don’t see happen too often unless it’s closing time at other locations. Some of these negative reviews are left by some petty people just trying to find a reason or excuse to not work out and stay lazy at home. If you’re focused on fitness, then get the job done and stop complaining about nonsense.

The 'white shirts and other higher ups' keep claiming they have no life-guards when there are at least 6; keep elders and pregnant women on the line; won't open the other areas; claim its overcrowed with 40 ppl in the water; use the NYPD to intimidate folks. If this were a white part of Staten Island would this really happen? NO!
Enjoyed this spontaneous outing 😊

A great indoor court with a good management team. Perfect for winter nights or hot summer days.


I was here for a COVID-19 test. All the stuff are very friendly and you just have to start a chat if the person isn't talking and voila they'll make your day

Excellent staff. Equipment is a bit dated but very clean. Not very crowded, a good place to get a quick workout in. Steph makes it feel like a neighborhood gym

This place should be considered a scam and the owners should be ashamed of themselves. You pay up to 300 dollars for 2 hours on a court and they can’t even give you the decency to wax the floors! Before COVID they would take care of the court too. Now they are just taking advantage of the current state the world is in to make money while not putting in the work. Disgusting and atrocious!

This place is a joke. Half of the facilities are broken or out of order. The steam room is down, the locker room is nasty, the staff are slow. Pool hours are all over the place and inconsistent, and the membership price even with a deal is way over priced. Went three times trying to use the pool and haven’t been able to yet.

The fitness room/weight room is absolutely amazing. It has anything and everything you need for strength training. Cardio room is very well equipped. Staff and super friendly and mega hardworking. Place wouldn't be as great without them.

Honest review? Terrible gym. USED to be OK when their hours were from 6am - 11pm and when they had not removed half of their overall equipment in their lower branch downstairs. The downstairs equipment at least gave people some flexibility they needed when most of the machines upstairs were occupied. In addition, many of the machines they used to have before their displacement were unique among gym goers. Unfortunately, now, you will have to spend more time waiting to use a machine when there were initially more options, along with having to deal with the displeasure of navigating huge, unnecessary crowds across the top branches due to taking away these machines from their customers. This is a terrible discourtesy to people who spend their hard earned money to come to this place and workout. For the price someone has to pay, they should at least expect a greater variety of machines for use. Lastly, the hours of operations are HORRENDOUS. They used to be open until 11pm, and then changed their open hour times to only 10pm on weekdays, and 9:00-9:30 on weekends! Terrible! What about the line of evening customers who depend on coming later for a good workout? Furthermore, they seem to have given top priority to seniors who want to play ping pong (who probably pay less) and are careless about who they bump into and hit during the game, over serious customers who pay considerably and come there to work out, hence why they probably took away their machines downstairs! Horrible.

Location, courts, prices and Lori/Staff are pure awesomeness 👍👍👍 my go to for relieving stress ...great to be back

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Clean and well taken care of recreation area with school lunch available for patrons. Life guards and staff are friendly and alert. Large pool that is clean and refreshing on hot summer days. Gym and other recreational services available to those that wish to participate. Well posted information and staff always willing to assist with any questions you have.

Never been besides for class trips and I can say very boring as I am sitting on the bench with my son watching the other kids play boring non basketball related games not sure if the arcade games are worth mentioning since you can’t play them visit at your own risk

If you're a parent looking to watch your child swim, this isn't the place for you. They don't have allow the parents on the pool floor (although there is a large empty bench there) due to capacity issues - which is understandable- kind of.
But what's not cool is that all parents are forced to look through a single glass see through door, standard sized door. Take your pick of crouching, standing, rotating with other parents so that you can watch your kid swim, for 45 minutes.
I started, and my kid is having fun, and so we'll finish. But come the end of the period, he'll be signed up with another center where I can sit and watch my kid swim.

The staff members are either extremely rude or extremely polite - no in between. There are some staff that I absolutely love but there are a few that are so rude. The ones that are rude are always seen gossiping and when you interrupt them for a split second to ask a question, they get very rude.
Also, I once forgot my pair of (new) Nikes in the locker room late at night, and I came back the next morning, realizing that I forgot them there, and they weren't there. I asked if they had a lost and found (which places like gyms usually should have) and they just gave me such and difficult time that I just gave up.
The biggest issue though, is the torn up/broken machines...it's been almost 3 months and they still haven't replaced/fixed this certain machine.
And they only have like 3 ab machines that i know of..some new machinery would be nice

As a personal trainer, I've been to a lot of gyms and always look for a place that I feel comfortable and welcome. This is NOT this place. The WORST thing about this place is the staff. They are so rude and unfriendly. I am a very kind and attentive person as that is part of my job but they just ALWAYS gave me a hard time. The staff at the front desk is so unhelpful and rude as they really always act miserable and so unhappy to be there. If you don't want to be there and you're making a hard time for everyone asking basic questions, then quit! I couldn't be unhappier with this place. WORST gym on the island, always crowded and not too much is available if you're a power lifter. Don't waste your time and money.

My friends and I made a reservation for Sunday 11-1 twice and both times we went there they closed.we called twice the second time just to make sure and they we still closed. Why let people make a reservation if you're just going to be closed when we get there? Untrustworthy people, never going back again







































Visited here to check this center out as a potential venue for an event. Maria, one of the employees was insanely helpful and a veritable fount of information! The grounds were beautiful, even covered in snow, and we could tell that when in bloom, would be even more gorgeous. I'm almost tempted to leave a bad review just to keep others away to keep the center all for myself, but I have to be honest, the Greenbelt Recreation Center is a great little place that is remote, quiet, and nice and cozy. They are a bit small, perhaps, but are very accommodating and have a lot of resources for your use.
