Club Fitness NY & Spa

I recently moved to astoria from the west side. I use to belong to equinox and when i got to astoria i was worried i wouldnt be able to find a gym like mine. when i toured club fitness and got the prices i was so happy! i not only found a gym that was as good as equinox it was half the price! I love pilates and when they gave me free classes i was exctatic. I actually wish i moved to astoria years ago, i am finally saving money here with rent and my lifestyle in general! i recommend this place and i have met really cool artists their too. join club fitness its really great. Try sabrina's manicures, she is so amazing and the price is so cheap!!!!

Pros: clean+new

Cons: not enough pilates classes

Gina the instructor is the only reason I get out of bed and into the gym. I just started losing weight and it is because she inspires me. I have been struggling with my weight since I was a little girl, my mom kept stuffing food in my mouth! I was embarassed to go to a gym but when i went to club fitness i felt comfortable. Ever since i started taking Gina's classes i finally feel i might have a chance to be thinner. thank you Gina ! you gave me hope! PS thank you for adding more morning classes! we really needed them!

Pros: classes

Cons: 0

I had a great time here. I went with my sister to get facials and mani/pedis. The atmosphere really took us out of Queens for an afternoon!

I'm giving a genuine review of this place - but like the previous reviewer, I'm disheartened that someone internally is plugging this place. (That's soooooooo shady). Anyhow - I'm not going to tell you to "check anything out" - but the real-deal is this, the gym is reasonably priced, very very spacious and you really don't ever have to wait for equipment, cleaner is provided everywhere (including sanitizer). Bathrooms are clean, amenities are available and priceless. Classes always seem to be packed, so people clearly like what they're getting. I simply love the hours of this gym - the fact that I can get a cup of tea on my way out & I've yet to meet someone that works there that is NOT friendly. A bit pushy in terms of when you first check them out and they're trying to make the sale, but beyond that - I'm VERY happy with my decision and I checked a number of other places. You get what you pay for - and this place is good as long as you're ok with saying NO to each "additional" cost item ... you'll find this place quite comfortable.

Pros: Great gym hours - clean bathroom, shower area & convenient little cafe onsite.

Cons: Lockers are kind of small/awkward sizes.

Pros: jacuzzi

Cons: none so far!

WOW! What a great Gym in Astoria, I feel like I am away on vacation in a spa in Barbados, or St. Thomas, or Aruba, etc.etc.etc., Anyway, Between the Classes, that they offer, and the beautiful gym itself, and facials, the massages, the tanning, the trainers, and lets not forget that beautiful bathroom with the great couches, the plasma TV's, (were I can sit down & work from my LapTop, then sit in the Jaccuzzi, Steam Room, & The Sauna, I leave so refreshed), that I look forward to going there again! Now talk about the beautiful people that you will be working out with! Single people you must come there you never know who you will meet. Also great contacts for networking your business. since I am in Real Estate! If you haven't join stop by and check it out. Maybe we will be working out next to each other. See you all at the Gym! Tina

Pros: Thumbs Up

Cons: Not open 24 Hours

I died and went to gym heaven!! This year I was looking around to join a gym. Went to all the gyms in my area and also by my job. I felt so relaxed and at ease when I went for my appt. At no time did James try to force a membership on me. (I practically had a rep show up at my job from the NY Sports club harrassing me to join!) But I was immediately enchanted by this facility! The place has 3 floors, several rooms equiped for your workout. Very modern equipment, with tvs, radios. Many choices of equipment and no wait! There are also rooms for classes and a room equiped for private training. The locker room always looks and smells clean. Inside you will find showers, a hot tub and sauna. There is also spa services available and a small health food lounge. And for parents that need daycare there is a nice room set up for childcare. Since I joined I look forward everyday to my workout. Going to the gym is no longer the dreading experience for me. I get lost in my daily peaceful workouts. Being that I'm so involved in my workout I dont really interact with the staff. The receptionists at the door always greet me, the attendant in locker room is always smiling and the other staff on premises is also friendly especially James! The price is affordable, pretty much what the other gyms were offering. As long as I am living in Astoria I plan to stay a faithful member to this fabulous place!

Pros: Appearance, Space, Equipment, Atmosphere

Cons: Couldn't afford a trainer at this time

I have worked out at all the gyms in Astoria before choosing Club Fitness NY and the only thing i can say is I get alot of value for my dollar! This gym has everything, best machines i have ever used, super great locker rooms with a jacuzzi, and a nice spa with tanning beds! IT IS SOO CLEAN and I can park my car in the back cause they have their own lot.. Check it out it is a city gym in our hood.

Pros: machines, space, parking

Cons: NONE!

I am absolutely amazed about Club fitness ny, it is such a luxury gym at such a great price! I love the classes and the spa. There are so many machines you never wait on line plus they are brand spankin new and advanced! Great experience and highly recommended.

Pros: amazing and so affordable

Hey you guys, just wanted to share my thoughts on club fitness ny. I have been living in NY for 5 years now and I always wanted to go to an upscale gym in my neighborhood but one didnt exist and I could not afford Equinox in the city. When Club fitness opened I couldnt believe I got everything and more than the gyms in the city! The strength training equipement is top of the line! They have such a great selection of machines and there are so many that I never have to wait on line. I work alot so I dont have much time and so in this gym I work out fast and then have time to enjoy the jacuzzi and sauna. I have to add that the gym is so beautiful and clean! I dont feel like i am in astoria when I am there. You have to check it out!

Pros: best equipement i have ever seen in any gym

Cons: not enough women trainers

I've been a member at Club Fitness for about a year now and I feel like family already!Everyone here is so helpful the machines are top of the line and theirs always a professional near by whenever i want to learn how to maximize my work out with new machines. Since i am a single mother with a very busy schedule having childcare at the gym leaves me no excuse to not burn off all My baby weight! Also there cafe has the best chocolate peanut butter protein shakes and there spa is so plush I often do everything from working out to getting my hair blown out its a all around 1stop spot!I love this gym and since i've been going for about a year now my body is back but better than ever--Everyone should try my gym its worth it and its a family business!Oh yeah dont forget to try out the massage parlor they give the best deep tissue massages

When my fiance and I first looked at this place, a young girl (Laura?) helped us, but when we went back to sign up, the guy kept nixing all of the perks that she had promised ($10 off/month for each person, 13th month free/no registration fee). My fiance finally had to be pretty forceful to get what we had been promised and I still double check the charge every month to make sure they're not ripping us off.
___
1. The Smith machine is unevenly calibrated. Now this can happen, but I've been reminding them weekly that it should be fixed...6 months later it's still not fixed. Now, I understand that it can take a while to get a technician, but they are a GYM. Given the number of people in the weight room, they should have the weight machines tuned up at least every 2 months.

2. They don't have room to work out with fitballs and the fitballs they do have are the cheapo kind--not durable/too squishy--so you don't get a good workout even if you do try to use them.

3. The facilities are beautiful, but I get the idea that they spend a lot on the facade, but not much on the equipment maintenance. It's great to look pretty, but if the equipment is sub-par....

4. They need more water fountains. You should have at least 1 water fountain/floor at a gym.
____
All in all, it is a gym and I get my workouts done, but if I had to do it again, I'd join the "bare bones" gym down the street. There aren't as many amenities (spa, sauna, beautiful entryway, beautiful dressing rooms) but the equipment is above par and I'd rather spend my money in an establishment I trust.

Pros: overall look, cleanliness

Cons: equipment, specifically weight machines

This gym is so beautifully decorated that it definitely does not have that typical gym feel to it. It always smells fresh and is very clean. The attention to detail with the design is fantastic! They have every machine I could imagine and then some. The staff is very helpful and while you're getting assistance, they never try to push personal training services on you (which I would love, but just can't afford). Another bonus is that it's never too crowded. You never have to wait in liine for a machine, but you don't get the feeling that there aren't enough members either. Cat, the spin teacher is awesome and very motivating. I've belonged to 4 gyms and dropped out of every one, but I'm in this one for the long haul.
If I could have a wish list for this gym, it would be more dance classes (there are currently 2) and a swimming pool, but I know that's a tall order. If it were open 24 hours it would be ideal, but their hours are very reasonable. Otherwise, this gym is perfect for me!

Pros: Decor, Staff, Equipment, Overall Mood and Feel

Cons: no pool, not 24 hours (but these are by no means deal breakers)
