Quick Fitness

This was a great gym while it was open, but closing with no notice or refunds (as others have described) is inexcusable.
I encourage everyone who was a member to dispute their most recent charge with their credit card company (as I just did), as the services paid for were not provided.

Shocked! I came to work out at my gym and they shut down without notice. It’s upsetting because I really loved this place… But I could go on and rant and rave about how disappointed I am but it’s a waste of my energy.
I saw a couple a flyers for this other gym close by called BROOKLYN ATHLETIC CLUB. I decided to walk down to 8 berry st and check these guys out and I am glad I did.
They are priced at the same price as Quick Fit, but they offer so much more and the facility and staff were nothing but warm and welcoming!
They let me try out the place which gave me the opportunity to try out the endless pools, the small training groups, the saunas, their gym, and all of their yoga, spin, and Pilates classes.
I also noticed a lot of other quick fitness members working out here too. It’s worth a try. They’ll even give you a tour!
5 stars… The people, the location, the programming… all spectacular and exceeded my expectations.
I suppose having one door shut was just the perfect opportunity for me to find the right door to open. :)

They just closed without any notice on 9÷24÷15. I was there the day before for a wonderful yoga class and the next morning, doors shut. SO SHADY! This was once a great gym but sadly it has turned into the stereotypical gym-​stealing-​money-​from-​members scenario. Both my husband and I have paid for a year membership and have months left on our contract that are now completely useless. I am so disappointed with out the management is handling all this. It is very sad considering the staff was so talented there with the classes they did.

Unbelievably shady the way the gym’s closing was handled. I thought something seemed weird the last time I was there — the vending machines were gone. Figured they were just sprucing up. Thankful it happened near the end of the month, and not a few days after being charged again. Trying my luck with the credit card company to see if I’ll get some or all of the last month back. Just ridiculous. Like some others here, I’m trying out Chalk for a month or two, which is a few minutes down the street. Similar low-​key vibe, comparably priced, slightly nicer space, much nicer bathrooms, and you get a free t-​shirt.

I heard what happened at Quick Fitness this week from friends and cannot believe the nerve of management to close down the gym with absolutely no-​notice.
I joined Chalk gyms 3 years ago when the original manager of QF first opened Chalk and could not be happier with the gym’s space, the classes and the staff.
Anyone looking for what QF used to be should come along. They offer two-​free days to anyone interested!

CLOSED. Stopped by this morning (September 24, 2015) to find all of the equipment being moved out. The guy at the front desk says it’s permanently closed and that it had something to do with insurance. That just SUCKS. I’ve been a member since nearly when they opened. So disappointing. It was a really good run. Especially frustrating that there has been no communication with members. Check your bank statements to see if you continue to be charged.

Unfortunately, I found out the hard way that Quick Fitness has abruptly closed its doors for business! As of today and without any fair warning! As I approached the bolted down garage doors just now, I honestly thought that some sort of sick albeit depressingly boring practical joke was being played on me. I even tried calling its number only to find that it was busy — pretty much forever. Definitely sucks as I’m not a gym person and I liked this one — they could have at least had the common decency to let its customers know beforehand. Now I guess I’ll just have to settle for happy hour!

Gym closed on September 24, 2015 with no prior notice to clients. Not only is it unfortunate that they’ve closed but their handling of the situation is unacceptable. Will there be reimbursements for unused months?

Although I don’t think the high price ($ 85/​month) was ever justified, I have to admit that aside from a few flaws, this gym was very good. I say «was» because it’s now closed.
Located in a discrete industrial location near McCarren Pool, Quick Fitness was a somewhat small boutique gym but it was full of impressive equipment (and that includes rare machines, such as a treadwall). One thing that I’ll always remember is how this gym was never, ever packed. Even during peak hours, I rarely had to wait for a machine. Additionally, QF was a no-​contract gym with zero fees so I simply paid for each month. If I knew I wasn’t going to be able to go to the gym very often for a month, I would just buy a week here and there. This alone made QF a fantastic deal because you can’t do this with many other gyms.
For the price, I wish they would have improved the locker rooms. They were TINY, and the steam room was oddly located in a separate part of the gym. That never made any sense to me.
I have to give a shout-​out to Dennis, who was an incredible trainer. I believe he’s now at Chalk, and that’s most likely where I’ll be going from now on.
I’m very disappointed with management’s handling of the gym’s closure. There weren’t any email/​website notifications, nor posters on the walls. This is absolutely unacceptable, and I do hope we are reimbursed for leftover days.

Love this gym. Everything about it. Most of the equipment you see here you don’t see at most gyms. Stretching room, boxing area, spin class room, sauna & shower in the same facility. Clean. No creeps lol. Just love. My only gripe about this place is they don’t have a certain ab bench I love that’s at my other gym, but they have something very similar.
First timers are free via Unilocal or if you just tell them it’s your first time.
Super nice workers. For everything available it’s super affordable per month. $ 85 I believe. And no contract. Which again I love (I can’t be tied down I needs my freedom) I… think I’ve been converted to a quick fitness customer.

Very good value for the $. If you’re used to big boxes, you’ll feel a little claustrophobic in this club, as well as all gyms in BK. BUT, these guys are great. Always clean, good amount of cardio equipment, and all the strength training stuff you could want. Just enough GroupX to keep me going. Would give it 5 stars if they had a better GX sched.

Quick fitness is the best! Friendly staff, clean and modern machines, and great class offering!

This gym is great! I paid for a week pass and I used it everyday. It doesn’t get too crowded and they have everything I need plus more!

Friendly staff, great classes, nice machines. I also love that there is no sign-​up fee, I just do the month-​to-​month.
I go in the mornings around 7 when it’s less crowded, but also found it to be OK in the late evenings. The yoga class on Wednesday mornings is great because it’s definitely more of a workout (flow) than the one on Saturdays (which is also nice but more relaxing.)
Looking forward to trying the «dance your butt off» class!

Incredible. They have the most idiosyncratic equipment, including a ladder machine and a revolving rock wall. The layout is well thought out, the music isn’t in your face and there are plenty of machines.
Quick fitness, quick sell

Love this gym. It’s clean Never packed and the staff is amazing !! Alittle expensive but good selection of classes which are available to you with your membership. Steam Room is a nice added bonus, there isn’t a gym around that offers as much as Quick Fitness does !!

I would really give this place 4.5 stars if I could. I really love this gym with a few small exceptions.
This place is clean, plenty of equipment and never really crowded. I like the different spaces they have for cardio, free weights, machines and circuit training. The biggest issue I have is that they don’t have a true squat rack, only a Smith machine.
It’s also a little expensive for me, but when you’re poor everything is expensive. Anyway I totally recommend this place.

So I’ve been going here since about May, and I think it’s time I drop a line.
What are probably thing main things you want in a gym?
Cleanliness, good selection of equipment (bonus if it is top of the line), and not having to wait to get to your machines.
Well, I do have the benefit of being able to go whenever I want (which is typically between 10 am — 2 pm most of the time) so that’s a plus if you can head out at that time. But I’ve gone during peak hours and it isn’t too bad.
So basically, it has it all. The only thing I’d somewhat complain about is the price, but at least there are no contracts and you can pay for a week if you like. Plus honestly, price is probably what keeps the traffic stable so I actually don’t mind the trade off.
I haven’t even done a class yet, and they look pretty awesome. I’ll get on that soon.
So basically, this is the best gym I’ve been to in my life and I’ve been to about 5 – 6. Friendly staff, good accommodations (super clean bathrooms, showers, steam room. Hygiene as a priority is a religion here). Won’t be considering anywhere else until I move pretty far away.

I’ve been a member for over a year now and I’ve been very pleased with the facilities.
I’m a morning person and I usually hit the gym between 6 – 7 a. m, sometimes even a bit earlier since the gym opens at 5 during the week. The gym is always clean, well lit, and the machines are always oiled in working condition.
Usually upon my arrival, I’m greeted by the manager Steve, who is a permanent morning fixture there. He is constantly busy, running around making sure the place looks pristine. His enthusiasm is contagious and its helpful for those mornings that start off by smothering a pillow on my face over the sound of my blaring phone alarm politely telling me to get my lazy ass up.
If your going to pick a gym, go to a different one. Why? Because this one is perfect the way it is and if people find out then it’ll get more popular and I’ll hate you.

I’ve belonged to a million gyms. This might be my favorite.
It’s not overly fancy. Not a scene.
Lots of equipment that is all new or like new.
Reasonably priced. No contracts.
Never too crowded.
Clean and well maintained.
And Steve at the front desk somehow remembers every single person’s name when they walk in the door. Friendliest dude ever. Always buzzing around making sure everything is running smoothly.
I haven’t taken classes but it seems like they’ve got a good mix. Yoga, spinning etc.
I live nearby so don’t really use the locker room or showers but they’re nice enough if a bit small.
All in all a great place.
