New York Sports Clubs

I really like this gym. Out of all the others I’ve visited around Whitestone, this place is worth its price. The staff members that I’ve encountered are really nice and helpful. The first floor is very crowded in the mornings around 9:00 AM. I usually go to the classes around 9 in the morning and I gotta say, it’s pretty fun. The teachers are very informative to new students. Everyone is willing to help a newbie out if it’s your first time trying the class. The amenities are alright. They supply you with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. (But if you shower, I suggest you bring your own stuff and also a pair of flip flops!!). They supply towels and there’s also a sauna in the locker! The only bad thing is that ²⁄₄ showers work correctly. The other two don’t have working lights shining above the stall… but then again, no one really uses the showers.

first off this gym is not very inviting the girl Christina I believe her name is with the glasses at the front is very nasty and always had an attitude thinks who the hell she is while your working out there is a guy that’s on top of you with the vacuum all up on you while your trying to workout and leaves the extension cord all over the place without no caution sign which is a tripping hazard not only that the machines are always broken and outdated weights all over the floor I don’t how this place is still in business it wouldn’t be worth working out here for free

Not sure why this place has such terrible reviews. It has everything you need to get a good lift and other than between 5 – 7 PM, it doesn’t get busy to the point where it’ll hinder the pace of your workout. The annual fee stinks but it’s worth the monthly.
Yes, I’m sure there’s dust on the door frames if you look. But really? You’re going to shower when you get home right? I agree that a gym needs to maintain a level of cleanliness, but compared to other gyms (24 Hr Fitness in Little Neck) this place is clean. It’s not realistic to expect hospital level sanitation at the majority of gyms, especially a $ 20 a month one.
A towel you got has some gunk on it? Grab a new one. I have yet to experience this — but there’s literally a small mountain of towels on the way in.
Problems with billing and corporate seem to be the norm rather than the exception when it comes to gyms. I can’t really defend NYSC there, but my experience with management has been reasonable.

This gym is really small and since its small, the locker room seems unorganized. I have a passport membership card so I don’t really mind it.

I started training with Denise Agius several years ago. I give her the credit for what I know about lifting weights. She motivates me to get strong and be healthy. Besides for being an excellent trainer she is very well learned in nutrition. We have many conversations in our sessions about healthy eating. I am a male and I love training with her. I strongly recommends getting personal training from Denise at Whitestone Nysc.

I don’t usually like to write reviews. But I made an account just so I can write a review for this trash place that you call a gym.
This NYSC is probably the worst gym that I have ever, and I repeat, EVER went to EVER. First of all, the staff members are rude as fuck which pisses me off. I have been NYSC member since 2014 till 2015 of February.
The manager that I talked to, to cancel my membership, talked to me like I was an inferior human being. He kept scoffing and rolling his eyes every time I talked. He said everything was fine and told me to leave. Just now, I got a call from my bank saying that NYSC has opened up a case where I would have to pay 4 months of gym services… I haven’t been going to that trash gym since February. FOH I’m not paying that shit.
Overall, service is trash, gym is trash, everything is trash about this place. Don’t sign up or they’ll screw you up too!!!

Thr gym is small but not as small as the syosset one. It has three floors. The bottom level for weight lifting. The main level for cardio and some machine weights. The top floor has the studios, locker rooms, and a small area for free weights or stretching.
I usually go at 5:30am before work so the place is empty. But when I used to go after work the place is insanely packed.
At this gym no one ever re-​racks. The towels are thrown every where most of the time. And the ladies bathroom downstairs seems to be against flushing.
Otherwise I continue to come here because I’m used to it and it’s close to work.
There are some staff that are completely awesome
and others who don’t break a smile. The crowd is mixed. Usually 30s and over in the morning. The younger crowd in the later portion of the day.
Not the worse gym but by far not the best. You figure with what we spend a month the machines would all be working all the time. But I guess since they dropped their rates to 19.99 they started cutting corners.

Horrible first impression. Came in with my wife looking to sign up but before doing so, we requested to speak with someone regarding a tour and prices. The young lady attending us was short tempered and unfriendly. It took her 30seconds to tell us the price which was fine… but the tour in the same amount of time was unacceptable.
She asked if we had any questions to stop her and ask… one problem… she was moving so quickly that there was no chance to ask a question. When I asked her to slow down she literally stepped in slow motion like a complete smart ass… which was what I called her. We swiftly left and would never return with BS service like that.
This is how they treat a «slam dunk» sale??? I only wonder how they treat their members… stay away!

Terrible place. It’s really a shame because it’s in a convenient location with a large parking lot. The gym is always dirty. The guy that signed me up was miserable and rude. He didn’t even give me a tour and complained about other members. A gym should be a friendly ‘feel good’ place. This should start with the staff. The trainers walk around aimlessly and look bored. There’s nothing worse than watching a trainer looking at their phone instead of paying attention to their clients. I’m giving this place one star because at least most of the desk staff is friendly. In conclusion– spend your money elsewhere.

Not too sure about the personal trainers, but the staff seems friendly and the facility looks clean and everything works properly. Three floors of equipment, nice gym to goto and opens late.

This NYSC is pretty small. Treadmills are like never available unless you don’t work and can go at a time when the gym is empty. There are not a lot of class options and the options that exist are mostly later in the evening– especially the spin class options, they are mostly late in the evening. They do not care about the customers. Just a big corporation that only cares about your money. They messed up my account and charged me up to almost 1,000 dollars in fees I did not owe. It took me leaving the gym to get rid of the charges. HORRIBLE!
I’m giving them 1 star for 2 reasons
1. The trainers are ok
2. I can’t figure out how to give 0 stars

Way too crowded at times. Can’t even get a machine many times especially when they suddenly offer rates ¼ what you pay to new customers, who then come in and are paying less but taking up all the machines you paid for with your regular priced membership during peak hours! Plus there are signs all over the gym saying talking on cell phones is prohibited yet they don’t say anything to the people who still talk loud on their cells phones for long periods of time. Annoying!

If I was able to give zero stars I would ! Nysc basically makes it impossible to cancel they give you all sorts of excuse why they can’t do it on the spot, call back only the manager can. Need you in person Etc … I have a special needs child and was hoping I could go enough to warrant a membership things happen I was not able to moms understand this Bologna !! I have been member at many gyms over the years la fitness Lucille Roberts, equinox, yes they have policy but not scams ! Beware ! They don’t want you to cancel and give you all sorts of run around ! I should just called my credit card company btw they charged an additional 39.99 check those statements people !

These people are criminals. Beware of them. The lack of competency is disgusting. I would never recommend this place to anyone and no one should give them a credit card number ever. CRIMINALS!!! Next up Better Business Bureau!

It’s theft that my wife and I pay $ 70 per month for this DUMP. not to mention that most NYSC in long island have changed their monthly rate to $ 19.99. When I asked about that they told me to hold steady. That it’ll probably be coming to this one as well. Bathrooms are always GROSS. Cleaning crew has no problem literally vacuuming over your head as your doing a set. Gym equipment is put so close together that’s it’s a HAZARD. Especially in the basement. Cardio equipment could be broken for a month before it gets fixed. There’s been a TV that hasn’t worked in about 3 months. Absolutely terrible for the money you pay. If it was a mom and pop dump I’d expect this type of service. Not from a corp run place like this though.
ON THEIR NEW MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT FOR 19.99
so as NYSC tries to complete with the retro fitnesses of the world. They’ve decided to lower their fees, which is welcoming. But here’s where they turn the tables on you and try to gauge you. I paid by annual $ 39 fee on Jan 1^st as normal. BUT NOW since Im switching over to their 19.99 per month plan (WHERE IM GIVING THEM $ 200 upfront), they want to charge me a $ 50 annual fee. EVEN THOUGH I just PAID my annual. So there’s a $ 21 difference. That’s WHAT I should be paying. Not the $ 50.
A week ago there was no annual fee. Today that changed all of a sudden. You know what also changed? the fact that last week they said only 1 parent had to pay the extra $ per month for the babysitting. Today it’s both parents. Holy Smokes! Club Management (Paul) told me he can’t do anything it’s coming from corp. Be ready to feel like you’re being taken advantage of when you go in to sign up people.

This location is just disgusting, unlike the Rockefeller Center in Manhattan where I work out during the week. The ladies locker room is filthy, the floor needs to be replaced, the bin was overflowing with towers on a Sunday, etc. The machines in the circuit have missing pins to increase/​decrease weight. Rules are never enforced and members are always texting on machines when they should be there to work out. Machines and floor were replaced last year but machines are dusty and half of the time don’t work. I wouldn’t take a shower here if my life depended on it. Staff is very young and inexperienced and doesn’t enforce any rules. This health club is worth $ 10 monthly not $ 70.

I have a passport membership so I tried this gym bc it’s by my job but I quickly realized that I don’t like it. When you walk in grab a towel bc there are none in the locker room. You walk upstairs change and walk back down to the main level but then you realize the weights are in the basement smh. If you have a workout which consists of cardiovascular and weights, like I do, this layout is annoying. I only go here when I have plans in Queens for the evening.

I joined this gym in January 2014. I was really excited about starting because it was a new year and the gym seemed like a great place. As soon as you walk in there is a reception table to check-​in, they also provide you with towels if you desire. I should add that there have been a few times where they «ran out of towels» aka no one did laundry –_​– that can be annoying but it only happens like once in a blue!
Anyways I originally started going and just used the machines. Most are very new machines with touch screen tvs. Most of the time all the tvs are working but there are always hiccups. The machines are great but it gets a little crowded during peak times.
Due to this, I looked into the classes. Now, all I do is go to the classes lol!
–cardio jam Monday nights with Liz is amazing!
–Zumba Tuesday nights with crystal is also amazing! (you will be sore for like 2 days after)
Zumba on Thursdays with Patrice is also fun but don’t expect to sweat too much in the that class. It’s more of a hip rolling class.
Overall, the gym is fun because of the people. You barely see body builders who give you a look that makes you feel like you don’t belong. Everyone is very nice and everything is very clean. I really enjoy this gym because of it’s modesty. If you aren’t a size 2, you don’t have to worry because no one is judging you on how you look.
Give it a try! Also there’s a parking lot which is great when you’re running a few minutes late to Zumba and don’t have to search for parking!

The gym itself was average. I went to this gym for 6 months and it was usually crowded whenever I went.
I cancelled my membership 3 months ago because I believed that the price was too high for what they offered OR SO I THOUGHT! Its been 3 months and I’ve been charged with the membershop fee monthly. I cancelled my membership with Melissa, the manager for bolling, TWICE. Now, for about 2 weeks I can’t get in contact with her to «cancel» for the 3^rd time.
I’ve been extremely patient with them, but its running out. They’re uncooperative and sleazy.

I went to this gym because i was in the area and heard its not so bad. Well that was misleading. When i got my towel i opened it to sling it over m shoulder and… well…i posted a picture of it. Go see for yourself.
Every NYSC has the whole UXF training zone whice was placed very well in other gyms but this was not the location. All the machines are cramped together. I never was here before they installed the training zone but it mist be better than what it is now. Everyone is on top of each other and i like my space when im sweating and others are too.
I have to say people couldnt be any more rude. They literally leave weights all over the place. I actually tripped on a 45lbs weight plate. Who leaves that around?
Over all i had a bad experience with this location. The managers are so indifferent about these things when i mentioned it. Great management guys.
