Lucille Roberts – Yonkers

I love this gym very much. I am not someone who can exercise on a treadmill. So i love the zumba and group classes here. You wouldn’t know that you are exercising. Its just like partying.
i also love the fact that its only for Women.
i had to discontinue once i found that i am pregnant. Not because i cannot do it but would be doing more of prenatal yoga.
I would definitely come back here to loose my baby fat after the delivery.

I have been coming here for a couple of months but I’m noticing some discrimination. Not shocked as an Arab American Muslim who wears a scarf on her head I have had my share of run ins with bigotry. The baby sitter is amazing and friendly. Love her. But the front desk and some of the trainers are a thumbs down. If I continue to feel uncomfortable I will cancel my membership. There are other gyms.

Be warned! there is no way out of their membership. Cancellation is a pain. I’ve never had such a horrible experience canceling any membership.
I’ve been a member for the past one year. Now that I’m moving to a different city I called them to cancel. They told me they only was I can cancel is via website. I send my information for cancellation through their online form and waited for 2 weeks. No confirmation email was sent that they’ve received my info and are processing it. I call back the gym again. This time they decide to give me 2 direct email address of the company so I can send them a request to cancel my membership. I send them an email immediately. My email from one of the address was immediately returned as undeliverable for unknown reasons. Maybe their inbox was full since they don’t seem to respond to to any of the emails. It’s been another week and I’m still waiting for a confirmation email let alone a response of any other kind.
Oh did I mention the phone number on the website is a waste of time too! There is a recording that tells you to go to the website for any information. No operator option!
Also, for the past 2 days I’ve been trying to send them an email through their website and every time I hit send there is an error on the website. I’ve tried using different computers and web browsers in case there was a problem on my end. But turns out it’s their website which even won’t let me submit a request now.
I just called the gym again, now they tell me I have to send the company a letter via mail and request my cancellation!!! Are they still living in the 90s? Seriously. Never again. This company is a scam and want to drive you crazy enough in the cancellation process so you can give up and they can keep charging your card monthly!
SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSEL AND JOIN ANOTHER GYM!

This gym is the worst. It should really be closed down. All the machines are so outdated and the place is just way too small. I have been a resident of yonkers since 1998 and this gym hasn’t changed one bit. I would not waste one single penny on this dump. They should really consider renovating and even expanding.

On the plus– a lot of parking, ample space in locker room.
On the negative: Tiny, outdated gym. Tired equipment (think old school yellow machines with pink writing and instructional drawings of women in leotards depicting how to execute said exercise), VERY limited cardio all crammed into tight quarters, staff I interacted with seemed lacking in knowledge, nobody offered a tour upon submitting trial pass and they didn’t even have disinfecting spray/​towels to wipe your machines down after, which I find a little gross. Also, while running, I had to blast my headphones up to 9000 to drown out the chipmunks version of Ke$ha blasted at apocalypse level for the aerobics class or whatever that takes place in the immediate center of the gym, probably 10 feet from where you are trying to run. Now– when I exercise, I push myself, and prefer as stable a surrounding environment as possible. Watching 20+ women bang around in front of me to horrible pop music squared in horror by the added fun of chipmunk speed playback, I wanted to just stop my legs and allow the treadmill to eject me into the wall behind me.
In case that wasn’t fun enough, I could avert my gaze to the adjacent television, gloriously displaying «Doodle-​bops». I know there’s a national push for children to be healthy, but I don’t think I saw one on the treadmill next to me so why should I have to be subjected to that?
I hear you have to sign up for cardio machines and that they have a time limit of 30 mins. Since the staff couldn’t dane to give me a tour or any info, I bypassed all of that nonsense.
Sign up fees etc crazy for this atmosphere. No way.

I was so excited to join this gym after I took a trial class one night.
Boy did I make a mistake!
The classes were either a hit or miss. They would be good one night and awful the next.
There are hardly any machines and when you finally do get a chance to get on one, someone walks over and say they reserved it. GREAT! Time to get on the waiting list!
The gym itself is small, very very crowded during night classes, and has an AWFUL SMELL! I often would walk in to walk back out because of the awful smell in there. The gym itself is in need of a major upgrade, a good scrub down, and a cleaner bathroom.
Needless to say I paid the cancellation fee and have never looked back!

three words: save your money.
this gym sucks. i don’t know what i was thinking when i joined it. first off there are only like 6 ellipticals, 6 treadmills, 4 bikes, etc. The equipment is pathetic and since there is so little you are only allowed 30 mins on each machine. get this. there is a wait list if you come at a busy hour… seriously?
that’s exactly what i need. i just got my lazy ass out of my house to go to the gym and now i have to wait for a damn machine!!!
the classes are hit or miss. they have mostly been a huge miss for me. one instructor didn’t realize it was a kickboxing class and thought she was teaching yoga. so she basically she said tough shit im teaching my yoga because that’s what i want… okay %#@^&
then i went to a zumba class. another instructor FAIL!
let me save you the details and tell you to find a better gym.
