I just canceled my membership after being there for about two years. Almost all of the people who work there are the best. They are so nice and friendly and that is what kept me going. I typically get there close to opening time and sometimes (typically on weekends and typically one specific worker), no one will be there to open at 7am so there’s a group of us waiting for up to an hour outside (happened today again). Otherwise it’s a good place with good equipment and a good sauna.
I’ve had an awesome experience at this gym! I did personal training to help me get active again and my trainer also helped me with my nutrition. I was later interested in kickboxing and my trainer was more than happy to accommodate/ update my workout program. I’ve lost weight and my stamina has improved significantly. I definitely recommend this gym to anyone! You won’t be disappointed 🙂
This is my favorite BSC in Boston because the staff is so friendly and smiling. It's not a very busy salon. But there is a lot missing in the hall. You can be a little more careful about cleaning. It has old sports equipment and is missing a lot of equipment. Still, I love this place and the people who come here. Thank you for the service.
I regret to express my profound disappointment with the state of the gym's facilities and services. It is disheartening to note the myriad shortcomings that have accumulated, presenting an unfavorable image of the establishment. The removal of a substantial portion of strength equipment without replacement speaks volumes about the disregard for the varied needs of patrons. This sentiment is further exacerbated by the conspicuous absence of functional cable machines, rendering diverse workout routines nearly impossible. The perilous state of the remaining equipment cannot be ignored. The antiquated machines, a significant portion of which appear unsafe for use, jeopardize the well-being of gym-goers. The disrepair of free weights, marred by rust, symbolizes a lack of dedication to even the most basic upkeep. Such negligence is further mirrored in the lack of air conditioning on the basement level, making exercise in that space an uncomfortable ordeal. Hygiene, a cornerstone of any fitness environment, has been woefully disregarded. The absence of equipment wipes paired with the repeated failure of patrons to sanitize equipment paints an unsanitary and uninviting picture. The presence of broken lockers within the locker rooms casts a shadow over the facility's commitment to maintaining functional amenities. The leaks during rainy weather not only reveal infrastructural weaknesses but also raise concerns about mold growth, compromising the well-being of those who use the facilities. Furthermore, the restrictive operating hours on weekends and the outright refusal to accept cash payments reflect a disconnect from the preferences and convenience of the clientele. The removal of the arc trainers, a valuable piece of cardio equipment, underscores a lack of understanding of the diverse workout needs of members. The prevalence of unresolved defects in the cardio equipment and the absence of quality control measures cast doubt on the sincerity of management's commitment to the safety and satisfaction of members. In light of these myriad grievances, I am left contemplating the necessity of involving a safety inspector to assess the integrity of the equipment and the overall environment. The actions—or lack thereof—taken by the company to address these concerns are emblematic of a wider failure to uphold the standards and expectations one would reasonably hold for a reputable gym. In conclusion, the overall experience at the gym falls far short of expectations, fostering an environment of disappointment and frustration among patrons. It is my sincere hope that these issues will be acknowledged and rectified, allowing the establishment to regain its credibility and provide a safe and satisfactory fitness environment for all its members. Update: why did you guys disable the AC upstairs in the cardio area!?! This is a dangerous practice. The condensation flowing down the windows should be enough evidence that the airflow up here is not sufficient
One of the top BSC, sorry now NYSC locations I’ve ever been in the last 8 years in the Boston area. Plenty of weights, gym equipment and lots of space that all other clubs seem to be missing. And also clean and well kept. At last safety lockers that cannot be broken in with a single kick, clean showers with toiletries (hear that Boylston?). Helpful and friendly people at the front desk and cool people working out over all. Does it have negatives? Yes, some showers need plumbing and also a bit labyrinthine but for the pleasure of being able to workout and breath in a clean space it’s worth paying a visit. Update: October 2024. Unfortunately I have to drop my rating to 2 stars as the condition of the gym deteriorated very much in the past few months. The locker rooms are dirty, many doors are missing (broken in?), several showers are broken, others are full of trash and underwear left behind. There are no hairdryers and nobody cared to replace them (supposedly they are getting stolen). The gym area is no better. The A/C in the top floor is broken, on a warm day like today it is impossible to use the treadmills, the air is so stuffy. The water cooler near the weight area has been broken for months. I am so disappointed to see my favorite gym location in such bad shape. The staff is always nice and friendly but the management should step up to the plate and take action very soon.
I was really looking for a gym to go to for a day. I was looking to just pay a day pass and have a nice workout. I tried going to two other places and they were hard to find and/or required a weird subscription program. However at New York sports club I walked in and paid a very reasonable price and got exactly what I wanted. The costumer service was also great from the lady in the front desk. I will be back!
I joined this gym three months ago. During this time, I have been trying to persuade my colleagues and friends to workout with me, two of them came to see and felt too crowded here and didn't want to join, only one friend came with me about three times, and she paid $15 for each visit. Yesterday my girlfriend went with me and wanted to see how I workout, a woman came to warm me that if I kept bringing new people in and showing them my workout routine, she would cancel my membership. I got shocked. Did I do anything wrong??? I just tried to persuade my friends to work out here. I feel sorry for the woman who claimed I bring people and train them here. I have a very decent job which is 1 minutes walk from the gym, and I don't need to make my living by training my friends here. I feel very disappointed! I used to go Gymit, which was half price of here, and able to bring a free guest EVERY Friday and Saturday. If not because of the location close to my workplace, I would never workout here again.
This place is great! The classes are awesome, and the staff is super friendly! I love all the trainers but have been working with Ashleigh and Luis! They are super invested in my goals, and I feel truly appreciated! The management is also great, Jess is super helpful and is always available to answer my questions! Bryan, the fitness manager is also great, as he was able to answer all of my questions regarding personal training! Great place to workout 10/10 recommend!
