I've been going to The New Body Project for the last 2 months, and I can't recommend it enough!…read moreI've always been self-conscious about how my body looks and how unathletic I am. Nundiah and the rest of the NBP team have created such a welcoming and safe space for women at any age, size, or activity level to learn how to take care of their bodies better. The workouts here are approachable and incredibly effective. I'd recommend NBP to anyone, especially women who are just beginning their fitness journey.

As everyone else says, Sal is truly the best!…read more One thing to add, if you're staying at one of the nearby hotels (Hilton, Even, Holiday Inn, Nu, Marriott, Sheraton, Hampton Inn, Tillary) and just visiting, single passes are available on Sal's website. While I'm a regular at Sal's small group classes, if I was traveling and looking to keep up my workouts, I'd be psyched to find a place like this. It's a great workout, you're in and out in less than an hour, ready to take on your day (which will seem easy compared to what you just went through).

After months, I returned for a core class and it was a complete different energy with this instructor, Sal. The morning core class with Sal is a killer! Albeit I have zero core strength and struggled through the whole 30 minutes, Sal was very motivating and did not make me feel embarrassed for not being at my best. He was encouraging and it made me push myself more than I usually would have. I highly recommend it and I hope to return to continue strengthening myself! (:

Really solid class. I often do boot camps in manhattan such as Barry's, Tone House, Trooper but…read moresince moving to Fort Greene, it's been tougher to find solid ones. I'd say this is probably the best in the area that I've found so far. The instructors are usually high energy and clear with their instructions. The class is broken into stations with battle ropes, trx bands, kettle bells, etc.. so you get a great all around workout and definitely a good sweat.

I LOVE this OT. I've actually never been to any other location, so I don't have much to compare it…read moreto, but when I first when in here I new I could see myself becoming a member (so I did). I first came in because of an offer for a first class free. My rep showed me how everything worked, including the heartbeat monitor on the arm band, which they give you for free on your first visit. An instructor walked me around the studio explaining the class format and made sure I was comfortable with water and a towel. When class started he periodically checked in with me but was not overbearing. I loved how while everyone worked out individually, seeing everyone's stats on the screen did make it feel like a team effort. I really appreciated learning about the different heart rate "zones" and later did research on this when I got home. My sales rep explained the pricing tiers yet was not pushy which I appreciated and I signed up within the week. The app made it very easy to book, see stats, etc. The club has fun challenges each month and really does have a sense of community. It was always clean and you can tell instructors here really care about the members. I only quit because I ended up moving to another neighborhood but this gym truly did change my physique while I was a member, making me stronger and noticeably had an impact on my cardio endurance. I'd recommend this gym to anyone.

The classes keep me on track, and I'm seeing real results. I never, ever thought I'd be someone who enjoys jogging on a treadmill, but now I actually look forward to it. Coach Maddy brings great energy and creative themed classes. I love Coach Frankie's music picks--they make early morning workouts go by faster. And Coach Nai has a great way of offering helpful tips without making anything feel awkward. Luke is always so welcoming at the front desk. This location stands out for its thoughtful amenities: they offer gym and shower towels and a full locker room--something you don't always find at other storefront studios. OTF Park Slope is also a fun way to meet more people in the neighborhood, and the Instagram shout-outs add a nice touch of motivation. I hope corporate OTF will upgrade the app and the fitness band to more modern tech - I'd love AI analysis of my stats. I recommend Orangetheory Park Slope to anyone looking for a fresh, encouraging way to get into fitness.

For adults, the locker room, steam and sauna, cardio room, etc. are all very clean and everything is in good working order. I haven't tried the cardio or weight classes, but I know from friends there are some great ones, too. The front desk team is busy - but always very friendly (especially to kids :)). The membership is very affordable and provides great value. Thank you Bed-Stuy Y!!

Even though you'd think you'd be tired, you actually wind up having more energy for your day at work. Although the exercises can be difficult, Joanna makes sure that you are (i) doing them correctly with good form so you don't hurt yourself, and (ii) that you are working at a level comfortable for yourself. Thus, even though it's a boot camp and there are many good people that attend, you don't feel left out because Joanna will custom tailor the workout to your level. That being said, I feel like I've come a long way and can now do many of the more difficult exercises despite my asthma. I highly recommend Bodiesynergy! You won't regret it!

The first session was simply a conversation with the trainer solely for the purposes of learning what was important to me so they could tailor not just the workouts, but also ways to help me feel inspired as a whole person. That made me feel so special. The trainers were sure to respect and be mindful of what could seemingly be small details but were important me. That for me is priceless! The physical space itself is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It was designed with so much intentionality that it made the workout sessions even more enjoyable. The small group sessions are lovely. They aren't overstimulating and that was key for me. Every workout session left me feeling inspired, encouraged and renewed not just physically but mentally & emotionally. Lastly, Dani, the owner and founder, is an absolute PLEASURE to do business with and her passion for mind and body fitness is evident. She wants every client to get what they need to feel empowered. She makes herself accessible and easy to communicate with either by phone, email or text. As a nurse leader, I am deeply appreciative of what she has created at Very Personal Training and will continue to do support her business not only with my own personal training but also with group training events that I will host for my clinical team and friends.

There are also spiky plants in the sand as well that hurt if you step on them so at least wear slippers.

Tons of people windsurfing there which was a pretty cool thing to watch, them being raised up into the air and falling into the water.

I was seriously impressed with the cleanliness of the entrance, pool, and locker rooms (I'm from Brooklyn so I remember what the pool used to look like...that's another story). All personal items must be locked up. The rules by the Parks Department seems a bit archaic: The only items you can take to the pool area are a towel and flip flops(literally). Books and reading material are permitted. You must provide and use your own padlock. They suggest a combination lock. No Electronic equipment, including cell phones. Only white t-shirts are permitted in the water. The staff was professional and courteous. Instructors were eager to answer any questions we had, however I was disappointed because my son arrived for advanced swimming lessons and the children there were clearly not ready for advance swim lessons. The instructor said she had to give instructions based on the skill set of the group and that was basic 101. My son was bored and we gave up our coveted lottery spot to one of several children on the waiting list. I'm seriously unhappy with the instructions, but I blame that on the parents not the swim instructors. However the facility was impressive and squeaky clean.

Bicycle Habitat

I had a very poor experience here…read more I brought in my bike for a front shifting issue and was charged for derailleur adjustment twice, but the real issue was not identified. Multiple mechanics suggested I might not know how to shift properly, but the actual problem turned out to be a bent chainring. That was only discovered after I went back multiple times and pushed for them to keep looking. It did not seem like the bike had been properly test ridden before I was told the issue was rider error. Communication was also difficult, and the overall attitude I experienced from staff felt passive aggressive rather than helpful. I was largely left on my own trying to sort out what was going on. They also replaced the wrong bolt on my saddle. When I asked about replacing the correct bolts, I was told they did not have the proper ones, and the issue was not properly resolved. After multiple visits, repeated charges, poor communication, and the real problem being missed until I pushed for further inspection, I would not return.

I went to Bicycle Habitat twice, which really says more about me than them. I thought maybe the…read morefirst visit was a fluke. Turns out... it's a business model. The staff acts like they're curating art at a gallery instead of fixing brakes. I asked about a repair and got a response like I interrupted a TED Talk on bicycle culture. Relax--it's a chain and two wheels. And the prices? I thought they were quoting me for a full bike rebuild, a documentary, and emotional support. Labor costs so high I expected my bike to come back with better credit than me. Same attitude both times--like I needed them more than they needed customers. It's a bike shop, not a fashion week afterparty. Nobody needs this level of arrogance over a tune-up. Plenty of other shops in NYC that will fix your bike and treat you like a human being. Start there.
