    I LOVE this gym. Yes it smells like crap and looks like it's about to come tumbling down you, but it's my favorite place to work out. I've had membership @ Bally's before. Sure the Bally's facility is huge, nice and of course, NEW, but everyone working out there is just showing off. You can't even get a damn machine cause the douche bag trying to look like Paul D from the Jersey Shore is too busy on the treadmill staring at some chick's ass. And let's not talk about the girls who sit on the weight machines texting away while people who ACTUALLY want to work out have to wait for her skinny asses to get up. Point is, although the Y isn't a fancy place to work out at, these are ppl that are dedicated to their fitness. For the most part, all the members are friendly. Of course there are those 1 or 2 snobby women who think highly of themselves, but those women are everywhere. I love the Y and I wouldn't join any other gym around.

    We love this gym ! Is perfect for a family .. We really enjoy this Clases ..

    See all

    Is the pool salt water?

    No. But I wish. Lots of chlorine takes about two showers before it goes away

    After just 4 days of working out here, I can honestly say the $160 membership is absolutely worth…read moreit. Before coming in, I read a review claiming there was only one restroom available. That's completely false. There are several restrooms and I've never had to wait. The overall aesthetic of this place is top tier. The equipment is high quality, well maintained, and there's plenty of space to train. The gym is split into two sides and now they even have MAD Pilates, which is a great addition. So far, I haven't had to wait for equipment once. Even when it's busy, I've still been able to get a full workout in without issues. That's a huge difference compared to the gym up the street (Chuze), where you'll often see groups of people camping on the same machine. On weekends I come right when the doors open and it's about as empty as it gets. Perfect way to start the day. One warning though: don't try the peanut butter and jelly shake... unless you want to get hooked. It's that good. The turkey wrap is also a solid option. The staff has been amazing and welcoming since day one. Overall experience so far: 10/10. Highly recommended

    I really enjoy this gym and appreciate the space and equipment, but I wanted to share some…read morefeedback. The heater being on full blast in the mornings makes it really uncomfortable to work out. The fans are not on, so there's no relief when the heat is running. I mean really how cold can it get in SoCal where the heater needs to be on full blast Also, it would really help if staff wore something identifiable, like a uniform shirt. There have been a few times I wanted to purchase a protein shake, but I couldn't tell who worked there or who to ask for help. Lastly, there have been times when there were no wipes available to clean the machines. Overall, still a great gym, just a few small improvements that would make a big difference!

    So when I went to check out the camp which I found by a add on Instagram, I was pulled in by it…read moresaying free 6 week challenge, thinking they were just Abington free classes or something to get you to join the gym , which I was looking to do. It turns out it's far from free and far from what I expected or anticipated. The last 6 weeks of doing the hard body challenge have been, well nothing like I expected. When I went to the first meeting seeing all the things we had to do, like checking in for every visit, leaving reviews, and oh my goodness, the meal plan they give out. I was so discouraged and overwhelmed but I though what the heck I'll do my best and at least I'll be eating better and being active. Long story short, I couldn't believe the results I got in only the first 3 weeks! I had already met the 5% body fat loss goal!! The book and their motto is FTDI, and honestly if you do, I don't know how you wouldn't be able to meet your goal and more. This challenge is not for the weak I will tell you that. Meal prepping was very important. Every night i made my meals for the next day, got up at 6 am and went to do my "homework" weight lifting before my 7 am work out class. The class are tough, but they are fun and can be modified for every and any level your at. If your not leaving their a sweaty mess, then did you even go? Lol I took their AM pill in the morning before class to help with energy and burn fat, then have my breakfast after class, two hours later my protein shake which I make with my Ice coffee , then two hours later I have my lunch followed by two hours later protein shake, and again two hours later dinner, then 2 PM pills before bed to help with sleep and burn fat. And of course lots of water in between mixed with my BCAA watermelon flavor. I will tell you, if you do not have friends and family who support and help you threw this, it will be very hard to eat healthy and constantly the whole time. But don't give up, everyday is a new day to try and do better and be stronger. I 100% recommend doing the 6 week challenge, and I look forward to continuing working out at the camp.

    SO MANY TREADMILLS ARE BROKEN. They have literally had to start hand writing "Out of order" signs…read morebecause they ran out of official ones. If you ARE lucky enough to get a working treadmill, you have a 50/50 chance of walking on one that has incorrect speed/incline calibration. Your machine will say 4.0mph but it's actually 4.5-5.0mph. Yesterday after work, at least 25% of the treadmills were unusable, and the one I did manage to get wasn't calibrated correctly, but I wasn't going to complain since the rest were full. This isn't a new issue. I've been going to this gym for months and there are always several machines out of order. Everything else about this gym is fine. Front desk - they're nice enough and I haven't noticed any issues, but I've also never needed to seek out their help. Good playlist.

    All it takes is one crackhead in the locker room to ruin my mood, I know it's not the gyms fault…read morebut this lady had a speaker playing gangster rap music in the shower, had a bunch of trash and bags everywhere, I couldn't use any of the mirrors because she was hogging them up with her belongings so I went to the sink instead to fix my hair then she comes over there and starts drying her underwear with the hand dryer :( I was so appalled I did not feel comfortable leaving anything in the lockers I grabbed my stuff and left angrily and with a headache didn't even get to work out, please at least have standards, please regulate behavior like this, don't let ppl get too comfortable at the expense of others
