Been coming to this gym a little over two years since I moved into the area and I think it's a…read moresolid commercial gym for a base of ~$34/mon! They have lots of cardio equipment and weight lifting machines and weights on 2 separate floors. They also have a small turf with sleds and a rope. Lots of TRX as well. There are multiple rooms for workout classes and boxing although I haven't taken those so I can't speak too much on it. They have some fun activities going on sometimes, like a live dj on some occasions. Some of the machines can be pretty run down and the plates are kind of worn but I've seen them be pretty diligent about repairs and replacements even if it takes a while. I don't take part in the personal training but it does seem more like a social hour than any formal training but I'm also not the client so I'm sure that's just personal preference! Overall not a bad spot for a work out if it's a close gym! They do also have a $15 day pass.

I had to move to the basic membership because I was sick and tiered of not being treated with decency, and I was paying full price for all the benifits while getting talked down to, I was doing their 6 week program and on the last week my trainer ignored me for 7 days straight. I would never recommend this establishment to anyone ever 0/10.

When asking about any issue, you're told to speak to management. Where are they? Not in their office or helping their staff. They're in the gym working out with headphones in. Avoiding work, avoiding staff requests, avoiding customer relations. And if you do manage to get the chance of an interaction, they are rude & dismissive. This facility could be nice, but it's being run into the dirt. You're better off looking elsewhere.

That's because membership is free for those with CDPHP Medicare plans. It's an awesome arrangement for the elderly who seem to enjoy working out early in the morning. When I arrive, I often pass elderly couples in their 70s or 80s as they're leaving the gym. Most appear to be in remarkable shape. I joined several months ago. The staff at the front desk was so helpful in getting me registered. So far, I've enjoyed the classes. The instructors are great. Some, especially Zumba, are very well attended. I haven't used the swimming pool yet though it looks inviting. I have used the track upstairs. There's a runners' etiquette policy posted to the wall which unfortunately some members and employees don't adhere to.. They're advised to walk or run in single file. Sometimes, they come with friends and walk side-by-side. It's annoying to have to dodge them, but I manage to out run them. Overall, the facilities are nice and so are the people who use them.

Breakthru boxing is such a blessing! I've been to many different group fitness classes and used to…read moreregularly attend commercial boxing gyms in Boston, but nothing compares to the care and passion that Coach Curtis has. His lessons are deliberate and intentional, designed to build strong foundational skills and understanding. Not only do you get a great workout, but you actually build knowdledge of the sport and some fundamentals of exercise science. Beyond just fitness guidance, he is a positive presence in the lives of his students. Curtis is always holding us accountable throughout the week and encouraging us to be our best selves. The community that he has built is truly special. Highly recommend this gym to anyone who is willing to be challenged and can appreciate a good workout.

Coach Curtis is great with all levels -- from very beginner to expert. His classes seamlessly combine fitness science with foundational skills so that you not only get a great workout but you learn how to box/kickbox properly. If you're looking for a community, this gym has it; if you're looking to learn how to defend yourself, this gym has it; if you're looking to get a really great workout, this gym has that too. Curtis' pedagogy sets you up for success, and if you put the effort in you will get your return tenfold.

I tried to buy the 28 day fit package and rt away in the fine print it says you must cancel with a…read more28 day notice. So I attempted to give my notice right away they said " no that's not how it works. This is a business " so basically you have to pay for another 28 days. Also don't try and buy this as a gift for a friend or family member. They claim they need to person who is receiving the gift needs to provide all of their credit card info - basically so they will be locked into a billing cycle. They were claiming is was for the waiver reasons- when I said he will sign the waivers but is not gonna give you his credit card info - I reiterated this is a one time gift for the 28 day program you advertise- so as far as fitness - I can't judge. As far as business- read the fine print and be ready to pay. Also they should state can't be bought as a gift. Must be purchased by participant. Corey you explained it much better here than on the phone. My only question is about the 28 day advance requirement for cancellation. You said within 21 days to cancel but if you don't you're locked in automatically to the next 28 days correct?

The indoor pool is on the small side, but it's also (as far as I know) the only indoor pool that doesn't require an apartment lease or hotel room booking within the city of Albany, which makes it the biggest indoor pool in town. The gym facilities also look pretty extensive, but I haven't actually come for the gym yet -- I'm in it for the swimming. The staff I've interacted with have been universally nice and helpful. My biggest complaint would be that the indoor pool closes so early, I assume for staffing reasons. Also, keep in mind that they require you to reserve your lane ahead of time for the indoor pool. I like the policy, since it saves you from going to the gym, getting changed and showering only to realize that there are no free lanes, but if you like to be more spontaneous about your workouts the JCC pool might not be for you.

There are a heck of a lot of services and activities associated with the JCC. The largest would seem to be the nursery school, the gym and the pool. If you had a nursery school aged kid, and enjoyed to lift weights and swim for some good low impact cardio, you would probably never leave this place. But that's just not me.
