You can go to bigger gyms, grunt along in a random fashion and probably do yourself good if you…read moredon't hurt yourself. But if you're out of shape and looking to whip yourself into shape (ahem, hello), this is a good place to do it. Small, friendly and never overcrowded, this place is where you go to work one on one with a smart trainer (Michelle De Dominicis! but there are others who appear to know their stuff, too) and get in shape without throwing out your back or spraining a muscle. Plenty of rowers, ellipticals and treadmills for warmups and a good circuit of machines and weights...everything you need and nothing you don't. Uptown parking is still intensely stupid (yay Kingston.), but consider that walk up the hill or up the stairs part of your cardio warmup.

I have been a member of MAC Fitness for about 10 years. It's a wonderful gym! Tons of equipment, a…read moregigantic main room with high ceilings & an oversized fan, great spaces for functional training, stretching & jumping rope, a terrific aerobics room, clean shower & locker facilities, nice people on staff... add to that a reasonable membership fee... and it's everything I could ask for in a health club! I find the overall atmosphere of the club to be very motivational & welcoming and that's why I look forward to coming here a few times a week! Other highlights to consider: Great tanning equipment, good water pressure/temperature in showers, cool ambient temperature & air circulation in workout rooms, the machines are well maintained and new gear is often added, lots of TVs -if you're into that, and an overwhelmingly nice clientele (i.e. not too many obnoxious 'gym-jerks'... almost none really... I hope I'm not considered one!). I travel for work and I get to use gyms all over the world. I've seen some really nice health clubs out there, but I always look forward to returning home to 'MY' club... MAC Fitness!!

Like many companies post Covid they have scaled back on staff and created a more self care gym. The gym is a self care place to begin with. If one wants a spa experience then go to Equinox. The owner Mr Santiago is all ways curious even in the face of disgruntled people. I am impressed how he keeps his cool in the face of some peoples insane requests/demands. the structure is such that insulation is a problem and heat is crazy expensive fortunately he listens to those that have stuck it out and has a GREAT solution.

I was a little worried about going to hot yoga without any preparation but I ended up LOVING the class. It's a no-frills yoga place but the instructor was REALLY good. Her attentiveness and the detail of her instruction varies on the students' needs. Her teaching style was firm, focused and yet energetically calming. I found myself pushing myself to do better and feeling good about it. I can only imagine that the other classes and their instructors are just as good. I read some reviews about how this is a legit yoga spot and I'm so glad we checked it out. I'm always a fan of places that put the work in the services they offer; as opposed to investing in the beautification and aesthetics of the place but offering subpar service. I'm very happy to have found this spot!

Be wary of their fees. IXL charged me a $25 fee because my credit card expired. I know it says in…read morethe agreement that they reserve the right to charge the fee, but it's a poor customer experience to be charged $25 simply because I didn't realize my card expired. I'm sure most people do not memorize and track their credit card expiration dates. A heads up BEFORE the card expires might be a better way for the club to handle it, rather than charging the fee after the fact. It's a good way for the club to make some extra money though; think about how many members have a card on file to pay and how many expire each year. They make $25 on each one. The people at the club desk just tell you to call the support center, which is really just a third party which manages the payments; they have no authority to waive fees. I called and left messages for IXL management twice, received no response
