Basically a pretty hardcore racquets club that also has fitness rooms and a few other facilities…read more There are indoor and outdoor tennis courts galore, two racquetball courts, weight training and aerobic/agility workout rooms. There's a tiny pro shop and they'll do restringing for you, acceptable locker rooms, sort of a weird layout as befits a place cobbled together from a series of steel and inflatable buildings. They have scads and scads of instructional programs ranging all the way down to summer fitness camp for toddlers (I am not making this up) and what looks like a series of internal tournaments. There's an outdoor seasonal pool, but no basketball or open gym that I can discern. They've got a few odd extras, like yoga classes and tanning and basically pile on the amenities (free coffee, toiletries in the locker rooms, wifi, that kind of thing). There's no snack bar - just vending and the coffee - and the small lounge/waiting area is comfortable enough but isn't going to be much of a hang out place with views only of the indoor courts. The pricing is good - flat rate of $39 a month for individuals at this writing, no contracts, with couples and family discounts, which gets you access and the amenities but not court time, which is extra. There is a $100 "initiation" fee and if your membership goes inactive you still have to pay $20 a month (or quit and repay the "initiation fee" again), but that's still a lot cheaper than canceling a yearly membership fees at a lot of other health clubs and gyms. Kid bonus: they do a nice kid birthday package where they'll send your birthday kid and guests through a bunch of games that they'd be playing anyway if kids still went out and got together on their own but since kids don't do that anymore they eat it up (in our experience, at least).

Everyone in the class was in the same boat - friendly, supportive, fun - we all worked together and we tested our fitness levels at the beginning and then at the end of the 4 weeks - everyone in the class, from age 17 to almost 70 made great strides - the amount of energy, stamina, and ability is amazing. Loved how they taught proper form, how to use various pieces of equipment such as suspension bands, exercise balls, kettle bells, battle ropes and more. The trainers are friendly, energetic, challenging and motivating. I am already seeing results and cannot wait to move to the next level for the next 6 months going 3x per week. It is really a great place - my only regret is not starting sooner. Believe me, if I LOVE going to my classes and want exercise and good nutrition to be a part of my life - ANYBODY can do this. If you are at a higher level, they offer classes for you, too. You only compete with yourself. This is not a gym - no boring treadmills - the small class sizes and ability to have one on one training as well is amazing. They also offer drop in capabilities (pay by the class if you want to try it out) as well as contracts. Massage, yoga, and even belly dancing are available! I cannot say enough good things!!!!

I received an email back in a reasonable amount of time considering how busy they must be. The person in charge of donations asked me to send a photo (which is totally understandable) before pick up was approved. Shortly after, an appointment time was set for pick up. I had the furniture placed in the garage as requested. The truck came within the designated time, and furniture was taken to the truck efficiently. I would say it was "professional operation." When it was picked up, one of the two men said, "This furniture is in great condition. Thank you for your kind donation and for thinking of us." I was happy to donate to a good cause and will continue to do so. Three years ago we donated oak kitchen cabinets when our kitchen was remodeled. I saw that they were sold for $550. I was pleased to help an organization with such an outstanding mission.

This review is for ReStore, the store front for used furniture and recycled fixtures and appliances…read morethat Habitat for Humanity runs in downtown Schenectady. Habitat itself is an outstanding organization and does great work. The H for H offices are located on Pearl, so this should be recategorized in Yelp as Home Furnishings / Retail Furniture, not Contractor Services. First off, hours: Thursday 10-6, Friday and Saturday 10-3. Tip: if you come early on Thursday, you'll have your best chance of getting pick of the new stock for the week, since they're closed the other days but continue to collect donations. So this is basically a thrift store specializing in furniture. It's everything you'd expect from a place that runs on donations. The stock is not by any means new or in style, but they do a good job in filtering out items so you don't have any dirty or unusually smelly items. Some of the items I looked at were broken or had significant flaws, but they for the most part seem to have filtered out truly unusable stuff. They do have a little bit of everything, and the repurposed fixtures (including doors and windows) are probably the cheapest you'll find anywhere. I had a little difficulty at first getting appropriate help - there were many volunteers but they had to find the chief guy in charge to do pricing for me, and they kept asking me the same questions about the items I picked out (as to whether they belonged in a set or not, like that matters for very used furniture) - but it's hard to quibble with volunteers on the basis of the service. They tried, even if they weren't as organized about things as they could be. Be patient with this sort of thing if you go in. If Design on a Dime ever does a Schenectady show, they'll love it here. I have a lot of fun speculating about previous owners of many of these items. (I really got a hoot about the five-piece living room set I saw on my most recent visit, where there was a built-in Stereophonic Console in the corner table unit. 1966, here we come!!) I also urge you if you do go, round up on your purchases and throw the extra money into the donation kitty. This group builds houses for people, and does it in a way that brings the people who will live in the house and own it into the building process. It may be unfortunate that this is needed, but it is, and doing a little shopping here can help this effort while helping yourself. One caveat: from the blank expressions I got when I asked if they check for bed bugs on the furniture upholstery, I'm going to guess that they do not do their own screening here. So given the reality of bed bugs and older pieces of furniture, I urge you to check for yourself. This is true for any used furniture these days. Update: adding a fourth star after multiple visits - the stock really does zing in and out (well, some of it) and Thursday mornings are definitely your best bet. The second floor, which I neglected earlier, has miscellaneous small fixtures, lamps, plumbing stuff, and so forth.
