Took a weekday afternoon tour recently…read more The front desk lady welcomed me cordially. To which I then asked if it would be possible to tour the gym. Within moments a young gentleman came to assist. During the tour I witnessed clean areas, with what I'd say were diehard gym members maintaining their fitness goals by either pumping iron, running on the treadmills, stretching in the group fitness room or swimming laps in the lap pool. Quite motivating. The young gentleman who gave me the tour walked me up, down several stairs and throughout all accessible areas of the gym. He was thorough and answered all of my questions without being pushy. The Pool area looked really appealing and the Ladies Locker room looked neat and well kept. The one thing lacking for me was a squash/racquetball court. I know this is not a popular take for all, but I think indoor courts could have been considered in the plans as the Waters Place area is a sprawling piece of land which could've easily accommodated at least two courts in the build. Another plus in having indoor courts is the accessibility during the colder months. Also at this stage, a racquetball court could have been converted into at least one Pickleball Court...definitely a missed opportunity. In my opinion, Owners/Contractors fail to realize that Bronxites are avid racquet sports players too. Imagine getting a great indoor court workout, and then an option to take a few laps in the pool, conveniently located within your area instead of having to trek across the bridge to another LA Fitness that has this amenity. When joining a gym you'd want these conveniences factored in to encourage you to visit as often as possible. Unsure of their membership fees, but at a glance a nice looking gym. Outdoor parking was available during the time I visited. And an indoor garage is also available. 3.5 Stars

I joined this gym in January and its the best investment I've made this year, im a shitty day trader so thats not saying much. The Yoga studios are so peaceful and the instructors are all masters. Notably Jason Morris hot yoga classes are energizing and therapeutic, he is such a Guru Ive learned so much about anatomy and making a mind body connection that it spills over into weight training. Luliias voice is so soothing and her classes are so fun, the Friday class specially feels like everyone is connected Gigis class is super cool on Sundays it should be renamed Juicy Yoga with Gigi lol, shes so funny and connects with everyone, the class feels like cuddles after sex. Spin with Juggy and Melora is elite. Ive gotten so much faster in my road bike after just a few classes. Functional training with Nyerre Mays is un-unreal. He is such a cool dude and such a Pro. The pool is epic, the Jacuzzi forget about it. The entire staff is super friendly and makes everyone feel super welcomed. I truly feel at home whenever I make it to the gym. The MVPs of the gym are the cleaning staff though, everything is so spotless all the time. In a city so chaotic is nice to have this peaceful oasis.

I was a guest of a member during the 18-inch snow storm, so I wore my $500 dollar suede Danner lights (Made in the USA) to manage the snow. Upon entry, I was informed by the staff that, due to the suede being too light, it looked too much like Timberland boots, which are banned. I was professionally whisked to a backroom, where I was offered to wear black loafers 3 sizes too large if I wanted to make my appointment. I spent the rest of my time skipping through the venue in order to not trip over myself, wearing massively oversized shoes. I would have been okay with this footwear restriction if it was universally enforced, but there were plenty of people in the club wearing duck boots, metal hook leather hiking boots, and even the same type of boots of a slightly darker shade. Apparently, the shoe shade restriction was not something members are aware about (the no sneakers restriction is well known). I have previously been a guest here with positive experiences. However, today I was put in an illogically unsafe experience, forced to wear loaner shoes 3 sizes too large, because $500 lighter suede boots are deemed less classy than duck boots for being too"Timberland like" during a snow storm.

I've known NYSC since the '90s, and I know it now. The difference is staggering--and not in a good…read moreway. My home gym is uptown, and I've come to the conclusion that the further uptown you go, the more the quality of the facilities seems to decline. It's disappointing. The gym is far too crowded to maintain any real consistency in a workout plan--especially between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. I understand peak hours, but the level of crowding lately makes me seriously question whether the facility is even adhering to capacity limits. I often walk in with a focused plan to work a specific muscle group, only to be forced to improvise with whatever machine is free. I've left earlier than planned out of sheer discouragement. During the week of 4/21/25, I had to wait 15 minutes before a locker became available. For clarity, every single locker was in use. That's unacceptable. The locker room itself is cramped and awkward--we're essentially fighting for space on the only two benches and the two wall-mounted mirror shelves. If I wanted to take it further, I could honestly say it feels insulting. The machines also tell a story. The adjustment levers are stiff--understandable, considering the apparent overuse. Several machines clearly need maintenance, if not complete replacement or upgrades. Yes, NYSC does offer access to other locations during emergencies like construction or water outages, but here's a suggestion: consider giving members access to the two nearest alternate locations if the membership count at their home gym exceeds a certain threshold. Sure, it's unlikely every member shows up at once--but it's not impossible, and it's certainly something worth planning for.

Wainer, the person training me, could not be better: he is patient and encouraging, his explanations are clear, and he is full of knowledge about how the machines and routines work to create muscle and better health.

After only 5 and a half weeks, I already have some muscular development. I'm grateful to Wainer and to the Riverdale Y for having such an employee. The facility is clean and bright, and the staff are welcoming and pleasant. I am glad that I joined the Riverdale Y.
