I think this is the best gym in this neighborhood, South Slope. Super friendly staff, very well managed and always very clean for sure. I love the variety of free classes they offer throughout the day. Decent array of equipment to choose from although it can use a little updating. Also it could get too crowded during weekday peak hours, between 6pm to 9pm. Oh the juice bar is amazing. Hands down a must try! Definitely the best feature that earns this gym a 5 star review. read more

I've been a longtime member of harbor fitness and I think it's the best gym in brooklyn. But what the heck is going on with the men's sauna at park slope. It's horrible. The gold standard for sauna is 180 degrees Fahrenheit. It struggles to even get to 160. It's often at 140. This is not acceptable for a sauna. I also despise when people have taken to making it into a steam room. It's f$&ckin stupid. So to members who read this. Stop with that. You want steam go to 92nd location, they have a steam room. The point is to heat your body up and get blood flowing heart rate up and recover. Sauna is not about just getting wet and sweaty. When the sauna was renovated about 2 years ago. You also got rid of the second level , why? Some people want to be up there and get hotter. Also why is the temperature sensor inside with the sauna heater. Is there a reason why it's placed there ? The sauna will never get hot enough. If the sensor is basically next to it. I remember the original sensor before the sauna was renovated was by door. And back then the sauna, never really had stupid A holes putting water on the heater. We would police that and stop them. Please fix the sauna. Fix the sauna please. Please fix the sauna read more

4.5 years ago, I was in search of a new gym, and I'm so glad I found Harbor Fitness in Park Slope! The front desk staff are incredibly friendly and helpful with any questions the members have. The gym is consistently being cleaned, and the equipment is well maintained. The class instructors are amazing - full of positive energy and always ensuring that the class members have the proper form for the corresponding exercises or workouts. The personal trainers care about their clients and work with their schedules. If you ever have a question or concern, you can contact Gym Management (via the new app) and poof receive an immediate response: We need new chains for the heavy bags (boxing classes) - done! I'm having issues with the new App - done! And did I mention the free smoothie on your birthday :) Thank you Harbor Fitness for being BROOKLYN's Gym! read more

Harbor Fitness - month to month membership they refuse to cancel - Gyms Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

In Brooklyn for a few days and found this gym. The first-day pass is complimentary which is great. Two-level gym with Cardio, machines, and turf for agility on the first level. The second level is downstairs with all cables, free weights, dumbbells and squat racks. Also the locker room can be found downstairs. Wish I was able to get more pictures in for my review but I'll for sure head back here to grab a Harbor Sweater and for more pictures of the gym. read more

See all

Best gym membership I've had in NYC, and I've lived in Brooklyn for 15 years. I've been a member at this gym for almost 3 years now and what I love about this place is a) the saunas b) the classes and c) the non-commercial, run by actual people who care about fitness and health vibe. The staff is always welcoming. There are eucalyptus towels at the ready. The people who come to work out here feel like a community that generally keeps the place respectful and clean. I never have a difficult time finding space or the exact equipment I want to use. There is equipment that I've learned to use here I'd never seen in another gym. The classes are my main go-to: I frequent the yoga and Pilates classes and as someone who has been taking yoga for a long long time, I can say these teachers are great if you're looking for a challenge and equally great if you're brand new. There's also many other boot camp and toning classes as well as cycling classes and they all come with the membership. It's a lot less expensive than a yoga membership anywhere else AND you get the whole gym too. And the sauna. There are saunas in both the men's and women's locker rooms (which also have showers) and I never have an issue claiming a space in the womens' (If I don't have it all to myself.) The saunas definitely are a part of my survival in the Brooklyn winter. Oh and there's smoothies and protein snackies on the way out :))) The hours are plentiful, the people are nice and down to earth, if you're looking for a down-to-earth place to work out to the best of your ability, I highly recommend Harbor Fitness. read more

Been going to this gym for almost two years and really liking it! Staff is very friendly and the facility is very clean. It can get busy for sure, but that's the case for most gyms. I just wish they had an easier way to check in (like a keycard or something). Right now you have to tell the staff your 6 digit code and it feels pretty inefficient. read more

Been a member for over 3 years. The gym is well maintained, clean and they are always updating equipment. The staff is exceptional. Always welcoming, kind and willing to assist in any way possible. The best! read more

Came here slightly faded and hit a great workout. The sauna was not that great because it wasn't that warm but the shower afterwards was really nice. read more

I am a recent member and really enjoying this gym! The front desk staff is lovely and helpful. The locker rooms have sauna and steam rooms which is great. I am getting fantastic care/training from Mike L. He's so knowledgeable and super focused on helping me achieve my goals. I am an older female and want to maintain mobility and upper body & core strength as I age and care for grandchildren! Mike is super professional at all times as well as personable. I am really benefitting from training with him and it's only been a month. I highly recommend the gym and my trainer, Mike! read more

Everyone, and I mean everyone, at Harbor Fitness is wonderful. Every single time I've visited the gym it has been a very welcoming experience. I'm adopting them as my home away from home. read more

I've loved being a member here for the last year! Clean facilities, nice sauna, friendly, helpful staff (shoutout Melody and Eric), and fun classes! read more

Great gym, helpful staff, the locker room has a dry sauna and the lockers have combo locks built into them so you don't have to bring your own. They provide large towels for showering as well as small towels to use during your workout (and a minifridge of chilled eucalyptus towels to cool down). Great variety of gear and equipment, The 2 floor layout can get a little crowded during peak weeknight hours ~6-8pm, but they're open until 11pm on weeknights and 9pm on the weekend which is fantastic (the Park Slope YMCA closes 9:30 weeknights and 5pm weekends). Membership includes a decent variety of free classes (Yoga, Spin, HIIT, Pilates, etc). Overall it's a premium gym at YMCA prices! read more

great equipment love the cool eucalyptus towels HATE THE LOUD MUSIC- I can't even drown it out with my headphones read more

i'm a everyday member and i think the staff at the front desk is terrific every single day they are always nice and welcoming and i apprecite it all the time read more

I joined Harbor Fitness about 4 months ago and it's been a great experience so far! I made the switch from Blink Fitness to Harbor Fitness and what an upgrade it is. The gym has a variety of machines, barbells, cables and areas to workout in. Even when it's busy (mostly only on Mondays) you can still find space to workout comfortably. Everyone is always welcoming, even the other members. There is a sauna in the women and the men's locker rooms. Even though I've only used the sauna about 3 times, it's a great option to have. There are also eucalyptus towels available that you can use for the sauna. The gym has an app that you can use to look at the class schedule, access your member ID and get any notifications of issues. It's also a clean gym. My one and only complaint is sometimes some of the machines are SO loud- they have a squeaking noise. But it's only a few and it's the same few always. I've been putting on my noise cancellation headphones on which keeps the sound away. Last but not least, the smoothies are always amazing and you have many options for the smoothie or protein powder flavor. If you're not gonna join the gym, you should at least try a smoothie :) read more

Harbor Fitness is an absolutely amazing gym and the trainers are terrific. 12 rounds with Dee on Sundays is great and she is amazing. Linda is the best trainer I have ever had and really knows her stuff and goes above and beyond to work with you. I very highly recommend her! read more

Great Vibes there. Receptionists are always welcoming me & make me comfortable. My trainer is Amazing. He know what my body needs. Even I didn't notice, somehow he knew my problems, & adjusted the plan to fix it. & They kept cleaning the facility, so it's always feel good!!! read more

Harbor Fitness - Gyms Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This gym is great! Super welcoming and helpful staff and community. Always clean and efficiently run. As a perk for joining, their staff taught me how to use weight machines for the first time for free. I wish I could continue working out there as it was so easy to walk right over and get a great workout, but I moved too far away from the area. read more

I love my gym! Great machine options, plenty of free weights and cardio equipment to go around. Everyone who works there is super friendly and a special shoutout to my personal trainer, Amber, who is awesome and kicks my butt! read more

Great gymn - super friendly staff, clean equipment, friendly atmosphere, and accommodating management. The dry sauna in the locker room is wonderful, especially in winter, and the chilled eucalyptus towels to cool down are a treat after a good workout! read more

I got my son a membership as a Christmas gift last year. He really loves the place. The staff was wonderful and very helpful/responsive. When he broke his hand, there was no problem freezing his membership for a few months. Melody, especially, was very courteous. My sister and nephew have been members of the 92nd St location for years. They love being able to use different locations. read more

Great gym. Love the gym, staff, but my only complaint is that it's TOO COLD. During the winter they got the AC still on , fans blasting, and it's 30degrees outside. People want to be warm and break a sweat without getting sick. Complain to the staff everyday about the indoor temp and it never gets adjusted. The staff says they can't control the temperature. It's ridiculous. You have to workout in a sweat suit and a Northface winter coat. read more

I like the other location better. This one, went for a day pass and it was inefficient as there was only one person manning the front, making smoothies telling me to give him 2 seconds. Ended up waiting like 10 minutes just to process a day pass. Nice gym, only complaint is ventilation downstairs is lacking. Gets mad hot. read more

Great staff, parking easy in the early morning. Just got brand new equipment. Clean, towels, perfect location, it's a perfect 10 !

Harbor Fitness is great. Since the renovation, there is a lot more space, available floor space and machines. The facility is always kept clean and the staff is super nice. I'm a class gal.. the classes keep me moving and have helped me work toward achieving my fitness goals. read more

Harbor is the best! I rarely, if ever, have to wait for a squat rack or machine, smoothies are great, staff is lovely, and they're extremely accommodating and chill. Best gym I've belonged to in over 10 years in BK. read more

5/5! Very reasonable monthly prices, clean and spacious facility, friendly and welcoming staff. Plus I love my personal trainer Maggie!! Been going there a year+. So glad to have joined! read more

Best gym in the area - they have everything you need if you like to lift and it doesn't get too busy

I found Harbor Fitness in Park Slope while using Evolve physical therapy and decided to join based on my observations of the space, members and trainers, even though there are gyms closer to where I live. The gym is clean and well-equipped, and the members generally seem to be respectful of not hogging the machines. Training packages are reasonable, and there is a decent selection of classes. I wish there were more classes throughout the day, however, which is why I am only giving 4 stars. read more

Great facility, awesome staff and trainers. Just took a free spin class with Jim and he absolutely crushed it, feel so much better after. Thank you read more

I love this gym! Also i just finished a 20 session package with Jim Crawley and i just wanted to say that he is, hands down, the best personal trainer i've ever had! He was very knowledgeable, attentive, patient and encouraging. I've come out of these sessions stronger, more motivated and more on track to reach my fitness goals.. oh and one size down! If your considering hiring a personal trainer, go with Jim at Harbour fitness, you will NOT regret it! :) read more

Can give so many reasons for being in love with this gym, from being greeted by the front desk (specifically Sheila and Raul) to the amazing gym equipment/environment; there isn't a person in this world I wouldn't recommend this gym to. I love it! read more

Harbor is the BEST. Staff is really nice, helpful, and non-judgmental. It's always clean and there's more than enough equipment - rarely have to wait. Best gym in Brooklyn! read more

I've been going to this gym on and off for years! I live about a hour away but the travel is definitely worth it. Wide variety of amenities available! Staff is soo friendly and welcoming! The best part is BRENDEN, literally the best trainer there is! He helped me formulate a plan and get back on track towards my goals. I'd come in tired after a long shift at work and leave feeling invigorated after out workouts. He will raise your limits and keep challenging you, but only because he truly wants you to accomplish your goals! I've gotten so much stronger, physically and mentally, because of him. Thank you so much for your hard work and for believing in me when I didn't. I 10000% recommend Brenden to anyone who wishes to start their fitness journey or get back into it after a long hiatus. read more

Did my 1st ever yoga class last week with Ethan as the instructor. The results were amazing and the instructor was fantastic. Looking forward to making this part of my regular routine. read more

I've been going here for a few months and it's the best decision I've ever made. I was gym shopping for a bit but this is worth every (fair and reasonably priced) cent. It's super clean, the equipment is all up to date and works wonderfully, the staff is so nice and helpful. The entire facility is gorgeous with lots of space. They have a sauna I've never used but I like knowing that I could if I wanted to. I go in the morning before work and it never feels overcrowded. My only complaint, and I realize this is so nit picky it's ridiculous, they have old water fountains that aren't made for bottles and thats just me searching for anything to be wrong so this doesn't sound too good to be true. Also their classes are fab! They have a really well balanced schedule and each trainer is so supportive and amazing. I've taken a few but my absolute favorite is boxing with Orlando, it's a killer but so fun. I wish he instructed more classes at park slope that I could attend around my work schedule but it gives me more motivation to just never miss a Sunday now. read more

I was a member at Harbor Fitness Park Slope for two years before recently moving to Boston. I had a fantastic experience at the gym. There is plenty of space, an awesome turf area, four Olympic lift platforms, large studio and more. Basically every type of exercise you can imagine is available at Harbor Park. The staff is all very friendly and helpful, and the monthly fee is very reasonable. If you live in the area I would recommend this gym to anyone! read more

Best gym in Park Slope "where everyone knows your name!" Friendliest staff. Affordable monthly membership with luxury-type amenities. 2 full floors of cardio and weights, a large fitness room for group classes, large bathrooms/locker rooms with built in locks, sauna, towels provided. Smoothie bar at the front desk. When you sign up, they offer a complimentary training session and body scan. Even when they're busy, I've never had an issue getting assistance or finding machines. I will never go anywhere else! read more

I have been going to Harbor fitness off and on for about 15 years. I have also tried other gyms but have not really liked them. Harbor has a great layout and lots of space and the staff are always super understanding and supportive. Honestly it feels like a neighborhood gym vs a chain and at the same time very professional and knowledgeable. The equipment selection is great and the huge free weight room is awesome. During covid the gym has really taken everyone's needs into consideration and allowed for membership freezes without fees for those folks that aren't comfortable going in at the same time taking all safety precautions for those that are active and attending. The support around covid has been incredible. Even though it's a bit further away from me than other gyms Harbor will always be my spot. read more
