Just joined this gym couple of weeks ago after being a member of Summit YMCA for many years. This…read moregym is surprisingly large (from outside it looks like a tiny storefront in a strip mall). This is review for powerlifters since that's my general workout. I have no views of group classes or cardio machines (although there appears to be plenty of machines and different options available). They have 3 lifting platforms with olympic weights. Feels good to be finally able to do heavy deadlifts without worrying about the floor giving out (at Summit, they had some issues of the floor weakening since it was above the locker room floor). There are plenty of dumbells, pre-weighted ez bars and straight bars, and some hammer type machines (although I think the brad is different). They also have a full section of sled pulls, battle ropes, tire flip, etc. which is kind of fun and way I get my cardio in my workouts. I workout early in the morning and the gym is not that crowded. If you come about 30 minutes late, you may have to wait for a squat rack to open, but overall I never had to wait to use a lifting station. Others have mentioned the loud music, and I agree that they do turn up the music a bit too loud, but I usually have my sound absorbing headphones on and it doesn't bother me too much. Places like the YMCA is great if you need other facilities like swimming pools, basketball courts, etc., but for pure weightlifting, I think Fitness Factory is a great facility and price is much cheaper as well.

Great gym, great staff…read more But the gym has recently switched focus from providing exceptional service at a good price, to expanding and making more $$$. When I started coming here just over a year ago, the gym was always spotless, and members wants/needs were being met. The locker rooms are severely due for an upgrade. Residential appliances in the restroom, and a sauna that's consistently filthy with wooden panels coming up/missing. The steam room has been broken for years, and the lockers are cramped and awkward. Overall I love this gym and community, just wish whoever is in charge would take a little more care of the facilities given the price of membership.

Eh. Got sucked into the OTF craze and quickly realized I just wasted $100 for my first month (not…read moreto mention the cost of a heart rate monitor that you can't use anywhere else). The staff and trainers were great, I just hate - HATE - the treadmill, and every class was tons of...wait for it...treadmill work. No big surprise after my free trial class, but I guess I optimistically thought I'd get into it if I kept an open mind. Nope. Did I mention I hate the treadmill? Interval training is where it's at - if only there was more variety than the treadmill and rowing, though I actually do like rowing. But did I tell you how much I hate the treadmill? Also didn't love the class reservation model, not to mention that an expensive monthly membership only grants you a limited number of classes (unless you go for the unlimited membership, and thank god I wasn't THAT enthusiastic when I signed up). With my work schedule I need a bit more flexibility. I did love the darker, orange-lit atmosphere, as I hate staring at myself under bright fluorescent lighting when I work out. This simply wasn't the fitness routine for me. That said, if you enjoy this type of workout - and you'll shed pounds and shape up quickly with interval training, I promise you - then go for it. Like I mentioned, the staff and trainers were great, and the facility itself was nice enough. To paraphrase my parting phrase on many a first date: You're a nice gym, Orange Theory. It's not you, it's me.

HORRIBLE BUSINESS! I got a free Orange theory pass because I bought tickets to Del Mar Thoroughbred…read moreRacing....I showed the lady at the front desk my ID and she tried to charge me $30 because it was an out of state ID and "my address was not within their 5 mile radius"....this needs to be stated more clearly because as I signed up for this "free class" online, the 5 mile radius demand was not explicit. Instead of pressuring me to pay $30, they should have suggested bringing in alternate documents (such as tax documents) etc....but that wouldn't make them $$$ so makes sense why they were pressing me on paying $30...Just a complete waste of my time and false advertising and PETTY!!!! The lady at the front desk mentioned she "did not appreciate my dishonesty"....I explained that I am home for the summer with my parents who live nearby and she was not willing to listen to me. It was either $30 or scram. They have lost any future business from me! Very bad business and I wish i knew the girls name at the front desk...she had no right to patronize me...I was very excited for a free class but i will never return here again.

I've really enjoyed my experiences at Murray Hill. It's a smaller gym, but still has all the…read moreequipment needed to get a great workout. There are ellipticals, treadmills, weight machines, and free weights upstairs, and an additional room with weight machines and free weights downstairs. I've never had to wait to use the equipment, no matter what time I arrive, which is a huge plus. Another benefit is that classes (Zumba, barre, kickboxing, spin) are included in the cost of membership. I haven't seen that many other places. Costs are very reasonable. The only downsides are somewhat limited hours. The gym is open until 10 on weekdays and 7 Saturdays and Sundays. If you're looking for a 24 hour gym with 100's of classes, this isn't for you. If you're looking for a small gym with all the necessities and a few frills, a great, caring staff, and a decent price, Murray Hill is the gym for you! I highly recommend giving it a try.
