I'm fat. There is no sugar coating it. After neglecting my body for years because of work and family obligations, retirement from work has finally allowed me to take care of myself. As part of my medical insurance, gym memberships are discounted by participating gyms and Limitless was one of them. Now I go in the morning, and I believe everybody's experience will be different depending on when they go. When I go, the gym is clean, and I see people actively cleaning the gym. The locker rooms (at least the men's locker room) is also clean. There is a health bar there and a supplement store on site as well. The machines seem to be taken care of where anything that is broken seems to be fixed within the week or less. The free weights area is large so people should not find it hard for space to do what they need to do. The clientele ranges from young to very old and from obvious body builders to the average person trying to get fit. Everyone there seems serious about getting healthy. I did not run into douchey gym bros or anything like that. People there seem to want to get their workout in and get out. I appreciate that. There are numerous fitness coaches there and lots of classes. I have never taken classes so I can't speak about it. There is also a nursery there so you can bring children if you needed to. The staff is friendly and willing to help. Signing up there was an elderly gentleman (maybe in his 80s) coming in. The manager asked him how he was doing. I was told later he was out for months because he fell. The manager took the time to ask how he was and if he needed anything. That was very thoughtful. Now why only 4 stars? Because of something completely out of their control but still takes away from the experience. It is parking. They share parking with CVS and the lot gets full quickly. When I go, there are always spots but it fills up quickly. When I was leaving, there were 5 people fighting for my spot. There is nothing that can be done about it. It just is a pain to park there. Anyways, I like this gym. I will continue to go until things change. read more

I belonged to this gym when it was a Gold's up until last year when I had to deal with a family emergency out of state. I've never had a bad experience here as I became acquainted with a lot of the members and staff. My only issue is the size of the place. It's very small. As with all gyms, regulars will develop a rhythm/pattern of what time they workout to maximize their time. It's not the best temperature maintained space and the ceiling leaks. If you're not use to working out on top of other people, you will have a hard time adjusting. Certainly, not the worst gym; just small. read more

-Not much space, they took all the resistance bands and the manager doesn't respond. - Only the owner has been helpful but staff won't let me get in contact. - Younger staff and others hang out at the juice/drink bar and aren't friendly to everyone. They try to intimidate people by loitering there for hours at the entrance. One guy told me he worked there when it seems like he is just a customer. -I asked the young white girls who work there for help with the machine but they were too busy working out that they didn't even respond when I was almost falling off the stairmaster. May just cancel my membership for now until they get better management and yoga/pilates in the afternoon or night. read more

I went for a tour here this week because I'm looking for a new gym. Breanna? (Sorry horrible with names) gave me a tour. She was friendly, welcoming and helpful! I had actually been dreading coming in because it's always seemed very 'male dominated' and it was but she made me feel comfortable enough to want to come back! The gym is spacious with a good selection of cardio equipment, lots of weights as well as classes included in the membership! Women's change room has a dry sauna, lockers and showers. I'm actually looking forward to my first workout here. read more

This gym is disgusting. The equipment is always broken, the ceiling is loaded with mold - when it rains, there are buckets that are left everywhere to collect the rain inside the gym. The air conditioner is never on, the internal temperature has exceeded 80+ degrees. The equipment is wiped down with a dirty mop that is used on the floor. I have never even seen a fire extinguisher in this place. People use the sauna naked, leaving body fluids on the seat - again, which are not sanitized nor cleaned. They will give out memberships, without even accounting for an occupancy limit for public safety purposes. They focus on selling items at the front, but refuse to keep their sanitary wipes stocked. Maybe the gym should redirect their attention from the staff flirting with gym members, and focus on fostering an environment that is safe for public occupants. This location is a Dept of Health field day. read more

See all

I really just go to use the sauna. I can go in as I please without worrying about attire or sharing the space with minors, it's very peaceful and the people are respectful! I hear the classes offered are great! I'm very pleased! read more

I've been going to limitless gym when it was Golds gym and the gym has gotten worse with whoever is the new owners.The facility is always out of wipes,no new equipment and equipment is always broken.There is also a ceiling leak that hasn't been repaired. read more

There is nothing to complain about in terms of the quality of the gym (cleanliness, equipment etc). However, I am not happy with the female receptionist whom I spoke to on the night of April 14. I explained to her I was on a no commitment membership plan and I had been informed that I needed to fill out in person a membership cancellation form before I am charged on the 15th of every month. I moved away and it was difficult to come at all and I told her I really needed to cancel it. She said that she was busy and LEAVING SOON and could not do it. I observed she was simply chatting with other gymgoers. She asked me if I could come in the next day and I said no. She said if I left my information, she would make sure to do it the following morning and I would not be charged. I worked out for another hour, came out, and she still has not left and was still chatting! And of course my membership was not cancelled and I have been charged. read more

Good gym, a bit small that's why I'll recommend you to go during the morning or passing 10pm during 3 to 8 it's packed and can't fine any machine available read more

This used to be a Gold's Gym, and I probably joined about a year or so before it became Limitless fitness. Though it was better when it was Golds in my opinion, there's a lot to like about this gym The good: - The Juice/Smoothie bar. So many options of smoothies, protein drinks, and they're completely transparent about every ingredient. They will also modify the ingredients more to your liking. They're BIG too, so you get your money's worth. - The classes are fantastic. they have them from morning to night, and everything from beginners aerobics, dance-based classes and yoga. They also have a pretty intense spin class. - For the most part the equipment is maintained pretty well. They've gotten a lot of new stuff the past couple years, and have been better about fixing machines that break. - open 24 hours almost every day. - very clean. - The atmosphere lends itself to a good workout, there's something motivating about the gym. It's fun. - There's a physical therapy office inside, - The locker rooms have saunas - The staff is usually friendly and helpful - nice view of the water from the treadmills section The bad: - The parking lot is a NIGHTMARE. Too small to handle the cars for the gym and the CVS downstairs. Plus people wrongly park their cars there to go to Starbucks next door. People create their own spots, essentially parking wherever they feel like, including the sidewalk (yes really) and in the handicapped spots. - It can get very cramped when it's busy - They BLAST the music and often, maybe almost always, they play really offensive things. You're guaranteed to hear the N-Word from the speakers a couple of hundred times if you work out for an hour. You'll also hear every other obscene word you can imagine. It's crazy, especially times (like weekday mornings) when there are many senior citizens there. And they play it so unbearably loud your headphones won't help you unless they're really good noise-canceling ones. Everyone seems to hate it. This has been going on for so long that I remember a few YEARS ago, I saw an older gentleman complain about the music, and when he walked away the girl behind the counter rudely said "what does he want us to play Frank Sinatra?" Sometimes where there are classes going on, you'll have diffierent loud music coming from 3 rooms at the same time, and it just makes you want to leave. I used to ask them to turn it down, but they'd hardly ever do it, so I stopped bothering. - The temperature is unpredictable, I never know how to dress before I go. Often freezing in the winter and too warm in the summer. - - Not the gym's fault AT ALL, but the younger men that go here have no etiquette. Slamming weights (all the time), grunting, hogging machines, yelling at each other from across the room. They really act like they own the place. Some can be super creepy when it comes to hitting on the women, leering, just being pigs. There are some guys there I see regularly that pretty much hit on every young woman there. It's gross. Everyone else is SUPER nice, friendly and normal. The young women are regularly called "honey, darling, sweetie" by the men who still think it's 1955 or something. (95 percent of the guys there probably aren't like this, but there's still too many of them.) read more

My friends and I are members for years since this gym was gold gym. This gym has become disgusting and dirty. There is no proper ventilation. The ceiling leaks. The equipment are outdated for years. It's the most pricey gym in the area but seems like the cheaper ones give better service. read more

I switched from ghetto LA fitness to here 5 months ago. Yes, it's more expensive but it's worth it when you consider the cleanliness of Limitless and the availability of equipment. There's also a major difference in the type of people who come here; la fitness was filled with people who wanted to socialize and take pics while here it's clear everyone comes in and out to get their workouts in and are respectful of other's time. It has gotten more packed over time which I'm not thrilled about, but overall I'm able to get my 1.5hr workout in and go. I also appreciate the small touches in the bathroom that make all the difference, such as the mirrors, mouth wash, lotion, Q-tips, hairspray, and etc. Shoutout to the maintenance staff for keeping this gym spick and span. read more

Been working out at this gym for years now. Best gym I've been too! Friendly staff, awesome smoothie bar and even greater fitness classes. The people that train here go hard and are focused on their workout goals, so its very motivating. They are also open 24 hours which is super convenient with my busy schedule. BIG SHOUT OUT to Coach Jeff... I've been personal training with him for 6 months and im finally at my fitness goal. Happy client and gym member ! Thanks Limitless (: read more

Filthy. Rude members. Overcrowded. Broken equipment This is the WORST gym I've ever been to. I wish I had taken a picture of the chewed gum someone stuck to the treadmill. Had to change my treadmill twice to find one that actually worked. Not to mention having to work out next to people constantly yapping on their cell phones. What's up with the bros in the weight room wearing denim jeans and construction boots? I'm so glad I got to try this place out for free before joining. It's so crowded. No one wipes the equipment down after use and I saw a child left on a bicycle unattended. What a joke. I wouldn't work out here for free. I ended up joining Tapout fitness in Ozone Park instead. read more

I can't hear my workout music even on highest volume on the headset (beats). This is dangerous if an emergency occurs since I won't be able to hear any announcements. I've requested several times to have the background music moderate.hearable,not deafening. read more

A great gym in Howard Beach. Limitless Fitness is exceptionally clean and has a friendly, accommodating staff. It's fully equipped in both cardio equipment and weights. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. It has a diverse clientele who have a mutual respect for other "work out sharks". For new gym folks....., it's the least intimidating gym that I've ever been to, everyone is polite and willing to help. The only reason Im not giving it a five star is the air conditioning. I understand units break down and I believe they are addressing the issues. With that said, I think 72 on a gym thermostat is a little high, especially while accommodating units that are in repair. Also, the heat in the cardio areas where air conditioning is most needed is a little bit of a problem read more

Clean , friendly, professional with amazing customer service ! I love my gym , looking forward to it reopening and returning after the social distancing protocols are lifted! read more

While on NY I went to this gym as a guest of my friend and I was very impressed. All up-to-date equipment. Small towels NY the front desk. They had a separate room with a pull up bar, kettle bells, fitness balls and mats along with rowing machines which we used for core work. Decent cardio section with the normal cardio machines and as my friend called it the big boy section where all the weights were I didn't go to but I used the circuit machines. read more

The gym advertises that they are open 24 hours but I am here at 6:48am and the doors are locked. There are people upstairs but no one is answering the phone. There are several other members waiting around with no clue as to if the gym will open soon or remain closed. Update. They have updated their hours of operation. read more

I love this gym!!!! Frequently here...7 days a week really!!! Very clean, great staff, accommodate any workout I'm trying to get in. It's 24 hours throughout the week!!!! Anything you need someone is knowledgeable to help you and they genuinely care about their customers. All good things to say about this business. read more

Howard Beach and its surroundings communities are fortunate to have such an amazing gym so close to home. I am not a fan of the usual corporate gym (LA Fitness) that forgets the little things like their members! Limitless is far from that, they truly care about us! They focus on having the highest quality machine and weights available. Limitless Fitness responds to our needs and demands as well as maintains a clean gym environment. They greet me by my first name and with a smile every single time I walk into the place. I can't imagine training anywhere else, I simply get the best workouts when I am here and feel proud to be a member. Thanks Limitless! read more

Ive been coming to this gym for almost seven years. Ive seen it transition from Golds to Limitless Fitness and I am always impressed with the upgrades and changes they add to the gym. The instructors are second to NONE; Always welcoming and helpful and makes working out something I always look forward to. Ive seen many members leave and ALWAYS come back and say the same thing, "The classes are better here", "Its cleaner here", "The staff is friendlier here", "Theres more of a family feel here". Not to mention theres complementary day care and kids classes that are offered! I am not going anywhere, this is my second home! Proud to be a Limitless member :) Come see for yourself... read more

Been going to this gym for the past 3 years & it's great seeing them improve every year. They have a variety of machines, hammer strengths & cardio machines..great equipment & gets the job done! Their personal training room is also well organized & spacious, as well as their aerobatic room, juice bar, sauna room, & spinning class room that is open to members if a class is not in session. I'm not one to complain about a gym, if it gets the job done & I can get a good training session in, I'm all for it. I don't care if the dumbbells are messy, or the place is dirty..a gym is a gym, not a spa. I will say the choice of music is not the best (bring your headphones!!), & having the fans on during winter is not a good idea. The day pass is also pretty expensive. Overall, if you're looking for a place to train at then this place will get the job done. read more

I work out In the early mornings and I love it because everyone so nice. There was a staff member who was kind rude when I ask him a question I think his name tag read ed or Edwin or something like that. But over all this gym is great they have so much for me do. I go with my wife so we are team I love the music I love how if other people see you do something wrong they help they truly care about the clients The prices are great tho compare to other gyms Keep up the great work . read more

The Silver Sneakers program of SS gave me a FREE 2 year membership so I can't complain about the price. The gym seems nice with machines that work Very busy most of the time I've been there I am interested in the treadmill and the stair climber to build resistance and endurance I don't care about the weights Hope to go about 5 times a week The lockers are a bit scuzzy but as I live fairly close I will shower at home after a workout Surprised to see many seniors in great shape there. read more

Favorite gym of all time & I've been to many. It has every machine I need & more. There is just so much equipment to use and on top of that everything is so clean! Classes & training are offered here. I love taking the cycling class bc the instructors are so good! Top of the line gym. read more

Dana at the front desk is always so helpful. She makes the best shakes and is always friendly. She should get a raise.

Been coming to this gym for almost a year now even during the time when it was Gold's Gym. Price-wise, I really can't say much because my insurance pays for it but I wouldn't pay more than 30 a month to be honest. Like my Gold's review this one is pretty similar. Parking is a mess. Get here during peak hours; early mornings and evenings and be prepared to fight with the small lot which is shared with CVS. Or just come during non-peak hours-after 8 and skip the meter parking. Since Limitless has taken over the space there has been some improvements but honestly not by much. Firstly, looks like a lot of the same machines and equipment. Not a lot of design difference but I will say the space has been looking spotless. It seems cleaner and a tad bit more spacious. However, same complaints on my end. Its a small gym and seems crowded. The music selection is alright, I find myself taking off my headphones and actually jamming which I never did before. The staff is efficient, nothing really worth mentioning. I, however haven't used any of their physical trainers nor have I attended a class because the schedule does not align to my free time. I don't understand why gyms crowd their morning classes when most people work during those hours...I wish there was more class offerings for people who are off in the evening. I feel like this gym caters to a wider audience rather than the muscle heads that Gold's was known for. Also, they finally replace or upgraded the water fountain which wasn't very functional on my previous visits. Overall? Not a bit spot to work out but I would suggest non peak hours so you don't feel like a sardine. read more

Best gym in Queens! Little bit of everything for everyone. From management, staff, to the other members it's like we are a family.

Best gym in the area! Amazing classes with awesome instructors. Tons of equipment. Super clean and family friendly. Clean daycare. Complimentary kids classes with membership. They have a fantastic juice bar and meal prep. Totally recommend wouldn't go to any other gym A++++++++++ read more

I've been a member at this gym for 5 years (previously Gold's) and it's the only gym in Howard Beach worth joining. It's no frills with an old school twist; the right size and enough equipment to target every area of your physique. No gimmicks no bs, In and out training and great hours for any schedule. (24hr during work week) if you're moving to the area and looking for a gym look no further. They got a parking lot which can be tricky sometimes but for NYC you won't find much better. The staff is friendly and Joe whose awesome will take care of your membership needs. One thing that stuck out the most during my 5 year tenure at limitless was when my wife who was also a member became seriously ill and the staff at limitless were very accommodating in working with our plan, eliminating a financial burden for us; they actually cared. I'll miss the gym and the staff; i give the gym my highest recommendation. Thanks for 5 good years of health and fitness. read more

The gym has recently undergone some changes and it is exactly what it needed! The gym is always clean and the staff is always super accommodating and respectful. The pricing is reasonable and comparable to most other gyms. I recommend this facility to everyone in the area looking for a space to work out. read more

Wow, what a gym. Brian is the best fitness professional in the business. He always has an intelligent answer to any question that I ask. Brianna is great at her job, too. She's the next Jen Selter. All in all, it's a great gym. read more

Did a 7 day guess pass and I loved it when I was there . I am soon going to get a memebership

I am absolutely in love with this gym! All I can say it's amazing, AMAZING! The machines, the classes, I look forward to my morning workouts The Staff is amazing and so friendly! read more

Limitless took over from Golds Gym, but did not make any major changes. Gym machines, treadmills are okay and generally available. Staff is very nice. Clean, but shower and bathroom facilities stink and seems like a third world country. Needs SERIOUS improvement here. read more

Do not use this place!!! It is a scam!! They claim to have cancelled my membership the same day and are still charging my card- three months after the fact. Try blink or planet fitness, way cheaper and you won't get scammed after they claim to have cancelled your membership. Customer service is inexistent, and they consistently charge your card for services that were never rendered. read more

Love This Gym. It's very clean and a great friendly staff. Has lots of different classes to take and plenty of machines to use. The are always taking suggestions from members on what they wanna see added. After a great work out you can stop at the juice bar and have a great shake. read more

Let's face it - finding a decent gym is a challenge. Limitless isn't just a "decent" gym; it's amazing. The staff is always friendly, the facility is clean, and the group fitness classes are challenging, innovative and motivating. read more
