    Not exaggerating when I say that this place has changed my life! I have often found it difficult to…read moremake time to exercise, or to stick with a workout plan once I've started it. However, a few years ago I signed up for one of the Park Fitness boot camps (first thing in the morning, three days a week) and the rest is history. I genuinely enjoy going to classes here and have noticed serious differences in my strength, stamina, and energy. The classes I've attended have been welcoming to a wide range of ages and fitness levels -- often, you'll be working with your own individual weights, so you have the opportunity to choose something heavier or lighter depending on how much you want to push yourself, or make adaptations to exercises if need be. The instructors and staff members are all super enthusiastic and supportive, and it really feels like a community. Facilities are always clean, neat, and well organized -- much nicer than many other gyms and fitness studios I've been to. I'm lucky enough to live within walking distance, but if I ever move, I suspect I will find myself traveling farther so I can continue to come here. It's absolutely worth it.

    I love this place! I have weird/bad feelings and experiences with gym-like spaces as a not-thin…read morewoman. But this space is body positive and fun! There's no body negative focus on losing weight, weighing yourself, measuring your muscles, or getting "in shape" as a mandate to determine success. It's really about doing what your body can do, and sweating and smiling while doing it! Janine (the owner) leads awesome boot camps (I've only done the beginner one, and it was very challenging for me), and she does a great job of getting diverse, nice, down-to-earth instructors. I LOVE Lizette and her energy! I also really enjoy yoga with David. Overall, the "feel" of the space is welcoming and warm. I feel good supporting a local, woman-owned business, AND I feel good, body and mind, from being active!

    I have been a member at the Prospect Park YMCA since 2021, and this has got to be the most poorly…read moremanaged YMCA I have ever been to. I stayed a member for so long because it's a convenient walk from my house, but I recently left here to join the Life Time and I couldn't be happier. Here's the good, the bad, and the ugly from my experience. The good: The pool. You really cannot get this anywhere else in/around Park Slope. That said, it is often crowded, with 4+ swimmers per lane, and the swim lane etiquette is not the best. They have lanes divided by speed - low, low/medium, medium, and fast - but basically I've found there is one fast lane, and all of the rest are slow. It feels like the fast-lane users are either former Olympic / Masters level swimmers, so I have to be in this awful position where I'm getting passed all the time in the fast lane, yet people get angry with me for going too fast in the other lanes. That's just my experience though. The bad: The free weight room. Basically, everything is overcrowded, and the etiquette is horrible. The free weight room has ONE power rack, which is insane for such a large gym. This is compounded by the hoards of teenagers that camp at the gym during peak time, sometimes leading to long queues to use any of the equipment. And the etiquette is some of the worst I have seen. People leave weights lying around on the floor or haphazardly put plates back wherever they feel, leading to a ton of clutter and general chaos. There is usually an attendant in the free weight room, yet they do absolutely nothing. Generally, the staff sucks. They do not greet you and just generally seem disinterested except when they are talking amongst themselves. The ugly: The locker rooms are just horrendous. Everything is filthy with dust everywhere. The lockers are super outdated, busted and rusting all over. There are often cockroaches in the dry sauna. But the worst is the showers. I think that was the final straw for me. It genuinely feels like a prison shower in that half the shower curtains are missing, and I even saw a bunch of blood on one of them. The ceiling is covered in mold; they don't even bother to paint over it. I don't need much, but I at least expect a clean and pest-free locker room. The state of it is shameful honestly. There is also no towel service, which is insane for how much you pay. Meanwhile, Harbor Fitness has towels, and the membership there is $76/month. All of this would be fine out of a low-cost, no-frills gym, but the cost of the regular individual membership is $96 per month, which is just out of line. The value is practically non-existent. They will also try to scam you when you try to cancel, saying there is a 15-day notice period, despite that being against the law in NYS. Bottom line, do yourself a favor and don't join this gym.

    I have been a loyal patron of this gym for about ~3ish years but only recently started taking my…read moremembership seriously in the past year and started going here regularly. This gym is the best gym in the area by miles and I thoroughly enjoy my workouts here. Yoga classes are super fun, I love the instructors and unlike a lot of other gyms this place is truly home to a community. I enjoy seeing people of all ages and walks of life work out here, it's truly amazing and representative of the neighborhood. The high schoolers can be super annoying in the weight room and I know the staff has worked to curb their rowdiness by assigning them specific hours. I've heard a lot about towel service that used to be here but I've never experienced it, that would be nice to have back. The steam room and sauna are an absolute God send in the locker rooms and I really enjoy that the large pool has been segmented to avoid conflict with other swimmers. I've noticed if anything is out of order it doesn't stay that way for too long which I absolutely love. It's understandable in a big facility like this things will go out of order but maintenance is definitely on top of everything and deserves a shout out. It used to annoy me that the gym closed early but they definitely listened and extended their hours recently till 10 PM which I also greatly appreciate!!
