There is a lot to love about Court 16 in Brooklyn…read more 1. First and foremost, the staff. They are amazing, kind, and attentive. My son and I felt comfortable the moment we walked in. We went there for an event and the staff ensured everyone was taken care of and had a wonderful time. 2. The location. The courts are located on the 4th floor of City Point and what makes that cool is you can explore shopping, food, and movies before or after your tennis session, all within the same building. We did just that and it added to the experience. 3. The cleanliness of the facility. Everything from the courts to the restrooms were top notch. 4. The trainers. We got to meet and work with a couple of different trainers. They were engaging, warm, and could clearly teach any level. I have been playing tennis for years and still walked away learning something new. I love when that happens. Thank you to everyone @ Court 16 - Brooklyn for being amazing. My son is now asking for us to go play some tennis together....

After nearly a year of emailing and notifying the gym staff and "complaint box" about, I finally…read morequit this place. The staff doesn't help clean the place up, people don't re-rack their weights, the free weights and kettlebells are impossible to use because they can only be accessed by the classes, there's a single bench press area, a single squat rack/deadlift platform, spin bikes are only available during classes, two benches, and as I mentioned, nearly no available kettlebells and free weights outside of classrooms. Teens take over the place, as do unsupervised children. Lifting on a wooden floor is dangerous. I personally had to put up a "broken do not use sign" on a broken peleton, because the staff didn't notice. There's one plyo box that you have to run around to find. NO showers...in a gym. The manager, Chris, does not address your concerns, even after contacting him personally.

Tucked away in Gowanus, it manages to…read moreditch the "gym warehouse" vibe for something that feels way more like a high-end social club--without being pretentious about it. Here is why it's currently the best spot to play in the borough: * Pro-Level Surface: They didn't cut corners on the courts. The cushioning is elite, which is a massive win for your knees if you're playing a long two-hour session. * The Vibe: The design is industrial-chic but warm. Between the lounge areas and the bar, it's the kind of place where you actually want to hang out after your game rather than just packing up and heading for the door. * Serious Play: While it's very welcoming to beginners, you'll find some of the most competitive play in NYC here. The "Open Play" sessions are well-organized, so you spend more time on the court and less time wondering who's next in the rotation.

There is a workout room, cardio machines, a dance studio and a gym. There are also music classes. Many activities for children and adults. The locker room is okay; it's at the basic level of clean.

Was so excited for the grand opening of this place, it was fairly close to the sunset/bensonhurst…read morearea with ample parking even late at night. This grand opening and renovation has been showing up on my newsfeed for the past month or two and I finally came for open play today... and while the price was great $10 for 2 hours (during grand opening week) however Velto was not it. We came with a large group of friends (20+ people) and practically booked out the open play several times that they ended up opening up more slots and courts for it, everyone knew everyone.. literally. However the lady working there kept barking orders into the speaker phone every other shot that it was so hard to focus on games itself. First of all this is open play not boot camp, second of all we are all friends. There's no reason to be dictating which courts which person should play on... after nonstop barking into the microphone for the first 15 min straight it just killed the whole vibes. We alI just wanted a moment of peace and silence to focus on our games. Everyone i came with echoed the same thoughts. While i understand that 6 people per court allows for the best rotation, some people rotate courts so that they are not stuck playing the same people the whole time (at least that's how it is in every other locations open play) the lady was like YOU CAN NOT HAVE MORE THAN 2 paddles queueing at once... if we don't mind waiting an extra game and we are fine waiting an extra game or two... does it matter if there's 2 stacks queue? The other courts would have no wait and they can play back to back games.... what's the issue? We are all friends there and she was aware that we knew each other from the beginning. Cons: #1 the lady and her damn speakerphone telling us not to piss her off (like.... lol?), the court absorbs the bounce, the back two courts have a weird slope that you are practically running up a slope after serving or if you are running backwards to try to hit a lob you need to watch your footing cause of the uneven ground.. one of my friend tripped and ran into the wall cause of the slope. This is kinda surprising cause I was watching videos on my feed of them digging up the floors and laying new flooring etc. The overhead lighting blinds you, the kitchen and the court is the same color and the lighting makes it hard to see if a ball is in or out cause everything is the same color. There is no water fountain. Pros: although the temperature didn't work for me I appreciate that they had the heat on and was not cheap with the heat, I just wished that it was lower cause on the back court it hits you in the face every time you pass the mid court. there was ample seating around the courts and I can appreciate that they put effort into the aesthetics with the plexi glass and there is a locker area and vending machines incase any one was hungry or thirsty. note to management- explain the rules in the beginning of open play and then just let everyone have fun. there is no reason for your workers to be interrupting the games and barking orders every 5 min
