The place is a little run down, beat up, and gritty, just like the gyms I trained at back in the 80s. If you're looking for shiny new equipment and spa vibes, this isn't for you. But if you're serious about training, welcome home. You won't find Planet Fitness types here -- this is a place for hardcore bodybuilders, strength athletes, and a few tough strength ladies who know their way around the iron. Over the decades, they've built up an incredible collection of equipment, giving you multiple ways to hit every muscle from every angle. The cost is very reasonable, the staff is friendly, and the best part? The members feel like family. Whether it's offering training tips, sharing a laugh, or giving you a spot when you're pushing your limits, everyone has your back. If you're not faint of heart and want a gym with soul, history, and community -- join Ultimate Gym.

This summer season was our worst yet and we've been members since it opened…read more The slides were barely ever open Either the indoor or outdoor pool were open but rarely both. The indoor was drained twice for repairs in less than 3 months. Pool hours were cut to 12-4! Even on weekends! We couldn't enjoy the pool after work. Towels were limited to one per person and asking for an extra towel literally got you yelled at. Chairs haven't been cleaned in years so I'm covering my chair! I was told by one of the kids that guards there that they blamed it on maintenance but they didn't want to hire! They were always short staffed but didn't want to pay people. Overall this club has taken a nose dive and put profit over quality. We pay a lot to be members with no regard. The other locations are much better. Stay away from this one!

Come in and in 30 minutes you'll leave with a total body workout. 30 minutes seemed…read moreshort at first, but after your first session you realize working hard for 30 min is just as effective as your usual 60 min gym routine. Plus, you can come whenever and use their cardio equipment. Hit the treadmill for 15min before/after your workout... there's your 60 min! The spot itself isn't large, but they have more than enough equipment to work every muscle and to keep things interesting; Kettle bells, free weighs, benches, cardio machines, rowers, battle ropes, ladder climber thingie, rope puller thingie... you get the point. It's all here. The trainers don't overwork you, they find your comfort level and then take you from there. I've had two different trainers and both are really friendly, even when you want to run out of the gym and buy a cheeseburger from anyone willing to sell it to you. Bonus points for eucalyptus towels and a water machine. You literally don't have to bring anything but yourself here. There are great deals to be found on the discount websites, but I would suggest calling up and asking about their deals instead. Most of the time they will honor whatever coupon is out there and you don't have to go through a third party middle man. Personal training... do it!

I have mixed feelings about this gym- of the ones I've tried on Long Island (Suffolk and Nassau),…read morethis is one of the better ones. But it's not a high bar. Staff here is really friendly I will say. Not really the cleanest LAF No one re-racks their weights. The way they rush you out at closing time (overhead announcements every 5 or less minutes), you'd think the staff could take the time to rack the weights. It can get REALLY busy. I try to go during non-peak hours but even then... they could really use more machines. The bathrooms are okay, or the cleanest but expected for a public area I'd think. It's about the gym goers as much as the cleaning staff though. Gym goers though tend to be pretty friendly I find. So.. not the best not the worst

Based on stories that I've heard, I always thought that LA Fitness was the one of top tier gyms…read morearound. Until, I found out that it was not or at least this particular gym location wasn't up to par. It is disgraceful to see two different gym equipments being operated as if nothing is wrong with either equipment. Safety should always matter. One equipment has no seat cushion and two barbells was used in place of where the seat cushion should've been. I can't imagine how uncomfortable a workout may be for someone who may want to complete a workout while seated with longer repetitions. The second machine, someone put a barbell under the seat cushion of the lat pulldown machine, I guess for the purpose to level it or to make up for a missing part. La Fitness members pay MONTHLY dues and ANNUAL fees so there is NO reason why equipment should be out of order at any given time. Things happens all the time but the best way to rectify issues is to address them and get them fixed ASAP. This is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable to paying customers who come to work out with good quality equipment. LA Fitness, you have to do better!

I never come here during rush hour, so I do not know what the wait time is then. The place is relatively clean, including the locker room and shower/changing area. Sometimes members do not wipe off equipment or re-rack their weights. Occasionally, there is broken equipment, but they are usually fixed within a few weeks. Staff is polite and respectful, and most members seem nice.

Prices are a bit steep but it gets better if you go on a family plan. They also provide a lot of gym amenities to make the pricetag worth it. From pickleball courts to rock climbing. Basketball courts as well. There are so many things to do at the facility beyond normal gym and fitness. They also have an indoor and outdoor pool. Both of them are very large and spacious. The outdoor one also has waterslides and a poolside bar and grill. It really feels like a resort. The indoor amenities are good as well. You can relax in the hot tub or sit in a sauna/steam room. There are also cold plunge pools. I love the unlimited studio classes. Xtreme intervals and maxout upper/lower body are my favorites. The instructors are energetic and motivating. They always keep me on my toes while keeping the overall class still fun and entertaining. If you're looking for more than just a basic gym, Life Time is the place to be. Highly recommend--it's transformed my fitness routine!

After seeing how nasty it is by the entrance to the sauna/steam room you instantly know the inside won't be any better, and is the reason why you never see anyone use it. Only 1/4 of the pool is open to gym members as the rest is reserved for a toddler swim class which runs all day. You can tell by the feel of the water and the muggy filter to it that the water isn't that clean. You can tell they just clean the pool once a day, with hair and weird liquids found all over the pool siding constantly. To sum it all up, I'm coming from planet fitness where cleanliness isn't a big priority and you get used to it, but wow this gym makes your stomach turn sometimes. Only reason it's 2/5 is because equipment is always available. Just need to give the place a deep cleaning and it'll be a 5/5

I made the plunge and joined Equinox a few weeks ago. After coming here for a few Yelp Events, and…read morebeing that it's close to home, it made my decision an easy one. Although pricey, it's worth it! Let's start off with the amazing customer service I've received. I had the pleasure of meeting Brett. He is a Membership Advisor. He messaged me to see how I was doing and if I had any questions. My very first day as a member he showed me around the the gym from top to bottom, corner to corner. He even offered to take a class with me if I didn't want to take one alone. He is super friendly and funny. He continues to say hello to me BY NAME every time he sees me at the gym. That's amazing that he remembers my name considering how many people he sees and interacts with at the gym every day. Now Christopher (I believe that's his name) works at the shop at the gym where there's clothes, gym bags, and other accessories. When you become a member you get 20% off your first purchase at the shop. So...I took advantage of that! Christopher was patient with me as I looked around the shop. So many choices! Some of their brands run big...so I was happy that I was able to buy a smaller size than I normally would. Christoper helped me pick out some things and even showed me a super comfy sweatshirt. It's a men's sweatshirt...but it's the most comfortable sweatshirt I've ever worn. Comfy and warm! Brian, the manger is also super nice! I had a long conversation with him on my first day at the gym. It was so nice that he took the time out of his day to speak with me. He also greets me by name every time he sees me at the gym. As a new member you get a complimentary Pilates session. I took mine with Jacqueline. The Pilates session is in the studio and it's just you and the trainer. Jacqueline was very patient with me as I've never done Pilates before. She showed me how to use the machines. She also taught me that Pilates isn't just body movements...but it's about your mind as well. Which is very true. We even laughed! Who laughs when working out? That's what I thought. You also get a complimentary personal training session as a new member. I had the pleasure of meeting Tracy. She is wonderful! She understood me and my goals. She was patient and answered my questions. We also laughed a little. Again, who laughs when on an 10% incline and 3.5 speed on a treadmill?? That's what I thought! I felt so welcomed as a new member! Besides the "Welcome" email and "Welcome Packet" I received, I received a hand written welcome card in the mail, and another welcome card in the mail. I can truly tell the Equinox cares about their members. On to the gym... SO many machines for cardio and strength training! I've never had to wait for a machine. One of the things I like about the machines is that they have internet. I've enjoyed watching YouTube videos to get me through my workouts. You can even access Facebook, Google...and a ton of other things. You can sync LoseIt and other apps if you use apps to calorie count or to keep track of your food intake. There's also WiFi at the gym...so you can bring your iPad or other device and watch Netflix as you work out! I am guilty of this! :o) If you aren't sure how to use a strength training machine, don't be scared. During my tour of the gym, Brett mentioned there is always staff on the floor that will show you how to use them! Don't be shy...ask them! Locker rooms... I can't speak for the men's locker room, but the woman's locker room as everything you can think of. Hair dryers, straighteners, razors, tampons, mouth wash, hair gel, shaving cream, shower caps...etc. There's also a filtered water filling station and a digital scale. Everything you can ask for! Now the showers are wonderful. Kiehl's shower products are like a dream. They smell so yummy, and have me feeling refreshed. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and face wash. The showers are nice and hot! AND... eucalyptus towels!!! Smell so nice, especially after a sweaty workout! What are you waiting for?? GO workout at Equinox!
