About New York Sports Club
New York Sports Club is a well-equipped gym chain with convenient locations and member-friendly month-to-month memberships. The gyms offer a wide range of fitness facilities, including functional fields, personal training, group fitness classes, heavy lifting equipment, and a variety of cardio and strength machines. Additionally, they have recently added new recovery lounges. Since 1973, the company has been on a mission to improve lives through fitness, serving members under its Sports Club, Around The Clock Fitness, and Lucille Roberts brands. While the gym has all the standard equipment, the weight lifting area can be small, and equipment may be limited, leading to wait times, especially during peak hours. The showers in the men's locker area also have some issues with water pressure and missing handles. However, the gym is generally well-maintained, with continuous improvements in cleaning, equipment, and air conditioning observed by members. The staff at the Boylston Street venue, led by Paul, are described as professional, friendly, and helpful in assisting members with understanding the gym's policies and contracts. The gym's clientele is also noted for being attractive and motivating. Overall, New York Sports Club offers a solid fitness experience, despite some minor inconveniences.
Kerry is the BEST Zumba instructor. I have been taking Zumba classes with her for about 15 years. Her classes are fun and high energy. The music she chooses makes you move and the environment is inviting. Movements or choreography is in tune with the music and it’s easy to learn. She is the best.
Big thanks to Sharon for her amazing Saturday Pilates class. Her professionalism shines through every week, and she always finds creative ways to keep the sessions fresh, fun, and highly engaging.
Generally a good gym at a reasonable price. When popular equipment breaks, however, the repair can take weeks, and then it might break again soon, as in the case of the “booty builder.” When hours were reduced this year for the day before Memorial Day, my husband and I never got an email about it, and he found nothing on the website or the app about special hours. A sign on the door doesn’t help if you’ve been out of town, as we were.
