Great local gym with big open space, good amount of cardio machines, and a decent schedule of classes. Wish they had more weight machines like Planet, but the group fitness classes make up for it.
MAC Fitness is a great gym with great people. The trainers are knowledgeable and helpful. The equipment is first-rate and extensive. They have a sled, power training ropes, a Jacobs Ladder, and the full gamut of weight machines as well as a huge range of free weights and stretch equipment of many kinds (I have used hammers) in several rooms. They are the best-equipped gym in the area. The facilities are clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the place has a great atmosphere. The trainers are great, and I worked with one for three years before going on my own. Unlike many of the gyms in Manhattan, they are honest. The price is moderate given the extensive equipment. All of the equipment I use regularly, especially the weight machines, work fine almost all of the time. The weight machines I use regularly include the sled, Jacobs Ladder, biceps, triceps, chest press, lat pulldown, fly, row, leg press, leg curl, leg extension, and abdominal. I also use treadmills, bicycles, ellipticals, and similar aerobic machines. The machines all work fine and are in good shape. Occasionally one breaks down, of course, but they are fixed quickly. They have plenty of room for stretching. The bathrooms and locker rooms are clean and not too crowded. They have a huge selection of treadmills, bicycles, row machines, and ellipticals, and in three years I have always been able to get one without a wait. Sometimes some of the weight machines are occupied at busy times (they can use an additional biceps machine), but there has never been a time when I could not find at least several free machines, even at the busiest times, as people were rotating. There are a lot of great people of all ages working out there. It's conveniently located near Walgreens, Herzog's, Hannaford's, etc. in Kingston Plaza. It is the best of seven or eight gyms to which I have belonged since my friend's dad used to take us to the McBurney Y, then on 23rd Street, in the mid-1960s.
Lots of machines, not overly crowded on a weeknight. My friend speaks highly of their personal trainer, though I haven't tried that myself. PB cup lite smoothie was good; also enjoyed the sauna!
