Its a new gym but the eqipment is old and rusted WTF!!! How do you have a new gym and old equipment. really? thats strange...the bally's location here was recently renovated...basically the old facility was underground, just one level and had been there for 20 or so yrs. is what i was told...then they shut that down and built a brand spanking new 4-level facility (with one of the levels underground where they have all these hot chix who come in for yoga classes) with a swimming pool (altho its only 3-feet deep, lol) + sauna + jacuzzi...and they dumped ALL of the old machines, even the cardio, and every single thing, even the weights are all new....if it wasnt as crowded with lamers i would've kept going there but unfortunately thats not the case...but its really a top gym facility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berniec Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 the one in Saddle Brook looks like its fairly new, but its got one level with a whirlpool thats always full of 60+ year old men and women, its got a decent amount of cardio equiptment (which is why i go there for my morning cardio cause its close to my house), but the actual lifting section of the club is probably about 40ft x 80ft....and always packed.

nycchic24 Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 Crunch.. . mainly the one on 83rd and Columbus by my house but there are ilke 7 or 8 gyms through out the city.they have unique and innovative classes... Urban Rebounding, bosu Pilates, Cardio Strip.. and they usually have newer equipment in all the gyms. lafayette is open 24 hours! and almost all of them have boxing rings. i pay like 60 a month for the passport (all gyms) but its the corporate rate. i think a regular membership is like 80 or 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherway83 Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 60+ bux is a rip off...even the worlds most famous gym, (Golds Gym here at venice beach, where many of the topmost bodybuilders train) charges only 35 bux a month...and its got the best equipment u can find anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANCEdeep Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 anotherway, seems like in ny the popular range is 45+...60 seems normal here. guess we're all getting f*cked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orisha Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 I don't actually. After three years as a gym rat, I prefer working out at home or outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyckitty69 Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 i pay ~$145.00/ yr for bally premier membership.i like the ones in manhattan cuz i can work out and go home quickly. it's a dirty club but the equipment is good and fairly cheap. there isn't even any eye candy.they make it seem nice in the tv advertisements, but it is not true from my experience.did they close the one on 32nd st?Originally posted by anotherway83 im a member at 2 gyms, bally's (directly across the street from me, its huge) and world gym (the same gym and location where arnold schwarzenneger first started working out, yep!)...bally's is totally crap...i mean its got good amenities and shit but most of the ppl. are there only to show off and check out other chix and shit...so for ne1 serious abt working out i recommend NOT going to these big-name gyms...the world gym where i now go is much smaller but there are way fewer ppl. (like on average only 10 or so), very little distraction, top quality machines...its a flat rate of 300 bux a yr.bally's i pay 27 bux a month, premium membership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyckitty69 Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 they have classes, I never went, but my co-worker likes the classes, they have the standard aerobics and yoga classes, taebo stuff, ...oh, a correction, my last annual bill was ~$165.00. the good thing about ballys is u pay $30-45 a month for 3 yrs, after that u pay a flat annual rate as a thank u for your support. for that price w/ good equipment it's not a bad deal especially w/ this economy. they give lots of guest passes too.i go to a few bally's, 1 in queens, elmhurst, qns blvd cuz, & 2 in manhattan - 1 on 55th, another on 50th st? or is it 49? depending on my mood.Originally posted by DANCEdeep nyckitty69....which ballys do you go to?
