Harbor Fitness

Harbor fitness is the best gym in NY! The gym is clean and up to date but really makes it amazing is the 3 best front desk associates JEN, EMILY, AND MICHELLE! They are so kind and helpful. Always smiling and making all the members fell welcome :)

Sign up for a week trial to see if this place is right for you. For me, it’s more so for convenience. But in terms of facility, it’s just alright. The place is a bit dated. The women’s locker room reeked of body odor when I first walked in. The lockers are also painted in this ugly pastel pink color that reminds me of walking into a high school locker room. Their machines are a little better than expected but nothing that really sets them apart from other gyms I’ve been to. I guess the one «cool and trendy factor» about this place is they have a juice bar by the front desk. But other than that, there’s nothing else about it that would lure me into becoming a member. I’m done paying anything over $ 60-​$ 70 a month when I can use the same machines and equipment elsewhere for only $ 25

I’ve been a member at Harbor for 3 years. I absolutely love it. I joined for their awesome classes. The instructors are all experts in what they are teaching. Real yogis teach yoga, real cyclist teach spin, and real martial arts teachers instruct the kickboxing/​fight club classes. The sauna, steam room and looker rooms are always clean. Majority of the treadmills have a TV on them.

Been with harbor fitness for a while now and I must say its a fantastic gym. It’s in the heart of Bayridge, super clean, upbeat music and positivity in this gym helps members get through there workout!

I joined a little over a year ago and I must say I love this place… It’s my second home and what I mean by that is it’s truly a great place to be at! The staff is super amazing!!! I think highly of most of the staff and I must say 3 stand out for me which is El, Jenn & Frank B!!! I also have to say both owners are also very nice, always polite and welcoming.
I really have nothing bad to say about this gym it has an enjoyable atmosphere and great staff so Def happy with my decision to join this fitness club! 2 thumbs up!

The elliptical machines seem rickety and a several years out of date (I’d assume that also applies to treadmills, stairmaster, et al. but I haven’t tried them). I’ve noticed the video screens on the machines do not work, leaving you to stare at a black void inches from your face — unless you peer up at the tv’s suspended from the ceiling about ten feet ahead, but except for the occasional knicks game, there usually isn’t anything playing that I want to watch. I guess I got a little spoiled at my old gym, where all the individual monitors on the elliptical machines worked and you could select whatever channel to watch from an impressive assortment of cable regular tv channels. In addition, the Cybex resistance equipment looks to be around 10 years old. There have been real improvements in resistance equipment in the past few years, enabling people to get better workouts — I hope Harbor Fitness will invest in some new stuff. These things annoy me but they are not deal-​breakers so far. It’s actually not a bad gym, all things considered.

I have watched the consistency of customer service that members and guests alike are treated. Besides the great facility, smoothies, surveillance cameras child care, wide assortment of workout equipment and great classes what’s not to like?! Add to that excellent personal trainers. I used my complimentary two sessions with a trainer after I joined. He was incredibly knowledgeable and had the perfect combination of what a trainer should be. I couldn’t be more happier with Harbor Fitness. Consider this my third home in Brooklyn after Whole Foods lol.

Been a long time member and it is by far the cleanest gym I’ve been to. The equipment is always top notch! The staff always greets you with a smile and are quick to help you whenever needed. One of the greatest features for me is the (Free) daycare because it allows me to workout even when I don’t have a babysitter! I’m not one to take classes but there are a ton of them. There’s definitely something for everyone no matter what age

BEST. GYM. EVER. Love Harbor Fitness! Super friendly staff, clean, supportive environment. Great classes! Loved the freebies when I signed up (backpack, free snacks from the smoothie bar, and training session). My trainer was great, wound up purchasing multiple sessions with her and learning a lot in the process. I recently moved and hated to leave this place behind. Join this gym, you won’t regret it!

love it here. friendly staff. good equipment. love the spin class and the juice bar. Very great place. However, if you’re new to the gym or lifting weights the set up can be intimidating. BUT Everyone is super friendly :)

I’ve been a member here for several months and I can’t get enough. I’ve been a bit of a gym rat/​fitness fanatic for most of my life, and I feel right at home here. The facility is beautiful and clean. They have all the equipment you could want. The classes I’ve been to have been great if that’s your thing (outside of yoga, classes really aren’t my thing). But what stands out most is the staff. Everyone who works here is so welcoming and kind. I have so many stories of times when I felt like I was being treated like an Olympic athlete just for walking through the door. They do their best to remember everyone’s names, times they come, your favorite smoothie, what you do for a living, etc.
Also, take candlelight yoga :) trust me.

Its a great gym in the heart of Bay Ridge. They offer quality machines, personal trainers, free weights, and classes. My favorite was there complimentary physical training session where i learned a workout that would work best for me.
My only gripe is that the gym is PACKED during convienent hours

Love this place. El and Lisa are so awesome. I always feel comfortable, but it’s also a REAL gym with proper equipment, not some planet fitness that has a bunch of generic machines and no real training areas. Great value, great people, awesome place.

My favorite gym in New York, LA, and Florida. The gym is always clean and you are always greeted by smiling faces. The entire staff from owners, managers, front desk, to the trainers are nice, encouraging, supportive, and helpful. It feels like a family. The group fitness classes are the best I have taken. The instructors are talented motivators that help you achieve your goals. They do have child care, clean towels, and the latest equipment. Plus a full smoothie/​protein shake bar. I would recommend this gym to everyone. There is a reason it is rated as Brooklyn’s #1 gym.

Always upgrading and a big cardio area .
instructors really make you feel comfortable.

Awesome gym!
Friendly staff, a little cluttered but I’ll forgive it, and I wish their TRX area was better.
But signed up for a membership and I like it.

Really good place!
A little bit more expensive than the most places in Brooklyn but come on guys!60 $ per month for unlimited gym that works 24 hours it not that much!
The most important thing for me in gym (after equipment they have of course) is a fresh air !

I been in many gym in Manhattan, Queens and New Jersey, I moved to Brooklyn almost a year ago, and enjoyed Harbor Fitness maybe 5 months ago.
Before I join this gym, I was a little worried, because it was back in Jan, and you know how it is, usually from Jan till March, many fat people make their New Year resolution to lose weight, and of course it never work, but they packed the gym. Yes, I said it, please don’t make your New Year resolution to lose weight, it will NEVER work, if you don’t tend to lose weight any other day, after New Year, it will not going to make any different, so please stop trying.
Now, let’s talk about the gym, this is probably the best gym I ever been to, in New York, and yes, it beats the gyms I went to in Queens and Manhattan, including the one in New Jersey.
They always have people cleaning the place up, everyday, usually in the morning/​afternoon.
They have sauna and a steam sauna, I love the steam sauna, is great.
I always tried to go in the morning around 10am-​11am and work out for couple of hours, and I also went during the rush hours which is between 5pm-​7pm, and I gotta say, is not bad at all, hardly have to wait for a machine. z
They also have childcare here, perfect for mom and dad that needs to drop their kids off for an hour or two to go workout here, and they have classes as well, many different ones, yoga, spinning, fitness and much much more.
The only downside I have is, the regular sauna in the men’s room, it broke few times, and making a really loud noise, and it happens for a few times, and they waited awhile to fix it, it can be really annoying sometimes.
Also one girl there needs to pay more attention, she once checking me in, and I asked for bottle of water, but she was too nosy to wondering what’s going on outside, she just walked away from me, and I complaint to her colleague, she did it before, I tried not to go to her during my visit because I might yell at her next time if she ever walk away from me again
I spoke to few guys in the gym, and they are are all very happy in this gym, they told me this gym here is much more better than the one down the street, the one down the street was so bad, they pretty much giving it away due to all the teens. I’m glad I join this gym here and will probably keep going to this gym until I have to move again, and if you are living in the area, this is definitely the gym to go to, but only if you are cool like everyone else that work out there, if you are stupid teens and meathead, go away. lol

Even though they have renovated this location they still lack proper maintenance on some of their equipment… For example the pistons on the leg press and hack squat constantly are getting dry do to dust and debris preventing the machines from working smoothly, other than that it’s a pretty decent gym. I should start bringing a can of WD40

This place is really going through the trouble of making their gym go-​ers happy with all the new renovations going on!
They have a jammed packed winter schedule so you have jump start yourself into your bikini body with classes like Zumba, yoga, spin, and total body work out. Their schedules are morning, noon, and night and are guaranteed to fit any lifestyle you have; no excuses not to work out!
Thanks to Marilyn R. for encouraging the girl at the front to give me a free week’s pass, I was able to really see how feasible it was to come here right after work and park — and it was!
All the machines you could want on two floors! Second floor is stocked with ellipticals, treadmills, smaller weights, and gazelle-​like machines. There’s TV’s everywhere, and their radio stations are really geared towards keeping you pumped and focused!
The women’s locker room is flawless! Clean, fulls stocked with towels and other essentials after a sweaty workout. Buy a locker and keep your gear there if you opt for the year plan.
Looks are deceiving on the outside — walk inside and see what I mean!
