Quest Gym and Pool

Greedy, money hungry owners. Dated unclean facilities.

Fortunately, I did not get the chance to join this gym. Today, my partner and I went to inquire as to memberships. The (Russian?) manager/​owner greeted us very rudely. We mentioned we were looking at the price list. His response, «yea, price list… so what!» We figured our first interactions with this man were not smooth perhaps because of a cultural difference or language barrier, but his offensive behavior continued. On the price list we saw «Family pack 3 & up.» When we inquired, he yelled «No discount! Lot of people. No discount. Always full. Lot of people!» However, there was not one soul at the gym other than the rude «manager/​owner.» We pointed to the family pack sign and he yelled once again «no family pack!» At that point we just went for the door to the tune of him mocking us with «family pack! ha!» We could’ve responded by mentioning his lack of hygiene (he smelled terribly) and that of the gym’s as well, but chose not to as we never again have to deal with this rude man.
I generally try to experience things for myself and give people the benefit of the doubt, and I did with Quest. However, all adverse posts on here are merited. Definitely not a place I would like to support with my money.

I would give this gym zero star if I could. The gym is beyond tiny and outdated. The swimming pool was what brought me to join. The pool is filthy! On top of these, the people who work at the front desk seem so bored and tired all the time — just the energy you want before a good workout, eh?

one word: GROSSS… I end it up in the doctor with an awful bladder infection and I couldn’t put my finger how something like that could happen, until I return to the gym the following week to find it closed by the health department. I will never go back to that pigsty.

Quest gym and pool has been in the neighborhood for a couple of years now. They are located in the basement of a pain management clinic and is right off the 75^th Ave. stop on the f Train.
Being in Forest Hills, it is the sole pool accessible to the public. The prices are cheap compared to Bally’s or NYSC but you get what you pay for.
There are two locker rooms, each with approximately 20 lockers and in the men’s room, lockers are broken weekly. The showers are often out of soap.
Recent complaints include a broken floor (fixed after 3 weeks) in the female shower (only 2 in there) and the management has had no inclination to make things better.
The pool has recently been closed an average of once every two weeks and the only notice you will get is a sign on the front door if you are lucky, The pool was even shut down by the dept. of health this week.
What you are really paying for is the free weights portion. You will never have an issue with this section of the gym. The music is pumping, the people keep to themselves and there is plenty to do between the treadmills and the machines.
If you came here solely for the pool, I hope you have a car and can drive further to find some place more reliable.
Update***-I let my membership expire. Still a dump***

To find a gym in NYC with a pool is extremely difficult; to find one that is affordable is even harder. QUEST has a gym and a pool at a price point that is great for everyone.
I just joined three weeks ago so this review is for first impression. The gym is located right next to the Japanese Restaurant on 75^th and Queens BLVD. It’s down in the basement.
When you first come in, you have to sign in via a POS pad and your picture showed up. On the right are the machines and free weight. They have enough exercise equipment to give you a good workout. There are 3 treadmills, two elipticals, and 4 bikes for aerobic exercise. There is also a massage machine (you have to pay for the minutes).
However, what I am looking for at Quest is the pool. The pool is clean. Management requires cap and shower before entering the pool. They sell caps in case you forget. The length of the ppol is decent so that you can actually swim laps. It can get busy during the rush hours though.
If you’re looking for NY Sports Club or Bally’s, this isn’t it. But if you’re looking for a place with equipment and a pool to do your exercise, you can’t beat Quest. I paid around $ 300 a year membership. I believe NY Sports Club is $ 85 per month right now. Bally’s a little cheaper.
