Lucille Roberts – Flushing

Some of them are so rude and do not show respect to people. They are nice when you still their member, but actually they do not treat you well when you cancel it!!! In addition, they have roach， not so clean. Can I also say the the amazing photos on the Unilocal is not real???

I have been there for two months. It is really small and dirty. I saw cockroaches several times. Besides they are rude to people.
They do not have registration fee, but When u try to cancel membership, u will be charged for 15dollars extra. Or u have to cancel membership more than one month early.
So if u have other choice, do not go there.

Smallest gym ever!!! There are times you have to wait 45min for a machine and be aware you can’t use a machine for more than 45min if there’s a high demand that want to use it. They make you sign a wait list. Fir the classes it’s the same issue… You can’t even move and if you are not super early you are left with no equipment to work out for the class. I didn’t enjoy this gym at all.

So I’ve been coming to this gym for about 3.5 months now. I usually come 2 – 3 times a week after work. For the first time I forgot to bring my card. I found out I left it in my other jacket at home. I called to ask if it’s possible for me to come in without the card. They told me yes I just need to bring my ID with me. The girls were really friendly and sweet. In fact they have always greeted me when I come in. I was surprised indeed. I looked online and saw a review that they made this member pay $ 10 to work out without the card. She didn’t lose the card she just forgot to bring it. Maybe this happened at another location. When I called I thought they were gonna tell me the same thing but they didn’t. I totally would recommend this gym. It’s clean. Machines are pretty new. It does get crowded most of the time when I come. But overall this gym is good.

Amazing gym … Everything is now updated and clean and their classes are amazing also the front desk girls are super friendly and very helpful

I’ve been a member of Lucille Roberts for 1.5 years already and a lot of things have changed, since then. The first time I came here, a lot of the equipment was really outdated and there was a babysitting section, which was converted into and merged with an existing locker room. LR has updated its equipment to give members a more efficient and effective workout.
The lower level where the classes are held has also been remodeled, and instead of what used to be a drab looking gray carpet, now consists of a modern and chic wooden floor. Classes are almost always full and instructors are always enthusiastic and motivational.
Lucille Roberts is slightly improving day by day and it is more evident when different health companies would stop by to occasionally offer free samples of their products, such as tablets, water, energy drinks, etc,. There’s also free one-​week guest passes that you could give your friends so that they can work out with you. Four of my friends have had memberships here.
For the price, LR offers a lot. However, more different varieties of equipment rather than the standard cardio stuff, an updated music playlist, free wifi (?), and different TV channels would be nice and make the experience a whole lot better.

I love Lucille! This particular branch is clean. People are respectful and kind to everyone.
Their Zumba classes will burn your fats and keep you goin for more! Lol… and the instructors are great. I recommend you attend the 5:30pm class, nothing against other classes but I just like the routine better.
The all women concept of this gym make it ideal to commit in your healthier lifestyle. Having another woman doing cardio beside you is more fun than doing it at home, you don’t feel alone and there’s a constant competition that will push you further. It is inspiring to see your gym classmate toning which will help you commit more to reach your goal. Plus not to forget of the comfort you get at the locker not thinking of anything or any men seeing you.
Also I’d like to point out that when you are out of shape it is kind of embarrassing to work out in front of man. I guess it’s a woman thing.
I lost a few pounds already on my few weeks.
With their excellent equipments and programs for sure you’ll succeed too!

Why does this place have such horrible reviews?! I’ve been coming to this gym for 3 years and this particular location for about 2 years.
This has to be my favorite location in Queens. It’s rarely ever crowded and it’s always clean. In the last 2 years they have renovated this place about 3 times. Got new machines, painted the walls, changed the carpets, etc. I always come here from 11am-​1pm and I have never had to wait for a machine. They have everything I need for my legs, biceps and triceps, so I have no complaints with this gym.
The staff is so sweet and friendly and I absolutely love their customer service. If you want to cancel your membership, let them know a month in advance, and if you want it canceled on the spot, there’s only a small fee of $ 10.
The only thing I don’t like about this gym is their hours. They close around 4pm on weekends and I absolutely hate that! Other than that, I would recommend everyone try this place out.

Been going to this gym for 3 years, and over the years the gym has gotten a lot better after the renovation. My favorite thing about this gym is that it’s all girls and the Zumba classes here are amazingly fun. Recently, they started opening at 7am which works out a lot better for when I want to get a quick work out in before work!

I recently joined and got the gold membership so I can go to any location gym I want. I live near flushing so I want to use this one on the weekends. I use the forest hills on weekdays because it’s close to my college and work. I bring my sister she’s 12 now and I want to sign her as a guest because weekends I babysit. I come in and sign in and I say she’s my sister and the woman at the front desk folds her hands and makes a face and gives me an attitude and says kids aren’t allowed to hang around and I’m like… Okay I thought I could and she said yea you could if you sign her as a guest so I said ok can I and she said well I need photo ID and obviously I didn’t have one on me. She said to bring in anything like a birth certificate or something, so I asked if a health insurance card was okay and I didn’t give an attitude at all, towards the end of the conversation she quit the attitude act cause people started to come in and she started to act like she was talking and working touching papers… Very unprofessional. I don’t even want to come back anymore. Like what the fuck was the attitude for? And doing it in front of someone you all a «kid»? Great example to set for a minor.

Not a bad place to work out. The price is cheap and it is conveniently located which is the reason why i chose this place. Its not high end but then i dont want to spend the money for equinox price gyms. It is all women. The classes are usually very full. I try to arrive a few minutes early to claim a spot. However, ive never not been able to take a class because there is too many people. I enjoy the classes and the instructors. The bathroom is no good. Ive never used their toilets or showers because without even trying them, i already suspect they are gross so i just go home to clean up. The point is i go in to get my workout done. Its not high end but it gets the job done for me. I would like to mention one nasty thing about this place that made me decrease its star rating by another one. These crooks are dishonest. They charged me twice for registration fee when i signed up for membership and though i called their corporate office twice to ask for the money back, it is now november 2016 and i still havent gotten anything back. The corporate told me that the check has been processed and mailed out. But i dont think so because i have not received them and according to their records, the money hasnt been cashed. I think this gym is just like other gyms too ~ dishonest and wont refund money that they rightfully should. I will continue to seek them out until i get my money.

I want to give them 0 stars if I could. i was a gym membership for 2 month and I called them asking for cancel my membership but the lady on the phone said she dose canceled my membership but after few months I got email that she lied and they kept taking money from my card. they’re no responsibility

I’m so glad that I’ve started coming here. I work in Manhattan so I purposely joined Lucille Roberts to use the Grand Central location but most of the time I’m more in the mood to get on the train to get back to Flushing.
The Zumba instructors on Tuesday (both the 5:30pm and 6:30pm classes) are AWESOME. I’ve taken a lot of Zumba classes with many different instructors and I would say that these two are easily in my top 5! Such great energy and I can let lose with room to dance (as many of us know, floor space is a rarity in NYC)!
Another positive about having hourly classes is that it frees up the machines while they are in session. After/​before working out, I’m able to use the weight machines freely because most people are downstairs. The equipment works well and the staff is very helpful on showing people how to use them properly to get the best out of your workout.
The only negative thing is that nobody uses locks! It’s annoying because you’ll spend 10 minutes in the locker room searching lockers that you THINK are free. Luckily there are plenty of lockers downstairs in the dance room, it’s just somewhat inconvenient if you want to change in the locker room.

Don’t go this gym. Place is packed and u won’t have place to do personal work out. U can only use machine or take class. Class is even more packed. And you need to give ur space when there is paid personal training. So basically if u want to running on the machine then u can come. But you cant even get What u paid.

I walked in for a trial while hunting for a gym in the area, and walked right out. No matter how cheap the membership might be, I won’t lose a penny to the very, very outdated, small, unsanitary, and unmotivated classes they have here. Sorry, not sorry.

They got new machines!!! Yay!!! Staff is very friendly and gym is clean. I wish they opened up earlier and closed later on weekends. Price is right and I can’t complain about that.

I’ve been a member of this gym, on and off, for a few years now. Honestly, the only reason I keep coming back is because of it’s location (downtown Main St.) and price ($ 20 a month, 1 dollar sign up fee). Everything else is pretty much a joke. Here’s why:
–Extremely crowded especially during class sessions!!! Classes are so packed that equipment such as mats and steps often run out even before the class begins. On the floor, people are barely at an arm’s length away from each other
–Instructors are unprofessional and often late for no discernible reason
–Sign ups are required to use treadmills and ellipticals and can only be used for 30 minute blocks! What’s worse is that people often sign up for multiple time slots and don’t use the machines they sign up for preventing others from using them.
–Small locker room area. Not enough lockers so they had to place them all around the gym and downstairs in the basement.
–Lockers are prone to theft. I’ve heard from many people that their belongings have been stolen even when secured with heavy duty locks
–Very little variety with exercise classes and for some reason, there’s a Zumba obsession at Lucille Robert’s gyms. There are days where it’s scheduled back to back and pretty much every day there’s at least one class for Zumba. I mean, I like Zumba but why do we have to do Zumba all the time?!
–Showers are tiny; I rarely see anyone showering because no one wants to put up with the space issue…
–Only 3 bathrooms in the locker room that are often unclean and lacking toilet paper
–On many occasions, there was no soap in the soap dispenser.
–Last but not least, it is the biggest pain in the ass to cancel a membership here. I’ve pretty much had to cancel a few credit cards in the past because I kept on getting charged. Even the no-​commitment memberships are annoying and require you to cancel 2 months in advanced so basically if you don’t know if you want to cancel 2 months ahead of time, you’re going to end up paying a month extra.
You get exactly what you pay for at Lucille Roberts, which is pretty much nothing except the very bare essentials. The only reason to join this LR location is 1) if you live in or near downtown Main St. and have no other options 2) you don’t desire paying more than 20 dollars per month for a gym. If none of these describe you, I’d advise you to not waste your time nor money here!

Weekend hours are just a disappointment. What’s up with closing the gym at 3:00PM Saturday and Sundays when people are generally off those days to come in?
At $ 16/​month, I guess I get what I paid for. Most of the weight machines are old, and padding are all greasy and worn out. The free weights are limited. The locker rooms only have 3 showers and 3 toilets and it gets packed in there with sweaty women hovering over each other for the lockers.
The Cardio machines need to be reserved on a chart they have out at the table up front with half hour intervals. What annoys me is the «1 wipe per person» limitation for the disinfectant wipes… really?
I guess I keep going for the classes. There are a sufficient variety of classes which I appreciate and it’s enough to get me sweating. AND THEY ARE FUN. Once I’m finished with a classes though, I’m usually out of there.
I’d like to see weekend hours extended to atleast 5pm. Old weight machines replaced with new and improved ones and a cleaner locker room.

I came in for a $ 12 two week trial about a year ago and did not sign any membership contract. Having been the victim of fraudulent gym business practices in the past, I consciously did not provide my private banking information or social security number. So it was a surprise to receive a call from this gym yesterday saying that I owe 300+ in back fees. When I tried to stated that while I did come in for a trial but never signed a contract, the woman repeadetly stated «.but you are a member».
I’ve already filed a complaint with the BBB but will also speak to my local police precinct in Flushing about bringing criminal charges against them as well. Reading past reviews I know others have been in a similar situation so please DM me if you are interested in pursuing this together.

I recently joined Lucille Roberts in an effort to tone up my body since as an actress– my body is my business card. This location happens to be really close to where I live and after being a member of unisex gyms, I decided to give an all ladies gym a try.
I have been pleasantly surprised by this location. It’s small, but gets the job done. There is one front desk girl who is very sweet and friendly. They offer lots of classes, open houses, and promotions. There are showers in the locker room and they also offer babysitting at certain times of the day.
I didn’t think this gym would have so many members, but it does! I decided to work out in the morning since I figured most people would be at work. Yet even in the morning, the sign up sheets for a machine is a must! The morning classes also tend to have lots of attenders. So I’ve resolved not to workout in the evening– I imagine it must be packed!
The facilities are clean and lockers are always available. Make sure you bring your own water, towel, and master lock. The water they sell is $ 2 and it tastes funny. They are also very helpful here. If you don’t know how to use a machine, don’t hesitate to ask! I’ve seen the front desk girl very kindly show members how to use certain machines.
They do have TVs you can watch while on the machines but they don’t have a plug in so you can hear it like other gyms. They play good music too, although I’ve noticed that in the morning, they mostly play high energy spanish music. I bring my own tunes anyway, but it gets old when I do weights considering its the same songs every morning.
The classes are great and the instructors really push you– in a good way! I really love the interval classes. I haven’t done Zumba yet, but I’m really looking forward to it.
And the bottom line is Lucille Roberts is affordable and offers no contract memberships. A gym is a gym. You get out of it what you put into it.
