"This place is huge, clean and my son loves basketball and swimming. The staff is nice and respectful"

"Go to another gym. It’s $69 a month and the gym is average at best. You can barely get a discount if you’re not living in the area or if you’re not a city employee. It’s old as hell inside and nothing is updated, the pics used are old. Please don’t be fooled! It’s far from transportation, only buses available are the B83 and B82/82-SBS. The pool is almost always used by kids apart of the swim club, so there’s only a lane or two for the gym goers. The sauna and steam rooms rarely work. The bathroom needs to be renovated, the ceiling is caving in and has the brown residue from water pooling. The showers are old. With all of the money they get, the infrastructure of the gym should have been remodeled. When I first joined two years ago, I thought the gym was okay but there are better gyms around. Go somewhere else, like Equinox where I will be going since I canceled my membership. Management is non existent. I also got tired of some of the men who treat the place like a hangout. Not worth the price at all. Also, some of the members have terrible attitudes. Wasn’t worth it to me and I won’t miss it."

"First day here and everything went well. The sign up process was smooth, the facility was clean and not too crowded. There's tons of amenities like a swimming pool, basketball court and sauna! The fitness area had all of the equipment necessary for a great workout, from strength training to cardio. As a plus there's also a free parking lot for members! I highly recommend this gym, no complaints at all."

"A Comprehensive Review of Brooklyn Sports Club: Your Ultimate Fitness Destination As someone who actively seeks out exceptional health and fitness facilities, I was thrilled to explore the Brooklyn Sports Club. Having now experienced its many features firsthand, I can confidently state that it lives up to its promise of helping its members "live better". From the moment you step into the 100,000 square foot facility, you're met with an air of excitement and energy that's infectious. The Brooklyn Sports Club provides a comprehensive range of facilities that cater to diverse fitness needs and preferences. The fitness floor, spanning over 10,000 square feet, is equipped with state-of-the-art gear from renowned brands like Keiser, Precor, and Gym Rax. This expansive area with top-notch equipment makes it stand out from many other exercise facilities, providing ample space and tools to get a well-rounded workout. The swimming facilities are a particular highlight. The 25-yard indoor lap pool, boasting six lanes, is one of the largest in NYC. It's ideal for both serious swimmers and those who wish to unwind after a strenuous workout. There's also a dedicated training pool for aqua aerobics, perfect for those who prefer a low-impact, yet effective workout. I was particularly impressed by the kiddie pool area – a safe, fun space for young ones to splash around and enjoy their first swimming lessons. Speaking of lessons, Brooklyn Sports Club offers a host of instructional classes. I was fortunate to work with Jordan, one of their swimming instructors, who was patient, dedicated, and highly effective in helping me improve my swimming skills. His expertise and commitment to his students are commendable. The club also boasts indoor and outdoor basketball courts, catering to sports enthusiasts who enjoy a friendly game or a competitive match. The outdoor sun deck with a partial awning is an excellent space to relax and catch some sun during the summer. Martial arts and boxing classes for both youth and adults add a unique and dynamic touch to the club's offerings. The boxing studio was a personal favorite of mine, providing an excellent opportunity to learn new skills and blow off some steam. The five group exercise studios offer a variety of classes – from strength and cardio to mind and body workouts. The personal training and small group training options ensure that everyone can find a workout routine that suits their individual needs and goals. The locker rooms are spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with steam rooms and saunas for post-workout relaxation. The additional facilities like the children's party space and meeting room rentals add a community-friendly touch to the club. Convenience is also a significant factor in the club's favor. With free on-site parking and a location just off the Belt Parkway, it's easily accessible and hassle-free to visit. In summary, the Brooklyn Sports Club offers an exceptional fitness experience. It's more than just a gym – it's a comprehensive health hub that caters to the whole family. The combination of top-tier facilities, a wide range of classes, expert trainers, and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere makes it a standout choice for anyone looking to exceed their fitness goals. I wholeheartedly recommend swinging by and booking a tour – seeing is believing, and I am sure you'll be as impressed as I was. The Brooklyn Sports Club is not just a fitness facility; it's a community, a lifestyle, and much more."
