Healthworks, Corning, NY Earlier this year I was having a…read moreproblem with my blood sugar being out of control. I made an appointment with Guthrie Endocrinology where I was told I couldn't get into an endocrinologist for 9 months and advised I get counseling in the interim. I was referred to Healthworks. I sat down with a consular who gave me some tips on how to lose weight and change my diet. The initial session was 1 hour long with the latter 15 minutes showing me recipes etc. The subsequent 2nd visit was going over everything I did wrong since I lost a whole 1/2 lb. This time running out of things to talk about, so just showing me websites. I realized I wasn't getting the help I needed and went to Southern PA for a more knowledgeable person, which I then lost 33 lbs. I then cancelled the rest of the visits. The problem is I was charged over $1200 for these 2 visits, which showed up in my eguthrie account. My insurer (BCBS) flagged these 2 visits and did not pay most of this, leaving me with the charges. Initial visit was $673.00 and second was $550.00. I am contending these visits are simply not worth this and excessively charged, and why did I need an hour for the visit? So look out, my insurer paid about ¼ of these charges. Lastly, the billing was done in an obscure way, listing this as therapy for an entirely different doctor. Never mentioning Healthworks nor counseling, nor the name of this counselor, opting to call it therapy with an endocrinologist.

Healthworks Wellness & Fitness Center is a multi-faceted facility that has just about everything a gym and rehabilitation facility needs, all under one room. This review is for the gym only. Healthworks also offers other services, like babysitting and bone density testing, I haven't tried these services out. The employees, although not southern hospitality friendly, always said hi. A few seem to recognize regulars. The pools always seemed very clean and were never too busy. Aquatics classes were only scheduled in one pool at a time, which was good for people who don't plan their day around the Healthworks calendar. I never attended any aerobics or spinning classes. Two stars because the membership issue was not my only major complaint with Healthworks. While I was an active member I expressed my disapproval with the amount of nudity in the locker room. Saggy old men, walking around in their birthday suits, socializing nude, watching the news au naturel, sitting on the benches without a towel bare ass naked. I mean really, sitting naked on a practicably public bench without a towel underneath you? Were they relying on the good health of everyone else's genitals? or did they just not care? Anyway, I'm pretty sure this is a health code violation, but nothing changed even after I talked with the receptionist. Two stars because the nudity was too much; the machines are dated, weight machines AND treadmills; the nudity, and of course they won't let me stop paying their membership fee. Overall I would not rejoin this health club, although the building and facade has a modern look, it has been too much of a hassle, just a less than mediocre experience all around. For the price I have not heard anyone rave about the Guthrie owned Heathworks Wellness & Fitness Center.

I can't believe I gave the corning center a good review the frist time. There are only a few pepole that are very special and concerned about the quality the residents receive the others are just there for the paycheck. I appreciate the ones who do care like Tazz, Melissa,ravon, Brandon and a couple others. I am very disappointed and trying my hardest to get him out of there. Someone in corporate should and needs to look in to it or contact me directly!!!

This is a place you send your parents if you hate them and you want them to die. My mother spent…read morethree months here, and she had to be taken to the ER at the end. She was SEVERELY MALNOURISHED and completely disoriented. I heard a staff member refer to my mother by name once in three months. She was found by me and other family members in the most disgusting conditions you can imagine: 1. filthy dirty, in clothes she'd been in for days 2. bedding disgusting, covered with food (she was really sick and could not do much of anything) 3. in her own waste products which she was desperately trying to remove herself. She said "I feel like a person again" when she was changed by our caregiver, whom we hired to advocate for her. That person saved her life. 4. alone alone alone-- I read they spend fewer than 20 min a day per patient. They mostly seem to watch videos at the desk or stand around chatting. There is one very humane person here---the financial person. She is lovely. Otherwise? Good luck. You would do better to place your loved one in the middle of a public park and hope for the best. [I read this to my husband, who said "I don't think it is strong enough]

But creating an environment where you feel comfortable, where you feel cared for, where your input is valued is just as vital to your success.

It is hands down, the best, at a great price. You can get a couples massage or do a single, I've done a couples massage even with a friend so we can chat for a little, but then we fell asleep anyways. The rooms are softly lit, the ambient music puts you at ease and then you start your massage with the best people. They are so so friendly and focus exactly where you want them to. Legit favorite part is when you're on your back and they do your neck and rub your head, ASLEEP. They work out the kinks, the knots, and answer your questions if you ask. They will keep conversation or just stay quiet and let you rest - whatever you want. I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone interested in gifting or getting a massage. You won't be disappointed.
