    Great gym with lots of different equipment for every body part , crowded at times but the amount of…read moreequipment and overall size of the gym it's still never a problem, Young friendly staff with great personal trainers.

    My wife went in this weekend with the intention to join the gym. It took forever for her to get…read moresomeone to speak with her, and then they gave her attitude when she asked for a tour. She finally got pricing and said she would go over it with her husband (me, since we were considering joining together) and come back tomorrow. When she went back the next day, she was told to wait for someone to meet with her. After waiting for an obscene amount of time, she asked to speak with a manager. The receptionist told her that nobody was available. She left her name and number for a MANAGER to call her back. Someone called her back an hour or so later - it was not a manager. By this time she could not return to the club to sign up and asked if they would honor the holiday weekend pricing if she came in the next day. She was told no but she could sign up over the phone. My wife informed them that she could not read the contract over the phone. They basically said "too bad." Bottom line, she did not join. The customer service there is awful. Had my wife been treated with some respect she would have signed up. It's a shame because the price was decent and the amenities (including a pool) seem to be pretty good, though reading some of the other reviews, I'm beginning to think this was a blessing in disguise.

    NYSC in Nesconset has a gym bully who goes by the name of Andrew or "Andy" for short. He is a white…read moremale about 5'10" who usually wears a black tshirt, gray sweatpants, a black Yankee hat, and over ear wireless headphones (photo attached). "Andy" does not work at NYSC, but you wouldn't know that if you saw him at the gym. He hangs out at the "Fitness Help" station and approaches everyone in the middle of their work outs, more often than not to insult, intimidate, or police their behavior. This morning I was in the middle of my squat set, and he chastised me to "put the weights back on the rack." In the middle of my set. I was confused and asked if he worked there. He said no. I watched him circumnavigate the gym floor over the next hour, interrupting and policing others' work outs. When I said something to the man at the front desk, he told me "yeah that's Andy, he's been coming here for years." I was perplexed as to why the staff was allowing this man to masquerade as a NYSC employee and badger their paying customers. NYSC corporate should be aware that this man is harassing their members. I am cancelling my membership to ALL NYSC/BSC/WSC locations and am telling my friends to do the same. I will not return so long as "Andy" is at the gym policing everyone's workouts.

    I canceled my membership prior to Covid. You then continue to charge me. Eventually we worked…read morethis out. But you still spam my phone with an unlisted number. Calling me every 3 to 4 days. What a crappy gym. I should have stuck with LA fitness. At least they only email me and with a good offer. But I'm not going back for a few years. I do not wish to hear from your gym again. Stop the spamming!

    Great workout. So much fun. Awesome hours! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to get in shaperead more

    One day I decided to see what this Orangetheory Fitness was all about. I walked in and I was…read moregreeted by a lovely staff. Unfortunately I suck at remembering names. Anyway she had set me up to come back for a free class. The very next day I took a class with Coach Sarah. Oh boy was that class intense. I walked out there like WTH was that. Somehow I signed up with Makayla. Now I'm thinking Jatara why would you sign up you know you don't work out often. I went home and told me husband that I signed up for Orangetheory and he laughed. Six months later as I write this Review Orange Theory has truly changed my life. I love the fact the you can attend any Orangetheory in the world still brings music to my ears especially us Yelpers who are always traveling. I love the whole concept about splat points and staying in the Orange (hint that's why it's called Orange Theory) So basically you need to get 12 or more splat points by staying in the Orange zone, if you reached 12 or more points by the end of your 60 minute workout you will burn 20% of the calories you burn throughout the day. So that's Orangetheory in a nutshell. You are never in competition with anyone but yourself. At this particular location the staff and the coaches are awesome. I usually attend the 5:00 am class, the head Coach Melissa usually teaches that class or Danny. Melissa is awesome no matter where she is she can see what's going on and assist you if you are not doing it right which most of the time I'm not (that's why I'm there, much needed guidance). I know people complaint about the prices but I think it's worth every penny, you get the workout that you need and the attention of a coach to teach you how to do it correctly. Your basically paying for a personal training all in one. I love how this location is so personal it makes you feel like you are part of a family. I'm still quite and really don't speak much because I'm just not in a speaking mood at 5am. Well actually all the location make you feel like part of a family. I'm always at some other location, but this is my home gym and because of them I'm addicted to Orangetheory Fitness. At this location I took classes with Head Coach Melissa, Danny, Sarah and Emily. There are other location I have been to and I literally avoid going at certain times because of some coaches playlist yes playlist, you need good music to workout and these coaches here always have a good playlist, but for Stony Brook it doesn't matter who I sign up with or what time I go. I'm getting quality coaching from all and a great playlist. I like the fact that they keep is fun and challenging at the same time. They use IG that's Instagram ( which is new to me ) to keep us updated on all the events and other stuff happening for that month. They also have a app so you can book your classes in advance and see your progress as well. So bottom line, do I recommend OTF? Absolutely!!!!!!
