    Unbelievable, This was her response and she's the director? Huh, wow has this gym changed.
    Markita F.

    Normally, I have a peace and a zen visit when I come to workout or use to do yoga here. But, on the 1st day of my swim class 3/7/21 I was treated like a criminal who snuck in to undress, use my locker with a lock to steal a day in the gym. I've been a member for some years now. I had 15 minutes to spare and already anxious I have a phobia/fear I'm trying to conquer ever since I had a friend drown when in high school. I lost my trust for the water. Dee (a woman with a one letter name apparently?) Stopped me at the desk and said my card wasn't registering. I told her I would be late for my class can we handle it after because it comes off my credit card automatically, so I knew it was an error on their part because I had just been there a week prior with no problem during the week. Reluctantly, and begrudgingly with major attitude she brushes me off and away literally with her hand. I'm extremely nervous now even more on edge. Another woman Heidi who's apparently in an upper position (let me know) and appoaches me while I'm on tbe edge of the pool trying not to feel like I might die with a piece of crinkly paper and her outside shorts (very unprofessional looking btw) B lines for me, "WHO ARE YOU?" She's now rushing out instructor who was kind and patient and this Heidi comes back only to me now. What's your name?. I can barely hear with my cap on mind you. He was gonna let us stay on tbe other side, but apparently her 3 toddler students take precedent over his 6 or 7 struggling full price paying adults.. We get out because she said we had to even though there was a few minutes left just tacky. She comes to me again (only me) I dont have you on my list and asks my name again. How is she only coming to me I'm confused how do you know it's not someone else here? Dee sent her obviously but their both playing games now. I told her my name 3 or 4 times now she want ms me to spell. It didn't even look like there was anything on the paper. Why just me again? She says well you won't be let in again and then said I HAVE A NASYY ATTITUDE in front of the entire room. But, a minute ago you were so worried about your class of 3 toddlers. I went back to the desk to try and reason with Dee and explain to her about my anxiety and having some sensitivity. It went from bad to worse both of these women accused me of having attitude and I'm the one being harrassed because of their ego. I PAID FAITHFULLY THROUGH OUT THE PANDEMIC CLOSURE when there was an option to opt out with no complaints because I didn't want the gym to close. SUNDAY THERE'S NO BOSS AND IT SHOWS. Super turned off and annoyed. HORRIBLE 1ST LESSON DAY! Thanks Arverne YMCA I ABSOLUTELY HATED MY 1ST DAY

    The supposed overcrowding must have been a result of the hype around the brand new facility.

    Awesome neighborhood gym Owner is very involved and always…read morelooking to help Boxing classes are top notch with coach Gee Oh. He takes the time to teach and train you. Highly recommend the gym and especially Boxing classes

    Wow. One week of being a member at Burn Fitness , during COVID. I was a little nervous going back…read moreto the gym. This gym definitely took my anxiety away. Not only are they following COVID guidelines, they are going ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure the cleanliness at this facility. They disinfect every night. EVERY NIGHT! I know because they post it on social media! If that's still not enough for you, there are disinfectant sprays available for members to use, in every direction you turn. People are mindful of spacing and are kind enough to say Hello. Everyone wears an actual mask and temperature is taken when you enter the doors. Working out is not a hobby, it's a part of living a healthy lifestyle. With all the motivating quotes posted on the walls and the positive energy coming from the Small Business owner, this has now become my happy place. They also contribute to many local businesses and are currently helping with ToysforTots, by gathering as many toy donations to give to kids. This is the kind of place I want to be in during these times of uncertainty. This is where I can interact safely with people and have fun taking care of my mental, emotional and PHYSICAL health. Thank you Burn Fitness.
