It's a freaking YMCA. I live right there. I don't get how people get in.

The poor wouldn't like using this facility, but the Ridgewood…read more This is a pretty cool YMCA, and the main problem here is parking. Also it's a little bit cramped and gets a little bit busy in some regards but overall I like the place and they think it's a good gym - better than a lot of the ones in Queens and Brooklyn as well. Not as lavish and fancy as Manhattan but then you wouldn't expect to be. They've done a good job for Ridgewood and if they just had some great parking then I would probably give them five stars. Fairly new equipment across the board kind of like mine. I parked illegally for 3 hours and nothing happened to my car, but the fact that there was no legal parking (and I looked for a long time) is the only reason I can't give 5. One of the employees had a crush on me, and it was mutual. She gets 5, easy. I guess I'm easy, too.

I open the place with the early regulars, and it's clear a lot of thought went into the redesign. The facility is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of cardio machines, a solid mix of free weights and resistance machines, and open space to move. The layout on the main floor just makes sense. The downstairs locker area has been nicely updated--modern lockers, a sauna, and hydromassage chairs that add a spa-like touch. There's a dedicated studio space for group classes; my daughter loves the Barre classes, but heads-up: spots fill quickly, so plan ahead. This place has become a dependable part of my routine--convenient, professional, and a cut above what it used to be. If you're looking for a gym that gets better with time, Impact delivers.

The space is clean AF (they've got people cleaning constantly), loaded with equipment, and has everything you could want -- from heavy lifts to cardio. Bonus points for the rower and Echo bike, which most gyms don't have, and the TVs constantly show athletes crushing it in every sport from MMA to CrossFit. The staff here are seriously friendly. The energy is unreal -- everyone's focused, but it never feels intimidating. Hit this place regularly and you'll catch the real sense of community. It can get packed right at 5PM when everyone gets off work but that understandable. If you're in Bushwick and ready to leave the commercial gym life behind, this is the spot.

The gym is fairly large with the locker rooms being in the basement area, depending on the day and time, you might get lucky like me and not have to wait a second on someone using a machine. It's a nice spacious area, however my main complaint is upkeep. The staff seems relatively unattentive in the gym and the etiquette of said gym goers shows for it. Majority of the free weights were unracked, I felt that I needed to at least place them back where they're supposed to be because no one else is doing it and half of the cleaning stations were out of paper towel. No one should have to walk across half of the gym to get cleaning supplies. C'mon staff, GET IT TOGETHER! Other than that, a fine place especially when it's not flooded with people.

Think about how gross that is. I can't imagine how many people have gotten skin rashes from this place. I know I have. The frustrating part is this is such an easy fix: just order more paper towels, and get better about restocking the dispensers. It's not rocket science and it's extremely low effort. The problem is, no one cares. The manager is (somehow) not empowered to order any supplies or make any changes. There is an owner who apparently is the only person who is able to address anything in the gym, but good luck getting in touch with with them. I've left at least a dozen notes and emails asking the owner to contact me specifically about safety and hygiene issues, and they can't be bothered to reach out. And no one at the gym is able to do anything. Yes, the owner is ignoring messages about safety and hygiene at their gym. They can't be bothered to lift a finger even for a safety issue. Aside from how frustrating and gross this is, it's actually legitimately funny how inept this place is. For extra credit, they are unable to keep the mens locker room stocked with enough soap. Combine no wiping down machines, along with inadequate soap in bathroom.....nasty. But try getting ANYONE at this gym to care or do anything about it. I've no joke brought this up at least 50 times with them. I bring it up in person, I call, I email. Nothing has been done. No effort has been made. And also, every single person working there knows this is an issue, they can't claim they are unaware. They know. They just don't care. Too bad there's no health inspection for gyms. In case you think I'm just some nut who's tripping about nothing, check out their reviews on google. You'll see the exact same complaint: this place is unhygienic, and they can't be bothered to lift a finger about it.

I don't think I've complained about any machines that I couldn't find in any of the locations I've been to. My minor grievance if anything is that the free weights could be re-racked better but that's just my OCD triggering me because it's not like I've had any challenge finding my ideal weight to lift. I had a bit of problem finding the location at first but for those wondering where it is, it's pretty deep in the first floor of a parking lot and the size of the place took me by surprise. I believe you'll find what you're looking for depending on what you want to work on. The Smoothie bar is always dependable for a post workout treat.

Person told me to find the original email so I can prove that I canceled on such and such a date. Cancelation policy is you must give 45 days notice so you get charged two months before your cancelation is effective. Not one cycle but add an extra 15 days so you have to pay TWO months. Said you still liable tor two months and it will effect you credit rating as they will send it to collections. With this type cancelation hassle, why join at all? Cant cancel over the phone or in person, have to send email which is not a great form of communications. They give you the email address which you may type in incorrectly. Non professional, snippy customer service, a testament to the lack of training where they are trying to cut costs and wrench every nickel out of their business system from customers and their own employees.
