I have achieved goals that I thought were a figure of my imagination, I've met new friends, and have gain self-confidence like never before. Thank you EJ and John for all of your hard work, dedication, and genuine concern about our goals and overall health. Although I understand that I have plenty of room for improvement, I know that I'll achieve each movement and strength component with y'alls guidance. You make me want to work out after long days in the office, which was never the case. I sincerely appreciate everything that y'all have done and am excited for what the future has in store for me. Cheers to you, as well as a fantastic business operation, and many more prosperous years together. -Greg

've tried many gyms over the years, I'm 53, and none have held my interest too long…read more Here's the difference, the people. The coaches at Empire State care. They work with you individually to learn the workouts. They modify the workouts to allow you to not feel overwhelmed with all the new exercises. I've never really done much with free weights so I had (have) a lot to learn and the coaches make it a pleasure. The place is not fancy by any stretch but if you want to get in shape check it out!!!!

This place is an absolute dump. What used to be a great gym is now a filthy, overheated scam run by…read moresomeone more interested in Instagram clout than actual coaching. The equipment is disgusting, the bathrooms are vile, and there's zero effort put into cleanliness or basic upkeep. There's not even air conditioning. Don't fall for the outdated Google or Facebook reviews -- most are from years ago and completely irrelevant. The owner posts recycled photos of long-gone members to fake a sense of community that no longer exists. Meanwhile, they film you during workouts for free advertising, not to help you improve. Pricing is shady and random. You'll likely pay more than someone else for the same membership, and they bill every 28 days, meaning 13 payments a year instead of 12. I've had multiple billing disputes and am now filing with my credit card company because the owners won't even respond to emails. Nearly all the coaches and members with any value have left. This isn't a gym anymore -- it's a money pit wrapped in sweat, dust, and lies. Stay far away. And my advise is if you do sign up only pay in cash as once they get your credit card they will just charge it continually. Thank you for reading AND BEST OF LUCK!

DO NOT USE THIS GYM…read more ​They do not care about its disabled members, such as myself. I cannot walk due to MS. There are two pools there: a shallow pool and a deep pool. The chair lift on the shallow pool has been completely broken for years--ever since I joined back in 2022. ​Because of staffing issues with lifeguards, the gym had to close one of the pools. Which pool did they choose to shut down? The deep pool--the only one with a working chair lift! When I brought up to MANAGEMENT that closing the only accessible pool left members with mobility disabilities, such as myself, completely stranded, I was rudely told I could just "come back later" or "make an appointment" (both are against ADA regulations: see below). This was back in February. ​Eventually, they got enough lifeguards and reopened the deep pool... only for the deep pool's chair lift to break down on July 31st. It has been broken ever since. All of my inquiries into fix it have been ignored. ​Both pool chair lifts at this facility are now completely non-functional. As a result, the aquatic facility is entirely inaccessible to members with mobility disabilities who rely on aquatic therapy and exercise for medically necessary physical care, such as myself. ​Telling disabled members to "come back later" or "make an appointment" violates 28 C.F.R. § 36.302(f), which states facilities cannot require patrons with disabilities to make reservations to use accessible equipment when other members enjoy spontaneous access during normal hours. ​Despite months of continuous inquiries, emails, and direct contact with virtually EVERYONE in management, I have been brushed off and ignored. Finally, on August 18th, I was sent a generic "apology" email, and a new chair was ordered. The chair they're finally replacing isn't the one I've been reporting since February. It's the deep pool chair -- the one that broke in July. So the shallow pool chair, the one I've been asking about for seven months, still isn't even on the list. If the original chair was fixed 7 months ago, i could have been swimming this entire time. But instead my health is being affected. ​This sustained failure violates multiple federal and state accessibility statutes: * ​Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. § 12182): Prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in public accommodations. * ​2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (§ 242.2 & § 1009.2): Mandates accessible, operable, fixed pool lifts for independent operation. * ​28 C.F.R. § 36.211 (Maintenance of Accessible Features): Obligates facilities to maintain accessible equipment in operable condition, explicitly prohibiting prolonged or indefinite outages. * ​New York State Human Rights Law (N.Y. Exec. Law § 296(2)(a)): Guarantees equal access to public accommodations without unlawful discrimination. ​​To Management: Do not even bother responding to this review with counterarguments or excuses--you have handled this wrong at every single turn. And do not post a canned, copy-pasted "please reach out to us" PR response. I have already reached out to EVERYONE for months and was completely ignored. The only acceptable response is fixing the lifts.

Traditionally Sundays are for brunch and Bloody Marys. This past Sunday I decided to go Zen and…read moretake a 4PM Gentle Yoga class at Energy Movement Center in downtown Peekskill. It's a small studio with two yoga/workout rooms but has a HUGE community feel. Drop in class are $20 but they offer tons of packages from class cards to full membership. Besides yoga they offer Pilates, tai chi, cardio, personal training and specialized workshops/events. Gentle Yoga @4PM on Sunday is led by Liz Lazo who added a little bit of Zen via starting with meditation (a bit more than breath in/out) before guiding us through the gentle yoga practice. It was a small class just 2 people so she tailored the class to our needs (back/hips). She is excellent but since she's also my cousin I will list her bio not written by me! Liz Lazo has been practicing yoga for over 13 years and has received instruction in Hatha, Iyengar, Kripalu & Vinyasa styles. She earned her 200 Hour Vinyasa Teacher Training certificate through Living Yoga with Liz Schulman and Richard Villella in March 2013. Liz is a registered member of Yoga Alliance. In addition, she attained the First Degree of Reiki through Ginny Mackles in March 2011 and applies the principles to her work as a yoga student and instructor. Related or not she's good enough to get me to give up my Sunday Bloodys!
