The Scene
Working out becomes a luxurious experience at this full-service facility. There are six floors and 140,000 square feet devoted to the pursuit of fitness in this temple to the body beautiful, but it doesn't stop there. Spa comforts for both sexes include massage, nutritional counseling, facials and hairstyling--perfect for sprucing up after a grueling workout. An attentive staff of locker-room cleaners and attendants adds to the hotel-like flair. If the kids are giving you a headache, park them at the fitness space designated for children between six months and 12 years of age.
The Workout
A low-fat bite at the Grill, the gym's very own restaurant, is de rigueur. But as you consume your elegant meal and reflect on the site's host of perks, you may be struck by a disturbing realization: You forgot to exercise.

I joined the club after reading rave reviews. 75% of the initiation fee was waved through a promo so it was compelling for me to try. I am deeply disappointed with the gym. The classes are good and numerous, but they are not excellent. I agree with the reviewer who said that the showers are old and filthy. Accommodating and friendly staff? I have yet to see that. Snobbish yoga instructors who help only those they want to. The yoga is done extremely fast regardless of who can catch up. This is NOT the way to do yoga. I learned all types of yoga for one year in India, and the key is to do it slowly and give time to do each pose correctly for maximum impact. I was shocked to see how fast one yoga instructor was with poses - not good at all. I got two sessions with a private instructor. They made it seem like they looked at my profile and matched me with the right instructor. I think the instructor they assigned to me did not have as many clients because he was new to NY, and so I was another potential client. The guy would not stop talking about how he trained beautiful people in Hollywood and so would train me to fitness. I barely did any workout with him. When you spend $$$$ you expect convenience. Nothing is convenient about the gym. The big bucks are for the classes which you can find in any other gym. The lockers are tiny, and if you want to leave anything permanently, you have to pay $800 per year for a VERY tiny locker. Honestly I expected them to provide permanent lockers at least so that you don't have to carry a big bag around. The $$$$ I spent are not worth it, but I am locked in due to the high initiation fee. I hope to get my money's worth by working out everyday. Unless you are living in the area, I highly suggest taking your money elsewhere.

I joined this place exclusively for its yoga program and the new mind-body studio. Unfortunately, after being a member for one year, I decided to cancel my membership due to the poorly managed yoga program. It is clear that only certain instructors are being favored and they only listen to certain type of members. The classes have no spiritual element and most classes are taught by instructors who only care about how beautiful they look doing the poses and don't even bother correcting the people in class. When I spoke to the yoga program coordinator, all she had to say was that I probably was in the wrong place, that Reebok is a health club and not a yoga studio. She is probably right - don't join if what you are looking for are high-quality yoga classes!

I have been a guest at this club multiple times and after my recent last visit I found out it is nothing like what it used to be several years ago! Yes, they still greet you with a smile every time, but that doesn't make up for the fact that the facility is falling apart - you can tell by the poor condition of the equipment used in the classes (I took a step class and almost fell because the steps are worn out and don't stay put on the floor anymore!) The bathrooms look and smell like those in a bad-neighborhood public high school - splashed with water all over the sink, un-flushed, stinky toilets and no toilet paper. At well over $200/month and the outrageous $1000+ initiation fee, you expect the "five-star" service they claim to provide, yet, what you get is well below what you expect. It's a shame that what used be the best club in NYC has now turned into an old, filthy club that is poorly maintained and falling apart, but the price remains just as expensive. If you are thinking about joining, I suggest you shop around other clubs first - there are newer, cleaner clubs in the surrounding areas that don't charge as much and provide a real first-quality service and facility.
