User Reviews for Astoria Sports Complex

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

04/28/2007 Posted by tigeramma

my experience at the astoria sports complex was always top rated. whether it was taking my children to the batting range, birthday parties, or the gym; i found the facility very clean and very organized and modern. one of the most impressive things is the owner is always on staff, and the staff is the most curdious that i have ever come across. But, best of all, this is a facility that my whole family had a fantastic time, and it was the lowest price than any other facility. my wife, my child and myself, have joined the gym package which includes swimming pool, jacuzzi, and cardio gym, for me and my wife. and for my son, which is eight years old, he was able to join the swimming pool, jacuzzi, and the youth gym. with 25 machines dedicated to children. my wife and i were very impressed on how wonderful the bathrooms look. the bathrooms look newly renovated, and are constantly clean

Pros: best price & Cleanest

Cons: wish there were more sports facilities like this one

My kids and I had a really enjoyable experience. They met up with friends and spent hours in the batting cages. I found the staff to be helpful and courteous. I highly recommend spending an afternoon.

Pros: Great staff!

Together with my husband, I used to be a member at this facility, especially because of their pool. The fees for the membership, when we signed up, were $240 per person per year, to be paid in full, at signing the contract. This sounds like quite a bit of money, but if you break it down into months, it comes to $20 - a real deal! Our membership expired shortly after our baby was born and being first-time parents, we didn't have the time to renew the arrangement. After a while we started going back on a regular basis, to work out in the pool, since, even as a non-member, you can train there for $7 per person during the week and $12 at the weekend. These prices are quite high and even the baby (at the time 4 months old) had to pay the full price, which I was pretty shocked about, but I accepted it, since this was our only option. We were close to signing up for a new membership together with our now 1-year old. But now I a glad we didn't: Today, Saturday, I decided once again to take the baby for a swim at this sports complex. I paid the $24 entrance fee, just to find out after entering the pool facility, that there was a childrens' birthday party going on in the pool area. I sit down, by the side of the pool and wait, already being angry, that the receptionist upon entering and paying the $24 fee for the two of us, did not mention a thing about this. After waiting for 20 minutes both the baby and I are cold and frustrated and decide to leave. But since the GM of the place is around, I confront him and ask him for a refund or such. He basically laughs in my face and tells me "no" outright. He also says, that the receptionist did nothing wrong and that I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Further more he says, that his members come first (which the people in the party apparently were) and that the gym depends on such income. Since I was not a member I had to understand this. No appology, no customer service!

Pros: Has a pool with great attendants!

Cons: Everything else!
