I have been going to Club One for over 3 years now. The reason I chose Club One over another club was location, premium club, good combination of cardio machines, free weights, excellent personal trainers who are motivated and approachable. Very friendly front office staff and a general manager who listens to feedback and acts on it. In this day and age, working out is very important, especially with those with an office job and somewhat sedentiary lifestyle. While you may go out biking 8 miles on the weekend and fit a 30min walk in your lunch hour, this in my book does not constitute working out. You are not going to improve your physique and may maintain it. If you really want to improve then you need to have a regular fitness routine of 4 to 5 days a week where you huff, puff and sweat pours down your brow, neck and t-shirt gets soaked! Sorry that sounded awful but you understand that I mean a real workout, where you are in your target heart zone and the sweat shows you are doing more than your usual leisurely routine. That is why Club One is great, you can get the personal trainers to create routine for you then you can motivate yourself to get results. The trainers here practice what they preach, you will see them working out following what they teach and it really has a friendly setting. There is never a long wait for machines and the gym, swimming pool and volleyball net cater for most members need. The club is conveniently located near Westfield Oakridge mall and has good shower and sauna facilities that are maintained. I would recommend this club to those members who want to make a positive change in their fitness, get healthier and/ or improve their physique overall. The front desk customer service, complementary towels, personal trainers, and overall club equipment is great. Club One caters for older clientelle due to their higher membership dues. As a result of this the club is never really full like cheaper clubs, equipment normally works and they do have the repairman come around occasionally to fix noisy belts, hard or unpressable buttons. They have a personal TV on each cardio equipment (stairmaster, elliptical, recumbent bicycle, spinning bicycle and treadmills). Highly recommend this club

The gym is fantastic. Forma went into the old Active/Club One space and upgraded everything. The space feels good and more upscale. The equipment is new and not falling apart, the locker room updated and has separate showers, a sauna, steam room and hot tub. Where I think this gym shines is its outside area. The space is huge and offers a whole next level in working out plus it includes a very large multi lane pool for laps. Ive started personal training and the staff is amazing as well. If you are in the market for a new gym and/or personal training you have to give this place a shot!

This hasnt been my first time at this gym, but it has been my first time with Forma gym and I LOVE it. Ive worked and trained at many gyms in the past. If one gym was lacking in one area, it would make it up in another area. Forma, lacks non. The Service from everyone that works there makes me feel like family, especially Fabricio and Faro. Some say we all look like were related but were not. The way they treat me every time I come in makes me feel like we really are family. Its under new owners/management. If you are considering trying this gym out, I say do it! you will love it!

I recently used Club One for a swim and some training before work that I had driven into town for. The outdoor pool is really sweet and a great change from the indoor air you have to tolerate at many places. Overall the facility is clean and well-organized, if a little overcrowded (at least from 7:30 to 9:30 on a weekday). Its $20 for the day, which is about $5 too much IMHO. There is not very much room designated or available for stretching and body work type training--maybe taking out a few of the treadmills or ellipticals would be good?

Do you want to get absolutely jacked? If you do this is the place for you. This gym has everything you need to become the freak beast youve always dreamed of. FORMA has three new Rogue power racks, a bunch of bumper plates, all new Ohio barbells, chalk, and a ton of other equipment for those who know their way around a gym. In addition most of the people there arent using this outstanding gear so odds are you wont have to wait in line or work in. If youre a half rep Harry stay at planet fitness and save your money.

The Gym experience feels like a premium club; with steam room, sauna and heated pool. All the expected services are always available as the monthly cost does the job of thinning the crowd, so even at its busiest, it never feels crowded. The monthly membership includes a full suite of classes that feel important to utilize to get the full value out of the membership. If your needs are spartan, then youll find more affordable options nearby.

Went in just to get information about the gym and see how much a membership costs and was told to make an appointment and come back another time. They couldnt even give me a brochure or just tell me the monthly price. What is this, a doctors office? Cant a man just pump some iron and not have to deal with silly little sales games? Looked nice from what I could see I guess, but kind of got turned off.

Customer service is second to none. These folks hooked me up, worked a deal on the dues, has a pool, good fitness equipment, spin classes, clean towels, spa. They even have q tips for you when your cleaning up after work out. Clean place. They really go out of their way to make it worth your money.

This place is absolutely fantastic! I love coming here. The the staff and people are great! They are always so friendly and non-judgemental especially when a trip around the exercise floor lol! There is some remodeling going on and I cannot wait until its done, because its just going to get better!

Clean and well organized. Friendly and very helpful staff. Lots of machine options, personnel workouts, swimming pool, dry sauna, steam sauna, and jetted spa. Low cost compared to other facilities with far less options available.

This is a great gym, I loved it there! Im moving out of town but it was so easy to cancel my membership. Wish they had a harbor fitness on long island! I recommend this gym to any one looking for a great gym in park slope.

Were new joiners, but it is super clean and offers great customer service. More class offerings on weekends and a family bootcamp class for parents and children would be great additions. Good value.

Brian Miranda

Just started working out with these guys and have had a great experience so far. Always flexible with times and have such great positive energy and motivation. Would definitely recommend!

They are asking for a high price for their renovation. They charge way way more than few gyms around and not provide that many service. I like the gym but not for the price.

I usually go around 7 pm and it is never crowded. You never have to wait for any workout machine. Great exercise equipment and pool. Staff is always friendly.
