Wow, cant believe so many other people had the same experience as me. The owner/manager, Larry, was definitely one of the worst experiences Ive ever had in the fitness industry. I used to work at LA Fitness as a training manager and have never seen someone act so rude to a potential new member. I called the gym and asked the girl who answered if they offer passes to try the gym. Without answering my question, she immediately asked me for my name and contact info. After that she told me to hold. A man answered and before I could ask a question he told me hed call me back in two minutes. I quickly interjected and asked if they offer day passes and he told me yes, so I said Id be over in a few minutes. When I got to the gym, the females working the front desk were nice enough but they handed me over to the man who answered the phone, I guess the owner or manager. He greeted me with, "Watcha wanna do?". Not "Hi,", not "How are you" or an introduction but literally "Watcha wanna do." He led me into his office and asked me what I wanted in a gym and then went off about how his gym is cleaner, and Ill never wait for equipment etc etc and all these nonsensical sales claims. After 10 minutes of sitting in his office, nodding my head quietly as he rambled on, he let me try the gym for a workout for free after taking my ID card as collateral. I cant even comment on the gym itself because I was so annoyed by the rude owner. Like Sparta fitness in Westbury, I got the feeling that they didnt want me to even be there. Well, wish granted.

They are Con artist thieves. Read your contract read your contract. They somehow keep charging your card after u cancel. Thieves. Con artists w procedures in place to screw u every way. After u cancel your one year contract yes one year u are still getting charge!!!!!! And when they force you to come in which is Bulls hit to cancel your contact they do it on scrap paper. Con artist thieves. Check your contract there is probably a class action suite against them because they make all there money on people who dont check there cards they gave them to pay. Why do u think they can survive on 30 bucks a month because 90 percent of people dont realize there being charged and when they do they have to go to every length outside of an attorney to get there money back. They are thieves con artists. Forget the gym. The are somehow legally screwing every one of you. Check ure contact check ure account and cancel your cards

For my own personal experience, I have found the staff to be friendly as well as the owner. Ive been a member for I think two years or so and dont recall having an unpleasant experience. For the price Im paying per month, its actually pretty affordable compared to some of the other gyms Ive been to in the past. All the equipment is kept in shape, there is diversity with the equipment and Ive made some acquaintances along the way. The locker rooms and showers are clean, its 10 minutes from my house and I happen to like this gym. If and when I ever have to quit, Im hoping I dont have to go through the issues that other people have gone through who posted reviews before me.

Everyone on here is correct about the owners! They are rude and run the gym like club bouncers. When I decided to finally cancel my membership after several years of overpaying, the owner said to me, "So I guess youre just giving up." I was so insulted and told him that in fact I was pregnant and my Dr told me to be on bed rest. He went on about all the reasons I should freeze my membership rather than cancel it, but the truth is Im done with this place anyway. Also its super expensive, everyone is rude, and the hours are ridiculous. They implement the most ridiculous holiday hours that usually last a day or two before and after the holiday! Its insane.

worst people to deal with. I had a sudden medical problem. I was told i needed a doctors note to cancel my membership. No problem, the next day i went into the gym with a note signed by my doctor. They told me that they will stop charging me for my personal training sessions but i would still be charged for my monthly membership and in a couple of months i will get a full refund. well....... its been a year. i have called Courtney a million times, left hundreds of messages, and STILL no refund. i am so FED up with this place. Its a shame that i might have to take legal action.

The worth people I have dealt with in my life. Staff is not welcoming at all. You always feel that you are in unfriendly place with no help at all. Beware of hidden charges. They made me pay 2 months extra plus 99 dollars for cancellation though it was cleared initially that I shouldn’t be paying that money. They have fees for everything with below average quality of equipments and cleanliness. I won’t even think of recommending to anyone. The owner is the most rude person has no manners or understanding.

This gym is alright. I read all these reviews before i went to check it out. I thought the place would be a garbage dump. Its a very nice gym. Walk in, BOOM, theres a freakin waterfall. Its not dirty. I thought i was in the wrong place at first. But anyway, its way better than anything youd get at Planet Fitness. They have plenty of free weights, and machines. The only thing i dont like is the price. Im broke...

I read the other reviews here and Im surprised. North Shore is a great gym. Clean, not many meatheads at all as one of the reviews suggests. The people who work out there are mostly very friendly and the staff is also friendly. Maybe a competing gym got someone to write those other reviews. Check it out for yourself if youre looking for a new gym, its really a very good gym... one of the best on L.I.

I have to say after reading these negative reviews I am shocked! This gym happens to be one of the best fitness centers I have ever attended. Clean, open and never ever packed! As for the owners, they happen to be very kind and personable and the front desk staff always greats you with a warm smile and hello. I am moving to Queens and wish I could find a gym like this out there.

This is possibly the worst gym on the Island. The employees are incompetent and cannot carry out basic tasks; the imprudent "owners" try to demean every customer’ and the aura of the place is overall crappy. The machines are unclean and broken and the only music that plays is crappy guido house music. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Just rang up with basic question about if they have a pool. Man was abrupt and when I asked so you dont have a pool then? he said correct and hung up without a goodbye. Guess the reviews are right.
