The gym is under new ownership. it seems a dark haired women of advanced age and her wannabe fake "juice head" short stature husband, bought powerhouse as another "investment/toy" (apparently he also moonlights as a DJ at a bagel place.) the attitude and actions from the owners to the front desk are extremely unprofessional. This is but a first in an array of problems that plagues this once glorious "rocky or meat head" gym. LETS TALK ABOUT SAFETY! Most of the equipment (if not all) here has been broken for years and instead of hiring reputable gym professionals to fix the broken machines properly they hire hacks that are unprofessional, unscrupulous friends of the owners for little or no money, hence the quality of the workmanship in which the machines are patched up look terrible. Ive observed staff members gorilla glue stuff back together!!! The following includes but not limited to - CARDIO MACHINES THE BIKES - WOBBLE and tilt, THE RESISTANCE IS BROKEN! might as well sit on the couch at home if the there no resistance. )= THE TREADMILLS - The BELTS HAVE NO TREADS. NONE!!! nothing is maintained. major problems on most of the cardio equipment here. BARBELLS EVERY SINGLE BARBELL IS BENT!! It prevents any correct or safe benching, dead lifting or squatting. Basically any exercise that you may need a perfectly straight bar to achieve the perfect rep(s). These bent bar also prevents doing any "rocky or meat head exercises" correctly. FREE WEIGHTS LAWL! SOME WEIGHTS ARE WELDED TOGETHER like the DUMBBELLS and the leg press safety knob. SO NOT SAFE. THE FLOORS IN THE ENTIRE GYM NEED TO CHANGED!!! The rubber mats are worn out and uneven, which prevent proper squatting and deadlifting and any other "rocky and meat head exercises" STUFF AND BROKEN THINGS LIKE MIRRORS, LIGHTS. WILL NOT BE FIXED FOR 6-8 MONTHS AT A TIME. (if ever) one fan got broken and never got replaced. THE MUSIC SELECTION is horrible if you ask to change it they will ignore you. staff members..... a large round nerd gentleman is most unfriendly and unwilling. unless your a hawt chick in which case he will try to give you a free protein shake. THEY NOW accept silver sneakers so be prepped to work out with grandma. if your looking for a hawt young firm person to look at .... look elsewhere my brahs the energy in this place is at a snails pace. literally brah. SO ALL in ALL everybody from the cardio queens to the biggest meat heads will have a problem with the equipment or rather the lack of care that is put into this gym. The RATES used to be better and as soon as new management took over the rates shot up 50 dollars and it didnt go into the gym equipment it seems PS .. NOOOO FREE WIFI!!! ASKED THE ROUND GUY IN FRONT HE SAID THEY DONT HAVE THE PASSWORD. BUT CLEARLY THEY DO BECAUSE ALL THEY PLAY ARE APPS ON THEIR IPHONE THE WHOLE TIME USING THE GYM WIFI .. ITS 2015 FREE WIFI IS EVERYWHERE.....WHY WOULD YOU NOT ALLOW YOUR MEMBERS TO USE YOUR gym wifi??

The equipment is great and the gym itself is pretty spacious. That being said, would it kill them to have their hours posted somewhere? In front of their store, online, even on an recorded automated voice mail system?! The only way to find out there hours is to call, and if they are closed, you wont get a response nor can you leave a voicemail. On weekdays, the gym opens at 5 A.M. and closes at midnight. So it seems this gym is catered to the schedules of people with either a lot of free time or people with 9-5 jobs. This isnt good for people with different work schedules, especially on the weekends where I work earlier and the gym opens later. Having an openly available gym times would make planning ahead far easier, especially to newcomers. Wish it were 24 hours, but those seems rare to find apart from Planet Fitness. The people are fairly friendly, they dont have a superset rule, so only basic gym etiquette is necessary, however there seem to be a lot of guys that come during the day that dont know gym etiquette. These guys will sit on a machine for half an hour, doing a set or two then just sit on their phone for another 10 minutes before they do their second set. Unless you address these people, they will continue to do it. Either that or they actually start using the machines to work out. The shakes are nice but pricey, so just make your own at home. Bathrooms are clean, and the yoga room is great for pre workout stretching. The membership prices can seem like a huge jump if you come from Planet Fitness, but it is almost never overly crowded, and never to the extent of Planet Fitness. All in all, a pretty decent gym. Some quirks here and there, but these can for the most part be resolved.

DONT GET INVOLVE WITH THEM!!!!!!!!me and my sister joined the gym last year. my sister relocated to Greece due to her work and stop by the Bayside location to cancel her membership. The person that she spoke with told her that her account was cancelled. Couple weeks later, she received mail from collection agency since they were unavailable to collect the funds, my sister told them that her account was closed. My sister is in Greece already so I called them again to try to close the account. The person who tool my call had no idea about the policy so he asked me to call the main number.. which I did and they told me that I need to call Bayside for cancellation. The account is not closed yet, about a month and half later ..so hectic..cant wait till my contract is up and never deal with them again. not sure what to do, need to close her account...

Need more squat racks. There is wasted space where the day care used to be, that can be a rack. They have 6 preacher curls machines, thats also a waste. They can use that corner with 3 of those for a Deadlift platform. The floors are uneven, even though they re-did the basement a few years back. They have a new owner, great guy, just clueless about certain things. There is even a shortage of pins for all the weight stacks in the gym. Almost every barbell is bent. Im fairly certain they arent sure which bar is which. They need to restock with Texas power bars or purchase power bars for all benches, squat bars for all racks, and a deadlift bar for the aforementioned platform I recommend they purchase. They are also some sort of "silver" certified gym. Cant be hardcore in a place thats approved for my grandma.

Clean, friendly, no frills gym with everything you need to get a good lifting/cardio session in. I always come here without fail when Im back in Bayside and it never lets me down. Staff is always very friendly and the members are there for the most part to work out and are polite as well. Rates are very reasonable too. Definitely compared to places like Equinox in the city this place is a great value and just as good to workout at. One thing I would recommend though is a deadlift platform. I realize the gym caters to a wide variety of folk of different fitness levels, but even just one would make a difference. Also a few of the treadmills are in need of repair, but there are so many when I go that Ive never had to wait for one.
