The gym has to the potential to be great, however it fails in so many areas. If it was not for the fact there is another gym right near my job, I would have canceled my membership a long time ago and joined Unique on Sunrise Hwy. To be fair, the gym has a lot of good to it. - It is set up very well with the cardio equipment upstairs. - The preset channels on the equipment are more then suitable. - Although the parking lot can get packed, the gym can handle the amount of people. - The counter staff is usually friendly enough (they say Hi and stop their convo to check you in). The bad. - The locker rooms are never clean. The garbage pails seem to be overflowing at all times of day. - The weights are never re-racked. This should be the members job, but if they dont, it still needs to be done. My wife cannot remove multiple 45 lb plates off of a machine (it in itself is a workout). Dumbbells are always laying on the floor or in the complete wrong spot. There is never floor personnel cleaning up and straightening up for the benefit of the members. This is the most complained about aspect of this gym from all I talk to (male and female). - I found banana peels, water bottles and a lot of other garbage on the basketball courts from the night before. It can be real disgusting. Bring your own ball, the supplied balls are horrible. - Lack of recycle pails. More recycle pails = more recycling. Bottles are always in the garbage. This is a mere suggestion for the benefit of the planet. - No bike rack. There is no place to lock up a bicycle for people who want to ride to the gym opposed to drive. - Down equipment. There never seems to be a day where at least a couple of machines are not down. - The trainers often use the stair case for the clients to run up. I know it is a good workout, but during prime time hours, this is not only annoying, it is potentially dangerous as theyre carrying weights. - Back to the bathrooms. There needs to be more scheduled cleans throughout the day. The constant smell of urine and "residue" is abundant. It is disgusting! As stated, the best part of this gym is its convenience as I can workout in Patchogue at night and on weekends and Farmingdale during my lunch breaks. If it was not for this, I would not be a member. For the monthly dues they charge, if you are not going to be doing this, go elsewhere. It is not worth the $40+/- a month.

Mary - I signed up on family plan with two neighbors - we each paid $125.00 initiation fee and gave out credit card information to lock in so called bargain price of $39.99 per month...with stipulation that we could put membership on hold at any time (for vacation or health reasons) without penalty. One neighbor separated herself from family plan after I was billed for all three memberships for the 2nd month. A short brunette was very rude and dismissive of me on more than one occasion. I ended up with back problems and put my membership on hold - only to find out the next month that there was a 25% charge per month to do this. This was not disclosed at time of joining. When I finally tried to cancel membership in May I got runarround and then finally given form that I had to fill out and mail to Texas. I received notice of last payment date 7/10/2011. My credit card was replaced by the bank due to bank hacking and I felt safer that this corrupt company couldnt charge my card. One neighbor always pays cash and when she went to pay before billing period she was told they charged my account. I called the bank and asked if they could do this and was told they could not charge my new account unless I gave them the new card number - NOT. I found the charge pending and after speaking to three managers they agreed to dispute the charges once it was posted to my account (since I had the confirmation email of last payment due). LA Fitness claims you are not held to a contract but that is only to their advantage,, I am reporting them to the BBB. They are also overcrowded after work starting at 5:00 pm and there is a long wait for equipment. I am going to ask the town of Brookhaven to look into safety violations for exceeding capacity of persons in gym as I read signs that were dismissed by one of the salesmen. Buyer beware!

Duh Best

Some one made a comment about the chain being called "La Fitness" and how this is "Strong Island"....plz stay here and never move to the west coast. Anyway, I will say they do use the excuse for the AC not being powerful enought b/c their corp head quarters are in Los Angeles....which btw gets completely diff climate then us (we are under sea level if u have a brain). So its always hot. The strong island guy w/ the attitude is the exact ppl who work out their w/ shirts like "Suns out guns out". Btwn the people, broken equipment and the managers it a major fail. Spin room is pitch black so make sure u are there way early to set yourself up b.c ull just hear screaming over a mic in the dark. The weights re stacked not a big deal to me every gym has that. What is annoying is weights all over the floor while ur carrying weights. Locker room smells of infection. No soap or towels...and no paper towels either outside. I love to see certain ppl I go since now I go very early morning to lift b/c i couldnt swim some effing aqua class is going on....umm heard of the YMCA? The only reason I go is to get a good lift on what I can, talk to older ppl bc i used to go when it was just douche bags w the strong island attitude and I see random friends I have made to say hi. I go at a good time around 8am I get there. So if you are looking to weight train and not wait forever for some douche bag on his iphone not letting u work in then go early morning. And 8 am on a sat to open? Unacceptable. Been a member since 2011 its a new staff every five mins. Just financed a new car and a manager chased me out scared the crap out of me to try their new "promo" i said I dont need to and im moving to the west coast actually and I have the membership to all LAs ....i wouldnt doubt if he went and changed it once I said it. SHould have kept quiet.

This happened a few months ago, life just happened.. I received an email from LA fitness where there was $0 initiation fee and only $29 a month. The link was broken to sign up, so I called in and asked if they would honor the e-mail, and they said they would. I arrived and the person who is in charge with signing people up said that the state of NY and that particular club did not honor the sale price. She gave me a discounted price but I ended up shelling out almost $200 and an extra $40 a month than the email stated. She also didnt have the time to give me a tour and had another associate do so. Now, $200 may not seem like alot, but at that time I had a 4 month old and only my fiance was working, so it wiped out our checking. I just wanted to get back into shape and feel good after suffering from post Pardum. That night, I get another email from LA fitness. It was the original email with the sale price. But this time the link wasnt broken, and that club did infact honor the sale, just charged an extra $10 a month. So I went in the next morning and started to explain to the club manager, she interrupts me and says "skip to the point, what do you want?" Wow... I just wanted to be reimbursed and use the sale prices from the email. The manager sends me to the person who originally signed me up. Huffing and puffing she almost immediately finds the sale I was rendering to on the email She LIED to me the day before!!! I couldnt sign back up because the funds had to be refunded, but I didnt want to anyway I felt cheated and lied too They only saw me as a doller amounthe Only giving 1 star for the clean equipment.
