Harbor Fitness Go

It is such a joy and a privilege to be a member of Harbor Fitness Go. Walking into your gym you are greeted with thee greatest smiles and such cheer by the ladies and guys behind the counter. Every single employee knows my name by heart, even your new employees learn the members names so fast, which amazes me, because I know there are hundreds of people in and out of that gym everyday. If I ever have a problem or issue, any staff member is ready to help out the best they can. Tommy and Gen are my favorite, such a wonderful team. No one ever remembers what Shake I like but they know exactly what I put in my shake down to a «T «. Both Tommy and Gen are always so helpful and friendly. You are very fortunate to have such a wonderful team. I just wanted to thank you for hiring such wonderful staff, who make the start and end of my torturous workout such a pleasure. There is nothing better than starting and ending my work out with a smile.
Thank you again

After moving to Brooklyn for the summer, I was hoping to find an affordable local gym that had more of a neighborhood feel than the chains like Planet Fitness and Blink I had previously had memberships at. I found Harbor Fitness Go! the first day and it was one of the highlights of living in Brooklyn this summer. The gym has many machines, including some I had never even seen before (and I’ve been going to various gyms from an early age, so I was pleasantly surprised!), from cardio machines like treadmills and ellipticals to various machines targeting specific muscle groups. Great space with plenty of room, it never felt too cramped or crowded. Women’s locker room is clean and a very big space. Affordable price. I also did several personal training sessions, and my trainer, Paul, was great! Super helpful and encouraging. The other employees are really nice and friendly. Overall, great experience, and I wish Harbor Fitness had a Manhattan location!

Love the gym. Staff is very friendly. Place is always clean. No crapy man approaching. Very good especially for the price you pay. Would definitely suggest it to my friends.

This gym is getting busier and busier. I’ve had to wait for weight benches and machines almost every time, this past year. Recently, even the cardio section is getting busy. The price is reasonable, but still– I’m the kind of person that likes to get my workout in quickly and get out. I’m not interested in schmoozing at the gym, so it’s very frustrating to have to wait for machines all the time. I’m thinking of switching.

I’ll be a bit biased only because I used to be a member at their mil basin location which is posh but what do you expect, mill basin charges $ 63 vs this one which charges $ 21 a month. So they treated as such.
Equipment needs major tuneup and or replacement, wouldn’t hurt if they pay attention to detail.
Staff is very friendly if you decide to come here because of the price then yes can’t beat that.
Working out at certain hours can be a challenge just like any other gym especially at 5 – 6 in the evening prob till 10.
I find that the best time is in the morning 6 or 7
If your looking to start out with a trainer I would recommend Chris who’s amazing.

I love my gym! It’s huge and I NEVER have to fight over a machine. The front desk team are friendly and attentive. You can really tell they like to be the there. Coming from 3 other gyms, Harbor Fitness Go is by far the most professional, clean, and up to date gym I’ve been too. It’s worth the 25 minute walk. It’s affordable on a monthly basis.

Very good gym. Lots of equipment compared to other gyms that charge triple the price like NYSC. Also extremely clean. Always notice someone walking around making sure the place is in top shape. For the price you can’t beat this place.

I like this gym a lot. It is always clean and staff is very friendly. The cardio machines i need are available every time I go. Their monthly fee is is very reasonable compared to other gyms. I had the opportunity to meet Karen, a personal trainer who taught me so much. She is extremely knowledgeable and motivating! I highly recommend this gym.

its a great gym with everything you can ask for. the employees are very nice and helpful. I have gotten great results from attending this gym. it is very clean and the prices are very good. all and all it is a very good gym and I am very happy that I decided to go there. Also aside from the gym and the employees that work there, I have been very lucky to get the opportunity to train and become very close with one of the personal trainers, Karen. She is outstanding at her job and no matter what she will always push you to do harder and encourage you which is what I believe that most people need to achieve their fitness goals. She is the main reason that I lost a significant amount of weight. She is an exceptional trainer and I would recommend her to anyone.

I am training for a marathon, and in this winter weather, there is no way that I can get training done on the streets. I found Harbor Fitness on Unilocal,and I saw that they had a free 3 day trial of the gym. So I clicked the link, filled out the form, and printed it out. When I entered the gym, they told me that there was no 3 day free trial, rather it was only a 1 day free trial. I was disappointed that they would not honor the deal shown on
.
As for the Gym, it was perfect for my needs. There are a lot of cardio equipment overlooking a huge room. The room was very well ventilated, and lighting was good as well.
I enjoyed the fact that each treadmill has a personal tv on it. When you run for more that an 3 hours at once, it can get really boring; so you need to have some entertainment.
They have a protein bar behind the front desk, where you can get personalized shakes. YUM!

This is a real workout gym. This is the kind of gym Don mozzetti would make his bro science videos at. Every year they add some isolation machines that make your workouts exciting again. The people that go there are great too. I have been going here while it was under old management and I can clearly say that the new management is much better.

I personally believe all the other reviews are fake. If real people would give reviews they would never give or get a 4 or 5 stars. I will try to make this review as short as possible. The gym and the staff give a pretty good first impression, that where it starts and ends, there November or December promotion got me to sign up with them and give up my membership somewhere else, but by now I gave up my membership with them, This gym membership is very cheap maybe that’s the reason they don’t think it’s important to keep the place spotless and maintain these machines, God knows. Some machines have mold growing from the layers of dust. In the beginning I showed 1 of the girls that worked there spots that never get or got cleaned she was like ok I will take care of it. Did she? NO. It’s all still there on till I showed a manager 4 weeks later he took care of those machine I showed him, I’m not employed, did he make sure after that all of them are spotless of course not, they don’t really care. There full time cleaning guy is a waist of $ I have been to other gyms in the past. Never saw anything like I saw here, this is far from a clean and classy gym. It’s filthy and moldy this place, it doesn’t look it, but it is. the staff is ok. nothing major, they pretend to smile and care and flirt. You would think someone so long in the business would know better, I guess not. This is to show how much there staff cares. You tell them something and it doesn’t help they use these machines themselves and they don’t realize or care to say anything to the person cleaning it. If you want a clean gym and real friendly staff this is not the place. I’m not here to hurt them or tell them what to do or change the world. If I was I would of posted pictures of the mold and rust coming out of some of there machines, did I mention the faded labels from there machines and the squeaky noise there treadmills and other machines sound like? They probably bought them used or old machines from the other locations. I’m not a member anymore and I don’t give reviews on Unilocal and I’m not a complainer if I was I could of gotten my mebership free by now. I’m not that type. For health reason I think it’s important people should know about this place. I’m so grossed out I don’t think I would go back to this gym for free.

4 and three quarter stars…
It’s a fantastic gym with almost everything you could ask for. Lots of cardio including a private room that shows movies while you work on the elliptical or treadmill!
The free weight area is good but the machine area is not great, I know this isn’t the bigger version of Harbor but I wish they had a couple more bicep machines or ab machines that aren’t strenuous on the lower back.
The smoothie/​juice bar up front is fantastic and the staff is pretty awesome.
Overall it’s an excellent gym with great prices, I love that you can pay monthly and cancel any time.
I suggest you wait for the promotion when there’s zero down to join and you’ll be golden!
They give you a free gym bag, a free smoothie and one free lesson upon joining, too!

I’ve updated my previous review from 4**** to an outstanding 5*****. I’ve now been coming here for over 4 months and so I have a better view of how I feel regarding Harbor Fitness Go.
What can I say? I love this place. Harbor Fitness has made a lazy couch potato belly flopping lad into a motivated 10 LBS lighter MAN.
5***** — Hours of Operation, Unlimited Cardio Machines, Many Free Weights, Juice Bar, Friendly Staff, Close Location, Clean Facilities, Clean Machines, Cardio Cinema Room, Never to packed!
As long as I live in Brooklyn, this will be my one and only gym.
Thank You Harbor Fitness!

I’m now a regular (3x/​week at least), and I love my gym. The price is excellent. For about $ 225/​year, you get a nice, clean little gym with working machines and plenty of weights/​resistance. There is a «Cardio Theatre» where you can watch whatever movie they’re playing while on a treadmill or elliptical. I haven’t used it, because I like listening to my iPod while I jog, but it’s a cool idea.
Harbor has some sort of Crossfit class now, which I also haven’t looked into yet, but it’s worth mentioning. They also have inexpensive personal training.
Be warned, there ARE meatheads at this gym hogging all the weights. But at least they aren’t giving out free pizza…

Love this place. Fees are reasonable, staff is friendly, and its just a great atmosphere to workout in. I took off one star for parking because some people have a problem with it, but honestly if you are looking to go on the treadmill what is the problem with walking a couple of blocks?

They should have at least limited towels service rather than not any. You can can tell that the gym was just taken over with the equipment included, most of the machines are decent but a couple are pretty bad like the lying leg curl some could really hurt themselves, but then again I don’t see it getting taken care of, just like they have a bent 80 lb barbell for over 1 year now at the park slope location

Harbor Fitness has earned another star…
they’ve recently turned the once aerobics room into a theater/​workout room!
Features of the room include:
— newly painted black walls & ceiling
— dim lighting
— brand new machines (bikes, treadmills & ellipticals) *
— HUGE wall mounted TV on the far wall (and additionally two smaller screens on side walls) playing moooooovies.**
* free weights and bars are still in the back
**I’ve recently watched 300 & Good Will Hunting while I worked out. I’m not sure how the movies are selected but it appears they show a different one each day. For someone who gets board easily while on the treadmill– this is an awesome feature.

I am so happy that Harbor Fitness bought this gym. Major changes and all for the best!
I have been going to the gym at this location since 2007 when it was Empire Fitness. For the first year it was great, then things started going down hill. Then one day, it was closed down. Forum Fitness took over in January, 2010, it was nice at the beginning but it wasn’t nearly close to what it is now Harbor Fitness.
Harbor Fitness is run the way a gym should be. The staff is friendly, always greets you with a smile and is approachable. The gym is very clean and so are the locker rooms. There is always someone walking around cleaning up. There are new machines and reupholstered old ones. A new cardio area in the front with Flat Screen TV’s and a Cardio Movie Theater in the old aerobics room.
I can’t say enough about Harbor Fitness. I love this gym!
Thank you Harbor Fitness
