North Shore Fitness

Haven’t done my shopping here yet, but I did check it out. It’s looks good and it’s conveniently close to my home in Wantagh. Tomorrow I’ll shop here to get the full experience. Check here tomorrow.

I will give them credit that it is the cleanest gym I have ever been in. But the staff is not very friendly.

I love the atmosphere and energy. The owner is always on site and everything gets addressed immediately. Classes are great, locker rooms are like a country club! Fancy!

A great gym. Staff is very friendly, place is immaculate and you never have to wait for equipment… there is plenty of it. A GREAT VALUE

This is my regular gym. I’m relatively happy with it – it’s a bit rough around the edges. Mostly filled with meat-​heads who hog the weights and crazy anorexic women who equally hog the ellipticals. Decent amount of cardio equipment but if you come during the busy times (after work, after 10am on the weekend) you might have a tough time getting anything. My favorite part is the cardio mezzanine which overlooks the gym floor. Each cardio machine has a TV with cable and even a channel devoted entirely to watching the playroom where kids can be babysat while their parents work up a sweat– made especially for overprotective mothers.
The classes are decent– I used to love Sonia’s Pilates class (you could almost never get a spot to put your mat) but I stopped going when she started talking more and teaching less. Also Buddy’s Cardio Funk is a great laugh, fun way to work out. I have taken 2 spin classes– one with Sonia who is a drill sergeant and Merri who’s a lot of fun but none of them match up to the teacher I had in DC (she made spin actually FUN, which is nearly impossible).
For those of you who like protein shakes and the like– there’s a small bar where they make your pleasure after your workout. Water and other drinks as well as granola and powerbars are sold at the front.
All in all a 2.5 but I’ll give em a 3. They certainly work hard enough for it. also make a point to thank Darren (I believe that’s his name) he’s the custodian. He’s a doll and makes everything so clean with a smile on his face. He deserves recognition.
