“I stopped in for a drop in WOD and had a great experience. Brendan greeted me when I arrived and gave me a tour of the gym. Liza was the coach for the class and I thought she did an excellent job. The WOD was fun, everyone was very friendly, and the vibe was great. Awesome gym.”

“I was so unsure about crossfit, having to modify things i was afraid of being judged. I couldn't be more wrong, I couldn't be happier coming to morning workouts, friday night lights, I look forward to seeing everyone and the coaches are fabulous working with anyone and their skill level.”

“If you’re looking for a more personal and “Taylored” gym—this is the one for you. If you’re on your way back to the gym or if you’re just dipping your toes into fitness—this gym’s smaller size makes it less (potentially) intimidating —proving that bigger isn’t always better.
The classes are challenging and always changing. Taylor pays attention to you—your progress and your goals. The atmosphere is welcoming and inclusive and its location is convenient. Perfect👍”

“I’ve been a member for about 2 years now and I love it. I used to be so intimidated by the “CrossFit” crowd that it took me a bit to get into it. Albany CrossFit introduced me in a way that made me feel comfortable. ACF made it possible for me to become stronger, healthier, and more confident in myself. I feel encouraged to push myself to be better everyday. I met great people, made new friends and it’s all thanks to this community.”

“I joined Albany Strength a little over a month ago, and it’s honestly one of the best gyms I’ve trained at. The first thing I noticed was how serious the environment feels in a good way. People come here to work hard, but the atmosphere still feels welcoming whether you’re experienced with strength training or just getting started with fitness.

The equipment selection is excellent, especially if you’re into powerlifting, bodybuilding, or functional training. They have plenty of squat racks, benches, free weights, and conditioning equipment, so it never feels like you’re fighting for space during workouts. Everything is also kept very clean and organized, which makes the gym feel professional and well maintained.

What really stood out to me was the staff and coaching. Everyone I’ve spoken with has been knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely supportive. One of the trainers even gave me a few quick tips on improving my squat form, and it immediately helped with both comfort and depth. Small interactions like that show they actually care about helping members improve safely and effectively.

Another thing I appreciate is the community here. Unlike some gyms that can feel intimidating or full of ego, Albany Strength has a motivating environment where people encourage each other and stay focused on progress. Whether your goal is building strength, improving conditioning, or just staying consistent with workouts, this gym feels like a great place to train long term.”

“We had our child's 7 year old birthday party at Albany Ninja Lab. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my child and his friends. They had so much fun and all the staff was super friendly. Highly recommended!”

“I just finished a group performance training session with Bryan and Antoine, and I am honestly blown away. Working out has always been a real struggle for me. I often feel intimidated, unmotivated, and unsure of what I’m doing. But this class completely changed that. Bryan and Antoine made the workout both challenging and engaging, pushed us outside our comfort zones without it ever feeling discouraging, and their knowledge, enthusiasm, and patience really stood out. They explained movements clearly, checked form, and encouraged us the whole time.

For the first time in a long time, I feel genuinely motivated to keep going. I’m eagerly waiting for the next class and really appreciate this newfound motivation their coaching has given me. I can’t wait to see the results!”

“Looking for a place to learn, grow, and be empowered? Then look no further! Empire Defense is that place. I came in as a complete rookie ( and still am lol) but not once felt singled out. All the instructors are attentive, patient and encouraging! I look forward to my classes every week!”

“The gym is clean, well stocked with equipment and has a great staff. I am currently working in a small group lead by Justin, and he's fantastic! We're all at different fitness levels, and he plans our sessions with each one of us in mind. He thoughtfully plans so everyone is accommodated in a way that brings maximum benefit for all and meets each of us where we're at. He's encouraging without coddling. I'm accomplishing things I had no idea I could do! Reasonably priced as well. Highly recommend.”

“Best Fitness Fuller Road is exactly the type of gym that I was looking for. They have excellent personal trainers, a variety of classes, and rarely is there a wait to use any of the machines or equipment. The gym’s overall vibe is chill and friendly. The people working out range from serious weightlifters and bodybuilders to beginners and elderly and people in rehab after strokes and serious injuries. I’ve approached several people doing interesting exercises asking what muscle groups they’re working on and they have always been helpful. I cannot recommend this gym highly enough.”

“Used to be decently full and all machines were available within acceptable waiting time. Nowadays, it is very crowded and hard to walk around in. Finding a machine/bench/area that isn’t occupied is a struggle. I have no idea why there’s three potential areas for training and classes that are basically closed off for the rest of the people paying for the gym whenever they decide to. The turf room, the cage room, and the dancing room behind the cardio area. I have never seen all of the cardio machines in usage either. With 1 incline press, 2 bench presses, and 6 benches. Maybe there is a more optimal layout that can have more machines to accommodate the larger crowd. Apart from that, great staff and good atmosphere. Smoothies are amazing. Quality equipment, just a lot of people.”

“SEFCU gym is decent for the free gym for UAlbany students. However, machines are often OOO and rather than fixing it, they just put up tape for months and eventually bin the machine. The weights on the new bench press also don’t match the current weights. They need to fix their broken mirrors and clear out the vents because there’s very visible dust on all the vents. Also, poor ventilation / no fans to help facilitate airflow.”

“Has everything you need for your workouts- the equipment set up is a little odd and can feel crowded in some areas but it might just be due to the interior shape of the building. Always clean and the staff is courteous.”
