“Facility has changed since last time I was there. Very clean and updated machines. It did feel a little tight with how many machines they did get in there with little space between then and from front to back. Non the less a very excellent gym.”
“Joined a couple of years ago and still love showing up 4 times a week. The coaches are great and you feel like you are part of a community that all wants to get better and be healthier. If you have anxiety about working out and getting started, this is the place for you as everyone is so welcoming and everything can be scaled.”

“Worth every penny. Love the accountability of Orangetheory. My stamina is so much better, my resting heart rate is down, I'm losing inches and weight! So happy that I joined!”
“I walked into OTF Nisky in 2021 and I've never left! They keep the workouts fun and interesting with different benchmarks, specialty workouts and the annual transformation challenge that makes you want to do better each class! Such a good combo of strength training and cardio. I've never been able to stick to any gym or program until I found my place here. OTF has made me the best, healthiest version of myself!”

“I started doing yoga at Inner Bliss a little over a week ago, it has truly made a difference in my life. I’ve been enjoying the relaxation, stress relief, and simply having intentional time away from home to focus on myself. It’s become something that supports my mind, body, and honestly warms my soul.
The classes have created such a calming and welcoming environment, and I always leave feeling lighter and more grounded than when I walked in. If you’ve been considering trying yoga, this is your sign to do it. Taking even a little time for yourself can make such a positive impact. Thank you, Inner Bliss, for creating a space that encourages healing, balance, and peace.
Special thank you to Mary Clare.”

“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!”
“Sunnyview Wellness center is wonderful. A great place to exercise and meet others who are eager to make your visit a daily thing. Come on in and enjoy your workout.”

“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.”
“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!”
“Took my Grandson to batting practice, first time I was there and it is set up nice. A lot of kids go through and from what I have seen it's a very nice place. ??”
“Great gym! Excellent place to work out. If you’re a student or alumnus, I highly recommend. Half of the first floor has cardio machines, as well as muscle group training machines. On the bottom floor you’ll find the weight training area.”
“Amazing Clean Gym with A Great friendly Staff. Awesome Gym Community, with The best Gym Equipment. They just added a Sauna which adds for a better experience and workout”
“Not sure how long this location has been open but the equipment and facility appear to be very new. The women's locker and shower areas were very clean and modern. This Crunch doesn't seem to offer classes, just equipment. Also, you'll need to bring your own lock for the locker. Nice place. I was impressed.”
“Took my grandsons for open swim today. I was so impressed with the young life guards. They were attentive and watched for everything.
The kiddie pool had a good amount of kids and the young gentleman lifeguard stood right by the pool. Someone trained them right!”
“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.”
“The gym is well maintained and the staff is wonderful. I was able to breeze through my PT after surgery by doing the exercises at the gym with some pointers from the staff on how to adapt the exercises to the machines as I built strength back. Plus using the massage chairs after a workout is actually really nice.”
“I love the gym so much but the workers need work on customer service but other then that a great gym and if yur paying $100 a month they should at least discount the merchandise for those members just saying”

“A LOT OF THE BAD COMMENTS ARE FALSE cause their 2 sides to every story,this gym has a lot for a reasonable monthly rate and the people care they have a restaurant and arcade games and a grocery store with frozen items also which is very convenient also”
“Am a Former member of this gym from 2018-2020 and although I left for a competitor who has a better all in price than the E3 I still recommend it. You get several good gym classes 2 floors of equipment a rock climbing wall a basketball court a pool hydro beds tanning and a protein drink bar. Ultimately after things reopened after covid and the world changed I could not justify the $60 all in price anymore and I left for that reason alone but if you can afford it. It is a good gym”
“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.”
“Love this gym. It’s never really packed somehow and it’s always clean. You don’t ever have to wait on machines for too long if someone is using it. There’s also a private room that you can workout in that has a projector with tons of classes to do. It’s also open 24/7 which is great. You can come and go and not be bothered at all. The owner is also very nice as well.”
