BGym Club — Attraction in New York

Save yourself the trouble!!! Don’t join this gym. I signed up with a coworker and for some reason they had trouble charging my card. My cards all have money on the account so I gave them my direct card linked to my job. It’s pure discrimination in this club with the membership. He gave me a discount on membership because my coworker was a female. She stopped using the gym months ago because they over charged her account several times to the point she had to place a block on her card. And from since June 2024 until present they came up with some bogus story that my membership fee had trouble being paid claiming it’s not paid when you clearly charged my account several times in one month. Clearly it’s the bgymclub making errors and want to end peoples membership through discrimination. I had no interaction with any staff all I did was use the gym after work but the owner claims my card had problems with the payment. I’ve been putting up with their overcharged fees and multiple charges for membership ($30 ) every single month 2 and 3 times when it’s only suppose to be charged once. They had to refund me each time because they kept overcharging my card. Now one night in October I tried to use the gym and I was denied access. This is an American Express card!!!! They don’t deny me anything even when traveling overseas!!! The claim was my payment didn’t go through. On my account the transaction said pending but he canceled the membership because he just didn’t want me in the gym for some reason. If I’ve been paying every single month for a whole year and I’ve been charged multiple times where I had to monitor my accounts to make sure they weren’t stealing from me then their is no other explanation why I was removed from the gym membership besides this owner discriminating members. No interaction what so ever and I paid my membership fee each and every month. You can’t kick someone out of a gym because you charge a card and it said pending. Sometimes the bank takes a little time to get it processed. Don’t need this gym any way. I bought my own and placed it right in my own purchased home. His gym is dirty anyways. The painting on the walls peel off especially in the restroom , stained in the shower and on toilets and they are very tight on space as they keep rearranging equipment because this gym is too congested. Planet fitness is wayyy better than here!!! Save yourself the money and forget this clown because if u read the reviews you will see how the owner discriminate members. They tend to overcharge people accounts for no reason and the place ain even worth $10 membership. The floor cushion always moving from under feet so you might even trip and fall trying to maneuver to equipments. Always have some sort of repair and dust in the gym. They can’t even have a good clear ventilation through out the gym as they have to post signs saying don’t touch the windows because clearly everyone tries to open the windows. Save yourself the time and choose any other gym. I can’t control how the bank works. I use the card to pay bills and shopping but only Bgymclub have an issue with the charges no one else. Clearly he just wanted me removed from the gym as I did nothing but use the gym after work and make the payments each and every single month. I’ll add the photos to show how they play around with charges to prove they over charged me several times. Had I not monitor my transactions they would have stolen hundreds out of my account. Imagine you charge someone for a membership but deny them access even when the payment was cleared. Then want to send a bogus email claiming he refunded the late fee charge and I now have access again. My card is automatically charged from bgymclub so I don’t understand why they had problems charging. I’m now putting a block on all my cards because they like to steal people hard earned money. Trust me don’t join this gym!!! And if you scroll through the 1 star comments you will see the majority bad reviews are men. Take a look you will see!!! I pray and hope they shut...

The gym is clean and quiet. Very good in that regard. Has excellent parking. It's on the smaller side. Think of it as a super hotel gym. Many of the machines are universal, as they can be used for many things. Only one squat rack, that is also the only bench/shoulder press, that is also the only spot to deadlift; so only one powerlifter at a time. They do have a punching bag. There is no dedicated calf machine. Location is also unique, with great views of the Cross Island Parkway. Lots of windows and ventilation. However, management and sales practices can seem a bit sleazy. Arrived, no one was at the front desk. I had to look for someone. Found someone, started offering me lifetime membership ($65 a month, and thats the discount price) immediately, tried to sell me on lotions and towels (dont need that) and about lockers they didnt even have (couldnt find any). Prices are higher than other gyms, odd considering they dont have as much to offer. Also, offering what you dont have rubs me the wrong way. The official cost of a day pass is $30, but if you enter a contract, the $30 goes towards it. Still, it's $30 for less equipment. Pricing, sales practices, and finding employees scare away new customers. Witnessed 4-5 people turn away while i was there. Also has long-term concerns. All it takes is 5-10 members at the same time to make the gym realistically unusable. In that sense, the high price may be justified to keep people out. But they aren't at that point yet. Might be worth checking out if you want privacy or a great view. Heard it was 24 hours, but I never got the chance to find out if that was true. That may also be worth it, if...

Something always felt off about the manager, but I always gave him the benefit of the doubt. Next thing I know picks a fight with me for accusing him of being a creep (which I never did). I was changing in the girls locker room, he yelled hello and I said someone's in here and he still looks in and smiles just to ask if the dryer was on instead of apologizing. I told him he shouldn't be in here, then as soon as I tried to leave he verbally attacked me in front of everyone. He said that he didn't hear me and that I was trying to make him look a certain way and that he didn't like my tone. What I was confused about was that from the same distance, how can he not hear me yell "someone in here" but he can hear my "attitude." He was unnecessarily defensive and really scared me once he got up to yell even more. I think what sucks the most is that I trusted him to make the gym a safe space for me and always tried to be cordial. Regardless if you're a young woman DO NOT come here, he is a ticking time bomb and will take out all his anger on you if you are not...
