Vent Fitness — Local services in Town of Clifton Park

I do not recommend this gym if you are looking to enjoy a workout with modern fitness equipment. The life fitness equipment has been there since it was golds 15 years ago, they finally got a couple extra leg machines and free weight benches but definitely not worth the raise in membership dues. The squat racks that were added are always being used by the high school kids who do 15 sets and just sit there hanging out. I have been to gyms in Vegas, and Nashville, they are light years ahead of this place, they have the best in new equipment, variety and enforce gym rules. The music is always blasting and literally drowns out your ear buds. The music selection is absolutely terrible, it’s that trap hip hop music that nobody wants to listen to. The locker room constantly smells like cat urine, the bathroom stalls are always dirty. On the weekends you might get lucky to have paper towels in the dispenser. The water fountain with the water bottle filler is broken every other day or it will say change filter for 4-5 days before staff will change it, and if you know the type of fountain it gives a warning before the filter needs to be replaced. The men’s sauna has been a disaster for over a year. They got a new heating element only for that to break, or have some sort of electrical issue, and they left the warped door in place with the gaps so the heat escapes. The kicker is the fact there is absolutely no gym etiquette enforced. The kids do not re rack their weights, they hangout on the machines playing on their phones and refuse to get off. The staffs answer is members need to police other members however when you say anything the kids are rude and disrespectful and challenge you. The staff could care less if you cancel your membership because they know they will sign up a dozen more suburbanites who will show up for 2-3 weeks and then never come back but will continue paying the monthly membership. It is unfortunate that this is the only gym north of the twin bridges. What it comes down to is lack of effort or care from management and the owners (the Lia’s), seems like whatever they can do to keep cost low and income high they will do and do it at the sacrifice of good members. If the traffic wasn’t bad i recommend...

One of the worst gyms in the area. Would never suggest to anyone. The place is a joke. They denied me cancelling a membership - where I have not gone in months and have not used their services and never will again- and they say they will continue to charge me monthly & additional fees/late fees- regardless that I asked for cancellation- and refusing to cancel my membership. Where I do NOT go and have not in months. people who go there, put their stuff on machines they’re not using- to keep others who actually go to workout from using it- while they go off and treat it like a social club. Or they stay on a machine, doing nothing, except scrolling on their phones. Nobody says anything. Gym bags and purses brought out on the gym floor causing a tripping hazard- nobody says anything about it either I watched a dirty napkin sit in the same locker for MONTHS- Showing the lack of actual cleaning. They allow males to enter the women’s locker room/bathroom during active gym hours, to do “work” in there and yet I was made to feel highly uncomfortable walking out of a bathroom stall as they abruptly said “male entering” without being given a choice in the matter, this should not be allowed. Women are changing in there and it should be a safe space. Nor should the back room door by the bathroom/sauna be open with a male standing in there, which I’ve come across more than once, as well. Not to mention not only are women changing/showering in there, but teenage girls as well. Their cleaners vacuum during active gym hours, causing tripping hazards and getting right into spaces where you’re trying to workout. Cleaning and fixing should be done after hours.. The gym is too crowded and they keep trying to stuff more things in there but it’s just made it worse. Too many people and not enough space. Too much drama from the younger crowds is allowed, who cause unnecessary issues. If you’re looking for a REAL gym- this isn’t the place to go. It’s about the same quality of planet fitness- with less benefits for the similar priced...

Went here for over a decade and I ended up getting banned from all locations due to an incident in the sauna that I didn’t instigate. It’s the classic two sides of the story but I genuinely was passive the whole time until he tried to come at me. They ended up taking his side because of how upset he was and since he (probably in his late 30’s) had the cops called on me who is a kid in his early twenties who literally just used self defense. The owners of this location are the typical out of touch egotistical drones. Seems to be a general consensus that these two chumps are very condescending to other people. Well at least the lady is. Esposito is a little more down to earth but I don’t agree with the final decision to ban me from all locations when the whole situation is started over fragile egos. I’m able to look at it objectively even while it was happening and after. Even the cop I talked to agreed with me that it should’ve never escalated over me simply pouring a little water on the rocks to heat it up. It’s ridiculous. Maybe people are just on edge with what’s going on in the world which is understandable. I feel bad for the dude after it happened even though he’s the one who really escalated it. Maybe I should’ve asked but literally everyone else but him and one other dude had a problem. I’ve never had this issue before over the 100s of times I used it with...
