I also was surprised to read some negative reviews - my experience at Harbor has been uniformly excellent. My roommate joined in about 2002 and when he moved out passed his membership on to me several years later, and they didn't raise the rate, which I thought was incredibly generous. When they raised rates on personal training (to what I think is still a very reasonable rate), long-term clients still pay less than new ones.
The reception does have high turnover, but everyone who works there is friendly and seems to learn clients' names quickly, a nice touch. Some of the equipment is old, but it's still functional, and over the last several months they've been bringing in a lot of new machines to upgrade.
My one complaint would be that the variety of classes isn't so great, but there are still some good ones - just not as many as you might get at a bigger place with more space.
Pros: friendly staff, good equipment, pleasant atmosphere
Cons: not much variety in the classes

I agree with unfair. I have been a member at Harbor since before the Park Slope location opened. Never been treated rudely, never problems with charges. Even though there is significant turnover in staff, I am always politely greeted when I step through the doors. As for old equipment, I have no complaints, and they just purchased new TVs across the gym.

I have belonged to several gyms in Brooklyn over the years and this one is BY FAR the best! For the price you pay you couldn't get half of what they offer at any other club in the city. I have been a member for almost 6 months now and really feel like my dollar goes a long way here (u know how important that is now-a-days). They offer tons of services (half of which I don't even use), warm smiles and friendly attitudes, and unbeatable hours (24 hours during the week and late on the weekends). While I do admit that some equipment needs to be updated, most of it is state of the art, clean, and almost never a wait to be used!! I highly recommend u check this place out. Get this... they even GUARANTEE in your contract that they will NEVER RAISE YOUR MEMBERSHIP DUES!! Seriously. Try getting that at some other gym
Pros: Lots and lots and lots of free classes!
Cons: too cold

This is the first time I ever wrote a review. The only reason why I am now is because I felt compelled to after reading these previous 2 reviews. Further... It is obvious that the same person wrote both reviews! I have been a member of Harbor Fitness since they opened 8 years ago. I have frozen and canceled my membership several times for personal reasons and have never had a problem and I always returned. I keep coming back because the management has always gone over and beyond the call of duty to make me happy. The individual who wrote the last comment obviously failed to follow what was required and is taking it out unfairly on the club and on Mike in particular! I know him for years and has always been a perfect gentleman to my partner and myself.
Pros: fresh juice bar, excellent staff
Cons: no windows to look out while exercising

I've been trying to cancel my membership with this gym since September 23, 2008 but I'm still getting charged. Spoke to a member counselor who asked me to put it writing and leave it at the front desk (which I did) and that I would have to be charged for October because they needed 30 day notice. I wasn't please about this because my next membership due was scheduled to be charged on the 8th and this place is no high class operation. But here it is November and I'm still being charged. I spoke to the owner Mike which told me he didn't care to offer me customer service because I wasn't his customer anymore. Classy, right?
If you must choose this gym and not one of the half dozen other options in the area use a major credit card with fraud alert.
Pros: a clean but run-down operation.
Cons: Rude owner and staff.

This mob run money hungry operation doesn't even deserve even one star. Beware, they've been know to double charge your credit card for the same month. They know nothing about customer service. The machines are run down and instead of fixing them they raise the rates and the personal training rates. Go to NYSC or any of the local establishments instead.
Pros: open late
Cons: inexperienced and rude staff, inconsistent rates and poor customer service, run down bikes and ellipticals.

My experience at this facility over the last year has been very positive. The equipment is varied and available almost always. Hours are extensive and staff members are friendly and helpful. Membership includes option to participate in various exercise programs including spinning, yoga, and pilates. I would recommend this gym to anyone I know who wants to exercise in a clean and enjoyable environment.
Pros: hours, floor space, number of machines, towel service
Cons: no serious negatives from my perspective
