NEW DORP FITNESS IS OPEN AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN OPEN more

AMAZING Gym, AMAZING Owner!\r 11/21/2012 **((NEW DORP FITNESS IS NOT CLOSED, IT IS STILL FULLY OPERATIONAL AND OPEN IN THE SAME LOCATION))**\r \r I have been a member at New Dorp Fitness for 3 years now (2009-2012), have been working out for 6 years, and for the three years I've been a member at New Dorp Fitness I can honestly say that it is the best gym on Staten Island. From the atmosphere, to the equipment, the staff, the gym members, and most especially the owner, Phil.\r \r From Day 1 that I joined the gym I noticed that Phil expressed value and appreciation for all of his members, including myself. He always tries to give his time to each member and, above all else, he makes each individual member feel special. He treats everyone with respect with his great personality and will help you as much as he can with you fitness, dieting, and personal life goals.\r \r Not only am I a member of this gym, but I am also a personal training client of Phil's. I have been personally trained by Phil for 8 months (and still am today). I came to Phil at 155lbs with the aspiration of becoming a professional wrestler. I told Phil that I wanted to be 200lbs, fit, and in the best physical shape of my life. Day 1 of training i said to him, ""Tell me what to do, and i will do it."" I was given a strict diet plan, personal workout routine and the support and guidance of my new personal trainer. Eight months later and I am already 185lbs (at 5'10""), in the best physical shape of my life and still going strong. Phil not only changed my weight and shape, but he's changed my mindset as well. He showed me that nothing is impossible and that you can achieve anything that you put your mind to. With every gain I achieve and with every step i progress, I am in the best shape of my life, best mental attitude of my life and I feel that this is only the beginning. If you want to be great you have to achieve great things, one step at a time. Phil showed me the road, I ran headstrong and i haven't stopped running since. I would not be, act, or feel the way i do today without the help of Phil. I am grateful to have such a wonderful trainer in such a wonderful environment in New Dorp Fitness. more

\r NOTE: NEW DORP FITNESS DID NOT CLOSE. STILL THE BEST GYM AFTER 15 YEARS.\r \r \r I'VE BEEN A MEMBER OF NEW DORP FITNESS FOR 8 YEARS. MY LIFE HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN. I NEVER FELT CONFIDENT IN MYSELF AND HAD VERY LITTLE ENERGY. MY FRIEND RECOMMENDED NEW DORP FITNESS. SHE SAID NO WHERE ON THE ISLAND COULD YOU GET SUCH KNOWLEDGE AND ATTENTION AS YOU GET FROM PHIL. HE IS THE NICEST,MOST CARING PERSON I EVER MET. HE KEEPS HIS GYM CLEAN AND ORGANIZED. HE CARES ABOUT HIS MEMBERS AND DOES NOT TOLERATE ANY BAD ACTION OR LANGUAGE. IT IS THE MOST FAMILY ORIENTED GYM I KNOW OF. PHIL IS IN BUSINESS FOR 15 YEARS. HE WAS IN CRANES BUSINESS MAGAZINE AND WAS AWARDED MOST SUCCESSFUL SMALL BUSINESS ON THE ISLAND A FEW YEARS AGO. HE OFFERS A 7 DAY TRIAL--SEE FOR YOUR SELF WHAT NEW DORP FITNESS IS. SEEING IS BELIEVING.\r \r NEW DORP FITNESS DID NOT CLOSE. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE THAT INFORMATION CAME FROM.\r \r BUSINESS STARTED IN DEC. 1997. WAS THE BEST THEN IS AND IS STILL THE BEST. I SHOULD KNOW, I'M STILL A MEMBER AFTER 8 YEARS. more

I used to believe I was the type of person who would never improve, no matter what gym I went too. I checked out New Dorp FItness, had a good conversation with the owner, Phil, and I became motivated to try even harder. Phil is a great leader and is someone who will always have an answer to your physical needs. He will make you a fresh routine when you need one and knows exactly what you need to do to improve and what needsimprovement. He will always be 100% honest and I could not love this gym AND owner any more than I currently do. more

He has the best gym on the island!! Not only does phil help you achieve you fitness goals but he boosts your confidence unbelievably! I can tell you one thing, if you do as he says, you will see results. Phil has gotten me in the best shape of my life and I owe him every bit of it. New Dorp Fitness all the way... very nice gym anf friendly people!! more

First of all, my name isn't MArk Mass.. i dont want to have to deal with the man acting all out of his face with me if he finds out who i really am, i know its easy for him to find me in his member book, and i dont want to have to deal with him. So yeah, i'm being a pussy by not giving my real name... ANYHOW... I've been a member of this gym for about 10 years. I like the fact that its quiet when i go before work. Off the top of my head, that’s the only thing i like about this gym. I have issues with the owner. He treats the members like they are crap. . This man thinks he is god’s gift to the world and that he is owed the world. why do you talk about getting tons of ass from women? this is a gym to work out in, not a place to socialize. He treats his employees really bad. It’s a revolving door. He has a new girl every week. Last week i was very disturbed by something. I noticed there is a new girl there. Very friendly and very cute (good job on that hire PHIL!). The girl was crying when he was talking to her and i wanted to smack this guy in the face. I don't know why she was crying but i didn't like it. I wanted to say something to him, but i didn't want to start any trouble. I mind my own business. I wonder if he had a daughter or girlfriend and she was disrespected like he did to this young lady, would he go after the guy? If I see this happen again, I will say something. He can keep my membership! WHY would you treat your employees and members with little or no respect? This guy needs a psychiatrist to get his anger out, maybe get some xanax or valium. He lives in the past with his stories. You’re a washed up juice head. I hope this young lady has a boyfriend or brother, cause if I was her I would let them know what a jerk this man is and there isn’t enough money in the world for his employees to take the abuse. If i see him make this young lady cry again, i am going to say something. As for the gym, i pay yearly and i am always worried that the gym is going to close down and i am going to lose my money. This will be my last year of signing up.Phil, As a member and someone who worries about your behavior, i hope you get some help for your issues. Maybe see a psychologist or go to church more

This gym is disgusting. I was on a 7 day free trial recently. You couldn’t pay me to join this gym. The owner seems to care about you until you pay him, than its all downhill from there. I guess he thinks vacuuming the gym every 4 hours means that his gym is clean. It is so disgusting. The bathrooms smell like a park bathroom that bums hang out in. I’m trying to work out and the workers have to spray while I’m taking in air. There was one girl who was smart and would spray the stuff outside with the door open. Glad I did a guest pass and didn’t pay! I rather go to planet fitness. more

I've been to a lot of different gyms before I came across New Dorp Fitness, and I must say that it is by far the best gym on SI. Not only is it extremely clean, but the owner gives you one on one attention to help you reach your fitness goals. Other gyms I've been to I was just a member who didn't have a clue about working out, so basically I did what I wanted, but at New Dorp Fitness, you do not have a choice but to work out the correct way. Phil, the owner will take time out to articulate a certain exercise, if he feels you are doing it incorrectly. To Phil it's not just about the money, he cares about his members and makes sure they get all they can from their membership. He also does a nutritional guide with you, which I feel is very helpful. The staff is always pleasant and helpful also. I really am well satisfied with this gym and I would recommend it to anyone I know. The pluses also include state of the art equipment, never over crowded, good music, and a very family/friendly atmosphere. I have really benefitted since I've joined and I have lost a lot of weight, thanks to Phil and his awesome workouts. This Gym gets 2 thumbs up. more

New Dorp Fittness is a family studio type gym. This gym is well organized with all of its equipment in place and there is never anything out of place. This is great for anyone serious about keeping themselves in shape and keeping time for training. The owner (Phil) is a great guy and very professional. He provides his knowledge of a Bodybuilder and puts it to work for you by providing excellent workout routines to help you achieve your goals and to stay healthy. He truly knows what works and what does not help. He is also has fantastic knowledge of dieting to help you continue on your journey to good fitness and health. I highly recommend New Dorp Fitness. more

hey more

better off eating pizza at home this place will try to trap you in a contract more

Worst gym ever!! please save yourselves a visit. The owner Phil is such a scammer, he doesn't treat anyone with respect and demands things from you like you owe him a favor (remember your the customer). He treats his gym members like employees, Oh and he more

The reviewer up top has personality disorders seems paranoid. The result of any commingling with staten islanders will be creepy and that's half the fun of living here is to poke at it. I went here mostly because it's close to home, I could bike or jog to this place. I had about around 6 gym memberships in my life in regards to weight training and This gym has been the best so far in terms of me reaching my goal. So helpful in the most basic and helpful ways. Everything you need to get you at your target goal, this gym has. The main fountain of knowledge in this gym lies in the owner, a body building expert with his credentials in photographic memorabilia placed at inclusion and exit. Besides the morale of achieve through hard work interior, the real fountain of knowledge lies with the staff, specifically the owner who regimented a slew of training programs that a HIGHLY RECOMMEND for his members and can customize them to what members would like to achieve. This place is usually dead in the mornings through afternoons and is definitely made for serious gym enthusiasts as the owner counts the hours that it would take for you to complete your training level. If your looking for a gym who puts the extra work in to work on what you want . This would be a great place to start. you could pick up a lot of great habits working out in this gym. more

New Dorp Fitness - Where should I start? First off cleanliness is not even a minor priority. I think the owner thinks if his mirrors are constantly cleaned people wont notice the slime that coats every inch of all the circa 1980's dumbells and Sears special treadmills. There are no dissenfective spray bottles available which im sure is a cost cutting measure.If there are more than 6 people in the gym at the same time it becomes too crowded (not an exaggeration). And with all the severe lack of gym amenitys, the dillusional owner still charges exorbitant prices.Now about the gym owner, Phil. This is one creepy fellow who thinks his gym is his home basement and everyone who joins is automatically his friend. The man is constantly fraternizing with the members to the point of harrassment. He thinks hes the ultimate fitness authority because he won Mr Staten Island in like 1990 which he displays proudly all over his gym. Basically, besides being the ugliest human being on earth, he alone makes the New Dorp Fitness gym experience very uncomfortable! more
