Everything that has been said on the reviews of this gym are completely ridiculous. They are just IGNORANT people! This place is absolutely amazing. I read many reviews and they all complain about stupid things. The staff is courteous and polite. The management is great. Any thing i have suggested, they have listened to what i have said and was fixed immediately. 90% of the machines are brand new, and there are flat screens TV's on all the walls. That's if you rather watch TV than enjoy the beautiful New York Skyline.
There were complaints about the shower pressure. what do they expect, a waterfall??? The water pressure is perfectly fine, i have taken showers before. The locker rooms are very clean, they have someone working in there constantly cleaning.
The aerobic classes they have are great, which are offered 7 days a week. People complained about classes being an extra charge. they are complete idiots because out of all the classes they offer(over 50) only ONE of them is charged. If you go to any other gym, they charge for ALL of their classes and their classes aren't even good. the instructors they have at the Palisadium are absolutely amazing and the classes are effective and fun. Although some classes have been cancelled sometimes, almost every time everyone flips out on management, like management can prevent last minute emergencies or sick instructors. They also have great classes that are coming up such as a kickboxing class and self defense class.
The membership fees have gone up, but they are not outrageous. They are even having holiday specials on membership and personal training. Some people do not understand that YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR and the Palisadium has more to offer than any other gym. You can pay a good price for good service at the Palisadium and enjoy a great staff, new machines, a variety of aerobic classes, and the pool or spend $20 a month membership at Bally's or thrive and deal with horrible customer service and a dirty facililty.
Pros: clean facility, great staff, excellent hours, pool
Cons: none
