Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a clean and reasonably priced Gym in the Lynbrook/East Rockaway area. Anywhere that is within a 5 minute drive from the area is fine. My wife and I are are close to buying a house in the area and I would like to join a gym in the area.

I would prefer a place that has a good amount of cardio equipment such as ellipticals and bikes. Clean locker rooms are preferred. Currently I'm a member of a gym in the city but they charge over $70 a month. But once we purchase our house I know there are certain things I'm going to have to cut back on.

I was looking at Balley's in Rockville Centre but the reviews of that place are not good.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

My only recommendation is to avoid Bally's. You get what you pay for there.

I go to NY sports club in Oceanside, and it’s great. It’s close enough to East Rockaway if that helps.

Yea, my husband used to be a member at Ballys in Rockville Centre. Gross. I refused to go there, so I'd pay triple the membership for Crunch in the city. Glad I found NYSC in Oceanside Plus, if you get a passport membership, you can go to all of the other clubs in NY as well.

I live in ER. We actually have 2 gyms (Gennaro & ROK- just opened) and 2 martial arts centers. No idea on pricing, but check it out.

To be a little more specific I'm looking to pay about $30 or less a month for a basic gym. I've been to a couple of NY Sports Clubs and I found them all to be over priced and not worth it.

I'm currently a member of 24 Hour Fitness in NYC and I pay ~$70 a month. The gym is exceptional. They have a plethora or equipment and machines. The bathroom are very clean and you don't have weirdo's walking around with their junk hanging out like their in a Turkish bath house. I would love to stay at this gym but I need to make some cutbacks.

Has anyone tied Valley Fitness in Valley Stream? It seams decent and prices are right up my alley.

My husband and I pay $59 per month. We have a city discount, but maybe there are other discounts.

Dolphin Fitness in RVC is pretty good. That's $25 a month, no commitment fee.
