I signed my 8 year old son up for private swimming lessons for an hour. Dealing with Aquatics manager Amy was awesome. I decided I would make an appointment in the Spa Armand at the same time. My legs have never looked so good!!! Smooth and no bumps!!! If you want The perfect hair removal see Sonia!!! Sonia did wonders for my hair removal and now I’m wearing a bathing suit with no worries!!! My son learned So much from Anne in his hour long private lesson!!!

Recently signed up for a year membership when they had a month long special waiving the enrollment fee. This place is awesome, 2 floors, tons of equipment, huge olympic size pool for swimming laps, tennis courts, a pub and much more. Three minutes from home, no complaints! *This review is specifically for the health club portion of the Kingsbury club not the Salon, I am not a customer there.

I belonged for 2 years from 2007 – 2009, and it was an okay gym but lacked«the little things», such as shampoo/conditioner/soap in the showers(I hate having to lug my own), and forget about q-tips or cotton balls. The hair dryers are scarce, and are a low-wattage budget version. There is a dry sauna, but it seldom got hotter than 70 degrees when I was there, if it worked at all. No steam sauna. No swimsuit dryer. Locker room is usually freezing. And if I remember correctly, they charged an extra $ 10/month for TOWELS(on top of a ridiculously pricey $ 80/month for membership!!!). I had just moved from NYC in 2007(and was a longtime member of Equinox) so I was spoiled I guess. Also not included is use of the tennis court. Pool use IS included! Amazing that isn’t another a la carte item, ha ha ha. As other reviews have noted, the equipment is rickety and outdated, and the cardio equipment didn’t have individual TVs, so you were forced to watch the giant flatscreens. However, if you try to ask for MTV, some of the conservative gym employees won’t allow it b/c it’s indecent! Ha ha. There are a lot of families walking around in the gym. Which brings me to my next point about the 2 locker rooms, one of which is a «family» locker room. if you dare bring any child over the age of 1 into the«adult» locker room, you may draw the ire of crazy locker room ladies who’ll remind you about the«family» room’s existence. The child care facility is similarly low-budget(you may sense a theme here!!), but it’s not expensive, either(about $ 2−3/hr per child). The kids who staff the room are sweet. They do their best to reign in temper tantrums and inconsolable tots. Classes are also just ok. .. there are 2 rooms, and they are tiny(yoga on carpet? ew!). They get super crowded, especially on the weekends. Basically, if this gym were like $ 20/month, it’d be worth it. One good thing is that the staff is nice. Is it mean that I wish it gets bought out by en Equinox or even a BSC one day?

Im a member because there are so few options, but really. its time to update this place. The mens locker room, and especially showers, are disgusting. They haven’t bought new towels in probable 10 years. The restaurant is closed on Sundays! Really! Close it on Tuesday and Wednesday and have football/games available for members to watch after a good workout. Please update the facilities. Its no wonder you have to lower your prices and have membership drives now.

The Kingsbury Club is what I would call a full service gym that is geared toward families. There is the usual gym equipment(treadmills, weight machines, elliptical), but there is a day spa, a pub, child care center, heated pool, and tennis courts. The heated pool is a little chilly(despite it being heated) and does stay open year round(they put up a pressurized bubble in the winter). The pub is convenient if you want to grab some food and drink after your workout. Most of the food is average but they have a decent selection of beers. The childcare center is great but not included with your membership so there is an extra fee. There are lots of classes but many are during the day. Not so convenient for those of us that work. For me, this place is convenient as it is just a few miles from home and my commute takes me by there every day. THis leaves no excuse for me not to work out. I do not take advantage of many of the extras they offer since I have no desire to hang around once my workout is done. But for those families with a stay at home parent or for those people that like hanging out in their spandex, then this is as good a place to spend some time.
