There’s a new thread over on Brooklynian from someone thinking of joining the Bed Stuy YMCA and soliciting feedback. What do you think of it?

  1. Thanks for your comments about the Bed-Stuy Y (I’m the commenter from the Brooklynian board). For those of you who were offended by my comment, I get where you’re coming from, but I didn’t mean my comment about cleanliness and safety in any derogatory way. I’ve belonged to Y’s in the past and had my locker broken into and all my things stolen at a Y in another city a few years ago, so that is why I asked. We’re cool, Brooklyn.

  2. I was a member for a few years and finally it just wore me out. it is nice physically, but tiny and badly laid out. the staff at the front desk are rude and ignore you until you are forced to say excuse me pretty loudly, at which point they give you attitude. As a woman it was also unpleasant to have such a small stretching area (TINY) and have the weightlifters openly staring when you’re trying to stretch. not fun. I wanted to like it and I put in my time, but I just felt like it’s hard enough to exercise and I was ending up dreading it for a host of other reasons…
    But, to reiterate, I think they did a nice job cleaning it up and it is clean.

  3. planet fitness at $10 sounds great, but sounds further even than the Y for me at least.
    Maybe we can get mr. B to do a poll about who would go to a gym, say… at the absolute on myrtle for example.
