The instructors and workouts are excellent, but the management is disappointing. Two years ago, I joined with a trial special, planning on trying them out and if I liked it then I would sign up. On the first day, they pressured me into a year-long commitment. A year later, due to a family emergency (immediate family in the hospital), I had to leave the state and didn't know when I'd be back in NY. When I asked to cancel my remaining month, they insisted on an upfront payment or paying a fee to cancel which would've been more than my one month payment that I had left. Recently, I received a promotion email offering $1 for a month for previous members. I just got back to NY a month ago and thought I'd give them another try, but it turned out I had to commit to a package before I can do the $1 month promotion, not mentioned in the email. When I asked the person who called me if this was in the fine print in the email, she told me "no, this is why I'm calling and telling you." It felt like a bait-and-switch tactic. This was extremely misleading. Despite the great workouts, the pushy and money-focused management is off-putting.

Was looking for a place to workout and stumbled upon this spot. I've taken 2 classes so far and loved both instructors. They bring lots of energy and support to all the students & pushes us to do our best. The classes were great and had me sore the next day! I took both classes on a weekday and it was very easy to find parking nearby. Would highly recommend!

Recently came out to this location after taking class with Adib at another location! He always keeps you hyped, engaged and motivated. His classes are top notch and he helps everyone. Adib is one of the reasons why I have kept up with BBB. It is important to have a trainer that loves what they do and is able to keep you inspired and is encouraging to help you get the best workout you can. You get out what you put it but trainers also make a world of a difference. Highly recommend trying it out!

After having 2 kids in under 2 years I was extremely Insecure in my new body. I decided at 6 weeks postpartum with my second baby to workout for the first time and wanted to give better body a try. I was so nervous that I wouldn't be able to keep up or that I would be judged by people in there. I could not have been more wrong. The trainer's were so understanding of some of my limitations after just having a baby and were so amazing with giving me modifications to certain moves I wasn't ready for yet. From the moment I walked in to my first class, Kathy at the front desk was so kind and welcoming and Jonathan the trainer greeted me right away. Ive loved every trainer i've met there and you can count on every class being amazing no matter who you go to. Everyone at better body bayside really makes it a point to know your name individually and form relationships with everyone that walks in and you instantly feel so comfortable there. That was almost 3 months ago and I haven't stopped going since. Better body has given me back a confidence I haven't had in years. I feel stronger than I ever have before and I can't see myself ever stopping. Being a stay at home mom, I look forward to my classes all day long it's like my home away from home and there's truly no better feeling after completing a class. I've recommended better body to all my friends and family it truly is so amazing!! If you're on the fence about joining don't even hesitate you wont regret it!

Bayside is the BEST SIDE babiii People work out for different reasons. Some need that endorphin rush. Some have pent up anger. Some wanna look hot, whatever that means to them. I started going to BBB because if I ever got into a fight at a bar, I wanted to feel confident kicking someone's ass. Plain and simple. I'm 5'1 so... Napoleonic Complex I guess? I LOVE BBB at Bayside because well first of all there is actual parking next door for it. Parking for a classes-only gym... In QUEENS?? Unheard of. But more importantly, everyone is serious about fitness and works really hard exercising, but no one takes themSELVES too seriously. It's not a popularity contest. It's mostly young professionals who are there to do their thing, hype you up if necessary, and peace out. The music pumps you up, and like my favorite instructor Carlos says, this place encourages you to "Eat something healthy and don't be a jerk".

I started with this gym June 2022 and have no regrets! I'm 9 months in and have lost 32lbs. As soon as you walk in you're welcomed with the warmest energy. If you're new to working out with HITT fitness they really take their time to explain it to you without making you feel uncomfortable. Their workouts are full of energy and there is always something new they introduce to the workouts so it's never the same thing. I was serious about my fitness goals and with better body bootcamp's help I achieved them and gained a community with the same mindset. I highly recommended you try this gym!

Pros:+ Great instructors+ Lots of motivation to continue with fitness+ Discounts from signing up for a long term contract.Cons:- Pricey- Limited Parking- Limited changing rooms - HUGE CON for me, because it makes it difficult to go to work after working out- No water fountains - They do sell water bottles, but I think it's super silly to have a gym/bootcamp, but limited access to water.

BBB is the place to be . The atmosphere in there is absolutely amazing. Every single trainer I have came across has been hands down inspirational. As a person who was scared of her own shadow this place makes you feel like you’re on top of the world thanks to the amazing trainers and workouts they plan. Not only that . Every single location is so convenient to get to. Thank you BBB!

BBB changed my life. I went from being sad and tired to full of life and energetic. Workouts are tough but the trainers and others around you offer unlimited support and help you push through. If you are looking for a supportive, motivating group to go on a weight loss journey or just get in shape choose BBB.

BBB helped me with commitment, encouragement, and fun! I attend BBB classes 5-6 days a week and have seen my clothes sizes drop and my body tone! The staff and trainers are friendly and very informative. This location gives club vibes which is a plus!

YOU WILL BE SCAMMED HERE!! AND THEIR WORKOUTS R MAINLY FOR MUSCLE NOT FOR WEIGHT LOSS NOT EVEN REALLY EFFECTIVE I went here and paid for the full 1 yr membership and maybe yes I did mishear the manager there since she was literally going at it on the phone saying she told me a million times and made it "specifically clear" to me that nothing here is refundable AT ALL! But still you don't just eat the 1 year MEMBERSHIP RIGHT AWAY and IVE LITERALLY ONLY BEEN THERE 5 TIMES!! SO LIKE THEY COULD HAVE AT LEAST GAVE A QUARTER OR HALF OF THE MONEY BACK!!! What type of "business" doesn't have a refund policy on the money back or anything? These people are scammers and con artists and they talk and word words very well to pin everything on you just to keep the money they love to make customers pick the group 1 yr membership because they make 10x the money from it than anything else they offer! They don't take no as an answer and I heard more terrible stories from people here! I should have known better my fault for purchasing such a big thing at once but a business shouldn't do that and JUST CANT DO THAT! They don't even let you cancel your membership as proof since if they do you can sue them or something and their excuses is going to be "we left it open she can come anytime she didn't choose to and she signed the contract". Which could be true with the contract BUT YOU SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE A LITTLE MONEY BACK!! They even rely back to bad reviews in an essay and word it very very well these people have been in the scamming business for some time man. THEY JUST ATE UP MY $1699!!!!

I joined BBB last year in August; long story short I hated going to the gym for as long as I could remember, and this totally changed my mindset. I actually look forward to coming to the classes everyday! :)
