Harro East Athletic Club

Fantastic experience: I work there one one long ago good gun

Fantastic experience: I love this place!! I've been a member for years! The equiptment is good, it's not brand new, but it all works great. The pool, hot tub, sauna, and steam room are a great thing to have after a work out. The cost of the membership for what you get is GREAT! It's always comfortable and I never have to wait for exercize machines; they have a large number of machines! Managment is good, all but one of the staff members are the friendliest people and so helpful! I would never go someplace else. I've tried other places and they're too expensive, try and sell you stuff all of the time, and you don't get access you do here.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! It's such a hidden gem I almost didn't write this review to keep it secret. It's so funky and unique. Every time period is represented in here from the early 1900's to current and I LOVE THAT! It's so unique and divied up like they added on as they went. It's got lots of private spaces to work out and it's amazing what they have to offer. The ladies also have access to a steam room and a sauna in the locker room. A locker room with a little living room and tv in it! It's just amazing. So glad we found it❤️

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place.

Positive experience: Nice, old gym. This place has been here since I was a child. I'd make this a Rochester historical site LOL. Has a gym, basketball court, swimming pool. Staff is nice. Clean towels. I'd just wish they stayed open later.

Fantastic experience: Great place

Fantastic experience: . I am astounded that someone would complain about the state of the pool at Harrow East. I have been a member for two decades and can recall only a few occasions when the pool was a bit cloudy. It was never a yellow colour. I have owned a 38 foot pool for more than thirty years and it can be a real challenge to keep it clean when lots of people are swimming in it. At Harrow East, hundreds of people use the pool every day and the water can be affected by cosmetics, oils and dirt. Gabrielle does a remarkable job of maintaining the high standards of the pool and the gym equipment. Harrow East is like a close-knit family and I have tried other gyms, but none of them have the same range of facilities, including a gorgeous pool.

Positive experience: I came to this health club to see if it would meet my needs, but the person at the desk didn't seem to understand my question. She asked me what "level" of membership I wanted, but she hadn't informed me of any of the available options. I was at a loss as to how to answer her since I had no idea what the different "levels" were.

Fantastic experience: This gym has been my go-to for nearly 20 years. It is the most comprehensive in terms of people and equipment, and the staff is highly experienced and knowledgeable. The renovation has kept the gym in top-notch condition, and I have always been in great shape when I have trained there for extended periods. It is not overcrowded, and the members are all wonderful people. I have always felt welcomed and at home here.

Positive experience: The best club in town, many workout machines, and a great "clean" pool.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience at Harro East fitness today. Gabrielle showed me around and was very friendly. The club has a lot of character and a classic atmosphere, especially in the weightlifting area with its iron 45s. I highly recommend it if you're looking for something different from the national chains and more features than the local gym.

Fantastic experience: Great community and really helpful instructors.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere.....I can go and workout and not feel crowded

Fantastic experience: Great gym, has everything

Positive experience: Great place to workout with many options

Positive experience: Facilities are a little old. But it's a great club. Feels very much like a NYC health club

Positive experience: Good home feeling nice people no pressure

Fantastic experience: Good place to exercise

Positive experience: I struggle with this place daily. I have a good rate and the facility is usually a ghost town when I workout so no complaints there. The problem is I have locker and laundry service which is starting to make little sense. My clothes have never been returned to the locker so I have to hunt down the housekeeping staff who apologize every time, yet nothing changes. I'm there every day - you'd think they'd something already! Oh yeah, their cardio room is okay. They have an extensive weight room with multiple sets of free weights, plates, benches, machines and the like so you're never in anyone's way. and there's enough mirrors where you can check yourself out from EVERY angle. The men's locker room is a bit awkward. There are two lounge areas - one with a T.V. and couches, the other lined with cube lockers. Another room has the full length lockers, sinks, toilet areas and leads to the showers. There isn't enough room in this area and gets cramped during the morning and evening rushes. Overall, I really can't complain because I still get done what I need to and I'm paying almost nothing. I just wish it were a more comfortable experience.

Positive experience: It's an old building whose age shows, but the people are very nice... especially Tom who is also an amazing yoga instructor. Go see him if you can!

Fantastic experience: Quiet, low-key gym with everything that I could ask for, as far as equipment and amenities. And the staff is friendly and responsive, to boot. They offer tons of classes, included in the price of the membership, so there is plenty to try.
