Negative experience: I attended Mike Ortega‘s health and fitness center in hopes of acquiring a monthly membership. I obtained a guest pass for the day to check out the facilities. During this time I witnessed a hostile incident between and already existing member and a staff member by the name of Janet. She was not friendly, nor was she professional. The Staff proceeded to get the owner that was near, and the owner insisted on calling the police, because somebody was walking backwards on a treadmill. I’ve heard a lot about this gym targeting a specific older age group for their clients. The whole situation felt very discriminatory to me, And it’s very unfortunate that the owner did not resolve the issue, or do anything to make the situation better. The staff at Mike Arteagas and the owner were not “caring and they were not ready to help“ nor “Did I get the feeling that they really cared about health and fitness goals“ as said in their mission statement after witnessing this interaction. Everybody knows that walking backwards on a treadmill improves balance, helps knee joints, and strengthens the supporting muscle. There were no signs that indicated that this was against the rules and regulations of the gym and to use your power of authority to make rules on the whim for something so absurd that you threaten to cancel someone’s membership and call the police is something that I’ve never heard of. I will not be obtaining a membership at this gym. And I hope this review helps who it needs to, to determine whether or not they should spend their hard earned money at a facility that treats their members this way. There are much better gyms in the area that make you feel welcomed & respected. Save yourself the time, and the money!

Negative experience: So there are some good things, and some bad things about Mike Arteagas. I was a member for a year and ultimately decided to unsubscribe because hell is other people. The Good: The equipment and facilities are the best in the area, at least on paper. Newish machines, lots of different areas, a pool, a field house, personal training, etc. It doesn't compare to a top notch gym in the city, but it's the best facilities for the area. With that said... The Bad: The staff and the members. The "official" rules of the pool are that you are allowed to reserve a half hour time slot. If you're not known to Arteaga's staff and members, they will enforce this zealously. However, some of the members, who seem to have been coming for years, will take up to two hours in a swim lane, and get grumpy if you ask them to leave (despite the fact that you have a reservation). I complained multiple times only to hear "Oh, well Tom likes to swim at least an hour." That's great, I'd like to swim an hour, how can I reserve? "Oh well you can't reserve an hour." Ummmm. So what makes Tom special and why does he get my swim lane during my reservation? Also, the two hours is not exaggeration. One woman who was extremely grumpy about getting asked to leave a reserved lane was swimming when I came in for a workout, swimming an hour later when I was in the sauna, and still swimming when I tried to get my reserved time. There's also weird rules that may or may not get enforced. Like bring in a kickboard to isolate your leg stroke and focus on improvement? They may or may not tell you you're not allowed to have it. It's just whoever is on duty. Lastly, a lot of ignorant folks go here. You can walk in the sauna and have somebody blasting their music. Or a couple old dudes talking about how the immigrants are ruining the country. It's a shame because the facilities are nice, but it's such a pain dealing with all the drama, I couldn't justify it long term.

Positive experience: Best gym and equipment in the area. The force machines are amazing, and the cold plunge and sauna is most of the reason I am a member. It’s a shame that the gym opens too late to be convenient and the pool opens/ closes too early. If you have a 9-5 or any job requiring similar hours it’s nearly impossible to get a good ice bath/sauna session, especially if you want to do a workout first

Alfred Torreggiani 1 year ago

Amiri Gonzalez 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I just started going here roughly a month. I used to be a member at All Sports when I lived in Hopewell Junction. Great place so far. Plenty of machines, unique Xforce machines which focus on the negative muscle tension. They have a sauna and 1 internal pool. There is a movie theater for bike exercise and they do have a room called a posing room (I have never seen that before). They have a stretching section which is unique and upstairs their is an aerobic room. They are under construction now so look forward to what it will look like. I like that they make joining very easy. Do it online and you are done. The price is good as well. They have a special section for those with back pain. There is more than what I am just noticing as well. I am more of a wifit and cardio person and they have sections for those with ample space and equipment. I would like to see a smoothie bar with healthy foods, a steam room and some activities for kids but nothing that deters me from going.

Negative experience: As an avid athlete, I have been to quite a few gyms. While Mike’s is a nice facility with great equipment, it simply does not set a high bar when it comes to attention to detail, customer service, and hourly operations. First: The biggest complaint I hear about everyday from multiple people is the sauna’s hours. The gym “allegedly,” opens at 6 but the sauna opens at 730. I brought this to the attention of a supervisor with the goal of giving a suggestion that many people would benefit from. She blew me off, didn’t write it down and said, “this is such an easy suggestion that I don’t need to write it down.” My suggestion to her is, then don’t walk over with pen and paper because now you look like a jerk. Second; This gym has beautiful amenities and equipment, but the staff doesn’t seem to have any care about keeping it organized in the least bit. Don’t get me wrong, some of them are great and hard working but 30% of the staff can’t pick up the slack of the other 70%. As far as a gym goes, this gym is one of, if not, the most unorganized and disheveled I have been to. Last but not least: Every single morning the staff opens the doors at least 2 minutes late. This is just unproductive and unprofessional. Your hours are already some of the least competitive around. The only reason I am here is because it seems like a decent option with a sauna and cold plunge, very close to home. Now you aren’t opening your doors at 6 am but 6:02 or 6:03. These small things are what tells me that the staff here really doesn’t seem to give a damn. Their main priority appears to be doing the bare minimum to get paid and go home. What they don’t understand is that they work in customer service. Overall; nice gym with some mediocre staff and bad vibes. I’ll be checking out Gold’s this week. From what I hear they have a sauna that opens when their doors open and not 90 mins after. Furthermore, they have good vibes.

Bruce Bevins 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent exercise facility with an extensive amount of equipment and the space to hold all of it. Staff is both friendly and helpful. A feature never seen in any other gym, a certified trainer available to help you with any equipment on the machines level. The pool is very popular but not my thing. Cardio equipment is extensive and ALL equipment is well maintained. Lots of classes; and I keep meaning to get back to yoga. All this and more included in the low membership fee. Oh! If you have neck or back issues, check out the very beneficial programs available to help alleviate the problem. This facility is a total winner in my book!

Kev Fitz 1 year ago

Positive experience: I only went a couple times so far and everything seems nice, and they're doing some remodeling in the front entrance. The only thing I was disappointed about was the pool only had 3 swimming lanes, and nowhere to just hangout in the pool. Lastly, if you're handicapped, this seems really tough to get around everywhere (I didn't notice elevators (theres an upstairs and downstairs).

Fantastic experience: Absolutely great gym. Even better community. Been coming here for the free weight areas since it first opened back up from lockdown. I've made many great friends and connections.

Negative experience: There is this one life guard who has no customer service skills. She’s the oldest one there, works the morning hours. She’s heavyset and wears glasses. I always respect the 15 minute hot tub rule. When it’s time, I sit on the edge of the tub and dangle my feet in there. Apparently that’s not good enough for her. She tells me I have to be all the way out and that I can’t be near it. When that wasn’t good enough for her she tattletales on me. She is a complete hypocrite because you’ve got all these other members who stay past 15 min in the sauna but never says anything to them. All the other life guards have no problem with me taking my hot tub breaks with my feet dangling in there. She has serious customer issues and I don’t think the spa area is right for her to work in.

Negative experience: Gym is good. Nice equipment, nothing to complain about. The staff is not. The amount of rules this place has is comical. They are so strict about everything and all of the “trainers” think they know it all. Most of them aren’t even in shape themselves. Very ironic.

Positive experience: Went for the first time and the place is huge. Not too many people, though the machines are on the older side. But I wish they would crank the air conditioning everywhere instead of just the cardio cinema. I'm not doing cardio, I'm lifting weights. Why can't I get AC?

Onesha Cora 2 years ago

Positive experience: As I approach my three year membership anniversary I’m proud to say my experience at Mike’s has consistently been above average. Mike’s atmosphere has contributed to the success of my fitness journey; it’s cleanliness, quality and equipment is top 3 in dutchess. As a local business owner this facility provides me the safe environment, mature crowd, and overall quality standard I desire in a wellness center. As of late the facility has been undergoing structural improvements which is exciting but I never quite understood why businesses invest in such significant changes without considering their consumers. Had “We” the consumers have been surveyed we would’ve definitely voted on the expansion of the sauna over instillation of hydro massage beds. The sauna is approximately 200sqft. Usually containing 8+ persons making it seldom to enjoy a decent sweat session.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic club. Best I've ever been to in 50 years of working out. Crisp, clean and friendly knowledgeable staff and Trainers. Wide, wide, wide variety of machines. And the "Cardio Cinema" is fantastic and one of a kind in the area. You can literally sit in there and do cardio on a bike or tredmill in a movie theater while watching feature films. Love it.

Fantastic experience: Super clean gym with hard-to-find, super-effective X-Force machines; it's like having a 5-star restaurant around the corner from your house!

Steph Smith 2 years ago

Negative experience: Most of the TVs do not work, half of the machines are from the 80s-90s, the womens locker room doesn’t have a TV like the men’s (explicit sexism). The gym goers mostly consist of old creepy men trying to make eye contact, conversations, and have been harassed on my way out in the parking lot before. There’s a lot of potential here, but things need change. The cardio theater would be cool if they put on a different movie every day. I can’t watch super troopers 3-4 days in a row. Get some newer movies. No one wants to walk to a war movie from 1990. You can’t drink anything but clear water in here- no preworkout etc. i have to say my full name to sign into the gym and need to spell it out, so not a safe procedure. There are always children coming from the pool and completely old naked ladies in the locker room with no sense of gym decorum. You can’t use the class room space for hiit or anything when there aren’t classes. Management needs to make proper updates.

Fantastic experience: My husband & I have been members since 2000. We have always found both locations to be very clean, have a friendly staff & they are always looking for ways to improve w new equipment, etc. Mike & his staff encourage everyone to be "healthy" not bulked w muscles but, the stronger I get, the better I feel...physically & mentally.

Fantastic experience: Everyone at this gym is very nice I go for the healthy back and neck program and it is a great program. My boyfriend also does the back program and he loves it. We started doing the XForce circuit almost a year ago, and can see and feel the difference. I feel stronger in my core and in my muscles as well. The pool is amazing along with the hot tub & sauna. They have a cardio theater there where you can work out on bikes treadmills and ellipticals and watch the movie of the day. There are so many things to do at this gym with the classes, the pool the different works out stations and racquetball.

Negative experience: Equipment is nice. Staff is terrible and so is the pricing. Staff clearly isn't that knowledgeable on fitness, and they all seem super clicky and judgmental. They have all these obscure rules you would think you're back in grade school. Hours are also terrible.

Margo Ali 3 years ago

Negative experience: Facilities and equipment are good, staff and rules are intolerable. I felt like I was in grade school with all the ridiculous rules, the staff are tyrants and gossipy. They pretend to be friendly but it's fake. I always felt uncomfortable at the gym due to the staff. I eventually stopped coming due to the staff. The wonderful equipment was just not worth the most expensive gym membership I ever paid because the staff made me feel unwelcome. I now attend a new lower priced gym with similar facilities, no stupid rules and friendly staff that treat me like a normal person. The staff truly get off on enforcing rules and gossiping about members- no respect.

Positive experience: It's a mixed bag review for Arteaga's Poughkeepsie location. I'll lay out the pros and cons from my perspective. Pros: Clean facility Friendly staff Diversity of equipment Cons: Bent bars in the weight room Poorly organized plates Incomplete sets of plates at power racks My constructive criticism for staff is that the weight room needs more respect from lifters and better organization of the plates. It's common for plate pairs to be missing or buried under other denominations of plates and stacked asymmetrically among the racks. There are three power racks in the lower weight room as of March 2022. Each one would function independently with this list of gear: collars (1 pair) 2.5, 5, 25lb plates (1 pair each) 10lb plates (2 pairs) 45lb plates (as needed) Arteaga's has potential, but right now I'm giving it a mixed bag review.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at this gym for a few years now and still love it! The staff makes me feel so welcome - many remember my name and are always friendly and helpful. The atmosphere here keeps me coming back! The classes are great. The gym is always clean and they seem to always have someone cleaning at all times! They have a bunch of fancy air filters which is great for those worried about covid. They have really awesome weight machines that no one else has around here - x-force!! I never touched a weight machine until here and I actually look forward to using the x-force machines - talk about a good nights sleep along with muscle building/toning results! My husband benefits from the healthy back and neck program. We never had a bad experience here and I am always encouraging family and friends to join!

Martha Agresta 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of this gym for years and it is one of the best since my community gym in Brooklyn. Joseph Garcia who left a very long 1-star review is totally wrong, and his review prompted me to write this. I can’t speak to free weights, as I’m not a gym rat like JG. I am a woman in her 50s trying to stay fit and healthy. The machines are of excellent quality and there is always a staff member available to help or give fitness advice. Everyone is friendly, and there is rarely a wait for entry, though I do make an effort, especially during covid, to go at less popular times of day. Everything is clean and well organized, and that may have to do with the lack of sticky beverages that, as Mr Garcia notes, are not allowed and therefore, as he also notes, haven’t had the opportunity to be spilled. Mr. G is also wrong about member demographics, as I see mostly adults and older adults. I suspect that Mr G was considering opening his own gym and is seeking to devalue the competition or is simply a disgruntled individual seeking revenge, as my experience bears no resemblance to his.

Pros: It's big Not crowded Calm Not too much of a gym bro atmosphere Lots of machines and spread out over multiple floors Cons: Always a wait for the cable machines Seem to have purchased new weird xforce machines monitored by staff instead of new regular equipment you can use independently Closes early on the weekends

Fantastic experience: I like this gym, very much. It is clean, friendly, helpful. I have recently signed up for my second membership, it’s great to be back. My recommendation would be: more classes for those of us who work in the city, and definitely don’t work 9-5. I do appreciate how Mike treats his staff, seems employee-friendly, and as a business owner, I appreciate that (even if it means they’re closed early on certain holidays). Would love a family membership too.

Fantastic experience: COMPREHENSIVE: more varieties of equipment than any in the region: circuits, free weights, specialized back and neck program, paddleball court; pool, sauna, cold dip; wide array of classes, yoga, step, bike, Zumba, etc. throuhout the day. CLEAN: Nothing is allowed to get dirty or worn. STAFF: Professional and friendly.

Negative experience: Older staff at the desk are rude. Equipment is outdated. Super expensive. Classes are crowded and the hours are not good for anyone who doesn’t have a 9-5 schedule. If you do have a 9-5 schedule it get super crowded on machines. Beware the annual fee, too. They only had my partner sign the paperwork so I didn’t know it existed. It’s 2019, maybe they should go over all the paperwork with every adult instead of allowing one adult to sign for another. Seemed unprofessional and a bit illegal. Hopefully they will update their business practices.

Joseph garcia 6 years ago

Negative experience: I've been an avid gym goer and self proclaimed fitness junkie for a long time I've been to every kind of gym. I spent two years studying personal training. I've been to multiple planet fitnesses, gold gyms, CrossFit gyms, family run gyms, and power lifters gyms. A gym culture is really important for people and it really determines if you wanna stay I've been in this gym half a year. It's awful. You have much better choices in the area if you look or are willing to drive. So let's start with the gym culture The people are primarily college age. This isn't bad issue is none and I mean almost all, don't re-rack weights or place them in there correct spots. 40 pound dumbbells go in the 40 pound spot. Why do I have to search for it like Marco Polo in the desert to do my set. You have employees there you either need to encourage members to re rack weights or have staff fix the place. Same goes for the weight plates might I add. Why do I need to dig through the 5s and 25s to reach the 35s. It's not extra exercise it's frustrating. I went to grade school I know how to match shapes what's going on here. This is annoying but the people are also just rude. Very stuffy it's hard for me to strike that against the gym but if you go to a lot of gyms and you notice the members act differently at each. You'll understand what I mean. Say what you will about planet fitness members, at those gyms people tend to be quiet keep to themselves. Go to a family run gym or powerlifter gym. Everyone is kind and helpful. A positive community that encourages fitness. Mike Arteaga's does the opposite. This is another pet peeve but card swipes for gym entry are the most efficient for gyms at the size of Mike's. It's a big box gym why do I have to give the receptionist my name. Some members have a number code but I never got that. Check in is slow and some days I and others don't want to talk to people. I would take anything over verbal check in. And you could cut down on staff because it really seems like they don't do much. Let's move onto gym rules. Gyms have written etiquette as well now this is just a dumb rule that boggles the mind but a lot of serious people go to Mike's many of them drink things like pre-workout and post. Why am I only allowed to bring water in. I shouldn't have to smuggle in pre-workout like I'm Tony Montana so no employee will have to walk over to me and tell me not to drink that. Why is this rule in place? people still drink things that aren't water all the time. It can't be due too spills. I've never seen anything spilt there. Most of the gym is hard flooring. If someone does make an obscene mess why wouldn't they just be charged anyway. The reason you'd go to Mike's is convenience and it's pool. The gym is too small for the amount of people that go there they are expanding but I highly doubt that'll change anything. If you want a good gym with a pool go to All sport. It's right down 55. If you want a big gym go to gold's. If you want to be left alone and/or feel welcome go to Planet fitness or a family run gym. If you just walk on a treadmill go to planet fitness. If you want classes go to gold's. Mike doesn't offer anything unique it is a messy poorly run gym full of charmingly annoying people. Save your money for a gym that'll help you I can tell you right now Mike Arteaga's is not that gym.

Positive experience: The gym is ok. It they are missing some key elements for someone being serious about fitness. Trying to locate a scale I was informed that they do not have a scale while it isnt a huge deal this is the only gym I have ever been to without a scale. Some of the freeweights are pretty beat up but they work fine. The equipment is pretty dated for some of the machines. The classes are decent as well. Over all I'd say the gym is ok but could use some minor improvements.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, the inside is kept very clean and sanitary. Enough machines for every body part, and many cardio machines. No complaints, great setup. One recommendation would be for an hour later closing times on weekdays.
