Lucille Roberts- Forest Hills

Fantastic experience: I love this gym!! I take the train and it's really convenient for me to get there. I just recently switched gyms and I really love all of the new equipment and classes! The classroom is really big and the instructors really now how to motivate. The equipment is all super high tech, so I can always make sure I get a great workout in. The staff is really helpful and friendly- I always feel like I can ask them when I have a question. The girl who signed me up, Marie, was so sweet and energetic. She made me really excited to be there and made me feel welcome. If you're new to working out, you can have someone teach how to use all of the equipment. They have orientation to introduce you to the machines, so you don't feel silly trying to figure it out. The instructors also show you how to do all of the exercises at different levels. One of my favorite things about Lucille Roberts is that it's all women. It's a really comfortable environment. I don't think I would ever go back to a co-ed gym.

Fantastic experience: The employees there are pretty preppy and give me no problems what so ever. Everyone who walks in are friendly and kind to me and eachother. I got a bit hurt on one of the machines and other members came to see if I was fine. It's nice to find a gym where people can come in and not only workout but also coexist and have a nice little chat once in awhile! No one puts you down but instead helps bring you higher even if their a complete stranger. Thats amazing. The employees are just fabulous and always sporting a big smile on their face and helping those who need it most! This gym is great and I can't wait to go back again.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Lucille Roberts, Forest Hills for almost two years. I have decided to write this post, as I just finished reading a lot of negative things about the gym. Is true the gym gets very crowded at times, is true sometimes the body odors are a bit too much, is true the classes fill up fast especially with Malik and Tyler, as for the staff I must say I have never had any problem with them. Elaine, the manager, has always been nice to me and trust me when I tell you, I am not one to put up with any crap. Actually, I had surgery last year, and was able to freeze my membership for three weeks without a problem. In all honesty, for the price you pay you cannot ask for more. The other thing I want to say, is their trainers are the best, they are professional and will work you out until you feel you are going to drop. So that being said I will keep an eye on what you all are saying and maybe i'm missing something, but I am very observant and don't see what all the commotion is about?? Maybe you ladies should join an expensive gym that gives you all those perks you want, just saying!! Carmen Cintron a happy member

Fantastic experience: I like this gym because it easy to get to and use. It's a block away from the E, M or F train, and their class times are very convenient. I sometimes take the 7 am classes before work or the 8:30/9 pm classes after work. They are also REALLY friendly. When I first signed up I thought they were just being nice to get me to sign up, but anytime I come in everyone greets me and actually remember my name. As of equipment they have the best cardio machines i've seen in this area, and they have a decent amt of barbells, kettle bells and TRX ropes. Honestly, amazing quality and awesome price.

Fantastic experience: I usually don't write reviews but I noticed while googling the gyms phone number that ALL of these bad reviews are super old & outdated! It's not fair that they still have this on their record since soooo much has changed, especially recently. I re-signed up about month or two ago and It is a totally different place. The people that work here are fun and motivating (which you wouldn't think makes a big difference but it REALLY does), there is a bunch of new equipment, tons of classes to take and it's really just such a positive environment. What sparked my curiosity the first time was that it's all women... The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and you can tell that the instructors teach because the genuinely love what they do. Train dirty fitness and Jillian Michaels body shred are my favorite classes, every now and then I'll take a Zumba class for fun and the cherry on top of the sundae is that they have a sauna downstairs to sweat it out after my workout. The days I have to drive are annoying because of parking but I'd be nitpicking to complain about that when I'm getting so much from a gym at such an affordable price. It is always clean, the classes are always good, and sometimes they even give out free stuff. Love my gym!

Fantastic experience: I love it here, there is nothing better than being able to workout without a creepy guy bothering me. Not only is it a comfortable environment for women, but this gym has some of the best instructors including a few trained by Jillian Michaels. Most of the equipment is downstairs, upstairs for cardio and classes. Oh and this is the only gym I've found with classes all day long, super convenient for a quick lunch-break-workout.

Fantastic experience: Great classes lots of equipment room. Plenty of space for every woman

Fantastic experience: I would like to recommend a trainer like no other. Sadia is an amazing personal trainer. She has helped me a lot with losing the weight I had gained over the years. She is dedicated to help her clients reach their goals. She knows what works and she will make you work hard to achieve your goals. I highly recommend Sadia because she is a very dedicated and hard working personal trainer that will try her best to help get to where you want to be. She is truly a wonderful and amazing trainer. Thank you Sadia for all you have done for me. I have learned to enjoy working out and I love my new look!

Fantastic experience: Big fan of my local Lucille Roberts in Forest Hills! It’s nothing fancy in terms of the basement weight room (on par with a college gym, I’d say), but it has everything you need and there’s enough space to not feel crowded. Basic showers and daily-use lockers. The selling point are the free (no sign-up) morning & evening classes! Great vibes with women of all ages and good instructors, from Zumba and Kickboxing to “Chisel” and “Butt & Gutt.” Ask the kind front desk staff for a tour if you’re interested!

Positive experience: Price is good. Be careful when you close your membership with them. Save that cancellation receipt, it will help you.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym!!! I’ve been going to a few Lucille Roberts for many years. The monthly fees are VERY low & there IS a yearly maintenance fee as well, but it’s relatively cheap in comparison to a lot of other gyms. Management is very sweet & attentive & they will work with you if you want to freeze, hold or cancel your membership. They were very understanding throughout the pandemic.. Sadly, after it opened back up, I had to cancel my membership because, vaccination mandates, and it was very easy to shut off my membership. Needless to say, when the mandates were lifted I RAN back to my gym and they offered me a discount for being a “returning member”!! The gym itself is very well-kept.. Of course there are instances where there is a disrespectful person who makes a mess of the bathroom, but the cleaning ladies get to it right away & it doesn’t stay dirty for long at all. There’s a nice sauna, there are PLENTY of weights & machines, there are so many workout classes, motivating music, friendly people, Purell wipes to wipe down the machines after each use, etc.. you won’t find all these wonderful amenities at any other gym for a lower price than you’ll be paying here monthly, PLUS it’s women ONLY!! I’m very much in love with this gym and can see myself coming here for a very long time :)

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym for the past 6 months and it’s exceeded my expectations. The staff is really friendly, especially Sadia, who has been an excellent trainer and helped me see great results

Fantastic experience: The gym is clean. Never have to wait for equipment or weights to free up. Staff is nice. My trainer Sadia is really good. Sadia asked me what my goals were when we started; and I am already seeing results. She keeps notes on what works for me, what weights I use, and my progress; which makes it clear that she really cares about my fitness goals and specific needs.

Fantastic experience: I honestly really like this gym. It’s clean, staff are friendly, the classes they offer are really fun, and personally I like the layout of the gym. They always have extra room in classes so if you don’t reserve you can walk in. They offer a sauna as well which I thought was really cool. The personal trainings that they offer are great as well. Me and my sister signed up with Sadia and she’s really nice! If there isn’t something that we can do or something we struggle with she doesn’t discourage or make us feel inferior, she encourages us and helps us practice during each session until we make progress. She’s also been helping us by giving information ok what types of food we should eat or try to cut back on to help us reach our goal. I can’t wait to see the results

Fantastic experience: I recently returned to Lucille Roberts after having been a member more than 25 years ago and I'm very impressed with every aspect of this gym. One of the highlights is my work with Sadia, my trainer. She is knowledgeable, encouraging and professional. She listened to my goals and concerns as an older woman interested in building strength and muscle mass and designed a great program for me that she constantly updates according to my needs. I am astounded at how much progress I have made with her support in just seven weeks! Thank you Sadia! I must also also point out that it is wonderful to see that the gym has a hard working cleaning staff that is CONSTANTLY circulating, making sure that the gym is always clean and fresh. Similarly, the classes offered are FUN and the instructors are dynamic. I highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: I signed up for Lucille Roberts when I moved to Forest Hills a few months ago. They give you a free session with a trainer, so I did it just for the hell of it. I worked with Sadia, and it ended up being way more valuable that I thought! She also had her own fitness journey that she’d achieved and is genuinely passionate in helping others achieve their’s. I got more out of it than I thought, give it a try!

Fantastic experience: I love this; it's an all woman gym. Super clean ,equipment are clean and sanitized when women are finished using it. The ladies at the desk are professional and friendly with smiles so pleasant. This isn't just a women gym it's a my second home to de-stress .

Fantastic experience: I joined to Lucille about 4 months ago. The gym is great. They have a good variety of equipment. The staff are friendly and other gym goers are respectful. I go around 10am-2pm and it’s never too crowded. I took up their offer for a free session with a trainer and worked with Sadia. She’s really knowledgeable and passionate about health and fitness. After my first session with her, I realized how much I could benefit from a personal trainer. She’s been pushing me towards my fitness goals. I’ve noticed such an improvement in my strength and form. I’ve grown more confident in myself since and I’m extremely grateful for Sadia’s guidance.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I love everything about this gym! From the variety of machines designed for women, clean environment, group classes to my personal trainer. Sadia has been great educating me on the proper form while showing me different exercises for the whole body. Very helpful, flexible and professional! Look forward to my upcoming session :)

Fantastic experience: Sister and I started going to the gym a couple of months ago, after years! We decided to work with their trainer, Sadia, after the new comer consultation. Working with her has been a huge help with creating a routine for ourselves. Sadia is always motivating and even text us workouts on days we aren’t training with her. Having her guide us allowed us to get comfortable being at the gym and not feel overwhelmed working out on our own.

Fantastic experience: This gym is clean and the staff is friendly. I haven't taken any classes yet, but it's not too busy in the mornings so there are plenty of weights and machines available for you to use on your own. Plus there's a sauna. If you're looking for a personal trainer, my experience with Sadia has been great. She's good at pushing and keeping you accountable.

Fantastic experience: Fun classes and helpful staff. Currently working with a trainer that is awesome!

Fantastic experience: I recently moved and was in need of a new gym. I decided Lucille Roberts would be the best option. The price is affordable and it’s an easy location to get to by subway and car. Although there is no garage, I’m always able to find street/meter parking after work. The staff is very friendly and helpful, gym is clean and it doesn’t feel crowded at the gym. I took some sessions with the personal trainer Sadia and I’m already feeling stronger and seeing results! She is very helpful. I like the atmosphere and feel very comfortable, glad I found a replacement gym.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality My mom is older/senior and loves to take classes at Lucille Robert’s. I’m amazed at the staff, so willing to be helpful. Just wanted to say thank you to the staff and acknowledge their great work n patience :)))

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a tour today and the place seems very Covid friendly- very clean place, everyone wears masks, the machines are properly spaced out, hand sanitizing stations, and the front desk worker seems very friendly. I got my first month waived as per their new years discount. Excited to be losing new quarantine weight.

Fantastic experience: Gym is nice, staff is friendly, very clean. People are wearing masks. I’ve seen some people get mad over having to pay $10 to cancel and stay 45 days more before it sets in but the sales people explain that to you when you join so just an FYI

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Lucille's on and off (due to moving out of state) for 8+years now! There is new equipment and the group classes, etc. are great. I go about 5 times a week and can honestly say it is one of the better gyms in queens. Love the variety of classes and instructors, they really push you to your limit! If you are looking for a full body workout, that will have you covered in sweat by the end of the class, taking one of Ovidio and Evelyn's classes is a must! They are great at providing modifications when necessary, and walk around during the class fixing your form. Front desk has also been helpful and attentive. Definitely recommend! #HereforLR

Fantastic experience: Great classes, great equipment, great trainers. If you're looking to get yourself into shape, I'd highly recommend trainer Roy Jimenez. He's very personable, understanding but also tough. I honestly never thought I could do some of the strength training workouts he's given me, but our training has built me up to success. I haven't done the same workout twice - he really knows how to vary the training and keep me on my toes which keeps it interesting to learn more that I even do on my own time. Thanks Roy!

Fantastic experience: I give a 5 star because of my long term trainer Richie. I have been with this guy for 4 plus years and the only reason I come back to Lucille is to train with him. Constantly coming up with new workouts routines to push my body and push my limits. An incredible human being.

Fantastic experience: I always feel comfortable working out at this gym. The staff is really friendly, the facilities are always clean, and there are plenty of machines to use. They also offer a variety of classes; Zumba is my personal favorite! It’s in a super convenient location. I love working out at LR Forest Hills #HereForLR

Fantastic experience: Lucille Roberts in Forest Hills is a great place to work out at. I have a personal trainer at Lucille Roberts named Barbara. I have been working with her for over 6 months. She is a great trainer. She really knows her stuff and works hard with me. She is a great asset to the gym!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training off & on with various trainers for the past 15 years. Richie Rosas is by far the best! I’m 71 & he has helped me be the best I can be. Not only am I stronger, my balance & posture have greatly improved. Whether it’s boxing or strength training you desire, he’s your man. And he makes it fun!! Thanks Richie‍♀️

Fantastic experience: I love Michelle who teaches the Zumba class. It is not easy for me to early on the weekend but I get up for the 9:15am class on Sunday with her. She such a nice spirit, high energy for a Sunday morning and nice dance routines. I have been going to this class for years and will continue.

Fantastic experience: Tricia Puleo is the reason I go to Lucille Robert Forest Hills every Thursday! She rock!!! She is amazing!!! Her Zumba class is very exciting and she always try to change the movements to make it fun to everyone. I love her energy, very graceful!!! I wish they would add another class because I love dancing with her. Awesome instructor, love her❤️ I will be her follower for a very, very long time!!!

Fantastic experience: Roy's small group boot camp training is the absolute best if you really want a workout. He pushes you past your limits and really incorporates strength and cardio training! Thirty minutes of intensity, would very much recommend!

Fantastic experience: If you're in need of a personal trainer, Richie Rosas is the BEST! He keeps each session exciting, always varying the exercises and, even spices things up from time to time with a little boxing. He pushes you just enough and is an expert and showing the proper technique; plus, he's a really nice guy. He keeps me committed to this club for sure!

Fantastic experience: Nice, clean and friendly place. Love working out with my awesome trainer Roy, who makes the training such an amazing experience! Caters the training to our needs, flexible with the training schedule and always available !! Definitely recommended!

Fantastic experience: If you girls want to have that hot bod....this is the place to go and train with the one and only Richie Rosas!! I have been training one on one with him from boxing to strength training. It’s been great and I feel wonderful. I never thought I would like boxing but it has been the best calorie burner. He makes the workouts so much fun too. He plays his Rocky music and gets you pumping. My body has been magically transformed because of Richie and I will ever be so grateful. Ladies...Give him a try, I promise you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Ever since I signed up for Lucille Roberts I have been trying every type of class, trying to find a instructor that’s fit for the goal I’m trying to achieve. The best instructors that I found suitable for me are Evelyn Matos and Darryl Freeman. These two instructors challenge your body, give amazing results, and tone your body.

Fantastic experience: Started my membership about 4 months ago and I love this gym! I usually go earlier in the day to avoid crowded times but they have great cardio and training machines. Staff is also very friendly and helpful. So far so good!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. I've been going here for about 3 months now and it's always clean, the classes are great, especially Thursday night kickboxing - can't miss that! I usually go in the evenings and the front desk staff are always so friendly and helpful! I'm always comfortable and I always feel welcomed! Great Gym, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The environment of this gym, as well as the kind, helpful workers always make me feel comfortable and motivated to whip myself up into shape! They've also been making some great improvements and constantly update machinery, which is great!

Fantastic experience: I haven't been at Lucille Roberts at Forest Hills because I now have a new job. Until my training is done n my new location I will start coming in because I need my workout n tone my body up. I notice the new machines installed n the changes on paint, plumbing, n carpet they all look new, clean, n beautiful. Thanks for the improvements! I love it!

Fantastic experience: LEO HAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE ZUMBA CLASS!! He is the kindest most enthusiastic instructor I have ever had. He teaches Zumba here on Monday's at 5:30! The gym has so much equipment and wonderful staff that makes the gym experience so inclusive and friendly.

Fantastic experience: I'm new to the city and I was trying to find a great gym to go to. I stumbled across this wonderful place and I must admit, I'm so glad I did!! My experience here was amazing! The atmosphere was clean, neat, and very welcoming! A young lady by the name of Laura was so sweet and helpful to me as well! I definitely can not wait to recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: I'm very happy with Lucille Roberts. They provide a wide variety of machines to use and weights to lift. The energy at the gym is always positive and uplifting. It's had and will continue to be a great experience at Lucille Roberts Forest Hills!

Fantastic experience: Ive been a member at this location for over 10 years. For the most part, you get what you put in regarding the workout. Lucille's is most popular for their classes. Their equipment isnt your most up to date and there isnt a big selection of machines. I love that it's mostly women and I am satisfied with the club

Fantastic experience: Good gym, have been coming here for over a year now. But who makes it great is Maurio - he is just amazing - super enthusiastic, encouraging and inspiring instrustor - what else can you wish for when you come to a class? He is by far the best instructor I've ever had. His classes are fun, exciting and sexy, so be sure to have a great time, forget your hard day at work, and yeah, sweat, sweat and sweat!!!

Fantastic experience: First off, this gym is awesome. Brand new equipment and they rearranged things so that there is more room to do individualized workouts. The staff is friendly, the facility is clean and there is a sauna. I also dig the community of women that attend...women of all kinds and shapes. For the price, you really can't lose. My FAVORITE thing about going to LR are the classes. One class in particular is held on Mondays @ 6:30 (HIFT) with Carmen Martinez. I make sure to leave work on time just to get to this class. Tonight was my second time attending her class and I'm already looking forward to next Monday. She really busts your butt with a great mix of step aerobics and weight lifting with free weights and a medicine ball. Her music keeps you moving and she always has a smile on her face. She's encouraging and really knows what she's doing up there. It's one of those classes you can feel proud of after you've made it to the end! I wish she had more classes during the week because I know that I'm guaranteed to have a great full-body workout.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym. It has such a good atmosphere and it's nice and spacious. Weekday mornings is definitely the best time to workout because it's empty.

Fantastic experience: This gym is great. The equipment is kept in great condition, and everyone does their part to clean up after themselves. The staff is very friendly and the classes are so much fun! It's a very judgement free zone where you're encouraged to try your best by people you don't know but come to love. If you're looking for a place with good vibes and a great community this is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: I was hesitant to go to a gym, but I completely love the atmosphere Lucille Roberts gave! It didn't make me feel embarrassed to be there and work out with other people as it did in other gymnasiums. I am comfortable and excited to go everyday!
