Brooklyn Lifestyle Athletic Club

Loved that it was black own and managed. Decided to gym there off the strength of that. I noticed that their equipment was dated but I still went. The straw that broke the camels back was I would use equipment and use things from the other side of the gym and come back the next day and they would be unmoved which showed that they didn’t clean well enough for me. It’s a public gym there is no way that should happen.

Do not waste your money on the outdoor pool here! I decided to take the kids here because we haven’t been to this pool in a few years. They were very expensive so I was baffled to see the conditions of the pools. Only one pool was open and the water was cloudy and green. You couldn’t step foot in water without tissue, hair, or something else touching you. It was the worse experience I’ve ever had. I left and requested a refund because I was completely dissatisfied. I waited a half hour for someone to speak to another person to approve a refund. The front desk clerks were super supportive and apologetic however they weren’t able to get me my refund and asked me to call them back for a refund. I’ve never in all my years heard of an establishment such as this not being able to provide a refund of the same system they used to take money for the service. I would never return or recommend the outdoor pool.

Very unprofessional. I've been calling and emailing for weeks to sign my kids up for camp and not one response. I drive down there abs there was a hand written note taped to the gate that they are temporarily closed. No info. Websites and phones do not indicate a closure. I'll pay for camp elsewhere

Do not believe any of the positive reviews. The staff from BKLA are writing the company’s reviews. The staff at BKLA are uncompromising and the swimming instructors barely teach the children how to swim. They provide little effort in teaching the children how to swim so that the parents can pay for another session. I wouldn’t recommend this program to anyone. It’s a shame what BKLA is doing to their customers and community!

Never going back. I went to the outdoor pools back in 2022. Lovely totally enjoyed myself the outdoors looked a little ran down but i gave grace the pools were crystal blue and I had hope that the facility would only get better with time. Fast forward to summer 2024 took my mom and my nephew to enjoy the beautiful pools that I remember paid the $65 fee to use the pools /outdoor area- $25 for adults and $15 for children. What I saw today was so disappointing 😞 and disrespectful!. The once pristine and blue pools were now green and merky could not see the bottom of it and the outdoor area was totally unkempt and ran down! It was in an even worse condition than what i saw back in 2022 . I was mortified I should have just taken my family to one of the many free nyc pools. Total waste of my $65 ! We asked to see a manager about the pool and it was the most hullabaloo excuse that I've ever heard as to why the pool was so green and merky. I was left with even more questions than answers. Their pools need servicing by a professional cleaning company. Absolutely sickening! The outdoor area is absolutely deplorable for something that your paying hard earned money for This is not it. And no life vests !!!!!!! It's in need of a major reconstruction and face lift. Bkla please do better and update your facility. Black owned should mean excellence of the highest quality especially in a predominantly black middle class neighborhood. Respect your customers money !
