I tried SPORTIME at ProHEALTH in Lake Success (www.SportimeNY.com/ProHEALTH) under a free one month pass I received in the mail in one of those coupon mailer packages. The club is a little hard to find as its located in a huge medical complex between New Hyde Park Rd and Marcus Avenue (the official address is 3 Delaware Drive). Because of the club's partnership with ProHEALTH it is somewhat geared toward people recovering from injuries, surgeries or who have been told by their doctors that they need to start exercising for their health. As such, it is definately a great place for people just starting out on an exercise regimen. The club is new and very clean.
Group exercise: There are three studios - one for spin, yoga, and group fitness. There were 44 classes available each week, 2-4 each morning and 3-5 M-F night. Interesting classes include Sharqui Belly Dancing, Zumba, and Kick-n-Punch (kickboxing).
Amenities: The club offers full towel service, lots of lotions and potions, hair dryers, a steam room and a sauna, and a flat screen TV in the locker room. There is also a full spa available as wellas a nursery that cares for children from 3 months old and up.
Cool feature: most of the machines on the floor are connected to a FitLinxx system, a cumputerized fitness and tracking system. Each member/trial is given two Personal Training orientations which are geared to utilizing the FitLinxx system. The system not only stores your exercise regimen, including each machine utilized and number of reps, but it measures the appropriate range of motion for each exercise. If you don't complete the full range of motion, the rep is not counted.
The price: The initiation fee for an individual is $255 (the highest I have ever seen), which is often discounted to $149 or $0 (a full-price family initiation fee is $295). Full-price monthly dues are $109/individual, $206/couple, or $260 family and include reciprocity with other SPORTIME facilities, unlimited racquetball, full and half-court basketball (both at other facilities). At the time of my trial, they were offering a reduced monthly fee of $99 for an individual membership.
