A new member to the rock but have worked out at many different gym in Astoria, the rock has modern equipment and very clean, so far all the staff and members have been very friendly

Amazing facility, super clean, friendly staff, and let’s not even get started on the state of the art equipment. First time going in i was shocked. Never seen a gym this clean and well maintained, extra staff on the floor cleaning up and re racking plates, well maintained restrooms unlike other franchise gyms. It sucks that I can’t workout with my crocks, but rules are rules. Good music always playing throughout the gym. Cardio machines that make you feel like your in a 5 star resort. I just wish they have a pool, but I’m guessing due to space issues we won’t see one. The price may seem a little high, but definitely worth it. Cheap gyms aren’t good and good gyms aren’t cheap.

Rock Fitness is one of the best gyms I’ve every joined. Great facilities, friendly staff and a good price!

Cleanest gym in Queens. The cleaning staff keeps it spotless. The equipment looks new, and they have good options at their smoothie/food bar.

I’d been at Equinox for 4/5 years and started to realize it wasn’t worth it. Rick has everything you need, 5/6 racks, multiple free weight areas and some great plated machines, that other gyms don’t. Also a great price and team!

Just joined The Rock and I have to say that it might be the best gym I've ever been to. Staff is great and the equipment is state of the art. Highly recommend!

Great gym, nice layout with an awesome selection of weights, equipment and machines. Very clean inside, great cafe, and fun fitness classes.

Moved to the area and joined this gym. Up-to-date equipment and very convenient to get to. Sign up process was quick and simple

I originally gave Rock Fitness a five star review, but lately going to this gym has become intolerable. Far too few benches, especially when so many people just sit there and text. Very frustrating waiting for a bench and seeing people text without a sweat. Plenty of areas could have benches added. It's too expensive for this.

Absolutely loving this gym? “You get what you pay for” is real. This gym is indeed more princely than other ones but they have many amazing classes and everyone is so nice? Love their community. Boxing and kettle bell classes are fun and any beginner like myself can join as well️‍
17 March 2023 16:35
Everything is good at Rock fitness. However, we are not allowed to bring guests even once a month. This is should be ok as most of other gyms allow to bring guests without paying. I hope Rock will change the policy.
15 March 2023 18:15
Nice facilities and staff. It's clean and they've got all the equipment you need for your workout. There are also plenty of pre and post-workout options between drinks and snacks.
09 March 2023 12:42
I wanted to sign up, I love working out and dancing, plus I live in Astoria. When I entered the gym to sign up, I was asked to have my ID and my credit card photocopied! The ID copy is for the purpose of accident that the employees would know my age and where I live. I think it is an invasion of privacy. I was a member of different gyms in Astoria and I only had to show my ID, information would be entered in the system but my ID would not be copied. The address on my ID is different from where I live anyway, so why is there a need to photocopy it?

Fantastic gym, great equipment, and friendly staff. You’re greeted as soon as you scan in and thanked as you leave.

Had to take one star off because of volume levels of the music playing at the gym. Easily 8/10 people have their own headphones on listening to their own music— myself included, but it gets drowned out with the excessive volume the music is playing at.

Best gym in Astoria Queens. Very sanitary and friendly environment with great equipment. Can’t wait for the sauna to be installed soon.
07 February 2023 2:04
Clean and convenient gym in Astoria.
Peter signed me up quickly and easily
Cubby holes to store your jacket, hat, etc near front door make it easy to come and go without having to use a locker.
01 February 2023 18:44
The Rock is a fantastic gym. Really love the variety of equipment downstairs as I do a lot of functional circuits/combinations. The turf is great too!
31 January 2023 10:53
Love this gym, love the atmosphere, great space, helpful friendly staff, all the equipment you need for a thorough workout, super clean, nice juice bar and good hours
18 June 2022 18:00
Since joining last January, my experience at the Rock has been great. The gym is large and clean and has a laid back “no pressure “ vibe making it a comfortable place for people of all levels to workout. They also offer classes like Hiit and Boxing for those seeking a different type of workout. And in addition, their staff is awesome, always friendly and helpful to me. I highly recommend.
28 May 2022 3:05
The Rock has been a true game changer for me and my new fitness routine. After joining multiple gyms in Astoria over the years, I can say that the Rock has been the best by far. The staff are friendly, the space is always clean, and the machines are top notch. Proud to be a member of the Rock, well worth the membership fee.
23 May 2022 3:32
Love this gym! Very good and respectful staff members, Samantha was extremely helpful when I wanted to learn more about the gym and it’s opportunities!
17 May 2022 1:49
Best gym in Astoria hands down. I’ve been a member for years even before they switched locations and it only got better. One thing that remained was the extremely helpful and welcoming staff. New equipment, clean gym, and wonderful environment. Would highly recommend signing up here if you’re looking for a 5 star gym all around.
16 May 2022 18:01
So glad I signed up at Rock Fitness. From the trainers to the weekend Manager - Alex K - everyone is so helpful no matter your fitness level. They have lots of varied equipment to work out on. I look forward to my training sessions. To top it off, this gym is very clean, well kept and conveniently located.
15 May 2022 8:23
Great gym, best in Astoria! Very attentive staff, great personal trainers and very clean! 10/10
14 May 2022 18:32
I’ve been a member since 2014 when they were located across the street. There’s no other gym in Astoria that comes close. Gyms are either clean or dirty, the rock is spotless. Especially with COVID they do such a good job at making sure that the facility is always in top notch shape. They just opened the rock bar which I would highly recommend trying. Staff is always a pleasure to deal with especially Dora and Pete. 10/10 would recommend.
14 May 2022 5:40
This is an amazing gym! Such great atmosphere and staff. Sam - the weekend manager is the best very attentive and knowledgeable about everything. Throughout the pandemic they kept everything clean and followed every guideline to make me feel safe to come. You won’t regret coming here!
07 May 2022 2:47
This gym is well worth the 5 stars! I’ve signed up to every gym in Astoria, in the past, and I’m happy to finally have found the right fit for me. I’ve been coming here for a little over a year and have never had a bad experience. The employees are professional, friendly, willing to help and make you feel welcome. There are a variety of machines and a lot of space to work with. It is super clean and they are consistently looking for ways to expand and make the gym better! The DJ on Mondays/Wednesdays and the Rock Juice/Coffee Bar are great new additions! Sign up, it won’t disappoint!:)
28 April 2022 5:56
Big fan of this place everything is nice and clean and sanitized. Alex was the one who helped me through the sign up process and explaining the process for payment. Really helpful and kind!
27 April 2022 22:38
Beautiful, spacious gym with a great staff! The equipment and machines are new and modern. Best gym in Astoria!
23 April 2022 8:04
Nice facility with new equipment. Employees are courteous, really make’s this place a joy to pick things up to put them down.
21 April 2022 11:29
Exercising regularly, and every day is very important to me.
I've been to different gyms in the past but Rock Fitness is definitely my favorite by far. The new location is fire. The staff are professional, and friendly. The equipment is amazing. The space is clean, and I feel safe working out during this pandemic.
Thank you guys you are awesome!
18 April 2022 7:36
Even after a long day at work I look forward to the workout I'm about to have and a lot of that is down to this gym. It's the cleanest facility I've been in. Its a gym pushing the boundaries of the experience. Since I've been a member for about a couple months they've added a café/bakery for great drinks and snacks, multiple new classes and trainers, new updated machines, and seminars. While that is all nice a lot of the positive experience I have is down to the people that are both running the place and the community of members within. But a lot of that is down to the staff themselves I feel like most of the employees know my name without having to check the sign in page and that's all the way from management down to the once again exceptional cleaning staff. Every member of that team makes it that much better and helps make my day.
17 April 2022 20:42
Recently transferred over here from a different local gym and am so happy I did. Not only is the gym brand new, clean, and equipped with the best machines, but unlike other local gyms, the staff at Rock fitness kindly greet you and assist you throughout your workout. On a few different occasions, both Rock trainer, Allison, and Rock manager, Pete, have offered me help learning to use some of the gym’s unique equipment. They’re both very attentive to members and encourage you to try new technique and classes. To boot, the gym plays awesome music and even has a live DJ a couple times a week. Who needs the club when you have fun activity, a DJ, and a stocked coffee/smoothie bar? ! Best decision I ever made. Major thank you to Rock Fitness and all it’s staff for making me feel so welcome!
13 April 2022 12:54
Doesn’t get better than this gym! Machines and facilities are top quality, up to date, and always clean! Great employees and great place to work out!
01 April 2022 1:53
I absolutely love this gym! All new equipment, very spacious and clean, lots of classes and super friendly staff. They also have a coffee bar where they sell not only coffees, but also smoothies and lots of healthy snack options! I swear they have everything. Thank you so much for all you do for us! I can’t even imagine going to a different gym. If you thinking of joining you won’t be disappointed!
31 March 2022 9:26
Terrible customer service. No masks or covid Protocols, had to jump through hoops to get a tour because they needed to hold my ID hostage while giving me a tour
22 March 2022 19:03
I've trained in many clubs. ''the rock'' is by far the greatest club i ever trained in.the atmosphere, the staff, the vibe is fantastic! I can honestly say, i love the rock
21 March 2022 11:31
Rock fitness is the best gym I've been to in a long time, the new location is perfect.the machines are well maintained, the equipment is clean the staff is amazing.the arsenal strength equipment is awesome & plenty of squat racks.
15 March 2022 3:02
Has potential to be astoria's version of equinox. I hope they get to extend their hours for late night workouts. If they had kheils that would be clutch.
10 March 2022 17:12
Hands down the best gym in Astoria. It's immaculately clean, offers plenty of space to work out in any style you prefer and love the wireless chargers on treadmills.
03 March 2022 19:33
The facility is actually state of the art. Lighting, colors, interior design, machines, TVs, the details, is it very well executed. When you sign up, cancellation policy and pricing is clearly written. Front desk is friendly at walking in, and the culture of the people that gore there is respectful, fitness driven, and a sense of community. So far, exceptional experience.
09 February 2022 3:07
Music blasting as if in a nightclub, completely ruins gym experience. Charged me $260 to cancel the membership
05 February 2022 10:56
Rock is a great gym in northern Astoria, super close to Ditmars and Astoria BLVD. It’s facilities are large, open, and well lit. The staff welcomes you with a smile and knows you by name. There’s also a great vibe and mutual respect between all members! I definitely recommend.
31 January 2022 12:38
I really like this gym, I feel like everyone is respectful and just doing their thing and the overall cleanliness of the gym is exceptional and the staff is really nice (especially the girls at the cafe). I wish that there could be more perks and amenities for members though, I was paying way less at my former gym and they had saunas which really helped with my post workout recovery and even stress levels. I wish we could utilize one or more of the following; saunas, massages, tanning, member discount at the cafes, etc. I feel like a lot of people would be way more satisfied as members this way. I really also wish there was more diversity in the environment. The staff and instagram page lacks diversity and only consist of fairer skinned color people with the exception of one of the boxing coaches, I don't really want to nit pick but it's kind of hard to feel inclusive when things like this are noticeable, just food for thought.
21 January 2022 16:46
DO NOT SIGN UP! They will never let you cancel!

The gym itself has good equipment but get very crowded most of the time. However, the way the staff treats you after you decide to cancel is very unprofessional. Cancelling the membership is almost impossible, I submitted the cancellation request via email and they confirmed they would cancel it. They never cancelled but had my membership open without my knowledge. Now, they sent me a bill of couple hundred dollars for a membership I thought had been cancelled based on their email confirmation, they also charged late fees without my knowledge. I tried to get in touch with the manager (Dora) and asked for records of my membership and Dora said they could not email me those but I have to go in person to obtain them. When I went in person, they told me the manager doesn't work on Saturdays so I should go there 9-5pm Mon-Fri (I have a job which I cannot leave during office hours). They never reached out to clarify the charges and now they have a debt collections agency reaching out to me to pay the dues? I have never seen a business be so unprofessional, not communicating with customers. Cancelling a gym membership should be as easy as 1,2,3 and emailing records is the norm in every industry. Think twice before signing a contract with them because they will make it impossible for you to cancel your membership and will send you debt collection agencies for dues that you are not responsible to pay.

I have been a member at the Rock for a few months now, and my time there has been incredible. Before Covid, I never went to the gym, and I had no idea what I was doing. Now I see Frank once a week and he has been an outstanding mentor to me. He is flexible with my schedule, always giving me a positive attitude, never pressures me like the stereotypical gym trainer. I feel safe with him and now I’m referring my friends and family to him! Frank is my trainer but everyone one else, like Audi, are great. You can’t go wrong with whoever you find.

Dora, TJ, Jeff, and all the other front staff members are friendly faces who welcome me as i walk in and wish me well once I leave.

The Rock has so many devices, not just gym equipment. I was able to get my weight taken and learn my body fat %. Now my brother and I have competition on who can get a lower % and it has been a healthy competition that pushes us to our best selves. However this beautiful new bakery might ruin that lol i guess it’s time to bulk

Thank you Rock, you’re not just my gym but my 2nd home
17 January 2022 19:47
Clean Gym. Professional Personal Trainers. Week days is open from 5: 00am and customers can do their workout before they go to work. Juice and Coffee bar is on the way in the gym. Equipment is brand new. 2 Spacious floors. Price? What you pay is what you get ️
12 January 2022 22:51
The equipment, environment and staff especially TJ and manager are fantastic! Notably - I’ve been going for years and they’ve never opened late!
11 January 2022 23:47
Place is amazing. What a way to start the day by getting a good work out in. First of all, when you walk in you are greeted by TJ and Dora. Always professional, courteous, and smiling. The gym is state of the art with two floors of amazing and updated weights and machines. Great vibe and always pumping good tunes to get you in the right mind set. Strongly recommend this place.
11 January 2022 1:26
Best gym in Astoria! New location is spacious, always clean and great new equipment. Members are friendly and the staff is great, especially in the morning!
07 January 2022 23:44
My mom was treated in a very disrespectful way and she didn´t know how to defend herself BECAUSE SHE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH. (VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY ARE ARROGANT)
I wouldn´t recommend this gym. I complained about it on the phone and i was very upset, his answer was " I think we have a very good service". Then i go in person to tell them i didn't want to be in this gym anymore because i did not feel good there and i recieve the following comments:
" I don´t know why you feel that way"
"I think we have a good service"
"Thats not how it happened so i don´t know why are you telling that"
When i ask to talk to someone else he answered " I don´t think the other person will treat you as smooth as im treating you"
"I called to my superior and she said that´s not how things happened"
"If you don´t pay a colector will "
Basically they treat me as a liar and the worst is i felt so sad i cried in front of him and i dont know if he was like laugthing because he was nervous or he was laughting at me.
07 January 2022 11:26
Place didn't let me cancel and sent me to collections even though I emailed and called and went in person trying to cancel. There was no miscommunication, I canceled the gym membership after my term was over but they kept saying I have to cancel it a certain way so they re enrolled me for another year without my permission then sent me to collections for the months I wasn't even going to the gym for. Place is a scam
06 January 2022 0:33
Tried cancelling my membership today. And as all reviews mentioned, the rock fitness makes it extremely difficult, better words are that they give you an extremely hard time.

I signed a month to month contract to avoid getting into a yearly contract and any clauses that come with that. The guy at the counter brought up a 60 day clause that obviously wasn’t told to me or I may have missed. What’s the point of signing up month to month if you still want people to keep paying you, and you bind them for 60 days? 30 days is understandable.

On top of my frustration the employee at the counter was giving me attitude because I was frustrated with this situation. I had some respect for these guys because of their clean and rather large space but I’ve lost all of that for their lack of customer service and extremely poor employee training. I don’t think my landlord or banks would require as many proofs of why i want to end their services with me.

I recommend people to stay away. Your fitness goals can be reached at better places.

So today I met with Peter, the Operations Director after a few emails back and fourth and I was absolutely sold. My girlfriend and I signed up on site and we are super excited to start our fitness journey at Rock Fitness.

I spent a lot of time going back and forth over the cost and reading all the reviews here but I advise strongly you go and meet with Peter and see it for yourself. After touring the facility it was clear that you get what you pay for and all of the equipment is top notch and even the gym layout itself is super well thought out.

A lot of the complaints you’ll see here are the result of folks who don’t read the rules or care to abide by them. I actually asked Peter about several of the cases to allow him to share his side of the story and while I can understand folks frustration in certain circumstances, I can also understand the gyms perspective, so please take them with a grain of salt and as with all things, really read the contract and ask the questions and make sure you completely understand the terms you’re agreeing to.

As someone who has had memberships with NYSC and Planet Fitness as well as NYC Rec centers, I can say that the Rock contracts are much more clear and the environment far better than any of my previous fitness centers.

Looking forward to getting fit this winter!

BEST GYM in Astoria! Great equipment and great staff! Since joining the Rock Fitness, my body has transformed for the better…I thank the Rock Fitness for everything!
30 November 2021 23:09
I have been going to the Rock for the past 6 months. I appreciate the wide range of people who go there as it's not all bodybuilders; but many "average joes", making it a welcoming and non-pretentious place to go.

The gym is pretty new as they moved from across the street, so all the equipment is new in perfect condition. There is always people walking around re-racking, cleaning, and making sure everything is stocked.

As far as the staff and trainers, i have always had good interactions with them. I do have a personal trainer "Adi" who I feel is highly qualified in his abilities to push me to where I want to be. In talking with others, it seems as others like their trainers as well.

Is it packed? As you would expect early morning and late night does have a lot of people, however it's not too crowded that you have to wait for a machine. If you do, people are really considerate and you wouldn't have to wait for long.

For a local gym pricing is reasonable for the amount of equipment they have. However, for the price, location, and quality of equipment if you take advantage of working out, it's worth the price.

I am looking forward to the juice bar they will be opening up as this would be a great addition to for getting that quick protein shake.
