My husband and I regularly go to Mike Arteagas for their Healthy Back and Neck program. Its fantastic and has helped us both tremendously!The gym is extremely clean, very well run and the staff are warm and professional.Thank you!

Hometown team.. a great local spot seriously underrated for the back rehab theyve been reviewed on like CBS 60 minutes for their back pain relief & rehab! Great environment & vibe!

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.

I love this gym. All of the staff are very kind and professional. I love to use the pool early in the morning. Would totally recommend this gym a more mature crowd if thats what youre looking for and also very clean.

Love using the pool and the rowing machine. So much better than planet fitness! Staff are super nice and its always very clean.

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.

They have a wode range of equipment, programs, and the pool is an amazing plus! The staff makes you feel like a human,not a number.

I have gone here for many years. This place is always evolving. Come try it out. I think youll like it.

Cleanest gym Ive ever been in. Ive never had a single concern during this pandemic while working out in their facility.

Great Gym. State of the art equipment. Pool. Great staff and trainers and good location.

One of the best gyms Ive ever been to. Amazing staff, well kept equipment, huge variety, and fantastic classes. After a workout hit the pool or the sauna for a great finish! Would recommend to everyone of all ages and fitness level! Oh and the X-Force machines are world class, crazy pumps.

Best facility in the area. Upgraded safe precautions for Covid-19 are evident and I felt safe the entire workout. Great job everyone!!!!

Great facilities, clean, newly renovated locker rooms and new pool . Friendly and professional staff, I love it here !

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.

Signed up during covid because they take covid seriously unlike a couple of other local gyms I checked out.Pros:Its bigNot crowdedCalmNot too much of a gym bro atmosphereLots of machines and spread out over multiple floorsCons:Always a wait for the cable machinesSeem to have purchased new weird xforce machines monitored by staff instead of new regular equipment you can use independentlyCloses early on the weekends

Excellent gym with old school and modern machines.the vibe is older or college kids.but mature atmosphere.

Proper social distancingMultiple sanitizer station availableVery open and safe feel

By far my favorite gym that Ive belonged to.

Nice gym friendly people.

The staff is wonderful and friendly. The place is very clean, huge parking lot, very friendly atmosphere and very comfortable place to workout at. Not to mention they have an amazing child care staff also with a huge CLEAN room for the children to play while patents get to workout at a very reasonable price!! There is everything to love here and not one bad thing can ever be said about this place. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!

Lots of equipment and friendly staff. Lots of parking.

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.

What I pay for membership is worth every penny. Staff is awesome! ALWAYS clean !

Been a member over 3 YRS its my happy place clean,value for the fee, great trainers

Love it!!! Awesome classes. Awesome instructors and friendly staff who remember your name. The facility is constantly being cleaned so I am assured I am not working out on a sweat filled piece of equipment like Planet Fitness! Other previous posts...ignore them!

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.

Outstanding staff at all levels! Trainers are there to monitor what you do and motivate you to do the best you can. None of the staff is ever idle and each one makes you feel like they care about you. The gym is immaculate. Planet Fitness and Golds Gym do not even come close to the standards of Mike Artegas!

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.

This is the Cheers of gyms, where everybody knows your name! The staff is super kind, and the instructors ROCK! Groove, Group Active, Ride, and Kick are my favorites and the instructors are top notch!The addition of Zumba has been fabulous, and the pool alone is worth the membership cost.I LOVE THIS GYM!

This club STINKS. If you want to swim say min we’d fri YOU CANT !!The jacuzzi is cold every Wednesday & Saturday morning because INSTEAD OF CLEANING IT AT NIGHT WHEN THE GUM CLOSES HE DOES IT IN THE MORNING!!!He also fills the pool with cold water EVERY WEDNESDAY & SAT MORNING INSTEAD OF AT NIGHT!!!I’ve never experienced such an insulting managementHE EVEN HAD THE LOUNGE CHAIRS RENOVED FROM THE POOL BECAUSE AND I QUOTE “ people were staying too long”IF TGERE WAS A PROPERLY RUN CLUB ANYWHERE AROUND IM POSITIVE THIS ONE EOULD B OUT OF BUSINESS!!!

This gym is basically fine, the machines all tend to be kept in good condition and everything, but there are some major issues with it.I joined just for the pool. The pool, however, has a lot of rules that are enforced with varying degrees of consistency depending on the guard at the moment and often border on the absurd. One such rule Ive been told is they dont allow fins. I use short, training fins often to strengthen my legs and work on good form. Sometimes Im allowed to use them and others, Im not. They also dont have basic amenities all other gyms with pools Ive been to had: pull buoys, hand paddles, a towel service, and suit spinners (bathing suit dryers).Additionally, the inconsistent enforcement of often ludicrous rules is not just true of the pool. I once had a Gatorade or something like that and was not allowed to bring it into the gym - no drinks with dye allowed, is what I was told. (If memory serves correctly, they were selling Gatorade with dye at the time, but I might be wrong on that.)They lack basic amenities, as Ive mentioned above. They also dont keep scales in the locker rooms. I asked about that after I joined and they told me that they way I look and how my clothes feel should be enough. Sorry, no, that is a basic piece of equipment at a gym because they are usually more accurate there than home scales.The membership fees are fairly high for the area, but they seem to get away with it because they offer one of the only indoor pool options in a large radius. The fee to bring a guest is HUGE: $15/person for the day, and no free guest passes EVER.The class schedule is difficult to make use of if you work 9-5 and they close the gym on nearly every federal holiday.About half the staff are very friendly and the other half very rude. They do have some incredible yoga instructors, though.Overall, Id skip this place unless you really desperately need a pool and cant make the trip to a farther location.

Its really big so that theres never a line for anything. And the staff are super cool and helpful.

Clean and friendly atmosphere. Well maintained. If only one could prepay...

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 Id say the gym is ok but could use some minor improvements.

Everyone is friendly and the classes are great. Has all machines, a pool and personal trainers if you want them.

My gym for 4 years. Great place with a mix of college students up to seniors. No lunkheads.

Ive been an avid gym goer and self proclaimed fitness junkie for a long time Ive been to every kind of gym. I spent two years studying personal training. Ive 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 Ive been in this gym half a year. Its awful. You have much better choices in the area if you look or are willing to drive. So lets start with the gym cultureThe people are primarily college age. This isnt bad issue is none and I mean almost all, dont 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. Its not extra exercise its frustrating. I went to grade school I know how to match shapes whats going on here. This is annoying but the people are also just rude.Very stuffy its 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. Youll 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 Arteagas does the opposite.This is another pet peeve but card swipes for gym entry are the most efficient for gyms at the size of Mikes. Its 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 dont 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 dont do much.Lets 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 Mikes many of them drink things like pre-workout and post. Why am I only allowed to bring water in. I shouldnt have to smuggle in pre-workout like Im 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 arent water all the time. It cant be due too spills. Ive never seen anything spilt there. Most of the gym is hard flooring. If someone does make an obscene mess why wouldnt they just be charged anyway.The reason youd go to Mikes is convenience and its pool. The gym is too small for the amount of people that go there they are expanding but I highly doubt thatll change anything. If you want a good gym with a pool go to All sport. Its right down 55. If you want a big gym go to golds. 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 golds. Mike doesnt offer anything unique it is a messy poorly run gym full of charmingly annoying people. Save your money for a gym thatll help you I can tell you right now Mike Arteagas is not that gym.

Mike and the staff at Mike Artegeas are great, and always friendly. They dont like you kissing in the pool though. It offends the other members they said.

Been going there for years now. Smart staff, variety of workout options, pool, racquetball, great cardio. Staff remembers your name. Even the caliber of members is good. Places like Planet Fitness has absolutely nothing on Mike Artegas

Awesome place to workout with much to offer as you put your time in.

Always a pleasure! Top notch gym, always improving and staff is always super friendly!

Overpriced and since they lost the steam room, they lost me as a member

Amazing facilities everything works never too crowdedThey do need kettlebells though once they have those itll be complete

Love this place staff are great it’s a great environment well worth it

....and Mike is nice as wel . always takes the time to chat if you run into him at his facilities!

Best gym for the over 30 crowd!!

Workout variety and swimming pool hot and cold tub amenities

Definitely needs some updating for gge price they charge.

Horrible experience here. I was staying at a hotel in Highland that had passes to the express location located next door. I said I wanted to take a group ex class, and was told Id have no problem paying an entrance fee to the Poughkeepsie location. When I arrived for the class, I was made to wait at the front desk for 25 minutes while they figured out which side of their ass faced the sun (they were all very nice), only to be told that they didnt offer day passes, even at $30+, would I like a membership? No, Im visiting the area from out of town for the weekend so I wouldnt like a membership. It was a terrible experience, compounded by the waiting and no one seeming to know what they were doing. Fortunately Crunch Poughkeepsie down the road was able to accommodate me with AMAZING group ex instructors & workout area. Id rhighly ecommend them to anyone visiting the area- do NOT go to Mike Arteagas.

THE healty back program Is AMAZING

Terrible place. Way too many rules, especially the rules made up by the attendant at the pool. To watch TV on a treadmill you have to have an IPOD? Cmon. They also do not follow their own rules, as babysitting at the pool is also done by the attendant there. Go to Planet Fitness instead ( unless you are desperate for a pool ).

5 BIG STARS. Quality facility and staff at resonable prices.

Very nice

Clean, well maintained, friendly staff, reasonable rates

I like it and work hard to be a member

Best gym to work out in Poughkeepsie NY

Has facilities from swimming pool to movie theatre

Abby is the best!

It was terrible. They always tried to come up with a way for me not to go. They are races against black people. If you speak up or ask for anything they will band you.
