Only gym around that has everything I need. Member a little over a year I think.
I like to do all kinds of stuff when I go to the gym. They have basketball, jump rope, treadmills, ropes, weights (obviously), and all sorts of other gym trinkets like rollers, medicine balls, and other gym doodads to play around with. Sportset keeps going to the gym interesting!
Everyone is really nice there too. You'll find all types of patrons here: young, older, from the neighborhood and not, seasoned gym rat or just starting out. They've got something for everyone, and the atmosphere is friendly.
I'm not the outgoing type who makes friends easily, but I've met a lot of fine folks at Sportset, some of which I've become good friends with! Currently, it's my favorite place to be!
My girlfriend isn't too happy about the amount of time I spend there.

Great workout facility! Clean, machines in good working order - super variety of machines and free weights, friendly staff, clean day care facility, new shake kiosk, Racketball, indoor field, cycling, kick boxing, spin & cardio group classes, an amazing training facility for up and coming athletes (ask for Jude) and the best personal trainer in NY (Greg - multiple title Body Builder Competition winner - the real deal folks) along with a super team of trainers. I enjoy and look forward to going there every week. If your not working out and feeling good time to sign up and enjoy a top quality facility to meet your every need. Highly recommend you jump start with personal training- worth the investment.

I've been a member of this gym for years and it is by far the best gym in the area. They are always updating the classes and the studios to make for the best possible workout experience. I love the way they changed the spin studio to make the room more intimate, it really adds to the intensity of the ride. The instructors are great and make you want to come to every class. The staff are super friendly and know everybody's name. This is a great family oriented gym that offers more than any other gym in the area for a great value.

I have been a member for 6 years and wouldn't go anywhere else ever. I am in love with the very beautiful yoga studio and amazing classes. I am a class junky and the athletic director keeps changing things up as do the teachers in the cardio, metabolic department. Whether kick boxing, boot camping, shredding, or kettle belling it's like a drug that keeps me coming back. Did I mention the awesome members who I look forward to working out with daily. The front desk staff and management know who you are and genuinely care about the clients! I belong to the best gym in Long Island!!

I just want to give a shot out to Sportset! I really feel they are the full service gym. Not only are there so many different wonderful classes (that kick a$$). My children love the daycare Maggie is wonderful!!! This month they stepped it up with a clean eating and fitness challenge. They go above and beyond to help you become healthy and happy with yourself!! Thanks SPORTSET!!!
Did I mention it's free this week they are running a promotion! It doesn't hurt to try! See you there!!!

“I have been a member of Sportset for over 15 years mostly playing racquetball, handball and using the exercise machines. Since I retired a couple of months ago I go everyday. There are boxing classes and two Kettlebell classes that I enjoy immensely. I strongly recommend this club to all.”

It’s friendly, has a neighborhood feel to it. There’s a gorgeous new yoga room with bamboo flooring and tastefully decorated. You’re relaxed before class even begins.

I've been a member here for about 7 years. I have rehabbed two shoulder surgeries and countless pains in this club. This club really offers it all. Physical therapy, sports medicine, clinics. All done professionally and with great respect. I've been a real happy member here, going from just racquet ball to doing yoga and attending various classes all for the price of a membership. I could not be happier with the equipment and the upkeep. The personnel are first rate always greeting you with a welcome and a smile. The amenities, such as, the locker rooms are adequate and better than most gyms in the area. Both my children came here and enjoyed the basketball and the trained staff.
I have tried other gyms, but this is the best around for all they offer. One more thing. The people who come are first rate. They are respectful, friendly and very efficient with the equipment. It's never really too crowded.
I like this club.

I joined Sportset two and a half years ago after a protracted illness. I had gained a ton of weight and atrophied to a horrible extent. When I first walked in there I was a mess. I was able to start working with a trainer and sat on a bike in the rear of the spin class and pushed the pedals around. Now I am a new women. I lost 70 pounds and spin like a wild child! I take other classes like yoga and step as well. I also lift weights regularly. When and if I get bored of that they have zumba, kick boxing, boot camp and a bunch of others. Thinking about racket ball next!
Although I was in horrible condition then, I was accepted and encouraged by everyone. I was able to create a whole new healthy lifestyle of diet and exercise with all the services available there. They keep it pretty clean and they have a steam room when it's all over. Not brand new equipment, but effective and wide ranging. Most important, you do not need to walk in there looking fit and toned to begin with. You don't feel embarrassed because there are people there at every level of fitness. Beginners to buff muscle heads.

“I’ve been a member of the gym for a few years. You’d be amazed at the capacity and the facilities of this gym, and it keeps on redefining itself.
Onsite physical therapy center, racquetball courts, basketball courts, free weights, stretching area, senior wellness group fitness, plenty of group classes, and my personal favorite is the revamped spin studio headed by a triathlete and an Ironman finisher Mike RVC Ryde.
I’ve been to quite a few gyms, and what sets this place apart for me is the variety, so when you get tired of one area of discipline, they have plenty more to challenge you with” http://www.yelp.com/biz/sportset-health-and-fitness-rockville-centre

GREAT GYM AND SPORTS FOR KIDS – Feb 3, 2011
“Sportset really has it all. A great gym with lots of space and nice people, multi-sport facilities for volleyball, squash, racquetball, and a huge indoor turf field for kids activities. My daughter recently attended a birthday party at the sports field which was a huge success and such a treat for all the kids in the middle of this cold and snowy winter. Definitely the best sports facilities all around in the RVC, Lynbrook area.” http://www.citysearch.com/profile/7466125/rockville_centre_ny/sportset_health_fitness.html
VOLLEYBALL CLINICS – Feb 3, 2011
“Sportset has been around for years, but has had a total makeover over the past few years. I have a daughter that wanted to play volleyball and wanted a program specifically geared to her age group (middle school). I spoke to the program director, Jason and he created such a program and has been running it for a few years now. He is terrific with the girls and is more than qualified to teach them from basics to beyond, since he is also a volleyball coach for middle school (I think in Queens). I felt my daughter learned a lot and the price was very competitive. Plus Sportset members get a discount.” http://national.citysearch.com/review/7466125

“In addition to the health and fitness club, SportSet offers a great venue for competitive raquetball. There’s always a challenging game to play or watch in one of the many courts available to members. They attract a diverse set of players from beginners to almost a professional level. Many times you can find tournaments to participate and you can always find a game of ball.” http://oddpath.com/odd/?profile=7466125&name=

“A very nice club catering to the fitness and recreational needs of children through seniors. The equipment is new and well-maintained. Staff is courteous and knowledgeable. Most important, it is not a cookie-cutter chain club, a la NYSC, Golds, Bally’s etc. It is independently owned and operated, and caters to the needs of the Rockville Centre/Lynbrook/Oceanside/Baldwin community area. It combines the best aspects of a health club and a YMCA. The indoor ‘Field’ facility is particularly outstanding. I’ve been to many clubs throughout the country, and this is one of the best. No glitz: just a nice place to go work-out” http://www.insiderpages.com/b/3718614248/sportset-health--fitness-rockville-centre
