GREAT Gym/Fitness Center in Queens (Astoria, Woodside area)

I know there are a few of you on here that have recently moved/are moving to Queens...

Incase you havent heard of the BQE Racquetball & Fitness Center..

I used to go to this gym years ago, and I thought of mentioning it here, since the prices are probably MUCH better than other gyms in comparison.. They have everything from a cafe/bar to a swimming pool, and they are open 24hrs.
A friend just looked to sign up, and she got a membership for $215 for 2 years, and its a 5day thing (no mon or tues) I remember they had 'night owl' and 'early bird' type memberships also. This price could be REALLy low because she was a member in the past, so it may have been a renewal price.
Its located maybe 2-3miles from Steinway St/Astoria Blvd.

I just found an old article on the gym, if anyone wanted more info.. its worth it for the price. (if the prices really are this low!) even if you have to drive ten minutes to it.

Good Luck trying to find parking there

so true jenn! there were times that we even walked there (like 5 miles )
If you go 'off peak' though its awesome.
Even at the gym I work at here in Suffolk, parking is a nightmare

Anna, what gym do you belong to here? Looking to get into something soon and I think you are in my area.

I'm looking for some gym buddies myself... I'd like to find one where I can take pilates and/or yoga.

Golds Gym in Smithtown... Great, state of the art facility... I cant wait to start using it alot more often They have all classes from spin to yoga to boot camp (WOW what an awesome class!) They are in the $50-$60 per month range I beleive.
