Crowded around 5-7pm on weekdays (as with any gym) has a good selection of machines minus the fancy stuff. Open 4am-midnight for only $35 (great deal)

——RHINEBECK REVEIW ONLY——

The dumbbell area (8.5/10)
- ✅Has weights from 2lbs to 160lbs increasing at 2.5 to 5 pounds.
-🟨 The incline benches kinda suck! They are not like normal incline benches and have an extra pad randomly. Minor drawback. However the other free-weight benches are absolutely amazing.
-❌ Doesnt have enough/sometimes a wait for benches.

Barbells/compound movements(9.4/10)
-✅Good QUALITY!!! very well kept. And has the best metal plates that are very satisfying to click into place. They have 3 smith machines that are some of the best i have ever used. They have squat racks that will save you (they have saved me a few times!) and a safety rack with diamond steele on the bottom (would not recommend for squating.)
As for the benches they have 2 incline, 3 flat, and 1 decline (all barbell bench press). they also have a specialty deadlift hex bar as well as a sled.
🟨- sometimes people leave chalk on them.

❌- often have to work in with someone at peak crowd hours.

Cable machines (7.5/10)
-✅ they have plenty of attachments, some of which you have probably never seen before. The weights go up quite high for bodybuilder types, And as low as 10 Pounds. Decent variety.
🟨- People sometimes abuse these machines — thus Sometimes they break. Could also use some lubrication

❌- there is absolutely NOTT enough Cable machine machines for this whole gym Considering the size of it. This is without a doubt my biggest complaint about this gym. There is also no Dedicated cable fly peck deck machine, however you can make Do with what is there.

Machines/crossfit. (8.7/10)
✅- this is one of the IXL’s better aspects
It has a pull-up bar Area. 30 yard turf lane. This is great for pushing and pulling the sled on, Lunges, Or any other type of exercise Using the turf. It has the ropes for cardio, Countless resistance bands, ab rollers, Low weight dumbbells, and more. It’s perfect for seniors/older people who are looking to get in shape or lose weight. It has a mat for situps or whatever else you may do. It has a wide variety of machines for each muscle group: A REALLY GOOD PREACHER CURL MACHINE!! It also has great functional training capabilities.

🟨- The machine machines could use some WD-40 and could use a bit of Work on the pads but that is basically it.

❌- not much bad to say about this section.

Cardio equipment (9.8/10)
-✅ usually never crowded and has very good treadmills Which you can put your phone on! It has very good bikes and Ellipticals. And for the amount of equipment, just take what planet fitness has and cut it in half. Perfect for weight loss or seniors

-🟨 If you’re training with like 4 people on cardio trying to have a conversation it’s probably not gonna work out.

❌- Only has 2 stair masters which is annoying.

Amenities (9/10)
✅ this place has a sauna, clean ish showers, Mirrors for posing and showing progress. Plenty of flat surfaces for your stuff and was recently painted. It has a room in the back where i like to wind down after a workout.

🟨 i’m speaking for the men’s locker room when I say it STINKS! it smells like a mix of sweat, Cologne, and number 2. not a place to eat a sandwich.

❌ no pool or ice bath (Not that big of a deal, but some people like that sort of thing)

Community (10/10)

✅ This is one of the rare cases when I say a gym has a perfect community. At IXL you will find powerlifters, bodybuilders, crossfit people, Athletes, And everything in between. I have never had a rude or bad experience with somebody at this gym And I have never been judged harshly.

🟨 There can sometimes be some teenage boys hanging around some equipment that you wanna use but that is only at peak hours and there is almost always more than 1 Piece of any given equipment(Yes, even dumbbells)

❌ Sometimes crowded

The gym is by far the best i've been to. It's been years since I've gone to the gym and I'm getting back into shape and working out again and the environment here is like nothing else. So supportive. The fellow gym goers are always willing to spot or help when needed and are very friendly. The staff as well. The new Manager they have Cody made sure I had a good experience signing up and even gave me a tour of the facility to help familiarize me with everything. I am meeting with their trainer Alex soon who I've seen before and also extremely friendly and really dials the workouts and experience to each individual based off what you're looking to do. I highly recommend this place.

We are happy we joined. They offer a reasonable price for seniors and are easy-going -- nor rigid in their business practices like other gyms we have known. They are popular and frequented by many people, but there has been enough space and equipment for us to do what we want. One class we tried was so crowded we couldn't move. But it's the only one we tried so I have no more information on that subject.

I love this gym but what does it take to have the bathrooms supplied with TOILET PAPER? and have a clean exercise room and equipment? Although the pandemic is subsiding, there is still a good reason to have basic health supplies and cleanliness. It was much better before the pandemic but lately their standards have dropped...at least in Saugerties.

My husband and I wanted to get some information on possibly joining the club, we stood there for over 15 minutes before someone finally came out to greet us. The gentleman who came out to greet us wasn’t very pleasant. Seemed irritated to show us around, barely answered our questions with one word responses. We left the facility feeling frustrated to not have our questions answered. However, the facility itself was very clean and maintained well. I just wish we had a better experience with the staff member, especially being beginners into fitness.

The gym itself is great and has almost everything you need for any complete workout, the downside is there’s usually a lot of gym goers standing around chatting with each other can make it difficult to workout especially if they’re using a weight or machine that you intend to use. For a lot for the people there (especially in the 16-20 range) its more of a hangout spot then a gym.

It's a great gym. Been going there for years. If I had any suggestions, it would be to try adding a couple more unusual cardio pieces for variety (kind of like how they have the step mill). Think like a Jacob's Ladder, or a wave machine. Just a bit more variety for the cardio. Similarly a glute ham bench would be a nice addition!

If you’re looking for a great gym, join IXL in Rhinebeck NY. The staff is awesome, and the management is excellent. You will always be greeted with a smile and a hello when you enter the door. All staff members are very helpful and truly look out to be sure you are happy with your experience daily. If any issues should arise, they are delt with by management immediately. All equipment is always in working order and the building is very clean and well maintained. On your way-out staff will always wish you a wonderful day. Not one face goes unnoticed, I have never experienced this type of friendliness’ in any other gym before.

IXL is the best! For someone who was always intimidated by the gym, IXL has been very welcoming. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The gym is always clean. I had the pleasure of working with one of their outstanding trainers, who has been incredibly knowledgeable and encouraging. I have come to enjoy my gym time very much and look forward to going.

If you love throwing away cash on nothing this place is your perfect match. They purposefully charge you after you’ve cancelled in person and pretend they’ve never heard of you. It’s a legitimate scam. Take note of the negative reviews. If you absolutely must go here, make a video of you cancelling in person, I wish I had….

I have been to Fitness centers all over the country I have personally managed major fitness centers and I have also known the owner of the IXL fitness centers for a number of years every single time I enter one of his clubs it is always immaculate, the staff is friendly, and the equipment is in good working order and I’ve come to expect that as the standard of excellence.

Sadly other clubs in the area can’t measure up. I highly encourage you to explore this fitness center if you are on your own fitness journey

Although IXL paused memberships when closed for COVID they did not communicate when they started rebilling the monthly charges I called three times to have them cancel my membership because I moved out of state during COVID They continues to bill me. Finally today on my third phone call to them they have canceled my membership but are only reimbursing me for 5 months every though I have not stepped foot in their club since 2020 Watch you charges folks!!!

Great gym. Friendly & knowledgeable staff. Owner is a stand up guy. The clients that train here are genuinely nice people. Very clean! Olympic weights, free weights, dumbells up to 150lbs, machines and rows of cardio machines. Bathrooms are spotless. Showers and sauna . Plenty of parking. Rates are competitive and something for everyone's budget.
I will continue to train here and I recommend this gym to anyone.

I accompanied my pop for his PT to understand his program. I found the staff very good - they were very patient but rigorous with my dad, explaining to me the purpose and method along the way. Also, I wanted to take a couple of photos of my dad to share w my sister, and they were accommodating but politely guided me to keep other clients out of the pictures to protect client privacy - nicely done.

Overall, I liked the gym. I was not happy with the class times, but they would have at least 1 early class which was helpful. I'm most disappointed with their cancelation. I tried to cancel and I was still charged the yearly fee and the monthly fee. I was charged the monthly fee 10 days after I called. I was never told when I called that the monthly charge would still be occur. Poor customer service.

Great gym, great staff.
Treadmills-Recumbents etc well maintained rarely is one down.
More than enough freeweights and machines for most people even during the busiest times.
Early morning and 1-3. Are great times to go.
They have safe covid measures in place and easily accessible cleaning supplies.
+ experience all around.

Be careful. If you sign up with this gym beware of the terms and conditions or they will keep charging you indefinitely. I signed up for a 4-month membership online in August 2019.

Needless to say, 4 months was FALSE ADVERTISING. IXL kept charging $29.95 per month 4 months after the membership was supposed to be over. No apologies. No offer for any refunds. No accountability. Dave told me it's very clear that all memberships are "open-ended" and oh well.

I found the cancellation procedures after some digging:
• You must contact your club representative in order to cancel your installment, open-end or cash membership.
• Please do not send any form of request to cancel your membership to ABC Financial Services, LLC.
• Your cancellation will not be processed unless you fill out the proper paperwork at the club.

I have a bad taste in my mouth after the phone conversation and have no desire to ever recommend this gym to anyone.

Very nice gym. Has everything I need, and more.
Working with personal trainer Mike enables me to do twice as much in 1 hour than I could do by myself. He is knowledgeable, skillful, and can vary the workout so it's not "routine" or boring. He addresses my needs and concerns. Good experience with results.

DO NOT GO TO THIS GYM. If I could give 'no stars' I would. My husband had gotten a membership back in September of 2013. Of course they were so nice to him the day he got one. Because of moving, and financial difficulties we are not able to pay for the membership anymore. He called and went in numerous times and tried to get out of it and the manager (or the owner? Her name is MIRANDA) would not let us out of it. It seems to depend on her mood if she lets anyone out of a membership, because a friend of ours went in a few months ago and explained his situation; he was let out of the membership. The only thing that has come from that gym is heart ache and disappointment. We have recently been struggling, and living paycheck to paycheck, and MIRANDA has made it worse for us.
