About the Club

808 Union Street has been the address for "Fitness" for over 30 years. Dating back to the late 80s where it was "Bath Beach" and from the late 90's into 2012 where it was "The Slope" (aka SClubs). We re-opened on May 1, 2012 proudly as Slope Fitness. We survived the shutdown of 2020 and re-opened again on Sept 2, 2020 and proved that we can all maintain and healthy and safe lifestyle for both mind and body even during a pandemic. We still implement many of those same protocols from that time to ensure everyone's safety.
I welcome you to visit us and experience the difference between us and any other "big box" gym. Anyone can join a gym, but a club is a place where you want belong.

Great, conveniently located gym in north Park Slope. Has everything you need, accessible, friendly staff, and even with a year of use, never saw it uncomfortably crowded.

Awesome gym! Just joined today the process was easy and straight to the point. The receptionist Janelle was very sweet and patient. I was even able to start today after joining. Thumbs up to the owner as well, very responsive via email if you have any questions.

I’m writing this from Australia, just over 9 years since I left Brooklyn. I was casually looking through Google Maps and was so happy to see this place is still up and rocking… this remains the best gym I’ve ever been to in my life and I’ve got many great memories of my time here! I’ve been to a ton of different gyms since moving back “home” to Australia but have never found a gem like Slope Fitness.

I miss this gym so much! Great size, staff and atmosphere. Ahh the hours I spent here were well worth it. Join and you’ll see what I mean!

So happy to hear it’s still going strong after all this time:)

I never write online reviews, but I felt compelled to do so for Slope Fitness. This is the best gym I have ever been a member of. It is extremely clean, has just about all the equipment one would need, never feels too crowded, has a nice and respectful clientele where everyone wipes down equipment, and an excellent and friendly staff.

Keep up the great work, and I look forward to being a member for many more years.

This gym is always perfectly clean and never too crowded. The staff is friendly and the other gymgoers are diligent about cleaning equipment after using. It has all the equipment you need without being overwhelming or unwelcoming. Definitely recommend!

I recently joined Slope Fitness a month ago. It’s a good gym. Spotlessly clean (like perfectly, above and beyond clean) and never too crowded. It has all necessary equipment for lifting, cardio, foam rolling, etc. My only hope is that one day they get a hip thrust machine. I truly have no complaints and I enjoy working out here, whereas at other gyms I have felt stressed by crowds.

I’m totally digging this gym, and I’m getting back in shape. EVERYTHING I NEED...

If we don’t exercise - we ain’t gonna be pretty ... Overall this gym works very well for me.

I like Michael and staff a lot. I found Michael very reasonable, and informative. Hes good to talk to, and maybe he can set you up with something you feel really good about. He certainly did with me - I had a lot of issues with my dad, and been out of the city a lot, and he just worked well with this personal situation. I’m impressed.

Lina was so helpful today, with something entirely unrelated to the gym. So nice.

Very clean and well maintained place. Has enough Cardio equipment if you are a cardio bunny, which i find most Newyorkers to be. Staff is super friendly and quite helpful.

The owner Michael really loves what he does, very well spoken person, just pop in for a chat and you will sign up. The quality of service they provide obviously matters to them, you can see it in action not just words. The place feels different from any other gym franchise out there and my own personal experience so far is fantastic and i would highly recommend the place.

This place is the right amount of professional/friendly where you get quality service without feeling like just an account number.

Excellent local gym. The staff is nice, the facilities are clean, and there's rarely a wait for equipment. They have been very good about their Covid procedures as well. If you live in the area, I don't see why you would belong anywhere else.

As a long time (20 years now) Park Slope resident I cannot speak more highly of this local, family owned and operated gym. Having a local and efficiently run gym in the Park Slope area for years has saved me hours of time, it's almost like having a large home gym it's so convenient. Also, as a 45 yo male who still lifts (or tries to) as he did 25 years ago in the mid 90s and have been training (in some fashion) since the age of 16 I have a thing or two to compliment about the gym. First, it's ultra clean, not just clean but ultra clean (and this was the case before the event of the past two years -- cleanliness is not a recent policy but a commitment from ownership since the beginning). Second, there is a great atmosphere for all types of people, age and ability are not judged. The fellow patrons are considerate and tend to focus on their workouts. Third, the ownership is dedicated. Example: one day a few months ago I was distracted and forgot my cleaning spray bottle from the front desk. The staff reminded me to go get it. That was the right thing to do. Just because I've been a member for over a decade does not mean I can skirt the rules. We have to be mindful. Finally, the staff are great. They tend to stick around for a while and you get to know them. Totally recommend this gym. -Evan

I have been with the gym fairly recently and I am thoroughly enjoying it after having been with NYSC and Equinox. I like to support independent businesses and this family owned gym is exceptional. Highly recommend. Great personal touches, extremely clean and sanitized regularly. The equipment is very well maintained and updated. I have a trainer and have been through three sessions so far and In impressed with the quality and professionalism.

THIS IS THE PLACE! Absolutely the best gym around, ULTRA CLEAN facilities, FRIENDLY staff and members, IDEAL LOCATION, no crowds to fight. All the equipment you need for cardio, weightlifting, crossfit, everything. Tons of classes with great instructors. LOCAL, FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS. I tried lots of other gyms but this is the place!

It's not just that it is immaculately clean and well-run. Or that it is the perfect size for a local gym, just the right amount of space and machines and never overcrowded. No, what I like best is the vibe. Friendly, encouraging, helpful. Cheerful! Not sure my Covid 15 is going anywhere fast, but my mental health is fully on the mend thanks to my return to Slope Fitness. Signed, Happy member for over a dozen years!

I used to belong to a different gym in the area but found myself going infrequently, so I cancelled that membership and joined Slope Fitness mostly because of its proximity to the Food Coop. I got into a nice pattern where I'd get in a workout around 8:30 or 9pm and then get groceries afterwards. The pandemic, of course, brought this good habit to a standstill. Gyms were completely closed for a while, but as they reopened, the folks at Slope Fitness were very transparent and accommodating when I asked to keep my membership on hold. And once I was fully vaccinated and ready to exercise indoors again, they were happy to welcome me back and show all of the safety protocols they'd put in place. I've felt very safe there, plus both before the pandemic and now, it's never been too crowded when I normally go. If you've been considering a membership, I recommend it. Slope Fitness is a neighborhood asset and I'd like it to be here for a long time.

Slope Fitness is the cleanest, most organized and caring gym! Guess that comes from the owner Michael Carlin and his daughter Sydney as they have taken every COVID precaution possible!
They even held outdoor classes on the roof! Wonderful and committed instructors and a pleasure to visit!

I've been going to this gym for around 5 years and have had a wonderful experience. Even before Covid, the gym was incredibly clean. The owner clearly puts member health / safety as their number one priority because the steps they have taken to ensure cleanliness are incredible.

The staff is always very friendly and helpful and the equipment is kept in great shape. In terms of facilities, the gym has everything you need. I'm very happy with Slope Fitness and happily chose it over other local options.

I'm a relatively new member and I'm very happy I joined. The gym is super clean and has excellent equipment. Staff are friendly. COVID protocols are thorough, but not overbearing. The monthly fee is reasonable and it's good to know that I'm supporting a non-chain business with a local owner. Highly recommend.

I love Slope Fitness!!!!! It is always *super* clean, the staff are very friendly, and the equipment is in excellent shape. It is easily one of the best, if not the best, fitness studios I've ever been to.

I switched from a cheap chain gym and I'm *so* glad I did. After being at Slope Fitness for a few weeks, there's no way I'd go back to a cheap, crowded gym with poorer standards.

It's also extremely well prepared for COVID. Plenty of space and thoughtful and professional staff. It's clear they are going above and beyond to keep it clean and safe for everyone.

Thank you so much to the kind and professional staff for helping usstay healthy and fit during these challenging times!

I’ve lived in 5 different states and been a member of at least a dozen gyms and Slope Fitness is by far the best. The staff is helpful and makes you feel like family. Even before covid, they were committed to keeping the gym clean and safe, but now they’ve truly gone above and beyond. I’m convinced this is the best gym in America.

I am so very pleased with my membership at Slope Fitness. I left my old gym after many years because the place was really falling apart. Now, I'm glad it happened. I was cautious at first as it seemed small but that has never been a problem. Lots of equipment but members are so careful to respect your space and it all works smoothly. . . . Members do not hog the space or equipment (YAY) The courtesy is contagious. It is rather low-key without the flash, bells & whistles of some local trendy places but very conducive to getting a great workout. I workout more frequently now and stay longer. The personal trainers all seem really dedicated (I'm using Vadim and it is a really good match). Staff is friendly and attentive. Everything I want and need in a gym!

Chose this gym because it was closer to me than the ymca and I like to support local businesses. If i were to do it all over again, I'd go with the ymca. It is not only cheaper, but a better maintained facility as well. The classes here are subpar and on multiple occasions I experience staff members bickering with each other on the gym floor. Would not recommend.

Don't join this gym. I joined because it is the closest one to me. It is more expensive than Crunch and offers little by comparison. The facility is old, machines are old, and the owner not very nice. Paid more to be able to cancel with a 30 day notice, not true. Do your self a favor and join another gym.

Overpriced and requires an offensive enrollment fee to join even for an annual membership. Their pricing is so out of control they are too embarrassed to list it on their website. Go somewhere else that applies civilized business practices compatible with the 21st century.

Slope fitness is one of the friendliest and cleanest gym's I've ever been too. I met the owner not too long ago (which also led to me printing the t-shirts for his gym), Mike, he goes above and beyond to make sure my experience in the gym is perfect. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the service we are getting, honestly we are being treated as family! I searched around for some other gyms in the area, but no one could have beaten the price and service offered by Mike, the owner! Anyone interested in a quiet gym, go to Slope Fitness! I highly recommend.

I joined the gym 2 months ago. The facility is well maintained and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I take the bootcamp class with Lisa and she is great. The class is fun and challenging. Nida was the introductory personal trainer who is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I enjoyed working with her. I will have an opportunity over the next couple of weeks to take some of the other classes and looking forward to it. But- will not give up Bootcamp with Lisa. Felice

I joined 2 months ago. I think they have done everything possible to make the small space comfortable, clean and well maintained. The employees are warm and inviting and the equipment is clean and new. My only complaint is the size of the locker room, but the small space is clean and well maintained, so I am not too troubled by it. It is very nice to be a member at a place where it really feels like a neighborhood joint. I have reccomended it to other new park slope residents.
