Good priced gym. Great atmosphere. Elite machines, some items need to be better maintained. Most machines have some sort of ripped padding, cables missing nylon protection leaving exposed steel cables with individual wires fraying, rust/misalignment preventing certain weights being selectable on cable stacks.

Isn't as good as before, Gym is falling apart maintenance wise, Sauna barely works, TV's doesnt work nor stream anything, and some of important machines have been out of commission for awhile. Just isn't worth the price compared to other gyms in the area.

I cannot express enough how much I love this gym!! I started coming here a few years ago, and very early on the environment started feeling like family. The staff is always so friendly and helpful.. I had trouble adjusting one of the back extension machines and went to ask for help, the worker at the front desk stopped what he was doing immediately and came over to help me. They are constantly adding new machines and the owner does a great job at ensuring that everyone knows how to use them properly. A few months ago they added a machine called the hurricane and it looked pretty intense, I had replied the instagram post and not even an hour later, Brian (owner) responded with a tutorial on how to use it. All in all, I cannot recommend this gym enough. If youβre looking for a friendly, clean, local gymβ try out UEF. Plus, they make very delicious protein smoothies and offer a bunch of great protein snacks.

I will say it is a good facility for what your paying for the biggest downside I ran into was the fact I came in and asked the staff at the counter that I was thinking about starting a membership here and if they could show me around the facility to then be told that he really doesn't want too and that I can just walk around myself, I understand it's a gym and there's a culture that comes with that but if this business wants to scale then alot of focus needs to go towards customer service standards.
Update: I appreciate how quickly you responded, this happened today (04/24/24) at roughly 6:30pm, again I appreciate you replying so quickly.

Great place to train. Their equipment is well maintained and up to date (Cybex, Arsenal, Hammer Strength ect.). Beside a clown who was making a business deal out loud on his phone (every gym has always 1 or 2 of those individuals), everybody was training seriously. The place is spacious and clean, the music is good and not too loud; the customer service is also excellent.

Was in town visiting relatives and needed a place to get a lift in and came across Upstate Empire. The front desk staff ladies were extremely friendly and helpful. I was very impressed with the equipment selection and Dumbbell variety. The entire place was very well organized, clean and well managed. The environment and ambiance was pretty cool too. If Iβm ever back in the area, I would absolutely come back here again.

I have been a member at upstate empire fitness for about eight months now and they are 5 stars all the way. This gym offers a wide variety of services. I personally joined UEF for their personal coaching sessions. I have always been very intimidated by gyms and not knowing how to use the workout equipment. I signed up for one on one coaching with coach Tom Davis who I cannot say enough great things about. I was nervous to work with Tom because he specializes in power lifting and as a 37 wife and mom that's not what my goals were. But he set up a program for me to tone up and slim down. I had my doubts at first, but I have to say I'm so glad I stayed the course. I feel and look 100x better and I would have never gotten here if not for UEF and couch Tom Davis. If you're like me and you need that extra bit of motivation give upstate empire fitness a try.

Life changing facility and staff here. It's a phenomenal gym with great staff and patrons. I never feel embarrassed lifting or doing cardio. Everyone is there to help spot or with form. It's a family like atmosphere and even our kids love going. The mock meets show off some incredible power lifters and the array of trainers that come from different backgrounds and family lives gives you options to choose a trainer you're comfortable with.

I called on two occasions asking if there was a military discount and they said there was.
When I showed up, they said that the discount for a year and they would not accommodate a short term discount. The front desk girl was rude and unadaptable. However, I agreed to the one month pass to not argue with her and move on.
I tried to be nice and we even chatted for 40 minutes as she helped me shop for store merchandise. I spend over $100.00 in merchandise.
The military reassigned me somewhere else the next day, so I called back to ask for an amendment to a $10.00 day pass could be done. I even offered paperwork to prove what I said. I also mentioned that I did spend over $100.00 in merchandise too.
The manager accuse me of being rude and raising my voice to her employee, the one who was rude to me, who was eager to sell me over $100.00 of merchandise and a $45.00 membership and because of that they would not accommodate my request even though it is only the owner who makes the call from what she said. When it came to that she had no problem taking my money and pretending to be friendly. This was obviously an act.
The manager refused my request and used that as an excuse to not refund me and sighted the contract I signed.
They have military flags everywhere, however they do not adapt to military soldiers who come and go, or provide basic customer service, give attitude and want only their money.
Their shower (only one) was disgusting, pubic hair and underwear fluff everywhere. Their sauna is a walk in closet that burns you with all the meddle edges and screws. No one wipes any of the equipment and it is not enforced by staff. For the two hours I was there I not see anyone wipe down anything.
They were already closed down for a covid outbreak staff said in the past. They have a book to sign in for contact tracing however they do not enforce it.
Chipped walls, moldy smell, drafty, with entitled staff with the poor customer service or interpersonal skills.
This is not a positive space for military, they only support the troops superficially to get money, not willing to tolerating military movements or culture.
I do not recommend this gym to any military, or civilians.
Support the troops is NOT just a slogan.

Updated equipment that is organized and neatly distanced from each other - no clutter or jungle gym. There's also a big focus on the community by hosting competitions, even featuring their progress photos, personal bests, and by having their signatures on their walls.
It features everything from cardio machines, turf, group classes and power lifting equipment. Affordable and modern. A real gem that's proud to represent New York.

I not only use the facility at UEF but took advantage of a diet/exercise program. I haven't felt better (and looked better lol) in years. I also have to add because it's important to most of is who feel we are or were "overweight" I was eating more then I ever have and more importantly my trainer at Upstate Empire helped me learn to focus on results and fitness success instead of the scale and I'll tell you I've never been happier.

Upstate is the best gym in this area for anybody who is into fitness training. The best thing about the gym is that it provides a friendly, positive, and family-centered atmosphere. If you are a serious lifter, Upstate has added the most quality, strength specific equipment you can buy. The owners and staff are all very knowledgeable and can greatly improve the fitness progress of beginners all the way up to professional athletes.

Brian has been my coach for a little over a year and he has truly helped me not only transform my body much faster than I ever have on my own, but also my mind. Helping me to see what is possible both in the gym and how to approach my nutrition. The gym itself is top notch! I have only been once since I live out of state, but it was immediately apparent that every person in there was there to make themselves better. I wish I had that type of environment every day to workout in because it truly makes you better when you are surround by people that are that dedicated to achieving their goals.

UEF is everything I could ask for in a fitness facility - from the obvious things like equipment and cleanliness, right down to the smaller things that add to the gym experience, such as their gear and protein goodies, UEF is five stars across the board. Not only that, but their staff and customer service (and child care!) is amazing, and I happily make the hour round trip because it's really *that* worth it. My education is in sports medicine and athletic performance, and the blend of real-life experience plus progressive, research-based methods at UEF is second to none.
In short: Great facility + great people = a very happy and dedicated customer right here.

Upstate Empire Fitness is the best gym in the area, hands down. The staff are great, always greeting the members with a smile and a friendly hello and goodbye. Iβve been a lover of group fitness classes for many years and the Les Mills classes are incredible. There is a class for everyone at every fitness level and the instructors are professional, encouraging and inspiring. The facility is clean and the equipment is top of the line with new equipment being added all the time. They have tanning, daycare, 24 hour access, and the most experienced and most knowledgeable personal trainers in the area. Whatever your goals are, you will be sure to achieve them at UEF Gym. They donβt just say theyβre for the member, they are 100% for the member. I know this because they continue to give us the very best of everything.

Whether you're an avid lifter, a group fitness lover or you're just getting started and have no idea where to begin - UEF has the best of everything! They offer unparalleled fitness/nutrition programs from the most experienced and knowledgable coaches in the area who truly customize the program for YOU. Their ability to create unique, successful programs is like the work of a mad scientist - in the best possible way. The staff are friendly and helpful. They even have kiosks with how-to videos for the equipment because, let's face it, new equipment can be intimidating! Their group fitness is unquestionably the best in Utica. Les Mills classes are world-renowned, based on decades of science and loved in thousands of gyms across the globe. The instructors are so motivating. They complete rigorous trainings and continued education, and it shows in the quality of their classes. But the best part of all is the family and camaraderie this place has cultivated. It doesn't matter if you've been going there since opening or if it's your first day; they'll welcome you like family. Everyone is willing to lend a hand, encourage you, and answer questions. It's truly a second home.

We've been gym consumers for 10+ years. We've been to many gyms across the country. UEF brought the best of everything to one place. 24/7 access, state of the art (made in AMERICA) equipment, daycare, internationally renowned LesMills group fitness classes and a supportive, high energy, family atmosphere.

Attended Les Mills classes here- great instructors and really friendly members. Just $7 to try out any of their group fitness classes. Plenty of parking and a small kiosk to buy water, juice and healthy snacks. Juice bar for proteins and health shakes as well.

Clean facility, friendly staff and well maintained machines. The people who are members here are the perfect amount of serious when it comes to working out. Not so over the top to feel threatening but serious enough that there is little milling around or small talk.
I haven't had a problem with people taking too long on the equipment either. There's nothing worse than being in the middle of a workout only to realize the same guy is using the same squat rack that you saw him on when you first walked through the door. I haven't had to wait to use any equipment since I joined a couple months ago.
There are a number of classes to choose from as well. I haven't tried them but I've heard good things.
The perfect gym for intermediate gym goers.

This is a great local no-nonsense gym with a good mix of freeweights, machines, and cardio. Good value for what it is, and friendly staff and friendly patrons. I went a couple times while visiting and didn't see any overly territorial body builder types, just guys and gals lifting and running/elliptical/cycling etc. Not too crowded even after work hours. Classes seem popular but I didn't go.
I would give 5 stars if it was a bigger location with more space, but, this would probably dictate higher fees.
