Good cheap gym? Bensonhurst

I remember Ferrigno's gym on McDonald ave between M-N. It was a great place and my friends and I would go there often after school and in the summer. The place was managed by Lou's brother and Lou's sister worked out there often. It was a large gym with a great locker room. I used to pay $200 for a years membership. They even had a large parking lot for the members.
Unfortunatly its a furniture store now. Ugly over the top furniture store. Ferrigno's gym has been closed for many years. If they opened up again, I would sign up in a heart beat!

I was last at Ferrigno's Gym in 1997. Before they turned into a furniture store, the Ferrigno's did only gym equipment sales. Here's a tidbit on how it all started, or rather how it ended.

A guy named Donnie Puccio (sp) was bench pressing. I dunno exactly what occurred but a miscommunication happened as to who had control of the barbell. Story goes that Donnie said, "hold on I gotta scratch my nose". Somehow the barbell fell and wrecked his face. From what I was told, he had reconstructive surgery and people who hadn't seen him in a long time would nto recognize him. I believe he also sued the gym, and word was that Ferrigno did not have insurance on the gym. All sad cos Ferrigno's bro was very nice.
