Top 5 Gyms in New Jersey

1865 Harrison Ave, Camden, NJ 08105, United States

“I absolutely love this place! The grounds and the facilities are beautiful. They have a very nice fitness center and their group exercise classes are great. They even have aquatic fitness classes. Everyone there is very supportive. The atmosphere is much more positive and inviting than regular gyms. They also have other services and events for the community.”

“The range itself is outstanding. It’s equipped with modern safety features and is suitable for shooters of all skill levels. I appreciated the clear safety guidelines, which were strictly enforced, ensuring a secure environment for everyone. The range officers were attentive and always available to offer tips and assistance, which enhanced my shooting experience.”

“We love coming here. There is a nice walking / bike path with many more trails around. There are a few docks to take in a nice view of the water. There are two play areas with a variety of things for different aged kids. There are also benches and trash cans all over the play areas. The only thing that could be improved would be the restroom availability.”

“The facility in Wayne New Jersey is extremely clean. The people working behind the desk are very friendly and helpful. I go there almost every day and can tell you it is absolutely top shelf.”

“It is a beautiful Pine forest. It is a great place to go for an easy hike or walk. It is all very flat. They also have a wheelchair friendly trail there. There is also a nice lake to hike to or visit by car. The recent wildfire may have affected some areas of the park, so check before you go.”

”The Ultimate Crew And Captains! Undoubtedly the Best Boat in the Belmar Marina! Don’t Even Bother with other Day Boats ! Full Restaurant Heated Cabins ! Epic Fishing Experience!”

40 Watchung Ave, Chatham, NJ 07928, United States

”Overall, staff is friendly and the facility was clean and seemed to be a decent size. I don’t have much experience to compare it too. It’s connected to a tennis center, so be sure to park around back when you enter. I’m a beginner so I reserved a staff beley with a friend. Kiki was friendly and helpful. I plan to go back and possibly take a belay certification and make this my monthly activity.”

471 Cortlandt St, Belleville, NJ 07109, United States

”They told me it was the best gym in NJ. It's mid-tier, and things are getting worse. The owner and a trainer were adamant about how this was the highest level gym in NJ. I have been to Bally's, Crunch, Equinox, NYSC, LA fitness, Blink. Moving to jersey, I was looking for 1 - nice kept sauna 2 - cleanliness 3 - racks and powercages 4 - (extra) amenities (towels, shampoo) All of these things are acceptable at Crunch. I expected even more after the introduction, kinda like Equinox (which is awesome but too expensive). Unfortunately, Signature Fitness fails on 3 out of 4: 1 - the sauna is a total joke. There is a big sign that says limit of 4 people, yet there are often more people, with shoes and clothes, blasting their iPhone youtube and music, phone calling on speakers. Management doesn't care. 2 - showers are not clean, you can see gunk on corners and soap holders. The sauna is dirty. The steam room is perpetually out of order. 3 - racks and cages are great, kudos. This point is checked! 4 - no towels at all, no shampoo, just mistery blue soap from dirty dispensers Extra note: it's supposed to be open 24/7 but today it was closed and it will have limited hours for 4 days for labor day, and most importantly: 1-I called to ask, nobody was there to answer the phone, no voice-mail saying it's closed 2-It was not updated on their website 3- no signs to remind you about closing time during precedent days So they made me waste a trip to find out. At least leave an automated message saying the gym is closed!! I attach a picture of all the people around a bit confused. They have some pro bodybuilders working out here, which could be a perk if you are into that. Bottom line: With the new owner things are getting worse. He is clearly lowering prices, going for quantity over quality. I would be happy to pay double and have a true excellent experience, with amenities, a nice quiet and clean sauna. This gym is going the opposite way. We'll see, I am happy to update the review if things change.”

”Gym was nice, a lot of parking, some equipment was broaken, there was no sauna”

325 NJ-35, Cliffwood, NJ 07721, United States

”I’ve been a member here since they first opened and I have watched this place essentially fall apart year by year. It’s either they can’t handle the volume of people or it’s poorly mismanaged. You will not be surprised to see broken machines, the infrared sauna is permanently broken, mens whirl pool never work and there’s only two squat racks in a very large gym. Additionally- if you are paying for the higher tier membership (like me) you have access to towel service but now due to the community stealing towel club but not maintaining or offering the amenities promised is basically predatory pricing. “Look at all this cool stuff but hey it don’t work just nice to look at” If it wasn’t for a good location (less than a mile from my home) and the turf I’d likely be gone. I’ll deal with the cons but if you’re an average gym goer I’d check out some other gyms in the area before committing. 1/22- Update they ran out of toilet paper. How do you run out of toilet paper? 1/27- Update- I entered the gym today on a Saturday morning at 10:30- it was peak time. Place was a zoo we had people on the turf doing handstands. Why I have no clue. I tried to get on a treadmill they were all taken but there were two open but as per usual they were broken. I decided to hit the free weights all benches taken. I immediately left and signed up at paramount.”

3015 Pacific Ave, Wildwood, NJ 08260, United States

”Amazing gym!!!! Clean. Professional hardcore!!! Every possible piece of equipment possible and nothing but solid steel dumbbells and plates!!!! All the legendary body builders on the wall for inspiration and a walk down memory lane!!! Highly recommend!!!”

152 Franklin Turnpike suite e, Waldwick, NJ 07463, United States

”This gym has own vibe. You get there and you just wanna work 120% Ozzy is a great coach, he finds common language with any age and any level. MMA education is a spot on. You can learn Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, Muay Thai here. Also they have strength classes for kids and adults. Overall Great place for teen development. Champions are built here !”

145 Commons Way, Bridgewater, NJ 08807, United States

”I have been a member for about five or six months. I've been to many gyms, but this place has a different style. This is the life complex for me. All employees are very caring and friendly. They are also very good at cleaning.”

1775 South Ave, Staten Island, NY 10314, United States

”All of this facilities Hydro Message beds are useless they either don’t have pressure or don’t let you make adjustments WHY do they EVEN HAVE A SCREEN BY THE BED?? like all the other PFs I go too. Staff is nice, and the machines work but they gotta do better in the black card spa”

1151 W St Georges Ave, Linden, NJ 07036, United States

”If you just want to work out, this place is perfect, which is what I want. The front staff are not friendly. They only say hello to certain people. Fine with me, but you should not be a greeter and checking cards. Half the time the paper towels are missing or the dispensers broken. The ab machine by the window has been down since Summer. For Pete's sake, fix or replace it.”

213 NJ-37, Toms River, NJ 08753, United States

”This place is a local legend, great staff and a history that none of the other gyms in the area can compete with. That being said, equipment is almost as old as I am which is frightening and as of late simply not being maintained. If you’re going to demand a premium fee, deliver a premium product. Still love them but they desperately need to reinvest in the gym.”

60 Chelsea Piers, New York, NY 10011, United States

”By far the best gym I have ever been to in Manhattan! Immaculate facilities, tons of equipment, extraordinarily well-kept and fresh-looking locker room with an excellent sauna and steam room. However, what sets this place apart from the rest is the atmosphere and environment in the gym. It’s light and airy, with high ceilings and windows that let in tons of natural light, looking out to the river. Since it’s on a pier, you can even see the Statue of Liberty down the bay. It motivates me to come back every day. The sheer amount of activities here is mind-blowing, from the indoor track, boxing ring, volleyball, basketball, and pool. Even the stretching area is excellent, with the artificial turf. The cafe seating area can double as a coworking space with Wi-Fi and views looking south down the river. The coffee in the cafe is even good! They also offer a private locked bike storage area in the garage included in the membership. I can not say enough good things about this gym.”

300 South Ave, Garwood, NJ 07027, United States

”Had to move away from Westfield for work permanently due to reassignment. Paid my membership in full and asked about what I could do for a transfer to another location or refund of my money since I only used the gym for 2 months. Refusal to help at all, or give any options. Customer service is completely non existent. I chose the pay in full since I had heard horror stories about canceling memberships here, and figured paying in full would be more straightforward. Terrible service for service members!”

100 Commerce Way, Hackensack, NJ 07601, United States

”A no nonsense gym with everything you need for cardio, resistance training (free weights and machines) and opens ultra early on weekdays for those who don't have time during normal daytime and evening hours. Exercise equipment and locker room is well maintained and clean. Ventilation and lighting are good. Bring your own towel and lock (for daily use of the locker room). Their mobile app can be used to record/track your workouts, as well as compete against others. Facility also has wifi if you don't want to chew through your data plan while listening/watching your device during workouts.”

200 John T O'Leary Blvd, South Amboy, NJ 08879, United States

”Been taking my son here for 2 years. They have by most the best swimming classes out there very satisfied with my child’s progress. Clean environment, friendly staff.”
