I started at Hardbat recently and have had a great experience. I am in my 50s and used to be pretty fit and athletic, but I'm currently not in the best shape.I was very nervous about going to a new gym, but the trainers have been AMAZING at helping me get back into fitness. They are so encouraging and can always help me adjust the moves to my capabilities.The other members have also been exceedingly welcoming and helpful.I'm very glad that I reached out to Hardbat, and I am very optimistic about improving my fitness.

I recently started at hardbat and this is my first time doing crossfit. The coaches have been extremely helpful and encouraging. Crossfit is challenging but it is challenging in the best way and I am enjoying the journey.

Hardbat is great. They are super welcoming to drop-ins, like me, and seem to have built a great community of regular, local members. The facility is huge, clean, and well organized. The coaches are knowledgeable and welcoming. Would definitely recommend checking Hardbat out.

I joined Hardbat as a recent college grad when I was feeling lost in my fitness journey because I no longer had the same accountability that I did as a college athlete. Meeting Derek and his team of intentional and passionate coaches helped get me back on track and gave me a community of great people who were all showing up everyday to make themselves and each other better. Derek’s programming reignited my passion and empowered me to push past the limits that I once had put on my body. If you’re looking for a top notch team of coaches, a beautiful and spacious facility, and a great member community definitely check out Hardbat!

I can’t say enough good things about HardBat!The Level Method programming they use assures that athletes of all levels workout to the best of their ability while working towards the next level.The coaches are amazing - not just during class - but anytime you need something or just want to chat with a friend , they are there. My favorite part is there is ZERO JUDGEMENT. I have said it before and I’ll say it every time - no matter what your shape, size, plans , aspirations, etc… you belong here.

I love Hardbat! Amazing coaches, in a clean and spacious environment. From an equipment standpoint they have everything you need.I've been working out at Hardbat since July 2023, opting for the personal training sessions. Iris has been an incredible trainer. When it comes to an ego free coach, one that focuses on you, your needs and your goals, there is nobody better. I’ve had other personal training at other gyms and the attention and focus you get at Hardbat are industry leading.

Stumbled upon Hardbat Athletics about 6 months and it’s changed my life for the better! I entered in hesitant if gym life was for me, but after meeting and working with Coach Shawn and experiencing the uplifting, supportive, and encouraging community that Hardbat members and coaches bring, I was hooked! Hardbat is a fantastic gym for all levels of people. I always leave feeling better than when I got there and am seeing such improvements in my health through the support and coaching from the team at Hardbat ?

Hardbat is the best gym in Newark (in my biased opinion). I’ve loved every second I’ve been at this gym and am seeing great results with my personal training sessions. Look no further if you’re looking for coaches who care and a positive environment to get fit.

Exceptional CrossFit Experience at Hardbat!I’m having an incredible experience at Hardbat CrossFit, thanks to my outstanding coach, Steve Bach. Steve's dedication and support during my intro sessions played a pivotal role in rebuilding my confidence at the gym. Now, as I continue taking classes, I'm excited about leveling up my fitness journey with the expert guidance at Hardbat. I highly recommend it to individuals of all skill levels – if I can do it, anyone can! Don't miss the opportunity to train with Steve; his guidance is truly transformative. 5 stars!

I started at Hardbat about 1.5 years ago knowing nothing about CrossFit, and I have never regretted my decision to continue with this amazing community. The coaches are all very welcoming, positive and knowledgeable. You never have to worry about feeling lost during a class, every movement is demonstrated with multiple levels for each class. Hardbat has pushed me out of my comfort zone, gain confidence, get stronger, and overall healthier.

I never belonged to a gym before joining Hardbat Athletics last month. I walked into Hardbat not having a clue of what it meant to work out or have a healthy life style. Hardbat has exceeded expectations for me. I truly enjoy coming in for my weekly training sessions with Coach Shawn. I also enjoy coming in for Open Gym and doing the work outs provided. I am seeing incredible improvements with my mobility and strength. I lived a very unhealthy lifestyle and after decades of trying to do it myself I decided I needed help...thank God a good friend told me about Hardbat Athletics. Hardbat isn’t just about workouts. I am being educated on the right way to exercise and stretches so I am not injured. My Coach helps me understand my current body limits and sets a plan on how WE are going to improve those limits and continue to get better. I am learning how to eat the right foods to help with weight loss and feed my body the right way. I even learned about proper footwear to limit injuries. I have met several coaches at Hardbat and they are awesome. The Coaches watch you and will help offer corrections ensuring you are doing the work out safely and effectively. They believe in me and they encourage me and I feel like I really can do it, the right and safe way. I feel very comfortable working out here. I look forward to getting my body to point where I can do more and continue to better myself long term.Regardless what level of health you are in, I encourage you to call Hardbat Athletic and take advantage of a solid program for total health package.

Hardbat is an amazing gym and community! I felt right at home since the moment I walked in the door. I was greeted with smiles and my nervousness went away. I love my workouts because they’re doable for me, and I always feel amazing leaving the gym! I would recommend Hardbat Athletics to anybody who’s fallen off the wagon before and are looking for accountability and motivation to reach your goals!

We love Hardbat! We started here with my daughter needing to get stronger for figure skating and they have delivered and then some. Our trainer, Nina, is absolutely amazing and so fun, kind and supportive. We really enjoy coming here and my daughter is gaining strength each week and becoming a better jumper thanks to Nina!
