Fitness & Gyms near Belmar, NJ

“I started at CrossFit Speakeasy in May of 2023 with zero CrossFit experience and honestly didn’t know what to expect. From day one, the coaching staff has been beyond supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my progress.

In less than three years, I’ve dramatically increased my strength and endurance, but more importantly, I’ve developed a stronger mindset and confidence that carries over into every area of my life. The programming is intentional, challenging, and designed to help you improve safely and consistently.

At 43 years old, I can confidently say I’m in the best shape of my life. The variety of class times makes it easy to stay consistent no matter how busy life gets.

If you’re serious about becoming a better version of yourself—physically and mentally—I highly recommend CrossFit Speakeasy. It’s more than a gym, it’s a community.”

“I booked a last-minute deep tissue massage at Kur Wellness Studio, and it exceeded all my expectations. Antoinette did an amazing job—she was professional, attentive, and knew exactly how to work out the tension. I left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. If you’re looking for a great massage, I highly recommend booking with Antoinette!”

“I joined this gym in February after learning I had a hip injury and wanted to focus on building strength and preventing further issues. I can honestly say I’ve been incredibly happy with the results.

When I first started, I wasn’t sure how a gym could have several people doing completely different workouts at the same time while still receiving individualized attention. But somehow it works. The trainers are consistently attentive, making sure your form is correct, offering modifications when needed, and providing one-on-one guidance throughout each session.

The community here is another huge plus. The members are welcoming, supportive, and have created a fun environment that makes showing up enjoyable. The trainers are knowledgeable, motivating, and know how to push you to improve while keeping the workouts engaging. No two workouts feel the same, and I’m always challenged in a positive way.

Most importantly, the results speak for themselves. I’ve been running consistently and pain-free for the last few months, which is something I wasn’t sure would be possible when I first joined.

I can’t recommend this gym enough. If you’re on the fence, give it a try and see for yourself.”

“I dropped in at Asbury Park Fitness today for the open workout. I was pretty nervous not being at my home gym. From the moment I walked in the door the coaches, owner and community put me at ease. Everyone was so welcoming I felt right a home. I highly recommend dropping in or joining. Great gym all around!! I’ll be back next week for 26.3
Update on my review.
Returned to Asbury Park Fitness for 26.3 and I’m confident where ever you are in your fitness journey you will be supported in your goals here. I’m competing injured this year and this workout was going to challenge my injury. I mentioned this to the owner and one of the coaches and received great feedback and strategy tips. I was happy with my score and most importantly left without inflaming my injury. Top notch coaching here. Whether you are looking for knowledgeable supportive coaches or just a welcoming community to workout in you will find it here!!”

“One year later and I’ve completed 161 classes at Orangetheory Fitness! This is something I never thought I’d say as someone who had never worked out consistently before.

The coaches are incredible and create the kind of accountability that feels supportive and motivating. They genuinely make it easy to keep showing up. The music, the strategy, the vibes are all there to keep me locked into my goals.

I also discovered a new passion for running because of OTF! Two 5Ks down and now I’m ready for a 10K.

Highly recommend to anyone looking to get stronger, healthier, and stay motivated. OTF Brick is the best!”

“This gym is really dope. It has everything you need. The staff is very helpful and if your too shy to ask for help, most of the machines have QR codes that show you how to perform the exercise. The gym is also open 24/7 which can be very convenient for people with busy schedules. If your thinking about going to the gym, Burn n Blast should be your spot!”

“After three months of the twice-weekly small group strength-training class I see progress and experience the benefits in everyday life. Trainer Matt V is perfect for someone like me, 60+ without formal strength-training experience. Friendly atmosphere with lovely gym owners. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.”

“The coaching staff, the atmosphere, the music, and the people around you create an environment that pushes and motivates you to show up every day. It’s a place where you’re constantly encouraged to be your best and keep coming back for more.”

“I joined Critical Mass January 2021, right after moving to the county, with Ken as my trainer. Went out on a medical leave and then came back at some point in March or April 2021. After doing countless one on one sessions Ken convinced me to come to class during one of the CM challenges. I never did a class and was convinced it wasn't for me for the longest time, till Ken convinced me to try class. Have been going to class ever since AND continuing to do one on one with Ken. I have had 2 trainers prior to Ken and NEVER saw as much progress as I have with Ken. Completed me second, MassFest, a lifting competition for many gym members to earn PRs, cheer on peers, and truly think the group of people are inspiring to watch and makes me want to continue to do better. As for Ken, he not only inspires you but knows your strength more than you do, and pushes you to reach beyond your full potential. I have never felt stronger in my life then at this point, and this is after being athletic in high school. Ken and Critical Mass are the sole reason for that. If you are debating on a gym or debating on a trainer, search no farther than Critical Mass and Ken”

“I’d like to share my experiences with Underground Gym. My son is a student athlete just finishing up his sophomore year of high school. The staff at underground is second to none. Zach and his crew. Are there every step of the way for a young athletes success. They realize it’s not just about a workout for an hour a few times a week.

They continuously strive the show that this is a process, and if the student follows the process, they will achieve success

Our son has been there for four years they push these kids physically, as well as mentally which shows their success on and off the field.

With youth sports these days from middle school high school and even ghe college level, it just keeps getting more physical and the workouts and training they provide Not only helps them succeed in their sport, but helps them from being injured

I would recommend Underground Gym to anyone who’s serious about making the commitment to not only train Physically but mentally as well, thank you Zach and your team”

“I've been training with Ryan for almost 3 years. He continually challenges me, pushing my limits, and my overall strength has increased. I couldn't recommend him more.”

“I absolutely loved my experience at OTF Shrewsbury! The workouts are easy to follow, even if you're new, and the structure makes it simple to track your progress. The coaches are incredibly helpful and encouraging, creating such a positive and motivating environment every time you walk in.

I was able to stay consistent, work toward my goals of losing weight and getting stronger, and actually enjoy the process—something I didn’t think was possible before joining.

Huge shoutout to Coach Jules for always bringing the energy and support—she made a big difference in my fitness journey!

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, effective, and supportive workout community.”

“Trained at this gym for years and unfortunately had to cancel due to a change of location. If you're looking for a real gym; not a commercial, crowded, and trendy fitness center, then you have come to the right place. Truly one of the last of a dying breed. Kent and Joe are awesome owners, who do everything they possibly can to accommodate their members. Very open in communication, and actually care about their concerns. It really feels like you are a part of a family when you enter. One of the few gyms I have worked out at (and I have been to a lot) that actually made upgrades and changes in my years of being there. I am grateful I was able to live so close to such an amazing gym, and I pray they are able to be a successful business for generations to come.”

“The owners, staff, and trainers are top notch. Spacious fitness center with a ton space, great classes from aqua fit (in the amazing pool area), strength class, total body conditioning, cardio ball and a ton of others with great space that is very well utilized.
The personal trainers give you a choice of working downstairs in the gym or you can get the vip treatment upstairs away from the hustle of the gym.
This place is one of the best. Clean, affordable with great options for your membership. A top quality fitness center!”

“My daughters really enjoyed training with Jon. They learned proper form and developed understanding of their muscles and strength. We will definitely be working with Jon again!”

“I had the chance to train here while spending the summer in Brick, and I can’t say enough good things about it. Jason is a fantastic coach -knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in his members. The workouts were tough but always rewarding, and I left every session feeling stronger and more energized.

As a new father, I was looking for a gym to help me balance the physical and mental demands of this new chapter of life. Upswing Fit gave me exactly that: a supportive environment, challenging workouts, and a great community. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!”

“I just moved to Jersey and was trying out gym trials all around until I found Pearl Street Gym. It was just the vibe I was looking for, it’s lowkey and private. The “busy” times don’t compare to normal gyms, there’s always open equipment.”

“CrossFit Tact is outstanding! Pat is a fantastic trainer, with just the right amount of caring and patience along with knowing when to push you. I can't recommend CrossFit Tact and Pat more!!”

“Good place to get a workout where folks don’t hog equipment or act creepy or disrespectful. As a serious lifter, I get my work in and the other people are also focused on getting the work done.”

“Best all around gym in the area for a reasonable price. Clean, well maintained, well layed out, good group classes, and great selection of equipment. Everything you need and nothing you dont.”

“Friendly staff, decent equipment cant beat the price just wish no connection to banking account, why i have credit cards & even Chime they still want rounting # of my bank.
"Found a gold ring" Sunday evening anyone lost 1 what kind? No 1 at front desk & dont see lost & found. Will drop off at front desk when staff there.”

“One of the best parts of our annual trip to the Jersey shore is being able to drop in at JSA Crossfit. Welcoming gym, tough but doable workouts and some fantastic people.
Coach Kyle is the best. See you next year!”

“New Tandem Movement in Surfhouse! My first warm yoga class and first one in about 18 months. Superb pacing and flexibility (for us non-flexible guys). Many options to add flow or just work on balance and strength. Warm vs hot was a win -- didn't come out drenched and I'm ready for the next class. Zero attitude and lots of helpful guidance on poses from Kristin.

Update week two: much smaller class today and individual attention, focus on breathing and poses really helped. Now going to be a regular”

“Dannyelle A is a breath of fresh air at Crunch. She is different from the other trainers that work for Crunch. She’s fresh, innovative, challenging and uplifting. Dannyelle does her homework, always prepared for class trying out new moves for us. I would love to see more of her. Lots of favoritism at Crunch Roosevelt and Bensalem unfortunately.”

“I go to the Monday night yoga class with Andrea. She is amazing, she is one of if not the best yoga teacher I’ve been to. She starts by asking us what we want to work on, any soreness, she’s in tune, she’s fun. If she leaves I’ll downgrade my membership. I also have done Regina’s classes too and she’s great I just can’t make Thursdays In general the equipment is clean, good, staff are always friendly, hours are good.”

“I’m going to start off by saying how extremely disappointed I am with the new changes that the other Brick location made (Brick Blvd) I loved the staff, especially Tracy and Sue but because of the changes, I’m now coming to this location instead. They have all of the machines that I’m used to and love. I was greeted by Eric and he was absolutely amazing. He was very personable and happy to help! It’s hard to find good employees and people who actually enjoy what they’re doing. Don’t lose him and I would do whatever you can to make sure he stays!”

“King's Fitness is a solid choice for your fitness needs, whether you're a complete novice or have a good measure of experience. Sarah and her team are welcoming and give you the individual attention you need to reach whatever goals you're striving towards, whether it is competing, moving better or getting stronger. Recommended without reservation.”

“We can’t say enough good things about this gym! Our 12-year-old son has been training here for 1 year, and the transformation we’ve seen in him has been truly incredible. He has grown into a more confident, focused, and resilient young person.

The instructors are not only skilled in Muay Thai, but they also genuinely care about the kids' development—both physically and mentally. They create a positive, respectful atmosphere that encourages hard work, discipline, and self-belief.

We’re so grateful for the impact this gym has had on our son's self-esteem and personal growth. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a place where their child can thrive—not just as a martial artist, but as a person.”

“I am sorry to do this but you guys are killing birds with your really clean glass windows. They are flying into the windows and dying on the bottom of the building and twitching. Everyone is upset. Please put reflectors on the windows or something. It’s kind of ironic your business is called WINGS. I have no way of contacting you guys besides this. Thanks and please do something. These beautiful birds are dying painful deaths.”

“This review is long overdue—I joined CKO because I’m getting married and wanted to drop a few lbs. I’m a shy person when it comes to working out but from the very beginning, owners Tom, Alyssa and staff- Jill, Gabby, Mike, etc. have been so friendly, encouraging and upbeat—especially Tom who is knowledgeable, motivating, personable and has gone above and beyond to help me during my weight loss journey. Now, a year later and I’m almost at my weight loss goal. I’ve gained strength, confidence, energy and have improved my overall well-being—physically and emotionally. Definitely recommend and encourage to give it a try! Thanks CKO ??”
