Fitness & Gyms in Brick, NJ

“Shore Kickboxing in Toms River, or Silverton has been a blessing for our daughter. She has somewhat struggled with listening, following directions and other social skills related to confidence that most would expect a 5 year-old, who is just beginning to explore or understand these concepts, to have some difficulty with. It is simply amazing to see her confidence, as well as her physical and intellectual dexterity develop in the very brief 6 or 7 weeks she has attended Shore KB, and it does seems fair to mention that she goes 3-4 days per week bc, check this out, she really enjoys it! I’ve only met Master John so far, and while I hear Master Mike is excellent as well, it is John who I have witnessed employ exceptional patience, clear, concise and considerate direction, and an attitude that keeps a pretty darn wide age range of kids interested in learning his art. I don’t go blubbering on verbally every time I see him, but I hope he knows that he has my deepest respect and admiration for the way he handles these young people. While all summer we did indeed work on all kinds of skills a kindergartener would be learning to try and help our daughter be confident in the classroom this year, Master John and Master Mike have definitely helped her find more confidence, a more focused and sustainable attention span, and a much, much more “can do” attitude. I also believe the marked improvement in her overall balance and her ability to keep her weight over her feet is going to have gym teachers and coaches looking at her like she is rather athletic for a 5 year old, and listen, if you see her do a “push-up,” that label of “athletic” might go right out the window, lol (she’s working on it, lol….). Does our daughter ever talk too much in class, touch other students when she should only be using her ears, act as if some invisible force is tickling her during some exercises or drills? Yes, she does. She is 5. Is she the only one in class who does stuff like this? Uh, well, almost, lol…., but still, Shore KB is truly changing her life, right now, right before our eyes.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Staff seems a little more stern than the other brick location, BUT, overall a lot more equipment and space. Very clean too, the other location's bathroom was gross”

“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!”

“Walking into an MMA training center for the first time can feel intimidating, especially as a woman. From day one, I felt welcomed, respected, and encouraged at Nick Catone MMA.

I came looking for a place to challenge myself physically and mentally, but I found so much more. The Jiu-Jitsu program has made me stronger physically and mentally while also teaching me how to better regulate my fight-or-flight response. Every class reminds me that growth comes from showing up, staying consistent, and trusting the process.

The positivity here is contagious. From the staff to the students, everyone has made a meaningful impact on this chapter of my life. The facility is beautiful, exceptionally clean, and professionally run. More than a training center, NCMMA has become a safe haven, a place of growth, confidence, and a true home away from home.”

“Walked in not even knowing I had a membership issue and before I could even panic Rodney and Alexandra were already stepping in to help me out. They were so nice and patient and walked me through everything until it was all sorted out, I never felt like I was being a hassle at all. And honestly this isn’t even a one time thing, every single time I come here the staff makes me feel so welcome and the vibe is just really good. Rodney and Alexandra seriously deserve so much recognition because they went above and beyond and that kind of customer service is honestly hard to find. If you’re looking for a gym where the people actually care, this is the one, 10/10 would recommend!!”
