Fitness & Gyms near Cranford, NJ

“I have trained and worked with Justin Haggerty since 2006 back at Bally Total Fitness. Very knowledgeable. A person that will keep you accountable and push you to the next level. I recommend this gentleman to you, a trainer and friend ? Thank you Justin ?”

“This is the best gym I’ve been to. From the employees to the other patrons. The amenities are plentiful, the rules are followed and the place is clean. The weights are never out of place because the people respect the gym and their experience. There’s no random fees every couple months so there’s no surprise charges. Even the teenagers there don’t crowd machines or spend their time making videos flexing in the mirrors (they have a room for that). They also have EVERYTHING you need and some things that you didn’t know you did. Two tufts, saunas, tanning beds, and batting cages. This is the best place to lift.”

“Golden Phoenix Grit has a family atmosphere, challenging workouts that change daily, a top notch owner and coaches that motivate you to be your personal best, and it is truly my home away from home. If you are not self motivated, the members are always there to offer support or give you that little push you need to make it to the next level. We are in this together. Come and get healthy with me. 5 days for $5. You won’t regret it.”

“I like working with Ben who's my trainer, he encourages you to push though to meet your goaIs. Once you know the secret and follow the plan, you will know it was worth signing up with Secret Formula Fitness. It's definitely worth the investment!”

“Before joining Gabriele Fitness, I hadn’t been a member of a gym since before the pandemic. I realized a while ago that typical fitness or gym culture wasn’t a good fit for me, and at-home workouts weren't working for me either. While I like being active, this last year had me feeling in a bit of a rut. I craved feeling stronger and challenging myself and my body in new ways and I knew I was going to have a hard time getting there without some form of motivation. After carefully considering lots of different options, I finally signed up for the 50 Strong Challenge with GFP and I’m so glad that I did. My results were both amazing and motivating! Here are a few of the things I love most about my experiences with GFP:It’s such a welcoming space. There is no toxic fitness culture vibe at all. My experience with the trainers Mike, Matt, & Chris and the other members have been so welcoming, encouraging, and supportive. They will work with you and your capabilities, offering endless modifications to make sure you can safely engage with the exercise, while also challenging you to reach your potential.I really enjoy the small group format. One of my initial reservations about group training after being out of the loop was not being able to keep up. But that’s not an issue at all. I’ve never felt rushed even if my pace was slower than those around me. For me there’s just a different energy when working out in a group as opposed to doing it solo. The groups are also small enough so that everyone still benefits from lots of individual attention from the trainer. It’s the best of both worlds.There is so much variety in the trainings and you’ll never do the same workout twice! I really love this aspect of the experience. I’m so glad to be part of this community.”

“Veracity has it all. A great facility with ample equipment, dedicated coaches who will make sure you are getting a safe and solid workout, and a really special community. Having moved to the area a little over a year ago and joining Veracity in that first week, many of my local friends are people I've met at the gym. It's a very welcoming and supportive group where everybody cheers each other on and celebrates milestones whether gym-related or otherwise. Crossfit gets a bad rap as being intense or intimidating and you can make an intense workout if you want but the reality is Veracity has every age from teens to grandparents, all body types, abilities, etc. Coaches are knowledgable on how to modify and tailor every workout to your abilities and your goals so even though the general workout stimulus might be the same, each movement and the level of difficulty can be personalized. There's really something for everybody here, and that's one of the many reasons it is the best gym in Summit.”

“After dropping in at a few other boxes in other states, Canada and China, I have to say that you just gotta appreciate the best coaches here at arrival. Instead of throwing everyone over there and just do it, we work on the form every single class, coaches (and I mean every single one of them) at arrival care a lot about legitmately coaching, are very personable and lovely. I know all those crossfits got 5 stars too, that is because their members haven't tried the best crossfit box (a.k.a. arrival fit) yet.”

“I've been to several CrossFit Gyms all over the nation, and this one is a winner! The top wins for me were their easy to follow sign-up system/ class reservations & the friendliness of the staff and members.It's obvious that the members consider themselves a family, they are genuine, encouraging, and hold one another accountable.I highly recommend this gym to people who are committed to their health and want a fun atmosphere to work out with people of like-minds.Bonus: I especially loved the diversity of the members!”

“When I stopped participating in sports after high school I had a hard time finding a gym I enjoyed going to. My friend introduced me to Matt and the rest of the Annex team and I loved it immediately. Matt creates workouts that push me and make me excited to go back everyday. He's the best and I couldn't recommend the Annex enough!”

“Awesome awesome awesomeGreat workout, always tough but always scalable … highly recommended to all who want to improve fitness & body composition.Very supportive & friendly - talk to your coach!!!The variety of movements helped me rehab a hip issue. Variety of ages of folks (I’m 50) , variety of scale movements — can’t beat 908.”

“I have a goal to be in the best shape of my life. I knew I needed to be challenged to achieve that goal. The Max Challenge New Providence hasn’t let me down yet. I feel myself getting stronger and having more energy. I’m excited for what the future holds!”

“Idk how long this location has been here, but it’s IMMACULATE! Super clean, all the weights/ equipment where they belong & they even had small sweat towels (we don’t get those in NY anymore). Bathrooms/ shower also very clean. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I’ve been coming here for a little over a year and it has become my home gym. I’ve been lifting for 4-5 years now and I’ve been to so many gyms but this is by far my most favorite. This gym is great for social/non social people & they have great machine that you won’t find at commercial gyms. Personally I enjoy working out and looking up at all of the pictures/paintings of the pros they have on the wall; it’s a reminder to go harder. Overall the best gym in the area for sure.”

“I don't leave many reviews, but CrossFit Stealth deserves one!! I've been coming here for just over a year now but I love it. I've really never consistently worked out in my life, especially not at this level. It's always been way out of my comfort zone. I finally decided to make a change and tryCrossFit and I'm so happy that I have. Thiscommunity is incredible. I feel so muchsupport and genuine love. It makes a world of difference having such great coaches and a great team when you're getting out of your comfort zone. If you're trying to decide if you should do it.. definitely do it!!! worth every penny!!!Price is so reasonable!!!!! The best CrossFit in New Jersey!!!!”

“I’ve been working with Dave at Two Wolves for nearly two years. My strength, endurance and overall fitness level have increased substantially since joining. Small group training is offered, as close to personal training as you can get, but with a reasonable monthly membership cost. Workouts are varied and effective. All members are friendly and encouraging.”

“F45 training has become an essential part of my fitness journey, and I absolutely love it. The supportive environment is filled with sweet individuals who motivate each other, creating a positive and empowering atmosphere!”

“I loveeeee this place. Everyone in there motivates you. Great atmosphere to start you journey. My mom and I have come a long journey, we are only getting stronger...”

“GameChanger has been life changing for me. I’ve always been on top of my health and weight but I noticed I didn’t have the strength and energy I desired as I’m now in my mid-40s. I went to GC in Madison to maintain my health but I am getting much more out of it and have been a member for almost a year. I appreciate the small group environment and the positive attitude of the coaches. Each workout is customized to my skillset and needs while pushing on me to work harder.I spend all day at my desk on a computer but notice I have fewer injuries when I am active because my body is conditioned more holistically with the GC training. Also, I’m the type to get bored if I do the same workout routine so I appreciate the variety of exercises each session. I’m so thankful I joined!”

“By far the best gym & staff around! Very professional & clean! It’s like having your own personal trainer. Coaches are aware of your strengths and weaknesses! Challenges are available & coaches will coach you to achieve your fitness goals! We consider each other family!!”

“Where do I start? I absolutely enjoyed my pt session with Kev. Very patience, knowledgeable and fun!! He made me enjoyed working out and looking forward to our next sessions!! Wizfit team 10/10”

“Came to NJ to visit family and I’m in currently in comp prep. I needed a place I could go to workout and I found Adelante. Staff was extremely professional, facility is very clean, organized and has everything someone would need. Members were also very respectful and made you feel at home. Highly recommend anyone that’s out of state visiting or even instate looking to get into powerlifting or working out to visit. I’ll see them again next time I’m in town. Thank you for the hospitality.”

“The best gym on the island! Awesome coaches that are knowledgeable, respectful and push you to your limits. Great community of people that are fun, supportive and make you feel welcomed. There is always something eventful going on so you will never be bored. Time schedules are reasonable and the workouts never get boring. I definitely recommend this gym!”

“I dropped in at 908 athletics for the month and really enjoyed myself. They provide the perfect combination of cardio and Olympic weightlifting within their programming. Their coaches are thorough and the membership is super friendly. I will definitely drop in again when I’m back in town.”

“I have not been going long but so far it has been a great experience. Friendly supportive atmosphere. The studio is clean and inviting. Coaches are very friendly and encouraging.”

“Great boutique fitness studio that focuses on small classes and private training sessions. Working out here has helped me improve my mobility and strength. Maria's nutrition guide has also helped me lose weight and maintain a healthy diet.”

“Hands down, best choice I’ve made . VERY friendly team who make me actually want to go train. Is hard to find a gym like this. Owner very nice guy. I look forward to walking through the doors and always feel amazing when I leave. I’ll never leave this gym for anything!!”

“This is the best workout! The coaches are so motivating to get you to push yourself to the limit! There is a good mix of cardio and resistance sessions, and enough class times to fit in any schedule. They are also very welcoming to many different fitness levels. It was very easy to get started as someone with no athletic abilities.”

“I just started at Studio 509 about a month ago, and it has truly been the biggest highlight of this year. I have absolutely no dance experience so I was naturally a little (okay, very) intimidated to start, but the community -(the other dancers and studio owners) at Studio 509 is so unbelievably supportive and encouraging--they make it easy to be okay with making mistakes and embracing the learning process. I especially love Dance Fusion and the challenge of learning beautiful routines, and Guada is just an absolute incredible instructor. All the studio members I've talked to said they've been attending for years, and I totally get it. I immediately bought a permanent membership after my 3 week trial :) And finally, it's been so, so, so inspiring watching so many talented dancers. Honestly that's also one of my favorite parts and is great encouragement to keep trying. If you're questioning attending this studio, just do it. The improvement it's had on my mental health and feeling of a sense of community has grown exponentially since attending.”

“CrossFit Treehouse has everything I am looking for in a gym; great coaching, quality equipment, very clean, holistic programming, and a friendly, supportive atmosphere.The workouts always push me and have overall elevated my fitness to the next level. I came in looking for a gym to help me build strength and here I’ve not only found that but also a supportive community of coaches and athletes who encourage and build each other up. The coaching is exceptional; each coach I’ve had brings energy, explains the workouts well, and cares to walkthrough and correct technique to prevent me from injury.If you’re looking for a place to grow in fitness and improve technique no matter what level you’re currently at, I can strongly recommend this gym for you.Quick shoutouts to Xavier, my first coach who brings so much energy to each workout and Angelo G. for inspiring me to try this out. ?”

“Orange Theory is the only workout I have consistently attended since high school sports. Even when I have fallen off the habit train, I then have been able to get back into it thanks to the community of people around the studio and also; there's so much juicy workout data and i want to keep making that data grow! it's incredibly motivating to see the stats build over time; almost like how we look at stats of sports players in fantasy football except it's you, it's real life. it's you getting better, stronger, faster, harder. I can't recommend it enough. my wife just joined and did her second class and now we have another hobby we can do together and keep ourselves even more accountable, and loose weight, get into shape or hikes and ski trips, and get stamina for ... other parts of married life too. Try it, you won't regret it.”
