“Stellar local gym. The owner, Gary, is very sweet and really cares about people & his facility. It has all the equipment you'd need and it's never crowded so I've never had to wait in a line for something I've wanted to use. The equipment and decor all share a unified retro aesthetic. Everything is kept extremely clean - I see the owner cleaning basically every night. This all leads to the atmosphere of this gym being very calming, perfect if you favor a quiet relaxing workout experience. Lots of mirrors and high windows letting in natural light. I just can't imagine using a crowded noisy commercial gym after frequenting this place.All the patrons are very friendly. Besides weights, there are cardio machines, a martial arts dojo with classes offered, personal trainers, spin bikes, and more. I've been coming here over a year now and it's become my new happy place.”

“I joined F45 South Edison Feb this year and absolutely love it. I needed a challenging, motivating, group-style workout regimen and a sense of accountability so i show up whether i feel like it or not, and f45 totally provides this. The coaches are super knowledgeable and supportive during the entire workout. Coach Gabe and rly all the coaches are amazing - they stay engaged and give you tips on improving form and technique. I love how it's a different combination of workouts each time. The group atmosphere of like-minded people, detailed coaching, and pump-up music always pushes you to go hard and get better. Really great place.”

The classes are great, the fitness equipment is awesome and the support and motivation is unmatched in comparison to any gym I have ever been to. Larissa in at the front desk is incredible - she care about the members joining, their input, and making sure the membership you get is the best one to help you meet your personal fitness goals! The Muay Thai classes are incredible and I can't wait to get back to it once I heal from my back injury. B52 Muay Thai - Love you, fam!”

“As a women’s health and wellness club at Rutgers, New Brunswick, we’re always looking for workouts that truly challenge us, and CKO absolutely delivers!
From the moment we walk in, the energy is unmatched. Coach Kevin was motivating, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping everyone feel strong and confident. Every workout is different, which keeps things exciting and pushes us out of our comfort zones in the best way possible.
Our members LOVE the burn 🔥It’s the perfect balance of challenging and fun, and the supportive atmosphere makes it easy for everyone—no matter their fitness level—to feel welcome.
CKO has quickly become one of our favorite ways to train together, bond as a club, and prioritize both physical and mental wellness. Highly recommend to any student organization or group looking to level up their fitness game!”

“I’ve been training here for almost 2 years now, and it’s truly been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I had never done CrossFit or lifted weights before joining, so I was definitely a bit nervous at first — but the community here is incredibly welcoming and inclusive, and all the coaches are truly amazing. A special shoutout to Coach Joe, who was so attentive and supportive when everything was new and unfamiliar to me — his guidance really helped me build confidence and improve safely.
The programming is excellent — always challenging but adaptable, and it keeps things interesting. They also offer a running class, which completely transformed my relationship with running. Huge cheer for Coach Nora for helping me fix my form and actually start enjoying running (something I never thought I'd say!)”

“A word to the wise- don't wear a thermal or long sleeves on your first workout back in a while... This was my FIRST ever classpass class, and it was a wonderful workout to get my head back in the game!! Coach Quentin is all smiles even at 9:30AM and such a welcoming presence. All of the regular gym members created such a safe, kind, friendly, and encouraging space- I truly couldn't have had a better experience! If you're feeling intimidated or uncertain about attending class workouts, this is a great way to get started. Coach Quentin was able to patiently guide me through the workouts and even supportive with any modifications that I needed. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning for additional classes :)”

“I vehemently disagree with the sentiment shared below. Everything mentioned is subjective, and thus, should not be taken literally. I have been a member of this gym for ~4 years and have had the opposite feeling. The owners are courteous, caring, and passionate. For example, one time, I needed a specific cable attachment. The next time I came in, it was ordered. I never asked for it, but me mentioning it in passing was taken seriously enough for them to order this item.
Moreover, the badge not working is not a gym system issue. The member likely had a faulty badge. It is his responsibility to approach the owners to ask for a new one. I have entered the gym as late as 2 am and have had no issues. When I forgot my badge, the phone was answered immediately and I was giving step by step instructions to enter.
Finally, this gym is promoted as a warehouse style, hardcore gym. I along with my friends appreciate the hot weather because it allows us to get a better pump/workout, and allows us to build more resilience. The one fan is enormous covering almost 3/4th of the ceilings surface area and provides more than enough ventilation.
Diesel is the best gym i have been to, and has an excellent community - which is due to the passion, hard-work, and love the owners put into it.”
“We use the facility for our employees to workout. Very convenient being 24/7 and having showers. Can be used before going to work or after work. Our employees love the gym and the staff there is very friendly.”
“Such a great gym! Would 100% go here if we lived in the area and will definitely be back for drop ins. Thank you Billy for building a CrossFit gym that is everything CrossFit is supposed to be.”

They’re knowledgeable, supportive, and always know how to push you beyond what you think you’re capable of.
Just as important, the community is incredibly welcoming and encouraging. From the coaches to the members, everyone wants to see you succeed. It’s a great environment to learn, grow, and challenge yourself, no matter your starting point.”

“This place is family. When you question yourself they remind you to stop. It is a place for your goals with encouragement, support, correction, challenge, and purpose. Accept all those things and you’ll fit right in. Never say one day… instead, start with Day ONE. I started with just kickboxing but this place has evolved into a gym that covers more than any other I know. Strength classes, boxing, Animal Flow mobility classes, TRX bands, weights, boxing, and more. It’s a family. Fundraisers are held in the name of many organizations as we work out for various causes. We also promote bonding with members and hang out after workouts. It’s like a second home to me. Try it and don’t question your “why”…. just DECIDE and DO IT. They offer free trial classes. Jump on it. You might like it. All gyms offer different things. This one is about as complete as they get. My family. My safe place… the best. ??”

“CrossFit is for everyone! Stealth is such a welcoming place and I love the attitude that you’re competing against yourself to get better. You can see your strength improve. It’s a wonderful community if you want that too but not required. All workouts can be scaled back to be accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels. The workout is different every day which keeps it fun and exciting.”
“Best for power lifting, fitted with all the machines for your lifts and supplemental machines to help build strength. Hiroshi is a knowledgeable and methodical trainer who will work on maintaining your form, which reduces or eliminates injury while getting you stronger. There are also cardio machines so you get a nice blend of options for your needs. I trained here before, during and after pregnancy and it was a gamechanger for building and increasing strength, maintaining and rebuilding after I gave birth. Definitely recommend.”
“Training with Mike is an absolute game-changer. He doesn’t just coach weightlifters—he develops independent, confident athletes who understand their craft. Mike genuinely cares about each of us as individuals, not just as competitors. He sees our potential before we do, pushes us to believe in ourselves, and gives us the tools to thrive both on and off the platform. He doesn’t just teach technique; he elevates you. He advocates for you. As a full time coach myself, he even promotes you as your own weightlifting professional, empowering you to take ownership of your journey. Under Mike’s guidance, you don’t just get stronger—you become a better athlete, a better thinker, and a better version of yourself.
Truly the best there is in the country.”
