“Everyone is amazing, Julie, Nick, Alec, Emma, Gabby and Jamie have all been super helpful, friendly and always working to keep the weights put away and the gym clean. You have a great crew there that are always in a good mood and that energy is infectious. It makes coming to the gym less painful on the days when you would rather do anything else. Tell them all to keep up the great work!”

“If you’re in the area, definitely stop here. Everyone is so friendly, the coaching is excellent, and classes are structured really nicely. Even if you’re dropping in, you’ll feel like you’re a regular member. I usually drop in to local gyms when I travel, and by far this is the friendliest atmosphere I’ve ever experienced. Whether you’re new to CrossFit or have been doing it for years, they’ll find the perfect scaling options for you and you’ll leave feeling like you had a great workout. And the new facility is amazing. Great coaching, great people, great facility, can’t go wrong stopping in. 5 stars!!”
“I'm so happy to have found SETS! I've been a member since they opened last year and i am so grateful to have found them. All the coaches are great and can accommodate any fitness level. I have recommended a few friends and they love it as well.”

“Fun and challenging programming with a great community of people who aren’t afraid to throw down and sweat and will keep you motivated! If you’re looking for real CrossFit, this is it. I drive 40 mins one way to get to this gym in summer traffic as it’s the best around and it is worth every minute of the commute from LBI.”
“CrossFit ARX
Arx Games – A Fantastic Competition Experience
The ARX Games at CrossFit ARX was an exceptional event, offering a challenging and exhilarating competition. Competing as an individual pushed me to new limits, and the energy throughout the day was contagious. The workouts were thoughtfully designed, testing strength, endurance, and skill in a way that kept things intense yet rewarding.
While I truly value my own box and the coaches I train with every day, their guidance and support have been key to my physical health and well-being at 57. Thanks to them, I’m in the best shape I’ve been in years. That said, I have to acknowledge that this box and the tournament they organized were top-notch. The facility was well-equipped, and the event was incredibly well-run from start to finish. The judging was fair and consistent, which kept things competitive but always supportive.
I highly recommend both this tournament and the box itself to any CrossFit athlete or enthusiast. It’s a place that fosters community, excellence, and passion for the sport. I’m looking forward to seeing how I grow and improve for future competitions!”

I’ve learned so much about proper weight lifting techniques, nutrition, and the importance of working all major muscle groups. His classes are fun, challenging, and effective. This is my 5th year at Spartan and I’ll never go anywhere else!”

“I’ve been going to this gym almost a year and I love it! I definitely am someone who struggles with “gym anxiety” and hate going to very busy gyms. I love that they have an app that shows how many people are at the gym before I go so I can see when it’s less busy, plus it’s 24 hours which works perfect for my crazy work schedule. The staff is always super nice never had an issue and if I ever have a question or problem they’re always helpful.
I also really enjoy my personal trainer sessions with Jack he’s genuinely the best ever – if you’re looking for a trainer I HIGHLY recommend him. He’s been so amazing with helping me figure out how to have proper form when working out with my scoliosis, a good workout plan, diet etc.
He’s definitely very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does.
There’s a lot of variety with machines and weights, always clean, there’s a standing tanning booth and massage bed that are included with the membership.
Literally the only con I can think of is there bathroom door locks are not the best you have to be mindful when exiting that it’s not still locked when I go at night majority of the bathrooms are locked from people not popping it up when they leave. Other than that 10/10”

“Sal’s a great guy, straight to the point. Informed me about everything I needed to know about LA fitness and ensured I got the best plan for me. He dropped what he was doing to help me when I came in early, since I talked to him on the phone and wanted him to help me with the sign up process. I appreciated that.”

“To Whom It May Concern,
I would like to take a moment to recognize and highly recommend Nate from Planet Fitness for his exceptional customer service, professionalism, and genuinely kind personality.
During my visit today, Nate greeted me warmly and said, “Hi, Miss Palito.” I was honestly surprised that he remembered my name, and I mentioned that to him. With a smile, he replied, “I could never forget that smile.” That simple interaction immediately showed the type of person he is — attentive, thoughtful, and naturally uplifting to everyone around him.
What stood out even more was how authentic and engaging he was throughout our conversation. Nate took the time to speak with me about local UFC events and the growing fight scene in New Jersey, sharing his enthusiasm and knowledge in a way that made the conversation enjoyable and memorable. He also went out of his way to recommend local fishing spots and was simply kind, respectful, and welcoming the entire time.
In a world where many customer interactions can feel rushed or impersonal, Nate genuinely makes people feel seen and appreciated. He creates an atmosphere that is positive, friendly, and comfortable, which is exactly the kind of energy that leaves a lasting impression on members and guests alike.
Employees like Nate are incredibly valuable because they represent not only strong work ethic and professionalism, but also the heart and spirit of a business. His ability to connect with people naturally, remember details, and brighten someone’s day is something that cannot be taught easily — it comes from character.
I sincerely hope Nate receives recognition for the positivity and kindness he brings to everyone he encounters. He is an outstanding representative of the Planet Fitness team and clearly someone with a bright future ahead.
With gratitude and appreciation,
Mr Little”

“My wife spent years begging me to go to Force. My only regret is not going sooner! I've never been much of a gym person, but I find myself waking up every morning now eager and excited to go workout. Every single day is a different workout, and the trainers are amazing motivators. You will not be able to come up with a good enough excuse to stay away from this place!”
“Great gym, well maintained and friendly owner. No contracts or any of that garbage. Good equipment, lot of old school pieces that are in great shape and you can’t find anymore. Recommend.”

“Best Crunch I've been to. Staff is constantly cleaning, disinfecting and lubricating the machines. Other Crunch owners should visit the Toms River location and take some notes on how well done of a job the staff maintains the facility. I belong to the Parsippany location and they should def come and take notes.”
“Very helpful and pleasant staff. Facility is old and worn but still functional. Plenty of Weights and weight machines. Few members using facilities when I’ve been there so no waiting. I didn’t use the pool but it looked in great condition.”
“First and foremost, the people at the front desk are outstanding. They are always pleasant and welcoming when you walk in, especially first thing in the morning. It’s nice to be greeted that way to start the day.
A special mention goes to Don. He is there early when the gym opens, always making sure everything is in order. He’s constantly working, checking on things, and keeping the facility running smoothly. On top of that, he is very friendly and always takes the time to say hello and make members feel welcome.”

“Facilities have everything a standard him needs. It is clean and large. One star gets knocked off because of their policy stating that a person must go in person to cancel a membership is annoying. I moved to out of town and couldn't get there right away. I was lucky that I had things to do in the area but if I didn't, I'm not sure when I would have gotten there.”
“I have been a Be Fit NJ member for over two years now and I am so happy here. I have made so many friends and Cheryl is a fantastic trainer. Even during this difficult time during the COVID19 Pandemic she is putting on wonderful online classes. Thank you so much for all you do!”
