“So I’d like to give a shout out to my personal trainer, George. I’m going to him for the last few weeks and let me tell you my man gets me motivated and his constantly pushing me to exceed my full potential. Couple years back I almost died with Covid pneumonia and felt weak but working with him. I’ve never felt so good about myself. I’m posting this to make sure that if you’re looking for a personal trainer, you have to go see him and listen to him. You’ll feel great about yourself. Thank you, Blink for having somebody like him on your staff.”

“What an exceptional fitness community here at Crossfit Cedar Grove! A very welcoming and supportive atmosphere from both from the members and the coaching staff, making it easy to feel comfortable (for all levels)
The coaches (Xavier, Michaelle, Alexa, Angela, Sue, and Jake to name a few), are truly outstanding. They are knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping each member achieve their fitness goals. Their ability to scale workouts to fit all fitness levels ensures that everyone, regardless of experience, can participate and see positive results.
If you're looking for a place that offers great coaching, a welcoming atmosphere, and the ability to achieve your fitness goals, I highly recommend Crossfit Cedar Grove!”

“Front desk staff is super nice and friendly, always willing to help out and answer any questions. Fitness Classes and yoga are an extra bonus, rarely see equipment ooo”
“I really love Orangetheory! The coaches are incredibly friendly, motivating, and make every class enjoyable. The front desk staff is always welcoming, and the studio is spotless. There’s also a great sense of teamwork that keeps you accountable—if you skip a class, you definitely feel it!
The only reason I’m taking off one star has nothing to do with this studio—it’s about the corporate-designed workout structure and layout.
The classes are about 50–75% cardio, and the strength sections can feel cramped and a bit disorganized (like doing jump squats right next to someone doing push-ups). The limited space feels tight and sometimes unsafe, and the weights don’t go very heavy. This is especially noticeable with legs were often people are looking to grab 50-60 pounds.
Also, the app asks you to rate the class but doesn’t let you explain what specifically you liked or didn’t like—so it’s hard to give accurate feedback when you might love the treadmill but not the particular weights or rower.
Overall, this studio is amazing with top-notch staff and energy. The lost star is solely due to corporate programming and design, not the incredible local team!”

“Very clean and operational establishment, with a couple slight improvements needed. All equipment here is fully functional at the time of this writing. Also, the 30 minute circuit area still exists in this location, with no signage citing a future equipment replacement, should that fit your interest.
While they were prompt in addressing the toilet paper drought I brought to their attention in the men’s locker room, they should have been more proactive with this instead of hanging out and texting at the front desk.
Additionally, the black card area doesn’t have a door. It’s difficult to relax when hearing weights and other typical gym background noises. The franchise should definitely invest in remediating this, especially since this is not an issue at their other locations within this franchise.”
“I was almost hesitant to rate this gym because selfishly I’d love to keep its awesomeness a secret. The facility is top-notch, with brand-new equipment, a friendly staff, and a community of patrons who treat everyone with respect.”
“Please allow me to say how amazing my trainer Reggie McKinney has transformed me and feeling good about myself. I came to weighing 307lbs in January 2025 to 246lbs present September 2025. If you want motivation and real honesty it gets no better with trainer Reggie McKinney I promise you guys you won’t be disappointed!!! You’ll see guaranteed results”

“Fast Twitch is the perfect facility.. It has great trainers and programs to get your body right and the gym has a great vibe for student athletes. I have 3 boys who play baseball and they enjoy it. Fast Twitch's pricing is also very reasonable.”
“Are you serious about powerlifting? Look no further than this hidden gem—the ultimate haven for strength enthusiasts. The equipment here transcends what you’d find in a typical commercial gym. It’s like comparing night and day. Everything is meticulously designed and, dare I say, tight. Forget the notion that a barbell is just a barbell or that a 45-pound plate is merely a 45-pound plate. This place defies those assumptions.As we age, injury prevention becomes paramount. To ensure I wasn’t compromising my squats, bench presses, and deadlifts, I booked a 2-hour technique session with Jason. Worth every penny! My high bar squat was decent, but I craved better posterior chain development through low bar squats. Jason’s personalized tweaks transformed my form from “okay” to rock-solid.Now, let’s talk bench press. It’s always been my Achilles’ heel, but Jason—a bench press monster—guided me through drills that revolutionized my approach. After just 30 minutes, I was lifting more efficiently, engaging additional stabilizing muscles, and driving the bar with newfound confidence.Surprisingly, my deadlift form needed the most work. Despite countless YouTube tutorials, nothing compared to hands-on coaching. Jason helped me recruit the right muscles, optimize leverages, and—most importantly—lift heavier weights safely.My only regret? Not seeking this guidance sooner. I eagerly await the day when I can join this gym and take my training to the next level.”

“I’ve been to a few different Orangetheory locations, but nothing compares to the environment at Orangetheory Totowa. The energy here is unmatched! While every coach is phenomenal, Cy, Kevin and Risa truly stand out in the best way possible. They push you, encourage you, and make every class feel like you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
I hear people hesitate because they think it’s “too expensive,” but there should never be a price on your health. This is an investment in yourself, your body, your mind, your confidence. We spend money without a second thought on nights out or drinks… why not invest in something that will truly change your life? Joining OTF Totowa has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. If you were looking for a sign, consider this it.”

“My fav OTF location in the country! Incredible coaches and a great community of regular members. Love going every week and definitely feel the improvement in my fitness level.”
“I transitioned to OTF Wayne from my previous gym a few months ago - I needed a more affordable, more rigorous program. Needless to say, the rigor was not too much to ask of OTF. I was intimidated at first but have come to deeply enjoy this gym. I've been a "light" runner for 20 years, but never truly enjoyed the process...until now. The OTF program and the Wayne coaches are encouraging, fun, genuine and incredibly upbeat. Not only do I enjoy running now, but I've experienced gains in my pace and my endurance that I have not experienced (as a runner) since I was much younger. This place is excellent, and I'm grateful that I tried something new. 10/10 recommend.”
“The gym is filled with incredibly supportive and helpful people that are invested in making sure you succeed in your fitness journey. Its a great environment all around.”
“My new favorite reformer/treadmill class! I've been to other reformer classes but it always felt too fast or overwhelming for me. The full body movements on the reformer at mega are relatively easy to pick up and the instructors are really helpful. Also i hate running but mega makes it fun with the interval speeds!”

“Rise is the first time I have been consistent at a studio. The coaches are great and very thorough. They keep the studio very clean and the music is the best. I get very excited to go to each class.”
“This is a good gym and the staff is friendly and helpful. I do want to suggest exchanging some of the many ellipticals ---so many seem unnecessary and there are plenty empty all the time--- with a couple of Incline Hack Squat Machines and Decline Chest Press Machines. I've seen both at other PF around here but this is my preferred location.
Thanks for reading and considering these options.
