Fitness & Gyms near South Amboy, NJ

“Nice gym has 2 pickleball courts in the morning. Plenty of parking and not crowded on weekdays. There is a swimming pool and this location takes nationwide membership”

“Great gym in a convenient spot with nice perks. Most of the people working there are pretty friendly. I find it's best to get there when it isn't too busy and you can check the busy times on Google Maps or PF app.Lynn has great customer service and wonderful to talk to in the mornings. Sad to find out she no longer works there.Black card: A great bargain if you get the black card membership. For this price I got more benefits than when I went to Retro Fitness. One of the main reasons I got the black card is so that I can use the hydromassage. I noticed when I use that right after my workout, I don't get as painfully sore as I used to. The black card may also include tanning, massage chairs, and training.Problems when it's busy: It can start feeling like a bar as some people get a bit rowdy when they are with their friends. People are also more likely to be video recording during this times, and that can feel invasive since I prefer not to be in the background. Unfortunately, it's not against the law or policy to do this. It can also get humid and funky when there's too many sweaty people. This can easily be avoided during quieter times.24-hrs: This used to be 24-hrs when they first opened. Once the pandemic hit, they stopped and never went back. It would be great to have that back but I heard it is too dangerous and isn't enough demand.Cleanliness: They do a pretty great job keeping the gym clean. I like that they have someone working there who specifically cleans. However, I wish they had more touch-free sanitizers like Retro has. Sometimes it feels like they are getting in my personal space when cleaning the floor or vacuuming right next to me.Music: Decent selection and you can use the Rockbot app to queue a song. For some reason the app doesn't work the my Samsung Galaxy but it worked fine with my IPhone. I will check again and see if that's fixed. It would be great if they could interegrate the Rockbot app with the Planet Fitness app.Juice Bar: Nope no juice bar, but they do sell premade Muscle Milk shakes. I usually make my own.”

“I love anytime fitness ! My boyfriend convinced me to join and I have been following my fitness / weight loss journey since then. The gym has a cozy and welcoming feel to it and whenever I walk in, seeing everyone exercise makes me feel excited and ready to get started. They are a really good gym to work with . Highly recommend!!”

“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 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.”

“Crossfit Barbending has really assisted me in reaching my personal fitness goals. The coaches pay attention and greatly support my specific needs. I would say the most important thing about Crossfit Barbending is it has become like family. I've enjoyed my experiences there so much and the gains I have made over the last 7 years, that I introduced the facility to my teenage son. Crossfit Barbending offers specialized training for youth and teens as well .My son now participates in their specialized team training program religiously attending three days a week. We couldn't be more happy with the supports that we receive at Crossfit Barbending.”

“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!!”

“Came to Isabella fitness for a drop in class and was instantly welcomed by coach Ben and fellow members of Isabella. Their facility was organized, clean, and equipped appropriately. It was a great atmosphere to be a part of. I’ll be back soon!!”

“I started at orange theory 1 yr ago and loved it. I started in the Bayonne location but soon switched over to Marlboro. The coaches here are hard core and friendly and push you to do your very best. I have lost well over 100 lbs and recommend everyone try this work out. It’s always different, always fun and away makes you sweat. It’s a complete work out and every time I leave I feel great. I have challenged myself in ways I never dreamed off here and achieved more in one year than my prior 25 yrs or working out. Love this place. Highly recommend.”

“Two thumbs up! The gym is clean and comfortable to train in! The trainers are all very welcoming and so is the rest of the Fit-Spot community! Mike as a personal trainer and business owner attends to his clients with integrity & competence to ensure client safety and satisfaction for maximum results. He makes sure his team lives up to that standard as well. I’m very pleased to have been training with Mike for months now and am looking to becoming a member to avail of the classes very soon!”

With an unwavering focus on my well-being, Nass designed customized workout regimens that seamlessly melded with my fitness level and back issues.Under Nass's expert guidance, I've witnessed a transformative shift in my strength and posture. Their profound understanding of physiology, coupled with their genuine empathy, set them apart. Every session was a blend of challenges and encouragement, pushing me beyond my perceived limits while always prioritizing my safety.Nass's holistic approach extended beyond the gym, as they provided invaluable advice on lifestyle adjustments and preventive measures. Their passion for fostering a pain-free and healthy life was palpable in every interaction.If you're seeking a personal trainer who goes above and beyond to catalyze positive change, Nass is the ultimate choice. With them, you're not just investing in fitness – you're investing in a lifelong transformation that extends far beyond the sessions themselves. Grateful doesn't even begin to cover how I feel about Nass's impact on my life.”

“Orange Theory is my happy hour without the hangover! The workouts are like a party, and the coaches are the hype DJs. Every class feels like a personal victory, and the post-sweat endorphins are the real deal. If you're looking for a fun way to crush fitness goals, this is it! ??”

“Been going to this gym for about 6 months now. I was referred by a friend who has been a member for many years. There’s not one bad thing to say. The front staff is very nice and pleasant to walk into to, even at 5am. The gym is always clean and somome is always wiping down the machines. I haven’t had much sessions with the trainers, but the 10 sessions I did do with them were great. And the price was reasonable also. They do a great job at the gym. Just wanted to say thank you for a pleasant experience. See you guys in a little bit.”

“I’m in the strongest, fastest, and sharpest I’ve ever been thanks to Real Gymm! Over the last two years, Andrea has helped me get into the best mental and physical shape of my life by challenging me week after week! She is a true professional with expert knowledge and an inspiration. Andrea is the kind of trainer who leads by example: She won’t just cheer you on, she will get on the ground and do those last three reps WITH you! Above all, the positive community Don has created at Real Gymm has sustained me throughout my fitness journey and kept me coming back week after week! Thank you Real Gymm!”

“First time ever trying CrossFit yesterday and all I have to say is such a great atmosphere and experience, will definitely be coming back. If anyone was ever scared to do this trust me don’t be it’s exhilarating.”

“I love coming to Orange Theory Richmond. I enjoy doing cardio and strength training ! Coach Dylan and Angela are very helpful. Danielle and Deanna at the front desk are very kind and they always make me feel welcome, them and the coaches I look up to. I’ve lost 30 IBS thanks to this incredible gym !”

“Had my follow up with drThey concluded I had “excellent exercise capacity”It took me 16 minutes to reach 85% (144) of my estimated maximum heart rate (169)Normally a 50 - 60 year old reaches that after 8 to 10 minutes of exercise whereas a 20 - 30 year old reaches it in 14 to 16 minutesThat’s when he said I had the heart of a 21 year old!When I was doing the stress test they asked me if I was a runnerI told them I haven’t run in two years and they were shockedI said I’ve been doing capacity and strength training at SPSThey were like well whatever you’re doing keep doing itThanks Collis you’re adding years to my life!”

“If you are looking for a private gym that is welcoming and encouraging then join Onyx! I joined for training sessions and I’ve loved the experience. Drew is the best trainer I’ve worked with and the only one I’ve seen my desired results with. He is a full service trainer so he will provide a nutrition regimen along with a training regimen. He introduced me to exercises and equipment that used to intimidate me and if I’m not comfortable Drew will modify or replace the exercise. His patience, reassurance and encouragement has kept me progressing towards my weight and fitness goals. He frequently checks in to keep me accountable. I highly recommend this gym and ask for Drew!”

“This is an exceptional local gym. a true gem. everything you need, clean and the owner is on the premise making sure everything is okay. I can’t recommend this place enough”

“I’ve been coming here since March 2022 and can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The facility is super clean. The coaches are as supportive as they are knowledgeable. And the community here is better than any other gym I’ve ever been a part of.”

“Needing a change, a few of my girlfriends and I signed up to do the six week challenge at Demarco's Boxing Gym. I've tried dozens of different types of diets and workouts to try to jumpstart my weight loss and NOTHING has worked for me until this challenge. I wound up going down two dress sizes in the matter of the six weeks and cannot wait until the next challenge begins to continue! The workouts were intense in the best way and I never left there NOT dripping sweat! The support my friends and I received from the trainers, as well as the other challenge members made it a place we look forward to going! Courtney went above and beyond to make sure we had access to her always with questions, concerns or whatever it was we needed from her! Courtney, Nicky, George and Nick ALWAYS pushed us further than we believed we could for ourselves and motivated us from the second we walked in until the very end of each and every class. The group of challenge members became like a small family and I'm not sure there's a single one of us who opted not to sign up to challenge ourselves at Demarcos again! The challenge, the approach and the people involved changed my mentality and viewpoint about fitness, and the nutrition (even though I struggle sometimes) as well as my own limitations. Signing up for the six week challenge was easily the best decision I've made for myself in quite some time!”

“The best out of town CrossFit drop in experience ever! With the best affiliate name! And it was all because of Gino! I am smiling from ear to ear from an awesome workout and untouchable hospitality! In town or out of town this place is where y’all need to be! CrossFit Bacon!!!”

“Such a GREAT place for beginner cheer all the way through advanced levels. The coaches are absolutely wonderful and they treat each athlete like they are their own. If you want to be an all star cheerleader, you can go anywhere. If you want a family while doing something you love, go to CCF.”

“Pat and his workers push you everyday to make you better In 1month of going there I seen a improvement of my body and health pat knows whet he is doing believe me.”

“I just went to my first class today with Myles. Needless to say, I could barely walk afterwards which is an awesome thing! I got pushed to my limits while being encouraged and motivated. Honestly the best workout I’ve ever had - signed right up for the unlimited classes after it was a no brainer! Myles and his team are awesome and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to join a tight knit community of motivated, educated and awesome trainers who respect your limits while still pushing you to your full potential ?”

“I set my alarm to never miss a workout! I was never able to follow a program or be consistent in the gym until I found Relentless. The coaches and fellow members make the atmosphere fun engaging and not intimidating. They have helped me grow stronger in body and mind - the improvement in my mental health and personal confidence has been extraordinary. I finally found my path to total wellness!”
