“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 started Jazzercise in the early '80's. When my career took over my evenings and weekends, we had to part our ways. In 2004, when I moved permanently to my summer home,the next day I signed up with Toms River Jazzercise. I never looked back. Always the best workouts, outstanding instructors, current music, friendly customers who enjoy smiling,laughing,and clapping their way through routines. A day without Jazzercise is like a day without sunshine. Put it on your TO DO List! You will not regret it. Remember when you rest, you rust!”

“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!”

“George Sullivan, as an amazing head coach. He is one of the best strikers in the northeast history and had a very successful run in the UFC. He established the best conscious in the area and created an all star MMA coaching staff. Spices beginner friendly and family oriented don’t hesitate to stop in!”

“I began attending the Fit and Tatted Gym last month. The head trainer and owner Ismael is my personal trainer and has helped me achieve significant results in such a short time. Classes at this gym are head and shoulders above other gyms I've attended because everything has been personalized to me. Most importantly the atmosphere is positive and everyone has been very friendly! I’d give this place 10 ⭐️ if i could! Highly recommend!”

“Cancelled my ymca and planet fitness membership on the spot to come over here. Staff are super nice. As long as you avoid birthday parties times, it’s great. Wish the sauna was hotter though.”

“I had a great experience at LA Fitness in Toms River! The gym is clean and well-maintained, which makes every workout enjoyable. The staff has been incredibly friendly and welcoming from day one. As new members, they took the time to answer our questions, make us feel comfortable, and help us get started. It’s clear they care about creating a positive environment for everyone. Highly recommend this location!”

“This was my favorite planet fitness by far. I stayed in Lavalette for the week and was happy there was this gym nearby. The staff was friendly and it wasn't too busy. The equipment I needed was always available. The facility was kept neat and clean.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
