The people who work there are so nice! Had a bad experience today. Some guy was hogging up 3 machines. I was like really??? Some people are so self centered! Get off your juice and come back to reality. You don't own the machines douche!

Great gym but hate their billing system. When a late fee is more then your membership something is wrong.

This is my favorite place to burn some calories! It is very clean, the staff is amazing, all machines are always functioning and there is always parking available.

Would rate Zero stars if I could. They essentially scammed and lied. Won't do anything to rectify the situation instead just ask for more money. Don't bother there are better gyms around the area.

No muss no fuss work out and when the payments are due they send you into work out, and handle accounts in the daytime. The hours are good and then enough locations 4 a break in the eventual monotony.

The skinny white girl at the front desk is SO racist and rude . And so is the manager the gym is nice but those two make you not want to go . I’ve called corporate as well as the ceo so hopefully something is done

Great amount of equipment, combining both free weights and machines. They keep up with their maintenance and in great working conditions. Facility is constantly monitored for misplaced weights and locker rooms clean.

Love the people at the gym and the atmosphere, however, there are a couple of points that keep this gym from being the pinnacle of fitness in Jersey City.1. Only 1 squat rack! A serious gym for real lifters that go to train hard always has a minimum of 2-3 power/squat racks. Even a lesser gym like Blink fitness has 2. On top of the 1 squat rack it does not help that they have no rules concerning the exercises that should not be done on it. Many times lifters will go in to do a heavy squat workout and you'll have someone curling baby weight in the rack. A sign politely informing guests that the rack is for main powerlifts only would be nice.6/30/2018. I felt the need to edit this review as most of the issues that I spoke about were addressed within the week after posting it. Raised the rating from 3 to 4 stars. All of the issues were addressed except for the extra power rack which management has said that they will have another one by the end of the summer. Based on how quickly the other issues I mentioned were addressed, I have no doubt in my mind that they will get it done. Unless I move out of the city this will be my gym for life.11/1/2018Still no 2nd squat rack. Which means you have to race everyone like its a black Friday sale to get to it or wait 45 minutes for the guy thats CURLING to finish.😑
