Serious old school workout experience. Whether you're a body builder, power lifter or just someone trying to stay in shape this gym will have what you need. read more

I used the $15 day pass whenever I was in the area. Pretty small but has everything you might want / need. The only shortcomings are: -No dedicated stretching / calisthenics area -The machines are close to each other and not a lot of room in the gym itself. During rush hours I imagine that you can't walk around easily -$15 is a tad bit expensive in my opinion for what you get Other than that, nothing to really complain about. read more

This is my second home. Almost every review here is factual and accurate. I will agree that the equipment is aging but if that fool below thinks retro is "clean" just because the equipment looks newer and that this place is a wannabe strongman gym, thereafter giving you retro as a fallback, he must've dropped a couple of stones on his head . The staff are some of the best people I've met in a gym. I couldn't be happier throughout my day than the moment I set foot in here. If you clean your weights, respect the equipment and FFS DONT DO OLY LIFTS, you will enjoy everything Apollon has to offer. read more

Apollon - A Real Gym For Real People! SEVEN reasons why I workout at Apollon: 1. A no-nonsense gym - it has everything you need, and nothing you don't. 2. Hardcore equipment - great place for weight training. 3. Amazing trainers who are there to support you and not just put money in their pockets. 4. Friendly atmosphere - everyone knows your name. 5. The staff here is extremely DOWN-TO-EARTH. 6. The Protein Bar - ISOLYZE protein available over here. I love the vanilla ice cream flavor, add half a banana to that, some strawberries, peanut butter, oh and water - TASTY! 7. I only pay $18.95 plus tax for all the above! ***Price excludes protein shakes, but you're welcome to get one for only $5 and don't forget that punch card! I agree, it does get cramped in here, space is tight, some of the cardio machines need to be replaced, and you will find your frequent gym junkies in here. However, this gym is different; it has a vintage feel to it! And honestly which other gym do you know of with pictures hand signed by top notch IFBB pro's and world class athletes lined across the entire wall?!?! The setup is awesome, it's like you're working out in a garage, and when the weather gets nice they open up the side panes. I almost want to call it a "dive gym" if there's such a thing, lol! Overall, Apollon is a practical gym, so if you're one of those people who go to the gym looking for attention or to be surrounded by hot sweaty men/women, then you need to go elsewhere! But, if you're NOT one of those people and you're looking for a SERIOUS workout without the bs then you need to give Apollon a chance... Hey, the first week is FREE, so go check it out, you won't be let down! read more

Great Mecca of edison, great facility with wide range of equipment, knowledgeable staff and great access to some top tier supplements. Highly recommend without a doubt read more

I was traveling through. Respectable gym, older equipment but lots of it. Staff is super nice and welcoming. This is a lifting gym, not much floor space or cardio equipment but that's just what I was looking for. read more

I am and will forever be a loyal customer of Apollon gym. Doesn't matter your age, gender, or demographic. If you want to show up and work then this is the gym for you! I've been coming here for a year now and couldn't be happier. I walked in off the street wanting to learn how to lift and my trainer Terrance turned me completely around and made me a competent and confident lifter. When he isn't with me the staff or even other people in the gym are happy to jump in and help out with technique or tips if I need. Everyone has been nothing but encouraging and supportive of me. It really is like family there. They have serious equipment for people that seriously want to train. There's a women's and a men's locker room with showers that are kept clean. I love that they have tires to flip and the protein shakes are good after slaying your workout. My only cons are the hours. They're open till 11pm M-T which is great for me but I wish they were open a little later on Fridays and the weekends. My work hours are really weird though and it's not a commercial gym (nor do I want it to be) so it's understandable. I also kind of wish they'd put on more events just to get more people interacting and involved. A deadlift competition or something would be pretty cool. I've seen them have Q&As with major athletes though and plan to attend the next one. With that being said the pro's far outweigh the cons and I personally can't imagine going anywhere else. If you're looking for a serious gym with energy you can feed off of I suggest you check it out. read more

I order their products all the time. Me personally best product on market. During the 25% sale they shorted me one of my 4 items. Let me tell you I called the lady answered I explained to her. She didn't even hesitate or say let me check our records. Without a breath she took my account info and told me they will send what I said missing. No hassle it was here 2 days later. Their customer service and appreciation for consumers using their product is insanely awesome. I highly recommend. They treat you like a family member their. I will always be purchasing their products. read more

I was training at a Rutgers (college) gym and they closed for two weeks. I wanted to try out local gyms in the area. I tried out a bunch and the last one I test drove was apollon. I immediately fell in love. The place is amazing. As a smaller woman who lifts weights, going to commercial gyms usually gets you stares and uncomfortable comments. Apollon is completely different. Never have I felt uncomfortable in any way! The staff is super friendly and helpful. The other patrons are nice and always willing to help out if needed. After being at Apollon for one week, I couldn't go back to a college gym. I bought a year long membership (a great price too!) I have to say Apollon was so good for me that I gave up my free college gym for one that I pay to go. The weights are always re-racked and put away. The gym is always kept clean. The shakes are delicious! They staff is amazing. The clients range from powerlifters, body builders, moms, teenagers, and dads. The range is huge. Everyone is super nice. Recently I went on vacation and had to work out at a different gym, all I have to say, it was no Apollon. Apollon has become a sort of family for me. It is an amazing place. If you are looking for a health club, with a spa, a pool, and all of those amenities, this is not the place for you. But if you are looking for somewhere you can lift weights, do some cardio, and be around people with similar goals, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!!! read more

I've only been here twice on a guest pass and I think this place is great! Staff have been super friendly and helpful, even letting me know that they have power bars that are kept in a separate area that I could use for squats and deadlifts! For the size of the gym, it is very well stocked, having everything from cardio equipment to power racks and a monolift to strongman equipment. My only complaint really is about space for deadlifting. There are no deadlift platforms so you either are left deadlifting in a power rack or in the middle of the floor having people walk by you while you deadlift, which can really be risky during heavy sets. But other than that, I think it's an awesome gym with great old school vibes/atmosphere! read more

I've been working out for 15 years. Born in Europe I competed in amateur bodybuilding as a teenager and had a chance to compare many gyms from different countries. I must say that hard core gym Apollon in Edison, NJ is the most unique place I've ever been to. Surrounded by competitors and heavylifters but also with people who simply enjoy to work out, back to basic iron weights and advanced machines creates a strong motivation and bound. I appreciate to have the opportunity to cooperate with one of the best trainers and top nutritional advisors. I'm sure that many Apollon visitors will feel delighted and leaving with smile and satisfaction. Apollon is the real deal, the real iron world! read more

Simply the BEST HARDCORE GYM in central Jersey. What's more exciting is Apollon Nutrition. An unbelievable pure protein with all "real" ingredients absolutely nothing artificial. Stop by the gym and try it ~ you'll probably leave with a couple 5lbs bottles. read more

Apollon Gym - Apollon Nutrition Protein ~ the "real" deal! - Gyms Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

The best gym I've ever had. Apollon Gym's trainers and staff here are extremely helpful and kind. They have unique and the best equipment around: a monolift, fat bar, and strongman equipment. All sorts of people train here, from those who squat 700+ to those who are just starting out in fitness. Honestly a great place no matter where you are on you're journey of fitness. read more

This is a great gym for serious lifters. While the whole look is not for everybody (really old school hardcore bodybuilding/powerlifting gym), everyone there from the staff to the members are extremely down to earth and nice. They will help you out any chance they get and if you're in the middle of a tough set, they will cheer you on and help you finish that set. The gym is a little cramped, and I wish there was a deadlift platform, but they more than make up for it by having a lot of specialty bars, a competition bench, 5 squat racks (one of them being a monolift), GHR and a reverse hyper. Really great environment for anyone, as long as you come in with an open mindset and wanna put in hard work. read more

An actual gym where lifters go to lift. I lifted in my garage for awhile but chose to switch to Apollon to be around athletes bigger and stronger than me and it's done wonders for my training and my training knowledge. The attitude of the gym itself promotes hard work and though everyone is on different strength levels, from 900 squats to 95 pound squats, as long as you exhibit any type of work ethic mostly everyone is willing to help one another. It can seem scary at first but I promise if you stick around you'll get more bang for your buck than any other gym around. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

I absolutely love this gym. 2 years strong there and I don't want to train anywhere else. It's a hardcore gym but the staff members are extremely friendly and knowledgable. All of the equipment is organized and there's plenty of it. Want more? Not only do they host powerlifting and arm-wrestling events but they also have a nutrition center and Apollon Fight Club. read more

place is a dump in the factor its a wanna be strong man gyms don't bother w/ this place better off going to retro w/ cheaper generic machines that are clean with standard locker rooms { place only looks nice on the outside but once you step inside forget it its filth... feels like you need a really clean shower to was away all those diseases read more

Whether you like this place depends on what type of training you like. If you want yoga or spin classes, then this place isn't for you. It's also kind of small and could be cleaner. But, if you want to do powerlifting or bodybuilding stuff then you will probably like this place. This is I guess what's called a "black iron" gym. That's the type of gym I wanted and this place fits the bill. read more
