I visited Manasquan for the first time in several years today and I was shocked at the level of disrepair evident everywhere in the club. The men's locker room was particularly disappointing, and the showers were frankly unsanitary and covered in mold. What was once a lifestyle club with immaculate facilities is now substandard to the $29/month clubs. It's embarrassing to be a member of the Atlantic Club now.

Karen, the trainer in charge, means well but takes it too far--yelling at members and threatening to revoke memberships for working out with friends. The new owner, Genesis, isn't listening. The "new" equipment feels outdated, and the club's vibe is fading fast. The staff is kind--but they're stuck watching the place spiral down. We deserve better.

During adult swim they close the mail pool, kiddie pool, and dive pool to anyone under 21 years old. What are all these kids supposed to do 80-100 minutes a day? It's honestly absurd. The kids pay to be members just as the adults do. It's not right to make them sit out.

I remember being out of the pool when I was a child and it was an opportunity to enjoy other amenities.

Highlands Natural Pool has definitely blown up on social media lately, which is what put it on my…read moreradar. While it's a nice enough spot and the setting is scenic, the pictures floating around don't quite tell the full story. Yes, it's spring-fed and chemical-free, which gives it more of a forest pond feel than a traditional pool. That might be a plus for some people, but there are downsides. The water feels heavier than a normal pool, and there's no true shallow end--so treading water for long stretches can get tiring. If you go, I'd honestly recommend bringing a float to hang out more comfortably in the water. The facilities are basic. There are very few pool chairs--mostly just park benches scattered around a small paved deck. Seating is limited, and it was hard to find a place to set up. I'd recommend bringing your own beach chair if you have one. There are plenty of picnic tables farther back from the pool, which I assume is their way of keeping food out of the swim area. We arrived around 3 PM and that timing was probably my biggest gripe. The parking lot was full, so we had to find a random lot down the road and then walk back and hunt for the entrance. Not the easiest arrival. The $20 day pass would be fine if the setup matched the price, but for what it is, it felt a little steep. Also worth noting--cell service is spotty, and while they say there's Wi-Fi, it didn't work well for us. Overall, it's not a bad experience, but it didn't quite live up to the online buzz. If you go in with the right expectations (and a float, a chair, and some patience), you'll probably enjoy it more than we did.

This is a family orientated gym. Not for the serious/competing lifter. They do not allow you to…read morebring your own equipment, even if you take it back home with you. I'm specifically referring to my 200lb sandbag. I'm allowed to squat 500lbs, deadlift 600lbs, and leg press 800, but 200lbs was too heavy/dangerous!? Go figure. The roof leaked during heavy rain in the recent past, and caused me to slip and get injured. I was offered nothing for my pain/suffering. The staff can sometimes be found sitting on stationary bikes watching tv while the gym needs attention. However, after a few decades I can at least say the equipment is up to date. There are a lot of amenities (basketball court, pool, sauna, indoor track....just to name a few). The gym is clean, and the other gym-goers are friendly. Issues brought to the attention of staff are addressed. 5/5 if you're looking for a family gym, 3/5 for myself and anyone serious about fitness or competing in strength sports. They do offer a military discount, and I value that greatly.

From the main, 10-lane, Olympic-sized competition pool to warm-up lap and training pools, there's a range of programs and facilities for a wide variety of skill levels. We visited recently for the Rebels Meters Mania swim meet, and one of the highlights was the digital scoreboard, which displayed each swimmer's name, lane and heat time. I was also amazed to see the meet livestreamed on the event's YouTube channel, which allowed for distant family members to watch our kids swim. The only downside was the ear-splitting dance music blared at the audience before and sometimes during the meet, which triggered my Apple Watch high-decibel alert. Attending a swim meet shouldn't put one's family at risk of hearing loss. Swim meets are naturally loud events, with concrete and water surfaces exhibiting maximum acoustic reflective properties, so there's little reason to add to that characteristic. Watch from the upstairs viewing rooms or bring ear protection, and consider keeping small children at home, in order to protect from the nightclub-like audio environment.
