Expensive but worth the price. It's difficult to find fault with the workout experience here. The staff smile and look like they actually want to be at work here. Patrons are cool too with no over the top antics while lifting/working out. Best in the JC and probably beats a few high end Manhattan gyms too. read more

Clean, great variety of equipment, everyone is friendly and respectful. Awesome cafe next door for post-workout treats.

Best gym in Jersey City! Massive gym with every machine possible, clean space, 2 floors, huge locker room with sauna, and also amazing classes offered! I wish they had more morning classes but it seems like most people in jersey city comes to the gym after work so that's when most classes are offered. Recommend this gym if you're looking for one nearby! read more

1 person staffed to serve food and 3 to just greet people. Stupid management decision in staffing and to top it off they melted my to-go box. Plus gave me attitude when I pointed it out. Jerks. read more

Base - Thanks for melting the box into the food. - Gyms Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I've been to base (formerly known as club h) for almost 6 years. Facilities are great. They have extensive equipments and several facilities such as sauna, steam, spin, yoga, game room. They also have classes throughout the day, which are useful for those who needs the extra push from instructors. Locker rooms have been renovated recently and equipped with its own locks. This is definitely a plus as I don't need to bother bringing my own lock. Gym fee is not really cheap but you are getting other benefits. Most recently, the gym stepped up its game by organizing several events such as treating members with free BBQ, food from local restaurants and pool party. I don't believe other gyms bother to splurge these much to their members. One way to get a good deal is to live in 50 or 70 Columbus as the amenity fee includes free Base membership. read more

I've been going to Base for a few months now, so it's time for a review update! LOVE IT HERE. Committing to something for one year can always be little scary, but I have no regrets about getting a membership. The best part about Base are the classes - sculpt with Susan and burn with Kara are my jam. I've been consistently taking these classes for the past 10 months and have noticed serious differences, especially in the muscle definition in my arms and legs. They each teach these classes 3 times a week so it's not tough to work into your schedule which is great! I'm lucky and can take classes during the day (work from home life, whatsuppp) - the evening classes do fill up much quicker, which is expected. Base constantly updates their schedule which is great. It's nice to know that the schedule won't be the exact same month after month. Although I've been sticking to the same classes there are other classes that I'd like to try more (abs, spin, cardio barre). Love all of the options! Although a membership is a little pricy (100 a month), Base is more than worth it. The facility is extremely spacious and clean, the staff is accommodating and friendly and they have great classes. A trendy HITT / boot camp style / spin class in NYC will run you 40 dollars per sesh (cough soul cycle cough) - so if you take a few classes per month you are absolutely getting your moneys worth. Love base, and I think if I ever had to move away I'd have separation anxiety. So glad I found this gym! read more

I've been a Base member since I moved to Jersey City (4 years) and I've never considered another gym since. Pre-pandemic, I had a morning routine waking up at 6am to workout, shower and get ready for work before hitting the Path. They have great amenities to make it easy to get ready for work plus a steam/sauna room. All of the machines are new and squat racks can get busy but you just have to find the right time to go. Also Base has the best smoothies in Jersey City! read more

I have been a member at base for 3 years. It is the best gym I have belonged to. The environment is fun, staff is great and it is CLEAN! Thank you Kara for kicking my butt in spin and abs every Wednesday and for always being so upbeat when I run into you. Thank you Dom for making me kick the Monday blues in Spin. Thanks Monica for being a great coach. I wish there were more classes that fit into my schedule to take with you. As long as I am in Jersey City this gym will be my home. Only complaint. Fix the wifi, please. It is awful ;) read more

I got passes through Yelp for a four day weekend trial for myself and a friend. Unfortunately, we were only able to go one day but even the one day we went was great! We went early on a Sunday to make the 9:30 class of Sweat and Surrender, 75 minute class with 40 minutes of spin and 35 minutes of yoga. When we got to the gym, we were greeted immediately and filled out forms with personal information. The woman behind the desk pointed out where the class and locker rooms are, but didn't give us a full tour. Maybe because they know we are there on a trial or since it was a Sunday, they don't invest in a full tour, but that would have been nice to offer. All other gyms I've been to give the walk through and spiel with amenities. Once we filled out our forms, we inquires about the class and luckily there were 2 spots left! The class itself was great! The instructor has great energy and song choices. Whenever I do spin, the music selection definitely helps me workout harder! The yoga afterwards has great stretches and I felt totally at ease. This is a great class to get your heart pounding but then relaxing afterwards. The gym itself is gorgeous. Locker rooms come with lemon water, sauna, steam rooms, and aveda products in the bathroom! There are towels everywhere and it was very clean. I'm sorry I wasn't able to try the machines, but for a Sunday morning, the gym was decently crowded but still had treadmills available. I would come back for another trial or if my wallet allowed me this gym membership LOL read more

Just joined here and I'm so glad I did. The facility is beautiful and they offer free parking for up to two hours as long as you get your ticket validated on the way out. The facility is clean and they are always updating different equipment and amenities. May be a bit pricey but you get what you pay for in this instance. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a more upscale gym with a ton of amenities! read more

I have been a member at Base for more than three years now, my review is overdue! I absolutely love being a member at Base. The facilities are modern and clean, the classes are phenomenal, and the staff is always warm and welcoming. Erin Loizides, the Director of Happiness at Base, assisted me when I first joined the gym. She has always been available to answer any questions that I have, and always with a smile! Whenever I see her, Erin makes it a point to say hello, calls me by my first name (I like the personal touch) and makes me feel at home. As a gym member, I am very pleased with the exceptional level of customer service that she provides. Please make sure to read Erin's Blog of Happiness, I am inspired whenever I read a new posting from her. Kudos to the owner/management for hiring such a stellar employee. read more

I have been going to base gym from 9 months now and it is definitely the best gym in the neighborhood with lot of facilities. The gym itself is huge and has a lot of equipments and personal exercise spaces. They also have a steam room and a sauna room in the facility and base body spa. You can get free spa massages based on your membership or they constantly keep having promotions for spa massages which is a sweet deal! There are lot if classes everyday which you can choose from and the trainers are pretty nice and helpful. Some of my favorite trainers are Jessica, Cait and Kevin. Kevin's spin classes are awesome and he makes you push yourself and seems to be genuinely interested in your exercise. I dont believe I have done as many burpees in my life as I do in Jessica's shred class!!! I had Cait as my personal trainer from some time and shes the best. Shes always so energetic and sweet and in-tune with my fitness. Just made me keep pushing myself to get better and exercise more. I just removed one star as I find the training sessions very expensive and hoping they have more promotions on that. Another minor complaint is that restrooms can be cleaner as they smell at times. read more

This review is specifically about the massage services. Francesca is an amazing massage therapist. She takes the time to understand your specific needs and helps to get those knots out. She uses the perfect amount of pressure and will personalize your massage based off of the issues you are facing that day. Her services don't stop at the massage. Afterward she will recommend things like foam rollers or specific pillows to help with issues you are facing. I am a returning customer and will continue to be! read more

If I could explain the feeling I get when walk in this place, the only thing I can compare it to would be my own "Cheers" I've been a member for 5 plus years here. I won't ever go anywhere else. Neither should you. read more

They changed the locker rooms this morning on the pretext of renovations of the women's room. The women's rooms are much nicer and cleaner than the men's rooms! Also, they subjected the male patrons to heavy construction noise (see photos) early in the morning! This will be going on for a week with no steam room for men during that time! They should either renovations off hours or vacation days. Inconveniencing male patrons is ridiculous! read more

Joined here about 6 months ago. Yes they have every piece of equipment for any type of workout. But as someone who works out at 6am and showers almost daily at the facility, the locker rooms & showers are absolutely disgusting. Cracked tiles, dirty stalls, wood slatted floors in the shower which are black with mold. Hair and filth in the corner of the showers which CLEARLY haven't been cleaned in days. As someone paying $130 a month, I'd expect more. Equinox prices without the true feel of a quality clean gym. read more

I ended up cancelling my membership at Base when I moved to a nearby building with a nice gym back in 2016. It was nothing against Base, it was just difficult to justify spending so much on a gym membership every month when I was paying a crazy amenity fee to use the one in my building. Anyway, I recently moved to 70 Columbus so I am SOOOO happy to have a Base membership again! Ecstatic! Now I have membership to the two best gyms in Jersey City!!! What I love about Base is the variety of equipment - there's pretty much every machine you would ever need to get the workout you want. And for those of you training for obstacle course races, they have staggered monkey bars which has been pretty awesome to practice on :) I'm also looking forward to taking some of the classes they offer. Base Beast and Fight Night are on my list! The staff is great - super friendly and even the general atmosphere at the gym is nice. I feel like it's a pretty chill environment, no judgement. All I can say is this has been one of the best parts about moving to 70 Columbus :) read more

Great Gym /Great Staff /TOP of the line Trainers Very welcoming and its a gem in downtown Jersey city for all who dare

This gym actually made me turn into a "gym person"! I have always been an "at home" workout person in the past because gyms always seemed intimidating, and never felt like it was a comfortable place for me. Base gym changed all that for me. I now love going to the gym and actually look forward to it! The gym is very clean and bright with so much natural light. All of the classes are fun and give you a great workout! I love all of the class instructors and personal trainers! Cait is my trainer. She is an amazing personal trainer and so knowledgeable! She has taught me so much, and has really been helping me achieve my fitness goals! There are so many options at this gym - with all the classes, trainers, and equipment, you can't get bored with your fitness routine! read more

Love love love this place . There's absolutely a lot to love about this Gym, I have been coming to this gym since years now. Awesome, smiling and very motivating trainers, all sort of group classes, huge changing rooms & shower area, towels provided, sauna & steam room, juice bar & a cafe. Spa services are available. Kara, Ashley, Susan, Cait, Odris, Kelley, Jeanine, Monica, Jill are outstanding Trainers. They make you work hard and give your 100% with a lot of fun combined . Kara made me do 100 squats on my birthday. Susan makes you go an extra mile when you least expect it. Ashley gives so many useful advises during the work out sessions. They always have a great energy and helps you reach your goal. I wish they had a pool, that would make it a perfect package keeping their membership fees in mind. read more

Base is the best gym in the city. Large space, great employees and amazing trainers. Staff constantly cleans the space and most of gym members clean up after themselves. I've been training with the trainer Cait for a couple years and she's the best trainer I've ever worked with. I trained with numerous trainers in the past, but she really understands client's body condition and help you to get stronger. And her sense of humor helps you get through tough workout. I highly recommend this gym and Cait! read more

Base is an all around excellent fitness club. The facility is very clean, the equipment is up to date and well maintained, and the staff is friendly and professional. Greg is an outstanding personal trainer, and the yoga instructors are terrific. Just started the LifeMod program and I feel it will be valuable. The cafe food and beverage items are fresh and there is a solid variety of choices. I have been a Base member for almost ten years and highly recommend it. read more

One of the highlights of my days are being at Base! They offer a variety of classes, well priced, and now more than ever appreciate the clean, open layout. Love all the instructors who are all super kind, supportive, and innovative. They have done a tremendous job in keep us safe during our workouts which I'm sure all us members are thankful for. Highly recommend! read more

Thank you Base for continuing to offer FREE classes virtually through this covid 19 crisis, well done. Can't wait to be back!

I tried all of the gyms in Jersey City and Base is the best out there. Friendly and knowledgable staff, very clean and great equipment. The only negative is during the rush hours, it can get busy. I think that is common for all gyms but I personally recommend going just a bit later or earlier than rush hour. read more

Excellent gym with an Equinox feel. The facility itself is stunning. The windows allow for lots of light to come thru. Group exercise classes here are amazing and the gym is spotless always. The sauna and steam room are my absolute favorites here. I never have a problem finding a machine and all repairs are done with an incredibly fast turnaround. This gym is definitely worth the money. read more

Basically like a wannabe Equinox that isn't doing it right. Hidden fees that they don't tell you about. Cesar is super unprofessional after he's tried to be bros with potential new members. Once you're locked in, the facade is gone. Made up stories to try and cover himself during a dispute. Also has no concept of gym etiquette and steps over members on the floor. Terrible record keeping. Gym itself is okay, but could definitely improve w cleanliness (sometimes it smells unbearable) and maintenance of certain equipment. They've attempted to make certain things nicer. Front desk is generally pleasant. Too bad it's the only larger gym in the area... read more

Base is a standalone gym located in the heart of Jersey City. My favorite thing about this gym is that it is a 2 minute walk from my apartment to here. This is perfect for those living near Grove St! Base offers everything a typical big name gym would offer. They have a variety of free weight options, cardio machines, warm up areas, and enough equipment to give you a full body workout. They also have a ton of different classes going on throughout the day. I personally only do the spin classes. One of the reasons I continue coming here is that the owners continuously pour money into the place to improve it. Over the last year I have seen updated machines, new weights, redone locker rooms, and more. A lot of reviews have said this place is expensive. I cannot argue that it is not true but compared to other gyms at this tier I would say it's right at market price. I personally am willing to pay a little more for a quality gym, which Base is. Overall, I love coming here and will continue to do so. The staff is friendly and helpful and the gym is always clean. I recommend this to anyone looking for a quality gym. read more

The space is huge and so clean, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the trainers are the perfect combination of tough and encouraging. I especially love the wide variety of classes, many of them unique. I'm not really a gym person, but I am in love with you, Base gym. UPDATE: I just wanted to write more about how amazing Base is. One year after joining, I'm officially a gym person. Getting off the Path and walking into Base makes me instantly happy. I love love love Kara, Monica, Kevin and Jeff's classes, the only reason I'm not naming the other instructors is because I haven't gone to their classes consistently yet. My friends think I'm part of a cult, every sentence starts with "Have I told you about Base?", and it ends with "bring your gym clothes next time you come over". Also- the spa is BOMB. Just got the best ever deep tissue massage from Jessica. Like woah. read more

CAUTION - Do not complain about the service here. Not only will they ignore you feedback but they will also cancel your membership. See latest picture. Avoid this gym. For $140/month the place is dirty and not maintained. Equipment broken for weeks. Seats are torn and worn. Water fountain does not work properly. More broken equipment. Asked up front about excessiveness and delays. Guy said, "equipment is 8 yrs old, it takes awhile to get parts for outdated equipment". Ridiculous! Snot on wall by towel rack for 3 months now (5-12-17) Dirty. They turn off music 30 minutes before closing to make you get out (5-12-17) read more

Base - Gyms Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Great gym with fantastic equipment and amenities. Gym is always kept clean and the staff is very friendly.

When my company moved to JC I was very nervous about finding another gym. I was fortunate to attend this gym for the last 3 years. Based on previous gyms there's no comparison. You're outside NYC so you're not fighting for equipment and members are respectful. Erin Loizides signed me up and offers the utmost professionalism. Trainer, Ashley Ntansah will kick your butt as he should and has given me the tools to continue after I move west. It's a gym where you can surely thrive. I certainly will miss it. read more

I've decided to write a review under a different name to keep my identity hidden. If there was an option for zero stars i'd give this establishment zero. You can tell the machines aren't cleaned frequently even during A PANDEMIC. I've been a fan of this gym but lately the management team has gone downhill. I've had an encounter with an owner and let me just say the ignorance is awful. Find another gym guys! read more

I've been a Base member for a year now. When we moved from NYC to Jersey City, we knew that choosing the right gym environment was important to us. Good people, good environment, helpful and nice employees. Elena the on-site chiropractor is great. Power Plant on-site food and juice bar has fantastic vegan options. There's also a spa in-house for the days the body needs ultimate recovery. If driving, a 2-Hour parking validation at the parking garage next door. I'd recommend this gym to any and everyone that wants to join a wellness center and not just a "gym". Make sure to see manager Erin to get you set up as she is truly helpful. read more

I have been a member for years. Unfortunately it is going downhill fast. Few people wipe the equipment, but the worst is the stench.. It looks like either the a/c system does not work correctly - hello covid! or they have attracted a new set of people who might not believe in deodorant, proper cleaning or washers/dryers. The "rancid" smell in the cardio area in the second floor is horrifying at times. No way to open any windows, but I least they could leave the main door open when the weather allows it. It is getting seriously disgusting. The variety of cardio equipment is nice, and now is not as crowded as it was before covid, but it is getting to the point where I am ready to move on. Until the air quality improves. read more

Clean facility with plenty of machines and equipment, including free weights and barbells. Saunas and showers are an awesome bonus. Classes are a lot of fun/awesome workouts and Ashley Ntansah is an incredible trainer! The cafe is always stocked with locally sourced healthy options and smoothie bar. Only issue: the front desk readily pops lockers open if you tell them you can't remember your locker or combination. I've seen them do it on a few occasions and had mine popped but not properly closed after. read more

This is a review for Base Spa Eric and Francesca are amazing! I have a very physical job and require regular deep tissue massages. After seeing them I feel amazing, my mobility at work is greatly improved. I highly recommend trying out base spa. read more

Facilities are nice and clean, doesn't get too crowded, some good classes (also some not good ones). Customer service on the other hand is appalling and I've encountered some truly nasty staff here. For the price people are paying to go here, it is even more shocking. From the bored-looking, unfriendly girls chilling at the front desk to the managers, this place needs an attitude adjustment. You can't charge Equinox prices and have unpleasant service - Once there is more competition in Jersey City (it's the only semi-luxury/luxury gym right now in the city), this place will be in trouble. read more

Great gym! Super clean, amazing class options and friendly staff. It's definitely a fun community and they always have fun events for networking. Would definitely recommend for anyone in the area! read more

Base. How low can you go? Death row, what a brother knows Once again, back is the incredible Rhyme animal The uncannable D, Louis R The Number One Five-O said, "Freeze!" and I got numb Can I tell 'em that I never really had to run? But it's the wax that the Terminator X spun. Great place to hang out and pretend to lift weights and exercise, while eye-ballin the hotties all around you. Seriously, what this spot is, is a downtown JC chic "gym" to pick up chicks and bros. Its just like the "gyms" at the monster hotels out in Vegas...where you get an ice-cold towel in case you sweat (god forbid you sweat) while on the elliptical machine. But...I ain't hatin, it is what it is. Try it. You'll see what I mean. This used to be Club H, back in the early JC years. read more
