I really enjoy being a member at The Gym. The space is always clean,…read morethe equipment is modern, and the staff is friendly, but what truly makes my experience special is my trainer Monica. Before working with her, I had never strength-trained. She taught me the mind muscle connection. As a runner with a few imbalances, I really value how she builds in mobility, flexibility, and functional strength so I move and feel better overall. In five months, the progress has been amazing. Monica plans every session thoughtfully, challenging but never overwhelming, and always tailored to my needs. Her coaching style is the perfect blend of clear instruction, supportive energy, and just the right amount of push. What really sets her apart is her holistic approach. As a certified yoga teacher, she brings mindfulness and stress relief into each session, making every workout feel like a full reset. And as a chef with nutrition certification, her advice and meal plans are realistic, sustainable, and never restrictive. I couldn't ask for a better trainer. Monica is knowledgeable, caring, and genuinely dedicated. I highly recommend her.

Went all the way down to join the club and Frank was extremely unwelcoming, so I will not be…read morejoining or coming back to that club...ever **Thanks for your response Andrew and thanks for the invite to keep MY review up. You need to get the facts straight first before you jump the gun on how friendly Frank was to me because that's simply NOT the case... My ID is 100% valid. Im retired like I told him several times This is what I clearly told Frank a year ago and he said that it was" no issue at all" ..So I ended up coming back to the club a year later to finally join up. He asked me for ID which I showed him, then he started to say oh didn't you come in here a year ago etc, so I said yes I did. He then tells me "oh your ID says retired you can join at the full rate" and "I told you last time that im not giving you the discount we offer ...(that's not true at all ), What he said was that it was NO ISSUE".. He started to examine my ID, hold it up to the light literally about 5 different times ,,,Not sure what that was about...I said Frank, " WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY ID- YOURE EXAMINING IT LIKE ITS A FAKE $100 BILL OR SOMETHING, I said is there an issue?????..and he says " OH NOTHING I WAS JUST LOOKING AT IT. He then continues to say he's not giving me the discount and he told me this last year. I said NO PROBLEM...I was leaving, asked him for my ID back, and he started taking pictures of my ID with his phone... Maybe you can clear that up for me Andrew..what was that about after I said no problem and was clearly leaving the club with my coat on. Why did he start taking pictures of My ID? I mean I could care less that you or him think my ID is not valid, I could care less about any discount, or joining your club..Thats not the point at all.. I just didn't appreciate the way I was treated..PERIOD. Its really as Simple as that..I hope this clears it up for you. My experience was not good.

After a decade of being overweight since college and having tried numerous times myself, I decided to get serious and get a trainer. Within 5 months of working with Gil, I reached my goal weight and dropped 45 lbs! On top of that, strength grew tremendously.

Dropped 5 waist sizes on my pants and when from a size L/XL to a S/M. It feels good trying on slim fit clothes and they fit well.

While I enjoy the gym, I needed to work with a trainer to establish routines that were effective and that would help me to meet my goals. From the time I reached out to get more information, I was extremely pleased with Gilbert's immediate response and in his attention to detail when working through my regimen with me. He is a professional who obviously cares a lot about the work he does and about his clients. I have the pleasure of working out with Trinnie. She is fantastic! I learn something from her during every single workout. She is extremely knowledgeable and shares a lot of information on nutrition and fitness. She makes excellent recommendations and has given me so many new ideas on how to frame nutrition/workouts, etc. What I first considered to be an indulgence (I've been a gym member and I've worked with trainers - I could have tried on my own) turned out to be the best investment I could have made in my health and fitness.

Unfortunately, I'm not God's favorite... so I have to work out to maintain my figure... which…read morebrings me to my 7 year rollercoaster of a relationship with 24 Hour Fitness. I first joined in 2018 and it's sad to see how downhill the corporation has gone. The glory days ended shortly after the COVID pandemic. Since then, they've closed over 7 NJ locations, cut down opening hours, cut down on group classes, removed towel service, and have limited sauna and pool hours. I understand that it took time for gyms to recover and get back into full swing. But it's 2025 now. There's way too much competition in the fitness industry for 24 to be operating the way it is. My biggest ick? The gym is not maintained well at all. Machines and equipment are broken down for months. There's a hand dryer in the women's bathroom that has been out of order since last Spring. There's a constant foul smell in certain areas, most likely due to broken pipes. There's always a problem with the AC during summer months, making it uncomfortably hot. The entire facility needs a deep cleaning from head to toe. What are we paying a maintenance fee for? Come on... Putting the negatives aside, there are some positives. *The floor has all of your basic equipment: treadmills, bikes, stairmasters, squat racks, barbells, benches, dumbbells, kettlebells, TRX, cables, and machines. I can recommend this gym for beginner to intermediate lifters. It's not a bodybuilder or powerlifting gym. *Their Zumba classes are SO MUCH FUN. Don't judge a book by its cover... get in there!!! Take Lucia, Lynn, Nina, or Melissa's classes. Check the website for the full class schedule. *They have a sauna, steam room, pool, and showers with limited hours. I only use the sauna and it's relaxing when it's not super crowded. *The front desk staff is friendly and welcoming. They're personable and will remember you. *My membership allows me to have access to other regional locations as well as bringing guests. Pricing is a bit all over the place. It all depends on when you join, what kind of membership you have, and what sales/promotions are going on. Some members pay $24 or $34 a month, while others are paying $54. It's best to ask the front desk what the lowest rate is. Overall, it's not the worst gym in the world. It gets the job done for my fitness routine. I just wish the maintenance was a lot better and that they would have later hours. Honestly, I've been thinking about finding another gym. If it weren't for the friends and community I've made and my lower price rate, I would have left awhile ago. I'm willing to spend more $$$ on a membership for a much better experience.

For me, the great thing about this gym was always how close it was to my house. Recently, however,…read morethe facility experienced flooding that caused significant water damage, and the way the situation was handled has been extremely frustrating. Personally, I never received an email explaining how memberships would be handled during the closure, although I know some members did. Most of the updates I received were through social media. We were told we could use nearby locations while they worked on reopening. If you live in the Fort Lee area, you know there aren't many gyms around, and there are even fewer Retro Fitness locations nearby. I ended up driving over 20 minutes just to get to another location. I work out 6-7 times a week, so this became very inconvenient very quickly. While going to other gyms, I kept running into other members and hearing the same rumors--that the owner was waiting for the insurance payout and planning to sell the gym. Because updates were vague and inconsistent, I decided to email for clarification. I will say that the manager, Janee, has always been great--attentive, responsive, and helpful whenever I had questions. The issue seems to be more with ownership and the lack of customer-focused communication. My membership was frozen for a while when the flooding first happened because I was away, and they were helpful with that. However, once I returned and started going to other locations, I realized those gyms were cleaner, had better equipment, and overall provided a better experience. When I heard that the Fort Lee location was planning to reopen on March 11th but with limited machines and reduced space in what is already a small gym, I decided to request a refund for the remaining time on my membership. I paid for my membership in full, and it doesn't seem fair that members are expected to pay for what will essentially be half a gym while repairs continue. I completely understand that flooding is not their fault, and unexpected things happen. However, the lack of clear communication and the refusal to offer reasonable reimbursement options to members who paid upfront feels very customer-unfriendly. It's disappointing because this gym had the potential to be a great neighborhood spot. Unfortunately, the way this situation has been handled has left a lot of members frustrated. They did offer to give me a one month reimbursed of $24.99, I guess that is more than enough to the owner.

I really dislike the owner Tarzan. He nickels and dimes people, and is just a terrible business person. He wasn't straightforward with any of the prices or rules relating to gym prices. I signed up for the $99 deal with unlimited two months to any of the Giant boxes (Edgewater and Englewood). I show up to a foundation class (beginner's) even though I've been Crossfitting for multiple years, and he sends me an invoice for another $200 for the class a week after I took my first beginner's class. What? I called the gym in advance and spoke with him on the phone before I attended the class, and he never mentioned that to me on the phone or in person while I was in the class he was coaching. This box does not make you sign any liability waivers like every other Crossfit box does. (Lawsuit waiting to happen...) Instead, Tarzan wants to manually confirm you've finished an On Ramp/foundations course with the previous box you were at. I have 8 email correspondences with him regarding this, and he snapshots emails of previous clients that haven't done this to send to me as proof. That's cool, not. His gym in Edgewater is overcrowded, so he tries to redirect as much traffic as possible to his Englewood gym. That's great but I didn't sign up to CrossFit in Englewood, I live in Edgewater and that's where I want to work out. He wouldn't accept this until I finished the Foundations class... I wouldn't give this gym another hour of my time, much less a monthly membership.
