To whom it may concern; We are founding members of the…read moreMontvale New Jersey Lifetime Fitness. We've have enjoyed the club for over 12 years. We know that we are paying a premium price/dues and felt that the facilities and service were worth it. However, things have changed over the past few years. The bottom line is that we are still paying premium prices, but no longer getting premium service. We used to refer all of our friends to this club, but in good conscience we no longer refer. The machines are not well maintained, and when one is taken out of service it can take 4 to 6 weeks to repair. A number of the TV 's around the club have faulty feeds so pictures are intermittent. Many of the screens on elliptical and treadmills do not work. This situation has gone on for over a year, and management has been informed many times over these issues. The club has oversold its membership so that parking is a problem. Aurora classes are always waitlisted. I utilize your personal training services weekly and most recently, I spoke to the General manager, Dominick Delli Paoli, about a situation that has persisted for years. I am referring to classes that take place in the middle of the exercise floor. The instructor, Micah, blasts the music so loudly that I can't even hear my personal trainer and the sound is so loud that it is offensive. She lowers the music when she is giving her group instruction and then returns to the blasting music. I've spoken to management during the year and nothing has changed. Yesterday, I went to Dominick's office to request that he has the music lowered. I was shocked by his response. When I explained my request, he replied,"I will not do that!" He was rude and dismissive. I am stunned that the General Manager of an upscale club be so rude to his members. He sat at his desk and did nothing. I went back to my personal training very upset to be treated so poorly. We would like nothing more than to see this club return to its former excellence, but it's hard to believe that could happen with this current general manager. Respectfully,

They continue to admit members when they have filled the gym with pre-existing members. Often times I found myself waiting for 1 of 45 treadmills to be available. 6 of them would probably out of service with no warning sign on it. 2. As far as the sauna, be prepared to be joined by 15 men. 1 of which will be taking a business call. 3. You will see a 45lb dumbbell placed in a 15lbs dumbbell spot on the rack because people don't understand how to put things back. 4. Lastly, their locker room is disgusting. My friend got Plantar Warts walking once barefoot. Towels are everywhere, locker room attendants are hitting their vapes. End of story, It's not worth the monthly payment unless you will be going 5AM-7:30AM or 7:30PM-10PM due to crowdedness.

I recently received a pass to try the gym out. I have to say during my whole week there the…read moreexperience was nothing short of spectacular. The classes offered are tremendous, and far exceeded my expectations. Janice was amazing! The front desk and all the teachers were SO nice they went above and beyond to make us feel very welcomed in the gym, even learning my name-- I could really appreciate that. The facility is also clean, the machines all work, and never much of a wait for any machine. Love the sauna, steam room and locker room - again very nice, and above average. This gyms price point is just above others in the area but for what you get it's worth it. My only qualm -- when we went to sign up after our pass had expired and I have to say I was so disgusted with the service we received. I agree with a few of the previous reviews that the membership woman, Denise had one of the worst attitudes I have ever encountered in my life. I walked in the door and was so excited to sign up as we just moved into the area and I really needed a new gym to get back on track. By the time I was done I was rethinking the decision..She made me feel very uncomfortable. it was evident by her mannerisms that she just wanted to sign us up and get us out of there. Not one thing was explained in a decent manner, it was like we should of just known the terms and conditions of the membership-- any question we had were inept. She had a stank face the whole time. There wasn't even small talk like "oh, how was your pass" "what are your fitness goals" "how did you hear about us" nothing. It was so awkward, just dead silence and her gazing in frustration at the computer and at us with any question we had. Furthermore she gave us a hard time with the 50$ off promotion; even though the manger we spoke to on the phone mentioned it on the phone nonchalantly, so I figured it wouldn't be an issues. Boy was I wrong she requested I send her an email with proof, then when I couldn't find it she just FINE ILL JUST GIVE IT TO YOU and blurted out the new total. Overall signing up we felt patronized and looked at us as if we were incompetent. I wish i wouldn't have had that experience because besides that everything was great... i am SO grateful she wasn't my first impression because I probably wouldn't have joined. In an industry where people are coming in vulnerable and wanting to find a place to 'feel good' the customer service is imperative, it was severely lacking.

Then I heard about the trainers at Emerge that could come work on yoga and pilates with me in my own apartment. I thought, "why not give it a go?" It was so convenient to have the trainer come to me, and they were so flexible about timing with my work schedule. They're experienced to work with clients from beginner to advanced levels, so don't worry about your skill level. After the first session, I was amazed at how much of a good workout it was. I've done 4 sessions now, and I can actually see the results - I'm clearly getting more flexible and achieving a stronger core. This has even carried over into my work, and I can feel myself being more relaxed and focused. For yoga and pilates lovers, I'd definitely recommend trying out a personal trainer session at Emerge!
