Whitney is an exceptional instructor who pushes me with positive reinforcement and appropriate correction. She makes the class fun and productive. I can't believe how fast the hour goes by.

I think I've taken classes with every instructor there and they are all great. They offer small classes where you really get individual attention. The instructors walk around and correct your form if you're not doing the exercise correctly to prevent injuries. There's lots of modifications to try where you get the same results. I'm 30 classes in and always look forward to the next class. While they work the same muscle groups, each class differs just enough to keep things interesting! So glad I inquired about their classes and took the intro class.

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,

I rarely write reviews, which should tell you how compelled I feel to share our experience at Life…read moreTime Bergen County. We've been Life Time members for years and previously used another club where the staff were consistently friendly. I won't dwell on the facilities here--fees are high, amenities feel dated (though I know upgrades are underway), and comparable clubs in other high-cost areas offer more. That's not my main concern. My issue is the pattern of rude behavior at the front desk and the lack of awareness and follow-through from management. Most troubling, my child recalls being called "illegalist kid in the world" by someone wearing a Life Time jersey in the Kids Club. I reported this to both management and the Kids Club manager. There was no follow-up. My child stopped going for a while--especially disappointing since the Kids Club was a big reason we joined. I also notice a clear difference in how people are treated. We continue to go because it's convenient, not because I want to spend my hard-earned money where discriminatory behavior is tolerated or customer service concerns are ignored. For what it's worth, not all Life Time locations are like this--our experience at other clubs has been much better. I hope this feedback prompts meaningful action: acknowledge the complaint, follow up with families, train staff on respectful conduct, and ensure accountability. That's the standard members should be able to trust

I think commuters and other businesses share the parking lot with gym patrons, making it a long walk to the front. Inside, Vision Sports Club is a pleasant place. It's large; it's always chilly inside - but overall, this gym has decent workout space (even for serious lifting). The showers are clean, and the locker room is impeccable. There are classes, but most of them are located in the far corner of the building in a warehouse-like setting. The only instructor worth mentioning is Janice, who is quite good. The gym overall has no character - I think it's a cross between a Gold's gym and a Planet Fitness. THE BAD: When quitting the gym - I moved away from the area - the manager gave me a VERY hard time. They charged me for nearly 2 extra months, and when I complained, she went off on a personal attack asking me my age, questioning my maturity level, yelling, etc. No explanation was given, other than "that's the way we do it." From what I did understand, I was 3 days into the month, so I had to pay for that month AND the next (I was on month-to-month basis at the time). So I paid, and politely left. I'm not coming back.

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!
