Nice gym! My brother and I went as guests as our original gym was closed due to renovations…read more It is very large, with 2 floors. They have a separate entrance for the women's gym, but since we are both male we went through the regular entrance. If you're a female, you an use both. They have a little dining section right when you enter where you can make coffee and relax. The rest of the floor is the gym which is massive; I'll be honest in that I didn't get to see everything cause we were pressed for time. They have a very nice pool and hot tub in the back. I didn't get to swim but the pool looks nice and clean. Locker room is in need of some updates. It was a little crusty and the carpet was peeling in some spots. Overall, it's a nice family gym that needs some small updates here and there. I will definitely be back!

KS seems to fit that. Although there are competing gyms in the area that have a larger selection of equipment for a lower price, KS is family owned, much friendlier, and has a more central location. There are also not a lot of "juice-heads" who go there. It tends to be a a pretty non-pretentious crowd. It could just be open a little later.

This review is long overdue and well deserved! When I moved to the area, I was looking for a gym…read morenearby with a trainer. Before joining LA Fitness, I was used to group HIIT classes. However, after bariatric surgery, those classes no longer supported my health and fitness goals. The inflammation in my body was too much and was counteracting my hard work. As a woman entering peri-menopause, I knew I needed to learn strength training, proper form, mind-muscle connection, and how to use machines I wasn't familiar with. After joining LA Fitness, you receive a free consultation/assessment. Mary was fantastic during this process--she took the time to understand my capabilities, goals, and needs. After the assessment, she paired me with Jimmy B! Initially, I was overwhelmed by the idea of creating the "perfect workout." I didn't know how to choose which muscle groups to work or when. Jimmy simplified everything and made it easy to learn. I also appreciated how relatable he was--just because he's a trainer doesn't mean he hasn't had his own journey. It's encouraging to know we all start somewhere, regardless of skill level. Each workout was recorded in a book, creating my own personalized program that I could reference anytime. Jimmy explained every movement, what muscles I was working, and why proper form matters. No question was ever "stupid." He was patient and made sure I truly understood. He pushed me past my limits, kept me out of my comfort zone (in the best way), and helped me grow--both mentally and physically. By the end of my sessions, I was a new woman! I gained confidence, self-love, and the discipline to work out on my own without relying on group classes. While I no longer train with Jimmy due to budget, if you can make it work, I HIGHLY recommend investing in yourself and your health. With his incredible coaching, I've watched my body transform dramatically--from obese to overweight, to average, and now to fit, toned, strong, and healthy! For the first time in my life, I can actually feel core strength and abs (even if I can't fully see them yet). Body dysmorphia is real, especially after major transformations, but Jimmy's program helped me mentally too--I can now see the results of my hard work in my body's cuts and striations. Health is wealth. It's the best gift you can give yourself. If you're new to fitness, training at LA Fitness with Jimmy is the PERFECT place to start. Put in the work, and his guidance will deliver results--100%! Some people make a lasting impact on your life, and Jimmy is absolutely one of those people for me. Thank you, Jimmy, for helping me change my life. Forever grateful for your expertise!

I have been a member of Retro Fitness for about a year. They recently got new treadmills that I…read moredon't like so I cancelled my membership. They told me my membership will expire in a few days from then so I started a membership at another gym. I just noticed that Retro billed me for another month. I called them and they said I did not give them seven days notice so I had to pay for another month of membership. If I knew that it was not going to expire in a few days, I would have finished up the month at Retro. Now I have two gym memberships. There is no logical purpose for this policy. I found it to be very sneaky and I am not going back.

LL opened roughly 6 mos ago, it's a gym I want to go to, a gym I look forward to going to. I have to drive 10 min to get there vs going to Crunch which is 1 min away. Being in a gym owned and managed by fitness people, seeing fitness competitors working out for upcoming shows or just seeing people who are focused builds my motivation. This gym is hands down the best gym for miles. There's a good amount of cardio equipment, (stairmasters, treadmills, spin bikes etc). There's various benches, plate-loaded and racked machines from various manufacturers. All equipment is carefully curated to meet the needs of the gym's members. And what's best, in the few months they've been open, I've already witnessed at least 6-10 machines be removed and replaced with more high-end pieces. If you can't tell, I'm so pumped (some pun) that The Lifters Lair has opened, I look forward to lifting through the winter.

Not gonna lie it was a bad day to forget my iPhone earbuds. -1 Star: Machine organization was okay but at times confusing. I'm used to a very organized gym that lumps all leg machines together, then flows into all arm machines together, and so on. Wasn't the best gym I've been to, but it got the job done since I'm visiting from out of town. I give them credit for keeping the place clean (locker rooms and workout space alike) because honestly that's all I really want out of a gym that I'm visiting while I'm down here! Also, shout out for the complimentary day pass. If I were to live in Toms River on a budget, I'd definitely use Planet Fitness because of how low the fees are. I'm used to paying almost $100 a month for my gym up in CT, but that's another story for another Yelp review... Also on a strange note, they have grape candy at the front desk. Never thought a gym would give out free candy because to me that sounds counterproductive!

As far as another review goes where somebody rifled through somebody's belongings in the locker room. Maybe they should've put a lock on the locker. Hello.... I wouldn't leave my purse or belongings sitting out in the open or even in a locker unlocked. So that is kind of silly to begin with and yes it could've been an employee but it could've happened with another customer or member as well. I would not leave my belongings in a locker without a lock if there was a security guard & a camera watching the lockers. Unfortunately we live in a world where locks are needed.. duh ... The staff seems very nice. They don't don't actually do a lot .Last time I was there there was at least five or more of the staff standing around the desk and not walking around or monitoring anything. The place was kind of empty but then there should be so many on staff at that time. The facility is pretty clean. Yes like it any place there are some jerks that don't clean off the equipment so you could either report them at the desk, say something to them yourself or like me just clean the equipment yourself before and after you used it. It is a pain but at least i dont get or leave my germs or sweat for someone else.. For what you pay for you get a decent gym. With decent equipment and I guess you just have to pick what time to go that it's not busy. There are not a lot of germs in this area, and we are lucky enough to have one that is open 24 hours except on the weekends which they're still open in enough time that you can get your ass there if you really wanted to. No place is perfect but this is a pretty decent gym. If people were a little bit more conscious, courteous, and used a little bit of common sense. It would be even better.
