They have…read moreeverything u need, it's nice & cool in the gym, never crowded when i go so im rarely waiting for any equipment, i like the way things are set up & the front desk people are friendly .. only thing i dont like is that there is only one ab machine & I've never liked this particular one.. there needs to be another ab machine & also a captains chair that isn't wobbly .. i can't use the captains chair cuz it moves way too much then there's the half ball on the back of it instead of just a pad to lean up against - took a star off for these reasons

I've been going to this Retro Fitness for over 10 years. Back then they even offered childcare,…read morewhich was amazing for parents--I used to drop off my daughter and work out with total peace of mind. I mostly take classes and absolutely love Donovan and Marieliz's classes. They know exactly what they're doing and always give a great workout. Because of my schedule, I can't always join other classes, but whenever I had the chance, those were great too. The gym is overall clean, but by the end of the day it can get a bit crowded, especially when teens come after school, and it doesn't smell as fresh. Mornings and midday are definitely cleaner. The location is convenient, there's a big parking lot, and the hours are perfect. The membership is pretty affordable, and mine even lets me bring a guest--my teenage son comes with me all the time. After so many years here, I can honestly say I highly recommend this gym.

My concern regarding an incident at Hackensack Meridian Fitness in which I believe I was subjected…read moreto inappropriate harassment and interference because of the message written on my shirt. I was confronted by a male member who appeared to be upset about what was written on my shirt\. Whatever his personal disagreement may have been with the message, I believe I have the right to peacefully wear clothing expressing my views, provided that the message does not violate a legitimate, neutral facility rules. I did not threaten this individual, make threats against anyone, or engage in conduct intended to cause harm\. I also dispute any characterization of my shirt or my expression as "slander\." Slander generally concerns a false spoken statement about another person that causes legally cognizable harm; merely wearing a shirt containing an opinion, political statement, or other expression is not automatically slander. More importantly, I am concerned about the broader pattern of what I perceive as interference with my rights. On a prior occasion, I believe a woman interfered with my ability to pray. I now feel that I am being confronted over what I choose to wear and express on my clothing. These incidents have caused me to question whether I am being treated differently because of my religious beliefs, identity, or viewpoint.

The Gym is the nicest gym I've had the pleasure of working out in. Everything is SUPER CLEAN and…read morethe all cardio and strength machines are in good shape. There's ample space to stretch and enough machines and benches to go around. It can get a bit packed during peak hours, but it's never too crowded. Did I mention how clean everything is? The staff are amazing! They're always so welcoming, helpful, and are just really friendly people. I also want to commend their COVID response efforts--when I first joined last year, they went above and beyond in helping me feel safe via their safety measures and policies. I highly recommend The Gym to anyone looking for a 5-Star gym experience.

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.

I would definitely consider returning if they lowered their prices. But compared to other gyms in the area, this just doesn't make sense financially.

Unfortunately, I'm not God's favorite... so I have to work out to maintain my figure... which…read morebrings me to my 8 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. I switch between the Paramus and Englewood Cliffs location, but I prefer this one since it's much bigger and has later hours. My biggest ick? The gym is not maintained well at all. Machines, equipment, hand dryers, and bathroom sinks are broken down for months. Dumbbells and plates are scattered everywhere, which is not 100% the employees' fault. There's a constant foul smell in certain areas, most likely due to broken pipes. 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 Paramus location is spacious and has two floors. *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, or Melissa's classes. Check the website for the full class schedule. *There's a basketball court, pickle ball games, and a racquetball court. *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. *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.

I loved this gym for a while until yesterday. I go in and the girl tells me that since the location…read morewasn't my home gym I, a Black Card member, would have to pay an additional fee to use the gym at this Hackensack location. This is the only location I ever use and the reason it had Hoboken as my home Gym is because I signed up online and that's the one it chose. Then she couldn't help me at all and told me I would need to call or go online so that means I got up, got dressed and then drove all the way over there for nothing. It's like they either hire these young people who have zero clue what customer service is or the company itself doesn't know. I am so disgusted and even though I eventually went online to change it, I'm really rethinking if I want to continue going. They also made the gym recently overcrowded by allowing teen to use it during the summer which is also super annoying. I was looking forward to my summer break as a teacher finding a time when the gym is quiet but that's gone now too.

Girls wear tube tops 5. I have stood in line for help while the staff stares at women, to the point I had to interrupt his stare, in order to be helped. Management clearly needs to worked on and their staff is worst than the management!

Women's private gym area behind the locker room. Since this gym has alot of meatheads, it's impossible to use some of the equipments and the women's private area has few machines you can workout in peace and quiet.

This place is truly a golden treasure and whoever is looking to learn yoga and help themselves, this is the place.
