Inside the gym
Danny D.

Great place to work out and the membership costs are great compared to other gyms. It is busy during dinner time, but it is open late which is great (11pm). It's a clean location and the staff is great. The equipment it also always functional.

Very good gym . Nice and friendly staff members. I registered online ... easy to register and just go and start workout . 3 different pricing models , perfect for every needs .. they had a thanksgiving deal for dec free and it's good. Parking can be tough sometimes , but overall a very good location. Just next to DAS cricket and badminton. So , during cricket days , we can work out here and then play cricket. Need to try the classes and spin theater sometime. Thumbs up to the whole team :)

It took almost 3 months for them to finally put up tarps to prevent further leaks: everywhere. I still get dripped on sometimes.

I have mixed feelings about this gym. Bottom line: you get what you pay for. I signed up for the monthly plan which costs $25 a month because I knew I was going to be here for just 4 to 5 months in the area. Unfortunately sometimes you will be put in the position where they make you pay more than for what you get. when I tried to cancel my membership it was very difficult and almost had to pay another month that I did not want. some staff, especially the trainers seem very knowledgeable and friendly. on the other hand, the reception staff and management, including the owner are very difficult unprofessional and not helpful. management does not seem to care about their customers or their experience at the gym. they seem to feel that because it is so cheap they can cut corners, say whatever they want, and ignore customers. on two occasions they provided me wrong information about their membership rules, and when I tried to straighten the issues out, the managers and owner were very rude, refused to listen to my problem and concerns, and ultimately forced me to call the corporate office to finally resolve the billing issue. I would strongly recommend only signing up for the monthly plan. it's only five dollars a month more which comes out to $60 a year extra. however it's a major benefit to cancel anytime especially if you end up like me being one of the people who are unhappy or had a problem. that $60 is a better value to not be stuck with a gym that you do not even want to go to. The selection of equipment is adequate and generally good. sometimes their machines don't work properly because of loose bolts, mechanical wear or torn padding/ handles. sometimes especially between 3:30 PM and 7 PM it gets so crowded it's almost impossible to do a routine without adding an extra 30 to 45 minutes. The staff seem more interested in talking to themselves by the juice bar, or girls working out rather than organizing the weight racks or cleaning up equipment areas. Also, many of the people that use this gym have very poor gym etiquette and do not place back weights, not moving seats and benches back to their original spots, or instead putting them in random locations which is very inconvenient. Only once did I see a staff member who was one of the good ones being proactive about this. None of the other staff helped and just stood around talking instead. One of the few positive experiences I had was with the trainer who was always willing to take my body fat percentage whenever I asked him. He was courteous, friendly, and always willing to give me tips whenever I had questions. Several times I had to ask questions to the desk staff about my membership policy and they provided me inaccurate and ultimately conflicting information. There is also a leaky roof above the entire facility. They still have not fixed it completely and just patched it up with tarp. I still get dripped on once in a while which is annoying. I do not plan to return to this gym after my membership is finished at the end of this month. My final thought is to suggest to find an alternative gym if there is another one close to you, even if it costs a bit more.

You won't find Metuchen this gym again, not with a barge pole. You also won't find Metuchen myself…read morein the locker room. I'm not into that. So it started badly, as on the way in, I got yelled at profusely, and I mean really yelled at, by some old man telling me I was driving the wrong way through the parking lot - and he stood in my way to yell at me too. It wasn't well marked and was banal as nobody else was driving in the lot. Then when I got on with my cardio, the TV was staticky, and while the gym had some decent stuff and some fit-looking members, I have to say these are not great facilities and the space is a little cramped. They offer no towels, no hairdryer, and in general, not one of the best I've used. I'd give it a 4 if not for the fact that the TV, lack of towels, parking issues, and especially getting yelled at, all made me not enjoy my workout much.

Prior to Covid, the facility was put on notice by me regarding unacceptable hygiene and cleanliness…read moredue to patrons leaving behind their wipes in the cup holders of various equipment. Only after a meeting with managers and CEO did it improve....briefly, while the employees walked up and down the floor giving me dirty looks because they now had to do something. The practice continued and did not follow normal hygiene practices, nor was anything enforced, ever. Covid comes, and enrolled patrons are notified that they can suspend membership until a specific date, and if not (suspended membership), it will automatically be re-enabled and charged unless notified. No ongoing communication has occurred since then, and only verbal information is/was provided. As of July 1st, no resumption of gym facilities yet they steal money from my on file credit card making an assumption that they may soon be able to open, and placing the burden of me having to keep extending my requested suspension. I'll assume I'm not going back as I'll be at risk, and because of their lackluster previous inabilities, I'm certain they may never return to normal. One might think that they would contact persons to ask if they minded them to have their funds stolen.

Always been a fan of exercise and the wear and tear in my joints beginning to show. Thankful to have been referred to this fitness center. All trainers hold degrees in the field.

Can't say enough about this center. Works for all levels of training. Perfect for someone just starting out or the elite athlete looking to bring up their game.

This place is ridiculous, the AC hasn't worked all summer. Have you ever tried to work out indoors…read moreon a 97 degree day?! Torture ESPECIALLY in a Tuesday night spin class because Athena is EFFICIENT! Only for her work to be rewarded with pure laziness and undesirable conditions, every time we come in, another bike is out of commission. The speakers in the cycle room don't work! Working out in SILENCE is one of THE MOST uncomfortable things to do! Especially at a monthly rate!!!!!!!! Going to the gym is already annoying but under these conditions, it's harder and harder to lose the weight because its like I'm fighting myself from going to the gym. Not because of fitness but because of TORTURE! Temperature torture, uncleanliness torture, equipment torture, slipping & tripping TORTURE. There's never any wet wipes! In a post Covid society, that's unacceptable , it should be a crime. Especially in a place people are always IN. Then come to find out, they're trying to get rid of the paper towels too! Which we're already moistening by pumping the hand sanitizer onto.... Can you say "GHETTO ?!" Ghetto in PISCATAWAY?! C'mon, HOW?! Absolutely unacceptable. There were holes in the gym ceiling for months to the point night volleyball games were beyond hazardous . Liabilities to say the least! A slip in there at volleyball playing speed can take you out of work for MONTHS. The sauna works on & off in spurts... really just depends on the day. They need more people teaching more classes all day! Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday's don't have enough to choose from. I joined this gym for cycle classes, aquafit & volleyball Not only do they not offer enough of them , aquafit is once a week very early, & I already mentioned why volleyball and cycle were a bust! (For the record also, Juliet is a fantastic instructor as well) Going to the other location is NOT conducive for me because I live down the street! Why should I be inconvenienced by somewhere I PAY TO BE?! Please! Help us! We've had enough at this point, it's truly a negligent situation we're facing & again, for a monthly Fee, doing something most truly don't want to participate in anyway.... The GYM!

Had an incredibly terrible experience at the LA Fitness on Oak Tree Rd in South Plainfield, I came…read morewith my sister who uses a GymPass to come here, I was doing the 3-day free guest pass as offered on LA's website, I came on day one and they took my ID and didn't explain anything about the guest pass or give a tour or literally anything for that matter. Day 2 I go in to use the guest pass again and I scanned in my guest pass just as I did yesterday, and signed the form they wanted me to, I was taken behind the counter to the membership desk with employee, Zayd, and was told since I already used the guest pass yesterday under my sisters I couldn't today, she doesn't have a direct LA Fitness pass and doesn't even have guest abilities. I let the guy know I came yesterday and had never come prior to this gym. I was told I couldn't use it today or again for that matter. I asked to speak to the GM, his name is Amari, and he flat out said that I either needed to pay the $20 for the day pass or leave. I asked to see the guest pass policy that states that I couldn't use it for all three days and even showed my email from LA showing that. I then left the gym feeling frustrated, I called the corporate number that LA lists and after explaining our situation he got in contact with Amari from the location, who then decided to issue the 3-day guest pass to me so problem solved. In all, it should've been explained to me why that happened and why I couldn't use it, I was very much considering using this gym as it is much closer to my home and offers different benefits from the one I currently go to. But now, since being treated unfairly I do not feel as though it is worth it to go here to have employees who simply do not care or give any decency to people wanting to come here.
