    Update - Full review of the facility, the staff, the vibe of my first real session - Genesis being…read moremy pre-review below. Inside: The facility is extremely clean and well-organized, with plenty of space to store your gear, whether it's sunglasses or your phone. The lighting was fantastic and created a really energizing atmosphere--Star Trek pun fully intended. My wife and I arrived just three minutes before the session began, but Jon and the staff made us feel immediately welcome. There's even a clean water fountain if you need it, but bring your own towel (pretty standard if you've done yoga or any other premium sessions). Equipment: The equipment layout was crystal clear. For context, I've been working out since junior high, but after focusing on my career for the last nine years, I hadn't exercised for over six months until this class. Even going at 70% yesterday, I was impressed by how clean and new everything was--think Equinox, if not better. The flow between the stations (1 through 7, with an optional 8th) was seamless, and Jon's guidance made it easy to follow without feeling rushed or lost. Trainer: - Look at the direct quotes from the trainers and staff below. They understand everybody is different and they understand how sensitive people can be when it comes to joining a club, especially one where it seems intense. I say change your point of view. If you don't try, then you essentially just gave up from the start. Especially if you want to get more fit. For those who are nervous, please read closely. Jon is a different kind of coach--personable, funny, and never pushy. The screens and timers keep everything structured, similar to what I experienced at Ignite back on the West Coast, but Jon adds his own humor that keeps things light while you work hard. His ability to crack jokes while still giving clear instructions was refreshing and made both my wife and me feel comfortable, especially since it was our first session back after a long break. Session: At 70% effort, the intensity and pacing were perfect. The workout left me energized with just the right amount of soreness (hello hamstrings, glutes, and squats). My wife felt the same and loved that the workout targeted the exact areas she wanted to strengthen--while the upper-body work felt easy for her since we used to do that together before our cross-country move. The first class is free, so there's nothing to lose. As Meghan said, "there's a science to the madness," and after one session, I get it--this is structured, effective, and actually fun. We're already talking to the staff about a monthly membership. I believe it's MoM, so we can non auto renewal anytime. TLDR : final magic thought : I don't wanna say I had gains waking up today. But the way my body moves, the way my muscle is flowing today - it feels like I went two weeks of health but consistent exercise- but it was done through one session. Nuff said (comic book fans!!) ----------- Came here today. Really - tired - in the best way possible. I used to do 40k steps including ball - teaching spin class - then ball - then running. That was over 11 years ago. Career jumps later, Alpha Fit was everything I imagined and more. I have a full review coming but for now wanted to provide some quotes from the trainers and staff - on top of the amazing experience I had with Alexis, Amanda, and Meghan. Jon - "I always wanted to grow up so I mean it's really just make sure that people are motivated and find inspiration and just moving and fitness. I don't care if you're just showing up doing the bare minimum the fact that you got up and showed up to the gym is exactly what I'm looking for. Just a little Park is really what makes a big difference of someone's life. You never know what little things that you can do that makes a big difference lay down the road. " Jon was hilarious and not pushing at all. He knew exactly your fitness level and made everyone feel comfortable. His quote tells it all. Annie - "Ive been a member for five years and now I am a coach and an off team member and you could not ask for a better community and a better workout and more fun in a workout experience" Let me rest for a while . Full review coming. Stay tuned.

    From the owner: Alpha Fit Club is an empowering circuit-style, strength and conditioning group fitness experience…read more It is a confidence-boosting workout in a high energy and inspiring atmosphere with an incredibly supportive community. 6 unique stations, completed together in "accountability packs", AFC workouts feature high intensity intervals paired with total body strength training that builds muscle, strength and endurance.

    There are good places and there are bad places. The good ones, you keep coming to; the bad you…read moresimply avoid. However, every so often there is a place that is so bad, that has bent out of shape to be uninviting, difficult, hostile, and overall unpleasant that you have to stand up to attention, open your eyes, count your losses, and leave, never looking back. I moved into Union City three years ago. Even before that I was an avid member of LA Fitness just across 30th and below Shop Rite. Now, that is a gym with history -- going back to when it was just another Bally's Total Fitness franchise operating for those who wanted big weights, heavy loads, and trustworthy machines that you could use and use and use without ever experiencing confusion or injury. Sadly, LA Fitness transitioned to Esporta, and Esporta eventually closed right around the pandemic. There was little warning -- now you see it; now you don't. Barely a notice on the door. Gone. I was always mildly curious about the Crunch that I could clearly see from the windows of LA Fitness. I'd been a brief visiting guest way back in the late 90s when there was a location in the West Village at the tail end of Christopher. It sat close to the now vanished Serge Gym, which was also known as a gym where you went to get big. I joined Crunch Hoboken in 2021 after Esporta/LA Fitness' demise. I'd been shopping for a place to work out, one that was not a Planet Fitness or Blink clone, one with real weights, plates, machines, and generous hours to include weekends and holidays. I loved the Hoboken location and will often go there even now three years later. I also go to the Tribeca location despite that its one glaring minus is the level of stairs you have to climb just to get down to the locker/stretch room, or that there is a mezzanine level with cardio equipment, which means, Crunch Tribeca is four stories of gym and nary an elevator in sight. But I digress. [Great gym, mind you, perfect location, hidden in plain sight and almost never packed.] Tonight was my second night visiting Crunch North Bergen. The first time was when I recently moved. Again, curiosity did me in from the days when I would see it, its sigh peeking out from behind some scant trees as it sat across Starbucks and next to Aldi's. I assume that like other Crunch locations it would sport a dense layer of free weights and Hammer machines, a bevy of squat cages, cambered bars, the whole nine yards. Come in and lift heavy, and if you can, do your cardio. Nope. I could not have been more wrong. The first time, it took me forever to get a bicep/tricep/shoulder workout. Every machine was incomprehensible, hostile things made to look sleek and ultra modern, but ultimately examples of machines that suit no purpose for the human body. It was also packed to the gills with some of the more unfriendliest people I have had the misfortune of seeing on this planet Earth -- not a one truly working out but either spotting someone else, chatting, texting, but hoarding all the equipment, the plates, or the area, as if laying claim and damned be everyone else. Broken machines, check. A weird smell in the air, check. Attitude, check. Women clearly looking for their baby daddy who have no idea what they're supposed to be doing with dumbbells or machines, check. That bro who's allegedly training his girl but also aggressively checking the candy, but of course. When you have a lack of actual equipment -- no Hammer Strength, no Life Fitness, not even Precor or Rogue -- and instead you have a sea of near impossible to understand machinery aimed to "giving you a workout", you're in trouble. I've been lifting weights for over 35 years. I've been to other Crunch locations. Shame on this one for being a rung lower than your bargain basement Planet Fitness, catering for the lowest common denominator and cashing in on memberships, not caring if machines work, you have an adequate number of machines and free weights for if you have a crowd, and labelling yourself a gym for Crunchers. And let's not get into its location. Crunch N Bergen is a logistic nightmare to get to. IT might appear to be in a somewhat accessible spot near JFK Blvd and 29, but to access the location you have to walk through a parking lot infested with homeless and other unsavory things. Imagine going there on foot at night. Seeing people strung out everywhere, some even reqching out like a scene out of a horror movie. Adding insult to injury, no lights, so good luck finding your way over crumbling asphalt and blinding lights. You could very well get assaulted -- and who would find out? CCTV? I thought the first time I came it was probably me. Now I realize, it's not even close to me, it's just a terrible franchise pretending to be what it's not. Last time for me, I am done, I will remain with the Signature locations I go to in the City.

Since I'm only here for the week, I didn't want to get tied down to a long contract. But when I walked in, I was joyfully greeted by two employees, Justin and Jeralde (I believe that was his name). Justin explained everything clearly and helped me get a 3-day pass with no pressure at all. If I lived in the area, I'd definitely get a membership here!

Since I've been training with Ave, I can confidently say I'm in the best shape of my life, even compared to my 20s and 30s. ABC helped correct years of misguided training methods and misinformation, and he did so with patience, expertise, and a meticulous eye for detail. What sets him apart is his presence and commitment: he is fully engaged, attentive, and intentional in every session. He plans strategically, monitors my progress diligently, and prioritizes injury prevention without ever compromising growth or performance. I highly recommend Ave to anyone serious about their health, longevity, and peak performance.
