Unfortunately, I'm not God's favorite... so I have to work out to maintain my figure... which…read morebrings me to my 7 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. My biggest ick? The gym is not maintained well at all. Machines and equipment are broken down for months. There's a hand dryer in the women's bathroom that has been out of order since last Spring. There's a constant foul smell in certain areas, most likely due to broken pipes. There's always a problem with the AC during summer months, making it uncomfortably hot. 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 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, Nina, or Melissa's classes. Check the website for the full class schedule. *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. *The front desk staff is friendly and welcoming. They're personable and will remember you. *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 have never had such a disappointment as the session I had last year at Englewood Cliffs. The…read more"trainer" (Ruben) shamed me about my age and told me we didn't have to do anything beyond him watching me squat and walk sideways. He told me I was terrible. No lifting. Nothing. No work on any of the machines. I used to belong to Equinox in NYC, and I know what expert training and assessment are like. Disgusted with this club, which I resisted joining for 9 years, even though I live a few streets away. It used to get such horrible reviews because of the filth and smell, but it was supposedly remodeled. Meanwhile, I spent the summer in Ireland and had great training, weights, TRX, stepping, yoga. Meanwhile, the classes I did attend in the Spring in NJ were overcrowded and amateurish. I'm moving back to NYC and want my money back. Terrible experience. Ruben should not be allowed anywhere near women because he was so dismissive and demeaning and completely unqualified.

The Montclair facility, being on a collage campus gave my seven year old swimmer an extra "I'm swimming in a university pool" confidence boost. Mr. Matt knows exactly when and how to challenge his swim students. Whether he's working with them in the shallow first half of the lane or he's right besides his student as they tackle the full 25 meters, his excited encouragement never fades. He's an outstanding instructor! The Take Me to the Water staff has great communication skills. My emails never go unanswered. I truly appreciate that as a parent. The pool side staff has a fun positive vibe when interacting with the students. We're quite happy to have found this swim program.

We are a bulk water delivery company. Lou from Rise & Shine Pools hired us back in May of 2017 to…read moredeliver water to a pool he had installed in Watermill on Memorial Day weekend of that year. We supplied our service as requested but he has yet to pay us. We've contacted him numerous times over the years with no call backs or any time of communication. All we ask for is to paid for the service he requested that we did provide. If he treats the companies he hires this way I can only assume the service he provides his customers would be just as subpar. I would definitely stay far away from this company and look elsewhere to a more honest, reliable and dependable pool company that knows how to treat their suppliers and their customers with the same respect.

My first impression here was positive as the gym had a unique non-traditional layout, but coming…read moreback often, my overall verdict is that this gym all in all is too small for the Columbia population. *For first timers, the gym is to the right after you scan in.* Pros: -Clean -Plenty of locker space -Lots of showers -Two floors filled with treadmills and ellipticals Cons: -Not enough free weights, especially lighter ones -Can ideally only fit ~30 people in weight room assuming everyone is working on a different part -One court for basketball/badminton/etc. -Track space can get in people's way and inclined sideways -Towel and lock service costs extra (for summer at least) Well, had to make do with what I had. I think over the summer it doesn't get overly crowded on non-peak hours, but I can't imagine what it's like for the upcoming school year.

After being spoiled with the huge, but still decently priced, gyms in CA this gym was just an…read moreextreme disappointment. I paid for 2 semesters access, but probably only went a handful a times -- needless to say, I seriously wasted my money. After doing some research for other gyms in the surrounding area, this gym started to look better -- price, location, amenities, and options-wise. I, once again, paid for access for 2 semesters but this time went quite often. I've come to understand that this gym takes some getting used to. The top one being the issue of signing up for machines. I find that if I go during off-peak times, I can usually sign up for the machine I want with no issues at all. You just have to be open to options if you're going during the busier hours; i.e. running on the track instead of going on the treadmill, etc. They offer lots of classes as well, but I haven't gotten a chance to try them yet. I'm planning on trying to catch a Zumba class one of these days. The BF plays basketball a lot here, but that is definitely where this gym lacks order. There are sometimes groups of people that will hog the court and not be fair with allowing everyone the chance to play. It gets a bit "heated" and I feel like one day may break out into a huge fight; which could easily be prevented by just setting up a type of list that makes things fair for everything there ... like how they do the machines. Unsure why they haven't had anything set in place for that yet.

I am writing this review as someone who is very familiar with swimming. Several members of my…read morefamily were competitive swimmers for many years, so I understand the importance of consistency, proper technique, and quality instruction. When we first enrolled with British Swim School, we were extremely pleased. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and consistent, and our child progressed quickly. We had complete confidence in the program and would have gladly given it a five-star review. Unfortunately, our experience has changed dramatically. The pool where we attended lessons experienced ongoing issues that resulted in most classes being canceled throughout December. While this was frustrating, we understood that it was beyond British Swim School's control. We remained loyal customers because we believed in the program and were very happy with the instructors. Since then, however, there has been an almost complete turnover of instructors. Nearly every time we attend a lesson, there is someone new teaching the class. The consistency that is so critical to learning proper swimming technique has disappeared. Instead of continuing to improve, my child has actually regressed. Skills that had been developed through months of quality instruction have deteriorated because each instructor teaches differently and there has been no continuity. Rather than reinforcing good technique and building on previous lessons, the constant changes have undermined the progress she had already made. What is most disappointing is that I reached out to British Swim School multiple times to discuss these concerns and requested a call from a member of the management team. Unfortunately, I never received any follow-up. Our experience went from a program that I would have enthusiastically recommended to one that I can no longer recommend. It's disappointing to see what was once an excellent program decline so significantly in just a few months.
