    i've been a member for years and they really, REALLY make an effort to make this place as good as…read moreit can be. Always have. Even when freezing my membership during Lockdown and other times i couldn't afford it between gigs. Sure they inadvertently overcharged me for seven months recently by accident (and I didn't follow up) but it only amounted to $200 or so dollars total. So i asked myself: when does life become more important than money? Here. And the monthly charges are indeed hefty but I've never had a run in with rude employees, busted or rude employees of contract switcheroo's - all of which you find at other gyms. So i look at this way: as we get older, we exercise or we're going to have problems sooner. I'm past the old fifties and this could be my last active decade. Our phones are softening us up and not for good but there's also age so why not go out spinning, lifting and grinnin'! And another positive observation, Ace - how they do it here - I can't tell you but daily, they're mixing kids, adults, the elderly and every stripe of our cultural landscape together under one roof without any apparent issues at all. That alone is worth whatever they charge. We could all learn from this. Reminds me of my beloved Denmark. Normalcy, kindness and respect. It's nice to go to a place that's as much Peace Time as Exercise Time which of course makes Lifetime. Yes it's not cheap but if you want cheap, you become cheap. And investment here isn't subject to risk. You know those annoying brokerage or investment caveats? Not here: you put in the lifetime, you extend the life. And get this Yelp of an adage of mine: a gym is one of the few investments of time where if you honestly put the work in, you honestly get results. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about! Personal growth, Baby! Ah Rudyard Kipling. And you can't script this. I'm doing pectorals like Ren and the next thing I know, a phone call comes in from a Summit number and who is it? Berkeley Heights Life Time! "Sir um is this Charles Savoth?" "Why yes", says I. "Well someone returned your credit card at the front desk!" Honest members, honest gym, honestly I'm not the sharpest "bulb" in the gymnasium firmament! But really are bulbs sharp? I don't know but I'm happy as a clam Lifetime has my back, my Buddha front and my slippery plastic! And clams are happy - they're always smiling. Again personal growth on a mollusk-u-lar level!

    Nice gym, had everything you could ask for! Bad part is the price. The cost for one person is…read more189.00 a month. They do have a salon, steam rooms, sauna, indoor and out pools. Cafes and if you get their cup you get free refills. Ample parking and child care services.

    My boyfriend and I loved this gym from the moment we first visited! We were on the search for…read morepowerlifting gyms near Rutgers and came upon Chiseled last June. We are neither from the New Jersey area, but always make the 1.5 hr drive from PA to train here along with our squad. This gym caters to powerlifters, weightlifters or anyone who's into heavy lifting, but there are cardio equipment in the back if you prefer to be a bunny haha. There's 4+ squat racks, 2+ benches, Olympic bars, stiff bars, bumper plates, Olympic plates and a bunch of accessory machines. The owner also offers boxing classes. Hiroshi (owner) is probably my favorite part of this gym. He loves the gym, the people and watching everyone lift. He sure is intimidating because he'll literally watch you, judge your form, but will give you advice on what you can improve on. However, he won't judge you if you don't do things the old school way as he learned from back in the day. The prices here are also super reasonable. I believe it is $23/m and $10 for walk-ins.

He is actually a quality personal trainer. If you're looking for one on one training or small group, the body shop studio is for you. They do not offer classes nor is there a membership fee.

I found out about The Shop from my middle school basketball coach, and initially started training with Mike to put on some muscle and maybe get a little quicker on my feet so I would be competitive in high school basketball. Fast forward four years, and I intend to dedicate the rest of my life as a dietitian to helping others become healthy and reach their goals, the same way Mike help(s)(ed) me reach mine. I went from 114 lb. "skinnyfat", one of the most unathletic people on the face of the planet to 150 lb and being the strongest kid on the team in less than a year. Put in the work, and Mike will help you learn, push you on days when you're not feeling it and reach your goals. In a field where so many are inept, Mike lives the lifestyle, (thought he was absolutely massive when I first met him, still do) is super knowledgeable, and doesn't give you pseudoscience b.s. that so many others do. Whether your goal is be more athletic and maybe run "suicides" faster for sports, lose a few pounds for the summer or compete in a physique show, this is the place to be to reach that goal.
