    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 have been a member of this gym for more than ten years. However, in recent years I find myself…read moremore in agreement with Eliza G (Jun 9 25) who wrote: they only care about money and don't take members seriously. I had questions regarding options and changes to my membership and the manager Frances Frierson gave me a song and a dance "we'll get back to you". I waited several days, then went again in person and still could not get answers. Based on their their lack of caring regarding a member who still was looking to keep a membership, I decided to cancel instead-- why should I be loyal when they obviously didn't appreciate my long time membership and recommendation for them?

    When I joined NBI Fitness, my goals were to learn the best way to tone and maintain after reaching…read moremy desired weight. While I enjoy the gym, I needed to work with a trainer to establish routines that were effective and that would help me to meet my goals. From the time I reached out to get more information, I was extremely pleased with Gilbert's immediate response and in his attention to detail when working through my regimen with me. He is a professional who obviously cares a lot about the work he does and about his clients. I have the pleasure of working out with Trinnie. She is fantastic! I learn something from her during every single workout. She is extremely knowledgeable and shares a lot of information on nutrition and fitness. She makes excellent recommendations and has given me so many new ideas on how to frame nutrition/workouts, etc. What I first considered to be an indulgence (I've been a gym member and I've worked with trainers - I could have tried on my own) turned out to be the best investment I could have made in my health and fitness.

    Gil has been fantastic! Went to him on a recommendation from a friend whose results I was impressed…read moreby. After a decade of being overweight since college and having tried numerous times myself, I decided to get serious and get a trainer. Within 5 months of working with Gil, I reached my goal weight and dropped 45 lbs! On top of that, strength grew tremendously. Went from getting exhausted at the thought of a pull up to doing 10 pull ups in a row with ease. Muscle definition and size has grown quite a bit and clothes fit much better now. Dropped 5 waist sizes on my pants and when from a size L/XL to a S/M. It feels good trying on slim fit clothes and they fit well. All my friend and family has been commenting on how much weight I lost and how much better I look. Highly recommend Gil and have been recommending him to everyone.

    I signed up for Crossfit Giant with a Groupon back in May, and I'm still receiving Spam mail and…read moreoffers to join their gym until now even though I've applied blocks and filters in my email relating to their emails; they regenerate new emails through their Wodified app. Where do I start with my horrible experience with this box? I really dislike the owner Tarzan. He nickels and dimes people, and is just a terrible business person. He wasn't straightforward with any of the prices or rules relating to gym prices. I signed up for the $99 deal with unlimited two months to any of the Giant boxes (Edgewater and Englewood). I show up to a foundation class (beginner's) even though I've been Crossfitting for multiple years, and he sends me an invoice for another $200 for the class a week after I took my first beginner's class. What? I called the gym in advance and spoke with him on the phone before I attended the class, and he never mentioned that to me on the phone or in person while I was in the class he was coaching. This box does not make you sign any liability waivers like every other Crossfit box does. (Lawsuit waiting to happen...) Instead, Tarzan wants to manually confirm you've finished an On Ramp/foundations course with the previous box you were at. I have 8 email correspondences with him regarding this, and he snapshots emails of previous clients that haven't done this to send to me as proof. That's cool, not. His gym in Edgewater is overcrowded, so he tries to redirect as much traffic as possible to his Englewood gym. That's great but I didn't sign up to CrossFit in Englewood, I live in Edgewater and that's where I want to work out. He wouldn't accept this until I finished the Foundations class... I wouldn't give this gym another hour of my time, much less a monthly membership.

    Always wanted to try crossfit but was hesitant due to the cost and honestly I was a little…read moreintimidated. Came across a groupon for Crossfit Giant and finally decided to give it a try. I have been working out all my life and without hesitation I can say this is the most intense experience of any I've tried before. As difficult as the workouts are I find myself looking forward to my next class and I can't say that at all about my regular gym. Great locations in Edgewater and Englewood Thanks Tarzan, Lana & Josh for helping this crossfit newbie get off the treadmill and motivated again!

    First time going to Retro Fitness, and I was expecting the usual hassle with overpriced day passes…read morelike other gyms. 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! The gym is very clean, well-maintained, and has a great atmosphere.

When I recently visited(July), the mold smell had decreased, but the floors still hadn't been repaired, causing dust to fly everywhere. Despite a long time passing, management only expected understanding from its members instead of fixing the issues, which led me to cancel my membership. ​However, I found out I had already been charged for June and July without even realizing it. I exchanged emails with the Assistant Manager regarding this issue, but she refused to provide a refund for those months, strictly citing their policy. I told her I understand their stance, but in fairness, I would be leaving a review about this experience. I have been a member here for over 5 years, but in the end, it is clear that they do not care about their members' health or safety. Horrible facility management and completely unfair billing. Avoid this place.

    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.

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.
