I have been on this fitness / nutrition journey for 4.5 years now at this location. Great program…read morefor anyone, especially anyone who hasn't focused on nutrition or ftiness in some time. Group sessions are great and you get out of it what you want to put into it. Participants help each other in the gym and beyond in ways I never expected when I started. The journey of self improvement is not something you get quickly but over time with consistency. My rating of fours stars is simple....myself, the people attending, the trainers and owner continue to reach for improvement and that fifth star every day.

It is also a workout for everyone. You can tailor the workouts to make them a little harder or you can modify them to make them easier. I've been going there for 3 years and I still get a great workout everyday. Also the staff and the trainers are extremely friendly and want to help you in any way they can. They also have some great deals, so you should definitely come try them out, if you're looking for really great workout experience.

I was at Spa23 for 4-5 months as I had to shift to focus on low impact workouts. They offer classes…read moreand have a swimming pool which was what I was looking for. Their membership is high if you compare it to other places in the area that offer the same exact, and even better, classes - at the time I joined, I did not know the Wayne Community Center offered those, and I wish I had because they charge 50% less than Spa23 and have amazing trainers. In all honesty, I'm disappointed at how they handled my last billing. I had decided to set up personal training sessions with a trainer named Ricky, I trusted him and my mistake was not asking questions when we sat down to sign the contract, however, as an employee, he should've made sure I understood what I was signing - he did not explain what his rates were, nor how much I'd be billed for the month, so they billed me $212! I had already moved and canceled my membership with them, but they still billed my account. The person that reached out to me to explain the situation was nice, but no resolution was given - I'm now 45 minutes from Spa23, my money was never refunded, and credits for a different service can't be given. I know people who had gone to Spa23 and ended up leaving, both trainers and members, due to their dislike of it and how much of a "chain management" it had, but I truly didn't think I'd experience that firsthand.

I use to belong here many years ago, I left because the cardio area, where I spend 80% of my time,…read moreon the treadmill was so hot, even though I mentioned it to management many times... after probably 8 years I decided to check them out again...they assured me everything was updated since I was last there... NOPE. Still a significant difference in temperature when you go into the cardio area, probably 20 to 25 degrees warmer than everywhere else.. Its almost tropical. It stinks because rest of gym is quite comfortable, nice and cool. Why wouldn't they invest in some ceiling fans to circulate the air at least?? at the rates they charge? when I joined my current gym I made a comment about the temps there as well... about a week or 2 later, they went and installed fans in every corner of the gym to circulate the air. I was impressed. My current gym is much smaller, their fees are more than half of Spa 23, and they are 24/7 which is huge for me, and its nice and cool. Their treadmills even have little fans built in which are pretty strong. So I will not be returning here... too bad, they're equipment is pretty impressive.

Folks.... I've been with this gym for years... I had a complaint about the people who work in the…read moreClifton location, which is still unresolved. Parsippany is my main location that collects my payment. But as of recent I think it's time to move on from this gym facility. Bad enough the sauna is always not working, the rest rooms are always nasty. They don't carry towels for purchase. They run out of preworkout. The females that are upstairs watching the children aren't on the friendly side. But even after all of this I still pay my membership fee, purchase water, preworkout and at times try to purchase towels because I'm always on the go for work. But today took the cake.... The female is the kids room called and said my child wanted to leave. This call came 10 minutes before she was about to close. So I decided to to take my child with me I was finishing my workout ( which I have to complete my workout because I'm a Diabetic and my life depends on my schedule) I sat my child out of the way, right in front of me. I was working out and the employee walks over and tell me I have to leave because I have my child with me. I looked that them and tried to tell them I will just let me finish my last 2 sets. She then insisted on me leaving, in which I said "ok" very angered because every situation is different. But for them to always be pushy about th time for the kids to leave and giving us a. 2 hour time limit for you to take your child and leave. This isn't professional or considerate because pushing people to hurry their workout up or else they have to go. Especially since according to the human body for a diabetic it takes at least 35/45 minutes during/after cardio for there sugar levels to stabilize/drop to normal which would possibly leave me a hour left to workout which isn't enough time. As I have paid for other day gym passes and have had my child with me, they extended the opportunity to me just as long as I took responsibility for her and she stayed out of the way especially since my disability seems I need to workout extensively ( which is stretching, loosening up my shoulder joints and left foot since I've had serious surgery on those parts of my body) Folks I say all this to say unless this place becomes more kid friendly ( kids room open longer for parents) or make sure inventory is full at all times. I will be taking my money elsewhere and you should too! It isn't disability friendly or really kid friendly.

There is plenty of equipment (cardio, resistance training, etc) and it is laid out in in such a way that multiple clients can be working out with trainers or independently while a group class is going on, without anyone feeling crowded. The overall vibe is of people who are there to be healthy and to work while also having fun!

Fitness 121 is a friendly, upscale (but far from stuffy) facility where everybody knows your name. The attitude there is so much more about how you feel than how you look. They teach you exercises that prepare you for life, not just to make your pecs and biceps look better (although, that's an added bonus!). Shoveling snow never felt better. I didn't even throw my back out this year thanks to their training techniques. The clientelle there is mostly ranging in age from low 40's to low 60's, but since some of the trainers are former camp counselors, I have actually had my 8 year old training there as well. It's been a great confidence booster! i can't say enough about the friendly atmosphere, the trainers are always smiling, and even the ones who don't work with you go out of their way to get to know at least who you are. I started there 2 years ago weight 240 lbs, and now, at 41 years old, I'm now in the best shape of my life thanks to them.
