I highly recommend Fitness 121 Personal Training. I followed Beth Hendler, an outstanding personal…read moretrainer with whom I have been working for over 3 years,, when she moved here several months ago, and I am very happy with the facility, the equipment and the personnel. The facility is immaculately clean, open and airy. The trainers are all friendly and professional, as are the owners/managers, Frank and Francesca Pucher. 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!

So, I'm very suprised to be the first one to write a review on these guys. First, let me say, this…read moreis not a gym, it's a personal training studio. That being said, prepare to sweat. 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.

I have been a member now for over a year and let me just say it is the best part of my day... even at 5:15am! The coaches and members are encouraging and supportive! This is a judge free zone!!

Empyrea Group Training will change your body and mind for the better, rest assured! No matter what…read moreyour goals are; fat loss, building muscle, endurance, general health maintenance: the results you get at Empyrea will not disappoint! What sets this place apart is trainer/founder Carl Grande's endless dedication, optimism, and responsiveness. He fine-tunes workouts and nutrition for clients on a personal level, is an incredible communicator, and is always fun and creative. You'll have a wonderful time getting fit! His positive attitude rubs off on the small group of clients you will work out with, and the group becomes a community of confidants for you who will know you and encourage you week after week. That small group setting really sets Empyrea apart from other gyms. If you need a bit more encouragement and social interaction to keep you motivated to work out, look no further! This is where you want to invest in yourself. Additionally, you'll receive a lot of education about fitness techniques and equipment, which if you didn't have much practical fitness knowledge to start with, will give you a great foundation of what to do if you want to be a member of other commercial gyms. There is an emphasis on the importance of foam rolling and stretching to aid in muscle recovery, and you will notice after a few workouts just how critical this phase is each time you come back for a new class. The combination of results, knowledge, and confidence you gain at Empyrea cannot be beat. I have worked out with Carl for nearly a year now with the goal of maintaining my ideal weight while gaining more muscle and toning up. I have never looked or felt better! And I love the group of people I work out with. You really come to admire them and cheer each other on. I guess my only complaint is that my results have been so good that I need to buy a new wardrobe to accommodate the positive changes in my body shape, but I guess that's a great problem to have!

I love the results. I'm confident this place will help me meet, maybe even exceed, my goals!

As someone who's always been passionate about health and comes from an athletic background, I was…read morehonestly pretty skeptical of trainers and gyms. I never loved the idea of someone hovering over me one-on-one while I struggled to lift 50 pounds over my head. That's exactly why Rebel's semi-private training model has worked so well for me. Typically, there's one trainer working with about 3-5 people, which creates the perfect balance of guidance, independence, and motivation. Some days it even turns into a one-on-one session depending on attendance -- but even then, it never feels like the awkward, overly intense private training I've experienced elsewhere. If you want constant hovering, Rebel may not be your thing (though they do offer private sessions). But if you're skeptical of gyms or trainers and want a smart, supportive middle ground, this place is incredible. What really keeps me coming back is how every single session is different. I've been training here for over a year and I've never repeated the same workout. The creativity and thought behind the programming is impressive and keeps me motivated to stay consistent and continue building strength. Kevin has been phenomenal. He somehow knows exactly what my body needs -- it's almost telepathic. Whether it's addressing weaknesses, building strength, or adapting to how I'm feeling that day, he's always spot-on. Recently, I pulled my back doing something as simple as bending over to put something in my daughter's backpack, and I knew a Rebel session would help loosen things up and get me back on track (and prevent that dreaded "about to sneeze" back pain ). I also really appreciate how respectful they are of time. I can say, "Kevin, I've only got 40 minutes," and he'll say, "Perfect -- let's go," get me out in 30, and I feel just as good as I would after an hour session. That flexibility is huge. Thank you, Rebel, for keeping me motivated, strong, and consistent -- even with an erratic schedule. You're truly amazing.

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.

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.
