i've been taking classes with Carol for over 2 years now and I can't say enough about her. First…read moreof all she knows a plethora of different exercises which makes her classes very effective. I truly look forward to doing her zoom classes 3x week. She is also the kindest of individuals. When the war broke out in Ukraine, she donated her class earnings to them. I am eternally grateful for her balance exercises. Recently, I was carrying a glass table over my head walking down steps and slipped on a garden hose. I felt myself going down. Miraculously I rebalanced (an act of God and Carol's balance exercises) and did not fall!! As I watched the look on my friend's face of horror, he commented, "I saw you going down hard and I don't know how you were able to balance yourself. It's miraculous you didn't fall."

Carol is a wonderful personal trainer. She is truly an expert in her field…read more She will modify exercises to challenge and inspire you to work harder. I have only worked with her in a one-to-one setting, but I am sure she is amazing with a group. She knows how to work with both the young and the young at heart. I would highly recommend working Carol to anyone and everyone. You will love how you look and feel (although a tiny bit sore the next day is okay too).

Tracy has been training me for over a year. She is kind, easygoing, knowledgeable, patient, and a…read moregreat listener. She really takes the time to get to know you as a client and what your fitness needs and goals are. She writes individualized plans based on what you are capable of and how much you need or want to be pushed BEFORE you arrive at the gm. The workouts she writes contain a variety of exercises and are never the same. While you are working out, Tracy guides and corrects you, while also motivating you when you feel hopeless or just plain tired! Since she has had extensive training, she knows what you need when you come to work out with her more than you do! Yet she listens and pays close attention to what you have to say. I have learned so much about health and fitness from Tracy. Not only does she have vast knowledge of exercise and the way the body works, but she also knows just as much about health and clean eating. Tracy will work with you to make sure you are eating properly without lecturing you and making you feel like a terrible person if you eat something unhealthy. She provides realistic strategies and goals to help you eat better (so that you get the most out of your training with her) and offers recipes and helpful websites to get your body on track. What I like most about Tracy, however, is that she cares about her clients and makes you feel like you are a priority. If you have questions about health/fitness when you're not in the gym, Tracy is always quick to respond and provides thoughtful answers. When you are in the gym with her, her attention and focus is on you for the entire hour. I have had other trainers in the past, but I cannot recommend anyone better than Tracy Treible. She is a lifesaver!

Rich cares about seeing you do well and from my first session made me feel welcome. He has an easy going personality and cares abut his clients. He takes time to answer questions and genuinely wants you to succeed. As far as the workout goes, It's challenging. Lots of Sports athletic training drills mixed with some free weights and lots of gadgets LOL. Everything from medicine balls to ropes to TRX. There is definite variety and for the most part you wont get bored. (Except for lunges. I've never done so many lunges in my life lol) FYI: If you are expecting 1 on 1 personal training, this isn't it. While you will get 1 on 1 attention it isn't a private session. You are usually doing your own workout while others do their own workout. Usually the sessions are in small groups no bigger than 6. Rich acts more like a coach than a personal trainer. But trust me he's paying attention LOL The only drawback is that its very expensive to be a member. 130 a month for 3x a week is a lot. But to be fair the rates for places like this are about the same. This place is definitely worth checking out. It's a clean well-run facility managed and cared for by well-trained professionals.

I purchased my class conveniently in Groupon,…read more When me and the other person that bought the Groupon class, both of us were one of the few to start at this newly establishment, It was the right timing. I am very Thankful of Rich, he is not like other fitness trainers that dosent care and just wanted to get it over with, Rich on the other hand genuinely cares about his students to succeed, the month trial that he personally thought us, it really not only motivated me, but it motivated his class to reach their targeted goals.

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.

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.

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.
