The Thursday 6p HITT class was great! It was a quick, efficient, functional workout. The 30 minutes is all you need and is great for someone with a busy schedule as I. Our instructor was great , left enough time in between for enough rest to catch your breath without letting it interfere with the intensity of your workout. Overall 10/10 would recommend! read more

Miss Erica was a wonderful instructor and she made the experience fun so I felt comfortable and less intimidated on the fabrics. This was liberating and I recommend this to anyone who is considering it! read more

I visited Kinetics and took an aerial yoga class. I had never done aerial yoga so I was inexperienced and didn't know exactly what to expect. I was not disappointed. The instructor (Ms. Erica) was clear, informative, and so kind. She was awesome and really made the entirety of the experience enjoyable. She was diligent about providing step by step instructions on how to use the hammocks safely and deliberately. I also found out that Kinetics offers a 2 week trial with unlimited classes for just $27 (a GREAT deal)! Those classes are an hour long on Mondays and Tuesdays. Monday classes are aerial yoga while Tuesday includes a mix of Pilates. They also have a little cafe area at the entrance of the establishment. They offer food (I didn't try any but it sure smelled good). I did try some sorrel (a hibiscus based tea) and it was super tasty. read more

I decided I have to write this review because you don't know what you have until it's lost. I recently moved to jersey city and I'm not exaggerating when I say the most heartbreaking part is that I had to leave kinetics. I started here about January 2018 and it was literally life changing. I had moved to highland park and recently started a new job in the same town so I walked past kinetics everyday. I have always had trouble keeping up with any kind of exercise because I just don't enjoy it but kinetics changed that for me in all aspects. I walked in one day and started hot yoga because it was always something I wanted to try. Every instructor I had (Marcus, Erica, and Jaclyn) was engaging, inviting, and supportive. It felt so good to change my lifestyle with kinetics. I was going 4-5 times a week. Erica eventually convinced me to try aerial and acro yoga and I have been hooked since. I was pushed outside my comfort zone and even participated in street fair performances. The culture at kinetics is so warm and friendly. Erica and Bernadette become more the instructors for me and I genuinely miss them in my life. From the instructors to the members and even the owner Metra genuinely care about your health and progress. Moving to jersey city I did not think I would have this much trouble finding a gym/ studio that I love. There is literally nothing like kinetics. If you live in the area try it! Metra please open a location in jersey city! I'll be your first member :) read more

Although I do love how easy to navigate and sign up for classes on their website. I wasn't mind paying the higher price to attend a spectacular, professional and fun Zumba work out class. I have attend various Zumba classes, this one at Kinetics was by far the worst experience. One hour after Zumba class, I did not sweat at all. The instructor - Amy Dixon simply enjoyed herself swing gently here and there throughout the entire 50 min ( I couldn't even finish the entire session because it was so boring, lack of energy and just simply wasting my time). She did not make any eye contact with students, making little steps on the right on the left. That is not Zumba. I am very disappointed with their Zumba class. I wonder what is everyone raving about this workout place of? read more

Kinetics has changed my life. It has changed the way I work out. Now I know to do it the right way. I used to poo poo personal training, but no more. After two years of it, I'm taking a break and joined the unlimited classes program. I love TRX, yoga & bootcamp (but that not so much :-)) I also love the Antigravity Yoga, but have done less of that lately. Metra rocks!!! She's got it!! read more

I booked a reservation here for 4 peple on a Sunday morning for the fundamentals Aerial yoga class with Carl Martin from 12:30-1:30. The receptionist here was super helpful and friendly in helping me and I very much appreciated her patience as I was arranging this class as a surprise for my friends so I wasn't able to register them online, which is out of their normal practice. We showed up a little bit earlier to fill out the form and we walked over to the aerial yoga studio-- they own two studios adjacent to each other. The class didn't start exactly at 12:30 as their was some set up involved in terms of matching the yoga hammock to the height of each student. I was told that you have to take the introductory class before you can take more advanced aerial yoga class so I wasn't expecting to do any "cool" tricks, but this class was actually a lot more intense than I expected. Carl, the instructor, was super peppy yet patient and did a great job. We got to go upside down in several different positions as well as go high up into the air (a little trickier) and it really gives you a good workout, especially with your arms and core. I didn't expect to enjoy it so much but I would definitely come back to another class! Also, because this class started a little later, we didn't finish until around 2 so be sure to have some leeway with your schedule when booking this class! read more

By far this gym is the best I've been to....I love the staff!! The classes are great!!! My results are phenomenal and the attention I received to help achieve those results was truly genuine and motivational. Still even now after months of completing my weight loss challenge, they show interest and reach out to me to make sure I don't lose track of my progress. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone! GO KINETICS!!! read more

Tried a bootcamp class with Tracey- loved the intensity and variety of moves. Definitely a great workout!

UGHH!!!! Miss this place really wish I could bring it with me everywhere I go. I only tried Kinetics Flow so this review is for the antigravity aerial yoga classes. Used a month groupon and went as much as possible. The groupon was only for the fundamentals and antigravity aerial classes but those two were great for the month trial as an antigravity amateur. You learn something new almost every class as there are so many different inversions and techniques so only having those two classes was just fine for me. I found the whole concept of antigravity itself a different mentality than regular mat yoga and was frustrated at first because you are getting hit in muscles you don't use in regular yoga. I even expressed these concerns after my second class as I thought it was just not for me. As I started going more and more (I went at least 2-3 times a week) I found myself getting more comfortable with the rope and finding the ~zen yoga in it. Once you get comfortable you can utilize the rope for stretching your body in just really amazing comfortable ways. The instructors are absolutely wonderful, I attended Bernadette's classes the most and she was so uplifting and relaxing. The environment is so friendly and I never felt judged or forced to push myself past my limit as Bernadette constantly reminded us that everyone is different. The antigravity aerial classes were really a great workout, I'm not sure the names of my instructors as I only went here and there, but found myself really sweating and using my core and arms and the instructors were fabulous as well. Get to know the people around you, it's still a new and growing route in yoga so everyone is learning and teaching. The instructors are so friendly and care about their students and I highly recommend the studio. read more

Started with an Aerial Groupon over a year ago and I haven't stopped. I practice aerial yoga, hot/warm yoga, and boot camp at Kinetics. The workouts are addicting, trainers are fabulous, and the Kinetics family is the best. I've made some of my greatest friends here. Aside from that, my body is in the best shape its ever been and I'm continuously being challenged. The trainers know my body, capacity, and how to effectively correct me. LOVE IT HERE read more

I wanted to try their 14 days for $14 program but the woman I was in correspondence with was very disinterested, unhelpful, and untimely. It was like pulling teeth trying to get information out of her. Each email was a sentence or two and so useless. She took days to respond. She did nothing to encourage and inform me of how to get started on their program. Poor customer service all around. read more

Misleading website says free consultation and trial workout but the trial workout isn't a class -- it is a 15 min session. Very misleading and bad customer service. They could have honored it but they didn't. Won't return read more

Yesterday I was surprised by a friend with an introduction to aerial yoga class! My class was from 12 to 1:30 PM with Carl. Both the receptionist and instructor were very welcoming to newcomers. I have never been in a class like this, but I have been in basic yoga classes before. The class started out slow and accommodated everyone's comfort and fitness level. Carl was very upbeat and extremely patient as some were upside down and others were in another move. The class went the full time and we were worn out and sweating. I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in aerial yoga or looking for something cool to do on a random afternoon. I would recommend that you are in athletic shape as the more advanced moves require a lot of core and arm strength. read more

Joined for 3 months, but didn't have a desire to return. The one on one training is fine but very, very expensive and although the classes were included in the price I found the schedule to be very limited. read more

Ok, so I am going to give my review on the Anti-Gravity Yoga classes I have been taking at Kinetics in Highland Park, NJ. As you all know I have extremely high blood pressure and I have been trying to find something that would incorporate my ability to do something healthy for mind and my body, as well as help to settle my blood pressure. I had bought into a pretty bad car accident this past year as well as I hadn't prepared for downstairs a you years back. Both of these injuries have created pain in my back, neck and causes a lot of discomfort with my sciatic nerve. Although I still go to the doctor and have my conditions monitored, most of the time their suggestions are to prescribe either muscle relaxers for pain medication. As a single mother to three children I cannot take muscle relaxer's as a preventative or a current fix because I need to be alert and obviously know what is going on with my children. With much of the same reasons, I cannot take prescription pain medication because of my children and because it makes me deathly ill. I have had the pleasure of taking a class with each of the instructors and I believe that they are all absolutely fantastic and knowledgeable. They push you without pushing you too much to allow you the opportunity to get to know your body more and get the most out of each class. They teach so well but on the very first class I was able to go upside down and felt affects almost immediately after class and into the next day. The stretching that I have done in the last several weeks has increased my flexibility more than it has been in such a very long time. In addition to that being able to allow my self to hang upside down with no pressure I'm just gravity realigning my spine it has significantly helped the pain in my lower back and my sciatic nerve to the degree that the one medication but I did take four more often then I should actually, Advil, has been cut into a fraction for usage. Mentally I feel so much more focused, my blood pressure's have been more stable, and I have an all-around amazing feeling in my body from flexibility and stretches. There currently is a Groupon that they have and it will allow you to try the class unlimited for a month that I highly suggest you purchase. I definitely love the feeling that my body and mind feel. Thank you Ann Marie Dooling read more

Aerial Yoga classes are so much fun, and yes they are work. Taking classes led by Carl and Erica, both very good -- encouraging, relaxed, and balanced. So while the classes are vigorous, they are calming. Also, when an exception is needed, they have flexibility. Having taken many classes over the years and taught yoga, I can say that's not necessarily the rule elsewhere. read more

I have been attending classes at Kinetics for five months. The instructors are great. They are very knowledgeable and provide close personal attention to each individual. I am very pleased with my results and am planning to continue. read more

The trainers and classes are great, though some are better than others. They will get you in shape and it's a fun, friendly atmosphere! I enjoyed my time there and will still drop-in on occasion. Also, if you expect to go in and the classes to start and end promptly, don't! When you go in, you will feel like you are entering a class already in progress and like you are leaving early when you leave. The class times are not real. They are general guidelines. It's more like bootcamp runs from 4:30-7 and you can go in for the time you want. That annoyed me too. Why advertise class times and not stick to them? This business also struggles in administrative arena. I've called and asked questions, asked questions at the desk about payments and about bringing guests, and I get different answers each time or the person at the desk isn't able to answer my questions. There always seems to be some confusion about pricing and a lot of the front desk staff isn't able to answer questions. It seemed like only the owner knew the answers which made me feel like maybe things weren't always the same customer to customer. Not every employee is trained to take weight or body measurements and there is A LOT of variation between employee when it comes to measurements. If you can handle those kinks on the business end, then I highly recommend the gym but the lack or organization did bug me a lot. read more

I signed up for a 6-week challenge after not having been to a gym in several years. I couldn't be more happy with the experience. They offer a variety of classes and class sizes are generally small, meaning you get lots of support from the trainers/instructors. They also take time to meet with you and customize a program based on your personal goals. I appreciate that the staff truly cares whether I show up. read more

This is definately a great place to go if you want to make changes. I joined three months ago and I am glad I did. This gym creates a community no judgement zone where support and accountability are a big part of your experience. read more

I'm not terribly happy with my experience with Kinetics. I purchased a Groupon for 5 antigravity yoga classes. When I tried to reserve a spot for class on the website, I was instructed to call the gym first to set up consultation. I met with one of the trainers a few days later to discuss my health goals etc. (this is pretty standard for most gyms) and when we were done she asked if I wanted to take the antigravity yoga class happening right then. I decided why not, and then proceeded to spend the next hour in class feeling completely nauseous. The instructor Carl was great, apparently hanging upside down for extended periods of time just doesn't agree with me. Obviously this isn't the gym's fault. The problem that I have is when I decided to try the class again a few weeks later (I wanted to see if the first class was a fluke and use my full Groupon) the trainer I met with initially must have saw me walking to class (the gym has two separate buildings), chased after me and stopped me as I was halfway in the building to tell me I should be attending the gym more. She meant it in a good natured way but it was a turn off, especially as there were no stipulations in the Groupon or gym regulations stating that I have to attend a certain amount. The second class left me more nauseous than the first. Some pros are the instructors are knowledgable and the facility is clean and well kept, but I don't think I'll be returning. read more

On May 11, 2013, I ran my first 5K. I was in shape, happy with my body, and after having left my corporate gig a few months earlier, was excited about a career change and what lay ahead. Three days later, on May 14, my dad suffered a strange fall out of bed that left him temporarily paralyzed from the neck down. It was a hard adjustment, even with the eventual blessing of him recovering much of his mobility, to now have to visit him in nursing care and take over responsibilities at home with my mom who has progressive memory issues. I stopped working out, stopped eating well, and the pounds packed on in my stress and worry, as well as substantial hair loss. In 2014, I added financial stress to my life as the result of an ill-fated move to Paris (hit my 401k to do so - - folks DO NOT TOUCH YOUR 401ks - you WILL REGRET IT!) to pursue an MBA only to have to abort that early due to my 3-year old son having some issues getting adjusted and the first terrorist shooting in January 2015. More weight (40+ pounds at this point), more just being totally out of it. Something had to change. I thank God that finally He moved things around in my life so that that change could happen. July 2016 was the start, when I accepted Metra Lundy's little Black Dress 21-Day Challenge and joined Team Kinetics! As the challenge moved on and pounds started to drop, the seeds of my long-held dream to run a marathon by the time I turned 50 began to take shape. Fast forward to April 9th 2017 and I was blessed to complete the Paris Marathon, returning to that beloved city with my son, now 6! Today (May 15, 2017) I turned 50 and I'm back to my fighting weight (all 40 pounds gone!) and feel better than I've felt in all my 50 years! I'm so grateful to Team Kinetics for the journey I've been on since walking through those doors last July! This is the BEST, MOST LOVING, MOST SUPPORTIVE Fitness - really LIFE & WHOLENESS - establishment on God's green earth. Getting back into shape, running the marathon, and falling in love with long distance running and warm yoga (their classes are exceptional) would not have been possible without Kinetics. Kinetics was the X factor. No class is ever the same and they know how to make it fun while still kicking your behind with EFFECTIVE workouts. I am forever, and utterly grateful to Metra, and the AMAZING instructors and all my fellow students. You rock!!! read more

Kinetics NJ is a great gym. All the instructors are helpful and understanding, while also pushing students to the limit so that they get the most out of their work out. They also have a range of activities and classes from personal training (I haven't partaken of that yet, but I will) to Zumba to TRX (suspension work). It is a small gym, but well appointed and the other students there are friendly, as well, which helps. Sometimes when walking into a smaller gym, it can by intimidating if it seems like all the other students know each other. But at Kinetics, everyone is friendly and open. I highly recommend the BOOT CAMP class that will get your blood pumping and your muscles aching. I've only been to the 6am classes and they're great, but they offer them in the afternoon, too. And the Zumba class taught by Metra is really great. Love the combination of music she uses. Overall, I look forward to going to work out at Kinetics. Win! read more

I have been attending classes at Kinetics since May, I have found the entire staff to be caring, helpful, and interested in my success. I have already lost weight, and see remarkable changes in my appearance. The other people in the case are also helpful and caring. I just love exercising at Kinetics! read more

I can't believe I've never tried Aerial Yoga or in my case Antigravity Fundamentals! The class I had today, Tuesdays at 12:15 was by far the best workout class I've ever had! I loved the instructor (I don't know her name), she was sweet, relaxing, and pain close attention to the students. It was my first time doing anything remotely off the ground and I was nervous at first but she made me feel very comfortable. When she dimmed the lights and turned on relaxing music, put on this eucalyptusy-type scent in the room and touched your spine, I seriously felt like I was at a spa. read more

If you are looking for a place to get fit, this is the place to go! Everyone here is helpful and compassionate and eager to teach members how to reach goals through mind/body connections. Training sessions are semi private or private, depending on your needs. The boot camp classes are very challenging, but the trainers are extremely considerate to beginners to help gain strength and form. The aerial yoga classes are awesome!! Try it! Kinetics is a place where you will find a true sense of community. The members encourage one another and since I've been attending ( since September'15) there has been some kind of fund raiser or food drive for families in need. read more
