I've been a member for awhile now and have visited all three locations. Lake Hopatcong being…read moreclosest to my house, Rockaway being closest to work, and the new location in Stanhope. Lake Hopatcong is totally no nonsense. Old school weights and equipment. A bit snug if it is a little crowded but gets the job done. No real locker room and no showers. Rockaway is the largest of the three. A bit newer equipment and more spread out. This is the location I visit the most as I go after work, never feel cramped in there. No formal locker room, but there are lockers on the main floor. There are 3 changing rooms and 1 shower room... I can't imagine that being a bit hectic for the before work crowd. Stanhope is the newest location. a bit smalller than Rockaway, but a nice layout. All newer equipment, clean, nice layout. Only been there a handful of times. This location has a formal locker room, with separate changing room and 3 shower stalls in the mens locker room. Cant speak for the womens locker room. Overall, Stanhope is a very nice spot. My only gripe, and it is with all 3 locations are the treadmills. Lake Hopatcong, can barely get them to operate. Rockaway, 1 is broken, 1 has a deck that isn't level and is broken, the rest are ok. Stanhope has the newest ones, but of the 8, 5 had slipping belts that make it dangerous to walk on, let alone try to run or jog, one is super noisy. I get it, these gyms are geared more towards lifting weights and body building, not oblivious to that. A day of maintenance on the treadmills would get 5 stars. Aside from the treadmills, I really like all 3 locations.

Black Bear fitness Kickboxing bootcamp can definitely be a butt kicking class…read more This location is still closed indoors because of COVID, but that hasn't stopped then in the current outdoors eating phase of the pandemic to offer outdoor work outs, properly socially distancing. Talk about the extra sweat you put out when there is no AC to help cool you down during activity. This 4th of July weekend I happened to be with my brother and his wife/my sister-in-law was taking advantage of their outdoor morning Kickboxing bootcamp. She knows I love a good workout and don't shy away, even when on vacation to get one in. They had the extra space so for a small cost I was able to lock in the spot and attend as a visiting guest of hers. The young lady that instructed the class [daughter of owners] was super energetic and engaged throughout the entire workout showing and motivating all to put out what they could and more. If I lived close to this location, I would totally be making it my home gym. I could only image how great all on the inside is, but if the workouts are as good/better than the one I had outdoors, I'd be hooked for sure. For those that are local and looking for a home gym, look no further...Black Bear Fitness fits the bill for any level of fit you are or want to be. Thanks for the great experience! [7.4.20]

My doctor requires yearly quantitative "Fitness and Mobility Tests" which have shown continuous improvements and is very happy with the gym that I have picked. The environment is amazing and feels like family.

I have seen major improvements not only in strength and stamina but also balance and coordination.

It is not a hyperbole when I say that every single friend that has, or had, a membership with this…read moregym has experienced multiple issues whether it be wrongful charges, overcharges, or issues with the membership cancellation process. From what I have seen and experienced they love to pull this cute trick where if you notice a charge and confront them it gets resolved relatively quickly. Then they wait, like a predator stalking its prey. And after a month or two...THEY POUNCE and you, valued customer, get wrongfully charged again, WHAT A DOOZIE. Now THIS is when it gets particularly fun for you, you silly Billy. As you proceed to get wrongful charges over the course of your subscription it gets progressively more difficult to resolve the issue, don't worry you're in luck, you get to try and resolve these issues with Michael and Ron...WOAH. Extremely helpful individuals who, if you're truly lucky, will ghost and block you for pointing out their questionable business practices. After some time you may realize your money is lost to the black abyss, otherwise known as real time fitness, but who needs their hard earned cash when you have a membership to the bestest gym in the whole wide world! This is Gort signing off, love you Michael and Ron Signing back on to respond to dearest Michael, Greetings! Its nice to meet you but its even better to meet me, you have stolen from multiple friends of mine or at least made attempts to. And I must say it is incredibly interesting that you responded to this review that criticizes your business in record time, yet you have no issue with ghosting patrons when they reach out about issues of overcharges which is incredibly serious. I suggest fixing your business model.

Terrible canceled membership and still charge me for 2 more months…read more Equipment is ancient some totally rusty and just thrown together.

My friend went to the free class at the new women's gym and was planning to join, before she could even do so they CHARGED HER CC WITHOUT CONSENT!!!! When she finally got in touch with them to resolve, Joe called her a liar and YELLED AT HER! I can't believe this - I was going to join too but now I'm so disgusted with the unprofessional behavior, I wouldn't dare. If that's how you treat a prospective client, how's it going to be once they already have your money? Joe - If you are trying to increase your market to include more women, maybe you should learn how to listen, speak to and treat women first.

My first barre class ever. I thought it was a great workout. Good environment/space. All body parts…read morewere focused upon through the workout. Legs , arms, stomach etc.. I did feel it the next few days..and I felt it to be an advanced class, quite fast paced and intense. Instructor demonstrated move like twice, then walked about the class, she talked constantly throughout the whole workout class motivating and guiding. If I wanted to see if I was doing correctly I could not as she already had demonstrated quickly then walked around. I could kinda look at other participants but they all were doing different. Like at their own pace and limits. The Instructor did not go to anyone to guide them individually so I believe that's where it fell a bit short for me. A quick remark here and there would be appreciated. I was trying to keep up but not sure I was doing current move correctly. I believe a beginners class would be appropriate. There is none, just do what u can kinda thing, so at times I just had to stop and try to reset to make sure I was doing right.. I like to know my form is good as I know if my body isn't in correct position i can feel some joint aches or muscle strain the next day or not get the results wanted moving forward. For me, I think once I know the proper way to do the moves, I can build upon that as far as intensity, speed and getting the most out of the workout. I plan to try again to see if it's for me, perhaps second time around, now that I know what to expect, may be helpful before committing to a membership or this type of class vs yoga, gym, or something a bit more individualized.
