The BEST gym I've EVER been to!! Came here everyday during my vacation here in Jersey (from…read moreCalifornia) just because I knew they had everything I needed anytime I needed it. I was even able to get my local Jersey friends to sign up for a membership. Ernie and Paul were so incredibly nice and helpful (as were the rest of the staff I encountered). When my boyfriend and I finished our workout the first day, Ernie ran to his car to give us brochures and maps of things to do nearby and in Philly! So nice!! I don't know if it's just an east coast thing, but I have never seen a gym with a full movie cinema (no seats, just cardio machines while you watch). They even show new releases. This gym is VERY spacious with the biggest turf I've ever seen provided by a gym. They even have dumbbells that go along A WHOLE WALL of the gym all the way up to 125 lbs and 4 squat racks!! For the ladies new to the gym and little insecure about working out in front of people, there is a legit WOMEN'S GYM right when you enter the locker room area. It's a closed off area of the gym where you can work out and feel confident in doing so. Whole gym is constantly being cleaned and there are many stations that provide lemon-scented wipes with a trash bin under to keep everyone accountable of keeping their areas clean :) Men's and women's sauna rooms are separate (inside locker rooms) and have a flatscreen TV in both. Edge Fitness is really one of the main reasons I'll miss it here! Thank you Edge!!

Bodyblast personal training…read more I have been with the gym for about 3weeks. The gym experience, all around has been great. The Coaches and trainer have taken the time to explain and guide you at every step. The gym availability is great for busy people.I would recommend any one who needs to make a life change and the accountability aspect to come see them. They are all so warm and welcoming.

I signed up for BodyBlast twice when it was housed in Weston Fitness, and both times I had a…read morefantastic experience. The program includes nutrition counseling, a meal plan, and personal training, all tailored to specific goals. From what I've seen of other programs, BB is unique in that at no point will you be told, "You're a female, so you shouldn't ____," and the training is not All BOSU All The Time. There's some real weight, valuable weight training from trainers who have actually studied how the body works and didn't just download a certificate from the internet. My first time with BB, because I was interested in fat loss I was given a high protein-low carb diet, and because I was interested in limiting my intake of animal protein Stephen offered a modified vegan plan. Then I was matched with a trainer who made me feel 100% comfortable as a gym newbie, and who showed me a lot of useful exercises including how to properly perform a squat. He also let me know plenty of times that it was OK if I had one cheat meal per week and didn't lecture when I told him it was pizza. I didn't start seeing real results until much later in that year, when I was long off the official program and began treatment for hypothyroidism and PCOS, but I took what I learned from them - especially the importance of form - and it changed my body in surprising ways. I was the fat kid growing up, so to be told I "looked athletic" and "looked like I worked out" was shocking. A couple of years later, I decided I wanted to start lifting heavy and went back for more. This time, I told Stephen I wanted to learn deadlifts and barbell squats, and he immediately pointed to a trainer who was excited about training a girl to lift heavy things. This trainer showed me a lot of good strength exercises, got me on a 5x5 program, and maniacally laughed as he loaded up weights for me. I saw incredible results in a short time - both in strength gain and fat loss. For a number of reasons that have nothing to do with BB, I've had a tough time maintaining a routine for a couple of years, but I'm back in action these days and still keeping in mind the things that BB taught me: lift heavy, lift properly, eat protein, watch the carbs, keep it up. I may not be a stunning before and after montage - and I may never be - but this program truly did change my life.

I shouldn't even be giving one star. This corporation is only out to take your money. I worked…read morethere for nearly 2 years as a Master Trainer and I got fired and accused of stealing money from the company, because I had permission to add the client's 38 sessions he was going to lose upon termination of his term.

They will make it very hard for you to cancel, doesn't matter if you broke your spine. The equipment is filthy and old. The floors are filthy.

Echo Plaza is right outside my parent's neighborhood. My brother goes to this gym. From growing…read moreup in this area, this space has been a grocery store, a gymnastics center and is now a gym. They've kept the openess of the space, which is nice. The layout is a bit off as you have to either step into the cardio section between the small spaces between the machines or go to the end of the cardio section and slide through some weight benches to get in. It's just weird. I came here and paid $10 for a day pass just to workout during the holidays, so I will preface this by saying I've only been here twice. Both times were just ok. I got to get some cardio in to work off some of the Christmas cookies. There didn't seem to be adequate stretching space, as most gyms I've been to have a specific area for stretching (with bars, mirrors and some minor equipment). The set up just felt odd to me and the staff didn't seem too attentive nor look interested in answering questions about opening and closing times.

A simple phone request ignored, "Bah" "Humbug" your accountant said. The ghost of the holiday's past, I am paying for a membership that has not been used in years.

It took me a while to finally get around to writing this review. I waited for ever simply because…read moreI kept going back and forth on the rating. So here we go - my pros and cons Pros - Friendly and welcoming owner Mel greeted me and chatted while we waited for the class to begin. He is a very nice man and even made me laugh a few times. Plus for not having that 'gym machismo' factor. Pro - This workout is intense - I'm pretty fit, but I got my butt handed to me so much so that the next day I went out and purchased a fitbit heart rate monitor so I can see how close to cardiac arrest I am should I ever go back. Pro - This is a total body workout - strength, cardio, balance, they hit all the zones. Pro - First three classes are free - that is very generous, most places offer your first class and then you're on your own. Cons - There was no stretch what so ever. The class ended and everyone just left. I was kinda left there looking around like "is this it?" Mel said I was more than welcome to stay and stretch if I like, but they dont do it. I felt kinda odd since other's were coming in and so I just left. Cons - I am a person who need a class card. I travel a lot and so I purchase class cards so that I can use them when I'm in the area. This is the type of place that you need to buy a membership. I don't live in the area, but would love to work out here if I'm working in this part of Jersey. Cons - I hate putting this down as a con, but here goes. When this class was taking place we were just told to which exercises to do, there was no demonstration. I know what almost all of the names of things are but even so, there were two or three things that I wasn't sure what they were and I had to look at my fellow exercisers to see what they were doing. It would have been good to see something demonstrated or to have received some correction and adjustment to prevent injury. I would be back if they sold class cards and used something like #MindBodyOnline so I could see their schedule and book classes - but that is only if they sold class cards. If you are very very new to working out, you may find this to be an intensely challenging class.

Pros: -Open 24/7 -Lots of parking -Lockers -Clean, but not always sanitary looking. -Nice staff Cons: -No stairmaster -No TRX -No aerobic steps -No pylometric (jumping) boxes -No rowing machines -No lying leg curl machines -Terrible ellipticals -Gym matts with no sort of traction. I literally slide off sometimes. -The "room" with the mats is dark, barely any mirrors, and too small for more than 6 people -No kettle balls -The TVs are too far away for us myopic people (nearsighted vision) -The lockers are shaped weird. My gym bag won't fit unless I stuff it or invert it. Not fun if you have fragile things you don't want crushed. -The 4-way cable upper body cable machines were designed for tall men. I am short and I literally have to stand on the seat to reach the bars and sit down. I've used similar equipment in other gyms and I only ever had to tip toe. -The cable machines aren't labeled by weight, it's just 1, 2, 3... I'm suppose to assume? -Due to limited equipment, you'll find yourself waiting for equipment that other people hoard as they do several sets of exercises. It's rather annoying, but apparently I'm not allowed to "judge," right Planet Fitness? This franchise is literally a no frills kind of gym. I've paid $10 more (than the black card membership) in another gym in Chicago, and there was way more benefits (i.e. swimming pool, basketball court, pilates and yoga classes, kettle balls, daycare, separate studio rooms with mirrors and equipment galore, TRX, indoor rock climb, plenty of experienced trainers training clients and complimentary towels). Granted this is south jersey. Just for reference, I've also been a member at Virtua Health and Wellness Center, and this PF is not up to par :( The staff claimed there was a gym trainer. I see her here and there, but I have never seen her train a person. I rarely see any of the staff step out of the front desk to interact with customers. Not sure if they are shy or what not; but they seem nice for the most part. No one asks for any sort of feedback on how to improve the gym. Also, there's a noticeable atmosphere difference in south jersey from Chicago. In Chicago I felt way more motivated. There was an equal amount of men and women using equipment. I rarely see any ladies use resistance machines, just a lot of cardio bunnies. I know there are people in this gym who would LOVE to have one session with an experienced trainer to motivate them to step out of that cardio fence. Sometimes, some people need a little guidance, but there is no such guidance in this gym. Look elsewhere! It's not an absolutely terrible gym. I just get bored easily because it's very small and there really isn't a variety of equipment. The only real saving graces for this place is that it's open 24/7, its location and price. Since it's a franchise, I'm not sure if the owners/investors care to improve it.

They are loud and immature and congregate in the locker room and around all the weights and weight machines cell phones in hand. I felt like I was a chaperone at a middle school dance. On the way out I asked if all these teenagers are paying members and the employee said no, planet fitness lets them use the facilities without paying to the end of summer. (How fair is that for a full fee paying member, having to babysit someone else's kids?). If you are looking for an exercise venue I would advise spending the little extra to find a quality gym. Only adding 1 star because I have to.
