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.

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.

I use to be a member here for many years and recently left to go to another much better gym in…read moreChester, after this place took new ownership. It was always overpriced for what it was, but since the new owner the price went up, the quality sharply declined, and all the great staff were let go. Members were promised new equipment and upgrades when Jeff (the new owner) took over but the only new equipment I ever saw was a new register and credit card machine up front. The building and equipment is in need of some serious renovation and cleaning, unfortunately I don't see that ever happening. The locker rooms are dank, broken, and severely outdated. The gym equipment and cardio equipment breaks regularly and instead of being replaced is simply removed. There is also a serious mold problem which has only gotten worse. Word around town is that MHRC is having serious financial troubles right now which is no surprise considering how the new owner is running this place. It really is such a same because there use to be a great community of local members many of which have left and gone to other gyms which are few a far between in this area. Steer clear of the this place and drive the extra 5 or 10 to another gym or tennis club near by.
