Before I joined Planet Fitness in Fairfield, New Jersey, I was a member of LA Fitness. The LA…read moreFitness in Lake Hiawatha closed so I worked-out at the LA Fitness in Parsippany. Recently, I dropped my membership. You might ask, WHY? The pool and hot tub closed for weeks due to poor water management. Machines were shut down because they required repair and were not fixed in a timely manner. The eight showers were never all working at the same time and the air conditioning broke during the summer. These are the major reasons I gave up my membership but I could get picky and list more. Since I have joined Planet Fitness, their machines are all functioning. Most machines are relatively new. Patrons disinfect the apparatus after use which shocked me. The members are very respectful of others. The members for the most part do not sit on the machines with their Iphones. If you are not using the machine get off it. The gym is cleaned on a regular basis with numerous garbage cans throughout. You won't find litter on the floor. This gym is worlds apart from my LA Fitness experience. Thank God some people know how to run a gym.

If you're a black card holder seeking amenities, you WILL be disappointed! Do yourself a big favor and keep it moving to Cedar Knolls or Elmwood park. This place is trash.

Most recently, this past year, they probably got some change in management, because the place has been amazing! I come here even for the boxing conditioning classes every week and never had a problem with the trainers. When it comes to injuries and fixing my sciatica, an issue I have had over the past five years, I recommend seeing Hope. UFC Fit definitely takes pride in hiring passionate and considerate trainers. Hope has done nothing but ensure that my priorities are met and always takes the time to hear me out and make me feel a lot better! As for their customer service, I always go to Chris for an issue, one of the operations manager of the gym. I have had concerns this past year in regards to the cleanliness of the establishment and he has always made sure my needs are met. And if anyone is interested in getting a membership, Chris is the man to go to! Love this gym and would never imagine myself switching!

They will alter membership prices to make you feel like you're getting a better deal, until you're getting charged hundreds in "equipment fees" and no one can explain to you what those are. Anyways besides that, the facility is not well kept. The bathrooms, I don't think are even looked at, which tells you a lot about management and staff. I would take my money elsewhere!

The place was vibrant and staff were so friendly! This new owner has made this gym a nightmare. She is extremely rude, arrogant and only cares about making money and steeling it from people, even in the midst of the damn International PANDEMIC!!! When I signed up she had all these random fees that were completely unnecessary like maintenance fees, and when questioned about anything her answer is "I'm running a business here!" Owner knows nothing about fitness and has the audacity to try to criticize your workout routine in the most rude way, completely unprofessional! The showers are filthy and broken, the sauna and hot tub have been broken for years. They never answer emails. And when I tried to cancel my membership because I do not feel it is safe going to the gym to workout in a mask the owner says to me "Oh well that's no excuse people don't stop going to the gym during flu season" ???

His other instructor, Kate, has classes that are similar but mix is different: more aerobic and with strength mixed in. What I like is coed group classes are scheduled daily, last 1 hour, and always intense. Sometimes I learn new muscle groups I didn't know I had :) Each day's routine barely repeats from a prior day so never boring. The workout begins with a warmup followed by about 8 exercise routines. Repeat those exercises as many times as you can in 1 hour. Target is about three cycles. I generally complete 1 1/2 - 2 sets. Joe' routines emphasize modest weights with repetition, stretch, balance, and good technique. He spots when a particular exercise is unsuitable for me, and suggests something else without losing the pace of the workout. I value the personal attention in a group setting that keeps cost down. Clientele is mostly female, older Generation Z and Millennials of all ages. Male and female, every age, and all degrees of fitness are welcome. Clientele is generally serious about being there. Gym is clean. And classes start and end on time. You don't make an appointment to be in a class. I recommend Joe and JD Core Training.

I knew I…read moredidn't want to join a gym and walk around aimlessly not knowing what to do to achieve my personal goals. So when I met with Amer at Turbo for a consultation, I knew it was the place for me. Amer is kind, motivational, encouraging and fair. He provided me with nutritional guidance, and continues to check in how I am doing with my bad habit of night time snacking. Amer is patient and makes appropriate adjustments during my workouts. He pushes me to keep going when I don't have faith in myself and then I'm proud of myself for doing it! I truly enjoy coming to my sessions, which have made a significant change in my life. I highly recommend Turbo!

Almost immediately, she would not stop raving about how much it was helping her feel physically and mentally, and how much improvement she saw day by day. Needless to say, I had to try it! I had doubts, but these immediately went away after the first five minutes. I have been working out daily for the past few years (cardio, light gym machine weights, videos), but have never done heavy weight training or been an athlete. Exit 153 Crossfit immediately took away any doubts I had and I am thrilled to be a member. The coaches here really take the time to help each individual learn proper form and build up physical strength and the mental mindset. Coach/owner Karen is extremely friendly, knowledgable, and passionate. Not only has Exit 153 Crossfit benefitted my body and health, but I have made many friends. The sense of community here is just as important as the training, and that is noticed the first second walking into your first class. After that, every knows your name and cheers you on!
