Title: Close, Clean, and Gets the Job Done…read more Bethany Community Center is my go-to gym because it's conveniently close, which makes it easy to actually get in a workout--my main goal. With a lot of local gyms closing or moving, having one nearby that's clean and functional is a big plus. The setup is straightforward: free weights, machines, and a handful of cardio options. The treadmills are amusingly off-calibrated--you can set it to 4 mph and the belt will only go 2. It's a good reminder to double-check your speed (and maybe a mini leg workout in disguise). The TVs often freeze, but I just put on my own music and focus on my routine. You don't need to be part of the church to join, and they offer different membership options--gym, classes, or pool. I mostly stick to the gym. The pool seems nice, though it's usually crowded, so snagging a lane can be tricky. The staff is friendly, check-in is smooth, and I've never felt pressured to attend services, which is appreciated. Some minor frustrations: it can get crowded, especially right after school lets out, and locker space is minimal--just cubbies--so changing can be awkward unless you go across the hall to the bathroom. Membership rates recently went up, which stung a bit, but at least they were upfront with signs. Overall, Bethany Community Center does exactly what I need: it's clean enough to focus, convenient to reach, and helps me stay consistent with workouts. If you're looking for a nearby, functional gym, it's worth checking out--just maybe avoid the peak after-school rush unless you enjoy a bit of teenage chaos.

I had to keep calling and following up just to get basic information. Because of the lack of timely communication, I missed my opportunity to enroll. On top of that, management was not flexible or understanding about the situation, even though the delay was on their end. Very frustrating experience--I hope they improve their customer service and responsiveness. The swim instructors are pleasant and were very good.

Kids do like it there and parents too. We were there on Sundays. A little tough during the lunch time since the kid wanted to have his nap, but after 30 min of swimming we would take him straight home for a nice 3hour nap.

So far we're really happy with the gym and it's also very clean (I have seen some others that are very dusty and not clean, not here, the gym is very nice). We're excited for our daughter to grow here and continue to follow her love for gymnastics.

All my questions and concerns have been addressed almost immediately, via email or phone call. My youngest has several food allergies, severe (anaphylaxis) the staff is fully trained, they are an inclusive camp, meaning she can eat and participate in EVERY activity. This is extremely important for any kid of any age, to feel included and part of everything and something. I highly highly recommend this. Thank you to Camp Wekeela for making this a truly memorable summer for my girls. They will be back next year!

I used to have really bad experiences at camps, but when I went to Wekeela, that all changed. Last…read moresummer was my second summer; and I don't understand how people think that new people are treated like outcasts because I was new and I made about 3 friends the first day! Wekeela also is great because you can extend your time there easily, and if you hate it (which I really doubt you will) you will probably be allowed to un-extend. Last summer I went to camp for four weeks, and even in my second year I was still making friends and looking forward to meeting new people! I can't say enough good things about Wekeela. On the last day I was crying my eyes out from dinner to the end of campfire and after camp ended every night I facetimed my friends and became extremely camp sick. I love camp so much that I am going for seven weeks next summer; and considering my past experiences with camps, that's a big deal. If you want a carefree, fun, socialized summer, come to camp Wekeela. Trust me.

The Montclair facility, being on a collage campus gave my seven year old swimmer an extra "I'm swimming in a university pool" confidence boost. Mr. Matt knows exactly when and how to challenge his swim students. Whether he's working with them in the shallow first half of the lane or he's right besides his student as they tackle the full 25 meters, his excited encouragement never fades. He's an outstanding instructor! The Take Me to the Water staff has great communication skills. My emails never go unanswered. I truly appreciate that as a parent. The pool side staff has a fun positive vibe when interacting with the students. We're quite happy to have found this swim program.

The ongoing pandemic has definitely taken a toll on a lot of businesses and public places since a…read moreconsumer's mindset to buy anything outside of essentials or to visit a public place like a park or beach, has crippled down significantly. Now by living with what has become the new normal, it is commendable on how these businesses and public places continue to remain open and cater to the general public by following the safety standards. It is now all the more important that we as customers, support these heroes during these dark hours to mankind. My wife and I had been looking for some form of sport activity around Jersey city and that's how we ran into this Badminton club. They have an online registration form to be filled out for booking a court for full 2 hours with number of players. The more you take with you, the cheaper it will be per person. There's also a WhatsApp group that is pretty active with people asking or updating their availability to play for a certain time slot, calling out the play level - Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced. Finding this place was a bit tricky as the entrance is little unassuming and you need to fight out the street parking as they don't have a dedicated one. Luckily we didn't have to go through that as we took the last slot of the day - 9.30-11.30. They check the body temperature before letting you in and you can get to your desired court without a second of waiting. They have four active courts and the facility is part of a school that maintains it pretty well. We even watched a masked up gentleman spraying disinfectants once, along the sitting area. Masks are mandated except for the playing time and they currently don't have walk-ins to reduce the crowd during the pandemic. They provide feathered cocks for a $ if you don't bring your own and provide rackets as rentals for $3. We had a great time and we have certainly found our new go-to place to flex our muscles.
