I wanted to try the Bar Method because of its lengthening effect on your muscles. I have the tone, now I just want to have a softer appearance. The staff is incredibly nice. Very accommodating, friendly and personable. The girl working the front desk greeted everyone by their first name, including my sister and I who were "in the system". I appreciated the staff's attention to detail. Our instructor made a point of introducing herself prior to the class beginning which helped my sister and I become more comfortable. As for the class itself, I took a bar basic class and was expecting a challenge but knew that it was still beginner level. During the class you would perform a set of exercises then stretch the muscle group worked. I loved that! Some of he maneuvers itself were difficult but over all the class was very easy. I left feeling like I could go do my usual workouts. I like the class overall, but if you are someone who lifts in the gym and is used to working out you maybe surprised at how well you can keep up.

I have two daughters who received their dance training from Andrea Kramer at Ballet Forte. They…read morestarted with her when she was in teaching in Warren, NJ but her reputation preceded her. It didn't take long for dance moms from other schools in the area to hear about Andrea's amazing pointe technique immediately after she landed here in Chester, NJ. Dancers improve so quickly with Andrea's teaching methods, you have to see it to believe it. Starting at a young age with proper technique is so much easier than having to relearn it properly. To share a personal story: one of my daughter's, who started dancing in diapers at age two, decided to stop dancing at the end of eighth grade. Instead, she cheered for both scholastic and competition teams in HS, but deep down I knew that she was not happy without dance in her life. We brought a dancer friend to meet Andrea during the summer before her senior year, and Andrea announced that she will be offering two dance tracks this year; contemporary and classical, and that my daughter should come and check it out. it was as if someone pinched her and said "go for it," and she said "I think I"ll try it." She has not stopped dancing since, and I am so grateful to Andrea for welcoming her back to her studio as a senior and helping to get her ready for college auditions. My daughter is proof that good solid technique is not forgotten, it's just put on a back burner for a little while until you are willing to go for it. My daughter is now a freshman at a wonderful conservatory, which would not be possible without the personal guidance and top-notch dance instruction from Andrea Kramer at Ballet Forte!

Thanks to the individualized attention that is given to each dancer by owner/teacher Andrea Kramer. The level of instruction in Ballet, Contemporary and Jazz is the best in the area and the dancers are given real "performance" opportunities in NYC and NJ as well as opportunities to "compete" individually or as a group at YAGP and NYCDA. Her faculty, guest teachers and choreographers have tremendous professional dance experience and training that you will not find at any of the other local studios. Many of her dancers go onto the best ballet and contemporary dance programs including Julliard, NYU Tisch, Fordham Ailey while others not pursuing a BFA receive dance merit scholarships at well known universities! What ever your dancers goals are with dance, this is the place to be!

We have a friend that has been training with Zeke for some time now, and she highly recommended him. Since she is in fantastic shape and was extremely enthusiastic about his workouts, we decided to give him a try. We couldn't be happier that we met Zeke! His workouts are rigorous, challenging, but fun. As the weeks go by, we are noticing how much stronger we are getting and how our endurance is strengthening. He makes sure each workout is never the same and that we target all the parts of our body that we want to work on. If you have an injury he works around it and is very knowledgeable on how to rehab it. He pushes hard so that you get the most out of your workout but knows when to stop so that you don't hurt yourself. You will be sore and cursing his name for days, but that is what you need for results....plus, he is the nicest guy and you can't hate on him too long :) For most adults over 30, we know that we cannot work out hard and eat whatever we want and still look good. Zeke is proactive about asking what you are eating and suggesting healthier alternatives. He will send you recipes, shopping lists, and even goes as far as getting supplements for you so that you have no excuses not to have them. Overall, I highly recommend Zeke to anyone that is looking for results & change to a healthier lifestyle. He is focused on his clients and making sure that everything is working for them in their diet & exercise. He's not just looking to get paid which makes him stand out from many other trainers. Keep up the good work Zeke!!!!

I've known Zeke now for two years and in those two years, he's not only helped me reshape my body…read moreand lose 52lbs, but he's made a positive impact on me as a man, husband and even father. From a training perspective, Zeke is a real pro and it shows when I see him always getting new certifications and reviewing new techniques he might have come across. Like all of us in our own professions, if you're not learning and improving, you'll never reach your best potential and that's what drives Zeke. I've seen him constantly look for ways to bring new techniques and programs to both his personal and group training sessions. Let's be clear about his personal training as this isn't 'Sweatin to the oldies'. Zeke has had his own success as a natural body builder and therefore he knows what it takes to shape one's body and reach your own personal goals. Mine was weight lose and muscle improvement and I've achieved both. He knows how far to push his clients in order to deliver the kind of workout you're excited to wake up for! Also, I've personally seen a wide variety of his clients, from women/men/kids, (my own 13yr old loves him), in addition to Seniors trying to stay fit. I've always felt from day one that I've received more than my money's worth both for my time devoted to training as well as the 1:1 talks we have. Whether you're a new client or a client that's been with him for more years than myself, Zeke genuinely cares about the results you're achieving. He'll check up on you too! I've received many calls and text messages reminding me to stay clean with my eating and to get in my own workouts on days we're not together. This is his full time profession, not a side job hobby, and he cares about his clients, reputation and local community with the various charity programs he's participated in. If you already know Zeke and you're reading this, I'm sure you're nodding your head in agreement with what I've written. If you recently met Zeke and/or you're looking for a trainer and program, (no matter where you might live as he also does live video training), and you're on Yelp trying to figure out if he's right for you, let me simply say you would be doing a disservice to yourself by not allowing him an opportunity to work with you.

Every summer the air conditioning breaks and every summer it is patched together to keep it going along. In the winter it's either too cold in the beginning of the class or it is to humid and hot by the end due to the fact that the climate control does not work and the owners refuse to get it properly fixed. They will sometimes bring a nifty fan in to hold over the weeks where there is no air at all . This location does not update the Ipads and they are very glitchy. Sometimes the Ipads reset themselves because they have not been properly updated and occasionally they will stop in the middle of the workout. When that happens, it throws off the recording of your distance. This is supposed to be a high-end boutique workout studio. There is plenty of competition around. Needs work.

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.
