Fitness & Gyms near Barnegat, NJ

“I'm so happy to have found SETS! I've been a member since they opened last year and i am so grateful to have found them. All the coaches are great and can accommodate any fitness level. I have recommended a few friends and they love it as well.”

“They were removing the target incline benches originally. When me and my partner brought it up to them that we used them , THEY BROUGHT THEM BACK IN!!!! Staff here is super chill!!! Thanks everybody!!!!!”

“Great place for different types of exercise. I had not been working out at a gym for a while but jumped back in at ARES. The hardest part of working out is getting started. Don't wait...join ARES!”

“CrossFit Andare in Forked River offers the best fitness and community experience within 100 miles!! The programming is second to none. The coaches are knowledgeable and friendly but aren't afraid to encourage and hold you accountable. There are consistent seminars, competitions, and community building events allowing everyone to be involved. The amenities are great as they have all the equipment need plus massive racks and even a Sauna, protein shake bar, and COLD BREW COFFEE on tap!

CrossFit Andare has been absolutely essential to my personal growth and development.

I've been doing CrossFit for nearly 20 years with a history of poor attendance. I also ate very poorly and drank regularly. My poor life choices and laziness ultimately resulted in the need for serious back surgery at only 39yrs old. Recognizing the need for change in my life I used Andare as pre-op physical therapy as much as I could.

The programming at Andare is fantastic. I was able to strengthen my core and spine to the point that I was able to return to work 3 weeks after a fusion of my L5S1. In 2 months I was able to attend classes again. 12 months after coming back I broke my Deadlift personal best. A record I had not been able to surpass for 11 years!!!

If you are looking for a place to make a positive change in your life, no matter what you are going through, and no matter what your current fitness level or experience is, CrossFit Andare is the box for you!”

“I started as the grit workout 1x a week. It evolved to 3x a week grit. After a few weeks it was clear CrossFit was the best fit. I was nervous with having to lift weights but it was such an easy transition! The whole time the coaches and other gym members made me feel comfortable and welcome. I’ve grown so much with this gym and I can’t wait to see my progress!”

“AME fitness is a breath of fresh air to the yoga community. It was my first time trying Aerial yoga and it was fun yet challenging at the same time. I loved it so much I came back the next day with my daughter who also loved it. Alessandra is very knowledgeable and wise beyond her years. I'm looking forward to returning and trying all the new innovative classes AME has to offer.”

“I have been a Be Fit NJ member for over two years now and I am so happy here. I have made so many friends and Cheryl is a fantastic trainer. Even during this difficult time during the COVID19 Pandemic she is putting on wonderful online classes. Thank you so much for all you do!”

“Lee is great trainer who works with all kinds of fitness levels. I’ve been going for years and like that you can hard as you can to however you’re feeling that night. No work out session is the same, there’s always new routines and workouts being thrown into the mix. You won’t regret taking a class here.”

“Great gym, positive & welcoming staff and patrons. If you appreciate more of an old school gym vibe, this place delivers.Facility is clean and equipment is well maintained. I’m happy it’s around in the mix of the largely commercial gym scene around this area of the shore.”

“Old school beach gym vibes. Not many of its kind left. Hot cardio deck is unfortunate but also kind of awesome. Has some old, classic, wonderful machines, including what looks like some early-gen nautilus gear. Two benches, a squat rack, 2 smith machines, and a solid dumbbell rack round out the offerings. They have a low pull that will make you feel like Arnold at Venice Gold's circa 1973. A real gem of a place.”

“I've been lifting on and off for about 13 years and out of all the gyms I've been to in that span, these guys are my absolute favorite. Setting aside how awesome it is that you can go here anytime you want at any point in the day with a membership and the key fob, this gym especially has a lot of perks. The staff are exceptional and kind, and I mean that for every one of them that I've had the pleasure of getting to know over the past couple of years. The equipment is always maintained extremely well and the people are generally very friendly and polite as well. They've got pretty much anything you could need here to run just about any type of workout. My favorite part, though, is the community. You might not feel it on your first visit but this gym has a lot of special people who will go out of their way to make you feel welcome. There's so many familiar faces that this place has started to feel like a second home for me. I love to see my fellow gymgoers like Bruce, Debbie, John, Kevin, and so many more. We all encourage each other to do and be better not just at the gym but in our lives. Hands down this gym has the best community I've ever been a part of, the people and staff who are here will care about you and your goals, and I speak from experience as one of the most active members who has only gone here more and more as time goes on. At 31 I'm currently in the best shape of my life and a lot of my gratitude for that goes towards the amazing people here who have been so supportive of me and others. If you want a gym that's more than just a sanctuary for you when you need to let off some steam, this place is great for that, but it's also great for meeting good people who genuinely care about you and your goals. Very much the ancient Greek concept of kalos kai agathos incarnate”

“I Love the instructors they are knowledgeable, friendly and know when to push you! I have had a shoulder and lower back issue and pyour core has been my go to for workouts that have made me stronger! The studio offers classes for every level if you are a beginner or avid athlete they have a class for you!!”

“Everyone is amazing, Julie, Nick, Alec, Emma, Gabby and Jamie have all been super helpful, friendly and always working to keep the weights put away and the gym clean. You have a great crew there that are always in a good mood and that energy is infectious. It makes coming to the gym less painful on the days when you would rather do anything else. Tell them all to keep up the great work!”

“This retro fitness is a no-nonsense gym, just a bunch of great members there to get their work in and not clog up machines and equipment. No selfie sticks, no ego lifters, nobody trying to pick up a date. And pretty much everyone respects the idea of wiping things down and put things back where they belong. It gets a little more packed in the summer when LBI picks up but they have great hours which allows you to avoid the crowds. And the staff is great, making sure the place stays in order and organized and so friendly as they greet you on the way in.”
