Amazing gym, everyone is super friendly and best equipment around in Monmouth county. Very communal feeling and a safe space.

I joined the pit as a member in 2019 when it first opened. The gym is well run, organized, and clean. They’re always upgrading equipment and has a very friendly community. I’ve been in strength sports for 10+ years and this gym has everything you need for strongman, powerlifting, or olympic weightlifting. It also has a very welcoming environment to general population and the average gym goer. 100% would recommend to anyone in the Monmouth County area.

Before I came to the PIT, I was a gym drifter, but I have finally found my home . The PIT has all the equipment and space you need as a strength sports athlete or as a regular gym-enthusiast. The staff is always happy to answer questions or help out. The facility is CLEAN. And they offer different memberships for all commitment-types. There’s something for everyone, im super happy I joined!!!

I didn’t actually get to work out. I called about a day pass and was asked what time I was going to arrive. I thought I’d be able to get here by 6 and the owner mentioned I needed to be here by 8. I didn’t make it til 7:30 and was told I couldn’t work out due to liability and that all non members needed to be done with their workouts by 8. Totally understandable but I feel like this was poorly communicated on the phone. Pretty disappointed about driving 30 minutes to get here and not having clear info. So FYI if you come for a day pass you need to be OUT by 8. Also no apologies on her part for the miscommunication - just a sorry you aren’t worth my business. Got it! I won’t be back.

Not a fan.ReplyMy card was charged multi times without me permission by the owner because she was in a mood. Gym is 24hrs but at night in the winter it’s 30• inside. Summer it’s 80. I’m all for supporting small businesses but not ones that treat people like your gym does.

Whether you’re a strongman/strongwoman, powerlifter, bodybuilder or just a person that wants to get healthier….this gym is for you! They literally have EVERYTHING you would want or need to get and stay healthy. In house massage, apparel, healthy meals, snacks….great vibes with the members and a sick space! Definitely check out if you’re in the area…you won’t regret it! Thanks Gina for having a gym where everyone is welcome. The variety of equipment, quality of implements and staff is unparalleled! Highly recommend The Pit Gym!!

Looking for a serious lifting gym with the atmosphere to back it? You've found it! I live over 2 hours away and still make the trip to train here whenever I can. The PIT has equipment for whatever strength sport you are into and the space to be able to actually train!! Definitely need to get out to this gym

Let me start by saying this is one of the best 24hr Gyms in Monmouth County! Good equipment and conveniently located next to major highways and the GSP.**2022 Update**Let me start off by saying the gym itself is good and my prior review will remained unchanged in regards to that. I just had to update my review based on the interactions I've personally had with the owner Gina. I'm not going to go into depth or post my receipts, I'm gonna keep it as positive as I can and adjust my prior rating accordingly.

I've been competing and training at The Pit for about 6 months and have always been very impressed with the helpfulness of the staff and respectfulness of the members. It's hard to find a place that caters to powerlifting AND strongman, but Gina and her crew are always adding new equipment and making the gym a one-stop-shop for lifters of all kinds. If grunting like a maniac and punishing your body aren't your thing, there is plenty of equipment and expertise that surpasses what you would find in a chain commercial gym. They host a lot of clinics and competitions throughout the year, so if you're looking for a strength gym to call home, this is it.
