Fitness & Gyms near Holmdel, NJ

“It’s a nice gym. It’s generally very clean and it has good equipment. Only issue is the "shirts on" rule only applies to men- Women shouldn’t be walking around in bras!”

“Love the equipment here, plenty of free weight, doubles of the most important machines like Low Row and leg extension, great gym for people getting serious about lifting.”

“The Max Challenge has been great for helping me to reestablish the exercise habit after significant medical issues and injuries had me sidelined. Michael, the evening instructor is a GEM! So sweet, upbeat and able to give modifications for every single exercise. He kept checking in on how I was feeling and we realized I needed to stay standing in order to accommodate post-concussion syndrome, so for every exercise, he gives me a standing version.I also really like the 45 minute class time- it’s the Goldilocks time- not too short and not too long!Just be aware that the positive vibe that is one of the Max hallmarks can include lots of high fives and sometimes I wish there was a cynical, sarcastic, “no-touching “ corner for us introverts! But it does come across as very sincere and they do follow up with text reminders to make sure you don’t give up which is helpful!”

“I used to be an employee here 2013-2017 and it was one of the best in NJ. Since then, they have made incredible strides to be even better. Equipment is up to date and well maintained. Some of it you won't see anywhere else you go. Highly recommend!I now live in Denver and visit yearly. This facility is better than nearly every gym we have in the Denver Metro area.”

“I joined Critical Mass January 2021, right after moving to the county, with Ken as my trainer. Went out on a medical leave and then came back at some point in March or April 2021. After doing countless one on one sessions Ken convinced me to come to class during one of the CM challenges. I never did a class and was convinced it wasn't for me for the longest time, till Ken convinced me to try class. Have been going to class ever since AND continuing to do one on one with Ken. I have had 2 trainers prior to Ken and NEVER saw as much progress as I have with Ken. Completed me second, MassFest, a lifting competition for many gym members to earn PRs, cheer on peers, and truly think the group of people are inspiring to watch and makes me want to continue to do better. As for Ken, he not only inspires you but knows your strength more than you do, and pushes you to reach beyond your full potential. I have never felt stronger in my life then at this point, and this is after being athletic in high school. Ken and Critical Mass are the sole reason for that. If you are debating on a gym or debating on a trainer, search no farther than Critical Mass and Ken”

“OTF Freehold is a welcoming and unpretentious studio that is clean and well maintained. The staff is pleasant and welcoming (special shoutout to Alisa and Anjolie), and the coaches are motivating and helpful. The studio is not overly crowded so you can usually get the classes you want without being waitlisted. OTF Freehold also tries to foster a sense of community by organizing events inside and outside of the studio. I highly recommend giving OTF Freehold a try - bonus perk, you can stop by Trader Joe’s after your workout. ?”

“My son has been going to classes at My Gym for a year now and we recently had his third birthday party there. Ms. Huong & Mr. Tien are absolutely AMAZING! They truly make each child feel so special and the parents feel so welcome, like we’re their own family. The gym is great, but Ms. Huong & Mr. Tien are what make it a truly special place to take your kids.Our weekly classes are with Ms. Huong. She really gets to know the kids, and help them with any challenges. I love how the classes are structured with activities and the kids learn to play together and take turns. We sometimes have Mr. Tien for free play and my son always has a blast with him. He has great energy!My son’s birthday party was amazing. He truly felt special during the entire party. It always amazes me how both Ms. Huong & Mr. Tien remember every child’s name between classes & parties! The ease of the party was also great. Not having to worry about setting up or going crazy with decorations. Our guests still talk about how amazing Mr. Tien was!If you’re considering My Gym Manalapan for classes and/or a party, you will not be disappointed!”

“I’m definitely not the prototype of someone who would be a member of a gym like this.However Joe and everyone else have been very supportive despite my age, health, and lack of previous experience.If you are looking for treadmills and machines with no help and you fend for yourself like the other gyms have, then you are in the wrong place.If you want serious training where you are being helped to set and achieve your personal goals and get results, then this is where you should be going. They will show you the right way to do lifts and other exercises whether you are at the early stages of your training or you are an experienced weightlifter.”

“I’ve been doing CrossFit since 2016. I joined Salus about 6 months ago after moving to the area and I haven’t looked back!The camaraderie amongst the members and coaches is unmatched. The programming has me feeling stronger and fitter than I have in a long time. Salus made me fall in love with crossfit all over again ?❤️”

“I started at orange theory 1 yr ago and loved it. I started in the Bayonne location but soon switched over to Marlboro. The coaches here are hard core and friendly and push you to do your very best. I have lost well over 100 lbs and recommend everyone try this work out. It’s always different, always fun and away makes you sweat. It’s a complete work out and every time I leave I feel great. I have challenged myself in ways I never dreamed off here and achieved more in one year than my prior 25 yrs or working out. Love this place. Highly recommend.”

“Absolutely love this gym! The staff here is amazing and super friendly. It's not just a gym; it's a family and a fantastic community. As a girl, I feel completely comfortable working out here. The equipment is top-notch, and John is always around to lend a hand. This isn't your typical gym; the staff, especially John, go above and beyond to ensure you're supported and set up for success. Highly recommend!”

“Love this place!! Such great staff who really knows how to train people. I had surgery on my right rotator cup and had very little flexibility. Since then, within the little time I been going. I’am more flexible and have increased in strength with my right shoulder. But not only is my shoulder getting better, I’am also getting leaner, stronger and being more flexible all around.”

“I love how each session is a full body workout that involves both cardio and strength training. I also like how the coaches tell you exactly what to do so it keeps you moving without wasting time, making the most out of one hour. The energy in the room and music help keep you going and alert. Great coaches, staff, and environment. Definitely recommend!”

“Coming from a person who never has time to leave reviews, this place is worth it to write one up. I’ve been a member for the past 3 months. And I have to say I don’t know why I haven’t joined sooner. So, a little background on me, I delivered my second child about a year ago. Postpartum blues were starting to subside and I wanted to do something for myself. So, I decided to take the leap at CrossFit, again(10 years since I last joined a CrossFit gym). I looked at a couple of CrossFit gyms around me and this one stood out the most. I nervously walked in on the first day and was greeted by Shannon (coach) who welcomed me with open arms and gave me a tour around the place. Then met Frank (owner/coach) who right away was interested in getting to know me and my goals. By the 3rd or 4th visit, the coaches/owner and some members already knew who I was and would even ask how I was or how my kids are. People remembered who I was and I thought that was nice. As I kept attending class, I got to get to know the different coaches/members. And everyone with different backgrounds/ages/careers etc., different walks of life have been nothing but, welcoming and kind. I keep coming back, obviously to exercise, but for that sense of community and being a part of something. Lastly, for anyone who wants to join but, feel intimidated or discouraged, I never once felt like I was less fit or feel like I wasn’t good enough to be there. I have been out of the CrossFit game for almost a little over10 years with life happenings and being postpartum (suffering from diastis recti/pelvic pain/sciatic pain), I am unable to do certain CrossFit movements. With the help of the coaches/members, I have found different movements and stretches to get me through the workouts. That I am extremely grateful for because I finally get to do what I’ve been missing. With that being said, I couldn’t rave about this place anymore than I could. Frank did a great job with this place! If I could change anything, it would be I wish I joined sooner.”

“Machines are clean and no issues, place is never packed. The pool is nice. Only reason its not 5 star cause its a little expensive and you still have to pay for separate sauna and jacouzee. The good thing is your membership includes classes. Great place.”

“I absolutely love Underground Gym! The unique styles that Eric, Lana, and Sergei bring to each class make workouts exciting. The intimate class size creates a supportive environment, and I appreciate the personalized attention. Following their program, I lost 25 lbs in just two months! This is an outstanding fitness experience!”

“Absolutely life changing ! I started at Free Will a few years ago as running and home workouts were just not working anymore. Ky really pushes you to work hard. I feel stronger than ever and the workouts have changed my body for the better. No excuses here you will be pushed but you will be rewarded. It’s not only a gym but also has a nutritional aspect as well. There are group cleanes, weigh ins and overall health awareness. Plus it’s a great group of clients.”

“Best gym daycare I’ve used for my two children. I’ve changed gyms several times, trying to find the right fit. They love the ladies great the children with big smiles and open arms every time. My children love them so much, they ask to go everyday! I feel completely safe leaving them for 2hrs.”

“Been a member since the day it opened. I actually had a misiunderstanding about payment which ended up being entirely my fault. To say they handled it professionally, is an understatement. I confessed to them afterwords. They just laughed along with me. The employees are very attentive, the gym is clean, and the entire atmosphere is friendly. Love having this as a the way to start my day.”

“My 2 year old LOVED open gym in the bitty bouncers room. It was very clean and safe for him to run around, jump, climb and explore! There were 2-3 coaches in the room that were helping the kids and making sure they were safe. I also loved that open gym was right before nap time. My son keeps asking to go back and we definitely will.”

“I was in town for a weekend wedding & came across Synergy when I did a search for hot studios. I took a 60 & 75 min hot 26 with Cara. She's a fantastic teacher & adept at adjusting the class depending on the knowledge level of the students. Nikki, who was at the front desk, was so nice & helpful. I didn't get a chance to take her class, but it sounds like a great option for an intense workout.Mats & towels are included; Clean showers (w/ shower sandals!); women owned w/ friendly & knowledgeable staff - this is a convenient studio for locals & visitors.”

“King's Fitness is a solid choice for your fitness needs, whether you're a complete novice or have a good measure of experience. Sarah and her team are welcoming and give you the individual attention you need to reach whatever goals you're striving towards, whether it is competing, moving better or getting stronger. Recommended without reservation.”

“Selfless love has become an essential part of my life. Since I have stepped into this studio I have been able to grow and deepen into my practice spiritually, mentally and emotionally as a teacher and a student. From a beginner to a seasoned yogi this studio has classes for ALL levels!Lindsay is by far one of the best teachers, boss’s and friends I have ever merged paths with on my journey through life. I am forever grateful for her, this studio and what this community has offered me. It’s beyond what I can put into words.10/10 would recommend to every single person on this planet!”

“Everyone that works here is so incredible and nice. It is an amazing place to work out with helpful staff! I highly recommend joining Retro Fitness of Middletown!”

“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.”

“I am a disabled vet and I needed help to understand there gym , Peter who helped me was so kind and caring that I said this place is now my new home , when you are disabled you need all the help you can get and peter was fantastic and kind ..AJOk , to day is Sunday and yes a joined , what I'm posting now is not a problem at all only a feed back to make it a better place for the members....Thank you Ella ,Peter was more then kind and caring and took my problems and made me feel like a million dollars.The lay out is perfect but your prices on drinks are way to high compared to other gym in the area , other places charge let's say 3.75 you charge 6.00. That is insane , this country was and is a capitalism country and that means you must be competitive in almost every thing.Drinks are the most important part of the game doing your work out , to stay hydrated and ready for the next set ,Your smoothies are weak and at 9.00 that is a big turn off ,No place to sit or drink , and a big coffee pot, free of charge is a plus and would be fantastic. Also you should open on Sunday at 6 not 7 , that 1 hour makes it ..Other then thatYour great ?This is what you call pro active statement and positive feedback....AJ falack”

“I am not technically a Relentless member, but I would be if I lived closer! I am Coach Alyssa's Aunt and want to share how much she helped me. I have been having severe shoulder pain with limited range of motion for many months. I could barely lift anything or even put my arm into the sleeve of my jacket without difficulty. As an RN for over 30 years, my body has had a lot of wear and tear, and I figured this was something I would just have to deal with. Of course, as a nurse, I am the worst patient! Anyways, Coach Alyssa saw I was having difficulty, listened to my symptoms, and gave me a few simple exercises and stretches to do. I have been doing them and am SO happy to say my pain is much lessened and my range of motion is much improved! I really can't thank her enough! The Relentless crew is so lucky to have Coaches like Alyssa and Dana!”

“Top notch gym and staff. Nothing like I’ve experienced before. They really take pride in their community and offerings. Proud to be a part of this fitness center.”

“I have loved being a member of Limitless Fitness for the past four years! Great instructors and atmosphere for young and older adults who enjoy working out. I will be continuing my membership.”

“Attended my first introductory private group class at PilatesBlast last night and to say I enjoyed it would be an understatement. It was such an incredible full body workout that left me feeling energetic and amazing! The instructors were so patient, helpful, and motivating. Thank you, PilatesBlast!”
