Fitness & Gyms near Raritan, NJ

“The best thing about this gym is that the employees and management are really nice and friendly. The gym has been clean since I've joined and I haven't seen it dirty once. Some equipment is failing and takes time to repair. There are roof leaks that have gone unrepaired for a long time. Bathrooms could use some TLC! The showers are missing shower heads and usually there is no soap in the dispensers by the sinks. The water fountain hasn't worked right in years! The building is supposedly being torn down, which is most likely why things are not getting repaired. They should still fix some minor things that doesn't cost a lot of money to repair.”

“The experience is incredible, everything is always neat and clean, but what I like most is that there are not many people, nor do you have to wait to use the machines.”

“I enjoy everyone that works out with me and when I started the challenge I was 165.2 lbs now I am at 151.2 lbs. you are so great and I am happy to workout at your gym.”

“I found the Free burn classes for the month of march through an instagram ad and submitted my information. I was contacted the next day by Jennifer who explained in detail everything about the trial from how it was 80% cardio 20% strength and unlimited classes that we have to sign up for before coming. Today we went for the 6am class with Geir Gudmundsen. Geir led this class with such grace. First time there with my fiance and we felt very welcomed. He explained how the rotations to each different exercises were and how to use each machine we got on. The number one thing I really liked is that we were pushed to do it at our own pace. Though I have a smaller figure, I tire very easily and would like to work on that. It was a great wake up workout. He was also very good at checking in on how we were feeling if he saw we were overworking ourselves. Both me and my fiance work from home and are getting married next month so we are trying to be a bit more active and slim up a bit more before the big day. I will definitely be back”

“I joined OTF in Somerville at the beginning of the transformation challenge, 8 weeks ago. I am fairly new to this area and when I saw OTF was 5 minutes down the road from me I had to try it. After being a member for 8 weeks I can truly say I have had the best experience at this location. From the managers to the coaches, they make sure you truly feel like part of the OTF family and beyond. I recently graduated nursing school so throughout my journey at OTF I had sat for my boards and accepted a job, and the staff were my biggest cheerleaders at every step of my journey. If you’re ever considering joining OTF, definitely come to the location in Somerville, you’ll absolutely love it!”

“Just signed up after rave reviews from a co worker who works out there. Very clean, great selection of equipment, and super fast Email support from Mary. Easing into my program and taking advantage of a free training session offered with the membership. Very reasonable monthly rates. This place is heads above places like Planet Fitness”

“I started training 3 weeks ago at F45 Branchburg, and it's terrific. I tried traditional gyms before, but F45 is definitely another vibe. Every workout is designed to challenge, develop, and improve your overall performance. The place is clean, and the trainers are exceptional. 100% recommended ?”

“I have been working with Larry for years since a major physical set back. He always has workouts that are within my limitations but still push me to get stronger. His knowledge is so expansive. He knows so much about the human body and what makes it work best. Add in his knowledge of food and you have the whole package. Larry doesn't just know all these things he lives them, making him empathetic on top of encouraging. I would highly recommend Larry to anyone looking to become more healthy!”

“Great local gym with a variety of equipment and machines that fits your workout needs (pun very much intended). If you are new to this gym, you can do a 3 day free trial before committing to a full membership or buying a day/week pass. Since I'm on vacation back home for the holidays, I will only be getting a week pass ($25). For anyone who is not too sure of how often they will go to the gym or are in town for a short period of time, you can buy a day pass for $10. I ended up doing some running on the treadmill because it was raining. The treadmill was kind of old (the built in fan was dusty) and difficult to use (touchscreen was not super sensitive). However, there were staff everywhere ensuring that machines and equipment were clean. Probably just one of those machines that they invested in a few years ago and will be used until it falls apart. Will be curious to check out the other equipment they have in the upcoming days. Overall, pretty decent accommodations, ranging from a sauna in the locker rooms and beverages up front. There is also a theater in the back, but I'm not 100% sure what it is used for. They also hold group classes in a small room in the back corner. If it is not actively being used for a class, it's a great place to stretch for warm up and/or cool down.”

“Awesome gym with great equipment and atmosphere. However, there’s a trainer here who is prone to incessant whistling which usually distracts from the workouts. Headphones are no match to the whistling. Otherwise a great place to get all your fitness needs.”

“I've been coming to Savage City Strength for over two years and I am still having a five-star experience.This the most well-stocked gym I've ever been to and Shawn's guidance has been top notch. All of the members are friendly and competitive but only in the positive sense keeping all of the workouts fun and productive.Anyone serious about improving their bodies needs to come to this gym.”

“Great pool great fitness center and all in all well run outfit with good people. However, they could expand and add to their gymnasium and also enhance their Internet banned with and speed. The Internet is sketchy and spotty at best and with no cell reception. it makes harder for streaming content while working out. This needs to be fixed.”

“I’ve been a member at this gym for a little over a year now and can honestly say it’s a great facility. A little on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for and Pinnacle has a lot to offer compared to cheaper gyms in the area. I’ve trained at various Retro Fitness gyms around the state for years prior to joining Pinnacle, but got tired of the after work crowd and having to wait to use equipment. I’m typically a 6am workout person, but I have come to Pinnacle after work several times during the week for a quick workout. Aside from children coming in for activities with parents, I can’t say I’ve experienced a real crowd or have had to really wait to workout with any equipment. I hope it stays this way lol”

“i’ve dropped into a lot of gyms and this one by FAR wins!! i drop into chimney rock about once a year. all of the coaches are extremely kind and welcoming and GOOD at their jobs! ready to scale for what your body needs and give great coaching cues. the members are also so outgoing and quick to introduce themselves to you! if you’re looking for a new gym, i would highly recommend this one, and if you’re dropping in, this is the place to be!!”

“Switching to Retro Fitness from Crunch has been a terrific decision. The standout aspect for me is the gym's cleanliness, a refreshing change from my previous gym. Alongside this, the variety of equipment available is impressive, ensuring no waiting times and a smooth workout experience. What really enhances the experience at Retro Fitness is the friendly staff. They are always welcoming and helpful, adding a personal touch to each visit. In summary, Retro Fitness excels with its clean environment, diverse equipment, and warm staff, making it a superior choice compared to my past experiences at other gyms.”

“This has been my gym for the past 4 months and I really enjoy it ! It is a very beginner friendly gym. The crowd is not judgmental at all. I am a heavier woman and never once did I feel judged by the workers or patrons of the gym which is amazing. This plays a huge role in a person wanting to be consistent at the gym! I like to get my workout done at night so when I go it is usually pretty packed. The downside to this is that this is a small gym so equipment and machines can wind up taken pretty quickly which could delay your workout but you gotta just be patient. If you avoid peak gym hours you will have a better chance to get to all the equipment you need. The women's bathroom is always clean. I also really enjoy the sauna. My only problem with the sauna is that sometimes the temperature is inconsistent. Overall I highly recommend this spot. You might outgrow it eventually but this is a good place to start your fitness goals.”

“This is a pretty good little gym for the community. It has a surprising amount of free weights and dumbbells, a few treadmills, and several machines. It's busy usually in the morning and in the evening around 5-7pm.”

“I really enjoy going to the Hillsborough Retro vs other gyms in the same price point in the immediate area(s). Shout out to Kayla and the management staff for always keeping the place exceptionally clean as well as always having the best attitude with all customers. (I actually thought Kayla was the owner she takes such good care of the place). The staff makes the whole environment feel friendly and welcoming. Kudos to the team, it definitely doesn't go unappreciated.”

“I like coming here, the temperature is perfect for working out! Other PF's are so cold. Also, FYI, if you didn't know, there's an açaí place right next door of PF and it's pretty good and healthy. I didn't notice it until my bf & I were on the window side of the treadmills.”

“Esthetics programs ! 6 months full time and now even shorter at 4 months ! So thankful for the support team and instructors in the beauty program! Passed my state licensing with a 95% because of the knowledge I had received on first try ! 10/10 recommend to any one looking for a future in the beauty industry !”

“I have been dealing with membership issues for the past several months with Planet Fitness where I was charged for late fees - even though it was information with my cards on file that switched over, but I was always willing to pay. Today - Luca - the manager at the Planet Fitness - Hillsborough location - really helped me and reimbursed for the late fees accumulated by the organization. He was the first employee with Planet to really take the time and go over everything effectively and appropriately after dealing with MULTIPLE employees at Planet Fitness across many different locations and ranks - who did not know how to address my account or the situations I was experiencing.
I am rating this a 4 star experience - since the organization deserves a 3 for how they handled everything - but Luca really went above and beyond to help me out and I would give him 5 stars (or more) if I could!
Anyway thanks for the help Luca, as well as your professionalism and knowledge, and for really taking the time to go over everything and handle information in my account correctly!”

“This place has got the most amazing zumba instructor ever, Nicole Borders! I mean, seriously, she's got the most awesome songs, killer dance moves, and she just oozes with so much positive energy that it's infectious! Trust me, once you give her class a try, you'll be totally hooked for life. Don't miss out on this incredible classes. Strongly recommend her classes.”
