“I've been coming to Strive since I moved to the North Jersey area in 2017. The gym isn't the closest to my home (it used to be convenient to my office but I'm mostly remote post pandemic) but it's literally the best reason for me to leave the house ... not only do I never wait for equipment, I usually grab dinner or a juice at their amazing juice bar. The employees are always super friendly and attentive (my favorite is that little nugget Cash!!) and the facility is always super clean. Highly recommend ... 5 stars.”

1376 Pompton Ave, Cedar Grove“Dropped in for 9:30am weekday class. I followed email prompt on website for drop ins. Owner got back to me immediately and gave me all the information I needed to drop in. Made it very easy.
As for the class and facilities…
TOP NOTCH. Temperature today is supposed to hit 100 plus humidity. They had the garage doors closed and the AC was on! I was extremely pleased to have that courtesy today. The space was huge, open, clean, and all quality equipment to train on.
Coach Jake was very welcoming, as well as the members. I felt right at home in this class. Coach Jake went over the warmups as well as workout instruction with a watchful eye. I have not done SDHP in a long time, his instruction hit all the key points for us.
I very much look forward to an opportunity to drop into CrossFit Cedar Grove again.”
“Came here during a month I was visiting the area - really welcoming and fun classes, good coaches and good class sizes for the space. Appreciated that there were reasonably priced trial memberships that worked well for my limited time in the area and didn't require a longer commitment.”

808 Columbus Ave #20D, New York“I highly recommend Ms. Allison enough as a swim instructor. My 4-year-old son started lessons with her a few months ago, and the progress he’s made is incredible. She’s warm, patient, and has such a gentle way with young kids, making them feel comfortable right from the start.
During each 30-minute lesson, she’s fully focused on the kids, and it’s clear how much she cares about helping them succeed. Thanks to her guidance, my son now floats on his own and has totally overcome his fear of water. He actually loves swimming now and can’t wait for his lesson every week. Ms. Allison has been a true gift for us!”

“Are you serious about powerlifting? Look no further than this hidden gem—the ultimate haven for strength enthusiasts. The equipment here transcends what you’d find in a typical commercial gym. It’s like comparing night and day. Everything is meticulously designed and, dare I say, tight. Forget the notion that a barbell is just a barbell or that a 45-pound plate is merely a 45-pound plate. This place defies those assumptions.As we age, injury prevention becomes paramount. To ensure I wasn’t compromising my squats, bench presses, and deadlifts, I booked a 2-hour technique session with Jason. Worth every penny! My high bar squat was decent, but I craved better posterior chain development through low bar squats. Jason’s personalized tweaks transformed my form from “okay” to rock-solid.Now, let’s talk bench press. It’s always been my Achilles’ heel, but Jason—a bench press monster—guided me through drills that revolutionized my approach. After just 30 minutes, I was lifting more efficiently, engaging additional stabilizing muscles, and driving the bar with newfound confidence.Surprisingly, my deadlift form needed the most work. Despite countless YouTube tutorials, nothing compared to hands-on coaching. Jason helped me recruit the right muscles, optimize leverages, and—most importantly—lift heavier weights safely.My only regret? Not seeking this guidance sooner. I eagerly await the day when I can join this gym and take my training to the next level.”

6500 Dewey Ave, West New York“Man, I love this place. I can say so many great things about ECF, but why don't you just experience it for yourself if you haven't already? As someone who has never been fit since day one, I never thought I'd stick around, but the community and support I receive from all the coaches keeps me motivated. I've only been a member for a couple months and I'm already looking forward to see how I'll have progressed a full year in. Give ECF a chance and you won't regret it! :)”

“Best boutique fitness studio in this neighborhood - highly recommend! Convenient location, easy registration and check-in, modern interior decor with beautiful natural light flooding the studio, high-end finishes and most importantly: an all-star crew of instructors and staff! This studio offers a perfectly balanced curriculum and the members can choose from a variety of barre, dance/cardio and yoga classes throughout the day. Great little hidden gem in the UES! I started trying it out with their first-timer promotion for two weeks and have been addicted ever since! As a hardcore barre practitioner, I’ve frequented all major studios all over Manhattan and this one definitely tops my list! You’ll be noticeably lighter, leaner and stronger after just a couple of classes - amazing results!”

“So I joined this gym a day ago after taking a tour with Nick…I was looking for the “next level” gym…. I’ve loved lifting since I was in high school but recent health issues kept from walking let alone lifting. I was given the all clear roughly a month ago and joined the first place I found…fine gym but missing human connection and looked and felt like all the cookie cutter gyms, equipped with the same gear nothing more nothing less. After going for about a month 5-6 days a week, I started looking for what I really wanted…I found Fitness 19 in midland and was hooked after playing around with the 3d tour…. This place is anything but basic top tier gear, multiples of everything, and clean, new functioning equipment. They have I body scans, great locker rooms and Nick and the team are constantly adding to it…I’m excited about the upcoming sauna and red light therapy! But the one thing this place has that’s really special are the people…the staff I met are professional, kind and genuinely love what they do and truly want to help and get to know you. If you’re starting out or a “veteran” fitness buff you owe it to yourself to check out Fitness 19 Midland….next level gym at a unbelievable price!!!”

Great size turf floor, tons of machines to choose from & power racks for strength training. It’s very convenient for me to walk here from my apartment. I always have a really great workout here.”
“Coach Matt is worth every buck you’re willing to invest in yourself. What I love about his sessions is his emphasis on training ones mind.

260 W Crescent Ave Suite #3, Allendale“I started at the Rack in August of 2016 at their old location in Paramus. I have tried other types of gyms but consistently find myself coming back to this one. CrossFit has challenged me in so many ways to become a stronger individual, not only physically but mentally. I have learned to do things I never thought I would ever be capable of. Moreover, this community has become like family to me. They are my support system and i enjoy my time with them so much. They are one of the main reasons I stay so consistent. The members and coaches at CrossFit the Rack are an amazing group of people. I am so glad I found them.”
“Grassroots is an unmatched community gym. I was part of the Women's Strength group for over a year, during which my lifts and mobility improved considerably.

“Solid gym. Sturdy equipments & got a variety of machines I like. Not overcrowded & plentiful parking. I like that we have a shake bar. Just wish guest passes were available or day passes were slightly lower.”
“This is the best workout! The coaches are so motivating to get you to push yourself to the limit! There is a good mix of cardio and resistance sessions, and enough class times to fit in any schedule. They are also very welcoming to many different fitness levels. It was very easy to get started as someone with no athletic abilities.”
“This place is a 5 simply because it’s the only gym in the area with a belt squat (I’ve looked) - if you’ve used one, you get it. It’s very clean, plenty of equipment curated by someone who gets it. (Compared to a big chain (PF style) - parking is easy, location is great right on BF. Never gets too busy. Make sure you check out their opening hours , only issue is early weekend close”
