Best Gym near Ewing-township, New-jersey

I had a great experience at this gym as a college student. Super close to TCNJ and a super easy commute. The staff was always super friendly and accommodating and always had extra equipment that was available for us (bands, ankle bracelet, straps). Equipment was always working and modern and even when it was broken it was fixed super quickly. This is also the cleanest gym I have ever been to. The cleaning lady is amazing and always has the place spotless. Love this gym!

I’m not one for posting reviews or talking down about a company, but I think before people join, they should know the facts. I signed up when I first moved here and went for their most basic plan and after paying for a few months I was hit with the “annual fee”. All is well, no problems. I did question because the timing seemed off but whatever. Then as I got more comfortable with the gym and started to want to go in the mornings before work I went to the membership that offered that ability and still within the year time frame was hit with the annual charge again. That should’ve been my red flag to begin with that this company is just after whatever funds they can sneakily take from you. Fast forward to a few months ago, I stopped going as much after getting pregnant mainly due to just being to tired to go, so I made the decision to go in and pause my account. I was told “it’d be $10” and never was it mentioned it was $10 for each of the 3 months I was paused for, so $30 total. At that point, once being fed up and realizing this place is just after money and not retaining their customers I decided to cancel my membership. The gentlemen who helped me explained it would be another 60 days before my cancellation would take effect and that I’d be charged as normal for the months up until. So, after not using the gym since May and stupidly on my part continuing to pay for the “just in case I wanted to go one day”, I now have to continue to pay for something I’m not going to use for another 60 days because “it’s in the contract.” I get contracts and what you sign up for, but I really urge people to do their research and ask the questions before allowing this gym to take any money from you, for equipment that is a lot of the time broken or in use because the gym itself is so small, and all of the hidden fees, truthfully this gym is not worth the money.

Mike P is a great guy to deal with. I had a membership here for years and had to cancel because im moving. It was a easy to cancel. Nothing bad to say about this place. I would recommend to everyone in the area.

December 23 2024 - Horrible experience, I went christmas shopping and didn’t have any money on my debit card after. I wake up the next day and urge fitness is charging me for my membership $60 instead of the regular $20 because I didn’t have anything in the account. It would be nice if there was a notification on the app or email that I had a payment due so I am prepared at least. I called and just talked to robots and had to wait 10 minutes just to talk to an actual person and they didn’t help me out at all just took my money.

Horrible experience. My son paid for a yearlong membership no problem. Antonio Cifelli signed up only for the duration of 1 year and didn't agree to extend his membership after it had ended! It took him 4 days going back and forward to try to cancel and see the manager at this place who was a no show anytime my son showed up, although he was told by the front desk personnel that the manager he is going to be there! My son finally canceled his membership at the office, sent in an email via their Urge's private website as he was told to do. Apparently Urge does not want people to use personal email accounts for cancelations, so we can't keep the record of it. Later that day he received an email, which we have a copy of ..'the sorry you have to go type' suggesting that annual membership is rolling into an automatic subscription, again, which we didn't sign up for! My son's membership ended in July 2024! Today we received a letter from an Aldous & Associates, a law firm demanding that we pay $259.90 for service we didn't receive! Listen, I am a law-abiding citizen with the FICO score of 850 for a reason, the same as my son because we never default on anything, and I am either going to major news network to create a lot of noise or I am going to see this place change and apologize for: a) mistreating its customers! b) making it extremely difficult for people to get out of contact & wasting our time! c) corporate greed! Nika G Tagieva. p.s. show me where exactly it stipulates in your contract that ' client must deliver a notarized, handwritten note directly into the hands of some manager (whose name is not to be given out to public by your staff and yes, we did ask multiple times, his name and the staff names are given out to public) during the peak hours of his operation, only to find him missing from his work place anytime we show up.

Solid gym for a public institution. My only gripe is that they need a second smith machine because the gym is filled with chicks who spam hip thrusts on that thing, and I’m just tryna get some incline bench reps on my Sam Sulek ish

Good for a college gym, decent size but can get packed around midday/afternoon. If the gym is on the slower/empty side, you can get a GREAT lift in

My high school gym has more equipment and machines. Kind of ridiculous I have to drive 20 min to pennsylvania to get a solid workout in.

my local public highschool had a three million dollar gym. Please please please at least fix the smith machine.

Rather good for TCNJ Students, cardio selection much more varied than the strength but as long as you go when it isn't very busy you should be fine. A bit smaller than a typical gym.

We love thus gym for gymnastics and swimming lessons. It's very popular, reasonably priced, and my 5 year old loves it. The parking can be tough as it's very busy.

This place is amazing they have done so much for my autistic son when we first started he could barely do anything. They took away my son PT and we need an activity to help him with his upper body strength as well as his socializing with other children 6 years ago we went to this center and he has come so far with the help,of this staff and the owner! He now competes on the Special Olympics gymnastics team and recently one four silver medals and three bronze and his confidence is through the roof and it is all because of this facility and their staff, There isn't enough I could say or do to show them what they have done for our family and other families as well this center does so many amazing things for special need families!

The parking lot is not big enough to accommodate all the people that come here. I always have trouble finding parking when I come here. Also swim lessons are overpriced for the 30 minutes your kid is in the pool. And they keep having them do the same things. My child always complains that he is not being challenged enough. It's like they're intentionally doing it to have you pay for more lessons.

My daughter loves the gymnastics program there.

My daughter attended her first gymnastics class last night after hearing about the center from some of her friends at daycare. From the moment we walked in for our trial class, everyone was expecting us and the teacher was very friendly and had a close eye on our daughter when trying activities out for the first time. It was an exciting hour-long class and there were lots of great activities to keep the kids challenged. The front desk attendant patiently answered all of my questions and was very helpful. My daughter can't wait to go back to class again! Excited that they also have an indoor pool for fall/winter swim lessons, indoor soccer, ballet/dance studio too... this place is awesome. Wish I hadn't waited so long to sign her up for gymnastics at Schafer!

Packer hall is where the pool and other activities are housed for the college of nj. It is a beautiful campus with large trees, 2 lakes, and wandering paths to other buildings. Parking is very limited most need permits. Seems to be well taken care of considering it is a state college

I always have a blast

Awesome Sound System

Great Expirience

I recently joined a fitness program at Simply Fit, and I’m absolutely loving it! The gym and the equipment selection is fantastic, and the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. The staff, personal trainers and the owner, Doug, go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Highly impressed!

Love this place! Had the pleasure to use SimplyFit for a couple years, and it still to this day remains one of my favorite gyms. It’s an awesome & spacious facility run by Doug, one of the kindest individuals you will ever meet. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Simply Fit is just awesome. I have taken aqua classes, lap swimming, chair mobility, and more. All of the above get five stars plus. But, I did not like the dance class. I felt too much time was spent teaching and not dancing. But I must say, every other class that I experienced was the best. Doug is also very hands on, polite, caring and enthusiastic in working with everyone (and always with a smile).

After a few years of no gym and trying to work out at home, I decided to sign up for the 3 week, 3 times a week personal training program at Simply-Fit in Ewing to get back into the gym. My Trainer John was outstanding while he pushed me to get the most out of the program. Simply-Fit is an excellent facilty with all of the machine, weights, classes and trainers that I know can motivate you to get back on a regular exercise program. Doug and his staff are knowledgeable, friendly and sincerely interested in helping their clients achive their fitness goals. Try it out - you won't regret it and there are no contracts or long term commitments required!!

The best gym I have ever been a part of. I was used to paying for the local in and out gym and didn't understand why I would never go despite enjoying exercise. This gym has everything I was looking for, great fitness classes for every fitness level. A warm community that is friendly and welcoming. Opportunities to socialize and celebrate after working out, such as their Coffee and Conversation on Wednesday mornings. They even organize lessons on nutrition, share recipes, cookie swaps for the holidays, cupcakes for birthdays. The trainers are amazing and knowledgeable. The gym owner is always there and his passion and dedication to this gym shows. It's so much fun you want to keep going back and it is no longer a chore to get to the gym. So happy I found this gym. I truly feel that with time, I will be able to achieve all my fitness goals and be in the best physical health of my life!

Don’t hesitate joining. I went to the gym approximately 1 week before joining just to look around and see for myself because the reviews were mixed. I can honestly say this is an excellent facility. 1- it’s always clean, 2- the staff is friendly but I don’t need much interaction with staff only at check-in and that’s a pleasant hello or Good morning. 3- the gym is well equipped and there is no need to wait on someone to finish using a machine or such as they have multiples of most machines and lots of dumbbells. 4- The female locker area is quite spacious , it always looks and smells clean & comfortable. They have updated lockers and lots of space so even if the gym was packed you’d still have a place to put your valuables. I’m not sure what afternoons/evenings are like but you can know using the crowd meter in the app. However, mornings are fairly clear or well balanced; it never felt over crowded. I just completed my 1st month of going 3 times per week and I honestly love the environment & the amenities 👍🏾

I've been a member of PF , Ewing since 2020. I took a break but came back in October 2024 and I'm very impressed. The gym is clean and the staff is friendly. Yes, people sit on their fones instead of using the machines. This isn't an issue for me. I ask if they'll be long and they'll either let me use the machine or finish their workout without their fone. It can get crowded after 4 pm.

Cool people up front, it will be cool if they can get a bike rack so we can chain it my bicycle got stolen 3 days ago at Ewing location

Every year this gym gets worse. The staff doesn't do anything to keep the gym clean and organized during the day. But the worst thing is the locker rooms. They are absolutely disgusting. The floors, showers and toilets are filthy. Also about 80% of the lockers are broken, so if you can't find a working one you just have to hope no one steals your stuff. I'd like to believe it will get better but they know they're the cheapest gym which will make people keep enrolling so there is not much need to try and improve.

I like this gym, decent price, clean when I go but not enough space. Cut my workout short today cause there were so many people in the area with the dumbbells and it looked like they were piled up on top of each other.
