Best Gym near Fairfield, New-jersey

Pretty decent gym, all the usual weights and machines . Some metal weighs some plastic. Huge turf room and basket ball areas. Rest rooms are clean . Staff is very friendly , Gympass/Active fit members welcomed.

Came here to try a spin class. The gym is very spacious. Lots of equipment and gym goers too. Attendees of the class are all nice and friendly. Can’t ask for a better first time experience :) definitely would consider this gym in the future.

Great staff, great equipment, clean locker rooms. The fact that they have FFW&T onsite is a plus. Parking can be a little crazy on the weekends, but I like that they are community-oriented by hosting the basketball tournaments there for the kids.

You look to have a nice facility. I didn’t get to see it as I don’t want to pay an extra $10 bucks to watch my son play basketball above the team fee. Purely on principle. Just build the 10 bucks into your tournament fee and don’t stick your hand in parents pockets at the door. Felt like a shameless money grab.

I go to ffwpt for physical therapy treatments after a car accident, and surgery. Jim, Dr Sean, and staff are great, I don't know what I would have done without them. Everyone is friendly and very helpful, I highly recommend ffwpt to anyone who has been injured or has had surgery.

The Manager Brie is lovely professional and went above and beyond for me when I had surgery and needed to freeze my membership. The policy the company has I don't agree with and I could not produce the ridiculous Proof they require to freeze a membership for medical reasons. It's a gym like why do I need to prove myself?! They make it so hard. But this woman Brie she was calm even though I was enraged and on pain medication but she was polite, kind and helpful!!! She calmed me down and even followed up with me. She fought for me to not have to pay the couple of moths that I couldn't get there to exercise and I truly appreciate her calling me back and following up with me. I didn't expect that. I think she deserves recognition for a job well done. I would have canceled otherwise all together but her service saved my business and also made my day. Thank you Brie !! They are lucky to have you there showing true care for my patronage. Job well done. Thats how you run a business. Corporate doesn't get it. But the people who are there day to day seeing their members they do get it. Service matters. I am grateful. Thanks again because most people these days just say anything and do absolutely nothing. I think she has a great character and very professional made me feel like she really cared about me. That's rare.

Well run, well organized, and usually clean as far as gym standards go. Men's showers could use a little extra cleaning, instead of the usual spray down I see them do. Some of the cables on the machines need some repair.

The staff here are very friendly and helpful, and they always greet each other with smiles on their faces! Comfortable and hygienic environment! The machine is also working well

I love this location! It’s my therapy when I need a calm relaxing gym where I can be fluid. My only issue is the weights of the med balls. They only have 4lbs 😞. Hopefully that changes soon until then I have to go to another location to make progress with my medball workout.

It's a great Gym, always clean, a never crowded. Lost of parking and staff are very helpful and courteous.

Retro fitness in Fairfield is one of my favorite gyms! The atmosphere is amazing here and the gym is always clean! The staff is amazing and super helpful! Out of all the gym I’ve been to this is definitely a favorite

This is my new home gym. I wasn’t sure about the change but this place is great! Helpful staff that are always welcoming. All of the new equipment provides optimal workout flow. I definitely recommend this location!

This is my home gym. It's awesome. Tons of equipment, really friendly staff that remembers you, and a very welcoming membership as I'm new to the weightlifting world and sometimes have a question. Everyone is super helpful!

This place is impressive, has state-of-the-art equipment! It's incredibly safe and spacious, making it the perfect environment for everyone to enjoy their workout. You'll find plenty of room to move.

Switched my home retro to come here because of a previous experience and got my routine down here with everything they offer. But, don't get too comfortable because for months of doing the same similar routines. Thank you this mornings Sunday kid for the eye opening experience. You get new time restrictions on things included in your membership that they boast on. They also don't want you using it so they shut down the whole room, and definitely don't think calling to preheat the sauna works cause it doesn't. Anyone have better suggestions locally?

I have two kids learning pole vaulting at Apex. Both fell in love with the sport when they tried it at Apex, and now they are being equipped in tools that help them succeed. Grateful for the staff at Apex.

The instructors and not civil as well as disruptive at meets when things don’t go their way. Many times I’ve attended meets where the instructors from Apex yell and insight arguments with other coaches for no good reason rather and civilly approaching and discussing their disagreements like adults. Overall, very little to say about the instruction they give to students, but their demeanor at meets can be very unprofessional. As an athlete myself, I was extremely discourage and upset to see that a proclaimed teacher and lover of the sport would insult me on my technique because he was mad at my coach for a completely unrelated discussion.

This dude handles beginners like he's already taught a million of them, a number he's probably getting close to. Then, on the same runway, you'll see guys jumping 17'+ and girls jumping 13'+. There is a crazy range of skill levels that choose this club over others.

As an adult who still vaults I can't stress enough how great of an environment this is for learning, challenging yourself, and having a great time doing it. No matter your age, if you're interested in pole vault then this is the place to be.

A great place to Vault and learn how to jump. Branko and his team gives everyone top notch coaching and creates an welcoming and diverse atmosphere for all to enjoy

Wonderful environment for youth learning. Training staff is very attentive and knowledgeable. Coach Dave is a credit to the sport and is passing along a legacy to the community.

Cordoba is a great place to train. My daughter Kira has learned so much from Dave and received so much support from him and the other coaches. They are very experienced coaches. She always gets good training partners and always feels at home.

Enrolled my son for wrestling with Dave and he absolutely loves it. I wanted him to improve body awareness, balance, coordination and the ability to control someone else. Not to mention develop important qualities such as self esteem, sportsmanship, work ethic and leadership skills. Trainers are very attentive and straightforward, they moved to a new bigger gym and have classes 4 times a week plus privates. Call or email for more information.

I researched and scouted many wrestling schools for my two children age 12 and 9. Coach Cordoba came highly recommended but I wanted to make my decision based on what my wife and I thought of the schools as well as using input from our children. We decided to go to Cordoba Trained. Coach Dave quickly identified areas of weaknesses and worked tirelessly to improve them drastically. He's worked on my children's techniques but more importantly, the mental aspect with which they approached the matches. Within a few months, I am astonished at the progress. I only regret not having found Coach Dave sooner.

I was with dave for 3 years and then i moved dave is my favorite wrestling coach in world i miss being with him and if you want to start wrestling go there and dave thank you so much

I recommend this for every athlete. The techniques that utilize helps build confidence in my son. The results are great as one of his coaches said hey he is really fast. Thank you Parisi. A must for every kid. Builds confidence and endurance.

My 8yr old son has been coming to Parisi since the Summer of 2023, and I’ve seen a lot of improvement on his agility and strength. Parisi doesn’t focus on a specific sport skill, but focuses on the ability of the athlete. The instructors are attentive, nice and fun. They make the session fun by incorporating speed and strength into the game.

My son has been going to Parisi since he was 7 and his growth has been steady and consistent. Cirilo and his team are amazing, I'd recommend this school to anyone looking to develop their child at a young age.

I cannot say enough good things about Parisi’s in Fairfield. Coach Cirilo and his staff are extremely compassionate, knowledgeable, and really take the extra time to not only work with the kids, but to get to know them as well. Over the last 3 months, I have seen my son grow as an athlete; not only getting better with his skills and strength, but his confidence as well. I attribute this to Parisi! He truly loves training there and enjoys each session. I will definitely continue to have him train at Parisi!

My daughter has been attending the Parisi Speed School for a few weeks, and her speed, agility, and confidence have improved significantly. I would recommend this school for all athletes who want to gain valuable skills for their respective sport in a positive environment with coaches who care.

I am very disappointed. I had heard about this place from people in the community. I wanted my daughter to try it out. I called several times and left messages. I direct messaged them on Instagram. No one returned my calls or messages. It is hard to believe this place is any good if there is zero customer service. I would never recommend this place to anyone who asked based purely on their response (or lack there of)- I can only imagine how they do business. Take your money some place else. One that has time for you.

It's so nice to have access to a solid technical training center. I feel like every soccer academy, clinic, school, etc.... just focuses on 3v3, 4v4, 5v5... which is good but how are players supposed to advance if they don't work on foot skills to create space, beat a player 1v1, and have a better touch on the ball!? Yes there are coaches available to train kids for over $60 an hour... but that's not for most people. Danny consistently accelerates foot skills for his students. My son has only attended one clinic so far and we will be signing all the time moving forward.

We enrolled for the summer nights training on June 9 expecting to practice a couple times per week as noted on the website. We were told to select only one night a week when we responded to the email regarding scheduling. Then we received an email telling us we will be refunded because over 700 players are on the roster. Poor management. Enrollment should have been stopped once they reached their max capacity.

Great training with a a trainer/coach that loves teaching. Very passionate about making his trainees learn grow and loves to go to games to watch them in action. Thank you Danny!!! Gabriela and Giancarlo love your training!!!!

Is your child 101% into soccer? This is the place for him/her!

I've trained at various gyms over the years, but Rebel Strength and Performance stands out above the rest. The trainers here are top-notch, creating a challenging yet supportive and comfortable environment. Every session feels purposeful, and I've seen significant improvements in both strength and overall fitness. A truly exceptional experience!

Adding to my original post: I did not take before pictures. These were taken on July 1, 2023 and March 20, 2024. My progress has been amazing! I’ve received nutritional & lifestyle advice and I’ve participated in fun challenges along the way. This gym has made me look forward to going to the gym! The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. The staff gets to know you and your goals and needs. Help and guidance are readily provided. Cutting edge knowledge and techniques are shared and explained. Highly recommend! I’ve found my forever gym home!

Shoutout to Rebel Training Center! We are incredibly grateful for the amazing team at Rebel Training Center who have trained both of our kids and helped them level up their skills! From the personalized softball and Baseball training programs to the supportive and motivating environment, Rebel Training Center has truly made a difference. Our kids have not only improved their physical abilities but have also gained confidence and discipline. Thank you, Rebel Training Center, for your dedication and expertise. We highly recommend your services to anyone looking to take their training to the next level! #RebelTrainingCenter #Fitness #Training #LevelUp #Grateful #HighlyRecommend

Rebel has been a huge change in my life. The older I get maintaining a healthy weight IS important but developing and maintaining muscle is more important. The transformation I see in myself and other team members of all ages at Rebel is amazing!! And I challenge you to find a more knowledgeable, informative, personable and funny staff! "You get what you put into it".😉

I think Rebel Strength and Performance is a great place to go and get stronger. I play baseball and ever since I started going there I have been driving the ball much better. Everyone there is nice and they help me out a lot. If you want to get stronger than I recommend that you go to Rebel Strength and Performance.

Vizzio's Institute of Martial Arts is the absolute best Kung Fu and Kickboxing school period! My son and I have been attending now for 5 years and it has done wonderful things for both of us. Helping my son with focus and self-esteem, overcoming fears and giving him an overall confidence boost he needed to face his teen years and now young adulthood. For me to get back in shape and to test my strength, both physical and mental, but most importantly it has been an avenue for me to find clarity and focus, and through that, a happier and healthier life. Si-Jer Peaches is an incredible instructor and physical trainer, knowledgeable in all areas. Once you join, she is determined to make you better in every way possible through practice, discipline, love and care for her students. I could not recommend this school more!!

I've been going to Vizzio's kickboxing class for 4 years and just took up kung-fu a year ago. It's an incredible workout. The instructors really know how to assess your level and still challenge you. I always feel like a new person after a class. Give it a try!

My son started training here in March 2015. Training here has changed his life. Peaches Vizzio is strict and fun at the same time. The kids learn respect, work hard and dedication. She also teaches Adult Kickboxing classes. I started 10 months ago and have lost over 25 lbs. I would recommend this school to anyone.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Vizzio's Kung Fu School and the entire Vizzio family. My son started here when he was 3 years old and we lived nearby. At first, we were just looking to enroll my son into an activity that would keep him active and having fun. What started as 'obstacle course fun' for him turned into a more devoted Kung Fu practice. We now live up in Bergen County, but still drive to the school several times a week to train with Si-Jer Peaches. She instills discipline, self-motivation, self-respect, and character into these kids. It's much more than just that art and practice of Kung Fu. The entire family is involved, and grew up practicing as well. I HIGHLY recommend trying out a class for yourself or your little one. Happy to answer any questions if there's a way to reach out directly on here.

I signed up on 11/11 and just finished my second session tonight. I must say I feel great, I am learning, and Having fun at the same time. Classes are awesome, fun, and engaging! Masters are great, amazing group of members (family), and awesome environment. So excited to be part of an amazing group and I CANNOT wait to learn more and have some fun 🤩 it’s a 5 star for me.
