Best Gym near Howell-township, New-jersey

The people here are so nice. I love seeing the same friendly faces every day. Plenty of equipment to use. I do wish that the classes had more participants and better instructors. This is the reason I don’t take them. I also wish there were a yoga class available. If you are good at leading your own workout, this is a great place to go. And the price is certainly right!

Everyone here is so friendly and welcoming. They do not pressure anything on you. Especially Karen she has been a great help with getting me into the gym and knowledge of all the amenities and services they provide. This gym is amazing. The equipments are clean and so are the restrooms and locker rooms. Highly recommend.

Great fitness center! LA has a diverse range of well-maintained equipment, clean facilities, convenient location, flexible hours, a variety of classes, supportive staff, a welcoming community atmosphere, personal training options, and a price point that fits your budget, allowing you to achieve your fitness goals comfortably and effectively! Would def recommend to a friend!

I recently visited the LA Fitness in Howell, NJ, and had a fantastic experience, especially thanks to Karen. She went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed and provided such a positive, welcoming atmosphere. From explaining membership details to helping me get familiar with the facility, Karen was incredibly helpful and patient, making me feel comfortable and motivated to start my fitness journey here. The gym itself is well-equipped, clean, and has a variety of classes to fit different fitness levels. But Karen's warm and professional demeanor truly made this visit stand out. I highly recommend this location for anyone in the area!

LA Fitness Howell - Exemplary gym with most types of exercise equipment that one would need. Staff are friendly and always helpful. Special mention to Naija who is always welcoming with a smile and eagerness to help, offer direction, and resolve issues when necessary.

Well, everything really. Facilities are fantastic, especially for the price I'm paying. Everything is always in working condition and squeaky clean. Great selection of machines, good amount of racks, benches, and nice tools for functional training. Little bit of everything. *If I could make one request regarding equipment I'd love there to be a rope so I can do proper sled pulls! it's a shame to have a sled without a rope to work with it. Staff is always friendly and helpful, it feels very inviting walking through your doors at Retro Howell. And they make the best smoothies (IT'S A BIG DEAL), compared to all other Retro locations I tried. Keep doing what you're doing, love being your member.

Gym is clean and has everything you need for a good workout but the real star of the show is the front desk attendent Jake. I came in for a day pass with my wife and he treated us like we were members for years. His level of service is something you’d find at a $500 a month Equinox in the city. Definitely will be back!

The atmosphere at this club is welcoming and fun. The staff are top notch and always checking in with members and happy to help. We love this club!!!!

Very clean, adequate variety of equipment, there is a definite need for expansion. More space and more equipment would put this gym in "Elite Gym " status.

Staff is PHENOMENAL! I'm Handicapped with no lower leg use and Staff go out of their way to be accommodative!! Always greeted with a big smile! Atmosphere, temperatures type of equiptment is perfect! VERY CLEAN AND NEAT!!!! As a long time bodybuilder this is the RIGHT PLACE for all types of Training!!

My experience with this Stretch lab is a mixed review . Manager who just got on board Ethan was not very nice and Richie the flexologist was very professional and good . I did go to the Lab in Wall and their management was much more organized. .

I get very stiff in my shoulders, low back, glutes and hips. I had been taking Advil and Tylenol almost daily for 10-12 months. I don't have the attention span to dedicate 25-50 minutes of stretching myself at home nor can I stretch myself as deeply as they do. I did the intro 50 minute session with JohnJoseph last month and what a great experience! It was relaxing and extremely effective. I remained 100% pain free and more mobile for 4+ weeks. I'm now going back for another session that will hopefully keep me limber and pain free for another month. Worth every penny for me.

I had a 50 minute introductory rate stretch session with Syd tonight. I can’t say enough positive comments. I feel great. Booked another session for next week. Recommend trying it. It did feel better than a massage, which I do get regularly. This is exactly what I needed-assisted stretching.

I did my first session at Stretch Lab at their introductory rate yesterday. The studio is very clean and calm, the front desk receptionist and also the stretch therapist (not sure what her title actually is?) were both extremely kind and welcoming. I gave this 3 stars because I was expecting a stretch experience that I couldn’t do at home. However, everything was quite basic and it felt like a waste of time and money even at the introductory rate. Anyone with a basic knowledge of stretching need not go here. I can see this being beneficial for someone with major mobility issues but chances are they are going to an actual physical therapist anyway. The membership prices are not justified by the stretch experience I had there.

I felt nice and loose leaving stretch labs. Richie did a good job and was a pleasure to talk to. He was polite respectful definitely made me feel comfortable.

My son has opened up so since he started martial arts. He's becoming more confident in himself and disciplined. His coordination improved, he had terrible balance when he first started and now he has better balance, able to kick and punch. He was so quiet and now he had the loudest "Hi-yahh's" My son loves Master Brian, especially when they play Ninja Ninja Turtle. Master Tony is great also and well as all the other staff. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. We would recommend Inner Power to anyone looking to join. They are the BEST!

My 8 year old daughter had tried soccer, softball, gymnastics and just didn’t have the desire to continue with those sports. My wife and I decided to take her for a trial class at Inner Power Martial Arts. All I can say is Master Brian McCann and ALL the staff and instructors at Inner Power are extremely attentive and genuinely care about helping all their students. They create a positive and fun environment for the kids to feel confident during their martial arts journey! My daughter went from taking 1 class a week to asking us to take 2 classes per week. That’s how much she loves Inner Power Martial Arts!! We highly recommend this establishment!!

My older one started two and a half years ago and we had to move him from one to two days per week because he enjoys it so much! My younger one (who is not quite social) loves the school he looks forward to his class each week and I see him opening up to his instructors and the other children in the class. All the instructors are so patient with them. My older one has talked about getting his black belt and working for Master McCann. —Judy Lorenzo Sousa

This review is LONG overdue! Inner Power Martial Arts provided a wonderful event here through our PTO at Land O' Pines. They had a group of kids and taught them all about martial arts, and made it SO much fun for our kids! We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and HIGHLY recommend this Karate School to anyone looking to try out classes for their kids, or even themselves. On behalf of myself as a parent, and the Land O' Pines PTO, THANK YOU for a wonderful experience!!! 10 out of 10 stars!!!!

There is only one school of martial arts of which you or your child should be students. It’s Inner Power. Master McCann and his team of instructors run a program that is absolutely the best in Monmouth County. My youngest daughter (4-years-old) is a student in the Little Dragons class. She is receiving such an enriched martial arts experience. Black belts Mr. Scott, Mr. Antonio, Mr. Gabe, and Mr. Liam run an EXCELLENT program for little ones. For the entire class period, there are high energy engaging activities, positive encouragement, teaching of proper form, teaching of proper technique, and an overall focus on following directions, respecting tradition and loyalty to commitment. As a young woman of 25 years old, now 12 years ago, I trained with Master McCann. It was one of the proudest periods of my life. My heart is so happy to see my youngest child on the mat. Please consider becoming members of this program. It will be one of the best investments you can make in your children’s education. Thank you.

I joined Max Challenge at the start of July, and I can honestly say I’m now the healthiest version of myself than I’ve ever been ! I genuinely look forward to every class. The variety keeps things exciting, and the instructors are so supportive. Mike, Tracey and all of the Max instructors at Howell are fantastic; they motivate you, offer personalized tips, and make every session feel both tough and rewarding. The nutrition plan is also an incredible guide to help build healthier eating habits, and it’s really helped me make lasting changes to my lifestyle. I can't recommend Max Challenge enough — it’s been a game-changer for me!

Joining The Max Challenge has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made ! The program is great and the instructors are supportive and motivating ! I’ve met some wonderful people along the way too !! It’s really a great place to go to get fit !!

The Max Challenge of Howell has a team of dedicated instructors who bring on the challenge every class! The instructors are accommodating to all members and their individual abilities. As a new member, I was not sure how I’d fit in. The instructors are helpful, engaging, and fun! Each class has men and women participating who encourage other members to do their personal best. It’s an exciting and encouraging environment. Howell has a great team!

It's the only gym where you look forward to going to class. The owners, teachers, and your fellow gym mates all support you. You feel so welcomed there and you work at your own pace without judgement. The best part if all is that you can see changes right away, you have more energy, feel better, loose weight, and tone up. Why not try it for yourself?

The Max has given me the opportunity to get my exercise regiment back into my schedule and get that full body workout in every week. Not only do you feel great, you have the support of The Max family to keep you motivated! I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Hi. I’ve attended two sessions at the Yoga Barn so far, with more to come. The first session was a gentle yoga and crafting experience. The second session was a full day of restorative yoga, guided meditation, essential oil crafting and blending, sound healing, journaling and more. These were really fulfilling experiences for me and my best friend. The sessions left me feeling really at peace and very limber. I enthusiastically recommend this facility and it’s instructor, as it is a peaceful, joyful setting designed to stimulate and enhance all the senses. Provided were healthy vegan/gluten free snacks and/or meals, tea and water, equipment such as mats, blocks, blankets, bolsters, enrichment materials, flower crowns, crafting supplies, sanitary & pleasant bathroom accommodations, and fire pit access (weather permitting.) Special accommodations can be made for overnight stays. The yoga and other enrichments are conducted in a red and white climate controlled barn that once housed two Clydesdale horses. I found the setting and companionship to be both grounding and encouraging. The Yoga Barn is located in picturesque, lush farmland; it also serves as an animal rescue and some of its current residents that I interacted with include Ella the pig, a mini horse, a small donkey, a Labrador Retriever… my inner child and adult self were extremely content with the surroundings and participants, both two legged and four. Thank you so much. Namaste.

I’d give 10 stars if I could!!! Yoga Barn is NJ’s best yoga and meditation retreat!! If you’re feeling the exhaustion of the hustle and bustle, and need to slow down to reconnect with yourself, this retreat is for you! Yoga Barn is located on a private farm surrounded by trees and greenery about an hour from NYC or Philadelphia that houses friendly rescue animals (pig, ponies, dog, etc.). The vibe immediately provides a sense of relaxation and gratitude. The day started with a light breakfast, followed by group introductions, manifestation journaling, and yoga in an intimate old horse barn that has been beautifully refurbished into a boho/rustic yoga barn. After a delicious lunch provided from a local restaurant (who doesn’t love a small business that supports other small businesses?!), we spent time getting to know one another around the fire pit, took leisurely strolls on the farm to meet the animals, and then created a special take home aromatherapy oil that smelled heavenly. At around 2pm, we moved into the main house for meditation, red light therapy, restorative yoga, and sound bowl therapy with ancient chymes. The owner Melaine expertly guided use through each practice and provided us with education on how and why each movement is important to our health and wellness. This helped each attendee to understand the importance of her teachings. Our day ended around 4pm and after a few months of a hectic work/life balance I left feeling renewed and reconnected to my personal goals for 2023. But the best part is I formed connections with each and every person who attended. I really feel I left with new relationships and friendships with other liked minded people ❤️. Last thing I’d like to add is Yoga Barn is perfect for people who want to connect with themselves or others, but would also be amazing for off-site corporate events, bridal or birthday parties, or even for yogis who want to rent this pace to offer workshops to their students. The options are endless so reach out to Melaine and I’m sure she’d be happy to work with you to a create special bespoke yoga and meditation event. Seriously if you made it this far on my testimonial, book now! You won’t regret it!!! I’m personally gifting this retreat to loved ones as Christmas gifts. I hope your experience is as magical as mine.

What an amazing experience… the yoga barn is such a welcoming healing space …Melanie guides you to that place of peace … through yoga … restorative yoga… meditation…sound healing … journaling… awareness of the present moment … inspiring your soul to continue on your journey …

Such an amazing experience at Yoga Barn. Melanie is the best ever!

A Wonderful Teacher, Property & Natural Vibe!

I've been a member of Jersey Elite Gym for and I can honestly say it's been one of the best decisions I've made for my health and fitness. The gym is always clean and well-maintained, with a wide range of equipment and personnel training. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they're always willing to help with any questions or concerns. I've taken advantage of the personal training sessions, and I've seen significant improvements in my overall fitness and well-being. The community at Jersey Elite Gym is supportive and motivating, and it's great to be surrounded by like-minded individuals who share similar goals. The gym's hours of operation are convenient, and the location is easily accessible.

I am here from out of town and I booked a personal training session with Christopher. It was awesome! Christopher is knowledgeable and motivating! I ended up doing 3 sessions with him. The gym has everything for a great workout. I visit often and it will be my new place to work out while I’m here.

The best gym! The equipment is great, the personal trainers are knowledgeable and helpful! Highly recommend this gym if you are looking to get into shape

Best of the best! Great equipment, owner, trainers.

Great gym , clean, friendly owner and being open 24/7 is a huge plus

I joined Eze 6 weeks ago for their 6 week challenge. My goal for the challenge was to get back on my nutrition and focus on getting toned for my upcoming wedding. I could not believe within 6 weeks the physical and mental transformation I had. It was the best decision I made for myself. Not only did I join a gym, reach the goals I wanted, I found a community within the gym that was welcoming. Each coach made sure always come up to me during my classes. And the other members were equally as nice. The coaches and members made this experience even better. I can’t wait to continue showing up here every day and making lifestyle changes for myself!

EZE Fit Howell is fantastic! The trainers are truly excellent — knowledgeable, motivating, and dedicated to helping you reach your goals. Their meal plans are amazing and easy to follow, making it so much simpler to stay on track with healthy eating. The overall atmosphere is supportive and inspiring, which keeps me coming back. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real results and a great fitness community!

EzeFit Howell is an amazing gym. A friend recommended them to me to restart my fitness and well being journey. The minute I walked in (full of nerves) I felt welcomed, encouraged and mostly not judged. The classes are 60 mins of fun, the coaches are attentive and encouraging. All of them are wonderful especially coach/owner Jon. Joining the gym even a short time ago, has changed me mentally and physically . The amount of confidence growth and strength this gym has helped me achieve is something that I will be forever grateful for. I'm going to continue this journey with Eze Fit and can't wait to see what I will achieve with their encouragement and direction.

I recently joined to participate in the 6-week challenge, it has been incredible! From the very first class, I realized I was in for an intense workout that truly pushed my limits. Each class has been challenging, yet rewarding. One of the standout aspects of EZE fit is the coaching staff. Every coach I've met has been incredibly supportive and motivating, providing so much encouragement during the class.

As someone who has not been to a gym in a hundred years, is terrifyingly intimidated by the thought of even going to a gym, and being 100% clueless, I have to say I love this gym. Everyone has been so friendly, helpful and patient. I leave knowing it was well worth it. If your reading this trying to find a good reason to join, just pull the trigger. You wont be disappointed.
