Best Gym near Marlboro-township, New-jersey

Our family joined Jersey Strong a month ago & we’re so happy we did. John (Marlboro location) was so professional & helpful in explaining the membership that we bypassed the free trial & joined up. There was no pressure & he’s certainly an asset to Jersey Strong. He was knowledgeable and answered every question & we didn’t feel rushed. We’ve gone back and forth between the Manalapan & Marlboro location & both are fantastic. I love that the gyms are clean & the equipment well kept. Both locations are spacious, and have plenty of equipment to please everyone! Never overcrowded & a nice mixed crowd. The 24 hour access at the Marlboro location is also a huge benefit. They have a ladies only section, group classes, studio classes, customized workouts, personal coaching, turf training, etc. Something for everyone! There’s plenty of parking in both those locations we’ve worked out at. I also like that they have wipe stations. Another huge benefit is that you have several Jersey Strong locations to choose from. After just 1 month I’ve seen enough to confidently recommend a Jersey Strong membership. Go to Marlboro & ask for John! If you found my review helpful, please leave a thumbs up. Have a great day!

Donna is one of the best instructors I have had for any fitness group class. Her Zumba classes are always so much fun and effective. The music and dance moves have just the right mix of dance and fitness, and the music is always great. Donna brings high energy, smiles and enthusiasm to every class no matter what day or time. Love the community she has created - everyone is so welcoming! Thank you Donna. -Angelina

I really enjoy the group classes! I have taken classes with Donna, Alexa and Stephanie and they are all excellent. Their instruction is easy to follow and the music is fun to listen to. I feel great every time I leave the gym!

My vote is for one and only one. Donna, my favorite and best of all. Donna is a wonderful Zumba instructor. If I would recommend Jersey Strong to anyone, it's because of her. I have to say she's one of main reasons why I'm still a member because of her fun class. I can't imagine this place without her ❤️

I really love taking Jessica's class on Tuesday nights as well as Craig's classes on Saturdays/Thursdays. The work out is challenging, and I love the hard work and energy they put into the class. Both classes are so much fun, and I look forward to both classes when I can make it. Thank you for all the hard work you put in!

I signed up this year after hitting a plateau, this place absolutely CHANGED the way I lift. The energy at this gym is just different. The members ARCH attract is top tier, respectful and everyone is just great. The owners, staff, trainers all care about you and it shows, since I’ve started they’ve went above and beyond. Equipment is the best quality and they always have new pieces coming in (blows my mind). The gym has it all and I’m looking forward to 2025 @ ARCH.

Joining Arch Training has helped me realize that there is so much more that I can do than just throwing weights around. If it wasn’t for Dom talking me into taking a Hyrox class I’m not sure I would have taken the next steps in improving my overall health. Thanks to Arch Training I found the next levels to my training and fitness goals.

Every class is different and always challenging. The trainers are always welcoming and friendly. They are constantly updating the gym. I mean constantly. New equipment every month. I joined in 2019 and have never considered changing ever. Great place!!

Great gym. Awesome pieces of equipment. It’s always clean and organized. Good music and vibe. I love the open garage doors in the summer and the option to train outside

Hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to! Both the staff and equipment is top tier! All of the staff is super friendly, however, Pete is the best! Pete takes the time to fully understand your fitness goals and monitors your progress in accordance with your goals meticulously (he has records of my workouts from when we started 5 years ago)! Pete doesn’t just tell you what exercise to do: he tells you why and makes modifications to ensure it is working for you. The equipment here is like no other and will ensure you have the best workout and hit every muscle. Go check out arch and once you fall in love with the facility, treat yourself to achieving your fitness goals with an amazing trainer like Pete!

This won't mean much to many but I've been in pain on my left side for over two years....I pulled my back lifting a heavy ball at the gym and twisting a bit wrong and all my occasional aches and pains became constant..... my back my knee my hip.... some days I'd be limping into work in excruciating pain but wasn't willing to quit my job... I needed to try and find someone to help me fix this.... I was told horrible things like I needed knee surgery, an eventual hip replacement, even stop working. I couldn't and didn't accept any of it. I was depressed, gaining weight from lack of movement, and I felt defeated many days. I tried every therapy, injection, pain medication to no avail. It was discouraging and depressing... I took some courses on my own that involved biomechanics and pain management and they started making sense in how to heal my body..... the healing wasn't necessarily going to come from all the stretching, cracking, massaging, heating, icing, that someone else was doing to me on top of small careful movements and exercises that I knew were not effective it was something else. I finally found Dr. Jeremy who understood the things I was talking about with helping myself through breathing and movement but I needed professional guidance. He totally understands the biomechanics approach and actually uses it in his practice....but the thing I love most about working with him is that if I want to try something he encourages me to try it and coaches me through instead of saying I don't think you should do that. So here I am doing just that on this crazy machine right after he had me do a deadlift I haven't done in just about 3 years!! I'm starting to feel strong again and have hope that I can fully recover and get fit and strong again. I understand how to help others do that... now I can help myself do it while getting out of chronic pain. Thanks Dr. Jeremy for your professional guidance, your undivided attention during sessions, and for truly caring about the success of your patients.... it means the world!

Went to at least four different chiropractors to help me out with my back problem, but all I noticed was they were all doing the same thing And getting nowhere, I heard about Jeremy and his team figured it would be my last hope for feeling better and all I can say is what an amazing experience. My back pain finally resolved itself and I would recommend him to anyone who is interested healing their pain, Jeremy is truly passionate about what he does.

Dr. Jeremy and Dr. Nate are exceptional rehabilitation specialists. I had been struggling with back pain, nerve issues, and disc problems for a long time. Despite trying everything from YouTube stretches to visiting various doctors, the only advice I received was to stop lifting and take painkillers—neither of which addressed the root cause of my pain. I discovered Dr. Jeremy on Instagram, filled out his intake form, and scheduled an appointment. From the very beginning, his approach was straightforward and professional. He outlined a clear plan, setting realistic expectations for both his role and mine in the recovery process. After each session, I noticed significant improvements in my mobility, and my pain gradually diminished. The exercises he provided for me to do at home were incredibly effective in complementing the in-person treatments. Within just two to three weeks, I was able to return to squatting, deadlifting, practicing jiu-jitsu, working out and work—all completely pain-free. This was achieved without surgery, injections, or wasted time. If you’re struggling with similar issues, I highly recommend checking out Dr. Jeremy. His expertise and personalized approach truly make a difference.

If you're looking to improve your situation and truly address the root causes of your pain, this is the place to go. I came in with significant back and leg pain, and the care I received here was exceptional. Dr. Nate, the practitioner I directly worked with, deserves special recognition. He was incredibly attentive, responsive, and genuinely invested in my recovery. Not only did he work to get me out of pain, but he also took the time to educate me on why I was experiencing it in the first place. The team doesn’t just treat the symptoms—they empower you with the knowledge and tools to stay pain-free in the long term. The entire experience was outstanding. It’s clear that the staff here truly care about their patients and are committed to providing top-notch care. Dr. Nate went above and beyond, and I can’t recommend him and RSM Sports Medicine and Rehab enough. 10/10—absolutely recommend!

Dr. Jeremy is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. The energy and enthusiasm he brings to each session are unmatched. He got me back to doing exercises in the gym I did not think were possible again. Shout-out Dr. Nate too, he was big part of my recovery. The RSM team is the best in the business!

I am loving the high energy classes and the nutrition guidance. All the instructors are fun and keep the classes fresh, never boring or repetitive. I love the music, it's so high energy! 45 minutes fly by! Highly recommend.

The best gym is the one you go to every day or most of the days of the week. That’s how Max is, the group training, motivation and friendly environment that it provides makes it a great place for workout! Adelina, Michele and Alison and all the other friendly instructors make sure that everyone is taking care of. It can be a life changing experience for some people who are too busy with work- life challenges or health problems. I personally look forward to going to the Max every morning and recommend it for all age groups!

The greatest workout classes I’ve ever taken. Adelina rocks she motivates you like no other. Every instructor top notch. Come join our Max family you’ll be so happy you did!!

I have been a Manalapan Maxer for several years. I took a hiatus in 2019 and now am back. My squad, Marlboro Emergency Services was part of the Marlboro Day of Giving and I was privileged to be a winner of a 10 week challenge. Every class is always a challenge- testing boundaries with the support of the class instructors and fellow Maxers. It never ceases to amaze me the different routines at each session. Never dull always exhilarating. The best 45 minutes of my day. I was really surprised when I looked at my Oura ring stats after a kick boxing class that I burned 845 in calories. This is a workout. Fun and quick. Plus with the In house nutritional advise and the weekly meal plans and the assistance of an app that makes tracking metrics simple and fun. I can go on.

I can't believe I'm actually excited to get up for a 6am class at the gym. The people here are kind, motivating and welcoming. Randi is an amazing instructor and pays attention to individuals needs without calling us out or pushing too far. We never repeat the same workout, so it never gets boring. Always a new challenge. You get out of it what you put in, so show up and do the work, and you'll feel the progress!

I am writing this review to extend my sincere gratitude towards our trainer, Ryan. His guidance and support have been instrumental in helping me discover a newfound passion for weightlifting. As a beginner, the gym environment was quite daunting for me, and I was initially hesitant to engage with the heavy machinery. Ryan's approach has been both encouraging and enlightening: He allowed me to proceed at my own pace, ensuring that I never felt overwhelmed or pressured. His motivational words were always appreciated and gave me the confidence to push my boundaries. The clear instructions he provided for each machine were very useful, and his explanations on why we use each one were very enlightening. His dedication and enthusiasm have instilled in me a love for fitness to the extent that a week without visiting the gym feels incomplete. For those who are new to the gym, I strongly recommend Ryan as a personal trainer. His methods are not only safe but also highly beneficial in maximizing your gym experience. Working with him will undoubtedly give you the knowledge and confidence to navigate your fitness journey successfully.

Went there for 4 years and loved it until I got a trainer there. I joined a new gym and didn’t go to ovox for a month. My trainer Daniel Pearl charged me for 4 training sessions without me knowing. They refunded my money after I showed them text of my trainer asking me to train and me clearly saying I couldn’t. What bothered me is that during this process my trainer never called to apologize or clear the air, because he was clearly robbing me over a course of a month and their management saw texts of one of their employees stealing from a member and their response was to make sure me and him were clear next time. These people obviously allow their employees to charge members without them being there and if they get caught they protect protect their employees. Bad Managment and thieves

More like 10 stars... Everyone is awesome at Ovox, from Stu the owner to all the members. It is a real deal gym with amazing equipment. I've also can't speak more highly over the personal training. I've been working with Nick Wallace and I couldn't be any happier. He is extremely knowledgeable and supportive! He just gets the mind muscle connection and keeps our sessions challenging but safe.

I don’t live here & decided to go to Ovox to workout for the day. It was a waste of time. The male working the front desk was very rude and reluctant to let me & my sister train there for $25 for the day. We took a 30 minute toning class first in the studio & then went into the gym after to do some cardio, which obviously did not happen. We will not be back.

Great facility which is extremely well maintained and managed. Would highly recommend it.

I’ve been a member of Kingdom for nearly two years, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best gyms in Monmouth County. The range of equipment is outstanding, providing everything you need to effectively train every muscle group. Even during peak hours, from 4-7 pm, I never have to wait long to access the machines I need, which is a testament to how well the gym is managed. Jon, the owner, has created an exceptional environment. His dedication to building a positive gym culture is evident, and it truly enhances the overall experience.

Will definitely be coming back to this gym, highly recommend if you’re looking for an awesome lift with top tier equipment. Zinah was super friendly and welcoming upon arrival and super helpful if we needed anything. Vibes are unmatched 💪🏼 Thanks again !

Great atmosphere. High end equipment with a welcoming environment. Feels more like a ‘club’ atmosphere as opposed to a mall like other places. Great lighting, showers are good. Well maintained. Events are fun too. Would recommend to someone who wants to legitimately pursue and learn about fitness.

Kingdom Gym in Morganville is amazing! The staff is friendly, the facility is clean and well-equipped, and the atmosphere is motivating. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, the trainers provide great support. Highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to reach their fitness goals! Five stars!

Amazing gym with every piece of equipment you could want and one of the best communities I've ever seen. You walk in and immediately feel at home. Can't imagine training anywhere else.

Been like this for a year. Stairs are always packed. Me and my wife pay $100 a month for separate memberships but same crappy service. I’ll remove this review once the machine is fixed.

By far the best gym with plenty of parking and very clean. It can get pretty packed if you go without planning but the app provides the business of the gym so if it fits your schedule you can go earlier or later in the day. They have a nice sized basketball court and swimming pool. The Suana and steam room are always my favorite part after a workout. I have never seen them to be out of order or closed. The classes can also get pretty packed, a lot of people go to this gym (needless to say)! My overall experience here has been great and top choice from all gyms I have been to so far!

For the most part, it’s a nice gym and atmosphere with amenities and employees to like. However with how stingy they can be with money (sometimes) you think they would build the place properly so that the ceiling does not leak every other day. But my biggest thing was when someone stole my shoes from that basketball court, that were a gift from my girlfriend and I had expensive orthotics in them as well. And the final response I ended up getting from one of the female managers was that it would take them hours to go through the camera footage so I’m sol. I tried emphasizing the importance and value of those shoes to them, but it was too much of a bother in the end to do their job and help a paying customer.

All of my friends recently made the switch to attend this gym so that’s what made me originally want to get a membership here. I went online and signed up for the $30 a month membership (plus enrollment fee). Upon arriving I sign in with the scanner like any normal gym. I walk around for a bit, find my friend, and eventually set my stuff down on the bench press. I’m warming up and not even 5 minutes into my workout an employee came up to me and asked me to come to the front desk. Now, I had read that new members get a photo taken so I assumed that’s what he wanted, wrong. He asked me how old I was and I replied “17”. Apparently they have a rule where you can’t work out if you are under 18 but you can still buy a membership for “maturity and safety reasons”. Here’s my first issue, the tone which the employees spoke to me in, after I had asked them if there was any way around the rule (such an outlandish idea I know).The employees became short with me and seemed mad that I was asking questions. They asked me to leave, and I was respectful and left. I leave, and as I’m in the parking lot, my second issue arises. I find my car being blocked in by the “mature” and “safe” 18 year olds who are doing burnouts and revving their cars. The same gym that won’t let a respectful 17 year old in allows that kind of behavior to happen on their property(insanely hypocritical). These are genuine critiques, I hope someone listens. Aside from that, the 5 minutes I was in the gym were pretty enjoyable. They also have a good selection of machines. This rating is purely based off my experience not the gym. Thanks.

This review is based on principle. I brought my fiancé here SPECIFICALLY to use the sauna and steam room because not many gyms have them, but they were both broken in the women’s locker room. My fiancé goes to a perfectly fine gym but chose to come with me today for the sauna. Crunch charges $20 per guest pass. I think if you can use ALL the amenities it is worth the $20. I didn’t think it was fair that she couldn’t use either so I asked the manager if he could do us a courtesy and waive the $20 guest pass the following visit for the inconvenience. The manager of the place said and I quote, “there is nothing I can do for you, you should call in advance next time.” I’m sorry…. Why is it my job to call in advance to make sure the equipment that I pay for is running smoothly? I left the Crunch speechless. Very disappointed with how this simple situation was handled by management.

Our daughter with special needs absolutely loves the Saturday Cheer session. She gets paired up with a cheer buddy and has an awesome time learning cheer routines. The owner is constantly with the students to help foster respect, learning and fun in a judge-free environment! We are very grateful for Premier All Stars! Keep up the great work!

Owners/some coaches unprofessional unless your in their “favorite” group. When asked how our team fees were being used during Covid shutdown, we were met with defensive, rude answers and we’re not allowed to use that money towards tuition. So, basically it was a “credit” for future comps. Seniors were screwed out of their money. My daughter decided to leave her team after losing her grandmother and her coach/owner sent her a scathing text. Not how a coach should EVER behave! She’s lucky my daughter talked me out of going there to confront her. I honestly don’t know how they’re still in business. Take your money and go to a more professional gym!

Seriously professional and talented, tough-love coaches make up the *awesome* staff at NJ PREMIER ALL STARS. My teen daughter loves it here, 4 years and counting!

Awesome gym. My girls love it there

We are family! Absolutely amazing!

I’ve never been challenged like I am at SPS! The workouts push me beyond what I thought was possible, and the atmosphere is so motivating. No other gym compares to the intensity and support I get here. Highly recommend for anyone looking to take their fitness to the next level!

The facility is top-notch, featuring modern equipment and a clean, well-maintained environment. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to assist. One aspect that sets this gym apart is the variety of classes offered. From high-intensity workouts to relaxing yoga sessions, there's something for everyone. The trainers are motivating and create an encouraging atmosphere that keeps me coming back. Overall, SPS provides a well-rounded fitness experience that caters to various preferences. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a positive and effective gym environment goes to SPS.

I just moved into the area and I am glad I found this facility. I call it a facility because it is much more than just a gym. SPS Fit has so much to offer, whether its Sports Performance (for any age group and any sport), to regular cardio/strength classes, to personalized workouts, there is something for you here. Collis and his coaching staff are friendly, knowledgeable, motivating and their enthusiasm for fitness shows no matter what time of day you go. SPS fit is for everyone, whether you are just getting started, have been training for years, or anyplace in between. I love the Work Capacity and Strength classes because they are always different and fun. They usually have specials where you can try a couple classes for free to see if SPS is the right place for you. If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself. You will not be disappointed. Update: SPS has recently expanded and now has double the space. More class options including Tone w/ Tone and open gym. Tons of classes for kids of all ages, for all sports and general fitness. Always updating their equipment to make things fresh and new

SPS is the best gym for my entire family. SPS is not just a gym, it’s a community and a family. Coach Collis and his team are truly the best. So much knowledge and passion. Classes are different each day so you never get bored and the energy high. I owe so much to each and every person there. My awesome friend kept telling me about it for so long and I kept putting it off due to my fear of stepping out of my comfort zone. Then I finally worked up the courage to do a trial, I was very intimidated to workout among those at a higher fitness level, but I knew deep down that this is what I needed to achieve the goals I have been wanting to achieve for so long and couldn’t because I wasn’t being challenged enough. I was so thrilled to find a loving community. All of the members and coaches are always there to cheer me on and push me hard. The coaches always made me feel at ease and helped me to make sure I have the correct form. I am seeing amazing results. I am at the fittest point and feel amazing. I lost a total of 22 pounds. My kids love their programs too and have been seeing amazing results. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed..

There are countless great things to say about SPS. Collis and his team are always full of energy and are extremely motivating. Whether you’re at the gym at 5:30 am or 6 pm the energy is always there. The classes are unique. They are always pushing you to the best of your abilities. The gym is always clean. SPS does not only focus fitness, they focus and stress the importance of recovery as well. They offer different recovery options to prevent any and all injuries. If you’re looking for a gym, definitely give SPS a chance. You won’t be disappointed.
