Best Gym near West-orange, New-jersey

I recently visited LA Fitness with a guest pass to check out the gym. Unfortunately, the experience started off poorly with the lady at the front desk, who seemed uninterested in her job and didn’t greet me properly. However, Joaquin greeted with such enthusiasm , he was very polite and professional, giving me a thorough tour of the gym. While I was excited about the sauna, the equipment was disappointing. Some machines were rusty, a few were broken, and the rust smell was off-putting. The area outside the gym was also filthy, with garbage scattered everywhere, which raised serious concerns about the overall hygiene of the place, I don’t think I’ll be signing up for this location. It needs serious improvements both inside and out.

The gym is really nice and spacious. Plenty of machines, everything looks clean and well taken care of. The staff is helpful. Zach helped me customize my membership plan and provided plenty of options to choose from so I could get the best deal possible.

This place is great. OK, the equipment is a bit old. But the crowd is fantastic ! And if you have the Premier plan, you can bring a guest every time. If you have kids, they have a kids room where they palay while you work out. Worth the money for sure!

Joaquin who is a staff member here was amazing and so helpful! He made the joining process very welcoming and I was able to officially start my membership today with LA Fitness in West Orange thanks to him! It’s a great gym and very clean as well!

Zach was super awesome with getting my cousin signed up to become a new member! I have been a member over 12 years! I’ll refer all my friends and family to Zach! Thais ZACH!!

We recently celebrated our son’s 2nd birthday at My Gym, and it was an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish! We had over 20 kids present, and despite the chaos, the staff remained engaged and attentive the entire time. The kids had an incredible time, and I’ve never seen my son smile so much. The staff went above and beyond to make the day special, recognizing and engaging with my son multiple times throughout the event. Their attentiveness and genuine care made him feel like the star of the show. The games and activities were perfectly tailored for the age group, keeping all the little ones entertained and happy. It was clear that a lot of thought and effort went into planning the activities, ensuring they were both fun and safe for the kids. The joy and laughter that filled the room were truly heartwarming. The only minor downside was the restriction on the type of pizza we could order, which wasn’t to my personal taste. However, this small issue was far outweighed by the overall amazing experience. The staff’s dedication, the well-organized activities, and the sheer happiness on my son’s face made it a day to remember. I highly recommend My Gym for any child’s birthday celebration. Overall, I was impressed with the staff's engagement, creativity in developing age-appropriate activities, genuine care for the kids, and commitment to ensuring a well-executed event. They truly know how to create magical moments and unforgettable memories. Thank you, My Gym, for making our son’s birthday so special!

Our son loves the Gymsters class- we go several times a week. The instructors are well-trained and very fun! Great strength/skill training activities for our 2-year-old :)

We had our son's 4th birthday party here back in June... my son can't stop talking about it! My older son is 8 and autistic and we had some of his friends there, too! All I can is that the hosts of the party, Denise and Chris, were absolutely AMAZING, FANTASTIC, ENGAGING and above all else, PATIENT with each and every child! If you are on the fence about a great kid centered party... this is definitely the one! Thank you Denise and Chris... you guys were incredible and I hope you both get HUGE RAISES!!

This is our second year doing a birthday at My Gym WO and I can tell you that it is those staffers along with the thoughtful nature of the event that makes this place a hit. From start to end the staff was so intuitive about the needs of the parents and the kids. I also want to mention that one of my nieces (age 8) is very sensitive as she is on the spectrum, which often leaves us concerned about how she will be able to participate in different spaces. It was lovely to see how attentive and caring they were with her. She had so much fun as did all the kids. They are absolute rock stars!!

Celebrated my son's 1st birthday party there and it was amazing! The children and adults had a great time. The Staff (Denise and a guy that I unfortunately can't remember his name) was professional, entertaining and helpful. I would absolutely be celebrating more birthdays there

Coach Asya is awesome! We have seen so much growth in our 6 year old’s comfort and confidence in the pool. Her water awareness sense of safety, back floats for the length of the pool has been awesome to watch. We are so excited to see what she learns next as she would like to swim competitively one day.

DO NOT ENROLL kids for swimming on the Marlins MetroWest swim team. The head coach Cynthia McConnell is extremely rude and yells at kids. If anyone happens to ask any questions she just starts yelling at people. We had a major incident today at a swim meet where we had registered for participation but it did not show up on her records and she was extremely rude to us and my child and asked us to leave. She was yelling at us and humiliated us in the presence of many families. Cynthia was pointing fingers at us and was not at all considerate about looking into why the confirmation was not showing up at their end. Cynthia is a very average coach but considers herself to be an Olympic gold medal winner. She has severe anger management issues and I do not feel my child to be safe in her training. She literally stands outside the pool and let the kids swim barely focusing on the stroke development. She is not just rude and arrogant but also uses foul language to children. Cynthia has absolutely no patience in dealing with children and behaves in a very rough way with kids. None of the kids on my child’s team like her. I will be lodging a formal complaint against Cynthia for her to be dismissed of her duties. JCC metro west has a wonderful facility and the management must take note that they will soon start losing members if coaches like Cynthia are retained. I will recommend all parents to check who they children will be receiving training from before enrolling. This was a very disturbing incident for my family and I hope JCC metrowest management take note of the issue and take strong action against Cynthia to ensure that kids do not have to train in fear and can enjoy their swim lessons.

The people there are racist no one wants to speak out to the white Jewish people there being racist to the black workers. The man downstairs in the cafe is stealing. The administrations have favoritism. So many employees left because of the dysfunctional management and how they treat the teachers upstairs. I suggest no one to attend there establishment.

The complex is very big. The staff was very helpful and courteous. Everything was super clean and tidy. Temp checks and proof of vaccination are required to enter to ensure a healthy environment. Interior signage it right in point. It's impossible to get lost in side! 😁 A great place to visit and as the sign says out front, "Shalom! Everyone is Welcome!"

Teachers and facility are wonderful. Our kids started late in the school season transferring from NYC, but it has turned into easily their favorite school, and we almost feel they’ve always gone here! Administration is top notch- and with the pandemic really ran a well-oiled operation. Looking forward to our kids spending another year!
