Best Gyms with Cardio Machines near Paramus, New-jersey

10/10 great staff, very friendly people. The equipment is great and each has very detailed instructions which is perfect for first time gym goers. Don’t forget to stop by their cafe and pick up their drink of week it’s a great way to try new things and see what you like🌟🌟

Equipment is not in good shape. Options are all there though. It would be nice to have hand sanitizer around the floor$$$ classes that take up the entire turf is insane. no room to do situps, or any floor work. that pilates room is a waste UPDATE 2/2024 Broken machines everywhere. I'll just attach pictures! 8/1/24 leg curl broken again 9/5/24 cable cross -cable failing see pic 9/21/24 brackets loose on flat & incline benches 11/24 they are shuffling equipment around. it would be nice to give the clients some expectations on timeline. they send us texts on stupid promotions but nothing about what we are actually paying for. bolts are still loose and lots of unsafe equipment. 1/25 car key carabiner! Every year I have to stand at the desk for 20 min so they can renew my membership. they say the computer doesn't do it. I think they get a commission

After being a member for several years and having the same problems go unaddressed by management for as many years, I figured it was about time to write a review. Note that this review only covers the equipment and areas I use. While there may be problems in other areas as well, I don’t utilize those areas so will not comment on them. Let’s start with the cardio equipment. Most of it does work, although there are several machines, particularly in the second row, that do not, which causes a lot of bouncing from one machine to the next to find one that works. What doesn’t work are a large number of TVs. It is not unusual for almost 40% of them to be non-operational, and the ones that do work are either on home shopping channels or The View. Hey, about a nice mix of CNN, Headline News, Fox News and ESPN? Even worse, 20% of the TVs were on a slideshow of local advertisements. So not only do you pay money to join Crunch, now you are forced to watch commercials when working out. Bush league move. Several of the circuit machines are usually down at the same time. For example, the leg extension machine just doesn’t seem to be ever fixed correctly, the grip on the bicep machine is defective, defective pin on the back extension, etc. There is also a fair amount of ripped or cracked vinyl surfaces which still need to be repaired. Speaking of repairs, many of the lockers in the locker room are broken, and have been for years, especially the ones at eye level as soon as you walk into the room. As for cleaning, I am not sure what the protocol is but in over three years I have only seen staff wipe down the equipment one time. Maybe they do it more often, I have just never witnessed it. Regardless, in this age of covid, this should be a priority. The interior of the gym is generally neat, but certainly not overly clean. It really could use some deep cleaning and attention to detail, especially under the machines, in corners and the bathroom, which has seen better days. The gym touts its new HIIT Zone but I’m not sure what the fuss is about, as now there is very little space to so any kind of individual floor workouts without being in the way of somebody else. And they moved the personal training desk to the middle of the stretch area, instead of at the front desk where it should be. While this isn’t the gym’s fault, you will wait on the circuit machines, primarily because of people staring at their phones which is something tolerated by the staff. What is the gym’s fault is the music blaring over the speakers. It is downright awful. Now, I realize musical taste is subjective, but it should at least be varied. When I go to the gym, almost half the people are older, yet I’ve only heard ‘classic rock’ played one time. Now, I’m sure the management will read this review and reply back with same lame, boilerplate response about emailing management. Just know that all of these concerns have been previously brought to management’s attention, so they are either indifferent to their customers’ concerns or incompetent in resolving them. So does Crunch make working out fun? Maybe, just not at the Paramus location. Update: Despite the canned reply from management, the equipment is still broken or torn, many of the TVs are still not working, the equipment still doesn't seem to be cleaned or sanitized very often and the music is still terrible.

I loved coming to this gym. i’ve been here before and the energy was different but this last time i visited it felt so much better. I definitely give props to the new manager, she makes this place feel safer and brings so much light. Clean environment and comfortable to ask employees anything you might need, recommend to anyone looking for an affordable and welcoming space to workout.

Crunch Paramus has really been stepping up lately! All the cardio equipment is brand new, and you can tell a lot of effort is going into making positive changes. The new manager has been amazing and has brought such a fresh energy to the gym - it’s made a noticeable difference. I was especially impressed today with how clean and well-organised everything was, and it just felt like such a great place to work out. I’m really excited to keep coming back, thank you!

Best gym ever! My kids wanted to test out boxing classes. I stopped into Paramus UFC gym and felt like I was a VIP. Everyone who works there is so nice and knowledgeable. The price was fair for what perks you receive. My kids love taking classes and the trainers treat my boys like family. My kids favorite part is trying the shakes and smoothies they sell. Any issues I had Michael, one of the managers, handled it immediately. It’s one of the few gyms that offers jujitsu classes/wrestling classes for adults and youth. It’s clean/friendly/ and so much fun. I would recommend this to any kid wanting to start going to the gym or adults looking for something great!

I love this gym. I’ve been here consistently for three years now. Great classes and place to train. Sauna and showers are a huge plus, always clean too!

I am currently doing the 3 day free trial. My first impressions are good. Gym looks nice, very clean and organized and was not crowded during the late morning when I went. Personally the only two down sides for me are that there are only two squat racks. I personally prefer free weight lifting over machines and it just seems like those two are always occupied. The second thing is that there is no “powerlifting” type of a wide bench for bench pressing. Both bench presses have the standard narrow benches. Having at least one wider bench as an option would be nice. But other than that, which like I said are just personal preferences, the gym has everything you need and the equipment is great.

There is no ufc gym in new jersey with a higher caliber jiujitsu program. Sean yadimarco and Gabriella Bermudez have the best program in new jersey ufc gym or not. Theres several showers so even when we have 40 people on the mat its a fairly short wait for the showers. Sauna is generously sized, locker room is huge and the punching bag area has about 15 bags. This is the perfect gym for any hobbiest or competitive martial artist.

Love this Gym. I live in town and if you’re looking for a local gym where you see the owner every day and can speak to someone directly then this gym is for you. They have everything you need!

Just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the team that works tirelessly to make things happen. Recently I noticed the lady in charge of housekeeping thoughtfully wiping down the handles on the shower doors. I felt impressed by the attention to detail. On other occasions I was kindly and unexpectedly offered a towel while doing cardio. It’s the little things that matter. It means a lot.

I’ve been at Equinox for over a year. The gym is beautiful and feels like you’re working out at a spa. Equipment is pristine and the people are all cool. But the best part of this gym, the absolute biggest game changer, has been their personal trainer Jesse Agbotse. The easiest way to put it is that this guy is an A-Team player, a true gem. He goes above and beyond to help the gym members and has an incredible program. With Jesse’s guidance and unique approach I was able to shed 20+ lbs.

This gym is honestly amazing. It’s impeccably maintained, clean, spacious, and tranquil. Even the app has a premium, high-quality feel. Almost everyone who goes here is so courteous and respectful, and the staff are beyond friendly and really just awesome people. The Equinox crew make everyone feel welcome and included. Elina, one of the trainers, is the absolute best. She radiates positivity and is so knowledgeable and helpful. The classes and instructors are top-notch, and while I wish the gym had a little bit more equipment and weights, it has everything anyone would ever need to get a good workout. Sure, the monthly membership is steep, and everyone’s mileage may vary, but for me, this gym is an oasis to which I look forward to coming every day.

Just a steam room and no dry sauna. Showers are small in men's locker room. Steam room is cleaned daily but is really the only amenity. Not overly crowded but that is more because of the steep member fee. They do require a 1 year commitment. No month to month and no budging on anything. Corporate dictates policies and Paramus cannot modify them. You can barely even get a response back from corporate. I think you can find something that offers more amenities for cheaper.

One of the managers (I think Michelle, not sure if she’s still there) behaves pompously with her nose held high as if she thinks she is better than you. This is probably the most stuck up gym that I’ve ever visited
