Best Gyms with Free Weights near Barnegat-township, New-jersey

It's great having a gym so close to home, but unfortunately, I'm finding myself less and less enthused about going. The main reason? There's hardly any space to stretch! It's packed with treadmills and ellipticals, but all those people using them have nowhere to properly stretch afterwards. It's a crucial part of any workout, and the stretching area is ridiculously small – it can comfortably fit maybe four people, and even then, you're practically nose-to-armpit with the person next to you. And it's not like they offer anything special to make up for it, like classes or a sauna. It wouldn't be so bad if they at least had more space overall, but it feels like every time they bring in a new machine, they take away even more of the stretching area. I've literally been forced to take my mat to other parts of the gym just to stretch, which cuts into the time I have for my actual workout Another thing that bugs me (and this isn't really the gym's fault) is that people need to learn to wipe down the equipment after they use it. It's gross to have to spend extra time cleaning up someone else's sweat before I can even start my workout, and then have to clean it again afterwards. Maybe the gym could find a way to encourage better etiquette, like putting up more signs or having staff gently remind people. Finally, the music selection could use some work. Sometimes it's just plain bad, and not at all motivating. Some of the songs even have pretty negative messages. Honestly, one time the music cut out for a few minutes, and it was actually an improvement! I hope this feedback is helpful

Tanning booths have multiple lights out 16 out 2 flickering they are still using it. I asked the blonde women who was managing or franchise owner if they knew she brushed it off we've called for maintenance that's a first i ever seen a planet fitness not be able to change bulbs and with 16 out they have known about it for weeks and neglected to offer services properly that are paid for and neglected to be an upstanding franchise. A good management team and owners would have addressed the issue long before this post and shut that booth down vs deceptive business practices by continuing to operate the booth in its current capacity.

Review of Planet Fitness in Barnegat Township, New Jersey: Update: I have to say the manager at this facility named Chris is outstanding, not only does he think about the customer and their specific needs He's an outstanding listener that is very hard, I've been doing this as stated below for very long time I saw the gentleman that we had a misunderstanding with so he went to management and say that he saw me I humbly say that when I see that gentleman next I will apologize for any inconvenience that day that caused him, I cannot believe again how Chris and I'll state this again the manager of the barnegat planet fitness handled this situation. He is an asset as all the employees are planet fitness are throughout the country, I travel a lot. And I train exclusively after being in many health clubs at all the planet fitnesses that I can find so thank you Chris and I look forward to meeting you God bless. This morning, I had a disappointing experience at Planet Fitness in Barnegat Township. Upon arriving, I realized I didn't have my check-in QR code on my new phone, a Fold 5 Samsung. James, the front desk trainer, refused to assist me and wouldn't log me in using my phone number for tanning services. His demeanor was rude and disrespectful, causing unnecessary stress. Despite addressing the issue with the shift manager, who was dismissive and unsupportive, I received threats from other gym-goers for speaking up. As a retired 55-year-old, such treatment is unacceptable. With numerous other Planet Fitness locations nearby, I won't be returning to this one. I encourage others to explore alternative gyms in the area. Regards, Salvatore Barnetti. Update: The acting manager on duty today after the deplorable confrontation approached a 35-year-old friend asked him if I was on drugs I am an ex-fitness expert I ran New York sports club gold's gym and world gym director of operations I cannot believe that this woman approached my friend this is deplorable Update: my 35-year-old friend just advised me that the managing woman with the blonde hair I don't know her name said that I am banned from this location for what I have no idea, again after many many years of customer service this is one of the worst experiences I ever had in my career!

Chris is and was spectacular! I had a few confusions and issues with my account, Chris stepped in, informed me, reassured me and handled all of my worries. He deserves a promotion ! Thank you Chris

NEW EDIT: i stand corrected. i think management or some staff have changed at this location. i never had a problem with the staff, but the management is super nice and always says hello and have a nice workout or day when you’re leaving. it’s also important to note they always make sure to personally scan your membership QR code. this PF has significantly dropped in it’s crowdedness and i think it’s because before too many people were coming in without a membership or maybe people have stopped going but it’s never too busy anymore where you can’t get to your machine at some point. the machines are always working and clean. bathrooms are very clean and you can see staff going in there often to make sure they are clean. it’s nice to have such an attentive staff to the gym! it’s not 24/7 anymore on the weekends so that might affect some people though. otherwise, awesome gym!! OLD REVIEW: it’s a nice gym, clean, and good that it’s open 24/7, the only problem is that it gets so so crowded. people are sitting on equipment or holding weights and just sitting and not actually working out. i had to wait for a machine for almost 25 minutes because someone was sitting on it and using their phone. i’m convinced PF signs way too many people up for membership over the capacity of what the gyms can hold at certain locations because this gym just gets way too busy all the time. the 24/7 is nice like i said but if you want to work out outside of the time you’d be sleeping then it’s not doable unless you want to hit the gym at 1AM-3AM
