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

Ive been going to this gym for about 16 months. My main reason for going is convenience. I feel it’s too expensive for the hours it’s open, the size, and what it has to offer. Some little things they could do is enforce the gym etiquette, get more little accessories like dip belts, and more pulley attachments, things in that category. Overall though I usually have a decent workout, I do try to go at early non-busy hours.

Went in on Thursday evening to try out the gym and to my surprise it is such a clean gym and a very nice staff too, the young guy at the front desk was super helpful and explained everything nicely, not too crowded and overall pleasant experience. I noticed a lady was constantly walking around cleaning which was nice to see since most gyms just clean once at the end of the night if that. I recommend

Gym is cool cause it doesn't get backed HOWEVER right now it's 21:39. 9/10/24. The guy at the front said the smoothie bar is closed pretty much cause he's watching the debaTE. this is UNACCEPTABLE.

This gym facility has a great ambience, with all good equipments, trainers, staff. Feel good and focused when working out here.

So glad I joined this gym. The staff is so friendly, the gym is always clean, and equipment is great too.

The gym is in a great location, and overall, my rating would be 3.5 stars. Since that’s not an option, I’ll round up to 4. While the gym could be cleaner, I’ve seen worse. Cleanliness is an area where improvements would definitely be appreciated. For example, the availability of spray bottles and paper towels can vary depending on the staff working. These should be checked regularly and replenished as needed, especially when the gym opens and periodically throughout the day. Some staff are great, you get a pleasant hi from them every time. Others hide in the office on their cell phone. This really does make a difference. I also wish the gym had a sauna or steam room. The vacant store next door could be a great opportunity for expansion (hint, hint!). Additionally, the locker room could use an update. I’ve visited the Green Brook Crunch, and they excel in this area. That said, I prefer Somerset over Green Brook because the layout is much more user-friendly—Green Brook feels like a maze. If Somerset could match Green Brook’s amenities, such as cleanliness, updated locker rooms, and a sauna or steam room, I’d be happy to pay a bit more for the enhanced experience.

I was told I could sign up with no annual fee, no contract, no enrollment fee. MONTH TO MONTH. So I signed up in person at the Somerset New Jersey location being told that there was no annual membership fee. I needed to pause my membership. I was told I can't do that but if I cancel temporarily, I can come back without the fees. When I requested to cancel I was told that I would be charged another month because of the 30-day grace period required fine. I canceled and what happened. I was charged an annual fee. I was lied to and scammed. This is not going to encourage me to sign up with Crunch again. I call the main number, no answer no return call . And I will be updating this review. They will tell you anything to get you to join, get your credit card and charge you everything that they can.

I’m very happy with coming into this crunch location it’s great. Whenever I come in, consistently I am greeted by friendly staff like Kyle and Matt. I have been going to this gym for a while and it’s great. The equipment is solid and if there are issues, maintenance usually fixes the unavailable equipment by the end of the week at most. I recently did a kickoff and it went great! It was a free 60 minute personal training session and it went super smooth. I was able to talk about my goals, diet, and even new training regimes. Kosma was my trainer and knows his stuff, he has a degree in exercise science too. He really pushed me during the session and was passionate about training which made the experience great. One thing my friends complained about is the cancellation policy as it used to be hard to cancel. I just talked with the manager the other day and he said that now they have an easy form to do at the computer so the process is a lot easier now.

One of the best gyms I've been to! I signed up with Kyle and he made the process of signing up smooth. Also I have to say the workers here are probably the most respectful gym workers I've ever interacted with.

Great overall gym for any type of person who is looking to reach their fitness goals. Managers Kyle and Matt were extremely helpful and made sure I was aware of all charges and cancellation procedure before signing up. Gym is well kept, well-staffed, and inviting.

One of the cleaner locations in the Somerset county area. They have dumbbells up to 45 lbs, the showers actually get hot water, and I see staff cleaning. Smells and looks clean for the most part except male locker rooms could use some attention; not sure about female’s. Parking situation is decent.

It has a certain price point understandably. With that being mentioned because the price being so low they have not cleaned this placed in a long time. There are little piles of rubber in the free weight cradles, totally ignored. It would take minimal time to correct these issues........ vacuum, wipe, repeat

Disappointed with the Service and Lack of Transparency I am extremely disappointed with my experience at the branch. I explicitly asked the staff about canceling my membership before the annual renewal, and they assured me that I could cancel without being charged the annual fees. Later, I was surprised to see the amount deducted from my account. When I returned to the branch to inquire, another staff member claimed that “no amount should be deducted.” I then opened my bank app to show the pending charge, only for them to tell me that I was supposed to cancel before the 25th, as per the terms I had apparently signed. This was an unprofessional and unclear response. The issue could have been avoided if accurate information had been provided from the start. Now, I am forced to pay the annual fees and continue with the membership even though I wanted to cancel before the renewal. I strongly urge the management to improve customer service and clearly communicate policies to prevent such issues in the future.

Always a 5 star experience… Coming to a gym near you!

This is my most favorite of the 4/5 locations I usually go to. Easily the cleanest one of the bunch and it's never too crowded. Sioer nice staff too, and clean machines!! They even have a weekly riddle lol. Jts a fun personal touch! Would totally recommend.

Absolutely love this Fitness Factory ! The cleanliness here is top-notch — everything is always spotless, from the equipment to the locker rooms. It’s clear that the staff takes pride in maintaining a clean and inviting environment. Speaking of the staff, they are exceptional! Always friendly, approachable, and eager to help with any questions or guidance. The positive atmosphere makes every workout a great experience. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a clean, well-maintained, and supportive fitness space!

By far the best gym I have gone too! Much cleaner than retro and crunch. The staff is very professional and is led by a great manager. Cannot wait until the expansion is done! But overall cleanliness is great. Best gym around!

Everyone should be very careful with the tricks of this gym. I signed up for a two-month personal training course, and no staff told me that it would automatically charge me when it was about to expire. When I discovered the automatic charge, I immediately called them and told them that I didn’t want to renew because I was moving. They promised to refund the money within half a month, but after waiting for half a month, they didn’t refund me. When I called them again, they told me they couldn’t refund the money! I think this is extremely unreasonable, and I can’t believe such things are still happening in 2025. This is a gym without morals! Please be very careful, everyone!

Such a wonderful place to workout! The gym culture and atmosphere is amazing. Cleanest gym around the area no doubt about it! Staff is always helpful! Customer service is great here!

Clean, Friendly, BIG, lots of equipment: Cardio, Machines, Free Weights. Bathrooms spotless. Price for day pass $10. Would 100% go back (was on business trip)
