Best Gyms with Free Weights near Freehold, New-jersey

OTF freehold has been such a great experience. I joined almost 2 years ago and the staff never cease to amaze me from the front desk with Marquis and the girls knowing my favorite spot and saving it for me each time I prebook to coach Emma who has worked with me pretty much every single class to adjust my workouts to have less impact on my left knee since it’s been bothering me. The gym is always clean and welcoming and the equipment is always working. There is absolutely nothing negative I have to say about them. Thank you for making my workouts easy and fun!!!

Updated Review: I’ve been a member of Freehold OTF for nearly 2 years. I feel compelled to update my review after hearing another coach is leaving. In the past 2 years, at least 8 coaches have quit. Now Freehold OTF is down to one regular part time coach and one fill-in coach from another studio. I learned that Freehold OTF is one of 140+ franchises operated by Empire Portfolio Group and hence the apparent problem. It’s evident the studio is just another line item for Empire. It took them over 6 months to fix the HVAC, meanwhile members had to contend with giant portable ACs while trying not to trip over drainage hoses taped to the floor. The broken lockers have not been fixed, and most disturbingly they can’t seem to keep and hire coaches. Classes have been canceled over the holiday season because no one was available to teach. The front desk staff get an earful from disgruntled members and they are doing their best, but there is only so much that can be done without corporate support. Classes have been cut on the schedule and membership seems to be dwindling. Empire needs to invest in their studios and support their coaches/staff - otherwise more members will take their business elsewhere. Original Review: OTF Freehold is a welcoming and unpretentious studio that is clean and well maintained. The staff is pleasant and welcoming (special shoutout to Alisa and Anjolie), and the coaches are motivating and helpful. The studio is not overly crowded so you can usually get the classes you want without being waitlisted. OTF Freehold also tries to foster a sense of community by organizing events inside and outside of the studio. I highly recommend giving OTF Freehold a try - bonus perk, you can stop by Trader Joe’s after your workout. 😃

I love OTF! The staff have a great way of making you feel comfortable & supported. Marcque always has the warmest smile on his face, super welcoming. The coaches truly care about you reaching your fitness goals. I will forever recommend this place to anybody on their fitness journey.

Orange Theory Freehold is a highly professional and welcoming fitness studio that fosters a positive environment for achieving fitness goals. The coaches are exceptional and Marcque in particular has been extremely helpful and supportive. This studio comes highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance their fitness journey.

I had a fantastic experience at Orange Theory Fitness! I spoke with Marque, and he was absolutely amazing. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to answer all my questions. Marque made me feel completely comfortable and motivated to start my fitness journey. The customer service was top-notch, and the positive energy in the studio was contagious. Highly recommend checking this place out and connecting with Marque—he’s the best!

Nice gym with a lot of, machines, not a ton of people and comfortable atmosphere. Not sure why it's so dark there, perhaps they could do something with lighting, as well as modernize their locker room. It looks old, on the dirty side. The place doesn't light up one's mood, but it gets the job done if you need to get in a workout.

I’ve signed up for many gyms in the past, and this is the first time I’ve consistently gotten myself to go. Planet Fitness in Freehold is exactly what I needed. The staff is incredibly helpful and they keep the gym extremely clean at all times. When it comes to the equipment that I use daily, they have multiples of each, so I rarely ever have to wait to get on one. If I do wait, it’s never more than a couple minutes. I would also like to point out an experience I had with this gym shortly after the country opened back up after Covid. I had a membership before the pandemic and they put a pause on monthly and yearly fees during that time. Once we were allowed back in, they started charging my card again. I hadn’t realized they were for awhile, and I wasn’t attending the gym during that time. Once I noticed the charges, I called the gym and was able to get on the phone with the manager at that time (I wish I could remember her name). She was understanding of the situation and very helpful. She was able to refund my payments for those months and cancel my membership at that time. Her service was the reason I chose to join Planet Fitness again when I wanted to start living a healthier lifestyle recently.

Their trainer here is horrible. She needs to go back to school to learn the job. Because she is not very good at it! And some of these guys that work here early evening have too much time on their hands. They get paid to not do much except chit chat with the girls and their friends. They don't care about when the place is a filthy mess. Sometimes you have to stand there waiting for the coffee clutch to take a break before they help you. Some not all of the workers actually work. The others are a waste of my money. In response to the owner: A few things were mentioned to the gym before. Just to be told yeah, yeah and then you are blown off. Good money is paid for services that you offer but the customer doesn't always get. I get life "nothing's perfect". But 🙄.

Love it! Can't beat the price! All shapes, sizes and ages there. I like that it's the no judgement zone.

Excellent Clean Facility! Well managed! Manager Kate and Staff are outstanding!

Bill and Marta are very welcoming and helpful. As a new member, joining a new gym is always a challenge, but they made the process simple and quick. I appreciate it.

Love the gym. Staff is phenomenal as well the atmosphere. Met so many great people and even signed up for personalized training and classes which have been a huge help. James has so much info to share and I finally have been able to pursue boxing. Only complaint keeping this from being 5 stars is they have to little days for boxing classes I really would appreciate more availability for boxing classes throughout the week.

This gym is horrible. The manager Angel is sketchy and the girl that works front desk MARTA was beyond incompetent and couldn’t answer ANY basic questions about the gyms policies. I was promised by the MANAGER himself allowance of any guest and when I decided to bring my sister in one day, Marta was incredibly rude and enforced policies that were never mentioned by the manager himself. When I asked to speak to Angel, when I literally SAW him in the building, Marta laughed at my face and shut down my request saying “he doesn’t want to speak to anyone right now”. WHAT SENSE DOES THAT MAKE? Marta was extremely ignorant, LACKED BASIC TRAINING and enforced regulations that were NOT within her position to make. Best believe I’ll be escalating this to higher management. 1 star is being generous, I would rate in the negatives if I could. I have never experienced such an UNPROFESSIONAL STAFF with a gym until I signed up for this particular location.

If you join you’ve gotta take a class with Donna V. One of Jersey Strongs biggest assets. Donna makes her classes about fitness and fun. You’ll get fit and have fun doing it. Great atmosphere, creative teaching , becomes a can’t miss weekly event. Highly recommended!

I recently worked out at Jersey Stong in Freehold and I found the gym to be great for my fitness needs. Marta helped me with all my questions and was delightful to deal with. She is a great staff member
