Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near Hamilton-township, New-jersey

Can be busy, people sometimes monopolize equipment (usually while on their phones) even when it's packed, in spite of the signs everywhere, but I guess that's any gym, really. Fortunately there are enough of all but a few pieces of equipment that it's not too bad. Definitely don't go after 5pm. Staff is friendly and the place is always clean, including bathrooms and locker rooms. Temperature is usually good, everything is well maintained and repaired quickly. Overall it's fantastic for the price.

Jorge, at planet fitness is amazing! Truly one of the nicest people that I have met at planet fitness. He was awesome at motivating me to get healthier and gave me some ideas on how to eat healthier and get stronger without physically hurting myself. Jorge is the best and Deserves a raise!

I would give it a better rating if it wasn’t so crowded all the time. Management is wonderful for the most part, except for the girl that has the red dreds. She doesnt greet you or make eye contact and if you try to politely say hello she acts all full of herself like she thinks ur hitting on her and gives you a nasty look. Management should talk to her about an attitude adjustment , there’s enough negativity in the world as it is.

Solid gym. The place can get pretty crowded but never to the point that it's a problem. Good pricing for what you're getting compared to other gyms. Wish the lunk alarm would get pulled more often.

So far my experience at this location has been a very good one. They do a pretty good job of keeping the gym clean. Also, the people that attend are pretty friendly about sharing equipment when the club is overcrowded.

Joining the ESCF community is one of the best decisions. Despite of being not so great athlete, I still get something out of the classes every time I go. This place makes me a better person every day, physically & mentally. The coaches are very knowledgeable and try to make every class an effective use of our time. Everyone is very supportive and helping. Try it out and see for yourself 😊

Peter is the best

Outstanding Gym Experience! Performance Strength Academy is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to. The equipment is top-notch, with a wide variety to suit every fitness goal, and the facility is always immaculately clean and well-organized. The atmosphere is incredibly motivating, and the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced athlete, this gym has everything you need to succeed. The sense of community here is unmatched, and it’s clear that PSA truly cares about its members. I can’t recommend it enough—this place is a game-changer for anyone serious about fitness!

Great gym and outstanding equipment. Great environment to push to your goals as you are surrounded by people who are serious about getting in shape and staying there. Any of the members will help out and are very friendly! Want to take your workouts to the next level? Highly recommend PSA

Note: I'm no longer a member at PSA, I moved and cancelled my membership. Going back to March 2023, I reached out to the PSA Instagram account about the powerlifting room's temperature being below average, and was told the heater was broken and couldn't be replaced for 9 months. As of December 23, 2024, it is 23° F. outside and I saw a picture with the inside reading 55° F. Seems there's still a back order for getting a new HVAC unit. Layer up if you want to do any powerlifting-style workouts in the Winter months.

Hands down the best gym in the area. Top tier pieces of equipment and a large variety of equipment. The gym is organized well & clean. Equipment is never broken, always well maintained. Constantly being upgraded and worked on to continue to be better. No big crowds of kids hanging out like in the commercial gyms. Great atmosphere!

I love this gym. Great community. Decent equipment. Only downsides are cleanliness and the fact that if it’s not at least 90 degrees outside, they don’t turn on the air conditioning. It’s pretty crazy since we pay like $65 a month per person with no guests or anything extra. I know a few people in there with medical conditions that get worse when there is no air flow. I almost passed out once and it wasn’t even a tough training day. As far as cleaning, it’s pretty dusty and the men’s bathroom is typically destroyed every day and smells like it’s cleaned maybe once a month. Y’all do a good job but at least turn on the air or a fan in the summer

The culture is phenomenal. If competition is what you want, they can prepare you for that effectively. If staying in shape and fitness is your goal, your expectations will be met exceedingly. The staff is supportive and welcoming. The fighters are awesome. A truly awesome place and environment.

This is an awesome gym that has expert boxers coaching nightly classes (just take a look at Jim's bio to see for yourself!). Boxing is a great cardio workout, and the sequences are a great way to keep me mentally on my toes in a different, new, and FUN way, too!! I love the diversity in this gym. I'm inspired by young teenagers, men and women who have been working out for decades, and newcomers too! Jayson Sia is an awesome addition to this gym. His personal training is amazing. He truly cares, listens to what his clients want, and is a true coach in every sense of the word! Come check it out!!!

I walked in to Primal Gym in September 2018 about a good 30 pounds overweight, someone who was not confident in himself, and someone who so badly wanted to change his life for the better, but couldn't just get out of his own way. As a fan of boxing, I came across Primal Gym through an online search. When I met and toured the facility with Jim, I knew right then and there I had come to the right place! Training at Primal and with Jim has turned out to be ONE of the BEST decisions I have made in my life! Not only have I learned how to box, I have also gained valuable lessons that will stick with me for the rest of my life; including self-discipline, commitment and always embracing the opportunity to learn. About eight months after I first stumbled upon Primal, I am grateful to say I have dropped 40 pounds and feel I am in the best shape of my life! Thank you Jim for taking a chance on me and for always pushing me to strive to be at my best! Your support and guidance are truly appreciated and inspiring! No matter what type of day I may be having outside the gym, I always look forward to training at Primal. If you are in the Mercer/Somerset county area and are ready to take yourself to the next level, I would HIGHLY recommend training at Primal!

This is a great place to train. Jim and the other coaches are all extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and will help you reach your goals.

I had the privilege of training with Jim McCann in JKD. He's a great instructor that teaches in a simplistic manner. Being extremely knowledgeable about martial arts, he doesn't just show you a technique but also explains why it is effective (or ineffective). I did not have the pleasure of training with the other instructors but they were very friendly in passing. I would recommend this gym for martial arts as well as fitness training as they have a lot to offer.
