Best Gyms with Specialized Strength Equipment near Hanover, New-jersey

We highly recommend Rettig's, my daughter has had an extremely positive experience here; first as mom and tot and now preschool. She loves her teacher and always looks forward to class each week.

Great place to get gymnastic lessons

Excellent instructors, fun

My daughter takes classes there, and her teachers are excellent, very kind. She enjoys it too much.

Just had my daughter's 5th birthday party there. Julian was great with the kids and a big help cleaning up. All the kids had so much fun! Thanks again!

My daughter did a 'trial class' a week ago. I will start off by mentioning the trials are not free and each trial class is $30. When I called to register her, I was told she would be evaluated to see if the class we chose was the proper fit for her skillset and level. When we arrived, no one welcomed us or said hello. I could see people in the main office. When they gathered the students to enter the gym and start the class, I brought my daughter in and the teacher simply introduced herself and that was it. When the class was done, the teacher said nothing to me...not a word, and then brought in the next group of kids. No one has contacted me or followed up via phone or email. To top it off, the facility smelled awful and was not clean at all. My daughter even said her hands smelled terrible on the way home. Why on earth would I join this facility and have my daughter become a member? No thanks!

I have a boy and a girl at Go For The Gold, both on competitive teams. They both love it! We love it so much that we have been traveling to Go For The Gold from Bergen County for the past three years (6 days a week). My kids wouldn't dream of going anyplace else. The coaches are fantastic. Very tuned in to the needs of the kids. The owners and office staff are also fantastic. They are very accommodating and are always there for you to address any questions or concerns.

Excellent place to send your child to learn gymnastics the way it is meant to be taught. Supportive coaches, attentive and flexible owners who care about the gymnasts' well-being. A happy place that produces champions who feel good about who they are! Great front office staff. All around, I give this gym 5 stars. It stands alone in a sea of gyms that care only about medals, skills, and scores rather than your child's well-being. Bravo.

My 7 year old and 4 year old have taken classes at this amazing gym. The coaches are attentive, disciplined and talented. In short, they are fantastic! My kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The office staff is helpful, polite and responsive. They feel like family!

I’ve been a member of the War Room since it had first opened back in 2021. Not only is the gym clean, and outfitted with the best state of the art equipment, Ray has created a truly amazing training environment. From the people, to the culture, the atmosphere in this is the absolute best. To put this into perspective, I moved an hour away, and still maintain an active membership for whenever I am in the area. I highly recommend the War Room, and I cannot say enough good things about this gym. Experience it yourself!

Owned by a Powerlifter with over a decade of competition experience, "The War Room" is equipped to meet the needs of both competitive Powerlifters and those who simply know the importance of the barbell lifts. With a modern aesthetic, providing the best equipment the market has to offer, this facility is an asset in the strength training community.

While visiting family in town, I stopped by this gym, and it was an incredible experience! Ray was super responsive and helpful when I inquired about a day pass, making the whole process seamless. The gym itself is spacious, well-equipped, and perfect for powerlifters, with plenty of combo racks and kilo plates to go around. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend checking out the War Room.

Great gym and open 24/7 for members. The owner (Ray) is fantastic and always has the facility well maintained. Best part is community of people who are all supportive of one another!

The War Room is a fantastic facility and I am happy to have been a member since 2022. Whether you are a powerlifter or into general fitness, this gym has a vast selection of equipment available for your needs. For the powerlifter, the gym has 8 combo racks, 4 deadlift platforms, 2 monster racks with spots to squat or bench, plenty of power bars, squat bars, deadlift bars, and other speciality bars, and both calibrated kilo and pound plates. General fitness enthusiasts will find a great selection of plate loaded machines, as well as some pin loaded, with lots of attachments available to use, and a great free weight section with plenty of dumbbells. It also features a large turf area and a few pieces of cardio equipment. The facility also has restrooms, a shower, and a sauna which is available for use during staffed hours. Another benefit is that the gym is open 24/7 for members, and is extremely welcoming of guests when they make an appointment. If you are looking for a clean gym with equipment that is maintained well & updated regularly, and a community that is welcoming & supportive, this is your place.
