One of the best gyms out there. Sauna, boxing and callisthenics is all I went for but they got it all, they got free weights too if your into that. Clean place. Never seen anything dirty. Unfortunately today is my last day there since I'm no longer in North Jersey. I see a lot of people complain about this place robs you or w/e but i never had that problem on top of that, cancelling was the easiest it's ever been in any gym. Thank you empire 🙏 when I'm back in North Jersey this gonna be my gym.

Not a good gym. The facility, members, and equipment, are low priorities. Parceling out the gym to commercial tenants, and increasing volume seems to be the main goal. In the weight room, disrespectful members rule the weight room. Weights are rarely racked, and general gym decorum is non-existent. Because classes are offered for younger children, parents often bring toddlers. However, these children are generally unsupervised and allowed to roam free through the gym. I have personally been sprinting on a treadmill while a small child (no more than 6) was playing with a basketball behind me. I have even had words with disrespectful adults dribbling basketballs inside of the treadmill area. Rules go unenforced by gym staff, principally because there is no staff. Generally one person sits at the front desk. There is absolutely zero observation in other parts of the gym. I am truly surprised nobody has been severely injured yet.

Amazing place to rent and play basketball indoor, the reason why it doesn’t get all the 5 stars is because the court is very dusty and slippery, they should look into cleaning the courts more so it won’t be slippery, people can get seriously hurt like that

Very bad gym. The gym gloats their many amenities but they are rarely available and up to date. The locker room is always dirty and has a foul smell. The sauna annd steam room are rarely cleaned since it was built. The swimming pools and jacuzzi are always dirty. The basketball courts are always rented and never available for members. Overall The gym experience was a disaster from start to finish. The equipment was outdated, the staff seemed disinterested, and the cleanliness was questionable at best. It felt more like a chore than a workout, and I left feeling more frustrated than energized. Save your money and find a gym that values its members.

DO NOT JOIN!!! This place false advertises their amenities. You are paying $55/Month for nothing. They do not accommodate for members at all. If you are a non member you are much better off since the employee can kick out the members out of the basketball courts anytime. I have only been able to use the basketball courts twice in the last 5 months after 5PM. After complaining they mentioned that they accommodate for members from 3-5PM. DOES THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE!!! Since most people with a job are usually working from 9-5PM! They do not ID the non members either. My friends have gotten their slippers, basketball and shoes stolen. There are multiple instances of items being stolen from locker rooms as well for other members. The place strictly operates on profit and does not care for members. There are much better facilities within the neighborhood where you should invest your hard earned money. I have been a member for 4 years and soon as Empire Sports took ownership, the place has been very bad/unsafe. I would not recommend this place to anyone anymore.
