It is so sad to see what has happened to this gym. I have been coming to this gym since I was 18 (almost 11 years) This was my home away from home. I hate to write this review, but this is purely from a business standpoint. And since they do not respond to emails, this is the best platform to express my frustrations.
The pandemic must have hit them hard because the gym is barely a shell of what it used to be. The gym is completely falling apart. Broken machines. Old equipment. As of 8/30/21, even the key tag access reader is broken. Anybody can walk right in.
They charged members through the pandemic when they were closed and then they RAISED prices for all remaining members when they reopened with no notice. Almost $10 more for me. And to be honest, I was fine with it all because I wanted to support them! I had been going there for so many years. I wanted them to succeed. But they have done nothing to maintain the gym. Nothing to improve their product.
Communication is non-existent. They tell everyone to email them to save face. "All you have to do is email ____" they say. As if they actually respond. They don't. Look no further than the latest reviews. I have been waiting for a response for 2 weeks. Nothing. There hasn't been a front desk associate for months.
They need to sell the gym. I'm sure they are aware of that. It's empty most of the time anyway. It was a great place to be a few years ago but not anymore. The least these guys can do is honestly respond to the emails of the many people who are trying to get in touch with them.

This gym has gone downhill drastically. Been going there for a while. Then when Covid hit there was virtually not contact. Tried calling about suspending my payments but no answer. They continued to charge my account. Not $20 but $30 now. There was no answers still. Then I see on their Instagram that they did renovations. I’m thinking renovations. I’m thinking renovations with my money they are taking. So I’m the midst of a pandemic they are doing renovations and stealing peoples money. Come to this year and no one is even at the gym anymore. They have pieces of paper on the door saying, “if you want to sign up go to our website”. Sent them an email a few times never got an answer. Not sure if it is closed down or what, since the hackettstown gym is closed. Talking complete radio silence.

Impossible to cancel my membership at this gym! Wish I would have listened to the reviews prior to signing up. They say they have an easy 30 day cancellation policy but they refuse to answer any emails I send. I also called and spoke with a man who told me "I just answer the phones here I don't handle any of that". Extremely unprofessional and are out to steal your money!

Ever since the pandemic started II have been receiving threatening phone calls for one of my nephews who is a child who has been in college for last 2 years And has been going there since he was 16 years old. I have left numerous letters but there's never anyone there. I called 100 times no answers Now I'm getting threatening emails and collection calls when I have an email receipt of the cancellation from employee that no longer works there There try to charge me over $500 for kid that's in the navy.
I am still being billed even after being cancelled and joining another gym.

This place was fine while i was going to it. Trying to leave them is a nightmare. I have called and sent them numerous emails in order to cancel my membership because of the pandemic. This was way back in January. I've been in contact with Hollye Richardson in order to get this done. At first they were giving me some nonsense about needing to send them PHYSICAL mail to cancel my membership, then they gave in and said ok it's been cancelled. Only after they charged me an extra two months of membership. Now they're sending me emails threatening to send me to collection even after everything was sorted out already. You would have an easier time going through divorce than leaving these people. My advice is to avoid them. Awful experience.

Thus Gym is amazing! I started out with 185 lb with 18.5% body fat! and within 4 weeks I was down 20 lb and 6.5% body fat. Feels great and the workouts are amazing! Amazing trainers and only good vibes! If you are trying to lose weight and tried everything and it didn’t work this is the place to be! You’d love everything about it and feel like you never did before

I love this place! From the minute I walk in and meet coach Ivan I felt great. The front desk staff always greets me with a big smile! Classes are awesome! Coach Dustin is the greatest trainer that I ever had! He sets the tone for the overall atmosphere at the gym. I am amazed that he knows most, if not all members name. IT IS CLEAR THAT HE IS DEDICATED TO MAKING EVERY MEMBER'S EXPERIENCE A GREAT ONE.
Great people, great place!

They will steal your money. Apparently this is the only way for them to keep their business open. I signed up for their 6 week challenge, which is $359 and they’ve been taking money out of my account months later. $1200 later and no one will get back to me.

Scammers! When I decided to leave they told me they canceled my membership but they lied. I left 3 months ago and even now I still get charged. I ended up blocking my card because I was being ripped off every month. And to forget about getting a Refund. They don’t even deserve 1 star.

I began training at Achieve 24 Fitness 3 weeks ago. At first I was sure, being as though I've tried what I believed to be everything possible to lose the weight, that this wasn't going to work. Once meeting with Coach Ivan I sat down and listened to everything that the facility had to offer. After convincing me to try it out for 12 weeks I thought to myself please don't be a waist of time. After losing 8 pounds in the first week I was sold. Coach Ben and Coach Steve pushed me with workouts that although were tough had me wanting more. The meal plan that was provided to me was simple and easy. The weight began to come off so fast. Not only did I notice my clothes fitting differently within 3 weeks, people around me started to notice too. This is definitely the place to be. If you're looking for training coaches who care and a simple meal plan that works. Please do yourself a favor and call or go to Achieve 24 Fitness. Trust me it's worth it.

I've never been a member of the gym, but I did sign up for the 6 week challenge. From my experience, it seems like a scam. They ask you for $500 upfront, saying it's to make sure people don't just show up for the meal plan and then never go to a class; understandable. Supposedly you get the money back after finishing the challenge and completing all of the requirements. I completed the whole challenge, without ever missing a day and fulfilling the other requirements, and I never got my money back. I finished the challenge a year ago and have still not been able to get my money back, after ignored calls, texts, emails, and even direct messages to the owner. Even when I did get an answer, it was either someone saying I'll check and get back to you, which they never did, or they would throw me back and forth, saying I need to message another person. They say all they can do is offer me credit at the gym for classes, but I just want the money back. I don't understand why they can offer credit but not give me my money back. In conclusion, the customer service is the worst and the challenge is a scam. I don't recommend signing up for the challenge unless you plan on using those $500 for credit at the gym afterwards.

This gym is really only good because it's convenient to where I live and it's 24/7. Other than that this gym is pretty disgusting. It doesn't look like anyone cleans the place. Every single machine has a tear in the padding and they only have one of each machine, so if someone is using it, you have to wait or change up your work out routine. I wish they would sell it to a Planet Fitness and have them redo the whole thing. They offer classes that they do ok the middle of the gym, so they are always in your way if you're trying to walk from the equipment to the treadmills.

This is an honest review of the 6 week challenge only. I found it via an ad on social media advertising free 6 week challenge. Be aware it CAN be free but only of you successfully complete it with the terms of your contract. You must pay a deposit to begin and not everyone will successfully reach their goal. In not reaching your goal, you do not get your money back (during June 2018, the deposit was $500 & out of around 25 people the week of my weigh in, I believe only 2 of us reached our goal). So I started the challenge on June 11 and ended on July 23rd. My starting stats were 173.9 lbs and 32.6% body fat, I followed their diet given, took three classes a week with them, posted my weekly grocery shopping and meals on their Facebook group as required contractually. I successfully reached my goal of losing at least 6% body fat. My end stats are 158.7 lbs and 25.2% body fat , losing 7.4% bodyfat and 15.2 lbs. I really enjoyed the trainers I took classes with, Steve and Danny, they made the classes fun and pushed everyone to challenge themselves. I didn't however enjoy how large the class sizes were getting. When I first started, classes were 45 minutes, with an average of 12 people in my classes, halfway through my challenge classes at least doubled in size and they decided to add time to the workouts to make them 1 hour long, but the workout was not as effective. The space was getting cramped and when we were doing circuit training workouts items were being used that I needed (like the sled for example) and I had to frequently skip over activities and adjust my workout. Classes got so large here that there weren't even enough mats to cover the amount of students in class, and I ended up never having a mat for the ab activities and stretching in the end of class. The challenge was advertised as selective and limited space, and that definately didn't seem the case with my experience there. Ultimately I am happy with the trainers and my progress, but will not continue training there. I will update this review after I submit my form to collect my deposit, I am expecting it as I have successfully completed challenge, followed all rules, wrote honest reviews and reached my goal.

I ran into an ad on Instagram for a 6week challenge and 1 yr after having my daughter the postpartum weight kept packing on and so did my self esteem issues. So I decided to challenge my self and put my abilities to the test. Now I have to say thank you to Ivan, Dani and the whole team for making my weight loss dreams come true. I have lost 20lbs and 6%body fat so far and although, I am aware that my jourmey here is not done. I really would love to express my gratitude to the whole team. My husband and I will continue coming here even if we have reached our weight goals this is how satisfied and happy we are with this place. I never thought I would ever see myself healthy and fit again!! THANKS GUYS! :)

I would like to have my review divided into 2 parts, Part 1 is about the 6 week challenge, the classes, and the training. Part 2 is about the Management, Contract, and Administration.
Part 1- The 6 week challenge is great, the nutrition plan plus the group style training really helps you focus on your workout and achieve your goals. I mostly attended the morning classes with a trainer who is no longer there, but when he was there it was a very intense productive workout session. I would say it was the most committed and successful gym experience I had. Ivan is great. 5 Stars
Part 2- Management/Contract/Admin- This was an overall very poor experience. I recommend that you ask about the contract, cancellation policy, and ALL details before joining in any way. I was charged for 13 weeks after I cancelled and getting a partial refund was difficult to say the least. It is because of this experience that I will not be returning.
Overall the classes and workouts are great, management is poor leads to a 2 star review. Hope the management can get turned around- lots of potential to be a great gym

DO NOT ATTEMPT THEIR CHALLENGE. ITS A FRAUD YOU WILL NEVER GET YOUR MONEY BACK. These people are con artists. I tried the challenge lost some lbs and they pushed me to get a gym membership in order to get my money back. I am still waiting for my refund. FRAUD!!! AVOID!!!! All the fb posts are fake. They force you to write those comments. I just wanted to try their challenge and I dont need a gym membership. You end up paying $100s for their membership.

The atmosphere is friendly. I had an issue with my contract and Ronnie was able to help me with that. Very friendly. I suggest asking about monthly fees after signing up for the 6 week challenge so your well aware of what your going to be paying. That is where I had an issue. Besides that, the classes are great. Nice bathroom, showers and changing room. Also love that this gym is 24 hrs which is a real plus.

Updating my previous review on the 6-week challenge. I write this as someone who beat their goal, btw. This is a scam, whether you complete the challenge or not. It's been 7 months with NO REFUND. The gym responded below about how this review can hurt their small business. REALLY?! I was a customer of your business and you stole my money. I should feel bad about giving an honest review of my experience because it makes you look bad?? You SHOULD look bad - you're lying to people.
So you go to the free consultation, which is a sales pitch. They explain that in order to be eligible for the 'free' challenge, (or; eligible to get your money back) you have to hit your weight loss goal, follow their food plan, attend a minimum of 3 group classes a week, post a photo of your meals, (or your weekly groceries proving you're following the plan) AND you have to provide multiple 5-star reviews at the end of the challenge. If you decide to sign up, they charge you $500 then & there. You sign a contract promising that you'll meet the requirements, and that your 'deposit' will be refunded at the end of the challenge if you choose not to roll it back into a membership. (Btw, if you get hurt halfway through the challenge and are unable to continue because of it, you'll lose your money.) They claim that the reason they collect a deposit, rather than letting you attend for "free" as advertised, is because it's a lot of work for the trainers to "customize" your meal and exercise plans. This would sound plausible except that they don't do that. They give the same meal plan to everyone. I'm not saying the employees of the gym don't work hard - they do. But thats the case regardless of the challenge. Anyway, you show up to your first class, and you basically just jump in line. There is no physical assessment or customization of any kind, and the classes are brutal. This is NOT a beginner's course. You are in the class with people who have already completed the challenge, or are generally active. There were only about three classes over the course of those 6 weeks that included other beginners. I expected the course would follow a structure, like the first week and a half would ease you in, and then they would get progressively more challenging as your body adjusted to the physical demand, etc. Not so. But I survived and I succeeded and I made it through anyway. HERE'S WHY I REVISED my REVIEW. This entire system is designed for you to fail. And even if it wasn't, you're still being scammed. This is why: The gym costs $99/month, and that membership includes all of those classes - those same classes that the challengers take. The only thing the challenge provides you is accountability. Which is great - except that you won't hit your goal with their food plan, (I cut carbs & sugar completely to hit mine, for example) and even once you win, you're advertising their business for free with your multiple 5-star reviews on multiple platforms. (That are probably written in a slightly dishonest, overly encouraging way, like mine were, because I wanted my money back.) I also had to complete a survey, fill out some paperwork, and email screenshots of all of my reviews, the trainer's written confirmation that I'd beat my goal, and my before and after pictures WITH a breakdown and explanation of WHY I wanted MY money back - to some guy named Ben, (who I'd never seen but who has some sort of affiliation with the gym or the challenge somehow) AND I CC'd his assistant and was told by the trainer to check back in with her if I didn't receive a response from him. Which I didn't, ever. I completed my challenge in July. I emailed them every week for 2 months, to no avail. I got one email from his assistant confirming that they received my info. I was NEVER REFUNDED. I could've just joined a gym with a reasonable monthly fee and free classes, and saved myself a WHOLE lot.
TL;DR - Would not recommend.

I can't believe 6-Weeks have past by already and I was able to achieve my goal... If it wasn't for all the support and encouragement from the Achieve 24 Team I wouldn't have reached these results. I lost 28+ lbs in my 6-Weeks Challenge. Moving on to my next one...
I really appreciate all the dedication and direction from the coaches as well as the big support from my fellow members.

I saw an advertisement for a 6 week challenge on Facebook. I made an appointment and met with IVAN, he went over the terms of the contract and outlined the program. I was required to attend a minimum of 3 classes per week which I had to book online. I was to check in on FB when I attended the gym for my classes. I was given a food plan to follow (which wasn't too difficult) and I had to post my meals daily on the Achieve 24 Transformation page. I also needed to weigh in once a week. There was a cost involved, which I had anticipated, as really NOTHING is FREE. I was told if I met my goal I would get my money back or I could put it towards my membership IF I decided to join after the challenge ended.
I think it is important for me to mention that I had NEVER exercised in a gym EVER so I really had no experience to compare this to. I remember at my meeting with IVAN I specifically told him that I hated exercise!! I don't like jumping around or doing anything strenuous. I was on a weight loss journey at the time and had done a good job of losing about 18 lbs on my own but I still had a ways to go and was by no means toned or physically fit.
I attended my first class at 6am on a Monday morning. The doors were open, the lights were on, gym was clean and Steve was there and welcomed me along with some of the other "6am-ers" as we refer to ourselves. I had no idea what to expect and was scared to death. But Steve was great. He explained the warm up to the class and we went to it... honestly I thought.... This is the warm up??? God Help me...what the hell did I get myself into??? He then went over the actual work out, demonstrated some of the exercises we were going to be doing, answered any questions, recommended modifications and made sure everyone had the appropriate weights and proper form. Even though it was nerve wracking and difficult, I was able to get through the work out which surprised me. It helped that another member encouraged me and told me that it was OK to take my time and do things at my pace until I got stronger.
I got through my first week, and weighed in and was very happy!!! I had lost a few pounds. That was enough to keep me motivated. I completed the challenge and met my goals. I have to say that the accountability was something that really kept me on track with regards to food. One week I was away during the challenge and I actually lost weight, and I attribute it the program. I did join the gym after the challenge and was able to use my deposit towards my membership.
The gym itself since I have been going has been slowly undergoing its own transformation. They have moved some things around and recently got some new equipment to keep up with class sizes. Steve does a good job of cleaning up equipment that is left scattered about, which really should be the members who used it responsibility. There are always wipes available for cleaning the exercise matts before putting them away and wiping down equipment before and after use. The facility is always in good order and tidy. I have had to shower there occasionally and the bathroom is always immaculate considering that several people use it in the am.
I love that they contribute to the community by participating in a food drive as well as toys for tots! It gets members involved and encourages a spirit of comrade and ultimately helps those less fortunate.
Overall, I have had an amazing experience here. I have fallen in love with exercise which I never EVER expected and look forward to continuing on this journey!

I found out about Achieve24 Transformation Challenge via a Facebook Ad and decided to give it a try.
I came in not knowing what to expect since I had been doing CrossFit for the past 5 years. During my first consultation, Ivan listened to my concerns and the goals I was trying to achieve. Ivan was knowledgeable, courteous and assured me that with the combined meal plans and workouts I would meet my goals.
In August 2017, I had a roller skating “mishap” which left me recovering from a serious compound fracture on my wrist and all hopes of ever doing CrossFit again completely gone. That all changed the day I had my first class with Danny Zimmerman on Monday, September 10, 2018. He was encouraging and motivating throughout the entire workout while making sure my wrist injury was not causing me much discomfort. He is great at pushing you to your limits without making you feel uncomfortable or intimidated. Danny also makes the workouts fun and challenging by providing you the correct guidance in scaling up the workout to be more challenging if needed. He is not there just for you to get a workout. His constant goal is to also show you that you can do better; to challenge yourself to the max and as such make you feel better not just physically but also mentally. A little progress everyday adds up to big results. On October 20, 2018 I had my last weigh-in as I had completed my first round of the Achieve24 Transformation Challenge. I lost a total of 17 lbs and 5% body fat. While improvements to my physical appearance are great, I cannot put into words the amazing feeling of being able to work out and do so many things I was not able to do after my injury, like push-ups, kettle bell swings, pull-ups or toes- to- bar. For all that, I thank you, Danny.
During the course of the challenge I was able to take a few classes with Steve and he was also great, knowledgeable and just simply awesome to workout with.
If you are ready to make a change for the better in your life not just physically but also mentally I would recommend that you stop by Achieve24 and speak with Ivan and Danny.

Update: 17 weeks and no refund.
I just finished the 6 week challenge! I’m down 6.7% body fat and 14.8 lbs. I’m so incredibly grateful for this experience. Eric and Steve have been absolutely amazing when it came to keeping me on track. They went above and beyond the full six weeks. Danny really helped me in the final two weeks to make some small adjustments to guarantee my goal would be met. Thanks to Ivan for explaining the program to me and making me take the leap of faith. You guys are awesome! Thank you!

Hi all! I'm sorry for the delay, I haven't had a working computer in weeks, but I'm finally able to share my success story! I started the summer at 185 pounds. It was hard not to fight the heat by indulging in some ice cream, and even harder to keep up with the workouts but it was so worth it! By sticking to the diet and exercise plan, I lost nearly 30 pounds! I weighed out at 156 pounds at the end of August. And, I'm happy to say, that I've been continuing to use the discipline I learned in the program to eat better and maintain an exercise regimen, and consequently I'm still losing weight a month later.

If you are looking for a gym to work out on your own, look elsewhere. Was there recently and several cardio machines do not work. To get to treadmills, you have to wade through folk taking classes. Place is completely oriented towards group classes, not individual workout. Really disappointed because my wife and I loved this place when we joined 2 years ago. Looking for another gym.

Icompleted my 6 week challenge on 8/20. Life was really hectic during and after the challenge between moving into my new home and traveling for work.
My starting weight was 200lbs 41% BF. After about two weeks of the nutrition plan and working out 4 times a week in I lost an average of 3lbs a week. Ivan and Danny worked with me to modify my meal plan and I increased my work out to 5/6 times a week. by the end of week 6 I lost a total of 22 lbs and 4% BF.
I'm not going to say it was easy and not a little disappointing missing my mark by 3lbs. But it was definitely worth it for me! Having a healthy lifestyle and physical fitness is a vital step in self love and care.
Special thanks to all the trainers! You all helped motivate me in more ways than one! I'm very grateful for this experience.

If I'm going to talk about achieve 24 fitness of Elmwood Park, I want to say that after the six weeks challenge I feel pleased to have known the facilities and have known such beautiful people. The coaches are always pending and available for any questions or concerns about the diet or type of exercise. I did not meet the challenge I only lost 10 pounds and 3% fat. But I feel happy and with energy something that six weeks before did not exist in my body because I am or was a very sedentary person. That's why I feel happy because although I do not like exercise very much, I lost some weight and I met very nice people who helped me in these six weeks of the challenge.

I Just completed my 6 week challenge and I feel AMAZING!! I loved all of the intense workouts that we did. I feel confident something I always struggled with when it came to working out.Lets talk about the trainers they are super supportive, they teach you step by step on how to do a workout properly. Steven and Daniel classes were super fun they are hilarious and put you to Work your butt off which I appreciated since I feel we sometimes need that extra push during the workout. If you are looking to a better and healthy lifestyle I would highly recommend starting with this challenge you will be surprise on how much your body can do in so little time, with the proper nutrition. I am Super excited for whats next on my body transformation so happy I started with Achieve 24.

Hi everyone!
So I guess let me start off by telling my story a little. I was very overweight, weighing in at about 250 lbs about 2 years ago. I’ve been on a fitness journey for that time and hit a very drastic plateau for about one consistent year despite constantly hitting the gym, trying different diets, different workouts, and different gyms. I’ve always tried watching YouTube videos to guide my workouts at the gym and every time I was never sure if I was doing things right. I would do the same for my nutrition- mainly going based on information I found on the internet. I honestly came across the Instagram ad for this gym and saw the 6 week challenge and decided to take a look. I was apprehensive talking to Ivan but it was the BEST decision I’ve ever made in my life. I’m honestly so grateful for having seen the ad and taken that leap of faith in them & in myself because the requirements for the challenge aren’t dependent on anything but your own WILL and DESIRE to accomplish the goal and they make is so EASY to follow the plan. Not only did it challenge me physically, it challenged me mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. Seeing myself hit the percentages every week or not hitting them really makes you reevaluate your lifestyle and makes you reflect on your own habits that could be limiting you. Like anything else in life, you have setbacks but the trainers are always there to help you and get you back on track whether it be through your nutrition or exercise, they always want to see you succeed which is very encouraging.
Prior to the challenge, I had low to moderate knowledge on what foods were best for me to eat in order for me to get where I wanted to be. I had no concept of what my nutrition looked like or where I should even get started- they made that portion of the challenge so easy and understandable. All of the personal trainers were amazing (Ivan Cholakov and Daniel Zimmerman) but I really want to give a special shout out to STEVEN HEIN for all the 6/7am workouts I did with him. Literally- that’s the only time I could go with my crazy work schedule and he would always be there. He saw the hard work I would put in and was always very encouraging. I was very nervous at one point and helped me achieve the goal and I couldn’t be more thankful.
The comradery that you develop with the other people going through the same struggle bus with you is awesome because everyone is willing to share what works for them. The Facebook group page, cookbook, and app to schedule classes are all amazingly helpful and easy to access. I’m so proud of my friends that have gone through the challenge with me and I’m beyond grateful for all the knowledge I’ve gained throughout this experience. This is an amazing gym and if you’re looking to change your life, do the challenge. Take that step of faith. It’s honestly worth it.
The facility itself is filled with friendly people, good equipment and is 24 HOURS. That is something I love because most gyms close so early and with my schedule I can only do early morning or late night workouts. Very convenient. They have everything you could possibly need and more! Loved my experience and will definitely be back for more of their classes!
I hope this helps anyone that might be on the fence about this. All it takes is discipline and determination. You can do it!
I’ve lost 6% body fat- I used to weigh 162 lbs at 32% body fat starting the challenge and ended at 145lbs with 26% body fat and still going! THANK YOU to ACHIEVE 24 HOUR FITNESS!

I finish the 6 week challenge ! Though I didn't hit my goal, i got what I was mainly there for . To find my motivation to get back in the gym and to create healthier eating habits (which I never had before). About 2 years ago i was in the best shape of my life , i was going to the gym almost everyday , lifting heavy and had a healthy body fat % . Then i got a new job with crazy hours and lost my gym buddy. I struggled going by myself but managed and then I tore something in my ankle that took me out of commission for 6 months. After that I lost all motivation. This 6 week challenge was very hard at first mostly because of my diet. Honestly i don't know how I did it because the first 2 weeks were rough without cookies, milk & cheese but I stuck with it and made it through completely. After the 3rd/4th weeks it became a lot easier to cope with not eating junk. If you have the drive and desire to live better this challenge is a great first step. I did lose 9lbs and 4.5% body fat which I am very happy with but not done with. I'm not concern so much about weight but focusing on my body fat % which i will continue to go to this gym & classes and strive to lose at least 6% more body fat. Thank you Steve and Danny for great work outs and advice ! See you tomorrow !

Please please use common sense when trying out 6 week challenge. If you look at every one's post you will see a trend I'm their wording and praises. They have to do it, it is not optional. You have to put down $800 that you will not ever see again. They talk a really good game and all but it really is not worth it. Reach out to me and I can put you on a better path.

I found out about this challenge from an instagram ad, and figured, I would give it a shot. I met with Ivan and decided to give it a go. Almost 8 weeks later and I am happy to say that not only did I hit my goal of losing the 25lbs, but I also hit their other goal of losing 5.5% body fat!
My schedule allowed me to take 2- 6am classes on Tuesday and Thursdays and then the 9am class on Saturday, all primarily with Steve. I thought he was really helpful, he was willing to work with the entire class, and also understood that 6am classes are tough!
Thank you to the team at Achieve 24, Steve, Ivan, Danny, Chris and Eric!!!

I recently completed the 6-week challenge at Achieve 24 Fitness. I was looking for a gym where I could meet like-minded people that were motivated and serious about their training goals, and I seem to have found what I was looking for here. The overall atmosphere of this place is both friendly and welcoming. Their training sessions are available multiple days a week and at different times, which makes it easy to attend even when you have a family of your own and a full time job. Throughout the challenge I had the opportunity of working out with a fantastic group of about 15 people. The camaraderie was really great. Lastly, I have to say I really enjoyed Steven’s and Danny’s workouts because I thought they were well planned and balanced.

YOU WILL NEED TO FIGHT FOR A REFUND.
Completed my challenge back in march, Completed it with meeting the requirements to receive my money back. it is now July and still havent received anything. after the challenge was over I waited 2 weeks I contacted one of the trainers only to be told I had to fill out a form which would then take 30 days to process.
30 days passed still nothing, I was then told to contact the owners assistant as there wasn't anything the trainers could do. I reach out to the assistant and never got a reply from them it has been over a week. this is a terrible business practice and establishment that will keep your money unless you request a refund and even then avoid anything that requires doing so.
As stated by others all the positive reviews are done so because its apart of the contract, once you finish 6 weeks whether you "qualify" for a refund or not you are to post pictures, leave a review on google, facebook, yelp etc.

I saw so many changes within myself through discipline and dedication to this challenge and it has manifested on the outside. I am now more confident in my skin and ready to continue my journey. Special shoutout to Danny Zimmermann, Steve Hein, Erick Perez for the crazy intense workouts that I grew to love & Ivan Cholakov for convincing me to take a leap of faith for myself.

What can I say about my experience? I don’t know where to begin. When I decided to join the challenge, I wasn’t in the best place physically or emotionally. I was at my heaviest weight at 232lbs and things just didn’t seem to be going well overall for me. Deciding to participate and conquer this challenge really changed my life.
I’ve been effected in such an incredibly positive way. I’m so very thankful to everyone involved with the 6 week challenge at Achieve. Ivan was nothing short of great. I thank him for meeting with me that day and taking the time to explain everything in great detail. He made me feel comfortable and ready to get started right away.
The training that I received during the challenge was phenomenal. The program set me up for success in every way. I feel like it’s almost impossible to not complete the challenge while following the program. During the training sessions, I was pushed harder than I’ve ever been pushed before. I was drenched in sweat after every workout and loved every minute of it. It was great loosing the weight and feeling my performance getting better every session.
I have been recommending Achieve24 to everyone I come in contact with. The trainers are great and really cared about my success. I would be remised if I didn’t single out Danny Zimmerman. He is exceptional at what he does and I found myself targeting his training sessions during the challenge. He certainly stood out amongst a group of already great trainers.
I now weigh 204.5lbs and feel great. I plan on returning to Achieve to continue training and hit new weight loss goals. When I come back, I know I’ll be set up to win and I can’t wait!

I didn’t believe that I could do it at the beginning but after the first 4 weeks and starting to see results I was amazed! I’m so glad I signed up for the challenge. It was a great way to get back into being active and learning how to eat right. I was basically doing nothing for my health and well-being before, now I have the tools to make better choices and be more fit. I would recommend this program to anyone who doesn’t know where to begin, they make it fool-proof and easy for everyone. The group workouts were defiantly challenging but not exhausting and every exercise can be modified to suit your personal needs. Their instructors were very informative in every aspect and always there for me whenever I had questions or concerns. They are doing g great things!! Thanks Achieve 24 Fitness!!

I just completed my 6 week challenge, before the challenge I had lost 15 pounds on my own dieting (so it took sometime). It was finally time to get back in the gym after almost 2 years out of it. This challenge has taught me what to eat and what not to as well as how strong I really am. On the challenge I lost another 13 pounds and I am sure some body fat. I went down 2 shirt sizes and well on my way to 2 pant sizes. My energy is fantastic to the point that I do not need pre-workout anymore, grant it I still have my down days (Mondays are the worst). The guys are awesome they push you and keep you motivated even when you are not. I will be going back to work out 3 times a week and start classes once again in July. Thank you guys you are wonderful!!

Probably not the best before and after picture because I feel like I can barely see any difference 🤦🏻♀️ but today, I finished my 6 week challenge!! I weighed 138.4 (the heaviest I had ever been) and weighed out 125.8. (Lost 12.6lbs). I started with 32.4% body fat and ended with 24.7% (lost 7.7% body fat). It has been such an amazing journey & I loved every minute of it! I followed the diet, trained 3X a week plus more sometimes.
Initially, I joined this challenge because I wanted to lose weight for my next trip but instead, it ended up being one of the best choices I’ve made this year. I remember my first day, i took Hiba’s class and I had to walk out to throw up 😂 (one of her crazy leg days, not a good first day, couldn’t walk for two days) I honestly thought I wasn’t gonna come back, but I’m glad I did.
I’m happy to say that I will be joining and continuing my fitness journey with achieve 24! Thank you guys for being so amazing! Danny Terrence Ivan & Steve! ❤️ keep kicking my butt 😂

Finished my 6 week challenge & feeling great. After the first week I felt stronger & was happy to see the nutrition part get easier too, everything got better from there. Looking "good" in clothes is one thing but I was getting to the point that my jeans were way tighter & I kept wearing loose tops to make up for the love handles overflowing. It's amazing to see my body react to the right foods & feel good all day long when feeding it the right things. Starting the challenge was a great decision & I only wish I started sooner. All the 6AM trainers came with great energy & the convenience of booking classes via the app & planning all the my workouts for the week on Sunday was crucial for me! Overall I lost 8 lbs & 7% body fat. The challenge was exactly the boost I needed to keep going & continue getting wedding ready!

Don’t believe when you see a fake advertisement about the “FREE 6 Week Challenge” because you have to pay when signing up. This sales tactic is to get you in their gym and finding out it’s not free.

I took and completed my 6 week challenge several months ago and let me tell you, Danny is an amazing trainer.
He truly cares about his trainees.
I lost 35lbs and 6.8% body fat. I was a little aggressive going 4x a week sometimes but his motivation kept me going.
I did this all while having 6 herniated disks, a slight rare on my right rotator cuff and arthritis on my knees, wrists, neck and left shoulder.
If I can do it, anyone can!

BLESSINGS TO THE STAFF and Danny, THANK YOU!! God bless you!!

I joined this gym for the 6 week challenge. I didn’t think it twice to sign up I was so excited to start. You get a personalized meal plan depends on how much you weight and access to group fitness. When I started I had 142 lbs and my meal plan only included protein, carbs, and vegetables no fats at all. Now I’m 132lbs and I lose 6% body fat. These classes are actually a lot like personal training sessions with the amount of attention that the coaches give to everyone. The coaches and staff are really supportive with any questions or concerns you can have and they always motivating you to push forward. This is an excellent way to make a big change in your life and just don’t do it for 6 weeks only but motivate your self to make it a lifestyle to help others to achieve they goal too. I’m looking forward to achieve a different goal and I’m already taking action on it . Definitely recommended stop in sign up and change your life completely.

Started the challenge at 268. After a lot of work, motivation and direction from the amazing trainers, especially, Danny Zimmerman, got down to 239. Achieve 24 really drives you to be the best version of yourself! Unwavering support from staff and fellow challengers ensures that you reach your goals! Thanks to all!

READ BEFORE SIGINING UP FOR THE 6 WEEK CHALLENGE! This is a warning to anyone/everyone interested in joining this scam program... BEWARE! They advertise this challenge as motivational and empowering when it is a complete and total SCAM. All of these positive reviews that you see on google reviews are from people who are “CONTRACTUALLY OBGLIATED” to post a good review in hopes of getting their money (refund) back. And 80% will not receive their money. When you complete the challenge, you have two options: use the money towards a membership to the gym (rip off), or they will find something wrong with your results and/or will tell you that you did not do what you were told (which Ivan never explains when signing up). They do not accurately communicate any of the requirements. I was lied to during my sign up and weigh out by Ivan. Anyone in contact with Ivan about this challenge I advise you to stay away from him as far as possible. He lies, takes advantage of anyone who does not know a gym inside and out, and I was even threatened and intimidated by him in a one-on-one meeting. They take advantage of anyone they believe is easy to manipulate. Do not think of this as a free challenge, and do not believe these fake reviews. Ivan is a good salesperson like a car dealership. Beware of HOLLY RICHARDSON when trying to get your refund, another fake scammer (liar).

My experience @ Achieve24 was Great. I couldn't be happier with the service from the cool down-to-earth trainers to the intense workouts they put me thru. plus they gave me a personal meal plan to follow and nutritionist I could speak to whenever I had Any Questions. It was not that far from where I lived and I loved how easy it was to pick my classes for Large Group workouts on the app and reschedule if ever I had any emergencies come up. Overall My time was well spent @ Achieve24 and I'm very happy they started this 6 week challenge program 👍🏾

I’ve completed my 6 week challenge with Achieve 24 fitness and it was a learning experience! This is a great platform for those who want to get in shape but really don’t know or understand the mechanics of body movement or just plain old need motivation. Their Self pace classes with tons of support from the staff and fellow participants are excellent. While I did not “meet” the challenge 25 lb goal I did lose close to 20lbs! I’m not discouraged because this is only the BEGINNING. This was the best way to get back on track with my fitness and health goals. I was very pleased with the large group sessions and all the different styles each coach brings. I want to thank the whole Achieve 24 fitness team for their hard work and dedication to motivating people to remain on the road to a healthier lifestyle. You are changing lives inch by inch Keep up the good work!

This has been an awesome challenge! Great gym great staff! Being in the Army for 12 years has showed me to never give up on a reaching your goals. I fell off track for a while and realized I was the heaviest I've ever been. I saw this challenge pop up numerous times on Facebook and decided to reach out and give it a try. I was motivated from the very beginning with sweetheart Ivan Cholakov and never looked back. My classes were extremely challenging and I have to give all the credit to Lee, Danny, Hiba, Steve, & Hursh! You guys pushed me and kept me going with your music and motivation. I reached my goal of 6% body fat and lost 12lbs. I started at 186lbs and 34% body fat. I'm now 174lbs 28% body fat. I feel amazing💪 I'm going to continue this awesome challenge again when I get back from Bermuda. 🌴🌴thanks for all that you did guys! You rock!!

I've completed my 6 weeks challenged with Achieve 24 Fitness. Even tho my goals weren't met in a timely manner, I have more energy and self motivation to push myself harder to continuously "Do Me." All of my classes were with Danny Zimmermann. His performances as a coach have no boundaries. He does the total body workouts with differential levels and offers advice when needed. He gives you alternative choices what you can do ranging from easy, normal , & to advance levels of the same workouts. It is your call regarding what you can do yourself to the best of your own abilities and preferences.
Staying positive, focused and passionate about our purpose is what we are all about!!
THANK YOU again for these 6 weeks amazing classes!!!! All of my classes were great. I love each activity since it was intense and at the same time as he jokes around, you can feel the pain with gain. It was so much fun and so empowering. Danny, you are absolutely amazing coach.

I came upon the 6 week challenge accidentally. I was going through the junk mail that I let pile up on my kitchen table after a couple of days. When I saw this flyer, it looked pretty interesting and the testimonials on the flyer made me think about it seriously. So after a few days of thinking about it, I decided to do it, and I’m so glad I did.
When I started 6 weeks ago, I weighed 228.5 with 26.8% body fat. I just weighed out this morning and now I’m 205.8 and I have 17.7% body fat. I lost more than 23 pounds and 9% body fat. It was difficult to do, but with the help and encouragement of Ivan Cholakov, and Danny Zimmermann, I made it. I’d like to thank them both. I couldn’t have reached this amazing goal with out you guys. Thank you so much!

Today I had my final weigh-in after completing the 6-Week Challenge at Achieve 24 & I am so pleased with my results. Over the past 6 weeks, I dropped about 7 pounds and almost 10% body fat! More importantly, I feel better overall as I have so much more energy throughout the day.
I’m not going to say that it was always easy, but trainers like Danny Zimmermann and Hursh Patel are always there to make classes fun & to help advise and answer any questions.
I especially want to thank Danny for his energy, enthusiasm and encouragement. Thank you for teaching me the real meaning of no excuses & for putting up with my “loose shoelaces”😂 Couldn’t have done this without you!
For anyone who may be hesitant about starting the challenge, take it from a working, full-time double-major college student— IT WORKS IF YOU WORK IT!

Finished my 6 week challenge today and couldn’t be happier. I am down 10 pounds and a little over 6% body fat but that’s not even the important part. I have an incredible amount of energy and I just feel so much better overall. I started this with absolutely no upper body strength and I am now proud to say that I can hold a plank for a minute. Who would have ever thought?? I have also lost 2.5 inches from my waist. INCREDIBLE. My after photo below shows how my pants fit me.. and I just bought those in December!
At first I was a little worried about the diet plan. But at this point I don’t even crave the foods I used to once obsess over. Ivan and Danny truly know what they’re doing! I would do this challenge all over again if I could.
I can’t thank achieve 24 and all the staff enough for the past 6 weeks. You guys have been not only motivating but inspirational. Keep changing lives the way you do!!

Yesterday was my last day of the 6 week challenge and a challenge it was. Changing my eating habits from junk to healthier solutions based on the meal plan provided by Achieve 24 helped boost my energy on a day to day basis. The workouts were intense and helped me re-condition my body and build my stamina to the days from when I was in the military. The staff was extremely professional, attentive and knowledgeable to help anyone achieve their personal goals whether it be losing wait or toning up. I started off at 141lbs and 17% body fat and ended at 141.5lbs and 10.5% body fat. Lost body fat and built muscle 💪🏼😁. Extremely happy with my progress and it’s all thanks to Achieve 24. I strongly recommend this gym.

I happily reached my goal of losing 6% body fat. The first few weeks were not easy I was very de-conditioned and out of shape. It was a bit challenging at first changing my diet and the workouts were intense. But by week 3 I had noticed that I wasn't as tired as I started to have more energy throughout the day.

I completed their 6 week challenge last week. I started out at 302lbs 33.6% body fat. I shed 26lbs and 5.2% body fat in 6 weeks. The classes are challenging at first but as your start going more you'll slowly start realizing you are doing more reps and becoming stronger and dropping pounds. Try out all the trainers because they all have different styles and stick with the one you like. I personally enjoyed Danny Zimmerman's classes the most. If you put your mind to it and stick to the diet, you too can achieve your goals at Achieve 24

6 week challenge completed. I weighed in at 185 lbs and had 22.3% body fat. It was a big challenge to cut food down and the workouts were intense. I was kind of already used to the gym since im a gym addict but this was totally different since i only did weights. I began eating healthier made it easier to cut out all the junk food I used to eat. I felt much better and continued to work hard. I now end my 6 weeks at 174lbs and have 16.3% body fat.

Finished the 6-week challenge and went from a high 17% body fat to 11% by the end.
Overall, my experience of Achieve 24 Fitness has been phenomenal. Since my first step through the door to my last, the entire staff has been nothing but welcoming. They bring that same welcoming attitude each day and it just spreads throughout the community, making each of my visits really pleasant. More importantly, all the trainers are amazing and are great at what they do. They are knowledgeable, helpful, and motivating and will push everyone into becoming better versions of themselves. I'd like to thank Danny Zimmermann in particular, as he has trained with me through most of this challenge and helped me achieve my goal.
The challenge itself is just that, a challenge. It is both tough physically and mentally, however, the coaches and the community are all there to guide you and help you push through it all. So for anyone hesitant on joining the gym or this challenge, just do it. You won't regret your decision.

I just completed the 6-week challenge at Achieve24 Fitness and I am happy to say that I reached my goal. I am an active person, but going to the gym is not really my thing. I signed up for the challenge because of the group workouts. At first, they were challenging and I had to push myself to get through them. Overtime as I got stronger, they became even more rewarding. I took most of my classes with Danny Zimmerman. He’s a great trainer and I have to applaud his enthusiasm and dedication. Danny motivated me every day and he put each workout together to maximize impact. I really have to thank him for my result. I am vegan and I did have some difficulty with the meal plan. My body had a hard time recovering after the intense workouts. Protein shakes helped some, but I didn’t like drinking them.
Overall, I lost 8.2 lbs and 6.1% body fat. I am leaner and stronger, and I have more energy and stamina than before. I recommend this program to anyone who is looking to eat healthier and become fitter.

Challenge completed and BEAT! Down 30 pounds and 5% body fat! When I started, I couldn't even do a modified pushup, now I can do regular push ups. More importantly, I can keep up with my kids on the playground, I can actually do the monkey bars on the playground again! I don't have to hold my breath to tie my shoes.

I finished my 6 week challenge today. I started out at a weight of 145.2 lbs and 30.8% body fat. My final weight was 138.5 and 26% body fat. Lost 7 lbs and 4% body fat. I feel great, actually learned a lot following the individualized meal plan. The classes where amazing, the burn and sweat was all worth it. I mostly had classes with Danny Zimmermann but all the trainers were extremely nice and helpful. The results I see and feel is nothing short of amazing and I plan on continuing on this journey I started.
I was determine to get my pre (3) kids body back. I did my best but final realized I needed help, that's how I arrived at Achieve 24 of Elmwood Park's door. (Never stepped foot in a gym before) Gyms had intimidated me, but when I walked in for my initial consult with Ivan cholosky I felt instantly at ease. Even walking in for my first class felt extremely comfortable. Besides achieving results I was hoping for, I met some really great challengers and found new friends.
I can't thank the Achieve 24 staff and trainers enough for their knowledge, skills and just for being so great.
I would recommend them to friends, family and anyone for that matter.
THANKS AGAIN, YOU ARE THE BEST!😁

I completed my 6 week challenge yesterday. It wasn't an easy road but definitely one I would recommend to my family and friends. I weighed in at 250 lbs and 29.9%body fat. I was also given a meal plan to follow dueing the six weeks. I must say that the first two weeks were tough. I completely changed my eating habits and worked out 3 times a week. I felt exhausted from workouts and ate less than I was used to eating. But by week 3, I had noticed I had more energy and stamina when I went to the gym and also in everyday activities. I pushed on and glad I did. I weighed out of my challenge at 222 lbs and 26.3% body fat. I have to give a huge thanks to Ivan, Danny, Hiba, Lorena and to the awesome staff at Achieve 24 for pushing me and motivating me to better myself. I will continue my journey to bettering myself and now have better eating habits to help me. Thank You!

I finally finished my 6 week challenge! During the whole time I was thinking to myself that I could not wait to finish and eat something yummy and that day finally came but I found myself eating healthy because I simply did not crave anymore. This is not just a 6 week challenge, it’s a complete life style change. I have been an athlete my whole life and after having my daughter I was the heaviest I have ever been. At 164lbs and 33.8%BF; I found myself getting short of breath while playing and caring for my little girl and that was not okay, even though I felt okay I WAS NOT.. I started this challenge excited and hopeful.. it was hard very hard because of the commitment you have to put in but it’s worth it because it’s a commitment with yourself! The staff and trainers are great, you become a family which is great because it makes it more enjoyable to go and be there with people that truly genuinely care! Honestly it’s not about how to you look or think you look even though that is the drive for most, the bigger picture here is YOUR HEALTH. For me it was never about that but rather being healthy for my kid and loved ones by dropping my risk of hearth disease, diabetes and all others sorts of things! Because yes we are young but you are not going to stay young forever... you only have one life and you only have one body, take care of it so you can actually not just live life but enjoy it the right way! I am excited for what is ahead! The best advice I can give is if you have not done heavy work outs (because these workouts are hard) educate yourself because yes you will feel pain, yes you will feel dizziness but learn what is right and learn how to work out and most importantly know the difference between PUSHING yourself and knowing when you need a break. Learn how to breath! Don’t stop at the first sight or exhaustion or pain... No one ever died of pain but they have died of heart disease.. always challenge yourself if you lift 10lb next time try 12, then 15..and push yourself, if you got dizzy within 5 minutes push yourself an extra minute and the next workout you will get dizzy 1 minute less until you don’t get dizzy anymore! otherwise you will never get to where you want to be but for this you need to know your body and these trainers will help get there! Ask questions, educate yourself and CHALLENGE YOURSELF! results; 149lbs and 27.6% BF.. thank you Lorena Delgado, Danny Zimmermann, Hursh Patel, Ivan Cholakov and all other staff and trainers that are there and gone you guys are all great and triuly amazing people!

Starting this challenge I expected it to be impossible! The meals, the workouts, I was so out of shape that I didn’t Think I could do this! Making friends at the gym and taking classes with them helped me tremendously. So this message is also to all my friends who pushed me when I was giving up and to my trainers kaitlyn and Lorena thank you for pushing me and bringing my happiness back.
I wanna thank Ivan for bringing me into this challenge and all the trainers for helping me get through this. I started this challenge a depressed, lost, miserable 181 pounds. Today I am 168 and happy I’m Getting my life on track! Although I did not hit my “25” pounds I did hit the 6% body fat! Thankful for this challenge I’m giving me my life back! I felt myself platoing at week 5 and 6 but that did not stop me from pushing myself and doing the work out! Sometimes your body does that to you it’s not your fault! So if you are going through the same thing don’t be discouraged! Keep pushing towards your goals! You will get there one day! I am not at my goal but I am closer then when I started! I’m stronger mentally and physically because of this challenge! I can’t wait to continue my journey with the Achieve24 family and hit my goal!

I am very proud to say that I beat the 6 week fitness challenge and then some!!! I found this challenge to be very difficult between changing my eating habits and doing classes 3-4 times a week!! I am amazed at the results!! Being so dedicated and holding fast to my diet was the most important factor in this challenge. I want to thank Ivan Cholakov, Dan Zimmerman, and Lorena Delgado for keeping me focused and pushing me to challenge myself at every class!! I started at 160lbs and 38.6 BMI 6 weeks later I am 135lbs and BMI is 27.2!!! Down 25lbs. and 11.4% BMI. I recommend this challenge to everyone! I feel wanting to be fit and healthy is just a state of mind. Some advice going in....be focused, be determined and most of all you need to want to live the lifestyle! Keep pushing to challenge yourselves everyday!! Achieve 24 hour fitness is definitely a great start!!
