“Brian, Welcome to CRUNCH! You are opted-in to receive automated marketing messaging from Crunch.. blah blah blah”

Bad marketing team is spamming people. I didn’t opt in for anything. They purchased/are using data they purchased.

Unfortunately I left a review 5 months ago when it looked like the new company was going to revamp this gym, and they have not done much. The staff here are all very kind, but the gym itself is not anything to write home about. A lot of equipment was removed, hardly any new equipment had been added. Machines are down for days, if not weeks. So much dead space. Not nearly enough equipment, it’s really unfortunate that this facility is actually in worse shape after they took over JS. Getting a decent workout in is almost impossible.

I’ve been coming to this site since I moved back to Marlboro in 2020. For the most part my experience has always been very good. The locker room has always been clean, the music selection fits the vibe, and the space usage feels much better since becoming Crunch. One thing I can absolutely acknowledge is how accommodating Dara had been during that transition. Many of the memberships weren’t transferred and getting inside was sometimes frustrating. The only real complaint I have about this site is the lack equipment for developing one’s calves. Overall, solid Gym.

My husband and I are both paying members at Crunch, and today we were shocked at how we were treated by an employee named Jordan. We were simply walking into the gym when he was extremely rude and dismissive toward us. When we asked for a manager, he told us he didn’t care and said his name was Jordan — even making a sarcastic joke that if we forget, just think of “Michael Jordan.” This type of behavior is completely unacceptable, especially toward loyal members who are just trying to come in and work out. We ended up leaving without using the gym at all because of how disrespected we felt. We will be cancelling our memberships and letting our friends know about our experience. A fitness center should be a welcoming place, not one where staff mock and belittle members.

Today was the first time I visited this South Marlboro Crunch. When I scanned my card and proceeded into the gym I was immediately approached by Lorraine, who informed me that she is the manager of this particular gym. Lorraine was exceedingly friendly and welcoming and offered to show me around since I was unfamiliar with this gym. I immediately took notice of how she patiently acclimated me to my new surroundings, while contemporaneously informing me about the functionality of specific machines and equipment.

Lorraine's comprehensive understanding of this demonstrated her elevated level of professionalism, as well as her innate dedication to the field. She certainly made me feel as though I was a significantly valued member. After I completed my work-out I stopped by the front desk to let her know just how positive our initial interaction was and to express my adulation of her. It is quite apparent that she is a very valuable member of this gym franchise.

I would give this a 5/5 as I am a peak member and personal train. I love my trainer Lulu. The reason for the 3/5 is because of their “policies”. I pay extra to be a peak member which means I can bring a guest, come “after hours”, and attend classes for free. I went tonight with my boyfriend and there was one employee behind the desk. We were told since it was after 8 (it was 8:30) that he wasn’t allowed to be there because it was “unmanned” hours…i’m sorry you’re an employee and your manning the desk?? I’ve taken guests before and all they do is sign a waiver and give their contact information (aka for Crunch to try and get them to sign up for a membership or etc). I don’t see why that can’t happen after 8 when there’s someone at the desk. Also I’ve never been told this “rule” before. I just feel like Crunch has many hidden “policies” that they don’t openly tell you about.

I recently joined crunch as I wanted to strengthen and tone my body . I started training with Lulu and I absolutely love her , I look forward to coming to the gym and learning .
I was so self conscious and nervous when I first started as I have not trained before , Lulu helped take those fears away, she is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and kind all while she is kicking my butt .
She has been my cheerleader. The bonus is she started to teach some Zumba's classes and I am hooked ! I hope she can add some more classes to the schedule as my work schedule changes . Thank you Lulu , I truly appreciate you and your patience in helping me achieve my goals! Let’s do this !

Thank you

I recently purchased a Peak Results membership, but had a really frustrating experience at Crunch South Marlboro. My friend came in at 6:05 p.m. on a Friday and I wanted to use a guest pass to work out with him, not realizing there’s a temporary rule that guests aren’t allowed after 6. The sign on the door still said Mon–Fri until 8 p.m., so it was confusing.

When I asked about it, an employee named Jake started yelling at me and was extremely rude. I wasn’t trying to break any rules—and he insisted that I wasn’t listening to him. No member should be talked to like that. I have heard other stories of him from fellow members of him being very rude to them as well. Honestly, he shouldn’t be working there if that’s how he treats people.

I have loved this gym ever since it turned into Crunch. It is SO much better than Jersey Strong. The front desk is always staffed and super nice. The class schedule has improved drastically, and the level of difficulty has increased as well. I am currently working with Lulu as my personal trainer for one on one sessions and she is the real deal. She is knowledgeable and works you hard. She has since started teaching the cardio sculpt & zumba, BUT she needs to have more classes on the schedule. As someone who loves the class environment where you actually work hard and see results, Lulu's class is where it's at. CRUNCH should have more classes and her cardio classes should be LONGER than 30 minutes. 45 minutes would be perfect!

EDIT TO ADDRESS SHAMELESS OWNER COMMENT:

If you were actually sorry you would be happy to refund me 4 months worth of membership fees and late fees, because that’s how long it took for people to finally cancel my account after I had originally asked.

FOR ANYONE CONSIDERING THIS GYM, GET A MEMBERSHIP ELSEWHERE, THERE ARE MANY CLOSE OPTIONS BESIDES THIS ONE.

Management is impossible to contact and won’t let me cancel. I moved away and it’s like pulling teeth trying to get someone on the phone who isn’t a 3rd party useless customer support. Their Instagram account forwarded me the old number of jersey strong and an email address that doesn’t respond. Ive been a paying member for over a decade and these grifters want to burn bridges over $25 a month! Shame on you, I’m getting my whole family to cancel.

The worst gym ever all the sales reps besides one will tell you to cancel your account so you can join again so they get commission. Regarding the crunch switch it's horrible I go to multiple locations and I been getting turned away someone told me to wait for email on the first Feb to get into crunch app that dint happen. Every time I go to the gym there's nobody there to speak with The girl the front is the only nice one seems knowledgeable but she's swamped and I was there for 20 minutes today waiting I couldn't even speak to her so I left. I've been going to gyms for over 20 years this is the worst customer service experience ever extremely unprofessional. It's such a shame because there's so much potential especially with this location. Also it's extremely hard to catch somebody at the gym to help you I've been trying to get this situated for a month because I go to different locations because I travel and I'm having a hard time it's extremely frustrating I came in today specifically to speak to somebody but I could not wait any longer because I have things to do. The management needs to get on top of this this is a disgrace.

They had a hoax saying people can add their family members on their plan but it turned out to be another overcharge, I have asked them to push back my annual membership fee (since I canceled it before and then reopened my membership). I followed up multiple times but still charged me, so they charged the annual fee two times a year without my consent, what a scam! They are Tricky people to work with, they never trustworthy.

They make it impossible to cancel, Jersey Strong as a company is a scam check the Better Business Bureau and read all the fine print before you sign up

I think it would help people if I went into more about what happened to me. I signed up for a student membership making it clear I am only in the area for the summer, they said no big deal I can freeze while I’m away and that I could cancel whenever. Then they asked if I would want to sign up for personal training since I would only be around for a couple months it would benefit me to have a professional help me, keep in mind this is $200/month. I was interested since I was working during the summer and asked them if I could cancel my training when school resumed. Verbally the answer was yes but that was a blatant lie to get me to sign onto a 12 month contract, where I could not longer cancel my membership or training. As I tried to read the contract it was turned away from me, the guy signing me up urging me that he has to go somewhere and if I was going to get a tour then there’s really no time to read over everything. I made the mistake of trusting them and paid for it, paying over $1,200 for a membership that I didn’t want couldn’t use because I was off at college. This is a predatory gym, there is absolutely a reason they took the first chance to change their name, like genuinely go to planet fitness it’s on par with this gym.

0 stars plus a law suit. My son cancelled his membership in person at the gym prior to being deployed by the US Navy. It is now 2 months later and not only did they not cancel his membership, they are charging $15 more per month.
Disgusting business practices robbing from a deployed service man.

I joined Manalapan Jersey Strong five years ago. After experiencing different Zumba instructors the energy of Donna VanWagenigne class kept me coming back for more. Her class was so enjoyable. I started following her to Freehold & Marlboro. She brings excitement, positivity, and fun to the class. She addresses us by our first names, I don’t know how she remembers them all. Donna instructs her class easily but at the same time challenges us and makes us look amazing. The girls in the classes are a wonderful group of people. Everyone gets along and supports one another. It’s a great class to feel good, Look good, have fun and get in shape. It’s the fastest hour you’ll ever exercise to. We appreciate you, Donna, we love you, keep making us look good.❤️

My vote is for one and only one. Donna, my favorite and best of all. Donna is a wonderful Zumba instructor. If I would recommend Jersey Strong to anyone, it's because of her. I have to say she's one of main reasons why I'm still a member because of her fun class. I can't imagine this place without her ❤️

I have been taken Zumba at Jersey strong in Marlboro and Manalapan since it opened. The only reason I take this class is because Donna is the best Zumba teacher there is. She is so motivating and just a great person to be around. Everyone in the class is welcome and we even do activities after class!!

Donna is one of the best instructors I have had for any fitness group class. Her Zumba classes are always so much fun and effective. The music and dance moves have just the right mix of dance and fitness, and the music is always great. Donna brings high energy, smiles and enthusiasm to every class no matter what day or time. Love the community she has created - everyone is so welcoming! Thank you Donna.

This is a review for Zumba instructor Donna VanWagenigne. Best instructor ever, lively class, good music selection, introduces a variety of genre, moves, and level of difficulty. Very personable and pleasant demeanor. Makes class interesting and entertaining. Makes me want to go and not miss a class ever. Always looking forward attending her class. She’s the reason I’m still part of Jersey Strong.

Jersey Strong is impossible to work with. I have been trying to cancel my personal training contract when it expires and they have given me NO customer service to get this done. No one in the gym can do anything and there is no response from their customer care side.
Note that the Jersey Strong owner did respond to me below. It did take almost a month to hear from them. It should also be noted that several tickets were submitted relating to my issue. Response was either slow or nonexistent. They just prove my point.

I’ve been a member for almost a year now and have been coming on the overnights. Vending machines are usually broken or don’t accept card, more of a selection of energy drinks would be nice. Another total body machine that is right in the front would be nice since most people have to wait. Paying what I pay should have this stuff.

My wife was a member. Paid VIP membership plus $720 personal training.
We moved to another state. We canceled membership, spoke to supervisor Michael.
They keep charging my card. Emailed Michael, No answer. Charges will be disputed, but think twice before you sign to this place.

Zumba is my favorite because they have the best Zumba instructor in all of New Jersey - Donna VanWageninge!!! She’s amazing with the latest dance moves for an awesome sweaty workout ! However there are very few classes now. All the instructors are leaving and for the cost 50 a month there should be at least classes to take after 5:00PM.

Our family joined Jersey Strong a month ago & we’re so happy we did.
John (Marlboro location) was so professional & helpful in explaining the membership that we bypassed the free trial & joined up. There was no pressure & he’s certainly an asset to Jersey Strong. He was knowledgeable and answered every question & we didn’t feel rushed.

We’ve gone back and forth between the Manalapan & Marlboro location & both are fantastic. I love that the gyms are clean & the equipment well kept. Both locations are spacious, and have plenty of equipment to please everyone! Never overcrowded & a nice mixed crowd. The 24 hour access at the Marlboro location is also a huge benefit. They have a ladies only section, group classes, studio classes, customized workouts, personal coaching, turf training, etc. Something for everyone! There’s plenty of parking in both those locations we’ve worked out at. I also like that they have wipe stations. Another huge benefit is that you have several Jersey Strong locations to choose from.

After just 1 month I’ve seen enough to confidently recommend a Jersey Strong membership. Go to Marlboro & ask for John!

If you found my review helpful, please leave a thumbs up.
Have a great day!

Pros: affordable, decent amount of equipment that's moderately well maintained.

Cons: often feels like a middle school PE class with the amount of children that get dropped off here. Some machine's weight info is completely worn off.

Bottom line: Jersey Strong is kind of in a weird spot. If you're looking for an inexpensive gym you might want to look at one of the $10/mo options and if you're willing to spend a bit more per month you'll probably have better access to equipment because there will be less kids just hanging out there.

Look no further than Jason Zell if you need personal training - extremely informative, approachable, and motivating. Has made the entire gym experience a 10/10 for months now, definitely an asset to Marlboro Jersey Strong.

Wanted to share my review of Jason Zell. He has been my personal trainer for the past 5 months. He developed a special program for me based on my needs and everytime we get together we focus on different parts of the body. He has given me advice on what protein drinks to have, which bars are good for me, mapped out eating plan to help me lose weight. If you want someone who listens to you and your needs and builds a specific program designed for your needs, Jason is the man to go see

I highly recommend Claudia Addison for personal training regardless of your fitness level or age. She is dedicated and personable. My training is customized to my goals yet varied and challenging. She is great at explaining correct form to maximize results and minimize injury. I have learned a lot from our sessions.

This is the worst gym, and completely ripped me off.
I signed up for this gym with all of my friends. I signed up for a student plan as the manager told me, and all my friends did as well. Then I froze my account and instead of charging me 5$ then began charging me 10$. Then without my consent they unfroze my account and started charging me hundreds of dollars. I contacted them and they said they would figure it out. I followed up with and they said it would be taken care of. Then in March they called and said if I do not pay 1400$ they would kill my credit record. As a student 1400$ is a lot of money. They gave me no alternative and pointed me to corporate. When I tried to reach out, the corporate was rude, and told me nothing can work out. Never sign up for Jersey strong, especially if u are a student. Hidden fees, lack of respect, ripped off, and unwillingness to figure things out is all you will get.

CON ARTISTS TO THE MAX!!! Will lie to you just to get you to sign up. I specifically asked if there would be a penalty to cancel membership to which the employee corey told me no as long as I can prove I am moving states. Fast forward to now, THAT WAS A LIE. And Corey is now denying that he ever said that. And good luck getting a live person to talk to about your situation… Ive already “opened a ticket” and havent heard back. The billing company is INTENTIONALLY outsourced to another country that barely speaks english so the burden of dealing with actual issues isnt dealt with on a local level. Im SO disgusted….
