Went there for the first time yesterday and I have to say the equipment may be a bit old, but it is the best equipment you'll find in this area. If you are a fan of the science based lifting crowd, tons of this equipment prioritize the stretch and load it very well. My fav is the camber bar bench press since literally no other gym has it in NJ (from what I have seen). I get so angry at commercial gyms when people don't put their weights back, and this gym enforces that rule. People respect the space and those around them. Love the vibes

Hands down one of the best gyms I’ve worked out in. Plenty of equipment, and the atmosphere is geared to those who are trying to get after it. Not to mention their supplements that they sale in house are second to none. Also, as a veteran its nice to workout at a place where your service is appreciated and honored with a free membership

I’ve been coming here for a little over a year and it has become my home gym. I’ve been lifting for 4-5 years now and I’ve been to so many gyms but this is by far my most favorite. This gym is great for social/non social people & they have great machine that you won’t find at commercial gyms. Personally I enjoy working out and looking up at all of the pictures/paintings of the pros they have on the wall; it’s a reminder to go harder. Overall the best gym in the area for sure.

If your decison on what gym to join is based on how fancy it is or how many amenities it has (pool, basketball court, etc.) then look away. If you actually want to make a change in your appearance then you hit the jackpot. Very serious environment, properly working equipment, and a courteous staff!

I was told years ago that this gym is so hardcore that Dorian Yates trains people there when he's in the area. So of course I had to go one day. I finally had the chance to do so and it was totally worth the drive. It's so hard to find a hardcore/specialty gym that's affordable has just about everything you need such as powerlifting styles benches and monolifts for squatting, as well as hard to find pieces of equipment such as th Hip Belt Squat Machine. If I lived closer to the place it would without a doubt be my main gym.

It's so hard to find specialty gyms that just happen to be affordable yet here you only have to pay JUST $30 and you have at your disposal a monolift, powerlifting style benches, specialty Deadlift bars AND a hip belt Squat machine - great for squaters with shoulder issues! If I lived close by THIS would be my main gym.

Many years ago I would pass by Apollon and never stepped foot in it because I was intimated. Why? Bevause I was tiny little girl wearing size 1 jeans and thought only monsters and beasts worked out here. Fast forward a few years and when I finally stepped foot in Apollon I figured out that it was far from that. You still have ur beasts and monsters that come here but you have a little bit of everything that work out here. I love it here because of that.. u will see your soccer mom working out with an ifbb pro or a new member asking questions about power lifting and no one hesitates to help them! This place is home. This place is family!

I love lifting here!!! You walk in the energy hits you in the face instantly!! The ppl who lift here don't play games and are all serious....but serious enough to not judge or talk down on anyone...ive been coming here for over 2 years an have never seen, felt, or even heard of any body shaming. I can honestly say I've never been to a gym like this and prob never will!!! But remember it's a gym not a fitness club!!!

The best gym in area. Period. Not because it has the flashiest commercials or anything like that. It's because of the atmosphere. Everywhere you look, there is constant motivation. People at every level and ability you can imagine are there, working hard to achieve whatever goals they have set for themselves. The staff are more knowledgeable and friendly than anywhere else you might find, and are always around to give some advice. I've learned so much from them, as well as other members over the past few months. And to top it all off, they have their own line of supplements right there at the gym. Protein, aminos, pre-workouts... everything. It's become another home, and its existence has helped me be a better person mentally and physically. Can't ask for a better gym than this.

Apollon is One if America's top 10 hardcore gyms for a reason - it's f***ing HARDCORE! Everyone in the gym is serious about their goals and that level of commitment is contagious. The staff and even other members are extremely helpful. If you have questions, don't be intimidated by the 300 pound guy squatting 1,000lbs! Chances are that he is the sweetest and strongest guy you'll ever have the pleasure to work with.

I absolutely love this gym, feels like home to me. The staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk too. Always willing to help whenever you need. Along with that everyone who goes there is super friendly and helpful, I've not had one bad experience yet and I've been attending for over a month. As a powerlifter, they have everything I need and more to train efficiently, multiple squat racks, bars, weights, machines. They're always playing either metal or rap, which is fantastic considering those are my two favorite types of music. Overall I love this place, and I recommend it to everyone, whether your a body builder, powerlifter, physique, or just an average person trying to get a good workout. Great environment for everyone!

I'm on the hunt for a new gym so stopped in for a tour. The one girl on duty just buzzed me in and let me roam around alone. The place is tiny. I could probably spit from one end to the other. The equipment is ANCIENT. Some of it even looks home made with sloppy welds and held together with clamps. Most of the dumbbells aren't labeled and again, ANCIENT. So old that they are rusted over. Seriously. The floor of the gym is in pieces with some of the padding missing completely. The historic equipment is packed SO tightly together you can barely walk between them. I mean 2 inches between the equipment would be over stating it.Cardio??? 5 treadmills thrown randomly in a corner behind some other old equipment. and two elliptical that have seen much better days. I almost expected the cardio stuff to not even be powered it is so jammed into a corner. And finally, THE STENCH. Smells like a 20 year old gym locker room - because that's exactly what it is. I did get used to it by the time i left but why would i want to get used to the smell of other people's crevices. FOWL. I went during peak hours and there were 4 people in there. FOUR! lol And the cherry on top? $30/mo for all this nostalgia. No thanks. There's hardcore and then there's naaaasty and useless.

This gym is perfect for anyone at any level of fitness to come in and workout in a no pressure, supportive atmosphere. There are people of all shapes and sizes who have a variety of strength/fitness goals and needs, and no one is ever made to feel unwelcome.

The staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly creating what always feels like a family atmosphere. The training offered is top notch. If you have serious health/fitness goals you can't beat this gym. It's really the one thing everyone who works out here has in common, regardless of ability everyone is there to workout in a serious and productive way. This is not to imply that there is no socialization, just that it is second to the workout unlike all of the "big chain" gyms.

I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to work out in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Apollon Gym is an absolutely awesome gym for bodybuilders and powerlifters, and also for just about anyone looking to get in shape. With 5 squat racks, dumbbells up to 150, and well-maintained Hammer Strength machines, I waited for a piece of equipment maybe twice in 6 years. I have seen elite level strength athletes and moms looking for some casual exercise work out here in the friendly atmosphere, and I have seen trainers working with clients from all parts of the fitness spectrum.

Coolest place I've trained at even though I had to move and am no longer a member. Great atmosphere for serious training. Most people here actually train for strength and athletic performance. Owners/staff are also into serious training.

Has a wide variety of machines if that's your thing, even though they are mostly old machines they do the job better than most modern machines found in newer gyms.
Plenty of power racks and barbells for strength work, along with many specialized equipment for strength training. Chalk is allowed.
Biggest negative is that the place is small and crammed with machines and equipment. Barely any free space left in there. oh and cardio equipment is fairly limited compared to larger gyms.
