Be careful when joining this gym. I've been here a few years now and they have "accidentally" double billed me about 5-6 times over the years. They make it an extreme hassle to get the money refunded back too.

One thing that's good about this gym is the cleanliness. I recently just joined and still don’t understand why this is the only gym in the area that doesn’t open at 5 am. I called and messaged them multiple times and they couldn’t give me an answer to why they will not open at 5. Very poor communication I would say with that. Also they need to be much more strict with the mask policy, I have seen members with masks fully down or under their noses.

I have been an on again, off again member for more than 10 years. Let me say that in person, the staff has always been kind.

During COVID, I attempted to cancel my membership. This was back in September when their website was down. Naturally, I called the club and was told not to worry. They were going to put a note in the system and I would be cancelled before the next billing cycle. This was in SEPTEMBER.

Here I am heading into January, 5-6 calls later after they kept billing me repeatedly after cancelling and receiving confirmations that this would be done. I even had a change to my credit card and asked them not to run it. Guess what they did- they ran it!

Finally, I called at the end of November and spoke to another manager who assured me that they were just backed up, and that I will be cancelled as soon as they get to me. This is understandable. I’m a healthcare provider and it’s COVID. Furthermore, he said that a full refund of the months paid after I had tried to cancel would be refunded.

Today I received an email confirming my cancellation but stating there would be no refund, as I needed to give 15 days notice. I have been going back and forth with this person now via email who does not seem willing to help. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

I’m wondering if this is done on purpose, or just because they are truly overwhelmed. Either way it’s a horrible way to treat your long term customers. Needless to say I won’t be back.

This five star rating is for Cathy Fleming, a trainer at the Middletown facility. Been training with Cathy for close to three years and she is awesome. Besides being personable and fun to talk with, she does an outstanding job pushing you to your limits. She focuses various exercises in accordance with your abilities (or lack thereof) and you'll always leave your session satisfied knowing you really busted your butt to get through that half hour. I look forward to working out with Cathy for many future sessions...

Training with Cathy these past few years is major reason why I have maintained my membership at Jersey Strong. I have remained both challenged and motivated to continue training and improve my overall well-being. I have noticed and experienced drastic improvement in strength, stamina and balance. Cathy is a great trainer and an even better person!

If you like old cardio machines and TVs on them that never work then this is the gym for you. Treadmills have run their course, no fans on any of the machines or in the ceiling to circulate air or cool off, etc. I asked front desk 3 times to check my non-working TV providing the equipment number I was on and instead of coming to me, I had to leave my workout to finally get an answer from the one of the four idol people behind the front desk who said maintenance had yet again to be called to fix. Other than the classes being decent, I would search for another gym if updated and working cardio equipment matters. Thankfully, I belong to Orange Theory where updated cardio machines is top priority.

Jersey Strong has so much to offer and there’s something for everyone! Their yoga classes are amazing and that in itself is a reason to join!!! I have been a member for over 15 yrs and been through so many different styles of fitness including various types of boutique workouts and I love that Jersey Strong created their own boutique environment within the gym! More importantly, our General Manager, Daniela takes such great pride in her job and it shows because ever since she began managing our location I’ve seen so many changes for the better. Every time I’m at the gym I always see her interacting with the members and helping and also always making sure the facility is clean!!!

Everyday when I walk in, I am greeted with a smile and a friendly joke or laugh from Daniella and her amazing team!

I’ve been a member of WOW/Jersey Strong for over half this decade and as of 2019 I’ve worked out in every location and while my home location is Middletown I have been amazed with the growth & overall feel of the fitness center under Daniella’s leadership!

I look forward to another decade and beyond at Jersey Strong! Thank you to Daniella & her team for all they do to make each day better!

I have been an active member of Jersey Strong Middletown for almost two decades. Over that time, there have been some leadership changes.

I have fallen in love with Eric Santamaria’s kickboxing classes. Coming from a martial arts gym, I was a little skeptical as to how intense this class would be. But he does not disappoint! He is obviously knowledgeable in mma, as well as very patient and approachable for those with less experience. His classes are so popular that you must reserve your spot as soon as it opens up 24 hours ahead, or you will not get into the class! Obsessed with starting my Saturday mornings kicking butt with him!

Had first kickboxing class ever last night and would like to thank Trainer Eric Santamaria for making it such a positive experience!!! I was apprehensive but from the moment I arrived Eric made me feel welcomed and comfortable. He inquired about prior injuries and trouble spots before the class and consistently checked in with me throughout the class. He even spent time after class answering questions. I couldn't be happier - the class was exciting and fun and I'm looking forward to the next one. Thank you Eric!!!!

Most importantly , all the equipment is newer and functions as it should. Def recommend for any beginner and seasoned

I go to all the Jersey Strong gyms but I prefer going to the Middletown location which is closer to my place of work. Daniella B and her staff are the most friendly, gracious, and interacting staff with all the members. I do not utilize the training facilities but I watch all of them and how they deal with their clients. I have to say its a pleasure to see how professional they treat everyone. With the advent of the "mega-gym" fitness centers coming into the area it's nice to work out in a place that treats you like family from the minute you walk in the building.

I am writing a review on my kickbox instructor, Eric Santamaria. I started taking kickboxing, Knockout, for the first time in my life in mid May of this year. First thing, is that Eric asked me if I was new to Knockout and what my name is. He has never forgotten my name, very impressive. I see he does this with every member. He also continuously takes the time to show me how to perform the moves correctly. I feel, because of the attention, he pays, that I have continually improved my kickboxing skills. He makes the Knockout experience very personal, but he does this for each and every participant. In my opinion, he is a 5 Star Instructor.

Colleen McNabb was warm and welcoming to me as I came from the location in Wall to Middletown, where we recently moved. She helped me acclimate to the new gym and was friendly. That went a long way, because Jersey Strong instructors are the main reason I go to this gym. She, like all of them in Wall did as well, challenged me in class and encouraged me face-to-face before and after class.

I have been a member of Jersey Strong since it's opening in 2000. Coleen McNabb is always available to the members. She knows her participants in the Group Fitness room by name. The classes are rigorous but always fun. I have often said the name of the gym should be "Jersey Strong featuring Coleen McNabb". She is very often on the schedule for MOSSA classes and others that she masterfully choreographs. She is also an awesome personal trainer. She is a model for other instructors.

Daniella has been very attentive to not only me and my daughter but to all the members at the gym. She is constantly interacting and ensuring all members are having positive experiences.

I was a member for five years from 2005 to 2010. I left due to poor training. The salesperson are young and do not care, they just want to make money. The trainers just try to have you sign up for long term high cost training. The manager did not care and it took three months to cancel my membership. I called and wanted to try a five day pass, the gym was closed when I wanted to talk to the manager on the weekends. I have been a member of planet fitness for three years and I'm looking for another gym. At the time, I even had a coworker sign up and was not given credit for bringing in two new members. Theres no personal attention!
I went back and found out, that they do not care or give a discount to former members. I spoke to the general manager Mike and he treated me a person to just sign up and make some money. I also spoke to the fitness manager and he was in poor shape and did not care to help me. The owners do not care about problems and tell people to file something with them, like this will do any good. There is no change in the service, after nine years.i was told that there are new staff and they would help. This is not the case! They also do false advertising, by saying 9.99 a month with no money down. There is a processing fee and it makes you sign up for a year. I also went to another jersey strong in east brunswick. I had a appointment with the general manager and when I got there, I was given some sales person.

Absolutely horrible gym! Customer service is absolutely rude. I am injured and wanted to transfer over my membership to my husband being that I can not workout anymore due to my injuries and they told me $25 to change it over. Then when I did that, a young girl who they have as a manager said the transaction did not change over yet and told my husband he had to leave the gym in the middle of his workout! I have never heard of a gym being so rude and I pay my membership dues and haven’t been there in months, they could not just let my husband finish up his workout? And be understanding that I did make the switch and it just did not process through?! Absolutely disgusting to embarrass someone like that and have them leave the gym. Once my membership is eligible to cancel I will be canceling them ASAP!!!

Worst gym I have ever been a member at. They are un accommodating and don't know how to treat their members. I have reached out to the organisations email and they were even worse then the members in the store. The equipment is old and at least two machines are broken every time I go in. I honestly wish there was an option to put zero stars because this gym is atrocious and should be shut down for the disregard and disrespect for the people that keep them open. Honestly shocked that this organization is still up and running. I love the concept JERSEY STRONG but this is not how Jersey should be represented.

This gym is good but the best part about it is Laura Perri, the Zumba instructor. Laura is high energy and and an extremely talented teacher. Her routines are easy to follow and she mixes cardio and strength and makes the whole workout a blast. By far and away the best Zumba class I’ve ever taken. The gym membership fee is worth it for her class alone. Now if they would just add another of her classes on mondays, everything would be right with the world.

Clean club. Seems well maintained. I was about to sign a contract when they started to hit me with hidden fees not listed anywhere (i.e. their fun "$0 enrollment fee" event with a $40 processing fee not disclosed until you are signing up... So much for $0 enrollment. Renaming the fee doesn't seem all that honest to me) If they do this before you even sign the contract, I can't imagine what they would do once your in.

I attended the TRX class this morning with George Rague. He was a very supportive instructor and it was a very strengthening hour. He gave us a large variety of strengthening activities while we were standing, squatting, seated and in plank positions. He watched each one of us and adjusted our techniques as he saw we needed corrections for every activity within the hour. Very conscientious. We had 7 people in the class and each one was well accommodated with apparatus and space. I will be doing class with him again. thank you Middletown. I also did Group Fight with Jen O'Brien. This class has been the fountain of youth for me. Jen is a very experienced and accomplished instructor. She has a large catalogue of current and past tracks and the class is always challenging, fun, lively, and effective for increasing cardio endurance and strengthening conditioning. She always instructs participants on proper boxing and kickboxing techniques and provides options to accommodate our activity levels. Our room was large enough to accommodate lateral and forward shuffling so I was not restricted in movement. A great sound system here with Mossa's great selection of music. Thank you Mike LaPlaca of Mossa and Jen O'Brien for a great class

I have been a member of Jersey Strong since January. The gym offers a good variety of classes and plenty of equipment to choose from for your workout of choice. The staff is always pleasant, friendly and helpful. But one staff member, Shea Taggart, is exceptional and someone who I cannot say enough wonderful, positive and amazing things about. She has been my personal trainer since January and has truly changed my life in many ways. Shea has a way of making you want to do everything to the best you can because she has a motivation and determination for excellence in herself and is able to easily convey that in your success through her training. I came to her in the worst shape, in my “middle” years and she has found a way through her training of breaking through barriers for me. She is persistent and has high expectations for you during your workout yet so patient and so supportive. I could go on for much longer but if you are thinking of, or even not thinking of, having a personal trainer, I highly recommend you give Jersey Strong, Middletown a call and ask for Shea for personal training.. You will leave smiling just like Shea does before, during and after your workout !

If I could give this company 0 stars I would. Upon signing up the lady told me that 1) it would be $10 a month and 2) It was month to month and I could opt out at any time. Upon looking at my bank statement the other day I see outrageous charges that are way more than the agreed amount. The staff member signed me up for the most expensive monthly plan which I DID NOT CONSENT TO. It's also a year contract and she lied about it being month to month. I am completely disgusted with this company. You can find a better gym where they won't lie to you. Lear. From my lesson.

Jersey strong has been my place of total body transform for the past 8 months. The staff has been amazingly friendly and accomdating. I should also mention that I have had PT with Ted 2xs a week, who has assisted me with achieving my body fitness and strength goals! Fiends and family are amazed with how quickly I have been able to completely transform my Body, Mind and Spirit!!!

Worst customer service ever. In the gym. At the babysitting center. At corporate. One experience is worse than the next. They won't think twice about stealing your money. And the gym is not that great to be worth the headaches.

This gym might be clean but some staff members there are unknowledgeable. This one staff member named, Ashley, lied to us while we were thinking about signing up. She told us that today was the last day to sign up with the special promotion (when it is really tomorrow). When I told her I would like to think about it, she was extremely pushy and was rude. We were really going home to talk it over, but after that we decided not to be part of a place like this.

It’s a god gym, gets very crowded at busy times. They have a lot of equipment, although some of the cardio equipment is in need of repair or replacement. The staff is very nice and helpful. I joined because they watch my son. They have a nice little baby sitting room. The hours for baby sitting a pretty good. I kinda wish they opened a little earlier in the morning but I start pretty early, they open at 5am during the week.

I have belonged to five different gyms in the Middletown area during a six year span, I feel obligated to write a review on this gym. More so toward the general manager of this location. To make a long story short he told me that I had features on my account that I did not have, he lied to me to get me to sign with this gym, he told me that I had features on my account that I did not have.

You can say "you should have read the fine print", I don't know about you but I prefer a to the point honest answer. I recommend staying away from here because of this General Manager. Can easily have the same gym experience at a different location, for a similar price and also do not need an annual contact.

The best gym I’ve ever been to. I love the x-labs especially x-Bootcamp with Daniella. I’ve taken the class for years and it provides different challenges each time but something that is constant is Daniella’s ability to get everyone motivated and keep us all progressing. I would love for everyone to try the class with her, it really is an amazing experience with incredible physical and mental benefits.

This is a great local gym. It’s much larger than it looks from the front of the building. The classes are wonderful and varied, the staff is helpful, machines are always in good condition and they have a lot of variety. The place is clean and well lit with a wide variety of clientele - all ages/sizes/levels So I feel comfortable. I recently downloaded the app and it helps me keep track of class schedules and sign up in advance for classes I want (which forces me to actually go!) They have good promotions from time to time for personal training, bring a friend and other promos. Really happy overall!

I love my gym so much! The staff is incredible. They great you by name and build individual relationships with the guests because they purely love what they do. There are always classes at the times i need them and the trainers put so much effort into mashing sure each guest gets the most or off their without. Jersey Strong, by far is the best place to join and i highly recommend Middletown to be exact. Ask for Jordan when signing up!

Bigger than the retro in Middletown, but still have extreme crowdedness at times. Machines are good, but sometimes broken. Still annoyed they replaced the racket ball court with heavy bags that are rarely used besides a few classes. Bring back the court. Other than that, a good gym for a quality work out.

A couple months ago I was shopping around gyms in my area because I had recently graduated from college and was living back at home. This gym was 10 minutes away from me and I saw they were advertising a $9.99 a month plan and I figured that would be perfect for me considering that, as a recent college grad, I don’t have much money to spare but my fitness was still important.

I set up an appointment with Jordan, who, from the get go was super rude and judgemental. He asked me what I wanted to work on fitness-wise, and I said I have been very determined to improve my upper-body strength. He instead just kept insisting that I was there to lose weight, which was not the case. He also insinuated that, if I didn’t go with their most expensive plan (which was $30 a month without the fees—totally not what I was looking for) that I wasn’t “serious” about my physical health and fitness. This really rubbed me the wrong way. I work in customer service myself, and I understand wanting to upsell your product but I’m pretty sure that insulting potential customers is not the best route to go. That being said, I figured I’d still take advantage of the 5 day free trial.

After the appointment I decided to try out the equipment. In the hour and a half I was working out, I witnessed a grown man try to pick a fight with a teenager because he “stole his equipment” when I suppose he wasn’t done yet and had to be escorted from the premises, another man stretching on two separate machines and telling me that he “planned on using both” when I asked if I could use it, and another man coming up to me and telling me that he had been “watching me work out for the past half hour” and wanted to “give me tips” on my form, which was just plain creepy.

Aside from Jordan and another woman who I also met who seemed very dismissive of me, the rest of the staff seemed very nice and the equipment was clean and worked well. However the amount of equipment was very limited and the clientele were generally rude, obnoxious, or just bizarre. I was supposed to go for a follow up appointment with Jordan the last day of my 5 day trial and I flaked because he really rubbed me the wrong way and at that point I had pretty much made up my mind that I wasn’t going to join this gym.

If you like a lot of classes or a lot of free weights and you don’t really rely on equipment too much, this might not be a bad option for you. Just make sure you don’t get trapped into their sneaky contracts or they don’t try to guilt you into upgrading your plan.

I don't understand why the ratings for WOW Middletown are so bad. I've never had billing issues with them, equipment breaks no matter what gym you go too, and I always see one person at the gym whenever I'm there walking around either vaccuming or wiping equipment down. I love the classes they offer and the babysitting they offer. The xlab classes have helped me get in better shape and I always see people utilizing the new areas they have designed.

Agree that Middletown is the armpit. Wipe down towels, tissues, ear cleaners lay on the ground for many days. The bin in the TRX area has never been cleaned in 3 years. There are hairs all over the floors. The new equipment and revamp took 5 months. The old equipment is better. I lost 4 machines from my workout. No variation in new equipment and nobody uses the huge AstroTurf section.
The staff are not managed. The music is at club level. They lie if you try to get them to turn it down.
Equipment is never put away - mats, balls, weights are all over the place or missing.
I placed great trust in the renovations. I am out of here after 3 years.

The armpit of the chain. Over the last few years they have only taken away key features and equipment culminating with the latest. They removed key leg equipment in favor of an AstroTurf Crossfit area that is ill equipped. Shake bar gone. And they expect that we will pay the same for less. Awful. I now go to the far superior Powerhouse in Old Bridge. It's worth the drive. Retro fitness is far superior.

I joined WoW several years ago. Despite an issue with one of their personal trainers in my 1st month of membership (wasn't interested in this option but they offered a free w/o session when I joined. The trainer cancelled twice so I gave up) I've always liked coming to this gym. If a machine goes down, it's never for long. The equipment is up-to-date and it's well maintained. Unfortunately, I cancelled this week. After returning for my first workout after surgery, I find the cardio theater room gone! I don't take classes, I don't do free weights. While I'm sure they had a good reason for eliminating it, with other gym options out there, the main reason I stayed with WoW was knowing I could walk in, jump on a machine in the theater room where it was cool, quiet and free of distractions. I'll be looking elsewhere now. Very disappointed.

The only way to block them from charging your debit and credit card automatically after you have formally cancelled your membership is to: 1. Debit card- call bank and cancel the old debit and and bank will furnish a new debit card with new account numbers. Make sure you inform other agencies (not WOW) that you have a new acct number that you do direct auto payment with. This way WOW will not deduct monthly fees anymore. 2. Credit Card- inform credit card company to block WOW or have a new card issued.
This worked.

My wife and I have been members at WOW Middletown NJ off and on since 2004, and they still have a lot of the same equipment. They charge a yearly fee of about $50 for new equipment and upkeep, but they rarely get anything new or make any improvements to the gym, including the locker room. The equipment, facilities and locker rooms are not clean. BROKEN equipment is rarely fixed in a timely manner and I noticed a lot of safety issues. Despite reporting these issues, they were not adequately addressed. There is no pool or other amenities that warrant what they charge, which is the same or more than newer, larger fitness clubs. Keep in mind their basic membership does not allow you to attend classes or share privileges with other WOW locations. Worst of all is the HORRIBLE customer service. It is very difficult to get any matters resolved, including cancelation. They do not listen to any concerns and are not flexible or understanding. It's apparent that it is all about sales in every aspect, including personal trainers, while WOW spends as little as possible to reinvest in the club and provide more value for its members. There are several complaints about this club on the BBB website. We are officially done with this club and would not recommend it to anyone.

In order to cancel your membership, you have to send them a registered letter, which means physically going to the post office and standing in line. This policy is of course designed such that you don't want to bother with it, which should give you an idea as to how they run their business.
