Kinetics has a small vegan cafe which also functions as its lobby and waiting area for classes. Two single-occupancy restrooms are located on the far side of the building. I came here for a Yelp event and found the "Anti-gravity Aerial Yoga" experience to be more of a fun gimmick with a hammock rather than anything resembling yoga. If anything, this was a calisthenics class with a prop.

The back of the classroom has suspended black cloth hammocks that need to be raised or lowered based on the student's height. The only reason the hammock sizing was necessary was because of one upside-down maneuver, which the class only did once. The hammock height was based on where each person's waist was, which is not a reliable indicator for the midpoint of a person's body since some people have legs that are longer than their torsos. My hammock ended up being way too high and had to be adjusted a second time midway into the session.

The instructor, Erica Lee-Arnold Rodriguez, began the session with a series of fun but ineffective warmup movements which did very little to prepare me for the rigors that followed. Had I known that there would be no actual stretching in this class, I would have done my own stretching beforehand while I waited in the cramped lobby with the other students. Erica provided individualized attention to the students in my session after she demonstrated each pose, which was appreciated.

The hammock session did feel a bit rushed for a "yoga" class, and the amount of physical stress that was required for some of the poses is not something I would ever associate with even hybrid yoga. I think Aerial Yoga is worth trying once if you've never done it before, but it's not a practical addition to or a realistic replacement for an actual yoga regimen.

Metra is truly amazing and always goes above and beyond when working in our sessions. Working with her has helped with pain management.

Went to Kinetics for their Anti-Gravity class led by Metra and brought a long a group of 4 people. We had an amazing time! Metra was a fantastic instructor, super personable, knowledgable and ensured we got our form right and had fun! It was also smooth and easy process working with Aniyah who was extremely helpful and kind while assisting with booking the class. All of us will definitely be back!

Kinetics is more than a gym, it is a fitness community. Just completed the 6-week challenge and had an incredible experience with the trainers and the team. Everything at kinetics is about being the best you, whatever that means for you and not compared to anyone else. There is the expertise, support, and accountability that help you reach your goals and get fit!

Kinetics is truly a family! Not only have I lost a healthy amount of weight since I joined six months ago, but I’ve also built the skills I need to keep it off. All of the trainers are top notch and knowledgeable, and everyone is friends with each other. The studio also feels like a safe haven for women and non-binary folks who want to work out but feel uncomfortable in a “conventional” gym. There are also accessible online classes for those who feel uncomfortable coming in during the pandemic!

I joined Kinectics in Highland Park, NJ almost 6 years ago and I feel great about my decision to join!! I am happy about everything I am gaining from this fitness environment. The atmosphere is engaging and fun. This wonderful atmosphere can be attributed to the courtesy of staff and awesome, skillful and knowledgeable trainers. I enjoy my exercise “family “ with whom I exercise in group classes. I attend 5/6 classes a week. I also twice a week workout with a personal fitness trainer. While I do classes -limited exercise equipment ( treadmill, bike, weights) are available for my use. I love the variety of group classes including boot camp, TRX training, warm and hot yoga, Ariel yoga and others) that are offered. I like that healthy eating is emphasized! If you are looking for an intimate atmosphere in which to meet your exercise and eating goals I highly recommend giving Kinectics a try. Me - I plan to keep this place for my healthy goals!!!

Kinetics is by far the best personal training studio. It’s not a gym it’s a fitness experience that holds you accountable and provides the most supportive community.

I've been going to Kinetics for more than 3 years now and I look forward to it every time I go. The classes are challenging and varied, always offering a new workout. The trainers are first rate - encouraging, competent and energetic - they really know their stuff! I appreciate the camaraderie, and the community is incredible; all different people coming together to get healthy and have fun. There are so many classes to choose from and the staff works hard to understand what each person needs. Kinetics is the best!

I recently completed the six week challenge at Kinetics and had an amazing experience. I was able to reach my goal with the support and guidance of the staff. The coaching staff and trainers were knowledgeable and professional but most importantly, their encouragement and clear instructions helped me to achieve my desired weight. I received daily support from my trainer and one-on-one support from my coach as needed. I’ve never experienced that level of attention to my needs in a fitness environment. The best part is that i lost 5% body fat and got my original deposit of $349 back. So the progran was essentially FREE! I would absolutely recommend this facility to anyone looking for real results.

I joined as part of their 6 week challenge promo. At my team’s consultation, we were told that the rules for the challenge were that we’d get our $349 deposit back if we followed a point system and completed the requirements. At the end of 6 weeks, the coach told me that I could not get the deposit back bc I had not lost 20 lbs. This was a shock bc no one at the club had said I needed to lose 20 lbs and it was never in writing.

Thankfully I was able to get my deposit back, but I had to argue with the coach for a while. I was very sad bc overall the classes were great and I looked forward to taking more in the future. But I can’t trust a business that tried to cheat me out of $349 and make it seem like it was my fault for not losing enough weight when that was never said to me or my teammates.

If you join through the 6 week challenge make sure to get everything in writing before paying money. If it weren’t for that experience, this would be a very positive review

I can't comment on the classes because I was never able to sign up! I purchased a groupon for this place, for 5 aerial yoga classes. Unfortunately I was injured and I was unable to attend until 2-3 weeks before the groupon expired. It said in the groupon details that I need to call to set up a time for a class. I tried calling several times per day, multiple days, left a voice message (only one, because only one time did it ever even goto voicemail), sent an email - never got a single response. Super, super annoyed because it expires in a couple of days and I was really excited to try, not to mention the money lost.

This is a great place. I have been going to kinetics for 5 years and feel healthier than I did 25 years ago. I used to injure myself working out at other gyms, but at kinetics we figured out it was due to misalignments and posture, and we worked on correcting that. A lot of aches and pains that I had learned to live with are gone!

4 years and still going! Place of encouragement and options without competition. Clients, trainers/instructors and staff all in on doing our best, but stay healthy while doing it.

Look up keywords: TRX + Antigravity. A couple of my favorites. Need adaptations to your workout? This is a group of trainers who welcome respectful interruptions even during class. Want a group workout but you're a quiet type? No frets, just let the instructors know privately and they'll support you.

Not everyone is vocal, but there are some of us who are🙃. Working out can be fun.

Plus there are periodic "challenges". Whether I come many times or a few, I only remember welcoming people. Mention this review if you'd like. I hope it leaves you with thoughts of trying Kinetics.

Kinetics has a fantastic, friendly, and welcoming staff. I just started taking their aerial yoga classes. Definitely a different experience than my other work-outs, but each class is just so much fun. Highly recommend at least giving it a try.

Kinetics was an answer to a prayer after having injured my feet and having to regain my strength. Kinetics team whipped me into shape fast and after a bit I felt very strong was able to achieve my dreams of backpacking in Latin America. Love me some Kinetics!

On May 11, 2013, I ran my first 5K. I was in shape, happy with my body, and after having left my corporate gig a few months earlier, was excited about a career change and what lay ahead. Three days later, on May 14, my dad suffered a strange fall out of bed that left him temporarily paralyzed from the neck down. It was a hard adjustment, even with the eventual blessing of him recovering much of his mobility, to now have to visit him in nursing care and take over responsibilities at home with my mom who has progressive memory issues. I stopped working out, stopped eating well, and the pounds packed on in my stress and worry, as well as substantial hair loss. In 2014, I added financial stress to my life as the result of an ill-fated move to Paris (hit my 401k to do so - - folks DO NOT TOUCH YOUR 401ks - you WILL REGRET IT!) to pursue an MBA only to have to abort that early due to my 3-year old son having some issues getting adjusted and the first terrorist shooting in January 2015. More weight (40+ pounds at this point), more just being totally out of it. Something had to change. I thank God that finally He moved things around in my life so that that change could happen. July 2016 was the start, when I accepted Metra Lundy's little Black Dress 21-Day Challenge and joined Team Kinetics! As the challenge moved on and pounds started to drop, the seeds of my long-held dream to run a marathon by the time I turned 50 began to take shape. Fast forward to April 9th 2017 and I was blessed to complete the Paris Marathon, returning to that beloved city with my son, now 6! Today (May 15, 2017) I turned 50 and I’m back to my fighting weight (all 40 pounds gone!) and feel better than I’ve felt in all my 50 years! I’m so grateful to Team Kinetics for the journey I've been on since walking through those doors last July! This is the BEST, MOST LOVING, MOST SUPPORTIVE Fitness - really LIFE & WHOLENESS - establishment on God's green earth. Getting back into shape, running the marathon, and falling in love with long distance running and warm yoga (their classes are exceptional) would not have been possible without Kinetics. Kinetics was the X factor. No class is ever the same and they know how to make it fun while still kicking your behind with EFFECTIVE workouts. I am forever, and utterly grateful to Metra, and the AMAZING instructors and all my fellow students. You rock!!!
