All of the facilities are amazing and the staff are super nice! They also offer tons of classes but I haven’t taken any yet. Definitely worth the $40/$50 a month!

I will say though men beware, the locker room nudity is 10x worse here than any other gym I’ve been to. They actually did warn me about this when I was signing up but it’s truly something LOL. Not sure if there’s anything the gym can do about that but it’d be nice. Only other complaint I have is that the elevators from the parking deck are kinda iffy, you have to mash the buttons like 5 times for them to work.

All in all though amazing gym!

I’ve been coming to RWJ Fitness Gym for a while now, and I can definitely see the potential this gym has. They’ve recently added a lot of new machines, which is great to see. However, I do have a few suggestions for improvement.

First, the ropes for the cable machines should be replaced more frequently, as they’re showing wear and tear even though they were recently replaced. It would also be helpful if the leg press area had some sort of tint or film on the windows, as the sun can be blinding during workouts. Additionally, more mirrors would be a great addition to help with checking form—something I hope they consider in the future.

On the positive side, the gym is pretty clean, and I appreciate that there’s access to water. It would also be nice to have tissues available throughout the gym—just a suggestion! Overall, it’s a solid gym with room to grow, and I look forward to seeing future improvements.

I had an experience where i was charged for service never received and it was a big headache to get it back because it seemed like nobody really cared about fixing the issue and everyone would say they would find a solution and get back to me but never would. Overall it was a very unpleasant experience and i feel like management could do a better job in taking care of their members. I do have to give a big thank you to Linda, their regional manager as she quickly fixed the issue the second she was notified and actually made me feel like i was being heard and not brushed off. Thank you Linda

I am disappointed in the swimming lessons that I had signed my daughter up for. I paid for a 16 class package. Although the instructor okay, I felt that it wasn't any insight on her progression. The women's bathroom smells like mildew. The carpet in there needs to changed and don't feel comfortable changing my daughter there. Moreover, it was extremely disorganized. Priyanka was hard to reach and her office was so messy. The registration paperwork was not even filled out until her last class. She said there was a 2 year wait period for an evening or weekend class which just sounds absurd to me. I decided it was no longer a fit for us and ended our classes. I felt it was a waste of time and money and wish I could get a refund. I would not recommend it and will not be returning.

I’ve been going to this gym for the past 3 1/2 months and I’ve always felt I’ve belonged there. There are a lot of great workers that work there and that will take care of what you need They have everything more than an average gym. This gym is on another level.💪🏽

I was sexually assaulted at this gym by a staff member, November 2023. The gym did nothing about it, and the man still was working there. Went to the police and all soon as it happened and went to the gym the following day to report it to them all they said was I’m sorry if that did happen, and gave me a partial refund for that month because I canceled my gym membership clearly soon as it happened. That’s the only gym in the city so now I can’t go to the gym nor do I feel even comfortable being downtown in that area. Ladies beware they do not Properly Vet, the people they hire!!!

I joined here recently and would say it's a pretty nice place. I'm actually not super sure why there are so many negative reviews. They do not make it super apperant, but if you live in NB or work at one of the hospitals the membership is 55 a month. For reference a retrofitness membership for all locations is around 35. I think the increased price is pretty justified given the gym itself. The machines are nice and numerous. They have a combination of hammerstrength, technogym, and kaiser pneumatic machines. Alot of the machines feel good and the pneumatic machines are unique and can provide an exercise stimulus unlike other machines or free weights if used properly. The place is also pretty specious and clean. I so far haven't encountered a ton of waiting and crowding. They also have other amenities such as stretching cages, pools, sauna and steam room, and nice locker room. Maybe if you didn't get the reduced price you'd be more critical, but I'd have to imagine many of these complaints are just vexed or spoiled people.

Edit: I will say one clear con is the lack of being able to bring guests. I know some people who go to lifetime and even at what markets itself as a luxury gym, you can bring people atleast once a month

My experience with personal trainer, Abby A was amazing! Her positive attitude and good energy motivated me throughout our training sessions. She understood what I needed to work on and showed me ways to work on them. I’ve learned so much from her and I definitely recommend her and this gym!!
