I have belonged to this gym for 3 years.I love it here. The atmosphere is friendly and like family. And for all the year of Covid,( sigh) except for a few mandatory months, it was open. And it is PRISTINE and has been pristine. So clean,every inch of it. And it smells so nice! Bravo NMFA!! Keep up the good work! And the classes are great! Esp Lisa Lees classes, Zumba and Yoga !!

What an amazing swim lesson experience we had this summer! We started with a fearful, crying child in the pool and watched the transformation to a happy and joyful swimming child. Ms. Jean, Jack and Emma are talented and gifted instructors that created lessons that mixed lifesaving techniques with fun in the pool. I couldn’t be more pleased!

This local gym is amazing! Indoor lap pool, squash/racket ball, spin classes, yoga/pilates, weights and cardio equipment, and the staff is awesome! I highly recommend taking advantage of all they have to offer.

The effort that the owners and staff take to maintain the cleanliness and safety standards here is well beyond any other club Ive seen. And this was the case BEFORE COVID. Theres something for every fitness level and every goal. Throw in the racquetball courts and swimming pools and no area club can compare.

I went to this gym for a few months but quite honestly the price is outrageous for what you get. You can go the Edge, Club 24, and literally any other private gym in the area for more than half the price.There is no justification for it seeing as how the equipment is dated, place is crowded, and you cant even use any of the amenities.Seriously dont waste your money.

Poor leadership and no accountability. Also, no military vet discounts at a “community” gym in this day and age? 6 years of membership and in response to my previous review not even a single apology lol. Best of luck.

Like many, I was hesitant about rejoining a gym during these chaotic times. I couldnt be more secure and confident in my choice of gyms having rejoined NMFAC. Ive never worked out in a CLEANER environment...ever! One of the owners runs his own cleaning service! I didnt know that. The place is spotless and I can tell that the staff cares about me as much as they do about providing the best and healthiest environment to work out in. The staff is friendly, professional, knowledgable, accessible and extremely helpful too. They make everyone feel welcome and comfortable....all levels of fitness are respected and supported too, which is awesome for my fitness family and home away from home! Highly recommend this gym.

It was great to go into a gym that was clean, spacious, has tons of fitness machines, an abundance of free weights (not needed to scour the gym for plates), and a nice hot tub. They have tons of other stuff, but I havent used them so I dont want to comment on them.

I was a member of this gym for SIX years. Thats since 2015. I joined despite the $70 exorbitant monthly fee because I believe in supporting local businesses; when the gym was closed and subsequently reopened, I was first in line to renew my membership. And while I do appreciate the front desk workers and the maintenance staff (the sole reason for the three stars Im giving this joint), all of whom are wonderful, I would be remiss to not leave a review detailing my disappointment with the ownership.In the whole 72+ month period I was a member, the owner and his wife Sue may have spoken to me a total of four times? MAYBE? Despite having taken your spin classes, bringing four new members to your gym, consistently purchasing shakes and protein drinks (again, overpriced) from the front desk, and being a quiet and respectful member, I was never greeted, never made to feel a part of the community I was attempting to support.When Covid happened, I stayed (despite the high membership cost which was NOT reduced even though half the gym was closed down), again choosing and wanting to support small local businesses. I received emails asking that I purchase clothing from the front desk because they were struggling.Fast forward to today: I am approached for the FIRST time by the owner, who apparently shows up randomly to mask-police the dated equipment room. I was puzzled. Is this guy asking me to pull my mask up? I pulled my headphones out and sure enough, I was being scolded. PAUSE. I have never spoken to you bro! You have never spoken to me. You were unfriendly and abrasive in your approach to me, unwilling to listen when I then launched into my issues with your outrageous prices and mask policing when there are multiple other gyms within twenty minutes that have no such mask policy and cost FAR less, and overall just a rude dude.The owners response? (I still dont know the dudes name...) Adios! See ya! Leave! as he gestures me out the door. ???????Needless to say, this dude will not receive a penny more of my money. Hoping that gigantic sign you have out in the parking lot wishing your wife a happy birthday wasnt purchased using the funds you extorted from your community when you were begging people to buy cheap a$$ sweatpants from you. lol. Maybe its just a gym for old people since thats 90% of their demographic, and they dont seem interested in attempting to change that. Good riddance buddy.02/10/21 - In response to the owners response - I could care less about the mask policy. I respected it and continue to at my new gym. My issue lies with the approach, the overall civility of management, and the tone in which I was spoken to. No one complained to him about my mask falling off my nose WHILE I was benching 215 pounds. Give me a frickin break dude. lol. I was barely off the bench before your fellow owner was reprimanding me. He walks around looking for reasons to nitpick the people he doesnt speak to or like. Period.All that rambling on and yet not a single apology for Pereiras behavior. Also, to advertise that the gym is functioning as normal except for the steam room and hot tub is ludicrous. Classes are far more difficult to enroll in, the steam room wasnt running for months even BEFORE Covid, and the equipment, like most of your members, is dated. Reevaluate your monthly fee. OH! And you guys dont honor military discounts. That alone is really all that needs to be said. Pathetic excuse for a community gym. Funny, you say I cancelled January 1st, and I did. I also explained why I was cancelling. You had, by your own admission, a month to approach me and explain, try to win me back. Nothing. So, your explanation makes zero sense. Best of luck to you and yours.

I have been loving being back at the gym! NMFAC has done an amazing job inside to accommodate the COVID19 restrictions now in place. It is CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN with hand sanitizer and wipes always in your reach. Classes have been amazing. All the equipment is cleaned after use. I feel safe there and when it comes to working out, theres no place you feel more motivated than the gym. Thank you to all the employees for opening it up so we can enjoy it again!

My wife and I were on vacation from London and we needed a fitness centre in the new Milford area. NM Fitness were the only one who would accommodate us for two weeks. The team were very helpful and flexible. Rachael and the front desk team made us feel welcome and made sure we got the most out of the visits. The classes are led by very competent and friendly instructors and the atmosphere is relaxed for all ages. Thanks for making our vacation a little more special . Ian

I joined the gym about a month ago and I love that place! I am a big fan of HIT exercise and classes that I take are right up to my liking. You can go all out or have a modified way. Locker rooms are clean and have everything you need. Steam room/sauna as well! Staff is great. I love Zumba with Brenda/Tabata with Aaron and Boxing/Boot camp with Lisa. Highly recommend!

Of the 6 gyms ive been a member of none compares to this one. It is stocked with bodybuilding/powerlifting equipment that I have never been able to find anywhere else. For powerlifting they have rouge multi grip and safety squat bars along with a reverse hyper machine and a plate loader for deadlifts. For bodybuilding they have a wider variety of machines than I have ever seen, at least three variations for any major muscle group along with a shrug machine, a calf machine and anything you could possibly want. They have two fixed flat benches, one fixed incline, and a fixed decline, along with three power racks, two cable crosses, and two full sets of dumbbells 5-110lbs. This is a fantastic gym.

THIS GYM IS AMAZING!! I love how friendly everyone is especially the staff! It is an incredible place to also take classes such as body bump, spin, and boxing with many more to choose from. Even after working out the gym offers a sauna and a steam room which I really love! Gives you time to destress and it relaxes you. I highly recommend signing up for this gym!

Came to work out here while visiting my parents. They have an awesome weekly deal, plenty of machines and weights. I have been coming here since high school and its one of my favorite weight rooms. All the staff was super friendly. Plenty of towels, very clean. Next time I visit I will definitely get another week pass.

Ive been a member from when they re-opened and long before prior management almost bankrupted the place.I joined another health club in New Milford when this place first closed. It too was clean and staff were very friendly. But, it was much too crowded and very noisy, with one person working out next to someone else.NMFAC.is immaculate with staff cleaning all of the time. The ocker rooms and showers are always clean. The equipment is always well-maintained. Members are friendly and theres never a wait for the machine you want to use. If theres anything the staff can do for you, they do it. Well worth the membership fee. Worth a visit and looking into this outstanding health club.

After 36 years in the landscape business, my body does not feel like it used to. I love attending Sandys and Ericas yoga classes 3-5 times a week and I feel so much better. The strength and stretch classes have been great! My aches and pains are slowly disappearing and I feel so much more relaxed the days I take a class. Overall, the staff is super friendly, the gym is clean and has plenty of amenities.

I have been a member for about a year and a half now. This gym has everything: pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, weight machines, free weight room, boxing equipment, rowing, elliptical machines and treadmills aplenty. It also has the kindest, most knowledgeable, supportive, and helpful staff and trainers around. Did I mention the WIDE variety of classes (my favorites-body pump, barre and fusion, and zumba) and *sparkling clean* facilities? I have lost 45 pounds since joining and although I have more to go, I feel in good hands with such a supportive community.

The gym is really nice, sometimes a little busy but that’s okay. The only complaint I have is that the gym closes super early in the day, so if you have a late schedule.

Sandy is the ‘Bomb! Mariella and I have been taking Yoga for fifteen years. She is the best instructor we have ever had. Each class is researched, different, exciting and her enthusiasm is present all of the time.

Review №27

They say I wasnt polite when I asked to drop a family member from my plain. Guess I didnt say please, but I didnt say please take my money either and they didnt have a problem doing that. I see they didnt lose the attitude before their scandals and closing due to many arrest. Since the arreste and closing, they lost most of their equipment. Which I guess they are billing as much and what ever they can try to get. Well polite or not its my money and they cant have it. So happy I didnt pay for the year. I am so lucky with they way things turned out.

This gym might have a couple problems here and there, but all and all its a good place to get a workout in. Theyve got a stellar weight room complete with all the cardio machines you could possible dream of. Theyve even got a pool and a hot tub. Normally, there arent many people in the pool. Its a great place to go.

The Club in New Milford has re-opened with new owners and management as the New Milford Fitness and Aquatic Club! If you were previously a member and havent been back or never a member but looking for a health club- you need to stop by for a tour! As a long time member, many of us were very disappointed and frustrated with the previous management and the deterioration of the facility preceding its closing earlier this year. Well...under the new owners, the NMFAC has reopened better than ever! The facility looks great, the equipment is in excellent condition, a great variety of classes are up and running and most importantly the staff and management are awesome!

Great, friendly new ownership. Good facilities for both powerlifting (multiple squat racks, bounce plates, multiple benches...)and cardio. Would be cool if they had more strongman style equipment. Best gym I’ve tried in New Milford/Brookfield.

Great gym but it is expensive and not being able to bring a guest even on the weekends (unless they pay a $20 fee) is discouraging.
