I was a member of Retro Fitness for almost 10 years and assumed that’s how all gyms were; bros being bros, cardio bunnies galore, cliques and the “normies” like me… and it was enough to make me think I was doing the best for myself in terms of fitness. There were a few glimpses in time where I’d try other gyms in the area for a few months, but it was the same vibes no matter where I went and eventually cancel my membership and continue my RF membership.Enter RWJ fitness. I finally had the courage to say to myself, “Yes the price IS worth it.” And by making that investment, I’ve truly found a gym that feels like home. I’ve been a member for almost 6 months now and I’m in the best shape of my life. I don’t feel intimidated going there and trying new things. The staff is always so friendly. It’s clean and everyone is respectful. RWJ makes me EXCITED to work out; it no longer feels like a chore. I am so happy to have finally found a gym that makes me feel good, to finally feel STRONG, and to look forward to each day.

Update: the GM did call and let me know they would be refunding me and further training the employee I interacted with.Very saddened by the experience I had when trying to be refunded for charges for the gym usage that I had no idea were being charged. This was unequivocally the most stressful experience with this gym in the last decade that I was a member. When I feel safe using a gym again, I will be certain to avoid this facility. Their apparent goal is to challenge and question your integrity.

Great place to workout. Clean environment.

I love this place. The facilities, classes and trainers are all first rate. And the muscle heads are kind and pleasant to an 80-year-old woman!😊

This is my ideal gym. The facilities are excellent. Beyond clean is a must for me in a semi-public facility. You can count on cleanliness here. The gym and aquatic areas are never too crowded for a comfortable and relaxing workout. Salt-water pools and jacuzzi are wonderful, cuts the chlorine smells. Wonderful staff, usually on the ball. We are all human and sometimes we have to be patient with others, right? I wish the yoga studio was better located. Its hard to fuse mind and body with a hip hop dance class from the next studio booming in you heard during downward facing dog.

Clean and spacious. Group fitness instructors are terrific, and personal trainers do a great job. Ive been member for many years and appreciate what it has to offer. Yes, a bit more for membership, but bottom line you do get what you pay for. Thanks RWJ!

This place saved my life. I have fibromyalgia and gentle exercise in their warm, therapeutic pool is incredibly helpful. Facilities are clean. Nice hot tub, sauna and steam room. The staff is very friendly and generous and so are the members. If not for this gym, my pain levels would be unbearable. Thanks, RWJ, for being one of my angels.

Alvin Sutton is the person you need to see. He is so nice to me and my wife. He is the best counselor there. He will help you with all your needs. If your looking for a center thats non judgmental this the place for you. Personal training is included as well as 3 pools and steam room. Is big enough 55,000 square feet so you wont have to be crowed like other gyms. I love it here!!!!!

This is the best gym ever! Clean, spacious, a variety of awesome classes, amazing trainers and instructors, all very good workouts for losing weight and staying healthy! I just took Zumba with Jenna! It was fun, high impact, upbeat and she is very sweet and gives a good workout! I recommend her Zumba and Pound Class!

Management here is the absolute worst. Dont waste your money.I have been a member here for years, had a personal trainer for a while (who was awesome) and I kept my membership because its close to my house and does what I need.ALTHOUGH, this negative review is solely based on management as they are the reason I am canceling. My credit card was stolen back in January, and once I received my new card I went in immediately to update my account. The girl at the desk was having some issues updating it but in the end told me Im good to go, its all updated. WRONG. She didnt update my account, and now I am being told I owe $200+ and fees for declined payments. NOT MY FAULT. Management has not responded to my multiple calls and voicemails, I send emails- nothing. They are rude and have zero customer service capabilities. I called this morning to be told member services is really busy, I have to take a message. That was the last straw, Im done. There are way better and cheaper options around with staff that care about their customers. Ill take my business elsewhere.

The worst trainers in the world! Ive never seen a senior woman load 800 lbs on a leg press before I came to this place. The problem She cant press it more three inches down instead of the full two foot drop. Yes Dennis! Im talking about you.The rest of the trainers are 25% body fat or worse. Why would an moron pay for trainers that are fat? College degrees and online certifications will never trump experience and hard work. PERIOD!I pay $70 dollars a month for a gym that wont clean up the weights and handle certain individuals that destroy the gym.I have brought 10 people to that gym on referral and will taking them all with me when I leave. The management is incompetent as one of my referrals took over an hour to get into the gym on a guest pass. They wonder why they are going belly up in the near future. Ill be buying this place out when it inevitably collapses like the Soviet Union.Im going to LA fitness around the corner where 80% of their clientele around flocked to. The equipment is better and more plentifully LA.

I love the gym, they are reasonably priced when you figure in all the classes, and included meetings with trainers every 6 weeks and on staff nurses quarterly. They also offer an extensive Kids fitness program for a great price (also open to non-members) My daughter loves the classes. My only complaint is that they charge for everything else. Pilates Reformer, Small Group Classes, etc. There are some things Id love to do, but the cost of the extras on top of the gym membership is prohibitive.

Very unprofessional, poor communication, Day 1, they make you register on line for a class you arrive early / no 1 at the front desk / not even management could tell you where the instructor was, after 20 minutes we discover on our own that the class was being held outside 😡

I had the pleasure of speaking to Mr. Marty Reidy via telephone and then in person regarding my interest in a membership at RWJ Rahway Fitness & Wellness Center located in Scotch Plains, New Jersey. He is very friendly and easy to speak with. He patiently answered all of my questions and invited me to come to the facility to take a complete tour. I met trainers and other medical personnel that are staffed around the clock. This center is huge and has something for everyone! I also met the very friendly Hollie R. and John Shell who are part of the front desk reception area staff. The building is clean, safe and well monitored. Thank you Mr. Reidy for signing me up for membership. You are the consummate professional and I appreciate the hard work that you do daily to ensure that all of your members are satisfied! Yes, I joined! : )

There is no doubt that the equipment is excellent and the pool and whirlpool is well maintained but when my jacket was stolen I decided to leave. I considered L.A Fitness but their reviews were awful and I squashed that alternative. Maybe it is the Chrome section of Carteret the gym is located in

Omg they are terrible, only care about taking no your money. Horrible people horrible costumer service. I’m ending my mership with them ASAP. I’ve never ever been so disappointed. Facility looks nice but don’t be fooled by the looks, even after membership fees they will take more money from you with a lot of other things.

I like almost everything about this gym (pool, plenty of classes, big variety of exercise machines and child care), except the music LOLWhoever is in charge of that, sometimes forgets its a gym and it needs up tempo music... And I lost 32 lbs. in 100 days so far.

Outstanding gym. Price is high but when you have the luxuries that they offer then the price is justifiable.

Im the type of person who doesnt enjoy working out, especially in a gym because it generally makes me self conscious, but I love RWJ. I do not feel judged by anyone there, the facility is always clean, and the people are kind and friendly.

It is great place for private swim lessons for kids.We love it.

Avoid at all costs. Lied about their policies and then continued to charge me after I cancelled my membership. Completely dishonest staff.

Awesome gym. everyone is very nice. expensive but it is so worth it. the gym is always clean and the staff are always helpful the pool is great. and having a nurse on staff is a great bonus. the workout equipment is up to date and can accomodate any size athlete. i was a larger person and i never had an issue finding a machine to fit my size. i am still a big guy but me and my wife are working on it. just hit my 100lb loss and im greatful to RWJ and the staff. A+ in my rating scale.

The place has a lot of equipment and usually isnt too crowded but is extremely expensive. I found cheaper gyms offering similar equipment in the area.

- There is no flexibility for members who do not take advantage of all gym offerings. I only use the gym on my days off and weekends. However, Im being charged $65 per month; stopping that today!- When I called to cancel, I was told we do not do cancelations by phone.- The phones are constantly busy since RWJ only publish one phone number- RWJ is no better than any other gym when it comes to the bottom line; money, theyre too expensive.

Without regret, i am forced to reduce the rating on this gym due to mgmt. I have been a member for several years and chose to cancel a week ago. As a thank you, i am forced to pay for an additional month despite giving 3 weeks notice. I was also forced to come in and fill out paper work to cancel. (Other gyms allow this to take place online or the phone). Then, as if i havent lost enough of my time, im am forced to sit there and be questioned by the General Manager in a condescending manner. I was asked why i was leaving. I explained i am using my companys gym. She felt the need to tell me about what other people usually dont do. People also usually dont come to any gym. She didnt even want to know what they could do better or if there was anything that could make me stay. This type of conversation would have been much more acceptable and professional, especially since Im forced to have a sit down. I dont need you to act like you care about my well being, but dont waiste my time and money. This was not a cheap investment. The 300+ sign on fee with their joke of a fitness exam, should have been sufficient enough to earn a respectful dismissal. I did enjoy my experience with Alecia, training with Rimoun, and spin class with Tom (despite their lack of proper cooling, another miss thanks to mgmt ). They really messed up with this. If I did decide to return to another gym, it wouldnt be here.

Large space, big selection of exercise machines, big pool, small pool (warmer water), jacuzzi, steam room, dry sauna. Clean. Friendly staff.

No more than two stars for the price, the service is like any other that charge less than half. The trainers are unfriendly unless you go for paid classes..over all i wouldnt pay doublr that of LA fitness and expect this service. I will discontinue.

Amazing facility. Everything good so far.

Just love the class options and the pool!

Expensive but, clean nice modern and awesome aquatic center make it worth the fee.

This place gives out free 1 week passes but doesnt allow you to use them!

LOV IT HERE

Great Club
