I trained there for a little bit when I was living in Bloomfield. I had to get out of Powerhouse in Bloomfield, place is an absolute dump. I live near Totowa now so I am at Gold's which is nice.


Two of my boys are actually Trainer's at Signature- probably the two biggest black trainers in there- I bet you know who I am talking about..lol

When we moved to Dallas we hated it. Even though its a city it was way to slow and annoying

I spent most of my life in hudson and lower bergen county.I had a membership at strong and shapley back in 06. I now have a membership with retro. I currently live in west central new jersey but still spent a lot of time in north east jersey. I like retro cause i love having the option to go to multiple gyms with only buying one membership. I know im bumping an old thresd but i just spotted it....retro has everything you need and so for its never to packed, and so far ive been to several locations there all pretty much similar. i can almost always get on any machine i want right away, plus everything is brand new.....

[Bonaparte]

Good thread. Now I know who and where to avoid. Carry on!

I spent most of my life in hudson and lower bergen county (E. Rutherford) (secaucus) (jersey city) I had a membership at strong and shapley back in 06. I now have a membership with retro. I currently live in west central new jersey but still spent a lot of time in north east jersey, thats where a lot of my friends and family still are. I like retro cause when im home i can go to the fleminton location after work, or greenbrook, or if im spending the night by family, i can go to the secaucus location. i love having the option to go to many gyms with only buying one membership. I know im bumping an old thresd but im also looking for people who are close by me. Most of my friends are not into working out, so finding a partner would be cool....retro has everything you need and so for its never to packed. i can almost always get on any machine i want right away, plus everything is brand new.....feel free to shoot a pm if any more questions

I've actually bought a home at the jersey shore, Belmar area. So now I'm lookin for places and things down in this area lol. There actually is a retro a 2 min drive from my house now. I'm actually checking it out but looking at WOW, work out world, now and it looks like I'll be joining there.

If you want a decent gym join any of the large chains but if what you're looking for is a hardcore bodybuilding gym then strong and shapely is exactly where you want to be. They have A TON of equipment including everything from hammer strength to ridiculous amounts of free weights to a complete line of compressed air machines there. There are a rather large number of competitive bodybuilders there so you can get great advice from some people (the owner of the gym used to compete as well). Strong and Shapely is hands down the best gym I have ever been a member of and I have worked out at LA fitness, Metro fitness, 24 hour fitness, and various athletic facilities at my university

Yup, thats strong and shaply. Its decent, but now with retro around i wouldnt go back there, you cant beat retros prices and there is one in secaucus, only 5 min from rutherford....I workout there sometimes although it is not my home gym.
