I had a very disappointing experience with Far Hills Fitness and the owner, Bogdan.
When I first visited, I was put through a workout that was extremely high intensity but poorly programmed. Before starting, there was no discussion about my background, routine, or potential injuries. The workout involved repetitive overuse movements (including 160 tricep pulls with minimal rest), which left me with a tricep strain that lasted over a week.
Despite this, I still stepped in to help the studio while another trainer was away, covering a few sessions and even providing complimentary stretches to some clients to contribute positively. Unfortunately, after that initial period, communication from the owner stopped entirely. My texts following up about both next steps and payment for sessions I had already completed were read but ignored. It has now been a month, and I still have not been paid or given any explanation.
This experience felt unprofessional and disrespectful. I cannot recommend this studio given the lack of safety considerations in training and the failure to honor basic professionalism like communication and payment.

Had two delicious chocolate covered bananas this last weekend! Managing weight and good health doesn’t require total denial of delicious foods. I’ve heard plenty of stories of you devouring pizzas. Not only have I lost over 27lbs - without your unpleasant attitude - but I also discovered that my weight was completely unrelated to lifestyle or discipline but a medical condition requiring a full hysterectomy. My family (3 of us) and I have been thrilled with our trainers right down the street! Nothing ostentatious - no Hummers under the guise of business vehicles - just old fashioned working out.

Found this place after letting myself go for too long. Bogdan, the man/owner/trainer and the gym, itself, is phenomenal. My customized sessions are efficient and REALLY effective. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and Bogdan helped me. He has been generous with his time, guidance and listening to what will help me achieve my goals. It is always fun, too, to see friends here that I never knew attended! Also, this is the cleanest, well laid-out gym that I have attended. Worth every trip and every dollar.

The workouts are exceptional and each session is thoughtfully crafted to keep you engaged, motivated and constantly progressing towards your goals. The trainers are what make FAR HILLS FITNESS #1 . Dedicated, knowledgeable and genuine passion for helping others achieve their fitness goals.

Excellent training facility and experience. Clean, well equipped gym and excellent trainers that personalize workouts and motivate individuals to be the best version of themselves. My fitness, mindset and overall health have improved drastically since I started training with this team.

Bogdan has me in the best shape of my life. I have lost 55 pounds over the past one year with Bogdan while adding muscle mass. His 30 minute workouts are Extremely efficient and get the job done!

Bogdan and his team are top fitness professionals.I challenge anyone to find a more difficult but totally custom workout anywhere. Been here 3 months and have had many more gains after years of Orange Theory and other personal trainers. The facility is stunningly designed, super clean and has state of the art equipment. The massage gun at end of workout, complimentary bottled water and towels (both dry and cold/wet) make me look forward to my early morning workouts with Bogdan. Highly recommend!

I go religiously and always have an outstanding experience. i have been a member for three plus years and would never go anywhere else! It’s the perfect combo of whole body workout and Bogdan really understands plyometrics, kinetics and mind/body wellness! It’s also a beautiful facility. Highly recommend!
