“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars — Live Fit Old Tappan

After several attempts to commit to getting back in shape, I finally walked into Live Fit in Old Tappan and John’s first words were simply, “Finally.” It felt like he had been waiting for me all along.

Starting again at 60+, out of shape, overweight, and dealing with everyday aches and pains wasn’t easy. But for the first time, I’m making time for myself and I’m so glad I did.

The vibe here is incredible a true old-school guys’ gym feel with great energy. Everyone is welcoming and supportive. John, Tony, and Lucas are fantastic, and we can’t forget Daisy, who adds her own charm to the place.

My early morning sessions are intense, full-body workouts that push me in the best way. I told John my goal was simple, I just want one ab muscle! Knowing him, I might end up with a full six-pack. He truly understands the body, incorporates great stretches, and somehow makes me walk out feeling years younger. A miracle worker.

Beyond the workout, it’s also an hour of great conversation, music, laughter, “name that tune,” and John’s legendary storytelling. Honestly, I hate when the session ends… but life goes on until the next one.

If you’re thinking about starting no matter your age or shape, just walk in. You won’t regret it.“

“Everybody at Spectrum Physical Therapy is terrific. The establishment is clean comfortable and relaxed. Mike, Greg and all of the assistants are kind, sincere, understanding, knowledgeable and really listen to u . They are always checking on you while u do your exercises. I highly recommend Spectrum .“

“Prior to coming to Ethos PT, I spent 5 years trying to fix my lower back and hip pain. I saw at least three doctors and worked with a few different physical therapists. Nothing brought relief. And then, only after a few sessions with John, I was pain free. It was nothing short of a miracle. At 53, I am back to enjoying my favorite physical activities, like pickleball and skiing. My favorite part about working with John is that he helps me to build an effortless daily exercise routine that doesn’t add stress to my life, but helps me feel in control and add fun to my mornings. Highly recommend Ethos PT to everyone who wants to fully enjoy life at middle age and beyond.“

“I love F45 North Paramus! Michelle is the best and I love that there’s a convenient class time for me after work at 5:30.“

“I arrived at the back care center broken , only a fraction of what I know could be possible . I have completed my first month of the program tailored specifically to my needs . I cannot believe the difference in how I navigate my day now . I no longer have to adjust how I sit , or lie awake at night with frustrating lower back pain. All thanks to Dr.Schwartz and his team (Including the in-house massage therapist) Courtney , they are truly amazing .A dream team , if you will . I am thrilled to continue my program and experience the results . Don’t think too long about it, book the appointment.“

“I took a restorative yoga class, and it was exactly what I needed.
The space was so welcoming and calming, and I was able to experience a deep level of relaxation that I had been missing. With the stress of daily life, I hadn’t been able to take a moment to truly rest and heal—but this class allowed me to reconnect with myself and feel completely refreshed.
Highly, highly recommend!
I’m already looking forward to taking another class next month“

“Coach Jeremy Pushes me to my physical limits and does a great job keeping every workout challenging.“

“UTG has been life changing for me. I bounced around to big box gyms for most of my 30’s. None ever took. It wasn’t until I found UTG, that I’ve actually enjoyed working out and saw results. The dedication of the trainers is next level. I work with Pat mainly in the mornings, he’s one of the most knowledgeable wellness practitioner's I’ve ever met. His attention to detail ensures I can’t slack off during my workout which is what I need. He keeps me accountable, even when I’m traveling, he makes sure I’m getting my workout in. Timmy is phenomenal as well, I just don’t get as much time with him as our schedules conflict. Tamir is the go-to for nutrition, his strict, direct guidance has helped me lose those stubborn lbs, when nothing else worked. Overall UTG is the best. I’m thankful for the people, the program and the community it fosters. I would recommend to anyone.“

“Awesome facility! Everyone is so friendly and the training is incredible. Have been going for about 7 months and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. My trainer Ben is extremely knowledgeable and continues to drive me to reach my goals. You won’t be disappointed if you stop by for a session!“

“one of the best gym i went to clean quite organized overall really good gym the lighting is great too“

“Matt is a highly knowledgeable and personable personal trainer. When I began my weight loss and fitness journey, I had no idea where or how to start, so choosing The Fitness Academy for guidance was truly a life-altering decision. Matt was incredibly encouraging during challenging moments and kept me going even when I didn’t think I could.

With his support, I lost 60 pounds and surpassed a personal goal of fitting into a jacket I had purchased. What sets Matt apart is that he makes the experience relatable. He understands that we’re human and can’t be perfect all the time. He takes the time to understand how each client and their body works, tailoring individualized plans to meet their needs. He also considers each client’s personality to create sessions that genuinely work for them.

Matt makes himself available outside the studio if you have questions or need accountability, which made a huge difference for me. He taught me everything I know, and I didn’t truly realize how strong I had become until I stopped working out. If you feel stuck, unsure about fitness, or need extra guidance to reach your goals, you will not regret your decision to start at The Fitness Academy.“

“Martin Has to be one of the most down-to-earth And easiest instructors that I’ve ever dealt with. Being my first time doing CrossFit he was very informative and patient while working with me on form and precision while doing certain movements to ensure I do not hurt my lower back, which I have issues with. Highly recommend definitely worth the money.“

“I enjoy working out at Kaeos Fitness. The trainers are professionals in their field, providing personalized guidance that yields maximum results in minimal time.“

“Excellent gym for people who want to get in shape, feel healthier, and meet great people that support your journey and encourage you daily. Stephanie and Kathy are phenomenal trainers that love helping you reach your personal goal with weights, cardio, and lots of other styles and techniques. I never joined a gym in my life, and they made it less intimidating and actually fun. Highly recommend!!“

“We’ve had a wonderful experience with Chon-Ji Academy! Our 7-year-old son now 8 absolutely loves going to class — he’s always excited and full of energy when it’s time for training. The instructors are patient, kind, and encouraging, while still teaching discipline and respect. We’ve seen big improvements in his focus at, confidence, and listening skills — his teacher even mentioned it! While he still gets distracted at home sometimes (as kids do ?) The environment is very family-friendly and positive, and they truly care about each student. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a great martial arts program for kids!“

“It can get packed on Wednesdays but despite this, I can always manage to find parking nearby in the lot. The place is generally clean and well maintained. Only gripe I would have is that traffic can be quite congested on Route 59 from Nanuet heading to the location in Spring Valley.“

“Joanne is the best personal trainer . Her knowledge for helping you healing from injuries it’s really good. She is very caring person and cares a lot for her clients and goes above and beyond for you for whatever you are struggling at the moment. I would definitely recommend anyone to see her you won’t regret it“

“BEAUTIFUL WOMEN NEED TO FIX THE WI FI AND BROKEN MACHINES NEED TO BE FIXED FASTER. PLEASE OPEN THOSE DAMN STAIRS INFRONT THE GYM“

“I have been working out with Ben since 2017 and it has been such a transformative experience. He’s so versatile and helped me work through recovery post traumatic delivery in 2021 and get back to a strong me. I can’t say good enough things about Rivertowns!“

“The best training group class, the variety of equipments is incredibly helpful, super clean and luxurious ?? the Best Gym in NJ the best trainers !“

“Alessandro is the best! I have had chronic hip pain for years that went away after working with Alessandro. He is extremely knowledgeable! What sets him apart is that he gives his classes exercises that are functional and healing for the body. I cannot recommend him enough!!“

“I've been going here for a little over 2 years. Carlos is amazing to work with. He always varies up the exercises so you don't get bored. He holds you accountable and pushes you to your limit, while also keeping any injuries in mind. Highly recommend.“

“I have been working with Shane for several months. He has helped me both physically and mentally. Working from home has a price. Less movement less interaction with good people. Shane is one of the good ones. Feel stronger. Less tired. And that's a lot in your 50's. Prices are reasonable. Always checks in after tough work outs. The other staff members. ...encouraging and their clients seem as challenged and satisfied as I am. Keep it going. Last set. Best set.“

“Juno is a passionate, detailed oriented, and flexible trainer. I have been training with Juno for almost a year now, and it has been a joy working with him. My initial goal was to lose some weight and tone my muscles, but soon after, I realized I preferred weight training. Juno attended to my feedback, was responsive to my change of goals, and personalized my training plan according to my needs. On a personal level, Juno is passionate about his career, motivated to keep learning, and self-disciplined. 100% recommend.“

“Amazing experience. Eve has worked with me on injuries to different body parts (back and knee), and got me rehabbed through 2 knee surgeries. Love her attention to detail.

Highly recommend“

“Coach Lee is truly exceptional. She’s more than just a trainer—she’s a dedicated mentor who brings wisdom and inspiration to every session. Drawing on the expertise of Dr. Kang, she strives to improve our overall health and well-being. Coach Lee emphasizes the fundamentals, paying close attention to individual muscles and teaching us how to connect with our bodies in profound ways.

Through her guidance, I’ve learned to communicate with my muscles, gaining a deeper awareness of how my body moves. Her training has not only transformed my posture and muscle coordination but has even added a couple of inches to my height! Coach Lee’s methods activate not just your muscles but also your mind, empowering you to reach your full potential every day.“
