Trainers near Short Hills

“I can’t say enough good things about my experience with the Short Hills location of JD Fitness. I did their 12 week program and lost 20 lbs (12% of my starting weight) and saw an 8.2% body fat decrease. From day one my coach, Alan (who runs the location), listened to my goals and provided a VERY high level of accountability around my nutrition. My trainer, Michael, worked in tandem with him to design a strength training program.Frankly, it’s been the kind of experience actresses have before a film role. I transformed my body. Even better, I’ve vastly improved the lower back pain that I used to have all the time, and I’m stronger and faster than I’ve been since my early twenties.If you're looking for an excellent, professional team, you cannot do better than this!“

“I have been coming to SLT Short Hills since maybe 2016/18 and I wanted to share why after all these years.

Pilates is having a huge moment right now. There are so many studios popping up everywhere. But my journey started over ten years ago, back when there were barely five studios in all of New Jersey. I still remember a person asking me one day where I lived, then wondering why I drive all this way. My answer was simple even though SLT is a 30 minute drive, I would never compromise the corrections, the energy, and the enthusiasm of the instructors here. They are highly qualified and know exactly how to make sure you are moving correctly.

That matters more than people realize. It is so easy today to be fooled by classes taught by instructors who are not practicing safe, corrective movement. As a business owner and a fitness enthusiast, I have only ever come to SLT for good reason.

The biggest reason I am writing this now is what these past few months have meant to me. After finishing the Boston Marathon and coming off a pretty troubling injury, I used April and May to focus on my fitness outside of running, and that included SLT. What most people do not realize is that during certain injuries, movement is incredibly beneficial. My attendance in class truthfully helped repair my injury and got me back on track toward my running goals and dare I say I am performing better?!

My appreciation for the women of this studio is second to none. They are impressive, vigilant, and completely aligned with my own mindset. I could not be more grateful for everything they have given me, especially these last two months. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

So here is my PSA. Do your homework and know the kind of place you are walking into. For me, that means instructors who are vigilant, trained appropriately, and yes, who like to work hard and sweat for a minute or two haha“

“What an amazing place! Great personal trainers, excellent nutrition programs, and a truly unique fitness community for the area. Tony is an incredible person whose energy, passion, and commitment inspire everyone around him. That positive attitude is reflected throughout the gym, its members, and the broader community.

What stands out most is Tony’s dedication to helping children and young adults with developmental disabilities through specialized fitness and exercise programs. He’s creating opportunities that go far beyond physical fitness by building confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging.

If you are looking for a gym that combines professional coaching with a genuine commitment to making a difference, this is the place. Highly recommend!“

“I’ve been to a variety of different gyms over the years and so I can say with experience that Rebel is something special. Beyond the exceptional programming and support, there is a real sense of community every time you walk through the doors. The training I receive rivals that of a one on one session, but even if I were left entirely to my own devices, I would still come in just for the friendly faces and easy camaraderie.“

“The place is nice and clean. Everyone is very friendly. I sat down with Tyrell who was very knowledgeable and pleasant. He took the time to explain everything to me and Brian was very patient in showing how to use the equipments I needed. Very satisfied with this gym.“

“Been coming here the last several months and love it. Clean and functioning equipment and helpful staff, all you can ask for.“

“This is the first class that has motivated me to wake up at 5:30am to work out. It is fast paced and a good mix of strength and cardio. There are always positive vibes in the studio and I always look forward to coming to f45.“

“I highly recommend F45! Working out with such a supportive community has helped me meet my goals and gain confidence! Everyone is so welcoming, the coaches are helpful and the workouts will kick you butt (in a good way!) if you’re looking for a great gym, this is it!“

“I enjoyed my Saturday morning workout! As a drop-in, it’s always a bit nerve-wracking to visit an unfamiliar place, but Shay and my partner Davika made me feel welcome and helped make it a great experience.“

“I had my first one-on-one Zoom training with Mike today, and I couldn't be more impressed. He took the time to assess my current situation, listen to my concerns, and understand the mobility and flexibility challenges I've been experiencing.

Mike's approach is so different from what I've experienced before. He truly meets you where you are rather than encouraging you to push through pain, and helps you understand how to work with your body using breathing techniques to reduce tension and improve mobility. He shared practical, relatable guidance, and I left our session feeling more confident and hopeful. If you're looking for a thoughtful, individualized approach to movement and mobility, I highly recommend Mike Romano.“

“I’ve had a great experience at LA Fitness. The gym is clean, the staff is friendly, and there’s always enough equipment for me to get a solid workout in. The atmosphere keeps me motivated, and I always leave feeling like I got better. Definitely recommend!“

You will be challenged in ways you never imagined, and you will surprise yourself in just how capable you are! Go for a free class and you will see for yourself!“

“Been working out here about a year and I have to say this is my favorite gym I've ever been too all the machines have a ton of adjustability and the atmosphere is on another level“

“I joined Fitness Inc because I was dealing with back pain and needed a studio that could accommodate and modify based on my needs. They not only delivered, but I now feel stronger than ever and confident lifting weights—something I never thought I’d say. I love how the semi-private sessions feel 1:1 while still offering the energy of a small group. I always leave feeling strong, confident, and like I got an amazing workout. And now that I’m pregnant, I couldn’t imagine working out anywhere else—the modifications and attentiveness make me feel safe and supported every step of the way! Do not hesitate to join Fitness Inc!“

“We love Master Neil. My son is a rambunctious 11 year old but boy when he is in front of Master Neil, whole different kid. Master Neil leads with strength and discipline but he loves these kids. My son misses him very much as we moved away from New Jersey.“

“I first joined Evolve Fitness while recovering from ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair surgery, with the goal of regaining my strength, mobility, and confidence. From day one, the team took the time to understand my specific needs, limitations, and goals, creating a personalized approach that helped me safely rebuild strength and return to an active lifestyle.

Fast forward to today, and I am now training for a 225-mile cycling endurance event - something that felt unimaginable when I first walked through their doors. The progress I’ve made is a testament to the knowledge, expertise, and dedication of the trainers at Evolve.

What truly sets Evolve Fitness apart is the versatility of the team. Whether you're recovering from an injury, looking to improve overall fitness, training for a major athletic event, or just starting your wellness journey, they know how to meet you where you are and tailor a program to help you succeed. Every coach brings a deep understanding of exercise science, injury prevention, and performance training, while also creating a welcoming and supportive environment.

I’m grateful for the role Evolve has played in my recovery and ongoing fitness journey. If you're looking for knowledgeable coaches, personalized attention, and results that truly matter, I highly recommend Evolve Fitness.“

“I’ve been going to this gym for about 2 years ago. When I look for a gym I like gyms that have a wide range of equipment, always clean, 24 hours and never too packed. This gym, in my opinion, hits all the marks. I never had any problems at the gym and the staff members are easy-going and attentive.“

“The guy at the front desk was really nice and personable. Made us feel welcome and treated us like valued customers. Would highly recommend this gym.“

“First of all, I do not enjoy working out. However, the Exercise Coach, in Florham Park, has changed my mind! The coaches, Matt, Ashleigh, Evan, and Lizzie are amazing!!! Because of them, I look forward to working out now. I've gotten stronger and leaner. Frank and Rosa, the owners, are welcoming and will walk you through the routine. Check them out!!! ?“

“Over the past year, I have been training at C2 Fitness, and my experience has been highly positive. Patrick is both supportive and knowledgeable. The space is clean and private, which makes it the perfect environment for a personalized workout. I highly recommend C2 Fitness to anyone looking to enhance their health and fitness journey.“

“Amazing place! Joe is a great trainer, coach and mentor. If you want a gym that will push you to the max, this is the one!“

“Attain was recommended to me after chronic pain had led me to a sedentary lifestyle and muscular atrophy. I had tried physically therapy, but was never able to make much progress. I began working with LeeAnn who brought the physical therapy knowledge and approach without being restricted by a diagnosis and insurance guided workouts. With her help I was able to build a foundation that I could transfer into training with Ben (owner). With Ben I've gotten to the point where I am either as strong or stronger than I was before my pain started.
The knowledge, attention, accommodation, and encouragement that comes from Ben and the trainers he hires helped me to get my life back.“

“After a spinal injury and sleeping in a chair for almost a year, I was ready to get back to living. I found Soo and have literally experienced a miraculous recovery with greatly reduced pain and increased mobility in a very short time. My wife and I are blessed to work with Soo and words alone cannot express the gratitude we feel. She is one of a kind!“

“very clean, nice staff, good environment and very friendly incredible peanut butter cup protein shake“

“As someone who regularly uses the gym, indoor pool, and jacuzzi, I can say that I am very satisfied. The gym area is well-organized and hygienic, and the equipment is in great condition. The indoor pool stands out with its cleanliness and calm atmosphere, making it very enjoyable to swim. The jacuzzi is perfect for relieving stress after a long day. Overall, the place has a peaceful environment and being away from noise is a big plus. The staff are also very polite, helpful, and always supportive.“
