Used to be a good gym. But the owner signed up way too many people and now you have to fight for equipment any time of the day. It does not help that half of the equipment is broken and they still never finished all the fixtures and bathrooms despite being open for months. Looks like I am going to go back to crunch in union which is a shame. The place had real potential.

The gym have came a long way. The gym is much cleaner now. Finally they have the sauna room opened in the women’s room I can’t believe the bathrooms/ locker rooms finally came together. I still think the staff members at the front desk need alot of improvement in social skills as in being friendly and welcoming not a single person knows how to greet members when they entering the gym, they always just look awkwardly away when you’re entering or just stare in your soul but not say a single word until you say something…. Very very very weird a lot of members agree with me on that. We would appreciate if Bryan ( the owner) tells all of the staff members to be much more nicer when it comes to greeting people coming or leaving the gym.

This place needs a lot of improvement. Have been a long time member and finally stopped going. Let’s start with the sanitation. This place is disgusting. There’s poor ventilation and the condensation of everyone’s sweat blurs the mirrors. Floors are dusty and moldy and don’t get me started with the locker room. Everything smells like sweat and fecal matter. Their members for some reason have never heard of deodorant. Imagine working out in a hot sweaty room in a cramped space next to someone who hasn’t showered in a week. The culture at this place is bad gym ettiequte. This was the main reason I stopped going. Hoping they start cleaning better. Next let’s move on to the equipment. The equipment is old, dusty, and faulty. Cables are always breaking. I’m giving them an extra star because the staff are nice and honest and the hours are great. I truly believe this gym has potential and I hope they can make this place smell better

Cannot recommend Erik Bonini as a trainer enough! He is wonderful professional, and very knowledgeable about lifting and creating programs. He has helped me develop and get stronger, as well as understand the gym and what workouts to do and when! I am sad to be moving and leave him, but I am leaving full of knowledge and strength. Men and women alike should get with Erik for your fitness goals!!!

At first, I went to Blink by Journal Square but my experience there was not that good. I literally need to wait for minutes for the machine to be able to do it. Then I discovered this gym. It gave me a cozy vibes and has a generally friendly atmosphere. It is undergoing certain modifications to improve the area. The management seeks out the opinion of the gym goers with regards to what machines they wish to add to the already wide-array of equipment. This involvement from gym goers is essential for the growth of this business. Shout-out to my coach Ryan who has been very patient and approachable. He gave me useful tips on how to really execute a certain exercise. He’s also flexible and understanding when it comes to my schedule since I’m working as a nurse. So if you’re ready to begin fitness journey, hit him up.

This gym is convenient if you live in the Heights and don't feel like driving into downtown or Hoboken and looking for parking. There's a very good variety of equipment and if you can manage to work out right before noon or the early afternoon before the evening rush, this gym is great. It's also open 24 hours of the day, everyday, even on weekends. That being said, if you can only come in to workout early in the morning before work or after 5pm, don't even bother. The gym is small so not only is everything taken, but there is very poor air circulation so the air becomes hot, humid, musty, and smelly, even when the AC is on. The temperature has never been below 70 degrees (which for a gym, is too hot). At that point, just drive to Kearny - it's always empty and your membership will work at both. As far as staff goes, Sue is the only longstanding employee that is an absolute pleasure to speak with, that knows what she's doing, and that knows how to properly engage and deal with people on a day-to-day basis. No wonder she was promoted to manager! Kindness and competency should not be so hard to find and yet Sue is the only one that has shown it time and time again.

I'm so glad I found this place. Everyone that either works there or trains there is very nice and respectful of one another. My personal trainer, Erik is fantastic, very fun to work with and keeps you motivated (plus he has a great sense of humor). This place is a neighborhood gem and worth checking out! A+

Love the gym but I have a few things to say that would hope to be managed better within the next month since the gym is being renovated every Saturday and Sunday after 6pm. Please try to do something about the food smelling while we’re working out I can smell people sweating and the food combined it’s such a bad smell together and it stays in the gym for a while. Also the stair master keeps on being out of order I think it’s time for the gym to not only depend on a single stair master for the WHOLE gym to use… there has to be at least 2 stair masters so if one is out of order the other can work. I have high hopes for this gym please don’t let us down.

I joined this place on a whim after moving around the corner last Oct. Coming from Planet Fitness previously, I can honestly say I was a bit intimidated at first, but that quickly wore off. Everyone that works there makes you feel like you are a part of a little fitness family. The warm smiles & small talk with the workers makes me genuinely excited to hit the gym. Three months in (Feb), I started training once a week with Tim. Week after week, he has pushed me to my limits & has me feeling super accomplished. He's pushed me out of my comfort zone & given me the confidence to try machines and techniques I probably would have never touched before. On top of being a great coach, Tim's also an awesome guy who becomes friends with his clients and wants nothing but the best for them, in & out of the gym. I'd recommend this gym (+ Tim) to anyone.

Love this place. A real no bull* gym. The owner and the team are genuinely interested in bringing the best equipment and improving members' experience. Also, the gym is open 24/7 and you just cant beat that.

Fantastic gym, all the new equipments from cardio to weight training. Been training with Ryan for more than an year now and he has been a great trainer and motivator. Even on days when I feel a little lazy he pushes me and drags me out to the gym. Seeing great results.

1. Friendly Staff: The standout feature of Heights Fitness is its incredibly friendly and helpful staff. They are always ready to assist, answer questions, and create a welcoming atmosphere for members. 2. Owner's Dedication: It's clear that the owner is committed to maintaining and improving Heights Fitness. They consistently add new features and equipment, showing a genuine interest in enhancing the member experience. Cons: 1. Limited Space: The most significant drawback is the gym's limited space. Heights Fitness is the only gym in Jersey City Heights, and it's evident that the available area can get crowded, especially after 5 pm. This congestion can be frustrating for members trying to enjoy a workout. 2. Machine Hogging: On Wednesdays its "Jaw day" that's right! you will see grown men hogging the machines & talking for 20 mins. Making it difficult for others to access them promptly 3. I believe the Women's locker only has a sauna but not for the men's. I was told by a staff member when I signed up back in February that they will add it. But that never happened. ¯\_(ツ)_/ It might be beneficial for Heights Fitness to consider obtaining the bottom floor of the building. This could provide the much-needed space and help create a more comfortable workout environment for everyone. Despite the drawbacks, I still believe the potential and can be a great fitness destination with some improvements

Great and convenient gym here in the heights, not to mention it's 24/7. I've been going to this gym for almost a year now and have seen the improvements made, though it does take a while for some of the improvements to get done. Nevertheless, the gym is open to feedback and listens to its members to improve the experience. The staff is nice and supportive to the members, regardless if they're your trainer or not. Speaking of trainers, I've been training with Tim since I joined and he has helped me achieve personal fitness goals I did not think I could ever do. Training session after training session he has pushed me to my limits. It is so satisfying to accomplish them and eventually being able to do the exercises on my own correctly and with confidence. While Tim knows when to push those limits to the max and go the extra mile, he also knows when I need a break or to just take it easy. His workouts cater to his client's personal goals/needs. When I told him I wanted to do a Spartan Race, Tim has helped me prepare for the race through our workouts. Now, I'm training for my third Spartan Race and I couldn't have gone this far without his help. Overall, Tim's an amazing coach who has great relationship with his clients, both in and out of the gym. I highly recommend this gym and Tim to anyone.

This gym offered a day rate ($10) so I tried it while visiting JC. It had everything I needed for a good workout, the staff were friendly and the overall vibe was positive.

24/7 open gym in the Heights. Been waiting for a gym to open near me for nearly 20+ years. Gets crowded real quick since I'm not the only one waiting for a local gym to open. They have all the equipment needed to workout all the muscle groups.

Been going to this gym for a couple months now. So conveniently located and much needed. The staff is helpful and friendly. The owner is constantly there improving and maintaining the gym. Members are mostly respectful. Everything you need for a solid workout equipment wise.

Great back up gym when LA fitness is closed. Location and 24 hour access is a huge plus. Gym is clean but also small and can’t imagine being there on a day that’s crowded. Most machines are outdated but get the job done. Noticed showers also being installed which I thought was a nice addition.

I've been coming here for over a year now, and I enjoy it. The location is great, I love the hours of accessibility, the staff is always friendly and helpful, the other gym goers are usually very respectful. The machines are always being updated and are usually maintained pretty well. This place has changed a lot since I first started coming here, and the layout is always improving. They have been under construction for longer than I've been a member though, so it'll be nice to see it finally all come together (maybe this year?). I definitely recommend giving this gym a try!

Place feels like home every workout. Staff is always there to help and answer all questions. Ownership genuinely cares about everyone and making sure everything's in order. Been in the industry over 11 years and I can tell there's something special about this place.

Love this gym! It's very convenient, and the staff is super friendly. I've been training with my personal trainer, Tim, for six months now, and he's amazing. We train twice a week, and his workouts are challenging, but he always makes sure they're tailored to my needs. Thanks to him, my form and technique have improved a lot. He knows what's best for me, and during every session, he's always pushing me to the max. I'm so glad have Tim as my trainer!

Place is clutch if you have a crazy schedule you can get your workout in whenever you need. probably the best addition central ave has seen in years. I just hope it doesn’t turn into a social gym like a lot of these other spots have turned into.

I have been training with Tim here for several months now, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Tim is an exceptional personal trainer who goes above and beyond to help his clients achieve their fitness goals. His vast knowledge and expertise in various training techniques have allowed me to make significant progress in my strength and endurance. Not only is Tim an excellent trainer during our sessions, but he also provides valuable guidance on nutrition and overall lifestyle habits. He educates me on making healthier choices outside of the gym, which has contributed to my overall well-being. I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a personal trainer who is passionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about helping clients achieve their fitness goals. With Tim’s guidance, I have not only seen physical transformations but also gained confidence and developed a lifelong commitment to fitness. Thank you, Tim, for being an exceptional personal trainer!”

My AirBnb landlord cancelled my next month stay so I had to leave the area and move to the different one since I couldn't find anything there and prior to my cancellation I paid $90.00 for one month of gym membership. I asked one of the employee's if I could get by any chance partial refund since I already used the gym for 4,5 days. They told me I would be contacted by the owner later that evening but I got no call whatsoever. I wrote an email explaining my situation thinking that they will have at least a little empathy for people who are struggling in these difficult times of inflation and crazy prices, but no.. Ignored

I feel comfortable in this. Picky Picky people will write bad reviews but the Gym is good. I go, i do my business, no hiccups , i get out, what more can i ask. Thank you! Keep continuing the good work.

Ok gym, equipment is good. Staff is not very welcoming, they seem mean. Never been to a gym where they don't greet people coming in or engage with their members

It is a very nice gym, they take care of the People physical activities, but also of the economy. They are very fair when making your money collections. we just pay days that we use it, have a machine for every muscle and are near home.
