The family atmosphere this fitness center offers is like NO OTHER. I enjoy every second I'm there. No egos, no haters, just a group of people all looking to better themselves and have fun while doing it! Mike Stanlaw created something extremely SPECIAL here! I'm so happy I joined! Thanks Mike!!!
What a great place to workout . Everyone is so friendly from Mike to every patron of the gym. The classes are great and you’ll get a verified good workout that leaves you sore . Mike will also come help correct form. Humble and nice place to workout. Everyone clearly enjoys being there .
I joined Stanlaw Fitness in August 2022. It was the best decision I ever made. I love all the group classes especially, Kickboxing, cardio kickboxing and Bootcamp. The instructors are great and so helpful. I've been to other gym and Stanlaw is by far the best. Mike Stanlaw is a great trainer and owner as well. Stanlaw Fitness is a huge part of my life now.
Amazing local gym!! I’ve never been more motivated to work out. Great owner and trainers! So far, I’ve taken the kickboxing classes and boot camps based on my schedule, which are always great! Looking forward to continuing my membership. Highly recommended for work outs at any level.
Don’t let the For Rent sign on the outside of the building fool you. Stanlaw Fitness is alive and kicking. I admit that I at first thought that the building was empty because of the sign and didn’t explore the area for months in search of a gym, but I am more than glad that I decided to be adventurous and found the place. I’ve tried out different gyms here in America, and I finally decided to stick to Stanlaw Fitness. It has been the most enjoyable gym experience I’ve had here. It’s very different from the other gyms I’ve been to, which have all been run by corporations. It’s cozy and intimate. One may have second thoughts because of Stanlaw Fitness being smaller and having less equipment than other larger corporate run gyms. I was one of those people. However, let me assure you that they have enough equipment for good workouts that will bring about results. The strongest aspect of Stanlaw Fitness is their ability to effectively foster a culture of fitness and conscientiousness. The problem that I had with other gyms is that I just couldn’t be motivated to go run on a treadmill or do workouts. This is why I believe the most important part of the gym is not how much equipment there is or how good the protein shakes are, but how well it encourages its members to keep going back and working hard to achieve their goals. Stanlaw Fitness is able to achieve this in multiple ways. The trainers are encouraging and make you want to try more, pushing you hard but still watching out for your well-being. Personal training is offered for a fair price and is executed competently. The group classes are varied and fun. Mike e-mails the members every Monday to get their 30 minutes of exercise in and shares relevant articles on fitness. You feel that you’re being watched out for. One of my favorite things about Stanlaw Fitness is how meticulously clean it is. That was one of the first thing I noticed about it upon seeing the studio for the first time. It’s aesthetically beautiful, and the whole feel and layout of the place makes you wanna workout. However, the thing that really impressed me was how Stanlaw Fitness was able to instill the habit of cleanliness in their clients as well. Like I’ve mentioned earlier, I’ve been to other gyms, and I rarely ever saw people wipe down their equipment. In Stanlaw Fitness, the clients always did so, keeping the place pristine and sanitary. The other thing I like most about Stanlaw Fitness is how friendly the people are. The trainers know and greet everyone by name and reply promptly to texts and e-mails. The clients know each other. You feel a sense of friendship in the gym, and it encourages you to keep coming back. I used to go to the gym only once or twice a week, sometimes none at all. I like Stanlaw Fitness so much that I now go to the gym at least three to four times a week. I recommend the personal training. I have been sorely disappointed with the personal training I received in another gym, and Stanlaw Fitness showed me how good it can get. A big shoutout to Kelly, who has been an amazing trainer. She’s very friendly and sweet while being serious about her job and pushing me hard to achieve my goals. She’s easy to talk to and very encouraging. I was not able to see results after three months in other gyms, but I lost five inches and five pounds in one month with Stanlaw Fitness. I can also run for thirty minutes on the treadmill now, something I never knew I could do because I used to feel exhausted and spent by ten minutes. I used to dread exercise and feel very lazy, but now I enjoy it and look forward to it. You are not a stranger in Stanlaw Fitness. They involve themselves in your life rather than being a distant bystander. They work hard with you and celebrate with you when you achieve your goals. They have the human touch that corporate businesses lack. I only have good things to say about Stanlaw Fitness. If you want to achieve your goals and have a good time, go to Stanlaw Fitness. You won’t regret it.
From the first day I stepped in the door I have had a great experience with Stanlaw Fitness. Being new to NJ, I not only wanted a conveniently located place to workout, but also a place I felt comfortable and safe, and Stanlaw is all of those things. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, the trainers are tough yet compassionate and the members are welcoming. I have noticed results from my own hard work, but also from the commitment of my trainer Mike. He will go above and beyond and check on your progress only if you want! in his own personal time, and encourages you to reach out anytime, and I think that truly shows his level of commitment and loyalty to his clients. Not only have I had a great experience working out at Stanlaw, but it's truly a place I have made friends. If you are looking for a new gym, you won't regret joining Stanlaw, and hey, you get a week free so give it a shot!
I have recently joined Stanlaw Fitness for personal training sessions and it has been one of the best gym experiences! My trainer, Jessica, is an amazing trainer and supporter. Jessica is super friendly and is always there to listen to any concerns I may have with nutrition and/or any workout. She makes me feel super comfortable/confident at the gym! She constantly is checking in on me throughout the week to make sure I am doing okay and always is pushing me to achieve my goals during our sessions. I have only been at Stanlaw for a few weeks and can already see results! The owner, Mike Stanlaw, also is extremely nice and encouraging! Mike really motivates all of his members at his gym. The gym is very neat and clean. I would recommend this gym to anyone that is looking to get great results in a comfortable gym setting!
Stanlaw Fitness is a great place! Mike & his team do a great job of keeping clients accountable, sending tips and tricks, and the classes are highly motivating. I participated in the money back summer program and achieved my goal! Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for some results. -Molly Z
Stanlaw Fitness is a great studio and Mike is an awesome trainer and owner! I've trained with Mike for a few years now and have been really happy with the results. I trained with him after my son was born and have been training with him now throughout my whole second pregnancy. I'm 39 weeks and we're still going strong! Mike is very knowledgeable, motivating and fun to train with. And he really helps you set and achieve goals. You will not be disappointed if you train at Stanlaw Fitness!
i've been a member at Stanlaw Fitness for about 6 months and can't stress how great the classes and personal training sessions are! In addition to the great workouts, the atmosphere is motivational and super positive. I could go on forever about how great Mike, the owner, is. He is always there, always super personable and truly has such a good head on his shoulders. He wants all of his clients to reach their health and fitness goals and treats every one of them with respect and compassion. He is constantly looking to improve the offerings of the gym and has such a contagiously positive vibe. I also love my personal trainer! Erin has been my personal trainer for 6 months and she pushes me hard. She's constantly switching up my workout and is super accommodating when it comes to scheduling. I've been a member of every gym in Bayonne and none of them compare to Stanlaw. I highly recommend trying it out if you're looking for a place that motivates you and treats you like family! it's beyond worth every penny!
