Im a weight trainer whos been using FF in NP for about a year. I use the gym in usually in the evening during peak hours, and on the weekends in the morning/early afternoon, also during peak hours. I train my entire body and use pretty much everything the gym has to offer in terms of training equipment and cardio equipment. This gym is good for regular to intense lifting and cardio. Pros: - Minimal BS, relatively not crowded, good representation of available equipment (I go at peak hours and rarely need to wait for/work in on a squat rack, bench, treadmills, etc.) - Contrary to another review I read, I find that the gym IS well ventilated/air conditioned. The thermostat is always set to 72 or 73 degrees, and there are ceiling fans always on throughout the gym. - Decently clean showers, lockers, and wet/dry saunas - Unconventional cardio choices like the new curved treadmill and Jacobs Ladder are great to have - Surprisingly big - Helpful/friendly staff and trainers - great wifi Cons: - Hours can be restricting. It would be nice if they opened at 4 or 4:30 am on weekdays, and if they stayed open a few hours later on Sat and Sun. Its difficult if you plan on having a long morning workout and start work early. - Overpriced: Im paying $40 a month for a two-year contract. Given relative size and equipment, I would expect to pay between $25 and $30 a month. - My personal biggest complaint: WEIGHTS ARE VERY FREQUENTLY OUT OF PLACE AND NOT PUT BACK BY OTHER LIFTERS. The staff does not seem to do much about organizing (dumbbells out of place, left out on benches, plates put back on racks, such as a 45, 35, 25, 10 and 5 all shuffled together on one prong). I have used several gyms, including multiple college gyms, and I have never seen it this bad. - Lots of areas seem to be rarely cleaned (dust on top of machines and structures) - Often missing paper towels from the Mens bathroom (petty complaint, I know, but it happens pretty often) - Missing key machines/structures: no seated lateral delt raise machine, no T-bar rowing bench, no captains chair (half yoga ball suspended in the air like the back of a chair with handles for lower ab work), No D-handle pulldown bar, to name a few. It would also be nice if the had a few less treadmills and more Stairmasters. - People waiting to start classes often crowd around and block the water fountains and cable machines in the gym area next to the group training room. Overall, I give it 3.5/5. I find my sessions enjoyable from an environmental standpoint and am satisfied with the gym.

Im really glad I joined this gym. There are lots of things I like - the equipment appears new, the fans provide excellent relief from the sweat, the showers are clean and have good water pressure, locker rooms are safe - locks can be provided if youre concerned, towels are provided for both sweat and showering, every cardio machine has a tv attached to it, the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming and theres a variety of machines and equipment to use. They offer both contractual obligations and month to month memberships so it is really up to you, how often you plan to go to the gym and whether or not a contractual membership is right for you. There are a few things that could be improved - larger variety of cardio machines (there are perhaps too many treadmills), shampoo/conditioner in the bathrooms, more squat racks!, the tvs with the cardio machines are usually fuzzy, and often around 6:30 there arent enough clean sweat towels for everyone. Despite that, this gym offers everything I need for a good workout. Its a great place with a great team running it

Ive never left a review for anything but the other comment compelled me to provide my input. Disregarding contractual obligations and having to cope with the repercussions is no excuse for such a negative review as it is not a reflection of the establishment. Nick, Pat, Tyler, and the others have always been courteous and accommodating. I have been a member of multiple gyms over the past several years and none can compare in regards to price, atmosphere, and customer service. I have left other gyms in the area for one reason or another, but have no intentions of leaving FF for the foreseeable future. I would strongly recommend this gym.

probably the worst ever Gym in and around NJ.Please stay away they lock you for 1-2 years and doesnt matter even if you die they will still debit money from your account and will never cancel the contract.I have heart issues and been talking to them for over 2 months and I provided doctors note and they still want me to pay off my remainder of the membership fee to cancel my contract which is sick and I Will take this matter as high as possible to get this resolved,I will even take them to tribunal for sure.

I have been going to the Fitness Factory now for 9 months and really love it. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I had never done spin before and the instructors were so good in teaching me spin. If you are looking for a friendly gym to workout at the Fitness Factory in New Providence is the place for you.

Good gym with new equipment, but this place not ventilated or air conditioning . Right away you feel stuffy air and sweat traces on all machines. Not for intensive workout, very low standards for cleaning . Management just ignoring your requests. I do not recommend who really like gyms and intensive training .

Andrew Lo

Gym is okay, well kept and run like a typical gym. Left cause of inability of management to get new equipment and cause given the price of ~45, not worth it
