Our comment from FitFit United States about Fitness City:

Fitness City, located in Matawan, is a celebrated gym that embodies the essence of an old-school fitness experience. With an incredibly friendly and supportive atmosphere, customers have praised the owner, Gary, for his engaging personality and deep knowledge of bodybuilding. Many users note that the gym feels like a community where everyone is there to help each other grow, and the positive vibes make it a unique spot to train.

Some highlights of Fitness City include:

  • Classic Old-School Environment: Emphasizing traditional training methods with a great selection of equipment.
  • Outdoor Workout Area: A rare feature that allows members to train in the fresh air.
  • Supportive Community: Friendly patrons who motivate and assist you throughout your workouts.
  • Well-Maintained Facilities: Clean and well-equipped gym offering both free weights and machines.

While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, a few users mentioned that the owner's sarcasm might not resonate with everyone. However, this does not overshadow the generally uplifting and motivating atmosphere that Fitness City provides. It is a gym where one can truly feel at home and focus on personal fitness goals.
