Blackburn Training Center

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this gym for over a month now, attending three times a week and would do more if my schedule allowed. But this place is so much more than just a gym; it has completely changed my life. It has given me a sense of discipline that I didn't know I had, motivating me to wake up at 3:45am! It has also provided me with a better understanding of nutrition, motivation and accomplishment. After having a child 10 months ago, I was overwhelmed with the amount of work I knew I had to do to reach my goal weight and physique. Blackburn Training Center has taken away all the guesswork and provided me with everything I need, from meal plans and recipes to workouts. If I have any questions, they are always just a message away, so helpful. My body has never been pushed like this before and I feel incredible after every workout. I can't thank them enough for helping me be the best version of myself.

Fantastic experience: Today was my initial day at Blackburn and it was a fantastic encounter! James and the other individuals were very amiable and inviting. I appreciated the quality preparing exercise and James was there to guarantee I had a decent structure. Eagerly anticipating more exercises there!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at the Blackburn Training Center for a year now and I can not rave about the results enough! My overall conditioning and strength has reached new levels I didnt see coming! The coaching staff is top notch and really know what they are doing. Theres no way you wont be able to hit your fitness goals here!

Fantastic experience: Jean & I have been going to Blackburn for about 2 years now. It's great how James always comes up with new and different workouts so we don't get bored. And lately he's stepped things up an extra notch! Really glad we're here and getting full body aerobic and muscle conditioning workouts!

Fantastic experience: I started in early January, so I'm about a month into training here. I'm by no means a 'gym rat' but I enjoy an athletic lifestyle and Blackburn Training Center is the perfect fit for me. The team is very welcoming and helpful when it comes to training, making sure you have correct form for the workouts and motivating you to keep pushing through it. I'd say this is a place for all skill levels, if you're new to going to the gym or want to train really hard, this is really a great place for everyone! I'm the type of person to show up and give 110%. The staff at Blackburn Training Center have the workouts planned out for me already, which is perfect. I also asked about nutrition as I have certain goals in mind, they have helped me with my nutrition game as well. All I need to focus on is doing the right thing and keep pushing forward. I'm already seeing positive changes both physically and mentally since joining! If you're thinking of trying it out, don't hesitate to get in touch with James and he'll be happy to bring you into this great community!

Fantastic experience: Blackburn Training is a really great atmosphere to be apart of. I was new to the area when I joined the gym and since having spine surgery, I wanted to get into the best shape I could, as quickly as I could but also as safely as I could. The personal trainers at Blackburn knew just the right things for me to do to avoid reinjuring myself and always made modifications based off of how I was feeling that day. The workouts totally kicked my butt into shape and I will forever be grateful for the connection I made with not only the coaches but the other members! To Mariah, Dave, and James- thank you for giving me not only my confidence back but also my strength to keep being active!

Fantastic experience: LOVE LOVE LOVE Blackburn!!! I finished up my complimentary 14 day trial and had such a great experience :). The workouts are great, they can be tough but are so rewarding at the same time. The coaches and other members are all so motivating, helpful and supportive. I am beyond happy I took the leap into giving Blackburn a try and am so proud to say I have now become a member and am a part of the Blackburn Family and Team!!

Fantastic experience: Blackburn and their 14 day trial really kick started my exercise needs. Even though group setting they worked with me individually so I would be comfortable. Some work outs were modified and others I just needed a little encouragement. No lack of enthusiasm at Blackburn and they've definitely helped me get to a better place.

Fantastic experience: As one of the three coaches at Blackburn Training Center I feel truly blessed to be a part of this team. For me being able to share my passion of working with dedicated, fun, and hard working members to achieve their fitness goals is the best part of this job. Our workouts are fun, challenging without feeling overwhelming and will definitely get you out of your comfort zone. Not only am I your fitness coach, but I also like to think I am a part of a fitness family and community. There’s no gym quite like BTC, and I’m excited to see where we go into the future.

Fantastic experience: I have been a part of the Blackburn Training Center family for over five years. Family is the most important word of that last sentence. From the amazing coaches to inspiring members, it truly is a family. When I started five years ago I hadn’t worked out in years. I was lucky if I could lift the smallest weight in the gym. But...I never once felt uncomfortable or intimidated because of the the incredible support system. Fast forward and everything changed...my endurance, my strength, my mental well-being. A serious life changer. I never was a “gym person” but BTC made me one. I have had some health issues over the years and the whole team has always been supportive, modifying workouts when needed. I cannot say enough great things about this gym - an incredible place that truly transforms you. Thanks BTC crew...y’all are awesome :)

Fantastic experience: Great place. Great people. Not only an awesome workout experience but an amazing team environment. You don’t realize how hard you can really train until you have a crew like Team Blackburn behind you!!!!

Fantastic experience: So far, the experience has been great! The owner is very involved with all the members at the gym, and the personalized training and staff are incredibly welcoming. It's like being part of a family. Even after only a week of working out, I can already tell a difference. Interval training is really effective for me.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed a two-week test period and absolutely loved it. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. The exercises were tough but I could already see a change in my body after such a short amount of time. The trainers were very supportive and very knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. As soon as my trial period was over, I knew I had to be a part of this group. With their help, I am sure I will be successful!

Fantastic experience: I began my journey at this location a year ago with the six week challenge. The exercises are difficult and always evolving, the dietary plan is simple to adhere to, and the outcomes have been extraordinary. Everyone has a great attitude and the trainers are experienced and inspiring. We are like a fitness family. I would not choose another place.

Fantastic experience: I started out at Blackburn for a 6 week challenge, and I never left! This is such an amazing place to get yourself healthy and fit. The team here really cares about you and will support you in any way they are capable. You won't find a better fitness community around.

Fantastic experience: Being a member for several years now, I am in the best shape of my life. The coaches at Blackburn keep the workouts challenging and are constantly encouraging you to be better! There’s always an hour in the day to spare! Fitting gym time into my busy schedule not only keeps me fit, but increases my energy and improves my sleeping habits. Blackburn has been a life saver.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this facility for almost a year. I work out between 4-6 days a week and each day is totally dynamic and different. All the coaches are great and really push and encourage you without being obnoxious. The people who work out here are equally supportive. I love coming here.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! I have always had trouble finding motivation to make it to the gym until I found blackburn training center. James is an amazing coach and really holds you accountable for your workouts. He will help you create a plan to ensure you meet your fitness goals. You really feel like you are part of a team here, everyone is so supportive! The classes definitely push you but are fun and you see results quickly. I would highly recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: If I could give 10 stars I would! I started in April for a 6 week challenge and it's the best decision I've made for myself! James Blackburn knows exactly what he is doing! He is motivating, supportive and will hold you accountable. Not only does he care about your physical health but emotional and mental as well. It may seem intimidating from the outside but I promise you everyone who trains at Blackburn is supportive and wants you to succeed. If you need modifications for any exercise he offers them and shows you proper form for everything. You can go to a big box gym and pay more for a personal trainer and get less results! I promise you! Give yourself the gift of Blackburn Training Center, you will not regret it!

Fantastic experience: Going to the gym on my own for years has helped me "maintain," at best... Training at Blackburn for two weeks has me seeing and feeling results! Blackburn Training Center is not just a gym. You get support from James and his trainers, as well as other members!

Fantastic experience: I went from Zero to 100 Real Quick

Fantastic experience: James & Kevin are so encouraging! They create such a challenging, motivational atmosphere to accomplish fitness goals, even further them!

Fantastic experience: I joined Blackburn about a year ago and couldn't be happier with my choice. My gym was also a group/ personal fitness gym but it closed after almost 8 years. I was recommended to Blackburn and the trainers James and Kevin are the best! My workouts are always different and challenging, I feel stronger than ever and I see the difference in my endurance. They always encourage and never make you feel less than someone else just because you are at a different fitness level. The members are all ages and body types and everyone just seems to get along and encourage all the new members. I would absolutely recommend Bkackburn Training to anyone who is interested in being fit and healthy .

Fantastic experience: Great work out in a positive, fun & challenging environment!

Fantastic experience: Worth every penny!!!! I have been pushed to limits I never imagined I could achieve! !!!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for motivating, caring coaches, this is the place to go!

Fantastic experience: Could not be any happier about joining the Blackburn Training team 5 months ago. Individualized training to focus on your goals. Never intimidating. Supportive and enthusiastic group who encourage you to achieve your personal best. Class times are conductive to anyone's schedule too.

Fantastic experience: I can think of few words that would do justice in describing the world that James has created here. The friendliness and support of the entire community, as well as the determination that James and Kevin have to see you succeed, creates an environment where you want to succeed. It can be felt from the moment you walk in with the energy that flows as it's time to get to work. I've never enjoyed feeling this sore in my life, but I look forward to going back each time to see what kind of challenge awaits me!

Fantastic experience: Fabulous experience.... Recommend it highly!!!

Fantastic experience: Blackburn Training Center is amazing. James Blackburn and Kevin Byrnes are incredible coaches. The community that they have here is outstanding. I left the gym for 2 months and went to a few other places in Monmouth County just to check them out and nothing compared to BTC. The motivation, encouragement and instruction is off the charts!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking to change your life for the better, become healthy and get in the best shape of your life all at once, then BTC is the place for you! Top notch coaches who are knowledgable and actually care about helping you achieve the best results.

Fantastic experience: Nothing short of greatness. Amazing Coaches that are willing to go out of their way to help you. Iv been going for a little over a year and still feel the same enthusiasm as the first day I walked through the door. I highly recommend this gym.
