Stanlaw Fitness

Fantastic experience: It's great to be a part of the Stanlaw Fitness family, and I say family, because that's honestly how you're made to feel. I've been a member of many gyms in the past, but this here is different. This is a group that genuinely cares and goes above and beyond for its members. Mike and all of his trainers are amazing. Not only have I noticed a difference in physique, but in attitude...and I say this positively.

Fantastic experience: I first became a client of Stanlaw Fitness back in 2017. I attended group exercise classes and also personal training with Rob. I LOVED LOVED LOVED my experience, but unfortunately had to stop training here as I moved out of state for work, but still stayed on the email list and kept up with what was happening at the gym. Earlier this year (2024) I received an email about virtual training sessions. I signed up to train with Mike and it's the best decision I could've made. He also let's me train in person at the gym when I am in town visiting family, and offers a visitor pass to join group exercise classes. Mike and his staff are the absolute best. You will not find a more supportive, comforting and welcoming establishment than Stanlaw Fitness. No sign up fees, no contracts, no cancelation fees.

Fantastic experience: Joining Jessica's classes has been a game-changer for my fitness journey! Her vibrant energy and positive vibes create an incredibly motivating atmosphere, especially during those intense leg day workouts or boot camps. With the perfect blend of upbeat gym music and her expertly crafted sessions, every workout feels both challenging and exhilarating. Jessica's attention to detail, coupled with well-timed breaks, ensures we push ourselves to our limits while still maintaining proper form and technique. If you're looking for a fitness instructor who will inspire you to reach your goals with enthusiasm and expertise, Jessica is the one to go to! Deshraj

Fantastic experience: Our technicians recently assisted Stanlaw Fitness with a cable replacement for a crossover machine in his club. It was a true pleasure working with Mike as he is very engaged in his brand and makes sure the equipment is safe and ready to use. He wasted no time in calling us out and having this machine back in service for the members. His clients experience comes first! Thank you for the opportunity Mike

Fantastic experience: Great people, great gym, I would highly recommend it if your looking to get in shape

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: One of the GREAT ones in Bayonne !!!!!!!! Highly Recommended

Fantastic experience: 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!!!

Positive experience: Good personal training and fitness facility.

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to get a personal trainer

Fantastic experience: 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 .

Fantastic experience: Great boot camp with Mike!

Fantastic experience: I approached Mike and Robert on Broadway last Saturday and was concerned over this FCE (Functional Capacity Exam) that Liberty Mutual and it's doctors wanted me to take. But the very next week Robert gave me a one week session from Monday very early in the morning thru Saturday and it was an excited experience. Robert was testing me on everything, didn't left nothing out and was very meticulous on all it's methods precisely and at the very end it paid off on Monday 05/23 at around 09:30 am in a fitness center in Newark and the FCE examiner couldn't believe how well I did. In the years he was doing this FCE, he never seen anything like this before his eyes with such unbelievable strength . All this was done by Stanlaw fitness center in Bayonne. Those guys deserve the medal of honor for giving me such great confidence and motivation to pass this test. Thank you Robert and Mike for helping me to pass the FCE Exam.

Fantastic experience: I started doing personal training with Stanlaw Fitness. Overall, they are awesome. It is a great space and excellent instructors.

Positive experience: Great place to get a full body workout.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Workouts will challenge you in every way and the studio has a very welcoming environment. Mike goes above and beyond to make sure you are looked after and has a great set of trainers and staff to work alongside of him. I have never been so consistent in my workouts.

Fantastic experience: A year prior to joining Stanlaw, I had partially torn 2 ligaments on my ankle. Used my injury as an excuse to not workout but after a friends recommendation I started my free week April 2019 then joined the 6 week challenge. November 2019 I added personal training with Mike Stanlaw. Love the options and atmosphere. Everyone looks out for each other. The instructors and classes are awesome. When the gyms were mandated to close, Mike found a way to keep us going. Joining was the best decision I made.

Fantastic experience: Mike and his staff are the very best at what they do! He instills fitness as a lifestyle in all of his members. It's not just the 30 minute or hour long workouts. It's the personal check-ins throughout the week, the periodic fitness challenges that help you define a goal and specify a time limit to reach it, and the feeling that your fitness is their number one priority. You will never feel like you are just a client at Stanlaw Fitness.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Stanlaw Fitness, especially now during the quarantine. I haven't had the pleasure of visiting the studio, but Mike Stanlaw posts a workout daily for you to follow, focusing on a different muscle group each day. In addition to the workouts, which you can watch live or on replay, he also provides nutrition advice and is easy to contact for nutrition and workout advice. I am so glad Mike offered the online classes during the quarantine. In the short time I started doing his classes I lost 12 lbs and have also noticed a difference in my physique and energy level.

Fantastic experience: I was a somewhat new member of Stanlaw Fitness prior to the Covid quarantine but I must say I was really loving the gym and wish I had signed up sooner. I have been going to other gyms for many years but I felt like I needed that extra motivation to help me reach my goals and I found just that at Stanlaw. The trainers and owner, Mike are very motivating and supportive. Folks at all different fitness levels have the opportunity to do the workouts at their pace and I must say there is a great group of people who work out there. I personally do the group training classes but they also offer personalized 1 on 1 training. I give this gym a 5 star for motivation, results, cleanliness and a positive atmosphere. Give it a shot and I guarantee you will be hooked just like me.

Fantastic experience: Stanlaw Fitness is awesome. Mike really has created a great and friendly environment to work out and get healthy. He makes a point to communicate with each member personally and he's open to new ideas. He's really created an inclusive community.

Negative experience: Mike always did the same workouts, very boring, wasnt motivated. And it was so expensive for 30 minutes. Wasnt seeing results until i went on my own.

Fantastic experience: This is the first and only place that has ever made me WANT to work out and ENJOY it. The people there are one of a kind --it's a family!

Fantastic experience: Mike & his team are BEYOND amazing. I've never had the confidence or the drive to workout until I started working out at Stanlaw Fitness. Mike is honestly the kindest person, and will bend over backwards for you in order to help you achieve your goals. The classes in the studio are engaging, and now the online classes are an added bonus! One thing I also always loved about SF is how clean it is. The materials we use are always cleaned, and there's always cleaning supplies easily accessible!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym!! Mike and the trainers will work with you even if you're a beginner and have never touched weights before. Mike has created a wonderful and supportive community here, can't recommend it enough. With the pandemic he has adapted beautifully to offer classes online and keep members motivated.

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough about Mike Stanlaw and the trainers at Stanlaw Fitness. Love the group classes and personal training sessions. The Not So Senior classes are my personal favorites. Give it a try I guarantee you will love it!

Fantastic experience: Mike Stanlaw and Fitness trainers are awesome. They are professional and meet the needs of all members no matter what age or fitness level.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: I've trained with Mike for four or five years now and couldn't have had a better experience. He's built an awesome gym and community in Bayonne - the place is always high energy, super positive, and really clean. Workouts are always great, and the online training during COVID has been terrific as well. Highly recommend the studio for people of any fitness level - they'll get the job done.

Fantastic experience: By far the best fitness center. The trainers are excellent. They motivate and keep you on track. They provide a wide array of classes and go above and beyond to help you with your fitness and nutrition. Fantastic for all age groups including older people. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: This is more than just a gym. This is a place where you can tell that the trainers and staff really care about you and your goals. They will push you, motivate you, and you will want to ask for more. I’ve been there a little under a year and have lost several inches all around. I feel healthier and am motivated more than ever to continue. This place gets real results!

Fantastic experience: Where do I start - I am approaching two years being a member and it is amazing.. it has become my second home and family. I love the classes and well everyone knows what I think about my Trainer Christine (Tiny Terror) she is amazing. Mike Stanlaw has provided a place where I am going becoming stronger and becoming the person I always wanted to be.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in Bayonne , Mike and his staff make everyone feel like they belong, I love the classes and the instructors , kick boxing is my favorite class

Fantastic experience: Stanlaw Fitness is a place filled with variety and love and laughter. From the moment you walk into the door until class is over (which will make you upset with the instructor but happy you went), you will know this studio is built for the community...and you will be made to feel like you are a part of the community.

Fantastic experience: Stanlaw Fitness is AWESOME! The owner, staff and members are all wonderful. Everyone pushes you to do your best. I look forward to my workouts everyday. I would highly recommend stopping by and giving them a try. You won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: This is honestly an amazing place! Mike and his team do an amazing job keeping their clients motivated, accountable and comfortable. Walking in there you feel like a part of the Stanlaw Fitness family. The group classes are so great and give you the motivation you might be lacking. I only joined for the challenge, but I will 100% be joining as a member! Thank you so much for all the hard work you do! Most importantly thank you for keeping your gym so CLEAN!!!!

Fantastic experience: 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

Fantastic experience: Rob is an amazing personal trainer! I've only been training with him for about more than a month now, and I have already started seeing the difference in the amount of energy. He's always challenging you and pushes you to perform at your best. His sessions are always different so you'll never get bored and he's very knowledgeable in what he does. Every workout is intense but every workout is also different. Can not recommend him enough! Stanlaw Fitness is an awesome gym, and so far I am loving it.

Fantastic experience: What an amazing gym!!! Coming from someone who has tried dozens of workouts, gyms and classes, Stanlaw Fitness is by far my favorite. I've not only seen the most results, but I've build up the most confidence while working out here. Mike and all the trainers are great, it's not very often that you go to a gym where all the trainers genuinely care about you and your individual goals. I would 10000 percent recommend all my friends and family to join!

Fantastic experience: I have been at Stanlaw Fitness since about March 2018. It’s me and my three children. We have a workout session with Rob twice a week. The kids are never bored and the kids give me my reason to go!! They are having a blast trying new things and bonding at the same time! Our trainer Rob has always worked around kids baseball, theater etc. Ty Mike for accommodating our family life. It’s such a great positive training.

Fantastic experience: In the course of my adult life, I can't tell you how much money I have wasted on gym memberships that I never used. I started out self motivated, but lost interest pretty quickly. Last September I took my first group exercise class at Stanlaw Fitness, and for the first time EVER I am still motivated and excited about getting into the studio. After having 2 rotator cuff surgeries in the 12 months preceding my start, I was VERY nervous about challenging my strength and ability. It turned out to be the best health decision I've ever made. Mike Stanlaw and his team of trainers, have developed an atmosphere of support, encouragement, hard work, no judgment and FUN! At 58 years old, I am now stronger and have more energy than I thought possible. Since joining Stanlaw Fitness 6 months ago, I have lost 30 pounds, gained muscle that I never knew I had, and dropped my cholesterol by 55 points! I'm happy to be part of The Stanlaw Family!

Fantastic experience: Whether you’re a gym rat or a novice, like me, Stanlaw Fitness is the place you want to go to help you along your fitness journey. Mike Stanlaw and his staff are there to help you achieve your fitness goals. Not sure what your fitness goals are? Stop in and talk to Mike, he’d happy to help. I’ve been going to Stanlaw Fitness for a few months now and I can honestly say, I am so happy I took my first class.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout! The group exercise classes are fun and motivating. They’re fast paced and make you feel great. Mike, the owner, is awesome and works hard to make this a Gym you want to go to, even at 5am. The overall welcoming feeling that’s created at Stanlaw Fitness is hard to find, especially in big chain gyms.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Stanlaw Fitness since April 2018. I began with a fitness challenge, followed by 21 days for $21 & now I'm a member. It's the best choice that I've made for myself. I make Stanlaw a part of my day. I feel motivated each day to go there & once I'm there I make it count. However, it's not my motivation alone it's the owner, Mike & his excellent staff that make Stanlaw such a wonderful place. Mike makes it a point to make you feel like family. He greets you as you walk in & tells you that you're doing a great job on the way out. I highly recommend Stanlaw fitness to anyone of any age & all levels of fitness.

Fantastic experience: I started at Stanlaw in March with personal training. My trainers Rob and Michelle were great! They had me doing things I had never imagined I could do and I felt great! It's such a homey gym. Everyone is so friendly. It's nice when you walk in and the owner calls you by name! I've never been one to take classes but I thought I'd give it a try. And I loved it!!! The classes are amazing! You can jumpstart or amplify the fitness routines in your life! I had started my fitness journey prior to coming to Stanlaw but they really helped motivate me to keep going! Besides the weight loss, I am in the best shape of my life at 45! This is the one gym where I don't feel self conscious or intimidated. Everyone just shows up and has a good time doing the workouts. The age range and physical abilities are so broad but everyone is so friendly and motivating. You feel like part of a family more than a client. I'm looking forward to seeing this business grow! Mike Stanlaw and all the trainers at Stanlaw Fitness are amazing! Highly recommended!!!!

Fantastic experience: Where do I start, this gym is what I think about the perfect gym( Susana was right). It started with the location and excellent staff. Mike Stanlaw is a knowledgeable, professional and unique with the workouts. This place quickly moved to the awesome energy and knowledge that you take from the trainers here, they are eager to help and will take the time with you. The classes are intense for every level, the most you will enjoy is how diverse workouts combinations.

Fantastic experience: I joined Stanlaw’s $21 for 21 days challenge, and I loved the energy, attention, small group classes and trainers’ knowledge. I now have joined the Challenge and it is great and vigorous. It is teaching me consistency and focus. Mike Stanlaw is amazing. He’s present all the time! How is that possible, even at 5am classes that he’s not teaching!!! You also have to check out Dawn H. and her 5am kickboxing class- the dopest. This studio rocks.

Fantastic experience: I started to go to this gym during the six week transformation challenge. Due to circumstances I have not gone to the gym as much as I wanted but when I have it had been the best experience. The trainers want you to succeed and the gym members help you out during the exercise classes. What really sets this gym apart from the large chain gyms is that Mike Stanlaw actually cares about the clients. He texted me after my first class to see how it went. I intend to become a member after the six weeks ends.

Fantastic experience: I signed up for the Stanlaw Challenge and couldn't be more pleased. The personal trainers are helpful and ready to challenge you. They give great advice and tips throughout the challenge for you to stay on track. The gym has a positive and friendly environment. I would highly recommend Stanlaw Fitness!

Fantastic experience: I have known Mike for a long time maybe close to 20 years he honestly eat, sleeps and breathes fitness. His passion and drive to what he does does do for the community is like no other. I can tell you I truly enjoy Stanlaw fitness and I travel from an hour out of town to attend the amazing classes. So whether your looking to just feel good or change your entire life style Stanlaw Fitness is the place to go to!

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym with an amazing staff. They know how to keep you motivated. I recommend this gym to anyone who needs that push to get going and keep going.

Fantastic experience: My 9 year old daughter has been training there with Jessie, who is phenomenal. She motivates, encourages and educates not just my daughter, but, also, me. Well worth the investment.

Fantastic experience: 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

Fantastic experience: My fitness journey started over 5 years ago. This past January I joined Stanlaw Fitness as part of a “weight loss challenge”. It was supposed to last 6 weeks. 7 months later I’m still part of this gym. Everyone’s fitness journey is different and being part of Stanlaw allows you to go at your pace and be inspired by other members. Everyone supports and motivates each other, which is amazing. If you are ready for your journey and want to be inspired - BECOME PART KFNTHE STANLAW FITNESS FAMILY. Note: It helps that the classes and 1:1 training are amazing!

Fantastic experience: Going to the gym for me is mediocre but Stanlaw Fitness changed my perception. Y cause it’s such a homey gym. It’s the one gym where I don’t feel self conscious about what I do. Everyone just shows up and has a good time doing their workout and the age range is so broad. Superb classes; When I am in class “it’s me time” I stay focused, pushed myself and feel accomplished. Trainers are Knowledgeable. Highly recommended if i can only add more stars, I would definitely give it to them.

Fantastic experience: Terrific classes and wonderful atmosphere!! Motivation level is to the 10th power!!!

Fantastic experience: Learned of this great workout studio from posting in the Bayonne Talks group looking for 5am classes and the overwhelming response of locals to check out Stanlaw Fitness left me no choice but to! Mike even reached out to me from seeing my question online and invited me to come into talk about fitness goals. When i did there was no pressure to sign up but offered me a 21 days for $21 deal which by the 2nd day I was ready to sign up. The different classes each day is refreshing and challenging without concern of boredom from repetition. Mike continues his 1 on 1 contact almost daily following my group workouts. Have not done any 1 on 1 training but will continue the classes for the foreseeable future. Highly recommend to anyone who needs early group classes!

Fantastic experience: The staff at Stanlaw Fitness is amazing! The classes are fun yet challenging! They push you to improve what you want to work on, but also create an environment that is accepting and motivating! It was super tough getting back in a routine, but if you put in the effort to walk through the door they will put in the effort to help change your mind and body! If nothing else try a class out, I guarantee you it won’t be your last one!

Fantastic experience: This place is pretty awesome! Mike the owner is great! I started coming for a 6 week challenge and only made it to 2 classes because it turns out that I have a health issue and started breaking out in hives on my entire body and the condition worsens with exercise (who knew that's even a thing) mike worked with me even though I didn't make it to the classes and he checked on me and made sure to remind me to come back to class. I ended up joining the gym for the next year and due to my health issue mike helped me out with the sign up cost. I never expected that and was pleasantly surprised! I am planning to start going back to the gym in the next week or two now that my condition is getting better and I cannot wait! I have nothing but great things to say about this place and the owner. I have only been to 2 classes so far and even though they were only half hour classes they really work you out and you leave feeling great.

Fantastic experience: Mike and his crew are simply amazing!! They care about every individual that walks through those doors. I would highly recommend trying a class or some one on one training . You won’t regret it !!!

Fantastic experience: Love the atmosphere...support is phenomenal...motivation from everyone....members and trainers are simply the best

Fantastic experience: Stanlaw Fitness is absolutely amazing!! Mike and his awesome staff are extremely motivating, build up your self confidence while providing a wonderful, comfortable environment! I love, love, love this place and am so happy to be a member!

Fantastic experience: STANLAW FITNESS! It’s not a gym, it’s a home away from home. You have top notch personal training. Not just your 30 minutes with them it is a relationship. The classes are great for anyone no matter what level you are able to work out at. I have some back issues so I can not do certain excercises but The trainers will modify it to work for YOU. You aren’t just a transaction there, you are family!!

Fantastic experience: The classes are great, the gym is clean, the crowd that comes there is very friendly but what really makes me wish to come back again to the gym are the instructors who's classes I enjoyed so much, I couldn't get enough of them. Anyone who is trying out gym without a real sense of what to do there, this is the perfect place to come and the best part is that you can try an entire week out for one dollar, no holds barred.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! The classes are fun yet challenging! Just when you think you can't do anymore, the trainers show you that you can! Also, all the folks training also help and motivate each other. I look forward to working out! I highly recommend this place!! C. Sorrentino

Fantastic experience: I have been very successful loosing weight and getting in shape thanks to The encouragement and support of the owners, trainers and clients. Love training here, highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Great trainers and staff! If you want a gym that cares about your fitness goals and results, this is the place to go. You definitely get personalized attention and motivation to help you achieve "Real" results.

Fantastic experience: This is the best jewel that Bayonne has for physical fitness! Mike and his staff are professional and family oriented while whipping you into shape!

Fantastic experience: 27 pounds lost in the 6 week challenge! I can't begin to describe the unwavering support and encouragement that I have received at Stanlaw Fitness. Mike Stanlaw and all of the trainers at the studio go above and beyond their job description. Mike sends out fitness tips of the day via email and also personally text me to check on my progress. What gym owner does that?!? I have been a member of many gyms none of which have a family feel like this gym does!! This is my NEW HOME AWAY FROM HOME! If you join this gym you WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED :) -Clara

Fantastic experience: I've lived in Bayonne my entire life and have tried out just about every gym at one time or another, and I can honestly say Stanlaw Fitness is hands down the best gym in Bayonne. Most gyms in Bayonne are clean with modern equipment, but what makes Stanlaw Fitness incomparable to other facilities is not only the atmosphere, but the staff that promotes the positive energy within. The staff is eager to understand individual goals and take the time to educate/motivate each member (whether they have a personal trainer or not) on how to get personalized results. The small group classes are offered at all different times in the morning and evening accommodating all members despite their work schedules. Classes are just the right amount of challenging and the instructors ensure to modify workouts to individual need to include all members. Again, doing their part to ensure each member reaches their fitness goal. Before I continue on a rant, I'm going to end this by saying that I continue to renew my membership because I have never walked out of this gym feeling like I just had a really bad workout. Even if I had felt lethargic or unmotivated on my way in, the moment I walk through the door I'm reminded why I am there and it all has to do with the environment Mike and his team have built. I highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I began going to this fitness center on November 13, 2017. My daughter is a member there and many times tried to convince me to go there and just give it a try. I finally did after months of her telling me that I will like it. I have tried other fitness programs in the past and they didn't work for me, I thought the same of this one, but was quite surprised. After seeing how fit and good my daughter looks just after 3 months and participating in the Transformation Challenge I , I decided to give it a try. My daughter said she not only feels great but her attitude has changed immensely. In the past 7 weeks that I have attended this facility I can honestly say that I can see the difference in my clothes and I feel great. I attend the 5:15 am classes four times a week because I have a full time job and the morning class fits my schedule perfectly and love it! I thought that I would not be able to keep up with the class being 56 years old but that was not the case. Exercises can be modified if need be. My other daughter also joined and we make it a family fitness affair!! The facility is also very clean and it is a very comfortable environment to work out in. The members there are supportive as well as motivating. Mike Stanlaw is the owner and is a very hands on trainer. He is a very motivating individual, whether it be speaking to the members during the class or the motivating emails he sends out daily. He also plays great music during the workouts. The sessions that I attend are never the same he switches them up which is great, not boring at all!!! I joined up for 6 more months and am looking forward to doing the Transformation Challenge II. I would highly recommend this facility to others! Thanks Mike for starting up a fitness center in Bayonne that fits the needs of many people. If you do give it a try you won't be sorry!!!!

Fantastic experience: Mike (the owner) is incredibly down to earth and super approachable. Really makes you feel comfortable from day one. Him and his team who lead all the classes are awesome. Your fitness level does not matter here. Everybody works together and does their best at their own pace. Everyone’s individual fittness goals and journey are respected. I saw results from their classes super quickly. I highly recommend this gym. The classes make you wanna cry - BUT the trainers, results, and the really welcoming atmosphere keeps you coming back!

Fantastic experience: Been going for about a month and love it! The Trainers are great. They switch up the routine for the classes so it’s always something new and challenging! Plus they take the time to make sure you are doing the exercise correctly to get the best results, which I’m already seeing. Would definitely recommend that you give it try!

Fantastic experience: Great trainers, classes and group of people! Highly recommend. Classes challenge you and couldn't be happier with seeing results!!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Everybody is very friendly and supportive. I joined a little over a month ago and I am having a blast! My trainer Kelly is awesome and very knowledgeable. Both Kelly and Mike always seem excited about helping me achieve my fitness goals. In addition, the facilities are spotless clean and there is plenty of street-parking around the gym. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great supportive gym family!

Fantastic experience: Mike and his team of trainers are awesome for personal training sessions as well as their group classes. The gym is really clean and the location is perfect. I had a few friends who got into killer shape after working with Stanlaw which is how I found them and now having been working out with them, I highly recommend them for anyone else!

Fantastic experience: I recently signed up for a weight loss challenge at Stanlaw Fitness. The classes are great and the entire staff is not only friendly but so motivating. I did a few personal training sessions with Kelly and she is amazing! They are very professional and the place is spotless. I would highly recommend Stanlaw Fitness to anyone looking to either get back into their workout routine or to begin their fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: I just want to share my experiences at Stanlaw Fitness. First and foremost, Mike and his staff go ABOVE AND BEYOND to help me and all of the members. I have belonged to 2 local gyms in the past, but I never really went consistently. Just like many people, I “donated” my monthly membership fee. But at Stanlaw Fitness, I actually ENJOY going! Sounds crazy, right?! But it’s the truth! I feel like I really get something out of the classes, and all of the staff is there for you to answer questions or give advice. With my knee problems, the class instructors provide modifications to certain exercises, which helps out tremendously! The personal trainers (especially Kelly) are ALL very personable and friendly. Since joining Stanlaw Fitness, I feel better about myself, as I have always had negative thoughts about my body type. They have various classes at different times, which would help a lot of people fit it in with their work schedules. Mike is always sharing inspirational quotes and healthy lifestyle tips, regarding eating healthy or getting your 30 minutes of physical activity. Honestly, I hate to miss a class, even boot camp! And I won’t share my age, but I’m a Grandma! If I can do it, then so can you! Come try them out! I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I would 1000% recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for personal training and/or small group training classes. This place is great. I've been going for about three months and I love it. Absolutely no complaints. The staff extremely friendly. My trainer is Jesse and she is the best. I receive text throughout my day from Jesse asking how I am doing and giving me motivation to keep pushing. When I train with Jesse, is on the floor with me pushing me. I've had such horrible experiences with other trainers being so distracted at the gym I USED to go to.. you will never have that problem here! The establishment is also very very clean. When I first started the prices were a little higher and I had already signed a contract for 3-4 months, but Mike readjusted my contract to the new lower price without me even asking. That really showed his character and I can say this gym is definitely where I'll staying!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Stanlaw Fitness is truly one of a kind! From the trainers to the members, everyone is very friendly. Group training is a great workout and Mike and his staff are super encouraging and committed to helping their clients achieve their goals.

Fantastic experience: Love Stanlaw Fitness!! Great classes and equipment, but most importantly a fantastic owner who really helps you achieve your goals and is consistent with ALL the members to help them and Coach them threw each and every workout and or classes!!! Really makes going to the Gym FUN!!!

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout! The staff is very friendly and motivating. I love the classes and would highly recommend this gym to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Stanlaw Fitness has awesome energy and knowledge that you get from the trainers here, they are eager to help and will to take time with you. Also they understand what you are striving for and they WILL get you there and further, while having fun.

Fantastic experience: This is definitely the best gym in Bayonne. The owner, Mike, knows everyone by name. The trainers motivate everyone, whether it be in the group classes or individual training sessions. Each member can go at their own pace with constant encouragement.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, encouraging, and motivating staff!! Kelly is a fantastic trainer and Mike is so positive!! I am so glad I decided to begin my health and fitness journey here.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about Stanlaw Fitness!! The classes are great, the trainers are amazing! They really make you feel at ease. Whether you’re an expert at the gym or a beginner, you will not be disappointed by this gym!

Fantastic experience: A friend suggested I give Stanlaw Fitness a try. A few days into her annoyingly telling me how great it was, I gave in. I signed up under a great promo but didn't have high hopes. Over many years and through many gyms, it began and ended the same way. I started out great and then skipped here and there till it was none at all. Something magical happens as you walk up those stairs, (stairs into a gym, ironic.) Staff asks your name and your goals. They get to know you, to better help you. I'm one of those who needs workout affirmation, who knew? I need to hear: "Don't give up, you got this!" Or "Come on, give me three more." Each staff member that I've had contact with clearly cares and has your best interest at heart. They hold you accountable even when your not at the gym. "How'd you eat this week?" I also need to mention the other gym members. What a support system! I'm new and feel like each one of them want the best for me as I do them. There are constant supportive comments. "You can do this," if one sees another struggling. Or fist and elbow bumps between each circuit. So if your looking for a classic 'Cheers' enviorment minus the liquor, Stanlaw Fitness is the place to go to start your new healthy lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: I cannot state enough how much I love this gym. For years, I have been saying I need to get in shape. I'll join a gym, stick with it for a few weeks - and then inevitably stop going. I would get lazy. I would feel intimidated by the other members. I would feel self conscious and uncomfortable. Or there would be something I disliked about the staff, or the price, or equipment, or class offerings. Stanlaw Fitness is hands down the best facility that I've ever used. The owner, Mike, is the most kind and down to earth person you could ever hope to meet. He takes a personal interest in every single client - not just the ones who are able to sign up for personal training sessions. Because of this, I feel a sense of personal accountability - he knows which classes I take on which days, and will notice if I do not show up - which is a great source of motivation. All of the trainers are supportive and personable. They know you by name. They take an interest in you and actually remember conversations - about health, family, work, etc. It feels like home when I work in the door. The group exercise classes are small, intimate, and affordable. There is a great variety of classes, offered at numerous times during the day. It's impossible not to find one that fits your schedule and needs. Most importantly (for me), they are family friendly. I am a single mom, and I've often used that as an excuse to not get into shape. Other gyms charge an arm and a leg for "child care" and who knows how much they actually pay attention. At Stanlaw Fitness, I'm able to bring my 6 year old to the gym with me - for free. She's able to sit quietly at the front desk or in the office while doimg her homework or watching Netflix. I went from someone who HATES working our and eating healthy, to keeping a food log and going to the gym 3-5 times a week. This change is 100% due to the care, support and expertise offered by Mike and his staff. Lastly, they offer one free week of group exercise classes for new members, so you literally have nothing to lose by stopping by. The building is currently for lease/sale, but don't let that trick you - Stanlaw Fitness is open for buisness and located on the 2nd floor.

Fantastic experience: Mike Stanlaw and his team have created a family at Stanlaw Fitness. The team cares genuinely about the health, motivation, and enjoyment of their clients. They've created an atmosphere of encouragement and community by making sure each client is working toward their own personal "why" and spending time engaging with the people of Bayonne at every opportunity.

Fantastic experience: Mike and his team of trainers are awesome for personal training sessions as well as their group classes. The gym is really clean and the location is perfect. I had a few friends who got into killer shape after working with Stanlaw which is how I found them and now having been working out with them, I highly recommend them for anyone else!

Fantastic experience: This gym and it's staff are very dedicated and take the time to acknowledge and encourage everyone, though it's a bit on the smaller side they have plenty of equipment and make all the classes work. Everyone that shows up to workout there is friendly and not intimidating at all compared to a "juice head" gym, I am enjoying my workouts there and though I can always do similar workouts at home (T25, Insanity) the fact that there is other people there makes you want to go back and not give up, it holds your accountable vs just being at home and slacking. Mike the owner is a great guy and he is always on top of making sure everyone feels welcome and taken care of.

Fantastic experience: I started the group exercise classes here earlier this year. Mike's motivation throughout the class was beyond awesome. He kept me going even when it got tough. His positivity goes a long way and you always leave his place feeling accomplished and refreshed. Thanks for getting me back into being healthy!

Fantastic experience: Stanlaw Fitness is great! Mike is super motivating and invested in helping you achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: This gym is great. A lot of one on one attention without all the hassle of a big gym. Danielle's workouts are super!

Fantastic experience: I met Mike Stanlaw at a local vendor fair and he was very down to earth! We spoke about business, fitness and his passion was refreshing. I provided him with my contact number and he reached out to me right away to follow up on my interest for personal training. The following day, Jessica reaches out to me to introduced herself and set up a time to meet. We met the following weekend and she was/is great! I appreciate her patience and being there for me whenever I have needed her. Mike, Jessica and the rest of the staff at Stanlaw make you feel part of their fitness family immediately. I definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great place, always makes me feel motivated to keep going. Really enjoy all the different workouts!
