The J: Opinions
Positive experience: The facility itself is very clean. The front desk staff tend to be nice albeit clueless teenagers. I only joined for the pool. It is nigh on impossible to get a lane to yourself in the summer because it's full of kids taking lessons. Not only do they take up one or two of the three lanes but parking can be tricky because their parents take up so many of the spots. Also, as I've just found out, a week isn't sufficient notice to end your membership. I'll be on the hook for another month for some entirely contrived reason.
Negative experience: Awful parking
Fantastic experience: Very well managed! Finally a gym that’s clean and organized. The atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly. Everyone from employees to the members have a genuine respect and appreciation for the gym. The J Fitness is the best gym in CT!
Fantastic experience: J Fitness has a terrific swim program for kids. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Very clean, functional facility with a warm pool. My son takes swim lessons with Brian, the pool director, and he is excellent.
Negative experience: The front desk staff are unhelpful. Zero customer service. there is literally nobody that can do anything if you need something.
Negative experience: NEVER GO HERE
Fantastic experience: The j is the best ! Clean and well maintained with a variety of exercise programs to benefit health . The facility boasts a wonderful indoor pool . I enjoy acquatic aerobic classes . A variety of wet and studio classes are offered by talented instructors throughout the day. Treat yourself to a healthy experience !!A great place to stay fit .
Fantastic experience: I have been a part of this gym for a few years now and I LOVE it. It has more of a private club feel due to its friendly staff and other gym goers. It has everything I need (great variety of classes, kind and knowledgeable instructors, a nice pool for training) and I never have to wait for a machine. It is always clean and other members are very respectful. A new bonus is beach yoga in the Summer. I honestly feel like I’m on vacation each class!
Fantastic experience: The best gym in CT
Fantastic experience: I've been a member here from the start and appreciate how clean and well-kept the place is. It has a wonderful sense of community and draws clients of all ages, which I appreciate. Lots of kids from the neighborhood work here. Highly recommend.
Positive experience: Everything about this gym is a 10/10 besides the bad hours and lack of cable flys for chest
Fantastic experience: I have belonged to fitness centers since the age of 13, and you haven’t experienced what a complete fitness center is until you join J Fitness. It is truly incredible. The facility is always clean, always organized, offers top level classes run by top-level instructors, high quality, functioning exercise equipment, and enough space to never feel restricted in your workout. The most amazing aspect of J Fitness is the front desk staff, who are the friendliest, always welcoming, best trained young adults I have ever seen. Even if I’m having a bad day, they instantly make you happy to be there, The entire J Fitness team are fantastic people. I love it here
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of JFitness for the last 7 years! I absolutely love the entire atmosphere. There is something for everyone, and the trainers and staff are all incredible ❤️
Fantastic experience: Great workout classes! Access to a pool for lap swim and classes too
Fantastic experience: I've been a member of J Fitness for 2.5 years now and I work out 2-3x/week. What I love about J Fitness is, it's clean, has all the equipment you will need, is rarely over-crowded, and the staff is friendly and top-quality. I valued the free, 60-min personalized training session. I'm loving the yoga classes, which are included in a monthly fee. You sign up with a promotion which adds value right away. I highly recommend this gym.
Fantastic experience: The J is the best kept secret in Fairfield County! This gym is small, friendly and well maintained. The Olympic sized pool is a warm 84 degrees and offers H2O classes weekly. A mixture of aerobic and strength & conditioning classes are taught by professional fitness trainers and you can complete a workout with a sauna and shower! The J has been the best investment I made in myself!

Fantastic experience: I just really love Yoga..Peaceful mind and body!! Wowwww experience and Excellent place..!!
Fantastic experience: Great gym, clean, good facilities, fun and caring staff
Fantastic experience: I love this gym because it’s not like any other gym around. - workers are super nice - always clean - the pool - a variety of classes included in your membership (all classes are included) - affordable - if you don’t like going to a gym because you don’t want to see people you know then it’s perfect (this is more accurate for the people who grew up in Fairfield) - perfect for shy gym girlies - perfect for guys who want to not be in an overly crowded gym -everyone welcome It’s like its own little community and I love it
Fantastic experience: Good ambiance, great classes, nice staff. A vibe for gym girlies
Fantastic experience: I love the J! Everyone is very friendly, the amenities are always clean and it is rarely overcrowded. There are a lot of chain gyms in the area that are a bit bigger but if you’re looking for that community feel and interested in supporting small businesses this is the place for you
Fantastic experience: What I LOVE about The J? Umm ... EVERYTHING. The facility is clean, the staff is friendly and supportive, and the vibe is perfect for me (I'm not a large, loud, frenetic gym type person anymore). So if you're the type of person who want to just get their workout on without pressure or stress, check it out. (Not all of you though, okay? We like it just the way it is, and don't want too many new members to change it up.)
Fantastic experience: Love all the classes and the cleanliness of the pool! If you like yoga you will love the yoga classes they are professional and offer a variety. Vera is great
Fantastic experience: Awesome experience. My children had a swim assessment done today. Mike was great, patient, and encouraging.
Fantastic experience: Clean, great staff, great Gym well managed they truly have a plan to keep members safe during Covid-19 and implement that plan daily... This gym is unlike any other diversity with age, members are great with mingling, giving helpful advice on the proper way to do exercises, sharing life and health stories, staff is outstanding the front desk seems friendlier than ever, Johnny keeps this place clean, touches up with paints, vacuuming the overhead ducts to keep air quality at peak performance. The members now are better than ever, "it is Cheer's but at the gym, cause everybody knows your name and the other members name".
Richard, we are so happy you feel comfortable at The J. Safety during these times is our top priority for our members and staff. Since we have reopened we purposely keep a close eye on how many people are in the building at all times. Thanks so much for taking the time to write your review.

Fantastic experience: J Fitness is exceptionally well managed and clean. There are a diverse list of classes with engaging instructors. Love the fact that there is lap swimming availability.
Fantastic experience: Very clean and updated facility with many different options for exercising. It is never too crowded and you can always find the equipment you need. I do wish it was open later however, I they do open very early.
Fantastic experience: I am a newbie at the J. The group swim classes are so much fun and the music is energetic and it makes me feel so happy! The Barre Core classes are awesome and you know you've worked out. Instructors Frances, Jill and Maureen are amazing - love my time at The J!
Fantastic experience: The J fitness offers a warm, clean, family friendly environment. The staff is always friendly and willing to help in any way. The management (Kim Fox and her team) is responsive to any and all questions. During the pandemic Kim has kept the gym a safe place to come and feel a sense of calm. What makes this gym truly exceptional are the teachers and trainers. Before joining the J, I was never a class enthusiast or a lover of weight lifting… now I’m hooked! I’m a dedicated attendant of any class taught by Jen, Jaren, Frances, Ernest, Stephanie, or Erik. The other teachers are raved about as well. I really can’t say enough positive things about the J!
Fantastic experience: Love the J Fitness. The staff is very friendly and Kim runs a great operation. All the classes are lead by great trainers. Very clean facilities. My wife and I have been members since it opened.
Thank you Bill! We appreciate your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I joined in November and have loved the place. It's clean, friendly and easy to work with. The pool is great and not over chlorinated. I recommend it highly.

Fantastic experience: Fun and active
Fantastic experience: The facilities and staff are excellent, and they offer a great range of fitness classes and training. One of the best gyms I have been a member at!
Thank you Kelsey for your review. We are so happy your are enjoying all The J has to offer!
Fantastic experience: I am a very serious bodybuilder and The J has everything I need to stay in tip-top condition. Sometimes I wish the weights were heavier but that's one of the many prices I pay for pushing my body to the absolute extreme limit. Sometimes I wish the sauna was hotter but, again, another price I pay. Sometimes I wish the pool was deeper and I'm not even sure why. I could go on listing the limitations I encounter in a world not designed for a world-class sculpted physique like mine but I won't. I'll spend the rest of this review detailing the aspects of the J that are pleasing to me. The staff is always welcoming and are polite not to gawk openly. The facility is always clean and never too crowded. I wish they were open later on weekends but I usually use that time to apply copious amounts of bronzer. Welp, time carbo load. Today is traps day.
Fantastic experience: We love the J. It’s a 3-minute drive from our house, it’s clean and well maintained. The equipment is modern, the classes are fun and effective, and the pool is top notch.
Thank you Sarah. We are glad you are enjoying your time at The J.
Fantastic experience: Well maintained and very clean gym. Great swimming pool. Amazing staff. Best value for your money!
Thank you Guy for your kind words! We are glad you are enjoying your time at The J.
Positive experience: Nice place with a pool, but too small and too expensive.
Thank you Gelin for your review. We aim to provide amazing customer service with a state of the art facility.
Fantastic experience: I bought a Groupon for 40% off for a one month membership, and I got to tell you I’m soo happy i did! I love this place!! It’s never packed, it’s peaceful, clean and the staff there are very nice. I can be at The J Fitness for hours, it almost feels like you are working out at home It’s such a comfortable facility. Facing the fact I can’t afford the monthly membership, It deeply saddens me when my 1 month is up I won’t be able to go back. I finally found a gym I feel comfortable in and finally not being so hung up on anyone judging me. I almost wish I can at least have one more month for the Groupon price. But Needless to say I will be enjoying the 3 weeks I have left.
Negative experience: Looks nice but the fee is a little to much. 100 to register and 62 cash monthly fee. It cheaper at planet fitness
Fantastic experience: This place is top notch! Beautiful clean facility with a wide range of classes and equipment.
Fantastic experience: Nice
Thank you for the 5 star rating! We hope your experience at The J continues to impress.
Fantastic experience: Never crowded and awesome services and classes for family and kids
We're glad we've made it possible for you to exercise all together as a family, Maurice! You guys are always welcome here. -Kim & Kristine, Fitness Director & Fitness Coordinator
Fantastic experience: Great group classes and is so clean.
Thanks for the support, Maryam. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out. -Kim & Kristine, Fitness Director & Fitness Coordinator
