Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a gym that goes above and beyond, Fortitude Fitness is the place to be! From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re greeted with an atmosphere that radiates positivity, motivation, and community. The space is insanely beautiful, clean and well-maintained! What truly sets Fortitude apart is its coaching team. They’re not just knowledgeable, they’re passionate about helping you succeed. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or brand new to functional fitness, the coaches excel at personalizing workouts, offering modifications for injuries, and pushing you to achieve your goals without intimidation.

Negative experience: I was in Branchburg NJ for work from 9/15-9/17 I have been involved in Crossfit since 2014 I reached out to this box to schedule a drop in someone reached out to me via text on Sunday 9/14 . She said she would call me, I never received a call. Pretty rude if you ask me.

Fantastic experience: When I moved back to the area I had a lot of trouble finding the right gym. I went to 5 different places and finally found where I belong. Can't say enough positive things about the Fort.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend enough - best programming, coaching, and community of any gym I’ve been to, and suited for any fitness level.

Fantastic experience: One of the best CrossFit gyms in the area. Love the curated workouts and the coaches are super helpful. 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: Started here on 2019 because of an injury. The coaches were and still so great about making modifications when needed. I never feel like I’m missing out. I can’t say enough good things about the programing and the coaches. The members are welcoming and helpful. Everyone looks out and helps each other!

Fantastic experience: I seriously cannot recommend Fortitude enough!! Coach Shaun does an incredible job combining CrossFit and functional fitness all in one. Not to mention his programming is top notch. He provides encouragement and effective coaching no matter your fitness level. The community here is incredible. They are supportive, encouraging, and they make working out my favorite part of my day!

Fantastic experience: Best crossfit gym in the area!

Fantastic experience: THE BEST PLACE!!! Google doesn’t have enough stars to rate Fortitude/Shaun and his team!! After 6 months coming to workout at Fortitude I have to say that I don’t see myself going to another place at all. Thanks for everything you do to keep us happy and healthy everyday.

Fantastic experience: I started coming to this gym 1-2 days a week in Feb 2022. When I started I was in terrible shape. I had a hard time just carrying my own body weight up the stairs at home. To be honest I thought CrossFit was this daunting thing only top athletes do, but that's a huge misconception on my part. It's actually the perfect way to turn a sedentary life into an active one. The coaches here are excellent. They pay close attention to each member and coach accordingly, making adjustments to movements as necessary. Overall Shaun's program is the best I've experienced.

Fantastic experience: Fun place to workout

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing CrossFit for many years, and have been to many different gyms. Fort is by far one of the nicest gyms that I have ever been to. The facility is spotless, the equipment is well cared for, and you can tell that the whole staff takes pride in this. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Coach Shaun, Paul, and Matt. They are all truly excellent coaches who care about you and your performance and are clearly masters of their profession. Would absolutely recommend this gym to anyone, no matter your skill level.

Fantastic experience: It is a guided workout which makes it easier to get the best workout I can. The instructors are hands on and available to help with modifications to exercises and to answer questions. Staff are friendly and concerned about me to make sure I am getting the best services available!

Fantastic experience: Very well maintained facility with awesome coaches! Programs are prepared for all fitness levels. Glad they offer weekend classes. Such a great, supportive community.

Fantastic experience: Very well maintained facility with awesome coaches! Programs are prepared for all fitness levels. Glad they offer weekend classes. Such a great, supportive community.

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches and programming. Nicely maintained space and equipment. Been going for about 1.5 years about 3 times a week, morning classes. Keeps me healthy, and sane. Masks, distancing, and sanitary protocols are followed by everyone.

Fantastic experience: I am a gym novice by all means. The coaches are excellent instructors. They demonstrate the proper lifting/movement before the start of each workout. Then they ensure that during the activity you are still using proper form. This prevents injuries. The workouts are a mix of strength and aerobic exercises. I go once a week and I think I see results.

Fantastic experience: After having 2 crossfit gyms close on me in a year, I ended up finding and joining Fortitude. What could have been a disaster (limited gyms in sight) turned out to be so amazing. Fortitude quickly became a new gym family. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming and it soon became the best part of my day. The coaches/trainers work so incredibly hard to make sure each and every person gets the best experience possible. I have found myself improving, but not being pressured to do so. The crossfit community always seemed like an intimidating one to me, but this group is encouraging, challenging, and fun. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area!

Fantastic experience: I started out with Fortitude Fitness just after the new year and was nervous, as anyone joining a new gym would be. However, that nervousness fizzled in about 15 seconds once I walked in the door. The members are fantastically supportive of each other. They're friendly, encouraging, and fun to be around. There's a true community feel and friendship that absolutely emanates throughout the building. Members range from some very impressive CrossFit veterans to people who have never tried it before. However, everyone finds common ground in that they leave The Fort drenched in sweat, proud of what they accomplished, and somehow a better athlete (and person) than when they walked in. Furthermore, the coaches, Shaun, Paul, and Kelly, are absolutely wonderful. They go out of their way to make sure that each member feels comfortable with the workouts, and makes necessary accommodations to make sure that everyone pushes themselves to their absolute best. However, they make sure that everything you do is done safely, and with the correct form. They help you build great habits, and guide you towards the progress you desire. Finally, the facility is always spotless, and the equipment is second-to-none. I love my new membership at Fortitude, and can officially say that I'm addicted. I can't wait to see where Fort takes me as I try to achieve my fitness and health goals (and have a lot of fun along the way!)

Fantastic experience: Fort is a great gym with amazing people! I was new to CrossFit when I started and the coaches made it so easy to learn the new movements. They are wonderful about modifying workouts as needed to fit your level and to accommodate injuries. I’ve never been so committed to my fitness as I am now thanks to the ongoing support that fortitude provides! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Fortitude is an amazing gym with great coaches and a beautiful facility! All levels of fitness are welcome. The coaches work with you to achieve your personal fitness goals. The community is welcoming and encouraging. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Fortitude fitness got me off of the pandemic couch & off to a fresh start with CrossFit. The coaches politely & professionally help you progress in your fitness level! I have achieved first ever successes like completing runs where in the past I've completed jogs/runs with a speed walk. Here I've kept my tempo & improved my form & reos with barbells & other weights.

Fantastic experience: I've been a long time Crossfiter and have worked with a lot of coaches over the years. Mostly due to moving around the country! This gym stands out compared to some of my previous experiences. The coaches are great about individual development and are truly motivating. The programming is well thought out, with a goal in mind. These are not just random WODs on random days...there's a method to the madness! And the accessory work is so creative; some of these exercises I would have never thought of, even with years of exercise instruction. Beautiful facilities and clean as a whistle! Wouldn't recommend anywhere else in the Somerset/Bridgewater area.

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable coaches and the programming is great!

Fantastic experience: I dropped in to this gym on a work trip. It is a beautiful facility and extremely clean. All the equipment is brand new and in amazing shape. I was a little worried because that could mean they are making up for something. However the whole experience was great. Shawn the owner coached the class and I worked out with a very friendly 530 am crew. He also had no problem with me staying after and doing some extra stuff. Will be going back on future trips. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: In my opinion what makes this gym special is the programming. They put together well thought out programs with a good variety of exercises and personal guidance. Also really enjoy their Sunday class option!

Fantastic experience: The coaching staff is the best! I love the challenging workouts! The facility is spacious and so important - very clean!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility, great coaches, and a strong, supportive, and FUN community!

Fantastic experience: Fortitude is insanely beautiful. Coach Shaun did an amazing job with the place. There is room for any and all movements, regardless of how full the class is. All of the equipment is brand new and very well maintained. Coach Kelly was also very easy to work with. If you are in town for a week they have a 5 day punch-card. They also have weekend hits which was nice. I will be returning to this gym next time I'm in town. Great work, Fortitude.

Fantastic experience: Fortitude is my first experience with CrossFit and I have not one bad thing to say! The gym is spotless and the coaches amazing :). First fitness journey I have stuck with since high school. Team like atmosphere and every class is different. Fortitude gets FIVE STARS from me!!!

Fantastic experience: Love the community that this gym offers. The coaches are very knowledgeable and are very attentive to each member. I love how every workout is accessible to all levels and abilities! Highly recommended Fortitude!

Fantastic experience: Beyond the modern and clean facility with first rate equipment is the coaching staff. I have cross fitted with coach Shaun for 6 years and he has me in excellent shape, helps me scale the workouts as needed and continuously working to improve my technique.

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to workout. Special thanks to coach Shawn and Jeremy.

Fantastic experience: Great experience!! Being coached by shaun for more than a year now. He really focusses and helps you in achieving your goal. New equipment and a huge place to work out. I would highly recommend this gym.
