Hackensack Meridian Fitness & Wellness

Fantastic experience: I love the machines! There are so many and it's never crowded, very clean and wonderful locker rooms! The best thing about it, it's the 2 swimming pools (one salt water one) and the jacuzzi! Love it love it!

Fantastic experience: Great Gym, the trainers are very knowledgeable. I train with Jennifer Rau, she's awesome. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym!! I have been a member here for almost two years! Very clean facility, nurse assessments included in membership, great classes and amazing instructors! I wouldn't hesitate on joining here!

Fantastic experience: Everything you complained about at other gyms does not exist here. Clean, friendly, convenient, ample space, you name it.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym . Trainers are knowledgeable. Staff is friendly. Gym is very clean.

Fantastic experience: Clases are great, new and terrific machines, pool, sauna, jacuzzi, steam great! Never full of people. Clean.

Fantastic experience: Clean, friendly staff, great machines, great salt pool, free classes. Sometimes they run out of towel when it gets a little busy on the weekends. Parking is sometimes an issue on weekends. Well worth the money if you often the facility. The problems with the place does not detract from the value of it. I would highly recommend it if you live close by.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Has all the equipment I need. The cleaning staff are always on top of things and the trainers on the floor are super friendly and helpful. The suana/steamroom/showers/jacuzzi/pool amenities are great for a self care day. Great variety of classes as well, with talented instructors. The only disappointing factors are the guest policy and the operating hours, especially the weekend hours. I almost didn't join because they are still on the covid modified hours, but I was told the hours would go back to normal when memberships pick up. It's been over a year now, and still the same hours. But the location is very convenient for me so it is still worth it.

Fantastic experience: All your needs for exercise

Fantastic experience: When I called to inquire about temporary membership at the gym, I was directed to the Stephen H, the general manager. I explained that I only wanted a week's membership because I was visiting NJ temporarily. He offered me complimentary access for the week instead of the day's pass they only give. I had never met him and there was no chance of I ever joining the gym because I was only visiting the area. His sense of humility and professionalism surpassed my expectations. And this gym is a 10 star, if that exists. If you are New Jersey, new in the area or live there permanently, I highly recommend this gym. You should go check it out. You won't be disappointed: at least I wasn't.

Fantastic experience: I am very satisfied with the care l recieved there . The staff wonderful My therapist is the best there are other classes there and it’s just wonderful . I recommend this facility

Positive experience: It's a good gym. I COULD be a great gym with a few relatively minor fixes. o- Some of the workout equipment has seen better days and the vinyl / pleather seats are beginning to show signs of cracking, they need recovering. o- The addition of versaclimbers would be a wonderful thing - they should put in a row of them as once people realize what a good whole body workout they are, I suspect they'll be swarmed. o- A cold dip pool by the whirlpool would be a serious enhancement. o- Handheld shower heads would be helpful and make showering off not an exercise in contortion. The training pool is a wonderful thing. Shutting down the whirlpool in the middle of the day to empty and clean it is a bad plan, unless there was some incident that requires it -- it shouldn't be done during business hours for a routine cleaning. The hallway between the lockers and the pool is too cold when coming back wet to get in the sauna / steamroom / showers / change clothes. The air blowing in the pool area can be bone-chilling when getting out of the training pool, or the whirlpool -- less direct airflow might help with that.... perhaps aim the air in a way that it's not directly hitting people. It's a very good gym, not perfect, but very good. The well-heated training pool takes it several notches up from the other gyms I've checked out in the area.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. Everything is great here.

Fantastic experience: Fabulous state of the Art facility. Very clean and a great helpful and personable staff. Great indoor heated saltwater pool that feels and you can feel the tranquility of water.

Fantastic experience: Super clean and friendly staff! Awesome equipment .

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing. These 1-star reviews are pathetic; people are crazy. Yes, it’s $75 per month, welcome to Bergen County. This gym has it all: 2 pools, hot tub, separate mens and womens saunas and steam rooms, and every free weight and machine you could imagine. This place is absolutely amazing, I could live inside this place. Everyone should join TODAY!!!

Fantastic experience: Great Gym! Always very clean, staff is professional and friendly. Olympic size pool, big selection of machines, turf area, sauna, steam room, personal lockers and towel service. My personal trainer was very attentive, professional, knowledgeable and helped me to get in a great shape. I’ve been a member for three years and this gym always met all my expectations. Best gym in the area.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality This gym is very clean, the trainers are professional and work hard to help clients reach their fitness and health goals. The hours are convenient and any change in the schedule is communicated. All CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of the COVID 19 virus are strictly followed.

Fantastic experience: All these dumb 1 star reviews are all haters. Gym is beautiful. So thankful for everything very cheap for $80 a months that’s extremely cheap. Those $10 a month gym are packed with people. Thank you guys. I must try to recruit 2-3 people daily I am a business owner my self and know how hard is it to keep doors open and pay the bills. Thanks again

Fantastic experience: I’m reading the reviews and It’s funny how some people are surprised that the gym is about money. ALL gyms are about money! Especially during the pandemic!! I love this gym and would rather spend more money here then any where else. I love this place. And the staff is amazing ! Come and experience this gym!! You too will love it too

Fantastic experience: I'm a member for over 6 years - Before Covid it was the best Gym around. Now: 1) no Family swim 2) Closing too early 3) 1 towel per peson rule is ridiculous. 4) need appointment for a child care ( it was only 2 kids inside and lady didn't let my kids in). I'm thinking to canceled because of this

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this gym for several years now. The facility is excellent. They offer so much. Plenty of equipment, pool, sauna, steam room, showers, jacuzzi and more. The staff is very accommodating, friendly and professional. The trainers are the best!!! They all have great personalities and are eager to help you reach your goals. The maintenance crew keeps the place in great shape. Membership is very reasonably priced for everything that comes with it.

Positive experience: My favorite place place. Very nice gym, well maintained. Everyone is helpful. Aquatic center is my favorite part. Special thanks to Katelyn the aquatic center manager and also thanks to Lex.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Great place, very clean and safe. Everyone is respectful and responsible for share space....

Fantastic experience: Not only is this gym the best one I've been in but a manager that's always there with a listening ear. Three check Steve.

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym! Pool, hottub, steam room sauna..2 floors of equipment!

Fantastic experience: Signed up less than a month ago. This place is amazing! You get many perks with your membership: nurse, trainer, jacuzzi, pool, classes, and so much more! I am already down with 6lb since I started and try to work out almost every day. If you are looking for a place that offers everything, and I do mean everything, this is it! Sign up and don't even think twice! BUT, don't forget that you need to push yourself to go there and work out. The rest will come by itself Thank you, Gabriella for being such a nice guide in finding the right membership for me!

Fantastic experience: Can spend half a day at this place! Fantastic gym, with top of the line equipment, upstairs sports training area with turf + kettlebells. The salt water pool, and dry/wet saunas are my favorite!

Fantastic experience: The best gym in the area. I have gone here on and off since it first opened, and I LOVE everything about it. The cardio floor is massive, and the machines are new and exceptionally clean. There are ample weight machines, as well as a nice sized area for stretching and free weights. The weight-lifting section is on an upper loft area which I liked. There are several studios for classes, and I've found the instructors to be much better than you find at an average gym. There's a large and very clean lap pool, and unlike most gyms there's a separate pool for children's lessons. There's also a hot tub, and the locker rooms are beautiful. Clean and unlimited towels. Excellent in every way.

Fantastic experience: Gym is legit. Elite

Fantastic experience: Love the aquatic section of the wellness center. Both of my daughters swim here.one takes lessons while the other is on the swim team. Never had a problem always wiling to help Thank you Chris, Victoria and Henry.

Fantastic experience: Best fitness center ull find. Clean and well maintained. Trainers are awesome, i work with Carlos and he is the best.

Fantastic experience: A great facility. Has an awesome SALT WATER swimming pool. The GM, Steven provided a great customer care when I experienced some small issues.

Fantastic experience: Meeting for up coming surgery in 2 wks..great place..

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with a personal trainer at HUMC Fitness & Wellness for almost 3 months now and Garo, my trainer,is fabulous! He’s so motivating and incredibly knowledgeable. I’m getting to a place physically that I never thought I could achieve , feel great, and I look forward to each training session more and more each time. The gym itself is huge , has state of the art equipment and I’ve only just scratched the surface of all they offer. Tons of classes with yoga for all levels, Pilates Reformer and Pilates Mat, Bar, Ring, cardio classes, stretch ability classes, assort. dance classes, and lots more to choose from. Meditation and Tai Chi classes, athletic training plus a huge 8 lane lap pool, a therapy pool for water aquatics classes like yoga and Poolates. Also, an in ground hot tub is awesome -feels great and a good size-not crowded. The whole aquatic center is unique. Nothing like it around this area. Studios for classes, cycling studio, Les Mills classes, and so many more classes every month. Super friendly staff and membership includes a continuous evaluation by a trainer every 6-8 weeks for as long as you’re a member as a free benefit regardless if you’re working with a personal trainer or not to track your progress. Also included in your membership is a continuous every 3-month evaluation by staff nurses to track your health, weight, blood pressure, BMI, your measurements, etc. You’ll know your muscle:fat ratio in total as well as by each body part. See your progress throughout your entire membership as another included benefit as long as you’re a member. Huge partially carpeted locker rooms with steam shower, dry sauna, lots of showers, tons of dark wood lockers, big vanity areas, and all the towels you need. Very clean and well maintained. A spa is on sight as well for all types of massages, reflexology, and facials for an additional fee but discounted if you’re a gym member. And there’s “Sal’s,” a cafe-style eatery with lots of healthy options. Smoothies too. That’s the “Fitness” part of the facility. Check out the “Wellness” part as well offering acupuncture, physical and aquatic therapy prescribed by your doctor, counseling, mammograms;, cardiac rehab, cancer wellness program including yoga sessions, and so much moire. You never want to leave!

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: This is my 4th year training at the Wellness Center....it is always kept clean, has many options available for working out between machines, TRX, Keiser and classes. But what keeps me coming back is my incredible trainer, Chris H!!! He motivates me and crafts workouts that are customized to what works for me. He takes his responsibility seriously and I am a happier, stronger and healthier person for it! I recommend training with him!! He listens and responds to create the perfect workout!! Thank you Chris H!!!!

Fantastic experience: Love this place... this is like my second home...

Fantastic experience: I think this is a great gym and I enjoy working out here. The place is clean the machines are in great shape, there are plenty of 'areas' to work out. The pools and sauna and locker room are always nice and clean and never smell like a 'shitbomb' went off (like alot of other gyms). The staff is helpful the daycare is safe and I am comfortable leaving my son in there when I work out. Each weekend he and I swim during the family swim on the weekends. Ive had him take swimming lessons there and now he is like a 'mosasaurus' under the water. I also took training lessons and found them to be very helpful in kicking my workout routine into gear. It feels a bit luxurious at this gym and I like that.

Fantastic experience: Love it!

Fantastic experience: Clean facility with friendly, helpful staff. Tons of options and machines/equipment to match!

Fantastic experience: Great place to exercise.

Fantastic experience: A friend gave me a 2-week complimentary pass to use at the HackensackUMC Fitness Center. In the past I've had some negative experiences at other gyms so I was slightly reluctant to even go, but I threw caution to the wind and went yesterday to try it out. Upon my arrival all I had to do was fill out a brief questionnaire and then have my blood pressure taken, then I was good to go. I only tried the aquatic area because I love swimming, and it did not disappoint. While it was 15 degrees F outside, I was luxuriating in a warm, wonderful salty swimming pool. I like that they don't use harsh chlorine that messes up my blonde hair. Then I got in the Jacuzzi--paradise, then the steam room, and finally a hot shower. I felt like a normal human being again before venturing outside in the frigid weather. Other gyms I've used turned me off due to the aloof, unfriendly clientele, but two people actually smiled at me here, and another guest struck up a brief conversation, all of which made me feel welcome. Also the fitness center staff were very friendly and accommodating. I didn't use the weights, treadmills, ellipticals etc but did take a look around at those who were using them, and I felt relieved to see all different body types and ages amongst the guests. I like it when I see a wide variety of people at a gym, and there is nothing more intimidating than a room full of perfect glistening bodies who are all in better shape than I am. All in all, the whole experience was amazing and I am glad I went. Will strongly consider becoming a member after my 2 free weeks are up. There are only 2 issues on the downside: It took forever, literally, to get onto Route 17 with its steady, relentless stream of traffic. Next time I visit I'll look for a rear exit. The other thing is, I have been trying to find out if the facility is open New year's Day (this info is not posted on the webside) and if so, what hours. I called and called and called the number listed and it's always busy. They need to fix this. Otherwise, 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility and outstanding staff!

Fantastic experience: This gym is the most organized, clean and friendliest I have come across. The staff is helpful and professional. The group training classes are great, and the trainers are awesome people who push you to give it your all during classes. The only downside I can find is that the cafeteria closes early.

Fantastic experience: my experience at this facility has been nothing short of phenomenal. i'm a powerlifter that trains at a crossfit gym during the school year down in north carolina, but every summer i come up to jersey to visit family, i train at this gym. they are kind to students and affordable. they don't put on the pressure to extend membership for longer than you're looking for. the personnel are courteous and respectful, and these small gestures definitely help to make my training time positive. i quickly feel at home when i come back here, and get into a groove right away. the other clients are also respectful, and there is not a sense of bro-culture that overtakes the sports performance level. it's a good environment to get work done; the power-cages are decent quality and the bars/plates are all in good shape and usually organized.

Fantastic experience: The place is awesome ! Staff is professional attending to all your needs !

Fantastic experience: This is a world class gym with all the amenities. It has a crew that is constantly maintaining and cleaning the facility. The staff is friendly and it has the latest exercising equipment. When I workout at the gym I feel like a pro athlete because of state of the art equipment, olympic size pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and the turf on the second floor. The best part is the childcare section which is open all day unlike other gyms and it's free with retired care takers and teachers watching your child. Ill give this place 5 stars easily!!!

Fantastic experience: I am giving the stars to the trainers! I take spin with Abe, PYIO with Stephanie and more spin with Stacey, Abe is a spin guru and has great program of growing both strength and endurance! Stephanie is a wonder in her class of PYIO, she is so well trained and so attentive to the class needs, she is always explaining all moves and makes sure we have GOOD posture to avoid injuries! Stacey is a beast with the spin class and a great motivator, not to mention both these ladies are great athletes!

Fantastic experience: Great Classes, Equipments and Pool! Love this Place!

Fantastic experience: Great place to be. People who are negative need to pursue a solution to their INDIVIDUAL issues. Management is there for a reason. Lots of ways to resolve and address things. Nothing is perfect but as for me and my husband, it's 5 stars. Best aquatics center around!! Joined before building was even put up and ready. Best decision even though things have changed. Expect change. Can't deal with things, drive up and down Rt. 17, you DO have other choices!!

Fantastic experience: Can I just say this gym owns all. I get the price is above some of the others but only because it is TOTALLY WORTH IT. When you get to this gym and see what it has to offer and find yourself never having to wait in line for any equipment, that's how you know the membership was worth it. So many classes, a free personal trainer session and nurse examination every 90 days, plenty of showers, and a facility so well and maintained, it makes you feel like you are paying pro athlete service without the pro athlete costs (it costs more than other low budget gyms BUT it is not crazy expensive. I love the events they set up as well.
