East Side Fitness

"Update: Stay Far Away From Lee and the Phantom Boss." The gym and staff are fine but management has dirty practices and manipulates their members. Multiple staff members have agreed with me on the topic of a lack of management and forcing members in yearly contracts. Lee (Hispanic woman with very short hair) is a supervisor that is kindhearted but forgets what she says even with a recording of her voice (voicemail) and the Phantom Boss is never there but gives no power to the management team of 2. After falsely attempting to charge me $400+ in May, and disputing the claim, they remove the balance. I attempt to return to the gym in July and I am unable to because of a new $80+ balance. I gave the gym a week to resolve the issue and Lee presented me with the same Yearly Contract solution. DON'T TRUST LEE AND THE PHANTOM BOSS WITH YOUR FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

I love the gym and the Zumba instructor Karen .. She is amazing I join every 3 months BUT the room in the back is tooooo HOT for Zumba Especially in the Summer!!! I wish you would put some kind of airconditioning system in the room....People are really hot and sweating some can actually faint! This is not good for the reputation of the gym!! I miss my Karen!

Hi Mike Rodriguez,

When you write review like that you need present the whole story not only your side and feelings. First of all you got kicked out of the gym for harassing that lady and I witness it since it happened in front of me. You needed to be dragged out by the cops since you did not leave the premises when your were told. Even after I mention to you that you are on a private property and if gym staff asked your to leave you have to. But you made a big scene like a five year old girl and aggravated that lady further and escalated the situation. She was left with no choice but to call the management that instructed her to call police. And since you create the incident I am not surprised that they have cancelled your membership. The staff has to be protected from such harassment. Do you think that if you did this somewhere else they will give you a reward ? I do not think that any gym around this area would tolerate your behavior like that and if you did this somewhere else you will probably be press charged with harassment. There is a lesson learned for you since you still not a grow up that it is not your mommy's home and your BS will not be tolerated. For the future learn to be a man and treat a lady like a lady not like she is your buddy when she could be your mother. I hope you respected your mother so if you do remember treat every lady like that.

When comes to the gym I really enjoy the place and from what I see she is always greeted by many people with friendliness and responds with a smile. The gym has a lots of good equipment for low price . I have researched the gyms around this area and picked that one even I could easily afford any of more expensive ones.

I have joined many gyms in my life but east side fitness in Kearny is the best one yet. As soon as you walk in the receptionist cannot be more friendly, helpful and welcoming. A great way start to the day, a big smile and a big hello.The instructors are great and friendly . The scheduling is the best I've seen, consistent classes at consistent times. Morning and night, start or end your day with great people and a great workout. It's a small gym with everything you need and a personnel staff that makes you feel at home. Love it wouldn't go anywhere else.

Most of the staff at East Side Fitness is friendly. However the gym is poorly managed by an older woman with a disgusting attitude(stay away from her). I would stay away from the gym as in the area their are better gyms for less money. The people will cancel your membership without giving you a refund or asking you.
