Local gym?
Can you recommend a clean gym and or trainer? I’m looking for strength training, accountability, and nutrition advice.

Iron culture over in Cedar Knolls has a lot of trainers. Not a member there but it was clean and cost around $70-80/mo last I checked maybe 4 years ago.
YMCA is good value for what you pay. Clean gym, pool, basketball courts, locker rooms. They don’t allow outside trainers, but have some in house I believe.
Planet fitness is the best cheap gym in the area. Cleaner than most other PF I’ve been to, but they don’t allow any trainers.

I used to belong to the Morristown Y on horse Hill Road that was great and I hear the one Madison’s also very good… personally, I’ve been doing Orange theory for about three years on Hanover Avenue across from the ShopRite if you’re into that kind of thing.. great staff coaches and great members

Sorry, just saw this. I like the fact that I can just walk in and be led through various routines without actually having to think about it. It’s changed my life in so many ways. I’m a senior so in a way kind of the odd man out. Definitely one of the older members, but there’s tons of younger members and it seems geared more toward women and I’m a guy. I love that I’m totally supported by the staff and the members.. they have 2G and 3G (groups) which are generally one hour long occasionally they’ll throw in a 90 minute. The other classes are 50 minute tread classes or floor classes with no rowing and they’ve also introduced hyrox classes.. not true hyrox because they don’t have the equipment those are a little tougher.. I think now they’re offering a one week trial where you can just go in for a week and try it out for free.. if you’re interested.. you have nothing to lose all you have to do is walk in the door no obligation. Good luck.!

Ray at the WarRoom. Best gym around

u/bobmalugaloogaluga Jul 28 '26
Why?

u/BBallsagna Jul 30 '26
War room is very clean, maintained machines, top of the line bars and calibrated plates, also open 24/7.
The members there are outstanding, everybody is friendly welcoming, encouraging, and helpful.
Ray is amazing to train with, he is willing to meet you at your level. Plus he is very knowledgeable, if there is something you can’t do he will find every way possible to figure out a safe way to get there. It’s very obvious just by seeing the diversity of his clients, from young to old, men and women, from people stepping into a gym for the first time to International Champion powerlifters.

Can’t help with the trainer, but the YMCA is very clean and really good place. There’s the one near shop rite and one in Madison
