Member Testimonials
Excellent facilities and helpful friendly staff!
Great space, equipment and staff
Updated equipment, clean, sauna
I only use Linda’s classes, but I would be lost without them. Your location, class times and Linda’s way of structuring her classes to the abilities of the participants all work for me.
I also use the sauna ( follow all the rules) and appreciate the way that Alma keeps the locker room sparkling.
Thank you for the nice response! Alma is a one woman show and does a great job. We are glad you are happy with the classes also. Thank you Nancy, for being our member!
the classes offerec. i got the information on the class schedule

Easily 5 stars for me-- I’ve been a member at Fitness Factory @ Bell Works in Holmdel for about 7 months now, and I love it. The equipment is top-tier and well maintained — great variety of machines, cardio, and free weights, and feel my workouts have improved since joining. The gym is clean and well kept located on 2 levels, and has a great stretching area.
The staff and other members are friendly, and there’s a warm, welcoming vibe. Definitely not an intimidating “gym bro” atmosphere — just a solid place to train.
One of the coolest parts is the location — the gym is housed in the former Bell Labs complex, which has amazing architecture. The building is huge, open, bright, and has a very modern mid-century feel with some nice retail/places to eat. It’s way more inspiring than your average gym.
Amenities are solid: there’s a juice bar and very decent locker rooms. I haven’t really taken advantage of the classes yet (my focus is cardio and machines),
Submit but the basics are all there.
And the price is hard to beat — about $40/month (1yr contract) or $50 month to month, and doesnt have crazy sign-up fees. Coming from NYC gyms like Chelsea Piers and Equinox, I can say this place doesn’t have every luxury, but it’s easily the best value in the area in my opinion.
If you want a serious, no-nonsense gym with great gear, a friendly crowd, and a really cool location, I’d definitely recommend Fitness Factory @ Bell Works.
I appreciate my trainer Dario Hernandez. I am not only having a positive experience with the exercises, but he connects the instruction to a lesson. He teaches me how the exercise will help a specific muscle group or what the exercise will improve my overall physical health.
He is respectful and professional and generates a positive energy.
The facility is clean.
The sauna, the amount of equipment, the location
Clean new machines great variety
I love it but the sauna is always not hot i hate that i have to turn it on before my workout so it can warmup, It makes me feel like i work there… and the red light therapy sauna light is broken. I just wish we could rent lockers too.
Clean, plenty of equipment, nice staff, easy access, plenty of parking
Great gym with great instructors!

I like how they keep it clean. It feels really good to be there.
Equipment
It’s always very clean, lots of space, and various machines
Love the selection of classes. Class room is big and Bright. Lockers and bathroom is very clean. Very happy with the gym. I was at Retro Kenvil and they suddenly closes. Glad they did because I found this gym.
Clean and New Equipment, Friendly Staff, Good Price
Well Equipped and Maintained
The Fitness Factory in Palisades Park, NJ,. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The machines are kept clean, in working order, and recently the gym got at least 7 new machines in the past 3 months, that replaced machines that were still functional and would have been kept in service way longer in other gyms. They also added a couple of machines with new motions that we didn't have before. Bathroom, (men's) is cleaned regularly, and they have sanitizing wipes on each floor for machine wipe down if you need them. .
Friendly staff , clean gym , good equipment, good vibes
I like the large space and selection of different machines.
1) PJ does a great job running the gym, I would make an hourly announcement to put your weights away and no cell phone while on the equipment
2) I would extend Friday hours from 10pm to 11pm
3) The increase in membership fee should have started as soon as the construction was completed. A thirty five percent membership rate increases was unwarranted
4)I will continue to bring members to the gym, I’m only looking to improve it my perspective.
Love the childcare it makes it so I can actually go to the gym. I just wish you had it on fridays as well
Excellent instructors , a very clean facility very friendly employees, good service
nice staff, clean facility, love the classes!
Location

I love the classes - especially Gigi and June. I just starting taking Etidal’s barbell blast class and that is great too. Everyone at the front desk is very friendly and welcoming - Justin, Matt, Brooke, Willow. Kirk is great about listening to our concerns/needs. The gym is always very clean.
We would appreciate paper towels in the bathroom and/or another hand dryer. It gets crowded waiting to dry your hands, especially after a class. A bench outside the classroom would be helpful in waiting for the previous class to finish.
We’d love to see more daytime classes and I know Gigi and June would be willing to provide more instruction. Thanks for listening.
