Driven Gym,

1-55 Lafayette Rd, Fords, NJ 08863, United States

"The review is for specific coach there. The boxing coach Handel. He is an animal who felt the need to assault my son who is a minor. This man is over 220 lbs and messed up my son's face who weighs 125 lbs. I had to take my son to the ENT make sure he didn't break his nose. The coach was upset because my son was spending more time at a different gym. I spoke to the owner and made him aware of what type of people he has training there. I hope that this was addressed. This grown man should be ashamed of how unprofessional he acted. So if you are looking for a gym to box, DO NOT go here."

"My son just finished up the 3 month summer special today at Driven Gym in Fords. He had an amazing experience with all of the coaches and loved each class. The entire staff was very helpful and we felt the love. We will be back once soccer & ice hockey season slow down. The Deakyne Family"

"James is a phenomenal trainer. He made me feel super welcome. I came in feeling a bit intimidated & nervous but now I am a huge advocate of Muay Thai. I recommend driven gym to everyone who is on the fence of joining."

"If you would like to learn boxing/Muay Thai and make it a hobby or pursue this as sport, this gym would be a fit for you. They recently moved to a new location which I think was a great move because the old location was very old, equipment was very used and smelled like a mix of sweaty feet and bleach. Hopefully they keep maintaining their new location. This the only reason upside yo my experience and think it was worth a star. Because they do specialize and have coaches who know the sport. But I would like warn those who are joining for the fitness challenge they advertise. I saw it on FB btw. I became a member as part of a fitness challenge. I joined in November and the program started early December. When I went to the “orientation” it was a sales guy (I didn’t know that) I thought it was someone who worked for the gym but it’s NOT, never saw this man after signing my contract. In MY opinion, this gym does this “program” to get people to be contractually binded and get more members in. They only teach you combinations and make you do a few conditioning sets. all we did was jump rope to warm up and then the time was wasted on the coach repeating the combos, and then when we did the combos we had to partner up and half you class was just standing for your partner. So I never really had my heart rate challenged or if I did I would cool down right away because the level of exercise was low. But this really only conditions if you are not an active person who doesn’t exercise. So some people may need this to start. After a few classes, I realized no one tracks my attendance, no one measured/weighed me, no trainer check-in in the beginning. I barely broke a sweat, im pretty active and join all kinds of classes and types of exercises. I joined this program mainly to get accountability and discipline with the assistance of their “trainers”. They also said trainers would check in our diets and what meal plan we should follow individually. But they just gave us a an app with basic recipes (keto, vegan, etc). After 3 classes I realized it was a scam. The sales person said you showing up is the most important part and the the team would then work to help us with our goals. You show up and they don’t even know who you are, name, goals, they don’t track when you sign in, or track any progress. They just give us a paper to do our own attendance. It took me a leg to break my contract. I had to “move” in order to cancel and even then you have to pay a fee. I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO PROBABLY GOT SCREWED but don’t understand where the reviews are??? Not sure if the owners take them down, which they instead should stop using this outside contracting party and develop their own program instead if they want to hold themselves accountable and do right to their members and also maybe THEN they would have a better membership rate if they want to get more people in. Go to Yelp if you want to see more comments like mine about this fitness program because I missed those before signing up"

"In my experience, one of the things I noticed when I first started training at driven was how incredibly welcoming everyone is. What I love about our gym here is that if you’re having a bad day, and you come to practice and socialize, I guarantee that bad day turns into a good day because everyone is treated like family! Its very important to have a team who cares about one another, as we elevate and inspire eachother! Driven is one of the best schools in New Jersey. The coaches/instructors here are amazing and very knowledgeable, I can’t begin to tell you how much I have learned in the amazing 7 months that I have been here. If you’re looking to just get in shape or take it to the next level, this place has everything in between. Plenty of classes in the morning and night to fit ANYBODYS schedule! Stay Driven!"
