Alpha Fitness,

2 East Clinton Street, Newton, New Jersey 07860, United States

"This gym is awful every single machine has been broken and fixed but taken 15 weeks to fix the owner only cares about the other establishment in ledgewood everything is broken and doesn’t work don’t come here"

"i like the gym but i pay for a membership and can’t seem to find any staff to help me fix my bluetooth door account ?? don’t answer the phone and just straight up no show staffed hours bruh"

"What was once a great place to workout has turned into a filthy run-down dump with old, damaged equipment and a sensitive owner that doesn’t like to face reality. Since Anthony opened his Ledgewood location the Newton location has suffered, and his arrogance has clearly grown. If you go during unstaffed hours there’s a very good possibility that the music is off, and the place is in dead silence. To the right side are some outdated treadmills, ellipticals and exercise bikes. To the left side is the 1st workout room. Pay no mind to the hole in the ceiling as you walk in or the leaky roof from above the yellow janitorial mop bucket. You’ll run into the big red cable crossover machine that’s falling apart with missing panels and usually missing clips for the attachments or the pulley is off the tracks. Above you you’ll see a light that has been burned out for over a year now but it’s all good, you'll look better in the mirror if it's not cracked. The rest of the light’s covers are barely hanging on and will probably come crashing down at some point. A few holes punched in the walls both upstairs and downstairs, one you'll find behind the leg extension machine and the other by the seated pullover in the basement. Those have been there for over a year just pay no mind to them. Now we will head downstairs to the “Iron Basement” where the floors are filthy, and it’s been a long time since they’ve been cleaned. Don't mind the weightlifting chalk all over the floor and the bars this is a “hardcore gym.” You can tell if you look under the machines and racks as you're bound to find dust and other junk under them. If you’re brave enough to look up at the ducts, rafters, or pipes you’ll find a good assortment of dust and cobwebs. If there is a class in the studio above you get to watch it fall and make its way onto you, the machine, or the floor. Walk down that row of machines and take notice of the 2nd to last white Smith Machine and you’ll notice that the right hook that has been bent for years will add a little extra to your lift. Clearly you can see it’s been digging into the metal so that’s not something that just started but poor maintenance and lack of care. You're sure to find machines loaded with weights that you'll have to unload yourself. Hopefully if you’re female you won't get stuck with a machine that has the 100 lb plates or multiple 45 lb plates on the machine you choose to use. If you drop the 100lb plates on your foot, it will probably be your own fault based off management passing the blame. Make sure your tetanus shot is up to date, because if you touch anything that's metal to load a plate on your hands will be covered in rust. Don't worry though they'll have spray bottles of Simple Green that will leak all over your hands if you'd like to wipe a machine down, that is if the paper towel machines are even loaded. Hopefully you don't trip over the random weights, dumbbells, gallon water jugs, and water bottles that are carelessly thrown upon the floor. Check out the loose belt on the ab machine that says “check daily” that is so loose you can stick your fingers between the belt and guide. The dumbbells no longer have coatings on them so you can’t tell what weight you’re using BUT according to the January 18th post on Instagram new dumbbell’s we’re coming in February. April Fool’s because they still haven’t shown up yet and it’s May 2024. Where is your maintenance fee going because clearly it’s not into this facility???? After posting a few pics on my personal FB page, with no tags or identifying content whatsoever, the owner (Anthony) decided to publicly comment on my post in an argumentative manner attempting to defend and disregard the condition of the facility, and then publicly announced my membership is now cancelled. Which is fine he will never get another dime from me. Anthony as you read this, I’d like to remind you that the address to this building is 2 E Clinton St, Newton, NJ 07860 because clearly you went Ray Charles on this place. You can use this as a guide to help fix your gym."

"I have been going to Alpha Fitness on and off since 2015. It is truly the best gym around. The gym is always clean, staff is always friendly, and I have never ever had an issue renewing or canceling my membership. Anthony and Janessa are the best. It’s a family run business and they treat their clients like family. Anthony and Janessa know their clients by name. If you are looking for a great gym in Sussex (Newton) or Morris county (Ledgewood) come to Alpha. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Anthony and Janessa for putting together an awesome place to workout!"

"Best gym in Sussex county by far. The staff is always professional and the owners are always doing things to improve the gym. They opened a second location, which is another amazing gym in Ledgewood NJ. You can’t beat the price for what you get from this gym. Definitely recommend if you are in the area."
