An update to my previous review - I started doing Personal Training once a week with Alex, in addition to the group classes - it's the perfect mix of being able to focus on different exercises and go a little bit heavier in the personal training sessions, while still getting the energy from the group classes a few times a week - I strongly recommend this set up - and whole-heartedly recommend Alex as a personal trainer - he's been doing this forever with people of all different backgrounds - serious athletes to older people who want to maintain My initial review remains: I love this gym - the classes offer a huge variety of exercises so you never get bored. The instructors are knowledgeable and fun. There is great comradery among the members. You can make the classes extremely challenging or a little bit easier by choosing different weights. Whether you are new to fitness or advanced, if you enjoy functional fitness classes, this is the gym for you.

Big Mike 💪. Thank you for the review 🫡. And most importantly thank you for bringing top tier effort in every session and approaching each session smartly.

I started at Fit Foundry doing weekly private sessions with Dave Q to get in shape for my wedding. Dave took the time to understand my current fitness level and build a program to get me to where I wanted to be (and then some). The personalized workouts, attention to detail, and motivation from Dave not only helped me feel ready for my wedding, but helped me feel significantly more confident about working out in general. I also experienced the same exact level of care in the large format classes (which I still take 4-5 times per week) with the other coaches. Everyone at FF genuinely cares about your development no matter what level of fitness/strength you are at. There's an overwhelming sense of community that makes everyone want to get the most out of their time there. It's an amazing gym with great people. I would highly recommend Fit Foundry to anyone.

Thanks Zach. It was awesome to have you as a one on one client. Watching you put in the work week to week and take instructions from all the coaches, whether in one on one or large team was and is great to see. You worked hard and the results showed 💪

I started weight training at Fit Foundry with owner Dave Q this summer. With little to no experience, my goal was to build strength and bone density — and to learn correctly from the start so I could avoid injury. Two months of 1:1 training with Dave gave me a strong foundation: knowledge, strength, and the confidence to transition into small group sessions (2-4 people), which keep the personal attention but are more cost-effective long-term. Fit Foundry is a genuine community — welcoming and encouraging, never intimidating. I’ve been working hard, and I’m both seeing and feeling the results. If you want to strength train without feeling judged or in over your head, this is the place.

UPDATE: We’ve probably hit the end of our Spark run due to scheduling, BUT it provided our son with an excellent foundation and love for strength training. The kid hits the gym on his own 5x a week, applying everything he’s learned. He’s very conscientious about form and not overloading muscle groups on consecutive days. Knowledge is power. Thank you Spark! 💪🏼 —- Dave and Alex have a fantastic program in Spark! Welcoming, friendly and supportive of all ages and fitness levels (while still being challenging and awesome!), Spark has done nothing but impress us since we joined. For six months our son has fallen deeper by day into the love of physical exercise and the rewards it can bring. He has seen dramatic improvements in his “day job” of being a competitive swimmer, with Alex’s expert guidance and motivation as the direct catalyst. To say nothing of the bounce in his step, renewed invigoration, and lightness of spirit after every Spark workout! Let this review serve as a testament to the incredible character and expertise of both Dave and Alex, as well as the highest recommendation of the experience for anyone of any age or any fitness level. Soul-boosting! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

It’s been a pleasure to have your son. He is always a great to have in sessions and it’s been awesome watching his confidence and his athleticism improve.

I’ve been going to this gym for about a month and have really enjoyed it so far. The workouts are challenging and keep things interesting, especially with the circuit format, and the coaches are attentive and helpful with form throughout the classes. I also like the overall atmosphere, it’s energetic and motivating without feeling overwhelming. Overall, a solid gym with good workouts and a great group of people. Definitely recommend giving it a try!

Thank you Anya! You’ve been a welcome addition to our Fanatics. Always a pleasure to have in session. Keep up the great work 💪

I’ve been really happy with this gym. It’s exactly what I was looking for — dynamic, motivating, and intense. The circuit-style group classes keep every workout engaging and challenging, and the atmosphere is incredibly motivating. Another aspect that stands out is how attentive the coaches are. They pay close attention to your movements, correct your form, and genuinely care about helping you improve safely and effectively. Great energy, great people, and workouts that push you in the best way possible. Highly recommend!

Love FF! Give all the classes a try during the trial period to get a full sense of what the staff and facility offers. I felt very welcomed and the coaches were actually GLAD I was there to work out. This isn't at all something I've felt at other gyms. It's only been a few months for me but I plan to stay at FF as long as I live in Hoboken (which will be a long time!) I feel excited to work out for the first time. I get to focus on myself during class. As a stay -at- home parent, that can be hard to do otherwise. Also, I'm already stronger after just a few months. I can now use weights during class that I haven't been strong enough to use before. The attention to detail that the staff exhibits is incredible. I can always count on any coach to really observe my movements and make pointed recommendations to improve my posture or positioning. That is what feels different to me than other gyms- the true care and compassion for my individual fitness process.

Thanks for the hard work and effort Amy. Also for the great review 🙌. Thanks for putting your trust in us and we’re happy that you’re here. Keep up the great work.
