"Growing up, I was a petite girl. Of course, as you grow older, have kids, and take on responsibilities, life starts to change. I had my first child in which I didn’t stay with too much weight after birth (167 pounds down to 135 pounds). But I was not eating healthy and I started to gain weight. I tried multiple times in joining different gyms in which I only lasted for about three months. I wasn't focused nor committed, and also was having problems in balancing work, family, errands, and the gym. So I gave up! I had my second child five years later in which, after birth, I weighed 160 pounds and was extremely unhappy. I wasn’t happy in my skin and it worried me as this affected me mentally and physically.

I heard of NJ Fitness Factory through my sister-in-law who challenged me to join a six-week program back in August of 2017. And let’s just say challenge accepted! Each fitness training instructor is amazing! I didn’t feel as if I was going to the gym to be judged or seen as a “client." The instructors became my friends, people who care and laugh with me and make the workout experience fun! Yes, you heard me right — fun! I have decided to go five or six days a week for the past eight months and not once regretted going! I have been able to balance work, family, and health. Thank you, NJ Fitness Factory, for not only being my go-to gym but for also being an important part of life!"

“Go Past Your Comfort Zone!”

"The time had come for a change. The need to get back in the game. While I was working to lose weight, I needed to take the next step and get off my behind and start working out again. It had been years since I carved out time to do something that needed to be done. I came across NJFF’s location in Bloomfield. Upon my first visit, I found a warm staff, an inviting facility and a new approach that allows you to invest less time and still see results. The fitness training staff mixes it up, makes it fun, allows you to work at your own pace but also pushes you to go past your comfort zone. The members are non-judgmental, inspiring each other to climb to new heights. Not only do I enjoy the workouts, but I also look forward to each one and hate when I miss a training day. If you are looking for a great place to train you to need to check out NJFF."

“The Trainers Are Inspirational And Very Motivating.”

"I don’t know how much weight I lost but I know the amount of happiness, strength, and motivation that I have gained since I join NJFF. The trainers are inspirational and very motivating. It is easy to wake up early and come to class because they make it so fun. It seems like they have made working out my favorite hobby! Sometimes, it doesn’t feel like I’m working out because I am enjoying myself so much. NJFF has made going to the gym an adventurous and fun experience."

“Training With Dave Has Changed My Life.”

"Training with Dave has changed my life. Prior to training with him, I weighed over 240 pounds. I went through a series of fad diets and trainers, but nothing seemed to work. Each personal trainer would have me do something different, yet, there was no change. One even had me doing burpees in the middle of the entire gym, which, at 240 pounds, just made me feel embarrassed. When I met Dave, one of the first things we talked about was my lifestyle. Dave discussed with me the changes that would be necessary and why I was not seeing any changes. One thing I liked about Dave was the way in which he talked to me — never condescending, yet always informative. After training with him for several months I finally hit my milestone (weighed less than 200 pounds)! I saw my strength grow immensely and found one of my passions — hiking. The training gave me confidence in my own skin. Now, several years later, I have found another passion — running. Running was something I never dreamed of doing nor felt comfortable doing. Throughout my journey, there were ups and downs, but Dave was always there encouraging me to move forward and make better decisions for myself. Now, I am 80 pounds lighter, have found the confidence in myself, and got married! I am excited to take the next steps of my life and to continue to make my fitness a priority at NJ Fitness Factory."
