| - I have been going to this gym since April when I switched from another gym, and let me tell you, I am SO glad I switched. At first I was hesitant because this gym is significantly bigger and more expensive than my previous gym, but it is EXTREMELY worth it. It is ALWAYS clean, with a beautiful layout and locker rooms. It can get really busy when I go around 5pm, but that's normal and there is DEFINITELY enough to do, from the double set of free weights, ton of machines and enough cables, cross fit section, open classes, cardio machines, etc! I am always trying new things and learning! A big part of that learning is because of my trainer, Jordan Guida. I cannot say enough about this guy! I started with him two months ago. I was stuck in a typical body building routine and wanted to improve my overall fitness. Jordan and I had become friends since I joined the gym because him and ALL the other trainers in the gym are BEYOND friendly and approachable! I've NEVER been to a gym where I feel so comfortable with the trainers, except for Mountainside Arrowhead. One day Jordan approached me because we had talked about how I was getting frustrated with my routine.
He offered me a free training session to see if I would like it, and in 30 minutes I was dying, in a good way! I signed up for the "pay as you go" training (something I LOVE just in case things come up) and I have been working with Jordan for the past two months. He ALWAYS mixes the workouts up and is constantly showing me new things. When he shows me a move, he explains why we are doing it and makes sure my form is good. Jordan is also the BEST motivator. I can get down on myself often but he always pushes me to do the best I can and never give up. The best part is, even when I'm not training with Jordan, I can always approach him with a question (along with the other trainers as well!) and he checks up on me when he sees me working out on my own! My body and overall fitness are improving every day and it is especially apparent when I train with Jordan. My self esteem and happiness is growing significantly and I credit a large part of that to coming to Mountainside, meeting and being encouraged by the amazing staff, and training with Jordan Guida. I CANNOT recommend this gym enough!!!
