RWJ Rahway Fitness & Wellness Center at Carteret

This review is for the children’s swim classes. They are amazing! My 3 year old son (soon to be 4), has been going for a year. He is part of the group swim and it costs $ 120 for 8 classes ($ 15/​class) if I were a member I would pay $ 90 for 8 classes. I say this because this place is notorious for not telling you prices. It’s really annoying but I digress, this is about swim class. My sons class is 40 minutes long, when he started it would take 20 minutes to get him into the water. The whole 8 weeks was like this. It was painful. After 8 weeks he became comfortable in the water. Now, a year later, he jumps in as soon as we get there. He has learned so many skills and is on his way to become a real swimmer. This is a life skill and in my opinion, priceless. His teacher, who is such an amazing, kind and patient person (Alex) has taught him so much. I am forever grateful to this place for giving him this confidence. I was originally going to the club at Woodbridge (which really sucks in comparison to this place).

This place needs some work, been going here for over a year now and don’t know how much longer I will be a member. They can’t keep any of their cardio machines workin… the stair masters are always broke and they only have two and refuse to get more
Nobody racks their weights and the employees never say anything to the lazy people who leave them on
I’ve been to many gyms and this one is at the bottom of my list

This is the worse gym when it comes to customer service. Each time I have to freeze a membership, they still charge me. To make matters worse, you can call a dozen times, it is always the same, «leave a message, they in a meeting» will call back. Never will the phone call be returned. Problem never resolved. Sara who handles the account is very unprofessional. Maribel, the person that was there, was on top of everything in a timely manner.
Try calling and asking to speak with someone, I bet you will hear, leave your number, your name, and we will call back, because they are in a meeting. Never happens, People watch your account closely here, you will be over charged always.

Whomever works over the phone athis place is the worst. I began by being placed on hold for about five minutes with the front desk lady, who seemed sweet yet clueless, and she kept picking up the phone every few minutes to tell me that she will be transferring me right now. That should have been my warning to hang up. Next I spoke with a «counselor» who told me what they had to offer and that the gym was hospital sized, great comparison because I will be thinking of the hospital size during my workout. I asked him about job discounts and he had no idea if they offer discounts based off of your work place. All I wanted to know was the type of memberships offered and how much the initial payment will be and after a five minute wait and what seemed to be a pointless conversation because everything is done «while they sit with you at the location» including the information on pricing for an all inclusive membership, I’m left with a bad taste in my mouth and am reconsidering whether to even invest my money into a place that seem to be so misleading, in terms of the front desk lady telling me that she will transfer me to someone who can help me and that person doing everything but helping me. DO NOT EVEN BOTHER WITH THIS GYM’S CUSTOMER SERVICE OVER THE PHONE! YOU WILL BE DISSATISFIED AND DISAPPOINTED!

Best investment I’ve made. This is not just a gym it is a place that promotes health and Wellness. This is a place that tries to help you have a better lifestyle and to help you effectively meet your goals. I’ve been training with Rimoun for 8 weeks and I highly recommend a personal trainer to help make a lifestyle change. The place is extremely clean. Locker rooms are beautiful. granite counters. Beautiful Showers. The vairety of classes is amazing and they are at no extra charge! They have Zumba, Insanity, cycling, yoga, Aqua zumba. The list goes on. I am definitely glad I joined. After meeting with Alicia, Tim, and kyla, I am extremely inspired to invest time there for me. It is a place that replaces going out to eat junk all the time because you actually want to be there. They have state of the art equipment that counts your reps for you so that you can focus on your music. You meet with a nurse and then a personal trainer. They both did a very thorough evaluation of you and customize a routine and follow up schedules.

I switched from the YMCA To RWJ because of so many reasons. First of all… the equipment is state of the art. There are so many cardio machines, weights machines, and free weights. The locker rooms are nice and the lockers are reasonable size. The showers have organic shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. There have three pools. When you sign up, it is mandatory that you get a health assessment done and get a follow up every three months. Nurses conduct health assessments and you get an intial personal trainer assessment and follow up every three months as well. You can pay for more sessions if you like. Cost includes free daycare for your children. The daycare is in a separate building. You can watch them if you are on the cardio machines if you tune into the daycare channel. They do offer classes for kids but the cost is separate. Plenty of parking around the area.
