Gyms & Fitness Centers in Totowa

Gigantic green, blue, orange, and yellow inflatables pack JumpNasium’s 13,000-square-foot playground, with some stretching all the way to the high ceiling. Within them, kids burn off energy clambering over obstacles and cascading down slides. They shoot hoops, hurl dodge balls, and kick soccer balls around the massive air-filled sports complex or knock the cover off baseballs at the inflatable T-ball park. Kids then catch their breath at the arcade with lighted air-hockey tables and video games before losing their breath once more in the hurricane simulator, which blows winds up to 80 miles per hour just like the used-car salesman simulator. With five party packages, JumpNasium also make its playground an ideal spot for birthdays, winning kids over with playtime and a trip to the photo booth to commemorate the big day.

Greg Crawford, the owner at My Training Gym, has fitness certifications from three associations: National Strength and Conditioning, US Weightlifting, and World Kickboxing. This mixed background allows him and his staff to keep hearts pumping, engage all the muscles, and avoid boring routines. Traditional boot camp routines get a dose of boxing and kickboxing drills mixed in. This variety extends to the schedule and the pricing, as well—aside from boot camp sessions, there are programs such as boxing and kickboxing classes and personal training. There are also now two locations to choose from in Morristown.

To supplement the fitness classes, Greg offers a 21-day kick-start and body transformation package. It’s designed to help nurture one to total health through nutritionally sound meal plans, self-improvement workshops, daily affirmations, and regular high-fives from the 1975 Harlem Globetrotters.

For members of LOA Fitness for Women, the word support means more than having a reliable spotter at your bench. It's a keystone of the women-only gym, where ladies of all fitness levels can exercise and socialize in the presence of a community-oriented staff. Formerly Ladies Workout Express, founder Rebecca Tainter established LOA Fitness for Women to provide a workout space that was both physically and emotionally empowering, and to that end, her instructors lead motivational group classes in Zumba, yoga, and general fitness away from men and bodybuilding kangaroos.

Personal trainers also meet with clients for one-on-one sessions, drawing from several disciplines—including Pilates and medicine-ball workouts—to craft highly customized routines. They even plan specialized pre- and post-natal regimens, as well as workouts for women who have recently undergone cosmetic surgery. For visitors with kids, an onsite childcare service entertains youngsters—a far safer alternative to letting them build barbell forts on the gym floor.

Ladies Workout Express's supportive, attentive staff help women navigate the facility's full exercise circuit, packed schedule of workout classes, and other body-bettering amenities such as tanning beds and nutrition counseling. Members and pass holders can tone tired muscles while shaking their hips in a Zumba class, tackle cardio and strength machines sized specifically for women's bodies, or channel their disdain for dangling punching bags during group kickboxing lessons. After each workout, a thermal massage on a Migun bed relaxes weary muscles, and the sweat-sapping far-infrared sauna evicts toxins from the skin and lifts voodoo stress curses. Ladies Workout Express also offers fitness programs for kids at Cardio Kids.

At Ladies Workout Express, women of all fitness levels work their entire body during 30-minute fitness routines with the help of experienced trainers and motivating music. During the studio’s signature workout, exercisers breeze through a circuit of cardio intervals and strength-training exercises as an instructor doles out personalized tips and words of encouragement. Participants also cultivate fitter physiques using adjustable hydraulic-resistance machines designed to work two muscles groups at once. Eventually, this approach to quick, effective circuit training helps to increase muscle mass in time, which encourages bodies to melt more calories and pop fudge-dipped thought bubbles before they even penetrate cranial barriers.
