Do not join. Their prices are low but you get what you pay for. Machines never work, customer service is horrible, the bathrooms are always dirty and they make it extremely difficult for you to get out of your contract.Also, their receptionist Carla needs to be let go if this location intends on keeping their customers. She’s rude, overly sarcastic, and extremely unprofessional.AVOID THIS GYM! You won’t regret your decision.

Let Me Start By Saying This Place Needs New Ownership, New Equipment & Bathroom Remodeling. The Mens Bathroom Is Horrible Doesnt Even Have Door. Its Such A Shame Because Its The Closest Gym I Have To Where I Live . Please!! This Place Needs Some Attention

I been a member here around three yearsSo the last time I was there was beginning of March 2020. I still do not feel comfortable going so I noticed a payment was being taking out in June 2020. I spoke with the owner he said he will stop payment so payments were stopped on March 2021 I noticed a payment taken out of a maintenance fee 59.00 still have not been there Why would a payment come out and I havent been there. When I asked the ownerHe said its a service fee but I havent been in the gym well I cancel my gym noticed there I will not he back.

Do not join. I’d give this place 0 if that was possible. Management shut down the gym during covid and continued to charge us for membership fees, despite not providing any service. When our membership expired and we told them we didn’t want to renew, they continued to charge us. Management claimed “there was nothing he could do about it.” Had to threaten them with legal action and have a stand up argument with them at the gym to shame him into refunding the money he stole from us - over $1000 dollars. So like I said DO NOT JOIN. Oh and half the equipment doesn’t work - including the a/c which was broken for months through the sweltering summer heat.

Powerhouse gym great place to work out friendly people knowledgeable staff. The locker rooms and equipment are always kept clean. When equipment is down, it usually repaired within 2 to 3 days. Staff is very friendly and always greet me by my name. While it could use some updates overall this is a real gym to get a real workout in.

First of all I just want to say that all the 5 star reviews are fake. DO NOT TRUST THEM. I am not writing this out of hate just to warn people from making the same mistake that I did. The gym was nice at first .... however, I was on the $19.99 plan and I had to stop working out for about 3 months and they charged me the entire of my contract which was almost $500. They told me I could just pay the months that I missed plus late fees but I could not get out of the CONTRACT unless I MOVE 25 miles away or pay the almost $500. She said even if I moved 15 or 20 miles away once it’s not 25 miles away, you have to pay. I asked the manager themself if they could cut me a deal somewhere because after hearing that honestly i didn’t trust this gym anymore. She said no, she doesn’t make the contracts. That’s when I knew that they don’t really care. Listen for anyone looking to sign up to this gym, I recommend that you stay FAR away. BUYER BEWARE

My 1st time at the gym maybe I have to get use to it but some of the machines look broke down I’m actually annoyed I signed up for it I guess because it’s near my home I just signed up just because. But they need to upgrade equipments and a paint job with the money they get they should invest in that. If it were up to me and I owed this gym it would be upgraded and cleaner so many more people can enjoy a good work out. What I saw was a nice big room for workout classes that was nice out of everything else I saw.but hey I’ll get use to it and maybe speak to the owner about a upgrade..

The gym is old, so, so, so old and outdated. There are are holes on the walls, the ceilings, sometimes the second floor smells terribly, no one cleans up after themselves, the workers dont clean either, only time i see a staff member organizing is on Sundays and is always the same person, everyone else never cleans. I used to shower at the gym in the mornings before going to work but it became impossible, they only have one working shower in the womens bathroom and it smells like mold, the bathroom is divided into two sections and the back section smells terribly. I never use it (especially because there are only two stalls and one has been out of order since I signed up in January) but when i want to auto start my car i usually do it from that window and the 20 seconds im in there are terrible. I signed up for a $20 a month membership but they keep charging my card $26.72, i guess these are the hidden fees everyone keeps talking about. Im stuck on a contract for the remaining of the year and I will keep using it only because I refuse to let my money go to waste, but the moment my membership is through im canceling it. Nice people but if they arent willing to make the place presentable and comfortable for its customers then I dont see why I should continue paying them.

Review №18

I’ve been a member of powerhouse for over 2 years now. For the first year and a half the upstairs air conditioning was horrible. (Mind you that is where the cardio machines are) they finally got around to fixing that. The equipment is outdated but yes it works. I never seen anyone clean or re-rack the weights. I did it myself in many occasions. All things that were bearable. Now they up and decided that they will no longer offer 24 hours Mon-Thur. I have convinced many of my girlfriends and male friends to join. One of which would like to cancel her membership because although she never used the 24 access, that was the selling point in her switching over to powerhouse. We spoke to the manager yesterday which gave us the run around on contacting the billing department to see what he can do. I know he could have cancelled with a click of the button. He only wants to cancel (waive the contract) people who can during those hours he no longer offers. It shouldn’t matter if we came or not. You offered 24 hours at the time of the contract and now you don’t. The same way you can up and change what was offered I should have the opportunity to decided if this no longer works for us. I will post again once we figure out if his customer service will be suitable for a retraction of this post. I will be sharing his decision with you all as well as the members I have referred and those I come in contact with.

Update*Powerhouse gym has still managed to charge me after all this. I don’t go to your gym...So stop charging me!If I could give zero stars I would. Best thing you can do for yourself is build your own gym. This gym is a trap, they change the details of your contract without you knowing. when it is packed there is not a single spot to park in so you have to play parking jenga. Management was also changed twice in the 6 months I was a member. Long story short, this gym taught me a valuable lesson to never fall for the gym membership trap again.PS.Do not trust the five star reviewers, this is not a 5 star gym.

After a 3 day pass with my sister-in-law, I was really impressed with the gym. What really sold me was the Womens Only section. Although its small, its a great way to have an area to yourself without feeling uncomfortable. I also want to thank the manager, Maria for being pleasant and very helpful with my contract.

By far the worst gym Ive ever been apart of. Honestly cant believe anyone would give Power House Gym a 5 star rating. The staff has no idea what they are doing and the place isnt what its hyped up to be. Let alone member ship is so expensive and once you join its like signing your soul to the devil. Youre better off at LA Fitness OR Retro Fitness for the amount Power house wants. Dont waste your time here!

Review №35

Yeah. Its not state-of-the-art. They let people put gym bags on the floors. They let people leave the weights out. There are no towels. The music might be the worst Ive ever heard in a gym setting. So what? I go to train. Not to cry and whine about my surroundings. The Fitness Trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and willing to help. The front desk staff smile constantly and make entering and exiting fun. Its real easy to make anonymous complaints from your laptop in your living room but people reading are not stupid. We know there are three sides to every story and, chances are, you were wrong. Greg has been in this business for 35 years. He knows the importance of customer service. I know if someone stole MY money, Id be swinging on him not crying on the Internet like a little girl. So, please, go away. Let real men know the truth. The truth is: No frills. Machines are never out of order more than 24 hours. Plenty of free weights. Great staff. ✌🏽

Plus side: they are open 24 hours during the week. Negative: the equipment is adequate but not a large selection for what is a gym for serious lifters. Its a little old and not well maintained. The staff isnt allowed to give pricing information, you have to talk to a sales person. Which is not very conducive to attracting new members. Especially if you cant get there until late.

The gym is ok. The staff is pretty decent however. I made the mistake of not reading the fine print. I stayed in a two year contract & when I was done, they would not let me cancel. They stated that I needed to put my request in writing & would have to stay on for two additional months. I couldnt believe it! However, when I read the fine print it stated that you must give two months notice for cancellations. I have never heard of such a thing! Buyers Beware!!!

Review №41

The gym is pretty expensive, there is no pride in ownership in it (poorly maintained facility), its falsely advertised as 24 hours, theres parking for about 25 cars (no lie). Its depressing to walk in there, rather than being motivated to go Im more motivated to stay away. Seems that it was opened 20 years ago, with equipment and fixtures just as old. Bloomfield is currently in an upswing with new apartments being built, as the only gym in town it would be nice if they updated themselves as well. I wouldnt join if there was another option close by. The staff seems friendly enough.

I dont even know where to begin. My mom signed me a year contract there and it was okay in the beginning. Then my mom started having financial difficulties and so we decided to cancel it. When we went and Maria said I couldnt cancel it because its a year contract even though I tried explaining the situation. Then they said I could switch the account with someone else which was complete bullshit because they wouldnt let me do it. So now I have to pay the year even though Im not going. My mom is now in debt with this piece of crap gym. The gym smells horrible and it is so cramped. There is no air so you just drown in your sweat and the horrible smell. It is just disgusting. They are just hungry for all your money and will find any reason for you to keep paying. Piece of crap gym guys. DO NOT waste your time. Go somewhere else.

This gym is actually a really good gym if you know the difference between two gyms. Unlike your regular fitness centers where theres alarms for noise rules for no grunting or dropping weights. Powerhouse is a hard-core gym for serious athletes only this gym is actually great for getting your body into shape , fantastic for power and strength training this gym has the potential to sculpture your body as if it was clay .. The fact that it has broken equipment is fantastic it shows the hard work dedication and honor that went in to this Gym equipment is always replace but with new machine as they keep the old ones which I tend to love its worth the extra 20 bucks on your membership to work out peacefully with nobody bothering you could make much noise as you want although I will say the cleaning maintenance needs to pick up a little bit but besides that this gym is fantastic also has boxing training room with multiple punching bags The first floor has multiple weights including weight machine and re-Hardcore machinery and free weights lots of 45 pounder plates pull-up bars and everything you could think of including cable cross extensions but dont forget the second floor which has womans aerobics room multiple treadmills ellipticals and a womans private training section notice the difference between your gym this gym is a hard-core/fitness center there is no other gym like this left. this is an old-school style of training which is fantastic if Arnold was to walk in he will want to be Mr. Olympia all over again

Worst gym with a contract. Good luck trying to cancel your membership with them. They wont explain anything to you in the contract, just sign here and there. I know I signed up for one year, but after the 1 year is up, I go to cancel my membership, they have the f-ing nerve to tell me, I had to cancel 60 days prior, and because I didnt, I had to pay for an extra 2 months. Complete bs, and unheard of. Theyll do anything to keep you paying for something you not going to use because your life change. Stay away because youve been warned. If I could give them no stars, I would. Men rest room and locker room, are dirty and smelly

Great gym. Excellent hours. I especially love the workout classes. The machines and equipment are always accessible as there never are too many people using all them at once. The location is also great as it is close to everything. The staff are always friendly, especially Maria who is ever so helpful; whether its questions in general or training tips. As a girl, all male members treat women with a degree of respect (this is why I was suprised to read that a member was out of line and vocally disrepected someones ethnicity). Then why didnt the boyfriend approach the staff with a formal complaint instead of just leaving the premises? All in all, I strongly recommend Powerhouse gym in Bloomfield.

Horrible… after two month of visiting i decide to go someplace else… i pay the whole 2 years of the contract, now they dont want to cancel or refund the extra 4 months they took out of my account because they want me to sing a resignation letter AFTER MY CONTRACT WAS FUFILL… They are not satisfy with the 2 years of payment, they give you a hard time to get out of the expire contract. even thu i CALL 4 TIMES ( EACH MONTH) to speak to someone. Contract fulfill = no more payments, not to Power house gym. You need to give them a reason in writting why you dont want to be back. (HELLO!!!!!!) ohh by the way MARIA(THE MANAGER) says, If i was STUPID person that didnt know how to comprehend my contract. I do comprehend very well Ms. Maria… You are the one that can not comprehend the same costumers that pay your salary.PS. when i joint in 2012 we were 8 of us with power house…. today We all left and its not because its dirty or broken equipment, is call COSTUMER SERVICE… NOT LET SQUEEZ THIS COSUMER UNTIL HE OR SHE COMPLAINTS….

In writing this review I would like mention this is my Dads account. With that said, my name is Jim. Ive been a member for the past three (3) years. And to my dismay I feel these negative reviews by members and non-members are smearing a well staffed, diligently maintained Powerhouse of a gym in all categories of the facility. Whenever a piece of equipment is broken, former Powerhouse Exec.Carmine is quick to remedy the situation. The staff are well spoken, extremely knowledgeable and ever so courteous. Ive seen first hand owner Greg Buono lecture and execute perfection from his employees. And further, those staff members have the highest regard for their employer and his practices. As for myself, Im not the type of person who sits by his computer all day. In fact, I do not participate in the world of Facebook. But, I felt somewhat compelled to write this review to enlighten those who insist on writing negative comments to first do their homework in gym protocol. Powerhouse/Bloomfield puts all members needs high above their competitors. Ive seen patrons walk away with weight pins for whatever selfish reason, then I hear comments the gym is lacking proper equipment. There are unforeseen problems that arise in every facility. I ask the member to apprise themselves of all details before being quick to comment negatively. In summation, I give well deserved praise for Powerhouse/Bloomfield and their staff. I thank Greg Buono for creating a perfect marriage between business and staff and members.. Respectfully, Jim DiModica

To start off, I am a NPC Mens Physique competitor achieving top 5 placings in all of my 3 shows last season. (5,2,2) I have lifted at hundreds of gyms in America as well as overseas (Italy, Turkey, China) I also want to add that I am a huge advocate and supporter of powerhouse and whenever I have a relaxing weekend, my girlfriend (who is going to compete in her first figure competition in 2015) and I take a long drive to Syosset,NY to train and the legendary Bev Francis Powerhouse. I am currently looking for a temporary gym for my upcoming prep season, somewhere I wouldnt be bothered while training and slowly dieting down. I was fortunate enough to meet with Gregory Buono the managing partner for my day trial. He was extremely helpful as well as very polite, he took a little time to give us a short tour before we began our training. Unfortunately, right after this is where the problem began. Now I have trained for about 8 years consistently and I have seen the best as well as some of the worst gyms. I was thinking that since this was a legit powerhouse gym, I could expect something similar to Bevs. I was sadly mistaken, I have worked out in complete dumps, which ironically being a competitive bodybuilder/physique competitor I actually really like dumps. Older weights, chalk everywhere, thats my thing. So while the equipment and chalk on the floor didnt bother me one bit, but what bothered me was some of the equipment was clearly broken or posed a risk in using it. Last thing I need at the end of my off season is a broken foot. There was far too much clutter in the free weights section, I was literally bumping into other members/guests just trying to get to my weights. Here is another reason for the low review, the environment really makes and breaks a gym. The members a gym have will either raise a facility or bring it down. So we completed our training, and my girlfriend needed to use the restroom before we left. As she left the restroom, one of the gym members made a racist comment as he walked by. Naturally, I was extremely angry knowing someone had made my girlfriend uncomfortable. Someone I might add who was too much of a coward to confront her when she responded to his comment and as she turned around he had sprinted up to the cardio room on the 3rd floor. After we had left, she had told me that the ladys room was downright awful and disgusting. My girlfriend & I will NEVER return to this powerhouse. So anyone in the area who thinks this is a hardcore bodybuilding gym, I would advise to stay far far away.PS: Any rating above 3 stars must be either a staff member or someone related to his facility.

Ive been a part of many local gyms and by far this is the worst gym in the tri-state area. The only reason I even decided to join was because it was the closest one to my house but my membership only lasted for several months. The staff is super antisocial, their equipment is in dire need of repair and updating and the ventilation is very poor. I would rather commute and get what Im paying for instead of having to settle for this one.
