Char Fitness Club — Attraction in Montclair

Char Fitness is simply top notch. Great gym with an exceptional staff. I've always been part of a gym in the past, but Char is next level. The workouts here are extremely curated and you can tell that a lot of thought goes into each workout and movement.The workouts always have adjustability and fit every level, from beginner to advanced. Workouts here are always changing up and it's always fun and engaging. Rock & Sam are some of the best coaches around point blank. They pay attention and take close care to your form and pace. They constantly help monitor your progress and continuously push you to keep performing better. Cleanliness of this gym is also first class. After each workout there is ALWAYS a 15 minute deep clean of everything touched. The team here has put a lot of thought into flow of the gym as well as cleanliness; especially during these covid times. The floor has personal boxes & spaces marked out for social distancing. The weights and equipment are placed so that flow around the gym is always maintained. The sink, soap dispenser, and hand sanitizer stations are all touchless. There is also an industrial sized exhaust fan installed that helps maintain fresh air into the building which is highly appreciated. Upon coming into the gym your temperature is taken and a questionnaire is up to ensure no one may spread anything. All of the classes are scheduled via an online app to ensure no overages and to maintain class size. There are also a very good amount of classes throughout the day to ensure it can fit in your schedule.

This is simply how workouts should be. I highly recommend Char...

Awesome gym ! I recently participated in the HIIT Strength class with Maya at 9a taught on Fridays. Upon arrival I was greeted by Rock, temperature taken, then directed to my assigned area for the workout. The workout was pretty intense! Using my Apple Watch I measured that I was burning about 10-15 calories a minute which is great, especially considering I was doing pretty close to the minimum amount of required reps per exercise. Rock and Maya assisted me in my form (wish they hadn’t because it increased the intensity ten fold lol) and they were always available for any other needs but focused on form to prevent injuries and target the proper muscle groups. At the end of the workout I could definitely say I was beat, it was a great mix of strength training as well as cardio as my heart rate stayed around 140bpm (captured via Apple Watch). We ended with stretches and pain. A lot of measures were taken to safe workout environment, after each session the floor and equipment are cleaned with disinfectant and participants are encouraged to wash their hands at the sink with antibacterial soap. The gym is really cool, I like the dark colors and gritty atmosphere because it sets the mood for hard work(if rocky was staging another comeback he could do it here)! If you want to get in shape or earn your weekend I think this is an awesome...

Rock, Johanna and Sam are all amazing, warm and welcoming. They are very professional and are people you can trust. I know for a fact they will never let me or anyone down. With this pandemic going on, it's hard to find weights to use but no need to worry - the coaches still find a way to make sure you feel sore when you leave (in a good way of course).

In case you are curious about the Sanitizing and Cleaning Procedures - Upon check-in, coaches check temperature and go through a checklist with you Coaches make sure everyone is wearing a mask and remains in their designated workout area (very spacious) The coaches dedicate about 15 mins after every workout to reclean the floors (I literally witness it every time I go) After every workout, we are responsible to clean our equipment with wipes but then leave it in our box. The coaches will then re-wipe the equipment and bring it back to the racks There are automatic soap dispensers and faucets There is a huge exhaust fan and (2) regular fans to help with air flow

Char opening is probably the best thing that has happened in 2021 so far! Looking forward to a great year with...
