Apollon Gym — Local services in Edison

I'm on the hunt for a new gym so stopped in for a tour. The one girl on duty just buzzed me in and let me roam around alone. The place is tiny. I could probably spit from one end to the other. The equipment is ANCIENT. Some of it even looks home made with sloppy welds and held together with clamps. Most of the dumbbells aren't labeled and again, ANCIENT. So old that they are rusted over. Seriously. The floor of the gym is in pieces with some of the padding missing completely. The historic equipment is packed SO tightly together you can barely walk between them. I mean 2 inches between the equipment would be over stating it.Cardio??? 5 treadmills thrown randomly in a corner behind some other old equipment. and two elliptical that have seen much better days. I almost expected the cardio stuff to not even be powered it is so jammed into a corner. And finally, THE STENCH. Smells like a 20 year old gym locker room - because that's exactly what it is. I did get used to it by the time i left but why would i want to get used to the smell of other people's crevices. FOWL. I went during peak hours and there were 4 people in there. FOUR! lol And the cherry on top? $30/mo for all this nostalgia. No thanks. There's hardcore and then there's naaaasty...

This gym is perfect for anyone at any level of fitness to come in and workout in a no pressure, supportive atmosphere. There are people of all shapes and sizes who have a variety of strength/fitness goals and needs, and no one is ever made to feel unwelcome.

The staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly creating what always feels like a family atmosphere. The training offered is top notch. If you have serious health/fitness goals you can't beat this gym. It's really the one thing everyone who works out here has in common, regardless of ability everyone is there to workout in a serious and productive way. This is not to imply that there is no socialization, just that it is second to the workout unlike all of the "big chain" gyms.

I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to work out in a supportive and encouraging...

The best gym in area. Period. Not because it has the flashiest commercials or anything like that. It's because of the atmosphere. Everywhere you look, there is constant motivation. People at every level and ability you can imagine are there, working hard to achieve whatever goals they have set for themselves. The staff are more knowledgeable and friendly than anywhere else you might find, and are always around to give some advice. I've learned so much from them, as well as other members over the past few months. And to top it all off, they have their own line of supplements right there at the gym. Protein, aminos, pre-workouts... everything. It's become another home, and its existence has helped me be a better person mentally and physically. Can't ask for a better...
