Powerhouse Gym Mahwah — Local services in Mahwah

Powerhouse Gym in Mahwah is hands down one of the best gyms I’ve trained at in the area. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place is built for people who are serious about fitness. The equipment selection is top-notch—everything from heavy-duty squat racks to a wide variety of machines and free weights, all kept in great condition. There’s rarely a wait, even during peak hours, and the layout makes it easy to flow through a workout without feeling cramped.

The atmosphere is what really sets this gym apart. It has that classic hardcore gym vibe but without the ego—everyone from beginners to seasoned lifters seems genuinely respectful and focused. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and it’s clear they take pride in keeping the place clean and organized. I also appreciate how attentive they are; if something needs fixing or restocking, it usually gets taken care of quickly.

I haven’t tried many group classes, but I’ve heard great things from other members. The personal trainers are knowledgeable and approachable, and I’ve seen firsthand how engaged they are with their clients. Pricing is fair for what you get, and the overall value—especially considering the quality of the equipment and the community vibe—makes it totally worth it.

If you’re looking for a gym that’s clean, well-equipped, and has a motivating energy, Powerhouse Mahwah delivers. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to show up, put in the work, and keep...

NOT WORTH IT, ONLY 24/7 IF YOU PAY EXTRA - The gym itself is decent enough, except for the cardio section which I'm not crazy about. You don't even have control over what you watch, and the staff shuts off the TVs after they leave. On that note, it's also not truly a 24-hour gym, you have to pay a little extra for that benefit. I'm paying around 50 a month for the base membership, because I think 80 is way too high (that's what you have to pay for 24/7 access). The staff leaves kind of early on the weekends which I feel is intentional to encourage people to sign up for the premium membership. When you sign up, you will have to put down a yearly fee, a one time sign up fee, your last month's gym membership fee, and the first months fee. I think my total to sign up was 450$. Then on top of the high sign up/ membership fees, you will be charged if a payment is declined (around $30 bucks). You also have to sign your name about 8-10 times for the contract (not exaggerating). If it weren't for these things, I'd give this gym four stars. I haven't been using the gym recently for reasons, and decided to cancel my membership to save some money. I asked to waive the yearly fee I was recently charged since I hadn't been going. They couldn't reimburse me the yearly fee because I "signed for it". In other words, 'tough luck, we...

SCAM ARTISTS! I believe they deliberately make it difficult for you to terminate your contract in the hopes that you will give up and continue to let them suck you dry at the rate of $52 a month plus a yearly fee.

You cannot do anything on the phone or online, all transactions have to be done in person!

My son signed up for a year-long membership, used the gym for a month and went back to New Hampshire for school. The monthly fee was transferred from his bank account to my credit card.

I asked if I could transfer his membership to my name so I could use the gym since he was not in New Jersey. I was told no.

I asked if I could freeze the account until my son was back in NJ. I was told yes but I had to pay a $10 monthly fee to stop the $52 payment and that would push the membership out another three months.

My son came back and restarted the membership. I called Powerhouse and asked how to terminate the membership when the year was up. I was specifically told "come in on February 16 in person to terminate and you will not get charged for the following month."

I went in person and first was told "you can't terminate, it has to be your son." Not possible since my son lives in NH. Then I was told "you still have to pay the $63 yearly fee and another $52 for February to terminate the contract." This is...
