Shogun Fitness ACT

Great box, great coaches = great community. Have been a member for over 3 years and can't even begin to cover the amount of progress and transition over time. I knew from the very beginning this would be my new fitness home. They have always been very welcoming, supportive, encouraging and smart about their programming. Need motivation to workout? Definitely check this place out. Everyone, staff and clients, will welcome you with open arms and will never make you feel like you can't do anything you set your mind to.

I was recently in New Jersey for business and needed a CrossFit Gym to drop in at. I called CrossFit A.C.T. and Bill was extremely welcoming and allowed me to come the next day. The gym was awesome and the people were even better. Bill is a great coach and programmed a tough WOD.... but just as importantly he made sure everyone was warmed up and completing the movements correctly to start the class. If you are looking for a gym with great coaches and great members where everyone wants you to get better....this is your CrossFit box

I fell in love with this gym on day ONE! The owner allowed me to jump in on a Saturday class and I signed up right after! No hesitation. I knew this was what I was looking for. Classes are supervised by super knowledgeable coaches. I know exactly what workout I will be doing every time I go, so good bye to paying an arm and a leg for a personal trainer only 3 days a week. I get my workouts created for me every day of the week! I’ve been here now for 5 years and still love it. I lost 25 lbs and maintained that weight loss for all these years (even after having a baby)

Oh and another big plus, it beats waiting for a machine at my local gym!!! I love the this place. I knew it would be my home after my first day there.

ACT is an awesome organization - it's more than just a gym. The owner and the coaches are experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate about fitness and well-being. They have really created an awesome community atmosphere where you can participate in classes as well as other activities (like BBQs!) with members. Even during the state closure they have been finding creative ways to encourage members and help us keep moving with at home work outs. If you're in search of a new gym to call home they will make you feel like you've been apart of their fitness fam for years and help you reach your goals.

If you are nervous about CrossFit call Coach Bill, He'll make you feel at home and you will meet some wonderful people as you get fit! SHOGUN FITNESS ACT is more than a CrossFit gym. Coach Bill and the team of coaches are committed to getting the best out of every member. The facility is amazing!! It is very spacious, clean and safe.

I started working out at Shogun Fitness ACT over 10 years ago and it has changed my life. I was intimidated at first, but everyone was so welcoming and encouraging, that I soon forgot I was 20-30 years older than everyone else there. I have since developed a love for weight training...something I had never done before in my life. The coaches are incredible and have motivated me to keep trying new things...like climbing a rope and doing a handstand pushup...things I had never attempted before in my life. The joy of being able to learn new things at any age is wonderful, but at 68 years old, it is thrilling! I don't mind getting up early for the 5:30 AM class and can't wait to check the app to see what the workout of the day is. I love the positive energy generated by the coach as well as the other members working out with me. I leave class happy that I have survived another workout (LOL!!!) and feeling wonderful from the endorphin rush. This sets me up to face the challenges of the day as the director of a home care agency. I can't say enough good things about Shogun Fitness ACT...they are an incredibly important part of my life!

I was a member back in 2015 and had to move due to my job but I recently re-joined this facility because I moved back. I missed this place so much and it was a top priority for me to come back, there is no other fitness club like this one. The staff, coaches, facility and workouts are phenomenal and well organized. I’ve experienced other facilities and they do not compare to Shogun, those other places can learn a lot from Shogun. I’m so happy to be back and part of this fantastic club! AAA+

Great gym with great coaching! I was in the area for a wedding and needed a place to workout. Right away I felt welcomed. I did my strength on the side, and received some tips from the trainer on how to tweak my form for some better lifts. Then I decided to jump into the class WOD and had a blast. Highly recommend joining or visiting this gym if you're in the area. Will definitely be going back to visit!

This gym is unlike any I’ve ever been a part of. It will very quickly become your home away from home. The facility is clean, the coaches are super knowledgeable and able to coach athletes of any level, the classes are fun and the programming is well rounded. You will walk out feeling accomplished...every single time.

Shogun Fitness is an awesome gym but more importantly, a community. The coaching staff is attentive and passionate about what they teach. Classes are intense and fun. You get to meet all walks of life and create amazing friendships while taking care of your health. It’s a safe space that strives for inclusivity and equity in fitness.

I’ve been going to Shogun fitness for about 9 years on and off. I get a great workout every time I go. All of the coaches are very knowledgeable and go above and beyond to make sure their clients are performing the workouts correctly. They cover al thel bases from Olympic lifting, gymnastic movements, powerlifting, cardio, mobility and yoga. Whether you’re a lifelong gym rat like myself or a first time fitness enthusiast, I highly recommend this place for people of all fitness levels.

This is my first experience with crossfit as I came to this gym from a powerlifting gym. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to join this gym. Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable and they make you feel very welcome when you come in. Jess, Bill and all the coaches are amazing!! If you are in the area, I highly recommend you check out this box!

Crossfit ACT = United Nations of Fitness. Never really being physically fit, I was easily intimidated. However, the coaches and members at the box make everyone at every ability feel welcome. They make the experience manageable and even fun. I am seeing results faster than I'd thought, and I am always learning something new with the top notch instruction. Although I have a long way to go, Crossfit ACT is THE place that will help me reach my fitness goals.

I first came to ACT about 4 years ago as my first experience with Crossfit. I've been a member ever since, finding it to be the top facility in Bergen County for Crossfit, with incredible coaches, a clean facility, and well-maintained equipment, all things I've found lacking in other spots. I've dropped into a few dozen boxes whenever I travel or for competitions and am always happy to return to ACT. Some interesting bonuses include a good array of Strongman equipment; including 2 Logs, Atlas Stones, Sandbags, Axle Bars, Farmers Handles, and Tires. So any traveling Strongman should check this place out for a drop-in.

I am not a typical Crossfitter and I do not care. Back in 2013 I was looking for a gym where I can get personal attention and work with a staff who genuinely and passionately cared about my health and progression. I receive all that and more here. It is a very positive atmosphere and from the very minute I arrive till I leave I am pushed and motivated to give 110% every time yet I receive vital instruction to improve my form and not injure myself. So although I may not be making it to the Crossfit games anytime soon, my health, energy and overall self confidence has improved and safe to say I will be a member for a very very long time, if not life.

I’ve been a member for over 7 years and this gym has changed my life. When you need a place to clear your mind, have a few laughs and lift heavy, Shogun Fitness ACT is the Mecca of all that. Your coaches become family. Aside from squatting heavy and PR’ing often, I found the love of my life and welcomed a new member to the world. 5 stars isn’t enough for this community!

My brother has been at Crossfit ACT for over two years now, and he is the reason why I joined this box. He always told me to join because he knew I would love it, and he was right. They are the most welcoming group of people. Before coming here, I never did any sort of Olympic lifting or any crossfit type of exercises so I was a bit hesitant but the coaches here instantly made me feel like I was able to do any of the movements or exercises. They pride themselves on teaching proper form and technique. With their help, I am now able to do workouts and do Olympic lifts I never thought I would be doing. They have also helped develop my love for crossfit. The best part of this box is that I developed such great friendships along the way with other members and the coaches.

I've been a member for over 2 years and it's by far the best decision I've made. There's nothing like walking in every day to amazing coaches and a supportive atmosphere, where everyone wants to see each other work hard and meet their goals. I am also involved in the olympic lifting program and I've made incredible improvements in strength and form. This is the best I've ever felt in my life, and I have everyone at ACT to thank for that.

Was in town to visit my girlfriend, and we dropped into a saturday WOD and I came back on a monday. Got a chance to meet Bill and Jess, the owners on sat. They were so welcoming to my girlfriend and myself! Bill even followed up with a call the next day to see how our experience was! That has only happened once before in the 10+ other boxes around the US I've dropped in at over the last year since starting CF! When I can back today, I did a WOD with coach Taf, and he really helped clean up some of my Oly technique, and was a great coach. The box itself is well equipped and clean. If I were a local, I would definitely have this on my short list to call my home box! The other members were also extremely welcoming!

Thanks again to everyone at Crossfit A.C.T. for making our experience so enjoyable!

I started working out at ACT last year and have seen huge improvements in all of my lifts, not just PR's but also better form. I highly recommend this box. All of the coaches are amazing and will help you with anything you're struggling on. I've been doing one on one sessions with Jess for a couple of months now, just to really learn the OLY moves. If I could post before and after videos on here I would. I went from atrocious (never having done this in my life) to finally moving through the lifts correctly. I have also seen a change in my body- more toning and strength. Check them out!!!
