What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this gym are sharply divided. Enthusiastic members praise its extensive variety of workout equipment, numerous classes offered throughout the day (including pool workouts), childcare options, and a generally welcoming environment. They often find the facilities clean, the pool comfortable, and the staff warm, suggesting that the higher membership fee is justified by the wide range of amenities and excellent experience, and advise prospective members to disregard negative online reviews. Conversely, a significant number of members express profound dissatisfaction, primarily citing issues with cleanliness and facility maintenance. Recurring complaints include "disgusting" and "dangerous" locker rooms with mold and scum, dirty bathrooms, non-functional showers, broken gym equipment, and a swimming pool heater that has been out of order for weeks. Many feel that the high monthly cost is not justified by these poor conditions. Customer service is also a major point of contention, with members reporting a lack of responsiveness to health and safety concerns, disorganization with membership accounts (e.g., key fob delays, incorrect account activation), and difficulties with cancellations. Some experienced subpar and unwelcoming classes, and a long-term member attributed a significant decline in quality to the acquisition by Genesis, noting similar issues at other locations.

I wanted to add a good review of this place because like most businesses, people only bother to review the bad, and I almost didn’t bother taking a tour due to reading all the bad ones — I’m glad I didn’t listen and went to see for myself because TAC is great!! I joined recently after touring the beautiful facilities and am very happy there. Yes the price is higher than your standard $10-$40 month memberships so if all your looking to do is lift a couple weights and get on a basic treadmill stay at those, but if you want a variety of workout equipment and all the classes you can think of going on at the same time multiple times of the day, pool workouts included, this is the place!! They have EVERYTHING. I had such a hard time finding a gym that had classes I enjoyed and/or worked with my schedule (full-time working mom). This place finally has it. Multiple classes going on at all times of the day and child care if I need it in a clean space—and at a reasonable rate. I have used the pool, the temperature is comfortable. The locker rooms are fine, honestly I don’t know what some of the reviewers are talking about. A locker room is a locker room, and this probably the nicest one I’ve seen. All of the employees, instructors and clientele have been nothing but warm and welcoming, which is a lot more than I can say for other boutique style gyms I’ve attended that charge the same rate and not nearly the amenities. I have always loathed going to the gym and now I’m searching the schedule every day to see when I can get back. If you’re looking for a place with lots of options to fit your schedule, or if you’re on the fence because you read poor Google reviews, don’t trust the complainers and go see it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed!

Locker rooms at this gym are absolutely disgusting. I have made several attempts to reach out and inquire about updates/cleanliness but nobody has responded they just say “Hello! Please be on the lookout in the near future for an email about updates that will be coming to our Manasquan location!” They charge an absurd amount of money per month to have locker room facilities with mold and scum. Poor condition of bathroom/ locker facilities should be enough to keep you away. Shameful they charge so much and have no apparent interest to keep their clients safe and update the locker rooms.

Love the luxurious amenities and service. The indoor saline pool is like swimming through velvet. The facilities are clean and welcoming. Excellent instructors, life guards, and support staff. Cleaning staff are visible, friendly, and manage to keep it sparkling. It’s a great place to work out, then relax in a great atmosphere.

BEWARE! DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM! Please consider all of the reviews before joining this gym. My experience has been and continues to be a nightmare. I have emailed and expressed my sanitary and safety concerns for months with no response. This gym was quick to respond and charge me when I was joining but crickets to concerns/cancellation. Let me spell out some of my experience: 1. There seems to be quite the disorganization and lack of training with many of the employees. I came in at the end of October 2024 to sign up for a membership. From November until March I was told every time that I came in that my key fob and member id was still not available. For months I wasn't even in the system. When a front desk employee finally was able to help me in March, it turns out my old account from Red Bank (I hadn't been a member since 2020) had been activated instead of my new membership, address, etc. None of my info had been updated except for payment. 2. This left me with a bit of unease. For months I came to the gym, went to classes, went to the sauna, and had to explain to the front desk every time that I was waiting for my info to be in the system and they would let me in. To me, this raised safety concerns. I could be anyone and when I am in the gym and in the locker room, I want to feel safe and not like anyone could just find their way in so easily. 3. One of the reasons I left my former gym was because I wanted the opportunity to take more variety of classes. I found many of the classes and instructors sub par and frankly, not welcoming. I tried to put myself out there and meet individuals in the classes and the instructor and it often felt like since I hadn't been a member for years, that I was disregarded or blown off. I want a sense of community and was sorely disappointed in this area. 4. Another reason I left my former gym is to be able to have access to a locker, sauna, etc. After a handful of sessions in the sauna and locker room services, I decided that the level of cleanliness was in fact dangerous to my health. Mold was growing most places and often the area appeared dirty. Almost every time I used the sauna, showers, and locker room, I felt sick for days. I am highly allergic to molds and it significantly affected my health. And now the ongoing disregard and refusal to consider any of this. BEWARE! DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM! For the cost of membership, it is not worth one penny.

I've been a member since 1990 and it's always been excellent however since Genesis bought the business the quality of the facility has really dropped. Several of the showers don't work, the bathrooms are dirty, the swimming pool heater has been broken for several weeks etc. The gym equipment breaks and there doesn't seem to be any move to fix them. It's so disappointing. I see several people have also been writing complaints and I'm not surprised. This seems to be a business wide situation because there are similar complaints about Genesis gyms in other states.
