Genesis Training LLC - DOWNTOWN

Fantastic experience: Not only is this gym spacious but the location is excellent, and they've got all the equipment you'd need, with convenient open hours. They also have small group classes. Austin and Betty do such a great job keeping the space well-ran and maintained. I train with Jess and she is fantastic with a wealth of knowledge and infectious energy she brings to our sessions.

Fantastic experience: Max is a fantastic trainer who pushes me and will always be my cheerleader. He is also a friend at this point. He tailors workouts to my needs and always hypes me up. When there are others in the gym everyone is welcoming and there is a community there. This is my first experience with a personal trainer and I can't say enough how amazing the experience has been.

Fantastic experience: The content and consultations looks promising. the diversified services they provide is for all range of audience which is good.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, very inviting place without the anxiety/pressure of big gyms. If you’ve been thinking about trying the hive, this is your sign to do it!

Fantastic experience: Been going here for several months and only have good things to say. Great trainers - shoutout to Ron and Betty! Clean and convenient space. Since my initial assessment with Betty (she was very knowledgeable, careful, and attentive) I knew it was a good spot. I've been working with Ami and couldn't be happier. She knows her stuff and continues to challenge me while also considering my goals and ability. Her professionalism and fun personality make workouts fly by. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I recently joined Genesis, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far! One of the standout features of this gym is its convenient location. It’s easily accessible, making it a breeze to fit workouts into my busy schedule. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. They create a safe space for beginners, which makes a huge difference in motivation. I want to give a special shoutout to Betty. Her expertise in strength-based training has been a game-changer for me. After dealing with disc-related issues due to a highly sedentary lifestyle, I was unsure about how to transition into active training. Betty has been guiding me through this process with her knowledge and support, helping me progress from healing to building strength effectively. In just a few sessions, I’ve noticed a drastic improvement in my strength thanks to her tailored approach, and I’m excited to continue my journey here. Overall, I highly recommend Genesis to anyone looking for a supportive environment to achieve their fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Great experience with Dorota at the downtown location. Beautiful space and a thoughtful approach to training

Fantastic experience: Great gym with clean facilities and a supportive atmosphere. Betty, Ami, and Sophia are always friendly and easy to talk to. They understand what I need and tailor their guidance to help me improve. I always feel motivated and well taken care of during each session.

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers! Great workouts!

Fantastic experience: Awesome spot. Great ppl & very convienent locations. Been training with them for 9 months now, can 100% vouch. Shout out to ma boi Rich.

Fantastic experience: Getting a personal trainer to help me get through the reluctance of working out again was a big step for me. I have suffered from sports injuries for years, and was worried that I might re-injure myself or worse. But the staff at Genesis training helped me get past the worries a lot quicker than I thought it would take. Austin helped ease my concerns, and helped me see a path through injury and uncertainty. And my trainer Delano helped me push through any mental walls I hit, always reminding me that pushing a little harder now will keep me on the right path in the future. I am grateful to have become a member of this great, positive crew.

Fantastic experience: I chose Genesis Training because they offered virtual 1-on-1 training sessions through video call. Finding a virtual trainer online was complicated so I appreciate the ease to find a trainer sign up for sessions at Genesis. I had my free session with Betty, who was very professional and knowledgeable. From there I knew I definitely wanted to work with Genesis Training. My trainer, Dorota, really helped me feel confident to workout at the gym and try new exercises with her guidance. She is friendly and also very knowledgeable about fitness and things like nutrition to build muscle. I have been working with her on body recomposition for 3-4 months and lost 10lbs and am very happy with my progress and how my physique looks now.

Fantastic experience: Genesis Training’s Journal Square hive gym has been an amazing gem to find since moving to the JSQ area. It’s well-designed, comfortable, and equipped with sold weights and equipment. Membership is totally reasonable; I was so pleased with the setup to be able participate in classes and get private equipment usage. Way higher value than going to a nearby big gym, like Blink. When joining, Austin (one of the owners, I believe), even did us a favor and showed us around the gym. Then, I’ve really enjoyed class sessions with Delano! He runs awesome HIIT and Sweat Surge sessions that are max 6 or 8 people, and they’ve been really well done. He has a great demeanor, provides thoughtful support, and knows when to push you! Anyway, after 4 weeks of being at Genesis, I’m super happy with it.

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Coach Sophia is very professional!

Fantastic experience: Betty is an exceptional physical therapist and trainer who helped me recover from pain and injury while getting stronger than ever. Her deep knowledge, encouragement, and genuine care made every session effective and empowering. I can’t recommend them enough!!

Fantastic experience: Genesis Training takes a very methodical approach to their training program. Before committing to a package, I had an assessment with Betty, who was incredibly thorough. She asked detailed questions about my training history, goals, and past injuries, and had me perform simple movements to assess my body. Betty’s professionalism, friendly demeanor, and great energy made the process enjoyable. Based on the assessment, she matched me with a trainer she believed would be the best fit. The structured and thoughtful approach convinced me to train with them, and I’m excited to start working with my trainer, Sophia, soon!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Betty Li and she is the best trainer I’ve had. I am 70 and have been working out and doing physical activity for years. Betty is so attentive and careful in designing and teaching the exercises and perfectly gauges the reps and amount of weight that is challenging and not too much! If you have a chance to work with her or with the other trainers at Genesis, please take advantage of this high quality & effective training. What a joy!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend their services enough! Betty has been both my personal trainer and physical therapist, and her expertise has truly transformed my life. A few years ago, I suffered a major injury that kept me from being physically active for a long time. As I recently started trying to get back on my feet, I found myself repeatedly getting injured. Betty’s approach was nothing short of brilliant. She designed a program tailored to my needs, focusing on strengthening my ankles and lower back while ensuring I could enjoy the sports (badminton and pickleball) and running I love without fear of future injuries. Her attention to detail was extraordinary—she observed every movement, corrected my posture, and pinpointed even the smallest mistakes during our sessions. Unlike traditional physical therapy programs that often follow a one-size-fits-all approach, Betty’s methods were dynamic and customized. Traditional therapies usually take much longer, but with Betty, I saw stunning results in just 8 sessions!. She created exercises that not only addressed my weaknesses but also made the process enjoyable. Thanks to her guidance, I’m now able to fully embrace the activities I love, and I continue to improve every day. Her services are out-of-pocket and not insurance-based, but there’s a good justification for it. I can confidently say this has been the best investment I’ve ever made. After trying multiple traditional therapies without much success, working with Betty has been a game-changer. If you’re looking to improve your lifestyle this place is the one.

Fantastic experience: My partner and I took personal training lessons with Delano at the JSQ location and are very happy with our decision! Delano is patient, knowledgeable and made sure we corrected our form when required. And as we were first timers, this 1-1 guidance familiarized us with the exercise routine and helped avoid any injury. The gym is spacious, well equipped and clean. Highly recommend!

Negative experience: Update: They lied about why they cancelled my classes three times in a row. (I booked two different trainers’ classes on Monday and they both got cancelled few hours before the starting time. The other one was supposed to be today, 9/26 at 12 pm) When I called them they said there was a conflict with other PT classes with my classpass classes. And I received an email today from them saying the trainers had to deal with some personal emergencies. Straight up lies. They cancelled my workout class three times in a row without a clear explanation. Feels like they are doing it on purpose to a class pass user.

Fantastic experience: Heard about Genesis from a friend who goes here regularly for years. I signed up for their trial group and 1:1 training classes, best decision ever! All trainers/instructors are competent, patient, accommodating, and made working out fun. Gym is well equipped, not far from JSQ. They have a downtown location as well. If you are hesitant, go for their free consultation session, see it for yourself!

Fantastic experience: I am taking private PT lessons with Betty and it has been awesome so far. She is very knowledgable, makes sure your form is 100% correct. Her way of physical therapy is the best and focused around strengthening of muscles. She listens to your pain/injury issues and designs exercise plan accordingly.I highly recommend practicing with her. There is no other PT who is as efficient and great as her!

Fantastic experience: Had my first workout class at Genesis recently and can confirm it was the best workout I’ve ever had. Delano is an exceptional trainer who listened to my goals and catered an intense but manageable workout that aimed to help me improve what I needed to work on most. He was very intuitive and got a sense of my limits while encouraging me to push out of my comfort zone. That’s the kind of training you don’t see very often, and it was a great experience! Their new location in Journal Square is very nice as well, having every piece of equipment I needed. Will be coming back!

Fantastic experience: The staff at Genesis have been great in training me to become stronger and lose over 40 pounds in the past few months. My Trainer Richard has been an important part of my weight loss journey. I could not have done it without Genesis Training and would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone trying to achieve their fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: We've been training with Austin, Betty, and their senior trainers for several years now. The trainers are always professional and prepared. Over the last few years, I've definitely gotten stronger because of the consistent strength training. Not only does this location have a full gym for strength training sessions, it also has a PT / pilates studio. The trainers here personalize every session according to your goals and how your body is doing. I'd definitely recommend Genesis Training if you are in the JC area

Fantastic experience: Genesis is an amazing with tons of space and equipment. I have really enjoyed my time there. I also did one on one training— Trainers are exceptional—friendly, knowledgeable, and a joy to work with. Betty's expertise in physical therapy was particularly invaluable for me, as I was dealing with back pain before coming to her, and wasn't sure which exercises to do. She guided me in strengthening specific muscle groups in my back, which not only improved my posture but also helped with my pain. Highly recommend for anyone looking for training or a local gym to exercise.

Fantastic experience: Big thanks to Kathy for getting me back into the swing of things post the arrival of my little one. She motivated to me to show up and helped me rebuild the necessary foundational skills to get back in shape. Really can’t thank her enough!

Fantastic experience: Betty is simply fantastic. I had seen 2 other PTs for my shoulder pain before finding Betty and I saw more improvements in 4 weeks with her than I had in the prior 6 months with other professionals. Details: 1) Betty has a strength based approach to PT i.e. you won't just be stretching for an hour or laying there with a hot towel on your neck; 2) She takes the time to explain body mechanics + gives detailed feedback/notes for homework; 3) Every session had progression and new exercises so you feel like you're learning all the time; 4) The facility is lovely - I liked that it is small (limited to 3 users at a time) so you don't feel like you're in a fishbowl and it's easier to focus.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Betty for almost two years! She is a professional physical therapist and personal trainer. I learned something new every time when I trained with her. I highly recommend the gym and the trainers!

Fantastic experience: This new gym is spacious and clean. The people in there are quite friendly and answer any questions. Definitely lookin to come back!

Fantastic experience: Super cool place to work out and hang out. The space is big and they even have a second floor with PT and a studio for classes. The trainers and Austin and Betty are really good and fun to be around. Definitely more personable here than at other places I’ve been to.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Genesis physical therapist and trainer Betty Li for a number of months and can't recommend her highly enough. Betty has helped me greatly improve long-standing issues with posture, gait, balance and strength. She also has a sunny personality and is great fun to work with.

Fantastic experience: I've become a "regular" at Genesis over the years for cupping services with Austin. Austin is respectful and thorough, and the results are so much more targeted and enduring than a massage. I recommend Austin and Genesis to everyone I know! Updated to include: I recently started physical therapy here with Betty, and the 5 star service continues. I’ve felt so supported and have made marked improvement. Couldn’t recommended Genesis more!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love working with trainer Kathy Perez and look forward to each training sessions as one of the highlights of my week. Kathy is warm, engaging and generous with her extensive knowledge. She knows exactly how to motivate me, taking the time to demonstrate each exercise and connecting them back to my health needs and goals. I’ve already seen an increase in my flexibility snd strength. Training with Kathy is changing my life outside the gym as well. Her enthusiasm helps me start every day with positive intention. I’m looking forward to training with Kathy for the foreseeable future. She’s simply the best!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my time at Genesis. I wanted to lose weight for my wedding. Kathy was my trainer, she was great! She was very flexible with scheduling time with me as I had a busy schedule; she came to my building as it has gym to train me so I didn't have leave to go anywhere. For someone who does not workout, Kathy was great at teaching and educating me about muscle groups. She explained what each exercise worked which muscle. With Kathy's help I was able tone my body and reach my goal weight just time for my wedding! Anyone who is a beginner highly recommend Kathy as a trainer, she will get you results!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Genesis training for almost 3 years, starting when I was 6 months post-partum, first with Austin and then with Betty. Everyone at Genesis is kind, professional, extremely reliable and also just fun to be around. They tailor my workouts to my needs and goals, and they are always just challenging enough without pushing over the edge (I don’t love working out in general). They are accommodating to my schedule as a working mom, which has been great for keeping me consistent. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for individualized training programs in Jersey City, look no further than Genesis Training. This is hands down the best experience I've had with any trainers or training program ever. After having rotator cuff surgery in 2022, I needed help getting back into shape again, but I also needed someone who understood my injury to help me strengthen areas of body without re-injuring myself. Their trainers are knowledgeable and motivating. They worked to establish long term and short term goals for my fitness journey. They also provide access to their fitness app with daily customized workouts you can do at home or at the gym when you aren't working directly with the trainers. You can track your progress, as well as meals and/or a nutrition plan. After almost a year, I have more mobility and strength all around. I'm able to box again comfortably after my shoulder surgery and I am finally getting back down to my fighting weight. Highly recommend if you're looking to get fit, stronger, more mobile. And if you have any pre existing injuries definitely schedule time with Betty! Her Physical Therapy background has been a game changer.

Fantastic experience: I want to keep this succinct but have so much praise for Genesis, The Hive & my trainer, Betty Li. For anyone who just wants to feel better, physically, mentally and emotionally, I cannot recommend their services enough. Whatever your fitness goals are, they will tailor a program for you that is easy to follow, (but requires hard work) and you will see & feel results. I would give them ten stars.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Robbie for over the past year. He's been great to work with, doing everything you'd want in a trainer - spotting your technique, having great convos during rest, and being very genuine in general. Since training with him, I have lost weight and my lifts have all increased a material amount. I give him my highest recommendation!

Fantastic experience: Shoutout to Robbie and team. Robbie helped me achieve my goals whilst keeping me motivated and accountable.

Fantastic experience: Gorgeous gym with brand new equipment. Anyone who powerlifts will love the thoughtful details. Timers in every squat rack to track rest time. Rogue bars and number plates. There’s a wide variety of kettlebells, and adjustable dumbbells. There’s a rower, assault bike and versa climber. Bathroom and shower also inside. Perfect for a solo lift or to train clients

Fantastic experience: Lost 20lbs in 12 weeks with Jess, she’s the best!

Fantastic experience: Anthony is a great guy and great trainer, he really helps me stay motivated!

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers!

Fantastic experience: Best private gym in jersey city with personal trainers that are really encouraging!

Fantastic experience: I like working in a facility with all the equipment I need to accomplish every workout I have in a session. The trainers are great too!

Fantastic experience: I loved my workout sessions with Robbie at Genesis from the beginning. My goals were simple, I wanted to tone and become stronger physically. After a year of working with Robbie I was lifting over half my weight size which helped me to scale down in my weight size. Robbie was great at challenging me and meeting me where I was at mentally to help me see I can meet my goals. Great communication, reliable and all around amazing trainer! I’m so glad I found Robbie and Genesis Training!

Fantastic experience: I've been working with personal trainer Jessica for about 3 months and I'm really amazed with her training. Her knowledge of yoga and strength training really helped to improve my flexibility and mental health. You can tell she really cares about her clients. The app they use is really useful too!

Fantastic experience: I've been training for 4 months and have been very satisfied with my results. My primary goal was weight loss and now my pre Covid clothes fit again. I also have way more energy throughout the day. Working with a personal trainer gave me the push I needed.

Fantastic experience: Best fitness company in the area, their team is super knowledgeable and passionate about living a healthier lifestyle through weight loss and strength training. Highly recommend if you are looking for a personal trainer.

Fantastic experience: "By far the best personal trainers in Jersey City! They really care about my physical and mental health. Plus the workouts are challenging but fun"

Fantastic experience: I had a cupping session done on my shoulder/upper back at Genesis Training by Austin and it went very well. He seemed very knowledgeable and asked a lot of questions to pinpoint what was bothering my shoulder exactly and I must say it helped tremendously. After three days it’s still good and I will go back if it starts bothering me again.

Fantastic experience: First time trying cupping massage and it was amazing. Never knew my shoulders could feel so loose!

Fantastic experience: Just one 30 minute cupping session on my neck and shoulders was more effective and longer lasting than any massage or acupuncture treatment I've ever tried! I received the treatment a few days ago and I still feel relief from any pain or stiffness. I plan to make cupping a regular part of my health maintenance routine.

Fantastic experience: Austin and his team at Genesis Training are excellent. Genesis Training tailors the workouts and fitness plan to the individual client. They also offer various forms of manual therapy, which is another benefit of training with them. Austin is an extremely knowledgeable and skilled manual therapist, who has helped me with with chronic back pain and joint issues.

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and professional trainers, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I exercised all my life and thought I knew it all until Emmanuel become my trainer. He is an expert at form and designing the program. He really cares about his clients.

Fantastic experience: Genesis Training is helping me achieve my fitness goals after having a baby and it goes even beyond my training sessions. I have a personalized app that I can track my meals (with customized macros), additional activities, and communicate directly with my trainer/ fitness group to keep me accountable. Genesis Training also partners with a local meal delivery program to make it even easier to track. From day one I felt comfortable with my trainers approach as he was sensitive to the fact that I was a new mom regaining my strength in a safe way after giving birth. The Genesis Training team is helping me greatly to stick with the program to change my overall lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: Used Austin's services to help me prepare for a Jiu-Jitsu tournament during the Fall season. The focus was on strength training and it helped significantly. From the workouts to the progressions each week, it definitely complimented what I was looking for. I would recommend his services to anyone interested in a strength training program

Fantastic experience: Emmanuel is knowledgeable, well mannered, punctual and greatly helped me establish a suitable fitness routine. I learned a lot beyond the standard fitness tips that I hope to carry with me for years to come.

Fantastic experience: I took a my personal trainer for 30 session which were done by Emmanuel.. I felt as need of correcting good posture and strong body figure, which is why I took this sessions. .Emmanuel was just perfect pleasure attitude good manner always on time. Also, he knew exactly what I need for my body need and what foods to eat. . After 30 session even my friend notice how I lost weight. Also, I find myself feeling better, standing up straighter, and walking in more enjoyable position. I'm so happy took a personal trainee, it is worthy for my time. I strongly recommend taking these courses with Emmanuel. He is a great, has lots of energy, and a bright mindset..i felt very comfortable working together with him. I'll give him five stars Seja Lee

Fantastic experience: Genesis training has been great! Austin is a fantastic trainer who helps you to reach your fitness/health goals. He is very knowledgeable and attentive and caters each workout to you! I have only been going for a couple weeks and can already see a difference in my body!

Fantastic experience: My fiance and I decided that we needed to get in shape. I was very apprehensive at first. I've never really exercised in any meaningful way before, but Austin has been a wonderful trainer! He'll push you while keeping in mind what your body can and cannot do (yet!). He's very mindful of my bad knees and is ready to give alternative exercises when he sees that I am struggling with pain. On top of all that, my fiance and I are feeling stronger, healthier, and looking better too! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy working with Austin. I went to him to get me in wedding shape and I've been happy I did. Even only 5 weeks in I notice a difference in how I feel, the energy I have, and my body, though I still have a way to go. Austin has been great about working with a few health issues like bad knees without sacrificing the workout, and actually helping to mitigate those issues. He's been available when I want to talk about anything health-related. I always leave my workouts with him feeling good about what I accomplished, if tired and sore.

Fantastic experience: Workouts are tailored to where I'm at physically. I strongly recommend Austin.

Fantastic experience: Austin is a great trainer! He designed an individual workout program for me specifically tailored to address my goals and adjusted for my level of fitness. He supported my workout program by providing nutritional guidance which is key in fitness success. He made the same recommendations as to how to enhance my workout program as my physical therapist which meant to me that Austin in addition to being certified personal trainer has expertise comparable to a doctor of physical therapy. I am confident that Austin is highly qualified and motivated to ensure you reach your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Austin at Genesis is a great trainer and the workout space is conveniently located at Brunswick Center. It’s clean and brand new.
