Island Gym Northfield
Update
September 14, 2020
Dear Island Gym Members, Friends, and Family,
There is sadly no other way to put into words the reality that Island Gym Northfield has lost the battle with COVID-19. Effective today, September 14th, 2020 Island Gym Northfield has officially decided not to reopen. Believe us when we say, we had made every effort possible to negotiate with our landlord and creditors over the financial hardship placed upon us by the State of New Jersey due to the forced closure between March 16th to September 1st. The heartache and loss we feel is incomprehensible.
Over the past 17 years, Island Gym Northfield was our second home, our safe place. No matter what was transpiring in the world, no recession, storm, or struggle could break our Island Gym Strong community.
Within these walls we’ve witnessed beautiful friendships and relationships start, we’ve watched amazing families grow, and experienced life’s ups and downs together. We’ve seen smiles passed along, hugs shared, tears shed, and most of all lives being lived while goals were attained each and every day. We hope and pray that somehow, someway we were able to affect as many lives as possible in a healthy and positive way.
While most gyms nationwide normally struggle to succeed due to the over-saturation of gyms, smaller training studios, and home fitness trends; the fight was always worth it for us. However, although we fought and rose above many years of changing economies, casino closures, new gym openings, etc. COVID-19 was one battle we could not win!
Our heart is hurt at the moment, but after all storms, there is a rainbow. Let’s all use our gift of life to focus on the good and not the bad these past few months have brought. We are still a community and will forever be family. Island Gym Northfield will always mean something to the thousands of us that called it home for almost two decades.
We might be down but by no means out. Please rest assure that Island Gym Ventnor is very much alive and kicking. Through our pain of losing Northfield, we’ve been focusing on Ventnor, upgrading equipment, repairing the cracked foundation floors, and renovating. We’re extremely excited and already receiving tremendous support for our upcoming reopening Mid-October.
Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the countless memories and friendships made in Island Gym Northfield. We sincerely thank the amazing staff, instructors, and trainers, for whom without them Island Gym would not be possible. I wish I could list and thank them all personally.
Of course, everyone’s membership will be valid in Ventnor for those who choose to stay. Every member, both Ventnor, and Northfield will be automatically given a free membership for the time we were closed plus a significant membership discount for the inconvenience. Who knows, maybe soon after the world finds a sense of normalcy, we can plan on bringing Island Gym back to the Northfield area. But until then, we wish everyone peace, love, and the best of health.
In the meantime, please stay happy and healthy. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please email us at memberservices@islandgym.com.
We love and miss you already,
Island Gym, ownership, and team.
YES! YES! YES!

How should the people who prepaid for private training/fit x and never got to use them proceed? I’ve sent numerous Facebook messages and emails and have not gotten a response.
Very sad. EHT gone, Absecon gone, now Northfield. Ventnor not easy for those on the western side of county.
Same here I prepaid my monthly for 6 months !, how can I get the money back ?. And Ventnor is too far for me !. I don’t think I’m able to use that gym .
I emailed months ago to cancel my membership. How can I confirm this? Who can I contact? You make it impossible to reach anyone.
I also paid for six months how can I get refund back because Ventnor and Absecon is too far for me .
Still have not received an email back.

Thank you for the update. Looking forward to returning !!
So many great memories in this gym! Sad to see it go ! 😢 Best of luck to ventnor gym ! Well wishes to you guys ! 🙏🏻
So sad. Great memories for me.
How should the people who prepaid for private training/fit x and never got to use them proceed? I’ve sent numerous Facebook messages and emails and have not gotten a response.
A sad day but an understandable decision. Thank you for the memories
All the money poured in to the Northfield gym and the decision was made to keep the smaller and much farther Ventnor gym?? Tilton Fitness closed which leaves potentially thousands of new members for Island. Northfield would be back on it's feet within a few months, easily. To be brutally honest, of all the closing decisions this gym has made, this one is, by far, the most nonsensical.
Just an FYI.. The state pays for a portion of medical services for those that get sick and are without health insurance. So for the state to proactively protect the health of it’s citizens and the ability for community hospitals to remain open to serve our community as well as the state’s economy.. I wouldn’t entirely blame the state for the closure of the gym.
Best of Luck in Ventnor!
How do we get reemburst for paying up front for the year??? I'm a long standing member. I should be reimbursed for 6 months.
So sorry.
That stinks. My son paid for a month before the freeze but I’ll y’all can keep that. Times are tough
I’ve called and emailed.. no response...how do I get reimbursed???
Love this gym, it’s had the best boxing/kick boxing class I ever took
This is literally the worse news. Only thing I was looking forward to doing again.
Still no response. Can somebody reply to my emails/Facebook messages.
Can I get my money back?
Shame...

Why so long? All the other local gyms opened today. Last post said you were ready to open when gov. lifted the closings?
How do I cancel my membership
Why 1 month later than allowed?
Is there gonna be fit x still ?

Why not today

Admin of this page: please remove Mike O'Hernia for harassment. Thank you.
Hello. How do I go about processing a refund for a three month fit x training package that I paid for in March and never get to utilize due to COVID-19. I won’t be returning to the gym so can somebody get back to me as soon as possible, as I’ve been trying to get a hold of somebody for a couple of months now.
Didn’t you guys just sell all your equipment and shut down behind your clients backs??
