The level of skill and compassion of each instructor helps you become aware of your own abilities and overcome the trepidation of challenging yourself to achieve a higher level of fitness. I love it.

I lost some weight, my blood pressure normalized, my arthritic knees almost never hurt and I have much more energy and stamina for both work and play.

My time is my most precious commodity. You can go to your huge gym with no guidance, or you can go to The Lift where your exercises are guided and targeted to get results!

I've met great people and made lifelong friends here who have helped me keep strong all of these years. I truly consider everyone at The Lift to be my family.

See What More of Your Neighbors Have To Say About The Lift
After being away from the gym for years, I was nervous about getting back into fitness. Getting back into it felt intimidating at first, but the trainers here have been absolutely amazing from day one. What sets this place apart is how thoughtful and individualized their approach is with each member. They took time to understand my goals and where I was starting from, making sure I felt comfortable and wasn't thrown into workouts I wasn't ready for. They really do celebrate small wins and focus on consistency rather than expecting miracles overnight. Since joining I've felt increasingly better about my physical fitness, and more importantly, my confidence in my physical abilities has improved dramatically. The trainers keep you accountable while making every session something you will actually look forward to. If you're hesitant about getting back into fitness, or you are looking for somewhere to elevate what you’ve already built, this is the place. The staff genuinely cares about your individual journey and creates an environment where you can succeed at your own pace. Couldn't recommend The Lift Gym more highly!
I have always been an active person. Working out for me started to become more of something I had to do when I turned 40. I needed an outlet not only for my body but also my mind. Unfortunately, there is only so much you can do in your garage. I wanted to gain muscle and the only way I could see myself doing that was having a trainer. I wanted to be motivated and consistent with my workouts. I also needed someone to help guide me with progressive overload and teach me proper form. This is when I reached out to the Lift Gym. From that first phone call with Kathy. I felt at ease. I remember the first few times going for a session. I was a bit nervous and wasn’t really sure what to expect. It’s been almost 4 months since I started and I can’t say enough good things about my experience and just my overall results! I have gained some muscle and some confidence just being in that environment. Matt, Kathy, and Matt V have been amazing to learn from and they continue to motivate me to show up! Even when the weather is snowy and you’re not feeling up for the challenge, I still find myself looking forward to going and at the end of the day I’m so proud of myself. I would highly recommend the Lift Gym to everyone!
I love The Lift Gym. I’ve been going here for 12+ years because I don’t have to create my own workout. The workouts vary each day from cardio, lower body, upper body, strength, and agility. Matt and Kathy Jennings have built a team of coaches that are knowledgeable, personal, and fun!! Because of the close community atmosphere of The Lift Gym I can honestly say that I have met some of my best friends from becoming a member. If your goal is to get your heart rate up, sweat, feel stronger, and do something for yourself then I highly recommend giving The Lift Gym a try!!! I think they even offer a free trial period!!! Maybe it’s time to invest in yourself!!!
I joined The Lift over two years ago. I loved it from the moment I joined. The owners Matt and Kathy are welcoming and make you feel so comfortable whether you are a beginner or workout regularly. All the trainers are fantastic, experienced and will motivate and encourage you to challenge yourself and correct you. Another thing I love is there are people of all ages, young and older and everyone fits in. The members are wonderful and everyone encourages each other. If you are looking for a gym I highly I recommend you try The Lift, you have nothing to lose only gains!
I joined The Lift Gym several years ago and have been consistently impressed. As a former gym owner in upstate NY, I maintain high standards and expectations for trainers. One of the most notable challenges in the fitness industry is motivating members effectively, and this team excels in that regard. I have been a member of several gyms in the area and although I am trained with proper training methods, I often left the gym without completing my workout due to my lack of motivation. At The Lift Gym, once I arrive, they take over. The team provides motivation, guidance and oversight. I experience intermittent back issues and the trainers regularly provide alternative exercises for activities that I am unable to perform. The workouts are succinct and do not extend over lengthy periods of time. These sessions are concise and carefully designed to maximize efficiency, ensuring participants receive a comprehensive and balanced workout. Finally, The Lift Gym offers members valuable opportunities for networking and building new relationships. The gym actively engages with the surrounding communities and has developed its own supportive community fostering both a positive atmosphere and an effective space for exercise. I love The Lift Gym!
The Lift Gym is unlike any other. I am stronger, healthier and happier than I have been since joining 8 months ago. It is truly possible to look forward to working out, feeling challenged and seeing results you no thought were possible. Owners Kathy and Matt and their amazing team of trainers provide expertise and support and have created a true fitness community where all are welcome. If you’ve given up on wasted gym memberships elsewhere, if you think your gym days are behind you, if you don’t know how to get started on your own- you really owe it to yourself to visit The Lift. You won’t be disappointed.
I’ve belonged to Lift gym for a year now. It has been a much needed boost to my flexibility and stamina. A quick story: Several years ago, I hiked Superstition Mountains in Arizona. It was not an easy hike, I needed many breaks along the way. I’ve just retuned from another year of Spring Training in AZ, hiked the same trail, and I was not winded, sore or tired at the end of the hike. Next year I intend to go to the top, a hike called Flatiron. A lofty goal when I’ll be almost 67 years old but one I’m sure I can obtain. I credit Lift and it’s incredible staff for giving me the ability to continue such an active lifestyle.
The lift gym has helped me gain my confidence and strength back in myself. All of the coaches push you to be better than you were the day before. I appreciate Matt and Kathy for their support and guidance in my fitness journey! Definitely check them out!
A huge shout-out to The Lift Gym! As a former group exercise instructor who used to be a total "cardio queen," I couldn’t be happier to have found a gym that could make me feel as strong as I do after just a little over a year as a member. Thanks to the incredible team here, I have completely changed the way I workout, and I feel great! Every single coach is wonderful and truly pays attention to the specific needs of each client. The strategic programming of every workout is phenomenal and has made all the difference in my strength and ability to remain injury free. The community here is fantastic, too—a great crew of members to work out with. If you're looking for a gym that's supportive, smart, and genuinely invested in your success, this is the place.
The LIFT Gym is more than just a place to workout—it’s a place that helps you stay strong for life. The programming is consistently focused on building muscle and real strength, with workouts that are challenging, effective, and adaptable for all levels. The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and make sure technique and safety are always a priority. The group setting adds great energy and accountability, and the supportive community has been a big part of why I’ve stayed consistent for so long. If you’re looking for a place that goes beyond just a “workout” and truly focuses on strength training, community, and long-term progress, theLIFT is it.
I joined The Lift Gym in April 2025 and absolutely Love It!!! It challenges me every single class. I've not only gotten stronger, but learned how to eat better and have lost weight. So far I've lost 11 pounds and 2 inches in my waist. I look forward to going to the gym 3 times a week. All the coaches are very friendly and always helpful. Best gym I ever joined.
The Lift Gym has been a safe environment for me to start my fitness journey with caring trainers and fun members! I love to get my morning started with a fun and challenging workout! I’ve always been one to be afraid to join a gym, and The Lift made me feel right at home! 5 stars in my book, for sure!
Since starting at the Lift Gym several months ago, I’ve continued to be impressed by the commitment of both owners, Matt and Kathy Jennings, as well as the personal trainers, especially Matt V. I’ve been to many gyms in my lifetime and none are as focused and organized as the Lift. They are committed to safe and effective strength training and succeed with the group training sessions. There is always a personal trainer there for guidance and encouragement. I continue to be challenged there and look forward to going each week. Both Kathy and Matt ‘walk the walk’ as they are consistently there working out as well. I recommend the Lift Gym without hesitation, 110%!
I received a membership to The Lift as a gift close to 15 years ago. My wife, Nancy, overcame her fears and joined… 5 years later she is the best shape of her life. Don't be intimidated by this place. Matt & Kathy have a wealth of fitness knowledge and keep the workouts fresh; always introducing new movements and strength training to the agenda. They take personal interest in your fitness goals and will work with you around any injuries or physical limitations. Their commitment and passion make The Lift different from other gyms.
Great small and large group classes! The workouts are challenging but fun and will keep you coming back for more. Small group is the perfect mix of personal attention and group energy. Coaches Matt J and Matt V provide guidance to ensure your form is always on point. I’ve noticed an improvement in my strength and endurance. I have been going to “The Lift” for over 10years. If you are looking to get stronger, stay accountable,enjoy your workouts and make some friends along the way, I highly recommend “The Lift”. Matt, Kathy and their team of coaches are amazing!
Skiing has been a recreation hobby of mine for over 50 years. Just this past weekend I skied 3 days straight in Tahoe never tiring and didn’t have to quit early. This wouldn’t have been possible without training at The Lift. I have more energy now than I did 15 years ago thanks to THE LIFT GYM!
My favorite gym! Matt and Kathy Jennings run a top-notch strength and conditioning gym. All ages welcome and a non competitive space with plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself and learn. All the coaches are excellent and know their craft.
I’ll be 70 this month and the Lift Gym is helping me stay fit as I continue to grow up! Friendly clientele of all ages and abilities…the coaches at The Lift Gym tailor your workout to your needs. This is a down to earth place with down to earth people…great place to keep fit!
I've been a member of Lift Gym for over 10 years, and it's been an incredible experience from the start. I joined when my now 12-year-old daughter was only 6 months old because I noticed that carrying her and my other daughter up the stairs—one in each arm—was becoming a challenge. I wanted to be strong again. As a former college athlete, I knew I needed to rebuild my strength, and Lift Gym was the perfect place to do that. Kathy and Matt have created such a supportive community, which has kept so many of us coming back year after year. With all the trends in the fitness space nowadays, The Lift remains a constant that you can rely on. It’s a special place where the approach is proven, the results are real, and the community keeps you coming back. The people at The Lift are amazing, always encouraging and motivating each other. It's not just about the workouts, it's about the relationships and the sense of belonging. I'm so grateful for The Lift and the positive impact it’s had on my fitness, confidence, and the example it’s set for my two now older daughters, who have witnessed my hard work and growth, learning the value of strength and commitment to one's health.
As someone coming into this gym with little to no experience of formal training I 100% picked the right place. They are extremely insightful and helpful for someone like me who needs guidance in order to muscle train properly. Attending the small group classes has been the perfect way for me to have a more one-on-one experience where I never feel forgotten about or left out.
Getting strong for 20 years strong at the best gym ever! The vibe, atmosphere and workouts are unmatched!!!
Its been over a year since I joined so here is my new review: In July 2024, at 54 years old, I decided to invest in myself and join a gym. Not just any gym. I needed a place to teach me what I needed to do and how to do it properly. After reading reviews from my neighbors and friends I decided to give the Lift gym in Point Pleasant a try. Prior to joining the Lift, I had been struggling with low back pain with nerve pain in my legs. I had gained weight from becoming sedentary. I had been through PT, epidurals, several rounds of prednisone, gabapentin, tramadol, regular chiropractic care only to become frustrated with the state of my body and mind. I couldn’t think on the medication they prescribed and my pain and nerve issues just continued. I was told to have surgery. I did not want to have surgery. I joined the small gym at the Lift and was able to have a coach guide me and encourage me through weight training exercises (thank you Matt V!!). After several months getting stronger and more competent at lifting and weight training I made the leap into the large gym(which always looked very intimidating to me). It turns out it was an easy transition and everyone in the gym was super helpful and motivating. Every day a new workout is posted to the board which was easy to follow. The class coach goes over each exercise and demonstrates proper form. A warm up is posted to do prior to the workout. Over time I began to notice less and less back pain. Less nerve pain. I stopped taking medication for this. I noticed I seemed to be standing/walking taller because prior to getting stronger I felt like I was always tilting forward when I walked/stood. I am not saying my back pain is gone. Stronger glutes, legs, back - All support the spine. Now at 55 I dont expect this pain to ever be absent. But getting stronger at the Lift has CHANGED my life. I can do my everyday tasks without being in exhausting pain. I can enjoy doing the gardening, playing pickle ball, volleyball, walking my dog, skiing, having the stamina to keep up with everyday chores. The coaches and owners care about your well being and want you to succeed. There are workout times throughout the day starting at 5:30am (Yes you can!!) I make it to the gym 3 days per week at 5:30am. You will not be disappointed in the decision to join the Lift gym, Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. Strong Fixes Everything!! From 1 year ago: I am in my second month of 2 per week small group workouts with Matt VanShoick. He pushes you hard and I feel stronger every time. I would recommend to anyone looking to change your body, build muscle, lose fat. The Lift is great.
I joined the Lift Gym in 2023 — a 61 year old retiree, hoping to get stronger, lose body fat and become motivated to consistently follow a fitness protocol to enjoy this chapter of my life. I hit those goals within months by learning what and how to eat to properly fuel my body, and by leaning into the LIFT’s carefully curated and expertly coached fitness sessions. My interests include hiking — and several months ago I asked coach Matt V to prepare me for some bucket list treks. His focused attention stepped up my fitness so that I enjoyed the rigors of an Inca Trail trek and an epic 15 hour Rim2Rim traverse of the Grand Canyon. Joining the Lift is the best investment I’ve made in my health and well being in a long time! A supportive and motivated gym community lead by an outstanding team of expert coaches who take an interest in every member! This is THE gym to join. Thank you LIFT!
You feel the results in every day living. Functional Fitness, whether it’s carrying in your grocery bags or while working in the yard. I also have had the experience of how different my body reacts in a pool full of water, because muscle helps you keep balanced and float.
Hands down, this is the very best gym I have ever worked out in. Great equipment, great vibes, and most importantly, great instructors and great fellow members. It's truly like a family here. There are no egos, no attitudes, just pure energy and positive support to become the best version of yourself that you can. I've been training here for over 5 years and I am in the best shape of my life now, thanks to the phenomenal workouts and nutritional guidelines that are recommended. Just..... AWESOME. Danny Toth
In the fall of 2021 I found myself walking into The Lift gym looking to talk to someone. I was immediately greeted by Matt + Kathy the husband/wife duo that own and operate the gym. They immediately gave me their undivided attention and 20min later had turned what was just a curious pop-in on my part to see what the gym was all about, into a new member of their gym family. I have been participating in small group strength training for ever since. 3-4 days a week I show up and it’s best part of my day hands down. The Lift Gym has allowed me to turn my personal fitness around COMPLETELY. I have lost significant amount of weight and am stronger than I’ve been my entire life. I started at age 39 and The Lift Gym has shown me it’s NEVER TOO LATE to start your fitness journey! On top of that The Lift Gym has given me many new friendships that I hold very dearly and considered extended family. Whether you are an experienced athlete or have never stepped foot in a gym, The Lift Gym and it’s trainers will make sure they give you the time and attention you need! There is a place for everyone and anyone there and is great to be a part of something so special and motivating!
Life changing - best gym, best people, best members. If you truly want to change your life and do it as part of a real community, there’s no better place than The Lift Gym!
I’m not sure where to begin other than, it has been the best investment decision I have ever made for myself in my life. I was thankful I had my sister in law that went there and when I had seen her last Christmas gathering I was blown away! She looked amazing. I joined the challenge in January 2023 and lost an amazing amount of weight I never thought I even had LOL ! Professionalism expertise and very warm smiles and welcomes from Matt & Kathy Jennings to my coach Matt V ( all special) and all the coaches. It’s truly a magical family from the members who cheer you on laugh with you encourage you. I do not see myself ever going anywhere else. The workouts all to strive for better health and looking great. But with all this said, they become family. So if you’re on the fence jump in, come give it a try :) it is an awesome experience that I look forward to each and every time.
I have been with Matt Jennings and The Lift for 14 years. In 14 years I got married, had two kids, and moved to Freehold (30 mins away). With all those changes, I have stayed consistent with my workouts. Why? It’s because of the coaches! The trust I have in them and the belief they have in me! The past 2 years I have switched up my training to Small Group. It was the best decision I have made in my training. Not only do I keep track of my own weights, but the coaches have the ability to motivate me and push me. You are part of a family at The Lift Gym and families push each other to be better!
Been a member since 2017. Amazing coaches and workouts geared towards the over 40 crowd, but great for all ages. Great combination of strength training and conditioning perfect for adding muscle while getting your energy levels up. I'd recommend the Lift Gym anyone! 💪💪💪💪
My 7am small group at the LIFT is something I look forward to! We encourage each other and being there that early is such a great way to start my day! They are the ones that help keep me motivated to get myself out of bed and get to the gym! We always say when we’re done, “See you on Wednesday,” “see you on Friday” , “ have a nice weekend and see you on Monday!” The support and encouragement are so important. I’m so glad I found it here at the LIFT gym!
The Lift Gym in Point Pleasant NJ is amazing…From great coaches to great equipment plus awesome inspiring people to workout with. When I started I was weak both Physically & Mentally. I am physically stronger now, more than I’ve ever been and the coaching staff keeps me mentally fit. Thank you for not giving up on me.
The best gift I have ever given myself is my membership to The Lift Gym! Kathy has guided and encouraged me since my very first day, and the welcoming atmosphere she and Matt provide is second to none! The classes are upbeat and challenging...the perfect way to start my day. I have never felt better or stronger and am so thankful to have joined. Absolutely love this amazing gym!!!
I joined The Lift a few months ago and absolutely love it! The owners Matt and Kathy are very knowledgeable and actively involved in coaching/teaching the workouts. You can do small and/or large classes depending on what your jam is and they can also guide and help you with dietary, weight-loss goals. It feels more like a big family or group of friends than just a regular gym and Matt and Kathy get all the credit for creating such a safe and comfortable environment!
My husband and I started at The Lift a little over a month ago and the energy that we both have is great! Matt and Kathy helped us feel welcome right from the start. It’s not your typical gym where you don’t know anyone. Everyone there made a point to walk over and say hello and welcome us. They helped us by showing us each routine that was laid out and go over the days program to help you get in get the workout done and get out while feeling that you accomplished something. We work out on small groups so there is attention to each person that comes in to ensure they are doing their lifts the proper way. I highly recommend anyone looking to get strong again and get fit.
From the moment I stepped into The Lift Gym almost a decade ago, it has been a life-changing journey. This place isn’t just a gym; it’s a vibrant community of fitness-minded individuals who share a common goal of bettering themselves every day. What sets The Lift apart is the dynamic and custom nature of the workouts. No two days are the same, and this variety keeps every session exciting and challenging. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned fitness enthusiast, the tailored workouts ensure that everyone’s needs and goals are met. The sense of community Kathy and Matt Jennings have created is unparalleled. They have fostered an environment where there’s no room for intimidation. It doesn’t matter your fitness level; you’re welcomed with open arms and encouraged every step of the way. This supportive atmosphere has been pivotal in my journey, making me look forward to waking up each morning and heading to the gym. Over the years, The Lift has not just been a place to work out; it has been a transformative experience that has reshaped my lifestyle. It’s a place where fitness goals are achieved, friendships are forged, and personal barriers are broken. If you’re looking for a gym that offers more than just equipment but a true sense of belonging and continuous growth, The Lift is the place to be!
I am 64 years old and have been going to the Lift Gym for a month now. Friends and family have noticed a difference in my upper body. You can go to your huge gym with no guidance and do what you “think” you are doing correctly and get little to no results. OR You can go to a gym where your exercises are guided and targeted to get results! My time is my most precious commodity. I don’t want to waste it doing exercises that provide little to no results.
Going to the gym can be intimidating, but not at Lift. The small group classes give you the ability to master your form and assist you in nailing down the appropriate weights for you with the guidance from the amazing trainers. It’s one on one but with about 6 other people so it makes learning and growing your strength so fun! I also love the large group classes. Doing the small group defiantly prepares you for them. From the owners (Matt and Kathy) to the outstanding trainers, and even the members, you cannot go wrong here! Give it a chance you have everything to gain, including some new friends!!
Matt and the whole lift team are great!! Matt’s passion for fitness is evident in his dedication to his clients. Matt’s knowledge of fitness coupled with his vast understanding of how nutrition affects your progress toward your goals is second to none. Whether you are looking to get in shape and lose some pounds or are in good shape and looking to take it to the next level The Lift Gym has you covered. Get fit done!!!
Before I started working out here I was walking down the steps leading with my strong leg. Now I am walking down the stairs like an agile 27 year old. The staff is amazing! The community is inviting! Get to LIFT and get your mobility and life back!
I’ve had great experience working out at The Lift Gym. Everyday offers a different workout routine that is both challenging and fun. Matt, Kathy and the rest of the trainers are friendly, knowledgeable, and push their members to reach their fitness goals. The community of members is supportive, motivating and make challenging workouts enjoyable.
Love The Lift! Matt and Kathy are so knowledgeable, and supportive! Really enjoy the classes, especially small group/3 days a week package. I’ve learned so much about proper lifting form and knowing my numbers and when to increase. Seeing amazing results week after week! So motivated and looking forward to continue my fitness journey with this amazing Lift Tribe.
I love working out at the Lift Gym. As a member for over 3 years I am always amazed at how Matt, Kathy, and the entire Lift Tribe continue to find new ways to keep me working towards my fitness goals. I most recently participated in a 6 week ‘Fat Blast Challenge’. By following both a nutrition and workout plan designed by Matt I surpassed my goals to be the winner of the women’s division. The key to this particular challenge for me was the individualized attention I received in the small group sessions. These were very focused workouts where I learned how to work with weights to effectively get results. Looking forward to the next workout!
The Lift is by far, the best!! The workouts are always challenging and effective. Kathy & Matt are passionate about what they do….:They truly care about their clients ..always taking the time to help everyone to make sure you are getting the most out of your workouts. If your looking for results … this is your gym!!! 💪💪💪
I started going to The Lift 2 years ago. In April, I decided to sign up for the Fat Blast Challenge to see what kind of results I would get if I followed the training & nutritional plan. I was given an in body scan at the beginning, midway, & at the end of the challenge. Matt provided an easy to follow nutrition plan with portion sizes. Kathy and the Lift trainers pushed me and gave me the confidence to train a bit harder to get the results & strength they knew I was capable of. I wound up winning the challenge!!! I lost 15.5% of relative body fat while gaining lean muscle mass. I feel stronger and healthier than I have ever felt! I am still following the diet and training plan even though “the challenge” is over because I feel great doing it. I can’t say enough about The Lift family!
Matt and Kathy have built an awesome community at The Lift. Not only are they fantastic coaches, but kind and genuine human beings. They truly care about your goals and are very supportive in helping you get there. Matt has been in the industry for 30+ years and is a continual learner so you can rest assured that you are being guided by the best. There's no place on the Jersey shore I would rather work out!
I just want to give a HUGE thank you to the amazing team at Matt Jennings Fitness! My sister and I just completed an 8 week fitness and nutrition challenge and I have never felt better!!! We made a complete lifestyle change, we are down 15 and 20 pounds each, both lost a significant percentage of body fat and GAINED a tremendous amount of confidence! I have been putting off losing weight for a couple of years now and I don’t know why I waited. The coaches at MJ are SO SUPPORTIVE! Kathy and Matt made us feel so comfortable from the very first day and I am so happy we decided to do this, it was life changing! I know changing your diet and workout routine can be intimidating…. If you are ready to make a change, a change that you can stick to and maintain……And ready to look and feel amazing, CALL MATT JENNINGS!!!

If your looking for a traditional gym with a bunch of guys flexing in the mirror then this is definitely not the place. With scheduled classes and a very knowledgeable coaching team, you will be here for one thing! To get fit Done!! Matt Jennings is the owner but he is much more than that, he has been my trainer, my mentor, my nutritionist and my friend. The lift gym is way more than a gym, it's a tribe! It's a family and you will get great results.. Just show up, train hard and eat right! It really is that easy ! Don't hesitate any longer or waste your time walking on a treadmill at some big box gym because it's cheap! As they say, you get what you pay for.. what are you waiting for?? See you at the lift gym! Come get some
I’ve been a member of this wonderful business since before Matt changed the name to The Lift... 11-12 years now. Matt and Kathy and the whole crew offer such a warm, welcoming, inclusive, knowledgeable and professional experience. I’ve met great people and made lifelong friends there. They’ve helped me keep strong all of these years, which is so key to keeping fit and youthful as we get older. I truly consider Everyone at The Lift - Matt, All staff, and All members - to be my family. 👍🏼👍🏼❤️💪🏼 Thanks Guys!
There isn’t anyone who can’t be a member at The Lift Gym. My husband and I have been working out there for 8 years (through 2 full term pregnancies for me — I delivered both babies with a total of 3 pushes) and still, are not bored of the workouts. As a member, we need to do nothing more than show up. The workouts are planned by Matt and are constantly changing, to cater to the needs of the Tribe members, whatever your age, fitness level or strength. My husband recently completed the blast FAT challenge and with Matt’s tailored diet plan to supplement his 3 time per week workout schedule (one time each week in a Small Group of 3 member only setting) he achieved optimal results: loss of weight, maintenance of muscle mass and a BMI which he, a former Division I athlete, hasn’t seen in years (if ever!). Time doesn’t stop, and we’re getting older, but thanks to the Lift Gym, we’re in the best shape of our lives. Thanks and Stay Strong! Amy and Nick Papa
Love working out at the Lift Gym. Matt, Kathy, and their team are the best. The workouts outs are always a balance of tough and fun. And they’ve taught me a ton about fitness and nutrition. Can’t thank them enough for their guidance.
First off, I've been training at the Point Pleasant facility for over a year, and I consider this to be an integral part of my day, just like one would wake up, make breakfast, go to work. It becomes part of your daily routine (3 - days per week for me) and the results are astounding. There is an old adage about getting what you pay for, and it is so true here. The level of skill and compassion that each instructor teaches with makes it so that you become acutely aware of your own abilities and overcome the trepidation of challenging yourself to achieve a higher level of fitness. There are so many gyms out there, but very few offer the attention to detail and individualized focus that The Lift Gym does. Every day offers a different routine, and you are taught the importance of each and every exercise you do. Absolutely love it.
Great experience with The Lift Gym small group training sessions! Lots of personalized attention as there’s a limit of only 6/group with an excellent, supportive trainer and varied equipment to help accomplish your goals. High recommend!
It’s Thanksgiving day and one of the things I am thankful for is the lift gym. It’s not faddish, it’s not fancy. It is “Get Fit Done.” The owners, the coaches are hands on and extremely helpful. Making suggestions or modifications if I need it. ( Pretty much always!) I jokingly tell the coaches that I’m a full time job. Anyway it’s been 6 months since I joined The Lift and I am down 35 pounds. My body is transforming from fat and flabby to muscled and jiggly. 🤪 I’m a work in progress. My initial goal was just fat loss but my mindset has changed to one of “fitness.” My mantra is “ I just show up. And I keep showing up.” The support and the friendly comradely atmosphere make showing up a pleasure. Just to keep it real they don’t do the work for you. You do the work and you get the results. It has been a life/health changing for me and I’m grateful for ALL the people at The Lift. Happy Thanksgiving
Best gym around! The workouts are fun, challenging and Matt, Kathy and crew are extremely supportive. They educate on fitness as well as nutrition to help you reach your goals. Covid safe: There is plenty of space for social distancing and cleaning stations for wiping down equipment.
The Lift gym is the best gym around, has everything you need! Matt and Kathy are the best! I can’t imagine life without it. Saturday workouts are the best!
I got my body back… best decision I’ve made, if you’re looking to reverse the clock and get pumped up and say goodbye to that menopause body … join the gym
I have never played any sports. Have always carried around too much weight. As an adult I used to go to a “box gym” but never felt it did much. My knees hurt, my back hurt and I started blood pressure medication. Something had to change. Then I found the Lift gym!!! I lost some weight, my blood pressure normalized, My arthritic knees almost never hurt and I have much more energy and stamina for both work and play . Adding strength training for long term health is critically important. The focused group classes are always challenging— I was intimidated at first, but the coaches are supportive and watchful if you are new. The workouts are varied and NEVER boring—. People of all ages, shapes and levels of fitness workout here - and are very friendly and supportive of each other . If an exercise is out of my current range there is always a way to modify if needed. Get off the couch, leave that boring treadmill and get to the Lift! There really is nothing else out there like it.
The Lift Gym in Point Pleasant is a life changer. My first challenge in 2018 saw me loss 20.1 in 6 weeks. After struggling through 2019 & 2020 with a third back surgery and covid related weight gain my weight went from 236 to 270 lbs and I lacked energy and motivation. In March 2021 I received a challenge from The Lift. An 8 week challenge not for weight loss but body fat. I accepted the challenge and processed to drop my bodyfat from 24.8% to 18.4% while adding skeletal muscle in 8 weeks. Kathy, Matt and the rest of The Lift Crew provided me with the training, diet and motivation I needed to succeed. It is up to you to take that first step………. Trust me with dedication, hard work and The Lift team on your side you can achieve the changes that will change your life.
I’ve been a part of this gym community for almost 10 years now. Matt and Kathy truly care about their members, get to know them and their families, and go out of their way to ensure your physical fitness goals are met. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone.
Our gym, The Lift Gym, is a family! owners and coaches have tons of expertise. Everyone respects one another and there is ZERO judgement and ALL encouragement! It's the best investment I've made in myself bc it's helped me improve every aspect of my life!
TheLift fosters a strong sense of community, where support for everyone’s success and wellbeing thrives. It offers a motivating environment that makes working out fun and enjoyable. I look forward to my workouts at TheLift!
This gym is so much more than just a gym, it's a family. From their members to the staff they do their best to support you and work with whatever your limitations are. They not only help you with workouts but also nutrition and meal prep ideas. They gave me back a bit more confidence and my health in the process.
This gym is absolutely amazing!!! Great friendly staff very knowledgeable. This is a must try. Get fit done!!
Since joining The Lift Gym I am capable of lifting myself off the floor…plus lifting weights I thought would take me forever to lift. Back in April I was in very poor physical shape. Tying my shoes made me breath heavy. Getting in and out of bed was not as easy as it should have been. I knew I was in a really bad place. You all are saving my life!!! Thank you a million times.
What an excellent gym! It’s family run and amazing. The trainers are focused and incredibly knowledgeable. They work with you to reach your goals and teach you how to attain them. They will make you strong and healthy.
I’ve been a member of the Lyft since 2017!!! They have built up my strength I never knew I had!! My family goes here as well !! Best gym ever❤️💪
Matt and Kathy are happy healthy people. Once I committed there program changed my life for the better... I lost 44 pounds...they are covid responsible as well always cleaning wipes near by ,extra masks antibacterial... very safe and professional
Since coming to TheLift the desire to working out has increased substantially due to the program design and most critically the personal care and extrinsic motivation provided by the training staff!!
Awesome gym that gets awesome results. So glad that I found this gym. It's not just a gym but a truly amazing and lifestyle changing experience. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone who ready and willing to change themselves for the better.

Amazing community of coaches & members. Everyone helps you along in your journey to be the best you can be. It’s a positive vibe day in and day out! Oh yeah, and a killer workout too! You still have to do the work but if you do, you will see the results!
Before I come to lift I did not enjoy working out and struggle to get to the gym, but after I start coming to lift I feel happy and enjoy working out. I also see the changes in my body.
I cant say enough about my experiences here. Matt and Cathy are incredible owners, hands-on coaches and go the extra mile for each and every member. I was stoked to move back to the area and train with them again.
The instructors are always telling us go heavy during strength training. Thanks to their program, I beat my previous max in bench press from 20 years ago.
The facility at lift gym is set up to make you succeed The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable and will make you comfortable there from day one Kathy and Matt are 2 owners that care and treat you like family Fabulous place Come and see for yourself You wont be disappointed
This is the greatest gym in this entire area!! Squatting with family and friends..... I've been going here for over 10 years now and I would never go to another place..... Training done right. Attention to form and proper lifting, no egos involved. Love it!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I originally walked in and was so afraid that I would never be able to do ANYTHING! It is now a year later and I have lost 25 pounds and my body fat is down 3%! I am so happy!
The virtual Facebook sessions have been great when I am able to participate, effective, challenging......it’s pretty incredible when you can train under your and Kathy’s guidance online under theses circumstances with innovative workouts! Thank you!
The best gym I’ve ever belonged too. The lift gym is life changing. Exceptional coaches/ owners put the lift in a league by itself.
Before coming to TheLIFT I was unaware of how strong I could be. Since coming to TheLIFT, I am stronger, more confident, and surrounded by such a close community!!! ❤️💪🏼
Awesome gym. Searched long for the right atmosphere and finally found The Lift. Very satisfied with this Tribe.

Great Experience
After three months of the twice-weekly small group strength-training class I see progress and experience the benefits in everyday life. Trainer Matt V is perfect for someone like me, 60+ without formal strength-training experience. Friendly atmosphere with lovely gym owners. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.
Prior to joining the Lift a few months ago, I never really worked out (yoga being the one exception). I knew intellectually that strength training was essential for my long-term health and longevity — but knowing something and wanting to do it are very different things. I researched local gyms and the Lift’s philosophy — built around the over-40 community with a focus on getting strong for life- seemed like a good fit. When I met Kathy to learn more about the program, I told her the truth: I didn't want to work out, but I knew I should. Rather than dismiss that or push past it, she genuinely heard me. She was so warm, encouraging, and completely non-judgmental of my reluctance and my fear. She helped me understand that I wasn't alone and that many women feel exactly the way I felt when they first start. I now train twice a week and look forward to it. The workouts are very challenging, but they are achievable. Matt J and Matt V are consistently positive, knowledgeable, and encouraging. I also really appreciate the atmosphere among the members themselves. Everyone is friendly and focused entirely on their own personal best — there is no sense of competition so it feels very inclusive. My results have been real and measurable: in three months, I lost 4 pounds of body fat and gained 3 pounds of muscle mass. More than numbers, I feel stronger and more capable, and I get a sense of accomplishment after every session that I truly did not expect to ever feel in a gym. I’m so happy I joined!
Un buen lugar para mantenerse saludable haciendo ejercicio!🏋️
