HERE'S WHAT OUR MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT SHAPEXPRESS:

"I know what you are thinking....Does the Synergie Aesthetic Massage" really work? Well, I used to be in your footsteps, skeptical about spending money on the aesthetic massage and unsure whether or not I would actually see results. I am here to tell you that it is worth every penny. Throughout my life I have always been an athlete and although I am not actively involved in a sport anymore, I continue to go to the gym at least 5 or 6 days a week. That's right, I spent all that time in the gym and I was still not completely happy with my body....specifically my upper thighs. I am generally a slender woman, however no matter how hard I worked out, my thighs were always a bit on the thicker side. I have tried all types of exercise, yoga, pilates, heavy weights with less reps and light weights with more reps but still no results. Getting smart lipo-suction crossed my mind, but I am extremely afraid of surgical procedures so I quickly nixed that idea. My family would always tell me it's not a big deal and that is just where my body stores my fat so there is nothing I could do about it.....well, I am happy to say they were wrong! I read an article about the Synergie Aesthetic Massage in the shoppers guide explaining a "non-invasive" process to help reduce cellulite and melt away inches throughout your body. I immediately did some research on the process and thought I had to give it a try. Now, here I am today as happy as I can be.....thinner thighs and almost no cellulite! The women at ShapeXpress were absolutely fantastic; they have such an amazing and welcoming staff! Also, I want to mention that ShapeXpress cleanliness is absolutely impeccable. If you are a woman who is trying to lose some inches and cellulite, I truly advise you to check out the Synergie Aesthetic Massage at Shape Express. Trust me...Don't wait. :)" - K.I., Caldwell, NJ

"No, I did not want to add the sauna to my membership. Sure, I was told about how it would release the toxins from my body and how good it was going to make me feel, but I was not sure I really believed it - and is the sauna safe to use? Well, at my next doctor's appointment I asked if there was any concern about using the infrared sauna and the doctor advised there was none. The women at the gym sure appeared to be relaxing while sitting in there, and after several weeks I decided to add it to my membership. I can still remember the first time I used it. I was so relaxed, I think I fell asleep because twenty minutes passed very quickly. I started using the sauna twice a week for thirty minutes. Were the toxins leaving my body? I can't be sure, but I am sure I feel great every time. I also realized that the arthritis pain in my hand decreased and the "age spot" on my cheekbone faded. I began to tell everyone at the gym about this unexpected benefit from using the sauna. At this time, I am using the sauna only once weekly and I can still and see the benefits. If you are as unsure or suspicious about the sauna as I was I can only advise you to try it and I think you will be pleasantly surprised." - Antoinette Minervini, N.J.

Thanks ShapeXpress and Linda for taking me the next step in my weight loss." - Sue, West Milford, N.J.

" - Jodi Santoro, Totowa, N.J.

"I've been a member of ShapeXpress of Newfoundland, New Jersey since they opened up in October of last year. I was immediately drawn to the welcoming and comfortable atmosphere provided by all of the employed staff. The clubs consistency with promoting not only health, but saftey makes a drastic difference between other women's only gyms. They make a promise of not only being there for you, but actually guiding you to success. The programs are always new and exciting, never letting you hit that work-out plateau! Working out has become a pleasure, and joining ShapeXpress was by far the best gift I could have given myself!! " - Linda, West Milford, N.J.

The FAR Infrared Sauna has done wonders for the ailments that plagued me. arthritis and high blood pressure mainly. The Spa is so beautifully furnished and maintained! All of the equipment is the top-of-the-line. The staff is first class in every respect. Coming here 3 times a week is a pleasure. " - Cathleen, West Milford, N.J.

Whether you are a work-out fiend, or a busy at home mom with 30 minutes to spare - the club provides plenty of different cardio options, including the sauna (600- 800 calories in a half hour)!! I would highly recommend stopping by, not only because ShapeXpress is convenient and at your fingertips, but the staff will encourage you and literally help you get back into SHAPE." - Lisa, Butler, N.J.

"ShapeXpress has truly shaped my life. Through diet and exercise I've lost a total of 18.25 inches and 23 lbs. in three months! The staff is professional, knowledgeable, motivating and very caring." - Lorraine, Newfoundland, N.J.

"A warm, welcoming, enthusiastic atmosphere where encouragement is the top priority and success is inevitable. This is how I would start to describe the place I go every weekday morning at 6:00 am. Most people think I'm crazy and should go back to sleep for an extra hour, but I have set my mind to a workout before heading to go to work everyday. It is very reassuring, that on a daily basis I am greeted in the morning with smiles and encouragement from the extremely supportive staff at ShapeXpress. After years of unsuccessful dieting, total failure at weight loss programs, and unrealistic exercise plans, I have finally found a place that recognizes my goals and assists me to achieve them. The Staff at ShapeXpress is warm and inviting, helpful and supportive, and most of all, willing to go the extra mile (literally) with me on the treadmill if they have to, in order to help me reach my goals. This staff, led by owners Audrey and Mike, have already exceeded my expectations. Judi, the one fitness instructor willing to get up with me every morning, including snow-days, has assisted me with a personal loss of 20 lbs., 17 inches and 3 dress sizes. I would have to say, that beyond the staff, the most important part of this incredible place, is the stress-free atmosphere that has been created that gets me up and out of bed in the morning to start my day off in the right direction. The sauna, massages, facials and tanning do not hurt either." - Christine, Oak Ridge, NJ

" I have belonged to ShapeXpress for one year and what is most evident is the pride expounding from every employee. The staff is always freshening and tiding something, and the welcoming attitude is apparent from the point when you first open the door until you leave. Not to mention the facility has a program for every type of woman, shape or size, designed with you in mind. There is no reason to feel intimidated because once you join; you become part of the family, where you are never forgotten!" - Cindy, Highland Lakes, N.J.
