Whippany Athletic Club

This isn’t just my favorite gym because it’s home (and within walking distance lol) but considering I’ve been an athlete all my life, this facility is hands down my favorite environment for training.
I’ve been a member of the WAC community for 3 years, and even longer aka before it was WAC and was actually Final Round Boxing and owner by my current bodybuilding coach, Chris Lentino.
What can I say? Being in a real gym, with hardcore equipment, surrounded by wonderful athletes as trainers, all while feeling comfortable in a clean, well kept, inspiring environment, makes the rough days seem, well, not so rough.
This gym is for those serious about their fitness, however let me clarify that it openly and lovingly accepts every level of gym goer under the sun. What I mean by serious, is this is not your average club med version of a gym. There is no sauna, no steam room, no big old fancy hoopla, just equipment, and extensive amount of free weights, a boxing ring, heavy bags, and the lovely sound of heavy weights hitting the floor.
This is no Planet Fitness. We believe in squat racks and dumbells in the triple digits. This is not where mediocrity is encouraged but rather where growth and improvements thrive in a non intimidating way. That is not to say you will not see some of the biggest and most savage/​badass training you have ever seen, but rather that even the more advanced individuals know everyone starts somewhere, and they warmly encourage individual success with experienced advice to match. This is no cult, it’s a community, and more than that, it’s a family. Plan on hellos, goodbyes, and some great convo and friendships to develop here just as much as your muscles.
WARNING: ehen you hear the bear growling do not be alarmed. It’s probably just my coach or one of the trainers in their natural habitats

Can’t beat it!
This little gem is hidden away in the business park of Whippany and East Hanover. The gym is a one level spacious facility with access to everything from boxing heavy bags, to free weights, to treadmills. All the equipment is brand new and memberships are very reasonable.
The staff is very energetic and alive, are very knowledgeable and best of all, accredited.
I came for the boxing, and am very happy. Even with a class going on, there’s plenty of equipment and space, if you want to work alone. They have a full size ring which is clean and maintained. While, all the boxing coaches are friendly, professional, and genuinely want to help. Even offering to hold mitts or jump in the ring with me. I really like this place.
Felix the Semper Fitness instructor said it best, «This place isn’t a gym, it’s a training facility.»
Do yourself a favor and stop by.
