Fifth Floor View

Big Gym news in Jersey City. Fit & Trim, which opened on the 5th floor of a refurbished building on Newark, was an attempt to extend Gold Coast Fitness. Unfortunately, the economy is terrible, the building they were in had some issues. Once Gold Coast opened in that section of the neighborhood in the late 90s, proving there was a market in the start and stop gentrification that had been Jersey City for a mainstream gym, a few other chain gyms opened. Anyway, Fit & Trim has now merged with World Boxing & Fitness Center, which is at 29 Division Street (which I call Joy Division Street) is a beautiful place. All the details are still being worked out for the transition to members. The Fit & Trim might have had some flaws, but it was a beautiful space and what a view, from five floors up. I wanted to document that here.

See, the winter is here and the water is back. Last blogged about here, here’s another view.
