A premier athletics gym with premier, coaching, and programming. Highly recommended for all fitness levels! They know how to keep you safe and coming back for more. Less

This gym is awesome. The culture here is felt the second you walk in. Friends are made, weights are lifted, heart rates are high! 10/10 great work out and even better people Less

Every class with Rick is great experience! He is always inspiring us to show up and work hard. He provides modifications if needed and makes no excuses for less than your maximum effort. Less

John was great , so upbeat and friendly . Demonstrated the movements so I can understand them . Kept the class flow fun and timely . Super encouraging . It was a great start to my day. Thank you John. I look forward taking more of your classes ! Less

Provided great instruction, I’ve never done deadlift cleans before and the coaching through the process gave me the confidence to get them done. The conditioning like always kicked my ass. A great community and support from everyone all around. Less

Never disappoints! From giving me helpful cues on my Olympic lifts to giving me the push I need to grind through a tough workout, Emmy makes sure you’re getting the most out of that hour. Less

The best gym I’ve ever been a part of!!! I am 19 and have been an athlete my whole life and System never fails to humble me!! I just started this summer and immediately felt welcomed and encouraged to challenge myself. Emmy and every other coach pushes you past what you think you can do. I am dreading going back to college without these daily workouts!!! Less

I worked out at System Athletics for 2 weeks while on vacation down the shore. Emmy was very welcoming and the workouts were challenging! I will definitely be back next year! Less

Emmy is next level. I leave her sessions feeling comprehensively and holistically stronger, lengthened, and focused. Results are visible and sentient - in range of motion, performance, and first thing in the morning upon waking. Emmy’s placement of encouragement and correction of mechanics makes me feel like I’m training for the Olympics. She provides options and accommodations as needed, and squashes self doubt. With firm and friendly accountability, she makes me want to show up for myself. Having been through lots of different training methodologies and systems for decades, Syst[EM] Athletics is by far the best, hands down. Less

Why isn’t there more than a 5 star option!? Because that’s what I need to give! I’ve been active and working out since high school- I’m in my 50’s now. I think I’ve finally arrived at a place that could make me Wonder Woman inside and out and it’s Emme and SystEM…I’ve learned more in a few weeks than I have in 35 years. I’ll be having to leave to go back North after Labor Day but I’ll be following the monthly programming and dreaming about Memorial Day weekend…! ☀️ Less

No matter what you're looking for in a gym -- a good sweat, losing weight, gaining muscle, expanding your skills, etc. -- you will find at SYST[EM] Athletics. But what SYST[EM] offers goes well beyond "the gym." The culture and community that Emmy and her stellar team of coaches have created will permeate all aspects of your life. The motivation stays with you, and can be applied to relationships, friendships, work, life, etc. Many of my most favorite people I've met in a gym, and it's because of the environment cultivated by great coaches, friends and fellow athletes. Highly, highly recommend. All it takes is walking through the doors to be hooked. Less

System Athletics in incredible. Emmy is such a great trainer. Her workouts are so well rounded, and thought out + she makes it fun (but don’t get me wrong she will make you WORK!) I’ve never been to a more welcoming gym where everyone is so friendly and encouraging. I cannot recommend System Athletics! Less

Can’t say enough good things about Emmy and System Athletics. This gym is the most welcoming place I’ve been to. Workouts are designed for all levels and will give you the challenge that you need. So I’m happy I joined! Less

I can’t say enough good things about System Athletics. Emmy and her team are amazing. They will always push you to do your best and are right there beside you making sure you reach your goals. Each week I look forward to Emmy’s programming, even when there are things that I feel I’m not good at because I always walk out feeling like I gave all I had that day. I also love the weightlifting classes programmed and coached by Tom. No matter what weight I have on the bar, everyone in the class is always so encouraging and supportive. It’s not just the coaches that make me love System Athletics, the community is like no other, everyone wants to see you succeed. Also the facility is very clean and well maintained. System Athletics has everything you could want in a gym and more! Less

Fitness is a lifestyle. If you are looking for a place that is going to support you, push you, challenge you and make you the best version of YOU Syst[EM] Athletics deserves a fair shot. I started with a free class and found that I wanted more. Went into a month and now commit to the year! Workouts are designed to challenge you physically and mentally. I was at another gym for years and thought my body was sore from the workouts, turns out my body was sore from repetition of the same things. After a solid month my body feels AMAZING and my muscles are sore, not my body! Modifications can and will be made if needed, strength and endurance are pushed, form is corrected ALL the time. At the end of every workout everyone is full of sweat and a smile! Fitness is a journey, not a race. If you are looking for a place to feel like family this is the one for you! Not only is Emmy great but so are the other coaches, and members. The enthusiasm, especially Emmy’s, is contagious! Syst[EM] Athletics is impeccably clean - the floors are mopped and vacuumed ALL the time and the equipment is wiped after use! (They even have a zamboni aka walk behind floor cleaner, how much cleaner could you expect it to get?) Less

The best gym I've ever been a part of. The staff is amazingly supportive and encouraging. And the people who go there to work out have been really friendly and helpful. Thank you. The facility is clean and comfortable, plenty of equipment, and easy parking. I've been here a month and already feel more fit and stronger. Love this place! Less

The best gym around! Emmy is the BEST coach- she programs the most amazing workouts that are challenging yet fun, and pushes you to your full potential. The environment is uplifting and encouraging; it’s where I look forward to going every day after work. Even if you are new to working out, this is the place for YOU! Less

Emmy has been training my 2 high school children for the past 2 years. We continue to go back to Emmy because she is motivating, inspiring, and encouraging. Emmy empowers them. She pays attention to them, she is not just in the motions or this is another training appointment. She specializes their work out according to their needs and wants. My husband and I will be joining the Emmy crew too:) Less

Systems Athletics is an outstanding strength and conditioning gym. Emmy Simpkins reputation in the fitness world speaks for itself. ( google her after reading these reviews) The facility offers top-notch equipment, unmatched programing, and a motivating atmosphere. Emmy's expertise shines through, creating a supportive environment for all fitness levels. The commitment to individualized attention sets Systems Athletics apart, making it a go-to choice for those serious about their fitness journey. After being here for just a month I am hitting lifts I haven’t done in years. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a results-driven and welcoming gym experience with the most fun and supportive community I’ve ever been a part of. Less

Not only an outstanding facility but outstanding staff. A plethora of knowledge and expertise! Staff remain engaged, professional and always seeking to better every individual in class!!! Hands down the best gym at the Jersey Shore!!! Less

Emmy and all of the coaches make you feel welcome and are highly motivational. They are patient with athletes new to this type of high-intensity workout, and always assist with modifying and making it doable at any level (*with a little bit of push*). The facility is always clean and has high quality equipment. I recommend you take a class at System- you’ll be hooked. Less

There are great trainers and coaches, and then there are the very few like Emmy. Her talents in strength and conditioning programming and body mechanics are only overshadowed by her conviction that her students progress and achieve under her training. Syst[EM] is an amazingly substantial approach towards fitness. Less

If you want a good sweat, this is the place for you! I cannot say enough good things about SYSTEM Athletics and Emmy! The workouts are intense, the people are inspiring and the vibes are immaculate! A true family atmosphere is created here. The instructor's passion for fitness and health, rubs off on everyone there, they're all true motivators. You will be pushed to limits you didn't even know you can achieve. And the music? Incredible. Less

My entire family attends System Athletics, from adults to middle school-aged children. Emmy and her staff provide custom-tailored training for everyone, understanding their goals and aspirations. Whether she's training my sons for basketball and football season, or me for basic fitness and health, Emmy is encouraging yet tough, and she provides proven results! The gym is spotlessly clean and modern, with state of the art equipment and lots of smiles!!!! Less

Nothing quite like it. The programming will get you really strong and really fit. The atmosphere will guarantee you enjoy the road getting there. I’m so glad Emmy took a chance on herself and opened this gym because everyone is benefiting from her vision and passion. If you’re not training here - you’re wrong. Less

I've been lucky to train with Emmy for years, both in group classes and one-on-one sessions. I can say without a doubt that she's really, really good at what she does. Her ability to simplify complex fitness concepts makes them accessible to even those with limited knowledge, like me. Emmy's workouts are challenging but thoughtfully structured. Her coaching style is articulate and engaging, and her infectious positivity keeps you motivated while making training an enjoyable experience. Being around dedicated people like Emmy is inspiring. 10/10 would recommend! Less

Everything you want under one roof! Amazing programming, welcoming environment, and a large variety of equipment. Emmy is a dedicated, compassionate coach with a huge wealth of knowledge that she shares! There are so many different opportunities available for anyone and everyone. Whether you’re just starting out on your fitness journey or you’re a seasoned athlete, you will look forward to getting your workout in!!! Less

Best programming in the area! Workouts are challenging but always leave me excited and motivated to come back and do more. The owner, Emmy, sets the perfect vibes, and holds everyone to a standard to be the best that they can be. I never feel like I am being compared to another member, or like I am expected to perform more than or less than any of my peers. Emmy’s attention to detail has helped me to make gains in my overall strength and fitness. There are only a small handful of places that I would recommend and this is at the top of the list! Try it out! You won’t be disappointed! Less
