Testimonials
Being a member of We Strong has been one of the best experiences of my life, a sentiment that is shared by many members of the community. At We Strong, you are accepted for who you are and challenged to be more than you thought you could be. Coach Omar is the best coach around. His work outs balance strength, cardio, and conditioning. Coach Omar treats his members with respect and has created a community that thrives because it's all about the "we." We work really hard at his gym but we have an incredibly good time doing so! There is a strong sense of cooperation and support among We Strong members, who are family to one another. The awesome music he plays at the gym, from the blues to hip-hop, gets the energy going even at 6 am. I go to the gym almost every day because I love it so much, and the vibe from We Strong stays with me the entire day. If I encounter difficulties in my day, I remember that I just pushed a heavily weighted prowler up the hill -- I got this and will get this! There is no better gym/community around, and I am forever grateful to have been part of the We Strong community.

When I first came to JC, I was a looking for a small group fitness environment with good leadership and workouts. I was coming from AsOne in NYC and wanted the same type of workout - functional strength to compliment both endurance training and everyday life. WeStrong provided that and has consistently delivered on high quality coaching through the pandemic. Omar provides great coaching and workouts, gets to know his clients, and helps folks go from where they are to where they want to be fitness and health wise. Good luck to Omar and the lucky new folks that will get to train with him in Florida!

This place is unreal. I had seen people working out doing crazy things all the time whenever I walked by so I finally tried it and after 1 class at WeStrong I was hooked. It’s so good I was showing up on my sacred Saturday’s. I was at LA fitness for almost 6 years and I won’t be going back. Such a great experience, Omar’s really good at helping out with your form and always knows when you need a good push.

“I would have to rank WeStrong systems as one of the greatest single accomplishments of my life so far. The day I decided to take back control of my health and mental well being was made possible by WS. ”

“WeStrong is the only place in Jersey City for people with serious fitness goals. From the second I walked in the door, I felt welcomed by the coaches and the members. It is a great environment for people of all levels who want to improve their health, performance and appearance.”

“The coaches at WS are like no other and truly try to get know you and help you achieve your goals. The coaching there is what it should be, personal....The workouts at WS really push you to your limit and allow more variety. You never know what you are going to walk into which does not keep you bored. My body fat dropped about 6%, my weight about 10 lbs in those few months I was ‘killing it.”’Although my commute and wait time will be an hour and a half I think I will need to stay with WS til they move near me.”

“WeStrong is more than a gym, it is fun and it is family. That doesn’t mean it won’t challenge you at every level of fitness - it does. Be prepared to work hard and to have your abilities challenged - from body weight workouts to barbells and kettle bells, everyone is made comfortable being uncomfortable. The coaches at WS work with everyone individually as needed to address injuries or shortcomings. WS is for women and men - young and old. The members encourage and support each other. WS is my home. ”

I have been going here for 12 years and it’s hands down the best place to workout that I’ve ever come across. Coach Omar is absolutely the best. I have never been this strong and it’s all thanks to him. His workouts are always new and challenging. Don’t hesitate to sign up. It’s the best gift I ever gave myself.

What an amazing experience at WeStrong. A grade A gym for a good price. The members felt like family. The workouts were much better than any crossfit place. You would come in, put in the work and see results, all while laughing and making friends. Coach O is the man! Highly recommend.

It's an awesome and motivating environment at the gym. The workouts allow you to either go at your own pace if you are starting out or really push yourself. Coach Omar makes it worth it.

Coach Omar provides the tools and guidance. The people, encouragement and inspiration. Fantastic place for those who bring 100% to every session.

I was a member for maybe a year, and was recently sad to hear of their closing. An excellent team, system, value, and experience that I know will have great success in future endeavors.

Hands down the best gym I ever attended. I was a member for a little bit over a year before Omar closed up shop, and I was so sad to see him go. Shortly after joining, I felt I had become integrated into the Westrong family. It was the first time I had ever felt like I belonged to a gym; I wasn't just another member, another cog where no one knows each other's name like at NYSC. I was a member of NYSC for nine years and decided to pull the plug once I tried out WeStrong for a week. Omar's workouts are unique, high intensity, and super solid. He will leave you dripping in sweat and will correct your form if needed. The last thing he wants is for his members to hurt themselves, as is common at so many CrossFit gyms. I truly feel that I became a lot stronger training with Omar. His workouts are different everyday—well-diversified—and if there is a specific muscle you would like to target, he’ll give you advice, show you new exercises and proper form. He’s very knowledgeable and caring. He suggested I try Dymatize (best protein brand) after telling him that for years I had been bouncing between protein brands as I have a very sensitive stomach and intermittent gastritis. WeStrong was like a family. He and everyone else at WeStrong will be missed. Nevertheless, I’m so happy for Omar and his family to begin a new chapter in their lives.

Phenom local gym with a family first mentality.

I have been going here for several years and can highly recommend the program and the results. Workouts are tough, but scaled to each individual, so Coach pushes you as hard as your individual capability allows. Also, a great group of people go here and you will make friends if you want to.
