My son has trained under Geoff Mitchell and Mitchell Squash at the Chatham Club for the last ten years. He has received expert squash tutelage and guidance as to how he should conduct himself on and off the court. It has helped him grow and mature both personally and academically. He is a nationally ranked squash player who relishes his time at the Club, playing with his friends and receiving his lessons in a warm and nurturing environment. It has been a wonderful experience and I recommend it to all without reservation. I can not say enough good things about Geoff Mitchel and the Mitchell Squash Program.

The facility, staff, classes, personal trainers and squash pros are all excellent. Everything about the club is top notch. It stands in stark contrast to the gyms in the area that are huge factories. Instead, the Chatham Club is a place where everybody knows your name. I can also give huge kudos to Geoff Mitchell and his junior squash program. Geoff is an awesome squash pro not only from a technical perspective, but also as a tremendous role model and mentor to young squash players.
I've known the Chatham Club since the 1980s (my Mom played squash there while I was in the nursery) and I grew up to become a member and squash player myself. The team at the Chatham Club is unparalleled - even after 30+ years, I can say this has stayed true. The facilities are well maintained from the locker rooms to the squash courts. Every time I'm back in town, I stop by to say hello, and it's like coming home. Even with the pandemic, they are finding ways to keep delivering to members while keeping everyone safe. I highly recommend them.
Junior Squash program has been exceptional in developing kids skills on the and off the court. The Squash Pro's understand each child's needs and push them to reach their potential while having fun along the way. The adults are very supportive and include the Juniors in leagues and round robins. While the program has produced several National champions, the success is also measured in the number of Juniors who continue to play the game well past leaving the club. Universally, kids in the program are known for their sportsmanship, drive, and love of the game.
My daughter learns squash under Geoff at the Chatham Club for a few years, and she trains with Doug for fitness. The squash pros, personal trainers, facility, and staff are wonderful. Mitchell Squash has trained many national ranked players over the past 25 years with high level skills and sportsmanship. My daughter loves everything about squash there, no matter it's the lesson, the clinic, the camp, or playing with the adults. Geoff teaches her not only to have the great techniques, but also trains her to have a strong mental toughness. For the past a few years, she has learned to balance well between her academics and sports through squash. I highly recommend Mitchell Squash and it is the one of the best places to learn squash in New Jersey.
The Chatham Club is not just your regular gym but it is one of the most amazing social community places I have ever seen. Get ready for a big transformation!
Did I mention everyone I interact there is outstanding including members, trainers, and staff?
The Chatham Club is a great local fitness club. Friendly employees, a neighborhood feel, and a very knowledgeable fitness and squash staff.
The squash program in particular, MitchellSquash, is well known in the national squash community for producing top level squash players. I grew up playing at the club and training with Geoff Mitchell and owe most of my squash success as a player and as a coach to his enthusiasm and attention to detail. Over the years the program has only grown and produced many more talented junior and college players. There is a place for all level players within the program and the kids all seem to love it. Couldn't recommend it any more highly as a both a fitness community and a squash club.
I ve been meaning to post this for awhile but wanted to give a big shout out to The Chatham Club. My gym of many years has done everything possible to keep their staff employed and keep their customers safe and happy in these difficult times. They ve been offering outdoor spin classes and boot camps and now covered outdoor cardio and strength training equipment to keep people safe and fit while some don t feel comfortable using indoor equipment. This doesn t even compare with any other local chain gym- Equinox, Lifetime, NYSC that simply shut their doors and did nothing to make themselves available prior to gyms being allowed to reopen for indoor training. If you re looking for a nice relaxed atmosphere, excellent range of updated and clean equipment I highly recommend The Chatham Club!!
I ve been a member at the Chatham Club (CC) since September 2013 and I am very happy with the selection of offered classes, which is regularly updated. Most importantly, I feel very comfortable working out here. Most fitness clubs feel corporate and impersonal; however, the CC promotes a community atmosphere. You are warmly greeted by the staff at the front desk each day.
While the CC is on the pricier side, I would definitely recommend it. Membership includes 3 initial personal training sessions to be scheduled within your first 90 days of membership. Additionally, the CC offers their members complimentary tune up personal training sessions every 3 months intended to tweak one s current workout . Members are free to have those sessions with any of the trainers. Not many gyms provide that perk in their memberships.
For those looking for a gym without a year s commitment, the CC offers that flexibility - there are no contracts. The gym is on the smaller size, but it is well equipped and the locker rooms are roomy and well maintained. There are free weights, medicine balls, kettlebells, resistance bands, TRX and more. If you are unfamiliar with their use, there is a trainer assigned to cover the fitness floor who will show you.
The fitness instructors are warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The classes offered such as spin, yoga, HIIT or muscle shock are taught by different individuals so the mood of the classes is distinctive. The personal fitness trainers run the gamut in their experience and expertise, so you will be able to work with someone that fits your goals and personality.
I work out in the mornings and when using the cardio machines rarely is there a wait. There are plenty of treadmills, ellipticals, stairmasters, etc. The best part is that it's very clean; most members are cognizant of other patrons wiping down the machine with antibacterial wipes provided at various stations placed throughout the gym. Personally, I m glad that there are quite a few water coolers positioned throughout the Club. In my old gym, I had to rely on a water fountain to refill my water bottle, which unfortunately was metallic in its taste.
The squash courts are a bonus; however, to use them, you will have to pay for premium membership. Last year I took part in a ladies clinic and now there is a group of us that routinely get together to play. Love the game!
Overall, I enthusiastically endorse the Chatham Club :)
Chatham Club gets a 10/10 from me. The club has a very friendly vibe and good facilities. The instructors are the best - they make intense workouts fun. I genuinely enjoy working out here.. I come in with a smile and leave with one :)
Gym a bit older than I expected, but very clean . Normal temperatures set up in all rooms. Nice trainers, you can get a lot help ASAP. Sauna required some renovations.
I have been a member of the club for years. I joined because of the squash program. Great courts, great players, great round robins, and great coaches. I must strongly disagree with an earlier reviewer. the kids program is awesome. Geoff Mitchell runs an incredible squash program.. My daughter, who is now 25 played through the program. Although she never was an upper level player, she still received the personalized coaching and support shown to the top players!! A great place to get your kid involved in a great sport!!
This gym is colorful, positive and welcoming. Lots of equipment and not too crowded, even though there are lots of people. Members are all ages, genders and body types.
Great club! The facility is new, clean, modern and the staff is professional, and up to speed on all the latest training and fitness philosophies. These guys are tops and this is coming from a snooty New Yorker...
Love the gym. Good group classes. Personal trainers are excellent. Especially, the Mitchell Squash is one of best places ever at the Chatham Club. There are excellent coaches and many talented junior players.
Been at this great club since 1995. It is a wonderful place with friendly conscientious staff. In these difficult times they are doing everything the right way.
Best club ever! Professional staff, caring personnel, amazing, varied, and up to date classes, personal training, al offered in a calming yet invigorating atmosphere with people who share similar values, goals and respect.
A fantastic local fitness club, offering most of the services provided by the bigger more expensive clubs in the area. The Chatham Club offers you a more personal / friendly service.
I started working out a few weeks ago in the building since Covid happened. In lieu of being IN the building, my trainer suggested virtually working out in April. Smart way to keep members invested. My comfort always paramount! Since I've been exercising IN the building, IT'S CLEANER THAN MY HOME!! Thank you Chatham Club
