Great experiences at CGI! Love coming here to breathe, let go of stress and recharge. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend coming by to check this place out!

Wet/dry sauna (infrared), heading center, ionized swimming pool, hot tub with air bubbles and friendly and attentive staff. Nothing more to ask for for this total experience to regenerate and rejuvenate your body and mind. I took Amy’s yoga class and it was in depth and engaging. She carefully corrected the posture and encouraged everybody.

Enter At Your Own Risk!!! They do not even deserve one star. I use to be a member for three years consecutively at CGI Holistic Fitness & Spa once upon a time. The Management Team were attentive, honest and professional back in day. I was considering to become a member once again in a addition to Hwal Gong Healing Massage Therapy, perhaps in the near future. Unfortunately however, this facility have changed tremendously. Be vigilance in observing your surroundings as well as The Current Management Team. The Customer Relations Manager and The Wellness Manager are unprofessional, shady (dishonest) and deceitful.

I have not used the gym yet, but I got a facial from Irina, and she is fantastic!!! She dramatically improved my skin when I was 14, and 6 years later, I still come to get a facial by her! I recommend her to everyone I know.
Jay M.
Had the best facial today. Irina is so thorough and kind. My skin is glowing and so soft. CGI is so clean and quiet. There is such great energy in the spa. Highly recommend.

For Valentines Day this year I made an appointment for a couples massage. Our 5 star experience started with a warm greeting as we entered into an inviting, clean and peaceful space. Our appointment started on time and we experienced a massage like no other and I have had my share of massage over the years. After our massage we were offered a cup of warm herbal tea. We enjoyed our therapeutic and healing experience so much we booked additional sessions for both of us.

Clean water, nice employees, big gym, and hot showers. Plus, luxurious!!!

I’m not someone who typically shares publicly. However I was so moved by my healing experience at CGI Closter that I had to share. I had a healing session with Master Sarah which was transcendent. I’ve never had body work like what Master Sarah did. I left the facility buzzing in the best sense of the word. I highly recommend having a healing session with Master Sarah. Your body, mind and spirit will thank you.

CGI is so warm and welcoming. The facilities are fabulous, sure to meet everyone's needs. I felt an immediate sense of calm and caring. Highly recommend.

Not only is the physical building beautiful, but all the staff and instructors at CGI are incredibly bright, kind and motivating. The classes that are offered are the perfect revitalizing influence you need after a long day at work. And the pool & saunas... ???? It doesn't matter how exhausted you are: you will leave brighter and more energized. CGI has been an incredible source of stress relief and deep introspection that I was missing. I HIGHLY recommend anyone seeking an outlet for their physical, mental and/or spiritual fulfillment.

I started at CGI recently and now I cannot imagine a day without it. In just a few visits it has helped me sleep more soundly throughout the night, increased my energy during the day and my general well being. The staff is absolutely fantastic and every service they give has a lot of thought and heart in it. I feel so bless that i found CGI

LOVE IT! Everything you need to live a healthy and happy life in one place. I love the yoga and Tai Chi classes, facials, massages, healing sessions, etc. all available with a kind and caring staff. I highly recommend. : ) UPDATE: I just had the most wonderful facial from Irina. The best facial I have ever had. She is very knowledgeable, kind, thorough and professional. My skin is glowing and I feel nurtured. Thank you so much Irina! I am grateful.

Serenity is at CGI. do not underestimate a gym with a pool next to a golf driving range as an ordinary place. CGI will return you back to who you truly are. From the pool - which feels like it has magical water- to the yoga mind health classes. It has to be experienced to understand it’s beauty. It is spotless and cleaned constantly.
Jessica W.
CGI is a wonderful place to relax, learn, grow stronger and connect. It is spotless and well cared for. Staff is professional, knowledgeable, warm and inviting. Having worked in the luxury spa market for many years, I can honestly say this is a lovely and peaceful escape.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. I do NOT recommend this club. They do not even deserve one star. The yearly membership is $4,000 with reduced hours, old equipment, horrendous management, deteriorating facility. NOT WORTHY!! The gym equipments are old and purchased as used. They have not upgraded them since I started the membership 15 years ago. The Spa area has been deteriorated over the years with no renovation. The manager and asst manager are unprofessional, rude and deceitful.

CGI's online private classes at CGI have been invaluable to my 87- and 88-year old parents during the COVID pandemic. They do them together from home every week. The instructors at CGI have taken extra special care to keep up their balance, immunity, and positive mindset throughout the pandemic. Don't know what we would have done without them! I also attend regular classes 3X weekly. I highly recommend CGI’s classes!!!!!

The Chocolate Macadamia facial is AMAZING!! This facial is plant based and my skin is refreshed, soft, and hydrated. I am glowing!! I have very sensitive skin and suffer from psoriasis and I HIGHLY recommend! It’s currently on special for Valentine’s Day!! The esthetician, Jiyoung, made me feel super comfortable and explained how it all worked beforehand. I have had many facials but this by far was the very BEST!! Please stop in and see her!!!

I have been taking online coaching sessions with Marni since August. After 7 months I can feel a big change in how easy it is to calm myself down and breathe in moments of frustration and anxiety . It has been very helpful and I plan to continue for long time!!! Highly recommended!!

I’ve come here significantly out of shape in many ways both in body and brain. But after almost daily classes, albeit remotely as befits the times, I’m making progress in my communications with others and myself, and I see the improvements in my body. I’m grateful to all the Masters and their care for me.

My husband and i have taken private and group classes in New City. It has been wonderful in so many ways. Marlene is extremely talented and her classes are terrific. We both work full time and juggle a crazy schedule. Our time spent with CGI has been emotionally, physically and spiritually therapeutic. It's the best gift we give ourselves every week!

This place is an absolute sanctuary, I came in very stressed and left so happy I had to leave a review. All of the people who works there were so welcoming and the nicest ???????? ??
Molly L.
This is such a beautiful, artfully designed center - everything you'd look for in a gym/pool/Korean spa/etc but so much warmer, lighter and more comfortable. It's very easy to feel at home and part of a community here, and everything you look at or use is beautiful and thoughtful, with staff that are so connected and attentive. Could not recommend more!
James T.
I love going to bar classes!The instructors are all fabulous- very professional but they also make the classes fun for their clients. I am stronger, more flexible and have even lost some weight since starting at Bar. It is a great workout!
Mary V.
The facility provides top notch equipment and an amazing lifting environment. This place embraces anyone trying to take themselves to the next level, no matter how much experience you have in the fitness field. If you haven’t stopped by yet I would definitely recommend doing so
Brenda C.
CGI Holistic Fitness & Spa great! i had to cancel my membership because i moved, but they did it over the phone no questions asked! That's unheard of in any gym I've been to ever! Cleanest gym around and good staff.
Yelena R.
I am from Minnesota and visiting CGI Holistic Fitness fencer on the way home to MN was such a gift. Laying down on the floor in Himalayan and Far Infrared rooms was rejuvenating and healing. I felt refreshed after Swimming in the pool - pool temperature was just right for me - not cold at all. Meditation upstairs after walking bare foot the energy path on rocks and crystals was very peaceful and connecting to myself. The faculty kept very clean and everything you need after a busy day is there. Loved it and I’ll come back next I will be in New Jersey ?? Thank You Staff and Director for taking care of us.

CGI has been a life changer place for me. I started coming to CGI to swim and use the spa. Pool is the cleanest pool around. Dry and steam sauna were very relaxing after swimming and working out. One of these days, I found out about classes they have uptstairs at Body&Brain Education Center. I started to attending classes, had a chance to meet these amazing, welcoming people; Master Jae, and Master Marni. They embraced me and made me feel welcomed and very comfortable. My issues are starting to melt away with their help. Healing sessions, classes, workshops started healing my body and mind. I feel like a new path has been opened for me to take care of myself. Classes became my morning routine to start my day. I decided to take my 8 year old daughter to Kids Brain Education class with Master Marni, she loves her time there too... I feel so lucky to find these people and this place. It is part of our life now. Update: Because of my back and neck pain, I wasn't able to do my daily physical activities before I started taking BE classes. It's been 9 months since I started practicing wellness classes and this winter I was able to ski after a 4 year break. My body and mind are connected and strong now. I am so happy to be able to experience things that I felt to weak to do before. I am very thankful what I learned from BE classes.

(Translated by Google) CGI is a wonderful place. My experience has been very positive. In a month that I have been attending, I have seen positive changes in my body and mind. You have to create a discipline to see results. In my particular case, I try to come at least three times a week and it gives me great pleasure to do so, the more I come the more I like it. — CGI is a wonderful place. It has been a very positive experience. In just one month I already see many changes in my body and mind. I've learned it takes some discipline to get results so I attend at least 3 classes a week. I feel better the more I make it in to the center. (Original) CGI es un lugar maravilloso. Mi experiencia a sido muy positiva.

(Translated by Google) Very old facilities. This place needs to renovate and clean. Those who clean their ears in the pool for over five minutes, A lot of great people, such as employees who say, "I am a teacher is puny" to the complaining consumer. (Original) Very old facilities.

Excellent service! Must GO! I had a perfect time here. After an intense and very busy week in NYC I finally could find a spot that offered a perfect pool and several relaxing activities. Extremely good customer service (I got a complete explanation about the SPA working hours, facilities and instructions) and organized/clean facilities. Nice job!
Cécile D.
I love this place. For many reason first it has great amenities BIG pool, sauna and steam room, red light and himalyan salt rooms. So it is kind of a korean spa. super clean I love to linger and pamper myself all morning there. It offers on top of all kind of fitness machines a large variety of class for the body AND the soul. Finally the people are REALLY nice and caring about your wellbeing. I higlhy recommend the aquacize if you have an injury. (PT did not help my broken bone. after few days at the CGI I was no longer limping.!!!). TREAT YOURSELF LIFE I DID - YOU WONT REGRET!
Karen D.
Awesome Place. I really love the therapeutic Saunas and the hot and cool tub pool and other healing modalities for healthy mind and body at CGI. I love to do self care here , recuperate and feel refreshed here. All the classes are great. All the Instructors are heart warming and everyone goes out of their way to make you have a great experience whether your at the Spa or in the classes! I'd like to add that through Covid 19 pandemic they have a very diverse program with instructors, many classes, workshops and special online courses to help meet everyone's needs and different populations. I highly recommend the early Saturday online Meditation Sessions with Master Kyla Songyi which helped me get the support i needed through this pandemic. Master Kyla is a very compassionate healer and coach. She gives great education through these difficult times through her group meditation sessions and much more. Her sessions are always different and the community which meets is great. I always feel more energetic, focused and clear after all the Saturday morning sessions! So grateful! Thank you!

I had facials this morning with Jenny. She’s done a great job and my skin is so smooth afterwards. Haven’t had such a good and relaxing facial for a long time. Already scheduled my next one with her.

I joined CGI to swim. The pool is amazing! So clean, warm, uncrowded and peaceful. I love the saunas and baths. I was encouraged to try out the Body and Brain center. Here I discovered wonderful relaxing yet invigorating exercise classes with warm wonderful people. The whole place makes me feel like a queen!
Kerry A.
I have been with CHI for about 2 months. Great experience. To me, it's not your typical yoga class that I took back in the 80's. The master's will work you but it's a good, calming work out. The environment is relaxing and everyone there is friendly. CGI does not just offer yoga but other classes that you can take. The place has a lot of amenities and it's a very nice and clean environment. My master, Nicole, is great. She always checks up on me to see if I'm doing ok when she has not seen me in awhile. She always encourages me to take care of myself first. The classes are at reasonable times and works great with my work schedule. It is definitely a friendly environment. I have learned a lot from the workshops that they have and I have lost weight and feel energetic. I would definitely recommend this place.

When you walk into CGI you are greeted by warm, smiling people. CGI will help heal your body, mind and spirit. There is function, beauty, and magic in this marvelous place. I have been at CGI for 19 years.

CGI is a holistic health and well-being center in the broadest, truest sense of the word. Anything you could possibly want in an indoor health facility is at your immediate disposal - gym, pool, saunas and baths, relaxation rooms, massages, and most importantly the yoga center upstairs that will change your life on the most fundamental of levels if you are open to it.
Santashia B.
Words cannot describe how unbelievably special this place is. This is a center of true holistic principles. If you want to get physically healthy at optimal levels, this is where you should be. If you want to get spiritually healthy at optimal levels, this is definitely where you should be. The staff is not only extremely knowledgeable and have gone through years of intense training themselves, they truly care about the wellbeing of every person that walks through the door. Race, religion and background are unimportant here. Your mind, body and spirit conditions are the factors most important. If you're in need of a wellness center, CGI is definitely worth a visit. There is also a delicious, healthy cafe inside. The sandwiches and fresh juices are awesome????
June Kozak K.
Every element of CGI Holistic is amazing, from the specialized massages to the soaking tubs to the steam room to the Mec Granite hot rooms, to the exercise classes. Simply a superb place of healing and wellness.
Thomas M.
My experience at Body and Brain yoga has been the most life changing I've ever had. It changed my world from a negative to a positive one. I have been very blessed to have the opportunity to learn from all of the masters here. I'm forever grateful for the healing and positive encouragement that I've always received from the staff at CGI. They are the most uplifting, positive, kind, people I have ever met. I have learned through personal experience that the body can actually heal itself. We all have the ability within us once we learn how to tap into our natural healing ability which is what I continue to learn at CGI.
Jeongbin N.
Before I came here I only thought of Cgi as just another gym for people to exercise. Cgi is much more than just a gym with various classes and sessions from yoga classes to meditation sessions. Cgi is a fitness center that cares about not only physical health but also the mental health as well.
Will C.
It was great when i first started when i was a freshmen in high school. I always love to come and relax to have a swim. What i also like about CGI is that the staff members are amazing and they can help you with anything you need.
Kathy B.
Hello, After I join CGI center one and half month ago my life changes a lot, I change a lot. I feel more come, happy, grounded, confident and energies, my thoughts become more clear. As soon as you step into the center you will experience light, happiness and bright energy. Great team of Master Jo, Master Daehan, Master Alison, Kristine and other put all they afford to make you welcome. If deep inside, you feel that life can be more joyful and happy great CGI team will do everything to help you discover that life. But do not forget that YOU are master of your life, so be ready to put affords and dedicate YOUR time and energy to the that beautiful journey.

It was the best place ever...I went there for 3 months. By going there, my health was getting better and better mentally and physically! Especially I loved Body and Brain Center in CGI because instructor helped me grow in good way!! THE BEST PLACE EVER!!
roshara c.
Coming in this place is like going right into heaven after you've been stressed out with the matters of the world. Not only is your body going to feel great but your mind will be at ease and your heart will be touched. Staffed with the most loving and sincere of people, you will feel right at home. This is the first time I have ever made a commitment to a fitness center of any kind, and I love my decision.
Arie J.
I am an employee here and can honestly say i have never worked at such an amazing place before. Its such a pleasure working in a place that is uplifting and motivating to your soul, everyone i come across is genuine and kind. The staff and the members are like on big family and they welcome everyone with open arms. If your looking for a place to not only get healthy but to be uplifted and motivated then this is the place to go. Its not just a gym its a community ... a second home.

I was given a CGI membership as a birthday present years ago and have been enjoying using the facility on a daily basis ever since. The facility is immaculately clean and comfortable. Lockers, gym, pool are all in top shape. The staff is friendly and respectful. I am especially thankful to Sean (Personal Trainer), Kristen, who was very helpful to me on a project, and Stella at the reception area, whose beautiful smile and warm disposition always make it an added pleasure to visit this great place.

Such a beautiful place and the staff is so supportive. I always leave feeling peaceful and relaxed!

CGI is very "futuristic" being a trailblazer of Hollistic health organizations. This practice is vital to the future of humanity, really. In 6 months I have realized more about myself than I thought possible, all of my relationships improved- girlfriend, family, friends, and business, and I have walked in to my dream/ purpose. I experience genuine love and care here. There is a cafe/ deli that offers healthy food, and free tea/ coffee. Staff is genuinely sincere in all actions whether it be interacting with you or in their own work, they are truly dedicated to helping humanity. Very understanding and willing to help. I feel anyone/ everyone is welcome there, and you will leave a better person, always.
Michael I.
CGI is an amazing place. All of the masters are amazing, kind, and show respect to everyone. If a person wants peace then CGI is the place to go.

I highly recommend coming to this facility. CGI has so much to offer in many ways to help attain a healthy body, mind, & spirit. I have taken many Body & Brain Yoga classes & workshops here at CGI. They were all fantastic, healing, energizing and more. I love the center, classes, workshops, Instructors, and everything about this facility and what it offers. Everything I have done here has helped me - mind, body & spirit. Its one of the best fitness & spas I have ever been to, it is very clean, and has great energy. There are not enough words to express the wonderful things here.I have deep gratitude for everything I have experienced here.TRY IT, once you do, I am sure you will come back often :)
Eunice C.
I recently took Master Johnathan's Brain Wave Vibration energy yoga class and I thought that it was amazing! The class was very fun and active and seemed like constant dancing, when in fact it was a form of healing in the body. It also had a component of relaxation and time of self-reflection toward the end of the class, which was very refreshing. I would most definitely take it again! :)
Hever Z.
I love this place!!!!!!! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. They are guiding me how to change my life and find true happiness. Even though I only joined them 5 weeks ago, my life has changed! Don't hesitate, join them and start your journey to better life!
Nico C.
I agree 100% with Ted K.'s simple and to the point review. "Wonderful spa with an excellent staff. Well maintained and very clean. Lots of fun classes and activities! I would highly recommend CGI!!!! 6 Stars!" I also like to mention that swimming pool and wet/dry saunas are pleasure to use.
Allison H. B.
CGI is an incredible place. I began coming here during a difficult time, and just fell in love with it -- so much so, in fact, that I became an employee! The facility itself is kept impeccably clean, and from the laundry staff to the highest level of management the level of care extended I have found to be completely unsurpassed. Initially, I came because I was looking for a place to swim, and their pool is the best in the area. It is ionized, constantly regenerating by way of a double filter overflow system, and contains a very low level of chlorination. The Salt and Infrared Sauna/Therapy rooms are composed of a kind of imported stone containing 40 minerals that calm and strengthen the immune system. The healing that can occur within CGI simply must be experienced to be understood.
Sun H.
Service is near perfect. However this facility needs improvement. Recommends an additional toilet(s) for the swimmers who leaves floor wet,mostly from children. Receptionists are the faces of the facility and their warm and friendly recption has been superb.Allison,Catherine,Lana and JENNIFER are terrific. Hank Huh

I am a member 14yrs/since the club opened. The facilities are great, including steam/dry sauna. The staff, especially, front desk is friendly/informative/kind. I acknowledge, Allison, Kayla, for their great HELP. my name is DR.SUNDARA R GANTI.MY WIFE IS , NINA, ALSO VERY HAPPY/SATISFIED WITH THE CLUB. WE RECOMMEND THE CLUB HIGHLY. BY THE WAY, CJ FERRANTE IS MY GRAND SON, ON THE WEB.
Waffa E.
This spa is like none other! The moment you walk in you feel like you are in a place of luxury. They pride themselves in keeping the facility immaculately clean. They have all types of services including: swim lessons, massage services, skincare treatments/facials, body scrubs, a great healthy cafe providing all natural fresh foods, shakes, and supplements, yoga, group fitness classes like zumba, special detox retreat programs, Dahn Yoga, Gym, personal trainers, pool services, spa and saunas, Dahnmudo/Kigong courses, brain education, and more - ALL under one roof! Once you step foot inside, you definitely wouldn't want to go anywhere else. Everyone there from the staff to the members themselves have great positive attitudes and just welcome everyone with open arms.
Kevin G.
I found CGI while going through health issues (severe eczema) and taking yoga classes here has helped me manage my breathing, stress, and has reconnected me with my spirit/soul. The staff here is extremely loving and wants you to succeed in every way possible. To be honest it is quite expensive compared to other yoga studios. However in return, you receive unmatched personal attention and care.
Sungho C.
It's been almost a year since I joined a membership at CGI. Exercising at the facility became my everyday routine. I am enjoying both the wet and dry sauna, swimming at the heated pool, the relaxing hot tub, etc. The sanitation and peacefulness of the facility is excellent. The staff members are very kind and professional. The pleasant conversation with other members are also one of the many reasons I am constantly making trips to CGI.
Jamie D.
I've been a member of many gyms but CGI, by far, has been the best establishment. The staff is just phenomenal. I am an endurance athlete and this facility has all of the amenities I need to achieve my goals.
Ted K.
Wonderful spa with an excellent staff. Well maintained and very clean. Lots of fun classes and activities! I would highly recommend CGI!!!! 6 Stars!
Kristin Q.
CGI is certainly a one-of-a-kind facility in Bergen County. Whether you are interested in yoga, group exercise, swimming or spiritual healing, CGI has something for everyone. After joining, I noticed drastic results in my health condition almost instantly. Dahn Yoga is unlike other types of yoga in its healing power. After suffering from migraines for a decade with no relief from western medicine, CGI is the reason I have made progress these past few months. Master Michelle, Jay, Jonathan and Nicole are awesome and all bring special energy. They do not give up on you and constantly challenge you to become the healthiest and happiest person you can be. The level of professionalism and cleanness of the facility makes it state of the art and the clientele are courteous and respectable. It is nice that the staff knows me by my first name... I also love the different types of saunas and yoga with Shuli.
Laura F.
When asked to write this review I was not sure how to put whatI have received into words. That is because what I have received is not tangible. I have received so much for than anything material or tangible. From the first day I started at Dahn yoga I was supported and loved. I had masters who genuinely cared about about my health and happiness. People who saw potential in me and wanted me to find that potential for myself so that I could over come my limitations and challenges. With their help and with hard work I feel I have been able to overcome these obstacles. Dahn yoga is not just a yoga practice but it affects all aspects of my life. I have started working out and eating healthier. Also, I have changed the way I see myself. For many years I focused on the negative things in my life. The negative things about myself and others. With this practice I have started to shift my thinking and focus on the positive. I have to focus on the positive because by focusing on the negative you actually create the problem. This practice has shown me the power of my brain and I hope others receive the same benefits that I did.
Araksya H.
CGI is a place where I have all the fun starting from swimming in an ionized swimming pool to taking my professional ballroom classes with an amazing instructor "Araksya"!!! I recommend to try it all!!!
tiffany s.
I've been a CGI member for about 15 years. This is my second home. ^^ I am almost a clean freak but this place is spotless. The attention to details is flawless. Also the staff is friendly and supportive. You will be happy coming to CGI to use either facilities or services.
Blanca More R.
My experience visiting CGI was brilliant. The staff and members are all very welcoming and positive which gives the entire environment an inviting atmosphere to be around. The classes that are offered are all creatively design to help improve your mental, physical and spiritual well being and not to mention that you’ll have enjoyable time participating in each exercise. I appreciated the fact that there were staff members who were encouraging and participating in the class with you, which made my time there much more at ease. Their spa was the most relaxing space that I've ever been in down to their sauna and hot and cold tubs, a great way to finish off a day of exercise and meditation. I cannot wait to go back and I would recommend everyone to join or sign up for even for one class because you’ll end up leaving wanting to go back.
Daniel S.
I visited CGI because I was experiencing difficulties with sleep. I spoke with Johnathan Martinez and after the first session, my sleep pattern improved 100% (literally). I went from waking up multiple times throughout the night to sleeping through the night consistently. In addition, I came away feeling more relaxed and with an action plan to ensure consistent improvements across many areas. I highly recommend speaking with Johnathan and the friendly staff at CGI. Also, Kyla, the General Manager, took the time to introduce herself, which I thought was a very nice touch and greets me every time I visit.
Mark A.
I have taken the spa membership as my interest is swimming. I am tempted to write a bad review, so that CGI doesn't attract too many people, but I must admit that this is the best spa side club I have joined. The standard of neatness and cleanliness is very good. The pool is perfect for me - 25 yards, 4 wide lanes, plenty of different floats, no detectable chemicals, pleasant natural lighting. When I have the time I will enjoy sitting in sauna with my kindle. In general I dislike piped music, but at least the musak in the changing room is good - eg Brahms piano concerto #2. It's a little expensive, but the facilities make it worth it for me. I think the Koreans learnt how to look after their bodies thru their life long ago and I'm catching up with them thru CGI.
Rita P.
I love coming to CGI!!! The staff is very nice and welcoming and I enjoy the classes a lot. I feel more energized, calmer at the same time, and became so much more flexible and stronger. I highly recommend it!
Jeslyn R.
I've been attending CGI Holistic Fitness and Spa's yoga classes for one week - I started after coming to the "Heroes Night" event, which was a wonderful experience with me. I used to feel so much tension in my back, and in my lungs, and I had very tight hamstrings. I had an interest in attending the "Finding Your True self" workshop (also called Shim Sung in Korean), because I wanted to find answers about myself, and I knew it would be fun. After one week of attending classes, my breathing felt much easier, and I felt much more calm and relaxed, but I still had very tight hamstrings (it had only been a week after all!), and my breathing technique only improved slightly. However, after the "Finding Your True self" workshop - which is a two day workshop where you learn from other people who are students at the center - just like you - you find a sense of yourself, your body and who you really want to be inside - my stretching has dramatically improved, my body feels much stronger as does my soul, and my breathing problems literally seem to have vanished, which is AMAZING. I'VE LIVED WITH ASTHMA MY ENTIRE LIFE AND I CAN'T FEEL ANY TROUBLE BREATHING ANYMORE! I feel like a new me, and I feel so much healthier and happier. Thank you CGI!!!
Mony S.
My journey with Yoga started three years ago. My oncologist recommended that I try some form of meditation so I tested out a couple of places in Bergen county but did not feel that yoga was something for me. Then I bought a groupon to Dahn Yoga and I am so glad that I stuck with it, coz now I am hooked! This studio is a sanctuary, a place to become peaceful yet strong. It really helps you become more in tune with your body! Over the past year I have gone from 2 classes a week to 5!! Their practice is by far the golden standard. With many classes to choose from, this really is the place to go for any level practitioner. While the tai-chi class (Thursday night) is one of faves, the vibrations class (Friday night) is a great way to combine a cardio and yoga mix all at one. There’s nothing like getting your heart rate up and pumping and then to relax it on down with controlled breathing. The Masters are incredible and will always encourage you to challenge yourself. You are guaranteed to get a lot out of every class you take. Give it a try, I promise you will not regret it!

Dahn Yoga is more than just coached stretching and relaxing. It is a system of thinking, feeling, and listening to your body and mind as one unit, with the goal of attaining somewhat of a spiritual calmness. As a member for 3+ years, not only am I able to touch my toes/twist 180 degrees/hold high plank, but I can breath and control the flow of energy to various parts of my body, calm myself from anxiety, and regain a smile after a tough day. I am more centered, balanced, and even-keeled from the practice. Masters Johnathan, Nicole, Linda, and Kyla are dedicated to continually sharing the knowledge and experience they receive from their own intense training, and always encourage "us students" to challenge ourselves to reach the deepest levels of our potential. I can honestly say I am a happier person from the experiences at CGI...

CGI is a beautiful facility with so much to offer. I really love the pool and the sauna. There are so many activities to choose from at this facility. There are many different types of yoga, pilates and other training classes, and the energy yoga seems to be my favorite choice. The staff here are so helpful and caring. It's a really comfortable and warm environment.

I have been a member at CGI for 10 years, first joining as a yoga member to find alternative solutions to recover from chronic Lyme disease. Through out my time at CGI, I have taken advantage of numerous workshops,classes and healing massage sessions. Not only have I recovered from Lyme disease, but I have experienced positive changes in my physical, emotional and mental well being. The instructors, massage therapists and programs here have helped me to find real solutions in my life and today I experience life with positive energy, inner peace and hope for a great future.

What does CGI means to me and how it has helped me to lift up my selfsteem. I started to work for CGI on August of 2012, at that time I weighed about 164 pounds. Not really worring about what I look like or how I felt, after a couple of months I started to notice how good and healthy the members looked. I decided to join and thats when my journey started. Before my daily work at CGI, I work out with a trainer, use the suanas, Pool, and attend some of their Yoga Classes. After 5 months, I have seen a big transformation in myself ( body and mind). I lost 19 pounds, feel healthier, look younger (I have been told), and most of all, I have gained my selfesteem back. I truly and sincerly recommend this place to whom ever would like to make a change in their life.
