Testimonials
Surfside is a perfect summer gym. Excellent equipment, friendly abs competent staff. Surfside is a fabulous boutique gym in Avalon. I go there whenever I am in town. It’s clean and well-equipped with a friendly atmosphere! I have always enjoyed the group workouts at Surfside AV. Instructors and classes are top notch.
I have struggled with my weight for my entire life. I have been on every diet known to man and spend thousands and thousands of dollars in my attempt to lose weight. I tried numerous personal trainers and ended up being frustrated with the lack of their personal investment in me, and my goals. On a last ditch effort, I thought I would give personal training one more try when I saw Cheryl’s ad at the Abington Club. She was personable and understanding and made me feel comfortable confiding in her about my hang- ups and my goals. The results: I lost 30 lbs in 6 weeks!! But more importantly I felt strong and confident for the first time in my life. I felt like I could do this and win the war against the weight! I’d recommend Cheryl without hesitation to anyone and especially to that person who has given up on diets, on trainers and given up on yourself. There is hope and I am proof. Cheryl changed my life, let her change yours!
Surfside Fitness continues to provide excellent options for fitness classes. Cheryl and all the instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging and fun. They’re my favorite way to stay fit throughout the summer!
Given the situation during the summer of 2020 your team did great keeping the place extra clean and made us all feel safe and we all appreciated your efforts, 2021 will be better
Fantastic fitness center and some of the best boot camp classes around!
Cheryl and the Surfside team are high energy and they know what they're doing. The classes are full-body workouts with plenty of guidance for adapting movement to fit my needs. Surfside has saved my sanity, and waistline, during the pandemic and I can't wait to see them in person this summer!
Surfside classes are the best. I love the outside classes and look forward to taking them. Surfside also has the best instructors. They make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The class instructors always offer modifications for the exercises which is fantastic! Keep up the great job!
I like the variety of classes provided by Surfside. The staff are all friendly and motivating. Thank you for proving quality fitness options in Sea Isle!!!
The gym is kept very clean and the equipment is well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. I’ve sampled other gyms in the area (just to see differences), but always return to Surfside Fitness.
My husband and I go to Surfside Fitness each summer since we vacation in Avalon. Staff is great! Gym is very clean!! We enjoying going back every year.
Thank you for keeping the protocols in place this winter, and opening
Loving the zoom classes. As someone who only used Surfside when on vacation in the summers, I am now hooked! I'd love if you offered zoom classes (even if pre-recorded) throughout the year as well. Thanks for getting us all through this crazy time together keeping fit!
I love Surfside. I actually like it better than my gym at home in the winter.
I came to Avalon for 2 weeks in the summer of 2020 for vacation, and y’all were so welcoming! The gym was absolutely beautiful, I felt extremely comfortable working out
Your classes are top notch! Your staff are amazing,highly-motivated, and greatly skilled trainers! Thank you for keeping the 7 Mile Beach community healthy and happy!!
I have known Cheryl, as a fitness trainer for both individuals and sports teams, for the past ten years. In March, 2009 I asked Cheryl to help the La Salle College High School Football Team with their strength, conditioning and flexibility workouts. Cheryl took our team through workouts, specifically strength and flexibility, and our team improved immensely using her workouts. She demonstrated a take charge attitude and immediately gained the players respect and controlled the group from the very start. Her motivation, knowledge and command of the sessions were very evident and most importantly the workouts proved very productive.
We adopted many of the exercises she demonstrated to our full time workouts and continued using them throughout the pre-season and season

I have known Cheryl Herzog for close to 5 years. All you have to do is mention the name “Cheryl” in the hallways of Upper Dublin and the girls who have attended her preseason workout sessions either smile or cringe because they know she can really “kick their butt” so to speak.
While working and training high school athletes, a person needs a certain personality to reach all levels of ability. Cheryl can reach every single athlete right where they are and challenge and work them to become better. She has that quality, work ethic and passion that inspires the girls to do their best and is evident in her own fitness level.
The girls’ lacrosse team has won three straight league championships. We came into the season and were able to outrun our opponents because of our fitness level. It all starts with the preseason workouts that Cheryl Herzog offers to anyone that wants to take her on!
