To our Gold’s Gym Paramus Family,

It is with tremendous sadness to announce that after 28 years we will be closing our doors at Gold’s Gym Paramus on Tuesday, November 3rd at 8pm. We are heartbroken to have to make this decision as we worked very hard to get back open after an unprecedented 6 month shutdown. It was great to be able to open back up and help people again for the past 2 months but at this time we are regrettably unable to continue operating any longer.
While we are filled with a wide range of many emotions we choose to celebrate what was an amazing 28 years with the greatest staff, members and community anyone could ever ask for! We look back with pride and gratitude at the thousands of lives we have touched, the results our members have achieved and the many friendships that were made at the gym. We are especially proud of the community service and charity work we were able to perform as giving back to our community was always one of our top priorities from the day we opened our doors. We have always wanted to be known as a gym that makes a difference and we certainly hope that we were able to accomplish that goal and make a difference in your life.

Financial Transition Tax Will Drive Data Centers Out of New Jersey

Mahwah NJ, The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce opposes legislation (S-2902/A-4402) which would impose a new tax on financial transactions, such as electronic stock trades, that flow through major data centers in New Jersey.

Simply put, the tax could backfire on New Jersey. The mere discussion of this tax has caused several stock exchanges to begin exploring moving their data centers out of New Jersey – to states that don’t impose such a tax. Last month, the New York Stock Exchange, which has a data center in Mahwah, N.J., said it ran one of its exchanges from a back-up data center in Chicago to demonstrate its readiness to move out of New Jersey. Two other exchange operators, Nasdaq Inc. and Cboe Global Markets Inc., also indicated that they would leave New Jersey over the tax. If New Jersey loses data centers, the state would actually be looking at less revenue and less jobs.

River Vale NJ, Assemblywomen Holly Schepisi ,” last Thursday, the NJ Democratically controlled legislature voted to increase our corporate business tax rate to the HIGHEST in the entire nation. This comes on the heels of our businesses struggling to survive after being closed for months by the Governor’s Executive Orders as a result of COVID. Rather than make cuts to spending, such as $4 million appropriated to a golf course, we decided to proverbially kick our businesses in the head as they attempt to emerge from this fiscal crisis. Below is the video of me arguing against these increases at this time.”
