A respiratory virus tragically attacking New Jersey’s most vulnerable populations is nothing new. In fact, it’s a really bad case of déjà vu.
The pandemic scourge ravaging the state has a sad unpleasant precedent. More than a year prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, an adenovirus swept through the Wanaque Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation killing 11 children and sickening 36 residents.

Governor Murphy’s “Crazy Eddie” Borrowing Scheme

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.
