    ABOUT US

    Earned Not Given. Where real change starts.

    Point Five, visually represented as ".5," is a symbol of excellence, exclusivity, and the relentless pursuit of being the best. It refers to the elite. Not just the top 1%, but the 0.5% who truly distinguish themselves through discipline, drive, and a refusal to settle. Point Five Lab was built for people who think that way: athletes, professionals, and everyday people who want to rise above their current level and become the strongest, healthiest, most capable version of themselves.

    Founded by Dale Arena, Point Five Lab is a hybrid performance, transformation, and biomechanics facility in Haskell, NJ, serving athletes and adults across North Jersey. We're built on a simple belief: your body was designed to move well, perform at a high level, and live without pain. With the right coaching, anyone can get there.

    We combine strength training, fat loss programming, speed development, and expert movement analysis to identify dysfunctions, correct imbalances, and fix problems at their source rather than chase symptoms. Every member starts with an assessment, and every program is built around your body, your goals, and your life.

    We train youth athletes as young as 7, adults well into their 60s, and everyone in between. Whether you're a competitive athlete looking to gain an edge, a parent who wants to keep up with their kids, or someone tired of living with pain and limitations, Point Five Lab is where real change starts. Our semi-private sessions deliver the energy and accountability of group training with the personalized attention of a private coach, and our one-on-one private training and nutrition coaching round out a complete system for transformation.

    At Point Five Lab, results aren't handed out. They're earned. Greatness isn't a destination. It's a daily choice to outwork yesterday's version of yourself. If you're ready to be part of the .5%, this is where it starts.

    I have been rehabilitating my back injury in concert with my PT and the progress is incredible so far. Dale is very diligent and thorough, isolating muscles for optimal benefit. My orthopedic doctor said it’s the key to my rehab. We are about 80% functionality of my back while continually correcting other issues. At 67, I believe that working with Dale at Point Five is the key to my flexibility and strength development.

    I have been training with point 5 and Dale for 8 plus years now and it is the best training around. Every athletic injury I have encountered, Dale has been able to help me recover and strengthen my body. For being an athlete this is exactly what I need when it comes to strength, fitness, and recovery.

    I’ve been going to this gym for a while now, and at 60 years old, I can honestly say I feel better than I have in years. My strength, energy, and overall health have improved more than I expected. What really sets this place apart is the one-on-one training. Dale Arena works personally with each member, no matter their fitness level, and that individual attention is the key to success here. He truly cares about your progress and makes sure everything is done safely and at your pace. I’ve even seen him train professional athletes, which says a lot about his experience and ability. Whether you’re just starting out or at a high level, he adapts to you. The atmosphere is welcoming and never intimidating. I highly recommend this facility to anyone looking to feel better, get stronger, and work with someone who is truly dedicated to your success.
