Dani & her team of fitness trainers are absolutely AMAZING!!! I was looking for a workout space…read morethat I could feel empowered and this exceeded my expectations. The first session was simply a conversation with the trainer solely for the purposes of learning what was important to me so they could tailor not just the workouts, but also ways to help me feel inspired as a whole person. That made me feel so special. The trainers were sure to respect and be mindful of what could seemingly be small details but were important me. That for me is priceless! The physical space itself is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It was designed with so much intentionality that it made the workout sessions even more enjoyable. The small group sessions are lovely. They aren't overstimulating and that was key for me. Every workout session left me feeling inspired, encouraged and renewed not just physically but mentally & emotionally. Lastly, Dani, the owner and founder, is an absolute PLEASURE to do business with and her passion for mind and body fitness is evident. She wants every client to get what they need to feel empowered. She makes herself accessible and easy to communicate with either by phone, email or text. As a nurse leader, I am deeply appreciative of what she has created at Very Personal Training and will continue to do support her business not only with my own personal training but also with group training events that I will host for my clinical team and friends. This place is truly one of a kind!

If you've been to any of the other PFs around here, you're gonna love this one. It's clean, the supplies are stocked, and the biggest advantage.. the staff does NOT treat you like you're asking them for change. I appreciate the fact they acknowledge my existence and genuinely try to help with issues, unlike at other gyms. Thanks for creating a comfortable atmosphere. The only downside is they don't have gender neutral bathrooms, which can be difficult for non-passing trans people. Though my partner hasn't had a problem when they come with a cis passing person.

Great gym- very clean- staff is very nice. I had a problem with billing and they fixed it.read more

The space: Its cozy, simple, clean and still smells new…read more It's designed to make you feel like you're the only girl/boy in the world with your dedicated trainer. I'm impressed at how efficient and configurable Nate has made this space. I hardly notice when he's setting up to have me work on the next thing. That said the equipment is basic enough that you can replicate the routines at any commercial gym. The Trainer: Nate knows his stuff! First of all I blew my lower back out doing burpees in a kickboxing class due to the recommended form. My partner who also trains with him recommended Nate to me. So we met and right away Nate evaluated me and built a 4 day workout plan that I can do on my own. Additionally, he's corrected everything I've done wrong for years and helped me isolate muscles to maximize the effectiveness of the workout. He's also introduced me to amino acids (I know...basic stuff, but not to me) he also taught me a lot of new challenging stuff and makes sure I keep up with my diaphragm exercises to strengthen my back. So far my results have been great (lost 12lbs, increased muscle mass) which is a bit of a mind trip because I'm never tired or in pain! Above all, Nate is very personable and charming! I've seen him flex his communication style to work with people all over the spectrum (a business man at heart). He's also in great shape which is aspirational and I guess what you'd want in a personal trainer. I haul my developing buns of steel 18 blocks to train with Nate, he's been worth every penny, I doubt you'll be disappointed!

First of all, this space feels very safe during the pandemic. It's wide open, has air purifiers and…read moreoften open windows, everyone wears masks, and I've seen a maximum of five others in the gym at any given time (and we are well-spaced out). There's also a room in the back where one could work out, if concerned. It's been great for my mental health during these times. Second, the trainers are SO courteous, knowledgable and professional (and fun). I'm not only getting in shape, but I'm also receiving a resistance training education here, haha. They take into account your goals, any past injuries and limitations in range of motion, and design a personalized workout plan for each month. There is a focus on how to breathe properly during lifting (to maximize the benefit and avoid injuries), core exercises, and mix of bodyweight/band/free weight exercises. Finally, yes, this gym is expensive relative to a non-training gym. However, you get the education for life, and it is sooo much cheaper than getting a personalized trainer elsewhere. I feel grateful that there is a gym like this nearby.

Tommy, Ruben, and Elsie are the best. Honestly, they are why I am writing this review and not…read morekeeping this secret to myself. I've been in NYC for well over two decades and been a member of many gyms. Really, all of them. From luxury chains to neighborhood spots to everything in between and Brooklyn Health and Performance is the one place that I have found true success. They're motto "this is the last gym you'll ever join" is 100% spot on. I do semi private training with a custom workout and I add on unlimited bootcamp classes and it's everything I need to stay focused, accountable, and keep things interesting. The boot camp classes are different each day and the custom programs are on a 4 week cycle and get more difficult as you do them. Just when you feel you're getting slightly comfortable with them it's time to start all over. It's this combo that has lead to a complete transformation both physically and mentally. I can't say enough about the great team here. Friendly, knowledgeable, and serious about what they're doing.

I've been active…read morepretty much my whole life, but shied away from consistent weight training because I was never sure I was doing it right, and sustained an injury during the pandemic trying to do it on my own. I came to PhysioRX intent on getting fit and learning how to strength train the right way. PhysioRX did not disappoint. The therapists are extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and helpful in getting you to your goals. So whether you're a skilled athlete or a total novice, you're sure to reach your goals through personalized workouts and their expert guidance.

I never write reviews anymore but felt it was worth it this time. I had a nagging leg injury from a…read morehike that wouldn't go away on its own, so I decided it was time for me to finally get professional help. I could have gone with a traditional, if not, old school physical therapist, but decided to give PhysioRX a try. I was nervous about going here though, as I'm not a super athlete or major weight lifter but figured if they had such great reviews, that I should give them a shot. I'm so glad I did! I had my phone consultation, then an in person one. I mainly worked with Connor who was an absolute joy to work with. While the approach wasn't what I expected, I am just as happy as every other reviewer. Once I did the phone and in person consult, I was equipped with an app where they assign all the exercises specifically for you. It was so easy to use. The exercises were personalized for me, and when I found ones I didn't like, they'd swap them for something else. I basically texted Connor and Will 4-5 times a week on my progress. Will, who was my secondary coach and available just as much as Connor was, and he was also awesome. Even if I didn't give them an update on how my workout went, they'd often check on me anyway. I had some weeks where I really didn't want to go to the gym, or felt very discouraged. They were there every step of the way. We even did some check in calls which I appreciated so much. I only intended on working with them for 1 month, but every time the month was finishing, I felt I had a lot of progress and continued my journey to 3 months. To be honest, I'm soooo sad to finish my 3 month stint because both of them were so great to work with, and I've seen major improvement in my leg. As someone who doesn't see themselves as an athlete by any means, their coaching really helped me get to a good place. I also realized that I was going to the gym all wrong for years. I learned so much from this experience, and kind of see my injury as a blessing in disguise as I now view rehab, exercise, and the gym in a completely different way. Thanks to Connor and Will for doing such impactful work. If I ever get injured again (although I hope not), I'll gladly reach out to PhysioRX. If you are on the fence, just book some time with them. You won't regret it!

The gym is consistently being cleaned, and the equipment is well maintained. The class instructors are amazing - full of positive energy and always ensuring that the class members have the proper form for the corresponding exercises or workouts. The personal trainers care about their clients and work with their schedules. If you ever have a question or concern, you can contact Gym Management (via the new app) and poof receive an immediate response: We need new chains for the heavy bags (boxing classes) - done!

It was going to be my third time here. Like all warmups where it seems to be standard practice to…read morejump rope. Unfortunately for people who may not be prepared like I was on a Sunday morning at 11am, I immediately cramped up and knew I couldn't continue with class (which was a bit crowded anyway). I asked for the instructor for some help and he guided me to foam roll my calf, but alas it was really bad - hard to tell if I simply didnt stretch or if I didnt have enough water beforehand. In any case typically the body conditioning is extreme for 30 minutes and then to a bit more technique on the various bags and rotating to one on one sparring. So generally instruction is good but more advice on stretching and reduction of injury would help. Lockers should be clipped as there always seems to none available. Cleaning is also very much needed as the floor is quite bad, spit buckets filled with trash. Bring your own towel (for sweat) and water bottle.

Great gym, staff, huge space, excellent! Accommodating for our needs, very clean and well kept.read more

There is no better gym in New York…read more Here you can not only find some of the most talented fighters in New York, but also friendly folks (both members and trainers assistants) who make it their goal to work with you to make you the best you can be. This gym also has a reputation for helping folks cut weight. I know many members who have lost 30 - 80 (yes, 80!) lbs here! I myself saw a max loss of 28 lbs. (202 down to 174 at one point.) Greg Ardon, the unassuming owner of this gym (known for his training of Hilary Swank in Million Dollar Baby), has a patient, quiet style that is combined with his extreme knowledge of fighting and a slick sense of humor. With that being said, the biggest lessons you learn here are modesty, self-confidence, and courtesy. These three things are more important than any bag you can hit, weight you can lift, or rope you can skip. I highly recommend you try this gym. 2011 Update: This gym is now officially a pro gym. That means they can train pro fighters, represent pro fighters, and their fighters can compete on a professional level, as well.
