Great meal preps from Studio 16! I am able to have breakfast, lunch and dinner all with meal prep…read more I don't need to think about my calories and macros. I notice that whenever I'm eating meal prep, I drop weight because wiser decisions are made easy!

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!

I joined Speakeasy in early April 2022, looking for my version of the perfect strength training…read moreclass and thankfully for me, I found it! Their classes are the perfect amount of time and use various tools for moves (kettlebells, trx, clubs and bodyweight), have minimal cardio and no more than 5-6 people in group size which allows for plenty of attention/form correction if needed. Classes are challenging but NEVER feel like torture, I always enjoy them which has not always been the case in other studios' classes. They change their programming up every 4 weeks and each program targets the full body. Since starting about 2.5 years ago, in addition to getting stronger in general, I've noticed that some irritating chronic issues in my body have gone away by strength training. I haven't felt the need to go to the chiropractor in a year, my posture is better and shoulder and hip irritation are gone. Clearly these issues were being caused by muscle weakness and I just didn't know it. I wasn't expecting these issues to clear up from strength training but am so grateful that they did! In addition, Steve the owner is truly a community minded guy. He's generous and kind and has created a great place (all of the coaches are wonderful). Can say I still recommend Speakeasy 10/10 two and a half years later!

Been working out with the speakeasy crew for a couple years. Started all remote over Zoom, and now…read morehappily in-person. Great community, and solid kettlebell-based workout structure that allows for continuous growth. I've gone up two weight tiers since I started and their group classes are the part of my fitness routine that were the most consistent through the pandemic and beyond. Highly recommended!

Fabulous experience. I have many neck and back problems which she was able to work through and…read moreease my pain. When I had acute flare ups she calmed them. Her knowledge of the body and its mechanics is huge in working out the kinks. I recommend wholeheartedly.

I am a runner and a brand-new client of Jennie KixMiller for therapeutic massage (she's also a…read morepersonal trainer and has a yoga/pilates studio). Although Jennie came highly recommended by 2 very athletic Brooklyn frends (who credit her personal training and therapeutic massages with allowing them to maintain ambitious fitness regimens), I never used her services before because I live in Manhattan and Hands On Health's studio is in Park Slope, Brooklyn. That is, until today. I had a "runner's emergency", namely a horribly painful piriformis muscle in my tush that caused radiating pain in my legs which made it almost impossible to walk...much less to run! In desperation, I decided that I would finally make the trek to Brooklyn to seek relief from Jennie - so I phoned her, and although I was a new customer, she squeezed me in (pardon the pun) on a last-minute basis to her very busy schedule, because she knew I was acutely suffering. After an hour at Hands on Health (an unassuming but serene setting, located 2 blocks from the 15th Street F subway in Park Slope) and some amazingly expert therapeutic massage, I was able to stand upright again. Unlike a number of massage practitioners at the local Chinese "Qi Gong Tui Na" places I've tried for prior sports injuries, Jennie KixMiller really knows exactly what she is doing. Aside from giving me a great massage, she also showed me some preventive and remedial stretches and exercises for the acute problem I was having, and provided other helpful fitness guidance. My particular issue is severe and will require a few more massage treatments, but based upon my pain-relieving experience today, I am really looking forward to continuing to work with Jennie until the last kink is out of my butt and my legs! I don't even mind the F train ride : )).

I decided to quit the Armory after a promising few months. I got tired of waiting to use equipment…read morein the weight room, of the teens who never wipe anything down and of the kids in the cardio room who are there to play. Sad to go, it's a beautiful space and the staff is friendly. BTW quitting is NOT easy. I tried numerous times by email while I was travelling for work and landed up paying for months I never used.

After nearly a year of emailing and notifying the gym staff and "complaint box" about, I finally…read morequit this place. The staff doesn't help clean the place up, people don't re-rack their weights, the free weights and kettlebells are impossible to use because they can only be accessed by the classes, there's a single bench press area, a single squat rack/deadlift platform, spin bikes are only available during classes, two benches, and as I mentioned, nearly no available kettlebells and free weights outside of classrooms. Teens take over the place, as do unsupervised children. Lifting on a wooden floor is dangerous. I personally had to put up a "broken do not use sign" on a broken peleton, because the staff didn't notice. There's one plyo box that you have to run around to find. NO showers...in a gym. The manager, Chris, does not address your concerns, even after contacting him personally.

I've been training at Grey's for almost 5 months and its been great! I go consistently twice a week…read moreand have definitely started to see improvement in terms of muscle development, strength and weight-loss. At the moment I am only doing 30 min sessions and although they are quick, they are fast-paced and effective (i.e. I now have a butt!) Like a few other commenters, I supplement my training with other activities like walking/running, etc. I could probably benefit from class pass or something else, but at the moment my schedule is only really suited for a twice a week thing. That being said, if you're like me and can only do this training as your means of working out, you WILL still see great improvements. I also do love the solo sessions verse being around other people who are watching you sweat and grunt in weird positions...unless you're into that.

The gym is small but well maintained and has solid equipment. And the trainers that I had: Brad…read morethen Charles were both great. So you might be wondering, why the two stars? The owner. He churns through trainers like nobody's business. He went through at least 6 of them in the 15 months I worked out there. There was a point at which he got into a dispute with the landlord of the building that resulted in a cease and desist from the city for failure to have proper permitting. I'm told it was over a leak that had not been fixed, and indeed for at least 6 months, there has been a jury-rigged funnel and tube to deal with a leak coming from the apartment above. Despite the owner, I enjoyed the trainers and continued working out there twice a week until I moved.
