Wow! I wanted to post how amazing jana and Rob from Absolute fitness are. I have been getting great results from their workouts way surpassing previous trainers and Absolute Fitness is so reasonably priced! Whether I am in Miami or NYC, I totally look forward to my sessions as they put me "in the zone"! TY Absolute Fitness for slimming me down three belt sizes in the last few months! You are Stars! p.s, yes, there is more than one model staying beautiful with Jana and Rob at Absolute Fitness. read more

Rob @ Absolute Fitness is great! We switched from in person, to via facetime during the pandemic and haven't lost a beat. Rob pushes me with positive reinforcement, new excercises for variety, and real results. Thanks again Rob! read more

I've been a client of Jana's for 4 years now. Originally she trained me in person, and then with the pandemic, we moved to virtual (over FaceTime) sessions. We work out twice per week together, and I can honestly say it still amazes me every single workout HOW MUCH she can push me to improve and become more fit. I'm a woman in my 50s, who also has some medical issues in the last couple years, and I'm more fit now than in my 30s. I highly recommend Jana and Absolute Fitness. My life has improved so much since I met Jana. She is good not just for your body but for your mind too!!! read more

My wife and I have been working with Rob and Jana for more than 10 years. There are a lot of gyms out there, but AbsoluteFitness by Rob and Jana are #1. Covid is drastically altering our lives and continues to do so. I rely on the personal virtual sessions to stay connected and stay in shape. In April, I had an unbelievably bad knee injury that Rob was able to successfully guide me through getting back to shape. To keep your health and sanity, I highly recommend ABSOLUTEFITNESSNYC. read more

I started training with Jana over 3 years ago. A colleague and friend referred me to her and I am so grateful! Every workout is different (with a few re-occurring but effective moves) and catered toward whatever you want to improve. Jana is the ultimate professional! She practices what she preaches and the accountability is the main reason why I have kept a consistent workout schedule for 3 years. She helped me tone up and encouraged me to jog on the treadmill after years of not working out. I toned up and went down a pant size and lost 10+ pounds. Since the COVID pandemic, I continued with virtual sessions and I'm so thankful I did! Jana created a very effective workout via facetime using what little workout equipment I had at home (yoga mat & dumbbells). It's so important to stay active during this time- thank you, Jana! (And Rob!) I highly recommend Jana @ Absolute Fitness for anyone looking to hire a personal trainer! read more

I have been going to Absolute Fitness for nearly three years and it's hands down one of my best health and fitness investments. Rob and Jana are dedicated, knowledgable and serious about helping you reach your goals. It's a small operation which means you enjoy the sort of one-on-one attention that's hard to get in large franchise gyms. The equipment is well maintained and the rates affordable. read more

For those of you looking for a personal trainer....LOOK NO FURTHUR! Where to begin? First off, the affordability alone is reason enough to join on board. I've had personal trainers in the past at the big name health clubs but with their rates at around $100 a pop, the toll it took on my pocketbook just didn't make it worth it. So I did alot of research in search of a more reasonably priced trainer and discovered absolute fitness website. There rates are less than 50% the average NYC trainer (their rates are listed on their website)! Part of the reason the rates are so low is because the sessions are based on 30 minutes instead of 1 hour. However, the 30 minutes you get you are worked HARD. In addition to your training, you get 15-20 minutes to do cardio on your own either before or after your training session on a treadmill or bike. So when you add that in, your really getting close to an hour. This place has changing rooms, a shower, lockers and you even have the option to leave your sneakers their (which I do, because you wants to lug around more than they have to). For those of you that work or live near by (as I do), it's the ideal situation to go on your lunch break. Between 30 minutes of training and a 10-15 minutes jog, i'm back at my office within the same hour. Oh...and Your first session is free so you can get a feel and decide whether or not it's a good fit for you! On a testimonial note, I've been seeing Rob now for about 2 years & and because of this help, guidance, motivation & fitness know how... I'm proud to say that I am roughly 60lbs slimmer! Yes 60lbs! I have the pictures to prove it! Give it a shot, you have nothing to lose. I don't think you'll be disappointed! read more

I've worked twice a week with Jana for three years, and I'm in the best shape of my life and -- for the first time ever -- able to consistently exercise on a daily basis. Jana's sessions have built my strength and stamina, and also made me realize the absolute necessity of exercise for good mental health. I feel great! Working with her has motivated me to exercise in some way almost every day. I've also recently taken up surfing -- I'm a woman in my late 40s -- and there is no way I could pursue this demanding activity without Jana's workouts keeping me in excellent shape. She and Rob and wonderful people who are a pleasure to be around. I've worked out with her both in person and virtually, with great results for both. Highly, highly recommended. read more

I am not athletic. Nor have I ever enjoyed any form of exercise. I started working out with Jana a year ago and I cannot express how much my life has changed. Jana is not just a personal trainer, but a fitness coach. She constantly motivates me to eat better, sleep more, and exercise smarter. I am so grateful to all that she has done for me. The way it works -you are supposed to come before your session and do cardio for at least 20 minutes - there are two treadmills and a bike. Sessions are 30 minutes and you don't get a break! I told Jana at our first session my fitness goals and she doesn't let me forget them. She constantly pushes me and I feel myself getting stronger with each session. I'm so grateful to Absolute Fitness for their affordable rates and wonderful staff - Jana and Rob are fabulous. If they have space, I would highly recommend you work with them. read more

I have been training with Rob twice a week for over 10 months now. He is a fantastic trainer. First of all, each session is incredibly efficient -- 30 minutes for the workout (non-stop action) in which I get as much done with Rob as would otherwise take me 1 hour. He keeps me on my toes and pushes me to a higher level. Second, before & after the lifting, I do a total of 30 minutes of cardio at Absolute Fitness, so my total workout ends up being an hour and is excellent value. Third, Rob does a great job keeping me at my peak even when I'm not with him. He checks in outside of training sessions to make sure my diet is on track and encourages other workouts to help me reach my goals. I have found that working out with Rob has led to an entire lifestyle upgrade, so it means a lot more to me than just the extra gym sessions. I absolutely recommend Absolute Fitness. read more

Absolute Fitness is what every New Yorker who is concerned about looking good and staying fit is looking for. After having followed most fitness fads out there (spinning, cardio kickboxing, boot camp, step, aerobics, aqua aerobics, zumba, pilates--I still have to try bikram yoga) and having read a bunch of books on healthy living and exercise, I consider myself to be in pretty good shape. Rob's work outs kick my butt and give me incredible results! The best part is that his routines are only 30-minutes! including warm up and stretching. It does not get any better than this; to add to the awesomeness of this work out is the fact that sessions are on the inexpensive side! you won't get something better for your buck anywhere else. Rob is extremely professional, friendly and will deliver the results you want. I have not worked out with his wife but she looks extremely fit as well. Absolute Fitness is conveniently located in midtown east and it has lockers and showers on site in case you are too sweaty to get back to work or anywhere else you are going after working out. Rob and Jana are great because they love what they do so they put all their energy to do it well. The first session is complimentary so there is nothing to lose with trying it out. You will fall in love with the routines and come back for more! They will even throw in some healthy eating advice in there. read more

I have to be honest, I've only trained here once so I can't give the place more stars because I would have to be consistent to do that. But if you look at the reviews -- they have received 5 stars across the board! What I really liked was the location, only 2 blocks from Grand Central and like a block away from the St. Giles hotel where I was staying. I'm a fan of a no-nonsense, private training facility (kinda like Fitness Factory or Train here in West Hollywood), so Absolute Fitness is in that vein. Small, private and the focus is on the training - not a bunch of flat screens that let you zone out while you bang out mediocre cardio. I also liked the fact that they offer 30 minute sessions, and then encourage you do another 30 minutes of cardio on your own. It's a small world, because it turns out that the owner Rob was actually from my hometown and we knew some of the same people! That added to my comfort level - but what made me most comfortable was how passionate and professional he is about his industry. I wish I could have met his wife because rumor has it that she trains a Victoria Secret model or two - and who doesn't want that as a goal? When I am back in NYC, this will be East Coast fitness fix for sure. read more

I've been seeing Rob for over 5 years. Now I do this virtually because it is the best way for me to consistently work out a variety of muscle groups and stay in shape during the Covid issue. Whether in person or virtual, I think rob and Jana are so professional and good at what they do, that I would recommend them to anyone. They are patient and very knowledgeable of what it takes to continue working out as you get older, because doing this in a healthy way is really important read more

This is a private gym facility, run by a great husband and wife team (Rob and Jana). They offer incredible rates for private training, especially for the NYC area! I worked out with Rob for about a year while I was living in Manhattan. He was always incredibly professional and got me in the best shape of my life after I took several years off of working out. Rob and Jana have 30 minute sessions that include weight training, cardio work, stretching, and whatever else suits your needs. They are great people and very concerned with their client's needs. I would highly recommend them and will miss working out with them now that I've moved away! As long as you put in your work (i.e., eating right and doing cardio on days when you're not in the gym), these two will get you results! Greg read more

I started working out with Jana about a year ago. Despite following almost none of he recommendations to improve my diet or take care of my self inflicted injuries (outside of the gym) I've made tremendous strides. I've lost 35 lbs, competed in the Tough Mudder qualifying for the world championships, have gotten stronger and have significantly better cardio. I can only imagine how well I'd do if i were even remotely coachable. I was a bit skeptical of the 30 minute workouts, but they destroy you! It's all a question of hard you want to push yourself. There's a really good group circuit on Wednesdays for $5 for regular clients, so for $85/ week I get three killer workouts. It's obvious that Rob and Jana love their jobs, and really care about the success of their clients. I get near-daily texts reminding me to do cardio and eat right. The couple people I've brought in have been positive. We all joke at work about how tough the workouts are - yet we all keep going so they are doing something right. Can't say enough about these two... read more

While having trained for years in other "department" store like gyms, Absolute Fitness (without a doubt) targets workouts like no others before them! Results oriented, Motivating, down-to-earth, no fluff, pro trainers who are above all the rest! Close to work, super clean, quiet (no screaming weight lifters here), convenient, reasonable rates that keep you reaching your goals! Rob + Jana are the dynamic power train duo YOU MUST meet! The only thing you will be sorry about is not coming sooner to lose that fat around your belly! read more

Rob & Jana are not only amazing trainers, they are both truly amazing people. My wife & I both joined Absolute Fitness last year and over the course of 80 sessions, we have learnt so much about fitness. Rob who trained us both would never forget to check in on cardio, diet, any muscle niggles, etc. between sessions. We truly recommend Absolute Fitness to anyone who's out there looking for personal trainers. read more

I've been training with Rob for several months. What I like best about his style is his no-nonsense approach: he made it clear that I wouldn't see results until I fully committed to my fitness. I've been working out five times a week, seeing him twice a week to lift and my friends are noticing how different I look! He pushes me when we lift but all while encouraging me. His 30 minute sessions work well with my hectic work schedule and he is typically flexible throughout the week. I can just as easily see him before work as I can after. And it's so great that the gym is private (never more than a couple of other trainers with clients in the space), I've always found crowded gyms to be intimidating! Also, in the very hot summer months, the space stays very cool. This seems minor but my regular gym is always so hot! I'm giving him a fifth star because of his experience. I trust him so much more than trainers I've had at chain gyms. When I had a back injury he supplemented my work out with several back-strengthening exercises and amended my work out so that I would see work the muscle groups I wanted without causing further damage to my back! read more

I went to absolute fitness to find affordable personal training sessions. I was able to set up my first appointment with rob over the phone seamlessly. I was excited for my session but rob definitely exceeded my expectations. I have tried multiple personal trainers but no one is as knowledgeable and caring as Rob. He took his time to help deal with my injuries and gave me wonderful tips that I can use daily. He really seems to understand his clients and works hard to make sure they are satisfied. He is one of the best trainers out there and works hard to make sure he treats his clients well. I definitely highly recommend Rob. read more

I have been training with Jana for over 2 years and have been very happy. She accommodates my busy and changing schedule. I look forward to my twice a week training as a nice break in my day. The most important thing for you to know is that Jana (Rob too) really care about each client. She treats me just as good as her super models or hedge fund clients (I recognized them from magazines not from her bragging). She reminds me about my sessions (via text), remembers any injuries I may have and gives me a hard time if my eating is bad. I have joined 10 clubs over the last 40 years and never went more than a couple of times. I do not miss a session with Jana (I afraid she will kick my butt). Forgot to mention, her sessions are the most reasonable ones that I have found in NYC. read more

I have been a regular client at Absolute Fitness for over a decade now, and so I am obviously a big fan. Honestly, I can't say enough good things in all regards. Rob and Jana (the two trainers) are both exceptional at what they do and, equally importantly, personally invested in how YOU do. They are constantly changing the routines to keep them fresh and challenging, and they are very good at dealing with potential problems (i.e., I have had some injuries over the years that we have had to work around). And the prices are extremely reasonable. Also, I have been a member of bigger gyms before (i.e., Equinox, NYSC), and I find it much nicer to work out in a small private place with maybe one other person. I don't think you need the 50 or so machines you find in a larger gym--- frankly, I find it confusing and intimidating to see so much equipment that I am not familiar with. I like the cozy feel of a private gym, and it is still big enough for all of my needs (e.g,. there is plenty of room for me to jump rope, my specialty). Absolute Fitness is fantastic- a true hidden gem in Midtown. read more

AbsFit has been in business for over 15 years. The gym is run by husband and wife team Rob and Jana who provide sensible, knowlegeable and attentive fitness training. Rob is a former amateur body builder and knows a lot about fitness and conditioning. Rob and Jana practice what they preach but they understand that we all lead busy lives. They tailor workouts to ea indiviaual's needs and don't just do the "workout of the day/week" w everyone. They pay special care to your body and try to keep you injury free while building muscle, increasing flexibility and building cardo capacity. No hesitation in recommending their services. And the price structure is affordable for working people. read more

Rob is amazing. I've been going to him on and off for the past three years. Seeing him for a half-hour session each week is so much more efficient than spending over an hour at the gym every day trying to come up with your own routine. He also gives you a home routine that only takes a few minutes, but once again is amazingly efficient and doesn't require any equipment. After just a week or two of his sessions, I can feel my frame getting smaller and I see a noticeable difference. Even when I had lower back problems, Rob always helped me find ways to strengthen my core without putting any direct force on the injured area. He always works toward your goals and takes a very personal approach to your fitness. You don't need a fancy gym membership if you're training with Rob or Jana. Just try a session. I can't stress how amazingly helpful he's been for my personal fitness goals. read more

Rob is for sure the best trainer that any of my patients have ever trained with. Over the years I have had a number of my clients under his tutelage and I have always been impressed. The Absolute Fitness difference is that Rob understands that each client and in our case each patient is different and he has an amazing ability to tailor his training sessions to meet their needs and both help repair their injuries and not hurt them. Often, I get a new patient who has to see me, because their trainer literally hurt them. What a nightmare! I have never had someone come to me because Rob hurt them. He modifies any exercise he has to in order to get the needed benefit without injury. To me, having a trainer that is smart enough, skilled enough and creative enough to do more then run you through a workout, but to modify and create super specific regimens that are totally customized to you is amazing! Rob is hands down the best trainer any of my patients have ever worked with. Dr. Craig Rubenstein. read more

I have been with Absolute Fitness for 2 years now - and what a cliche - but it's true - they changed my life! I was so nervous for my first workout - I had a 2 year old and hadn't worked out in forever and even though I had been athletic previously - I was hopelessly (I thought) out of shape. Rob was so kind and he didn't make me feel bad about myself and I didn't hate my life while I was there or afterwards (like some other sessions I've had with other trainers). When I started I could barely run for 5 minutes on the treadmill - fast forward 2 years and running is one of my main forms of exercise! They are the nicest and are great at tailoring the workout for the client - not making the client do "their" workout. They are the BEST, read more

This is a small, no frills gym that only does one-on-one personal training and doesn't allow more than two or three clients/trainers at a time. Their prices are very reasonable (well, cheap) and the staff is very friendly. Rob (the trainer I see) is great at customizing the program for his clients and is experienced, smart and careful to avoid injuries. read more

i have been going to this Gym for the past year. i am addicted. Jana and Rob, Husband and wife team are the most professional, friendly people i have come across. they truly care for your fitness and overall well being. i always enjoy my sessions with them. THIS IS THE BEST KEPT SECRET OF NYC. Excellent value for what you get.....a little secret........known to have several Victoria Secret Models work out here....... read more

I've been going there for past 6 months and absolutely love it! Jana is very professional trainer who always pay special attention to my back problems so sometimes I feel it's more physical therapy then work out. And she is so flexible! I also signed my friend up who shares my opinion about them read more

I have been a client of Absolute Fitness since 2002. Rob, my trainer, still keeps coming up with different and interesting workouts each week for me. Rob makes working out fun and keeps me motivated. I'll be 50 next year and have Absolute Fitness to thank for getting and keeping me in better shape than I was at 20! read more

Personal Training doesn't get better than this -- I love this place! I have been training with Rob for almost two years and I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life. I originally came to him because I was getting married and I have stayed on to continue to work towards new goals. I had also previously herniated my disc and Rob created a workout that catered towards what my doctor recommended. Rob and Jana's dedication goes above and beyond; the quality of work that they do cannot be found elsewhere. read more
