I started training with Che after she was recommended to me by a healthcare practitioner that I know. I had just turned 40 and noticed my hormones were changing and my previous fitness routine of classpass spinning and barre workouts were not giving me the results I was looking for. I had lost mobility in my hips/glutes from overdoing the wrong workouts and my balance was extremely off. Che met me where I was at. She coached me and helped rebuild the muscle I had lost in my lower abs/glutes. It was important for me to work with someone who wasn't going to give me a cookie cutter training workout. She tailored my workouts for my specific issues and needs. In addition to building up my strength, she demonstrated how to stretch out my lower body with a foam roller and lacrosse ball to help improve my performance. Che truly understands the mind-body connection and was able to use this knowledge to guide me towards success. We also discussed nutrition and counting my macros to make sure I was eating the right balance of protein, carbs, and fat daily. I learned during this process that I was restricting my calories too low, thinking that this would help speed up my weight loss. I was definitely not feeding my body the right balance of nutrients and she called me out on this. After 12 weeks of bi-weekly training with Che, I have gained 2 pounds of muscle back and the flexibility/balance has returned in my lower body. I have recommended both her and Atomic to my friends and feel extremely grateful to have gained my healthy fitness level back. I couldn't have done it without her. read more

Atomic offers intense, interesting and varied training. It's a true personal training experience in your own space at prices that are at least competitive--and in some cases quite possible less--than you would pay for personal training at your crappy local gym. I was fortunate enough to find a package on Gilt City, which was an incredible bargain. The vibe at Atomic is wonderful. You get a sincere "we're all here together to improve ourselves and get healthier" sense, from the owner Adam on down. I worked out here mostly with Gary, who was incredibly helpful--always positive, always instructive (learned a great deal about technique and new workouts/stretches from him), and always pushing you forward, but in encouraging and productive ways. The workouts are interesting and varied--so many involve mostly the use of your own body/weight, but they also incorporate elements from yoga and gymnastics along with newer, trendier equipment such as TRX and resistance bands. Their workout plans themselves are also cleverly structured. The starting plan, called Foundations, is designed so that in your first few visits, you will cycle through the same routine about 3-4 times. And just when you start to feel yourself thinking, "You know, this isn't quite so challenging, is this really all they have for me," boom, you come in to a whole new and different and more challenging routine for a couple of sessions. Then on to the next one... The equipment they have is new and solid, and they have sufficient space so that in most cases you will have your own room with a devoted trainer--perhaps at a rush hour time you might have to share the space with one other session. The locker room area is nice, but only separated from the gym area by curtains, so you will have to change in the showers, which is frustratingly cramped, but the showers are at least clean and well-maintained. If you are in the market for a personal training experience, or just upgrading from your regular and monotonous gym experience, it would be hard to find a better choice--or challenge yourself and your body in a better way--than by coming to Atomic. read more

I bought a Gilt 12 session package a while back and I have to say it was both a fantastic deal and a great new workout for me. I've worked mostly with Gary and Brian and can not recommend them both enough. The gym is right off the 6 line which makes it super convenient. They have all the equipment you would need to get a killer workout. The space is a little small and I was skeptical at first, but let me tell you - it really doesn't matter at all. If anything, it's shown me how you can get creative with your workouts. I have been mostly in the morning (7 am) as they usually dont have evening times open. Hasn't been an issue at all though because I prefer mornings. The trainers do a great job of pushing you and making sure you always put in 100%. I love how they confirm the night before and also remember little things about what I'm working on (for example, better nutrition throughout the week). If you're looking for a boutique, personal training gym that will woop your butt into shape but still have a lot of fun...you've found it here! And the price isn't as crazy expensive as most NYC work outs. Thanks Gary and Brian! read more

I started off training with Atomic Fitness in January '18 on a Gilt City deal. I would've never thought I'd still be training with the Atomic team a year later but they are THAT good! The owner Adam is lovely and all of the trainers are great. I especially recommend Che who paid thoughtful attention to getting my form right for all types of weight training exercises. This laid a foundation for me to feel confident dealing with weights despite my weak lower back, which is the reason why I never did much with weights other than the machines at the gym and bicep curls prior to training with Atomic. I also highly recommend TJ who is excellent and consistently crafts workouts that are balanced yet challenging. I always feel the impact of my workouts with him when the muscle soreness kicks in (in a good way!) a day or two after we train. He's also super knowledgeable about all forms of exercise and training and I've learned a lot that helps me more efficiently work out on my own just by asking him questions and through my workouts with him. It's obvious that everyone here is deeply experienced in training (unlike trainers you find at gyms or elsewhere). They are pros and I unconditionally recommend them to anyone looking to lose weight and/or build strength! read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. Adam and his staff are the epitome of personal training. I started working out there exactly a year ago and haven't slowed down yet. Like any personal training it really is what you make of it combined with trainers who are caring, who listen, who push you to your limits and beyond and understand when you pull back. I always feel great when I leave and surprisingly I feel great when I'm there. Love Atomic Total Fitness and highly recommend it to anyone looking to get their start on the fitness train! read more

ATF is the absolute best! I purchased a gilt city shortly after the New Year and was so happy with my results that I opted to purchase a full package. Facilities: They do a great job of keeping the workout areas and bathrooms clean and fully stocked with everything you may need, including full size towels, soap, shampoo and feminine products. In addition to making sure everything is clean, they are mindful to stagger their client schedule in the morning to make sure their (three) showers don't get jammed up Staff/workouts: Amazing! I've been seeing Brian for around two months and have seen drastic changes in my overall strength, performance and body composition. While I've only worked out with Brian, it's very clear that EVERY trainer at ATF is committed to teaching their clients how to work out and get stronger without risk of injury, which is super important and often overlooked by other trainers/fitness instructors. All of the trainers at ATF are extremely nice, welcoming and make an effort to get to know everyone who comes in, not just their own clients. An hour workout goes by so fast because I am genuinely having fun. Price: For what you get, you cannot beat ATF'S pricing. One on one training, a workout regimen you can follow on your own time and overall health and wellness coaching. I can text my trainer at any time and know he will respond. I know personal training is expensive but ATF is superior to anything you're going to get at a chain or budget gym Did I mention they have a disco ball? read more

I first started working with Adam Shuty in 2005. I've occasionally used other trainers during the seven years since, and everything you need to know about Adam and his studio can be summed up in four words: I always go back. Other trainers haven't been very good at adjusting my workout for my injuries, both temporary and permanent ones. Adam has. He doesn't baby my knee, but he finds alternative ways of strengthening it. Other trainers often seemed to have a one-size-fits-all approach to fitness. I'm not the same as your other clients, and I won't get good results from their regimen. Adam customizes my workouts not only for the individual I am and the unique body that I have, but also for whatever stage of progress I've reached. Other trainers, for heaven's sake, have sometimes let me slack when I wasn't in the mood. Adam understands the basic truths that led me to hire a trainer in the first place: I need someone to help drive me to physical success, and the days I don't feel like working out ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT DAYS TO BE WORKING OUT. Adam is a nice guy, but he knows exactly when I need to be pushed, and he isn't afraid of pushing me. Let's face it, other trainers are sometimes a little cheaper - in a city like New York, you can always find someone hungry enough for business that they'll undercut the pros. I've even paid *higher* rates than Adam's, hoping I might "get what I paid for." And I've always, always, ALWAYS gone back to Adam. Adam is a smart, funny, engaging guy who just happens also to know how to help you get in shape, stay in shape, and achieve the goals you have for your physical development. He even gives me routines to do while I'm traveling on business - or even on my honeymoon! - so that I can choose not to let myself lose progress. It is, after all, ultimately up to me. I recommend Adam Shuty and Atomic Total Fitness unreservedly and without hesitation. read more

Kathy is the best! I've been working out with her for over a year and the restults have been amazing. She will push you to the limit and you will leave the gym exhausted and exhilarated. You will do things you didn't think possible. You will look and feel great. Workouts are always varied and fun. Their Biokinetics machines are unique and add an element that does not exist in other studios. I highly recommend seeing Kathy and Adam if you are serious about getting in shape, losing weight, or pushing your fitness to the next level. read more

Best workout ever! It combines Chinese Martial Arts with cardio, strengthening, stretching... Really an all around amazing core-body workout. I could slay a dragon with my abs now! Adam Shuty is the bomb, what can I say? read more

Honestly, I was skeptical when I joined atomic and never thought that I would be able to stick with them for long since personal sessions can be bit overwhelming. But It's been 6 months since I have started training with atomic fitness and my experience has been awesome. I have noticed the improvement in my overall physique and stamina. They not only work on strength training but also emphasize on mobility. After each session I feel energetic and happy even though I am exhausted from the workout. Their sessions are well crafted .The trainers are attentive , encouraging, knowledgeable and definitely push you to work hard. I've learned so much and I've seen great results. Highly recommend for anyone of any fitness level. read more

I purchased a Gilt 12-session package from Atomic after my husband Sean had been successfully working out with Adam for almost a year. I had personally witnessed Sean receive numerous compliments from friends about how buff he looked of late and decided it was time for me to also make a push as Spring was just around the corner. I really enjoy working out with Adam and appreciate his tailored focus on my fitness needs and goals. I also love the online scheduling system at Atomic which is fast, user-friendly and easily enables me to make changes should I have a conflict with a scheduled workout session. I've just completed my 12-session package and have decided to buy another package as I too can see my work paying off. Atomic is a small, intimate gym with a caring staff where anyone will be made to feel welcomed and can quickly make progress towards a healthier self! read more

I agree with a lot of other reviews on this page, ATF is an amazing value, no gym membership or pushy sales people, just good old fashioned working out! The gym is small but clean, tidy and gets the job done, with AMAZING trainers! I have worked with all of them at this point and I genuinely look forward to seeing them! What you can expect; a few sessions where the trainer (again I cannot stress how amazing they ALL are) figures out your form, gets to know your style (what you like and hate), what you're looking to achieve etc, then you set goals and watch your body change! There is a little more to it than this, which is why you should go in and try it for yourself :) Whether you have been working out for years or never stepped foot in a gym any one of the trainers here will be able to help you achieve your goal (which they will also help you set, because as I learned from Gary getting a hot beach body isn't very concrete, squatting your own body weight on the other hand, much easier to comprehend and eventually do) From my experience, occasionally the times you prefer may not be available but everyone is so accommodating that if you let them know a time/day that works for you they will make it happen! I can't stress how much I love this place enough... stop wasting money on those lame gym trainers who are boring and start working out with people who are so knowledgeable and friendly that you will almost forget how hard you're working! read more

I have been training with ATOMIC since 2015. There were some periods where life got busy and I trained a little less, but for the most part I have targeted training with them just about every week. The founder Adam along with all the trainers are great. For years I trained in person and loved their studio. Adam was constantly looking for ways to make it make it better. Always fresh with ideas and ordering and installing new things, and thinking about new ways to challenge me. He is one of those people that always stays fresh and has boundless enthusiasm for his field and to learn everything about it. I find that all of the trainers at ATOMIC are such high quality. I have worked with many and everything I do with them is so custom. My spouse trains with them as well and currently works with the same trainer as me and her workouts are totally different. There is careful attention to form which I really appreciate, and they always come prepared with a program. For many years now I have consistently trained with Brian, first in person, and for the past few years virtually. Brian is impeccably reliable, super skilled, and really cares and makes sure to check in holistically. I wasn't sure how the virtual training would work out when I switched from in person but its actually great. It feels like he is in the room with me, still carefully watching form and correcting me. I miss seeing Brian and everyone in person as often but it also makes it easier to manage time and reliably get in my workouts. read more

I started working with Adam about a year ago and while I train with him only once a week, I can confidently say that this addition to the rest of my physical activities made a real difference in my fitness level. Before I joined Atomic Total Fitness, I was struggling to get in shape, turn fat into muscle and feel fit every day. Now I feel much stronger, my endurance is up and my muscle tone has improved significantly. There are many things I like about training at Atomic, here are some of them: 1) When I joined, Adam worked with me to set my goals for training, asked what other activities I had (I play tennis, so we inserted some exercises to improve my footwork) and discussed what brought me to start training. 2) Adam continuously reinvents the program to give my body new challenges. 3) Adam has a healthy attitude towards training and is mindful of your mental and physical state when you come to train to make exercise as effective as possible but to not overdo it if you had a sleepless night. 4) It's a cozy boutique gym in a brownstone, the training space is modern, well equipped, bright and clean. The showers are also renovated with nice towels, heir dryers, etc. available. 5) It's fun to train here - not only training but conversation is good too! In the last few months I've received many compliments on how much progress I've made and I finally was able to break through my plateau in terms of weight loss and getting in shape. I would highly recommend joining Atomic Total Fitness if you want to achieve the same. read more

I've been training with Adam for the last 6 months, and I have had a wonderful experience. He keeps things fresh each session while also making sure that we are working toward my larger goals of getting measurably stronger, improving mobility and flexibility, and working to get better at other physical pursuits like rock climbing and skiing. I am feeling better (and moving more weight) than i have since I was in high school (nearly 20 years ago!)! The facilities are top notch - everything you'd ever need packed into a nice compact space. I can't recommend ATF highly enough. read more

ATF is an excellent bang for your buck. I signed up for the Foundations package. Adam, Shawn and Lorenzo, all of them are equally awesome. Before signing-up for ATF I'd never stepped inside a gym before. These guys made it so accessible for me. I will be signing up for more sessions as soon as I can. Adam's philosophy 'it's all about the form' is very refreshing. Signup today. read more

I highly recommend Atomic Total Fitness. I worked with Adam. He's patient, kind and definitely makes you work. Each workout was tailored to my needs and fun! I saw great results in the sessions. read more

I never write Yelp reviews since i am in the media industry and never know who is writing these things. After working with Atomic for the last 2 months i decided i would have to write a review. This is actually my first Yelp review ever and boy do they deserve it! I have been working with TJ for a couple months now and he has transformed my body to exactly what i wanted for my wedding. He goes out of his way to deal with me and all my needs and always with a smile on his face! TJ is truly amazing. I am getting married in 10 days and i can't thank him enough. Whenever i do not book in time or TJ is off i train with Layla. Layla really takes time to like i say "kill me" but to "kill me" in the best way possible and its exactly what i need. I recommend everyone at Atomic. I would say if you are a Bride to be you should have no hesitation Atomic is where you want to be.. The owner Adam is so nice and has the best customer service a customer could ask for. I really feel like the whole team is family. They always ask me how i am doing and start conversation. Hands down everyone should use Atomic. Thank You Atomic for getting me wedding ready. P.S Thank You TJ!!!! read more

I don't live in NY but while there for work scheduled a session so i could get a workout in while on the road. Atomic was great- exactly what i needed and they helped customize to my goals! read more

Personal training here has been 10 times more effective than anything else I've tried before. I love the variety of exercises they provide, with plyometrics, kickboxing, and weight-lifting, it got me in the best shape of my life. My energy levels are through the roof, so I'm less stressed and more ready to tackle the day. read more

I purchased a gilt deal for 12 sessions with atomic to help me prep for my wedding. After using those 12 sessions, I bought 16 more - they are that good. Gary and Adam got me in great shape and always maintain a positive, supporting and friendly atmosphere. They are always paying one-on-one attention to you to make sure that your form is correct and you get the most out of all your reps. I highly recommend them and can't wait to come back. Even for exercise newbies, this is a place with people that will make you feel strong and comfortable. read more

No attitude. No BS. I've been a client of Atomic Total Fitness for over five years. The experienced & dedicated training staff keeps you motivated & achieving fitness goals. Che Rodgers is inspiring beyond measure. She holds her clients accountable and is a motivating force with a smile that lights up the room. Brian Allen is a secret Yoda. He knows literally everything and will make sure you reach all your fitness goals by holding you accountable and encouraging you to go further than you thought possible, because he knows you can. Gary Alston pushes me to achieve my very best with a delightful personality. All the trainers are great. If you are serious about fitness, look no further!!!! read more

As I logged on this morning to schedule the rest of my current package, I was shocked and amazed to see that I have been going to ATF for 14 months! With that said I knew a review was LONG overdue. I have been seeing TJ for over 100 sessions; he is hands down the best. He does a great job of pushing me outside of my comfort zone, but in a way that is always positive and motivating. He keeps his finger on the workout scene's pulse, coming up with creative and inventive moves, while making sure all of my workouts are different. The space is small, which I was initially uncertain about, but it doesn't even phase me. Each trainer works to make sure their client gets the most efficient workout in. The equipment they have is top of the line, and they are always introducing new gadgets to test out. If you are looking for a kick ass customized personal experience, than ATF is the place for you. read more

These guys are AMAZING! Such a great business model - you get personal training without having to pay a membership fee on top! The training is amazing - they really personalize your training to your needs, interests, and workout style (what motivates you, what types of workouts you hate, what types of workouts you love). They really take the time to explain everything to you and pay close attention to/correct your form to make sure you're getting the most out of your workout. And they're the nicest people ever. I love how you can work with any trainer so you can book a session when it works best for your schedule. The space has everything you need for a killer workout - I love the suspension training and how they stretch you out at the end of the session. read more

Great location. Trainers are knowledgeable and motivating. Excellent place to get an all around workout in an hour.

Adam is an absolutely fantastic trainer. I have a pretty intense schedule, so I don't have a ton of time to work out. Luckily, Adam makes my workouts super efficient and fun. Additionally, I was really self-conscious about working out when I first came Adam because I was out-of-shape, but he has created a very comfortable, non-judgmental environment at Atomic Total Fitness, which enabled me to very quickly overcome my inhibitions and concentrate on improving my lifestyle. I feel like I accomplished a lot each time I work out with Adam. He's challenged me (but never too much or too little); the work-outs are always changing and have progressively become more and more difficult. Another great thing about training with Adam is he's tremendously knowledgeable about how every aspect of the body works together. When I feel an ache somewhere, he knows how I can adjust the way I'm sitting at my desk at work or how to stretch the stress out of the area. He always addresses my concerns about my body, and never dismisses an ache or pain. This sort of goes along with the non-judgmental environment that Adam has created. With a different trainer, I might feel uncomfortable voicing a concern because I would worry that they would judge me for being lazy or out-of-shape. I never feel that way with Adam. He doesn't take it easy on me just because I say my hamstrings are sore, but he will stretch my legs a little longer or give me a tip for how to work out the ache myself. And actually, all of his recommendations have really helped. I can not say enough great things about training with Adam. He's a fantastic person, and has really helped me to improve my health and life. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

I went to a workout class here early November for a bootcamp class. While the instructor was very nice, the workout average, but still decent....my pet peeve was the condition the studio was in at the time. Lights were hanging from the ceiling, wall particles on the floor, open wires, a broken clock barely hanging on the wall. The instructor apologized stating that the studio was "in transition" at the time--"Sorry, I know it looks a little ghetto," she stated. Being understanding at the time, I gave it a free pass and assumed it was an exception. However, now January, I decided to give it another shot and try out their Hip Hop class. Upon arrival, I and another student, waited downstairs ringing the doorbell for 10 minutes before class. Also called the studio number multiple times. No one buzzed us in, nor answered the phone, and we entered as someone was leaving the building. Upon getting to the studio, the main floor was locked, but the group workout room was open...wires out, a falling chandelier, light bulbs and other tools/gadgets out to the visible eye, and stacks of items clearly out of place (e.g. massage table, leg brace) cramped in the corner of this "workout room". "Ok, not ideal and probably a little unprofessional, but hopefully the class will be good." Much to my dismay, I guess I'll never know if that class was good since the instructor never showed up. Three-students wandering waiting for some sign of someone and no luck. Tried calling the studio number multiple times and no answer. Not only is the facility itself physically unorganized and lacking, but clearly so is management and communication. There are plenty of other work out studios in NYC...don't know why anyone would choose here first. read more

ATOMIC Total Fitness - Pretty sure shouldn't have open outlets/wires like this in a workout room - Trainers Near Me - New York, New York

See all

Adam and the team at Atomic are awesome! I trained weekly with them for over a year and would have continued if I hadn't moved out of NYC. It's a fun, positive environment and I made major strides in my weight training. I feel confident doing weights on my own now and have way better form. read more

Adam is seriously amazing. I've not worked out in quite sometime and I have some knee and feet injuries. The workout he put me through was difficult but doable and very mindful of my injuries. After 3 sessions, I'm pleasantly sore and can already feel myself getting stronger. Every workout is so fun and flys by. Great music and Adam is such a joy!!! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone of any age or ability. I'm hooked!!! read more

Adam, Gary, & crew are great. I've never been to a trainer for this long before. These guys provide fresh workouts daily and push me harder each time I'm there. I've never felt this good before! read more

PROS: Small classes, a ton of personalized attention CONS: Really cramped, I kept running into equipment and personal items on the perimeter of the floor. Also, the overall facilities are gross, I kept coming across hairballs on the mat. Not sure how often clean. read more

Atomic Total Fitness is awesome. Shawn, Kim and Adam are all very personable but will also make you work. They're very responsive to your specific circumstances, goals, injuries, etc. The place is not huge but has everything you might need - plus, because of the way the space is laid out over two separate rooms, it feels like it's just you and your trainer in your own private studio. read more

I purchased a Gilt City deal and was very happy with the trainers at Atomic Total Fitness. I saw results and learned some great new exercise moves. Took me a while to get used to the 4th floor walk-up but making it up the stairs was well worth the effort. read more

I enjoyed the Boot Camp class here, which I found through class pass, a lot. It was challenging but a lot of fun, and the instructor had great energy. Will definitely be back! read more

Just finished 10 sessions with Adam and it was everything I was hoping for. He cares a lot about what he does and it shows.

I've been training at Atomic for almost a year (with Mike M) and it has been great. Mike is a real professional. I first started going after I had a back injury and Mike was fantastic in helping me strengthen my back without risking further injury. As that developed, Mike has continued to change the program and is constantly providing me with new and different challenges. I've really enjoyed going to Atomic and am looking forward to see where things go from here. read more

Really a great place to get fit (and keep fit). Adam and his crew are awesome. I've been a client for years and have no plans to stop. I'm currently training with Brian who's fun personality and conversation make an hour of hard work fly by. They listen to what you want and personalize your hour. No cookie cutter workouts here. read more

This place is all around great. I've been coming to Atomic for the last five weeks, and I don't have one complaint. Everyone is very professional and willing to answer any questions. The space is a little small, but very clean. Every time I walk out the door, I know I got a great workout. read more

Adam is hands on and very receptive to my work out needs. He has his own personal space so it is just you, him and the equipment. He is friendly, funny, and fun to work with. After our work outs we do some kick boxing which he has been trained for about ten years. I love working with him and you will too. read more

I recently purchased a deal on Gilt City for Atomic Total Fitness and sadly didn't have a good experience. Once I received my voucher, I logged in online and looked for available sessions at 7pm or 7am, which are the times that work best for me with my work schedule. I had to book about 2 months out. The day before my scheduled session I received an email reminder about my session and it turns out someone had moved my session to 8pm, with a different trainer, without ever checking with me. I tried calling (couldn't get in touch with anyone) and responding to the email twice, with no response. Later that night, the trainer texted me to confirm my appointment for the following day and I was finally able to express my disappointment in my appointment being moved. He was very apologetic and had the owner call me. The owner was somewhat apologetic but said that he moved my appointment about a week ago to fit someone else in. I told him this was upsetting to me because I booked my appointment so long ago, and he said the problem was that I booked it so far in advance.... meanwhile, it's impossible to book an appointment at prime times more than several months in advance. This company doesn't do business in a way I agree with so I ultimately had to request a refund from Gilt. read more
