Personal Trainers are like real estate agents... Only the top 1% ever really MAKE IT BIG. My boss…read more(a film producer who's addicted to fitness like me) actually CONVINCED Hollywood trainer Jasson Finney to move to NYC because of the lack of miracle workers in this town. Jasson (who's also an actor/stuntman in over 30 movies and TV shows) has worked with Hollywood A-Listers George Clooney, Halle Berry, Penelope Cruz, Tori Spelling and Paul Walker (R.I.P) to name a few. His rates are very reasonable given his status ($150 an hour) and my boss just started his signature "8 Week Red Carpet Body Program" and won't stop talking about how amazing he is. At first it was hard to believe that his average client loses 4 dress sizes in 8 weeks, but now after seeing my boss... I'm totally blown away. UPDATE: 4/18/14 OMG! My boss just bought me a session for my birthday and Jasson spent an entire hour with me asking how exactly I want to permanently change my shape, what my current eating habits are, then laying out a specific cardio/eating/training strategy to get rid of my saddlebags, etc. After that, we worked out for 75 minutes doing exercises I have never, ever seen before let alone done before, and all with tiny 2.5 pound weights, bands, balls. Holy Cow, I can't even MOVE my body today! I have never felt like this before. I hope he can start teaching classes somewhere because as a personal assistant, the $150 hour price tag is too much for me but I am thinking about getting a second job to at least see this man once a week. Totally jealous now of my boss. I want more!

Are you looking for an easy workout? Something quick and painless? Then keep scrolling! Jasson…read moremakes you work harder than you ever have before. He will push you to your limits, but he will never give you more than you can handle. And to your surprise, you will be amazed by what you can handle! He is tough, but he is kind. He genuinely wants to see you succeed. He encourages you and makes you believe you can do anything. And he celebrates even your tiniest milestones. An hour with Jasson is filled with great conversation and good humor. He not only shows interest in what's going on in your life, he sincerely cares. He doesn't just listen when you talk, he actually remembers all the details. Jasson will becomes more than your trainer, he will become your friend. Even on days, when you're dreading your workout, you will always end up enjoying it and leaving in a better mood. I have been working out with Jasson for 7 months and I've never felt more confident. I am in the best shape of my life and I am constantly being complimented by my friends and family on my very visible progress. I don't just look better, I feel better! I am so so grateful I found Jasson here on Yelp!

James is an amazing personal trainer and fitness professional. if you are looking to lose weight,…read moreshred fat, tone muscles and feel amazing, this is your guy. James is punctual, doesn't skip a class, and makes you feel that it was time well spent. He will not let you plateau, brings interesting and innovative exercises to the class, so you don't get bored. Been training with PT most of my adult life and is he one of the good ones. Highly recommend him.

I started training with James just three short months ago and have already had dramatic…read moreimprovements in my strength and physical appearance. Before deciding to commit to personal training, I had already lost over 70 pounds on my own through dieting alone. I was never able to get that last 30 pounds off and that's where James comes in. James has been training me three times a week for the past three months, making sure that I am constantly pushing myself and targeting muscle groups that I am particularly interested in working on. Throughout our sessions, I have gotten to known James in a way I did not expect and we get along on a personal level. He is as invested in my self-improvement as I am, which is exactly what you want in a personal trainer. Over the past three months, I have made great strides and managed to lose nearly 20 pounds and many inches all over. I highly recommend James to anyone looking for an honest, personable, knowledgeable, and dedicated fitness coach.

I hired Sam a year prior to Covid with a few goals in mind. 1) Establish a routine since I'm…read morestarting from zero. 2) Find a way to hold myself accountable to working out at least once/week without Sam. 3) Gain some type of noticeable muscle in my upper arms. Sam tailored a program that fit in my crazy schedule and he guided me through my own unique fitness journey. It wasn't about him-- he made it about ME. I've worked with PT's before when I was younger and was always them pushing "their new favorite circuits" or whatever new equipment when in reality, it wasn't about me or my goals. He's different because he did not do this! He does not fit the mold! I can't say enough about his professionalism, knowledge in the fitness world and the way he motivated me in such an uplifting positive way. I have yet to look into his 200 Day program because I'm in the middle of prepping for my law school exam but once I'm established I'll definitely do something with him in a group setting too. I feel like I'd do well in his outdoor circuits! If you want someone to break the mold, be your best friend and lead you to accomplish what YOU want to accomplish, Sam is your guy! P.S. my arms finally have definition that other people notice now.... Hallelujah!

Sam is the perfect trainer for someone who is trying to get in shape for the first time, or after a…read morelong period of not being active. The best way I can phrase it is ... he isn't "annoying." He'll push you and motivate you in a way that works for YOU. In my case, he could tell that positive reinforcement works better, so he is firm but not pushy or aggressive. He's also really great at explaining why a certain exercise is necessary and/or what it is doing to your body. Truly cannot recommend him enough :)

I was referred to Secret Formula Fitness by my lovely, inspiring wife. She felt like her body was…read morejust off and was willing to invest in herself to make the changes she wanted to see. Seeing her come home week after week, sharing all her fitness success was impressive to see. She was losing weight and body fat like she was giving it away! She always came home motivated to improve even more. She couldn't talk enough about Jay. If I wasn't secure in our marriage I would have been concerned. Just kidding. Regardless she inspired me to sign up myself and invest in my health for the long run. I was eager and ready to sign up and see what all the "Jay Hype" was about. I sign up, I'm ready to get started, only to find out that I'm actually not signed up to work with Jay. Immediately I'm disappointed and let down. But I didn't let it deter me. When Jay told me I would be working out with Aja Mosley, I immediately Google searched her and came up with next to nothing. Made me even more worried. HOWEVER, Aja has been amazing and awesome since my first consultation with her. I told her off the jump, she had some BIG shoes to fill since I was not being trained be the all mighty, Jay and she did not back down at all but Rose to my challenge. SHE KICKED MY BUTT the first session. I struggled to make it to work lol. But once I recovered, I felt really good about my first step towards physical fitness. Aja scaled back the intensity just a bit so I could make it to work. We work out at 6am two days a week and she is energized and motivated to go every morning so far. What I enjoy most about the sessions with Aja so far is that they are never the same. She focuses on the whole body. And I have not repeated a circuit yet. Every day I look forward to what new challenging move she has in store for me. She incorporates barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine balls, bands, TRX bands, half boso ball, yoga and pilates to name a few. When I follow the meal plan and workouts during the week, lbs have been following off me like melted butter. I have lost inches in my waist and my stamina has improved. I look forward to exercising more often now that I signed up with Secret Formula Fitness. Before this I took about a 3 year break from doing anything physically challenging. I plan to be a long time member with this team and can't wait to see my summer body after working hard for these results. Aja won't steer you wrong. She even makes herself available to answer any questions you may have even with the session is over. Her knowledge regarding fitness is quite impressive. She also let's me workout to Soca every morning!! #MVP

I started working out with Steve nine months ago after a back injury kept me in bed for three…read moreweeks. After several months of physical therapy and lacking any instruction for wellness and back care from my physical therapist, a friend of mine suggested I consult with Steve as I contemplated going back to the gym. Steve met with me and went over my goals and developed a very smart workout program that incrementally increased over time in response to my improvement. He helped me improve my core strength and helped me understand how to stretch and workout in ways that improved my back health and my overall health. From the start, I have enjoyed working with Steve and find him to be friendly, patient, and someone who develops a diverse range of workouts that have evolved over time in response to my improvements and also keep me interested in being in the gym. I also find he can put together very challenging but very fun workouts as well. It is a pleasure working with Steve and I am now in great physical shape and feel stronger and healthier - it is one of the best times of my life in terms of physical fitness and health. From what I observe in most trainers at my gym, I can see that Steve is much more attuned to what his clients are doing and very focused on them when they are working with him. He is always helpful and encouraging and has a good sense of when to push and when to step back. I was reluctant to work out with a trainer and only agreed to come due to a friends reference. Steve has always been great with me and helped me devise workouts for the gym, workouts for when a travel, and workout plans that allow me to swim and run in concert with weight training, stretching and aerobic activity. I think taking a trail workout is the best way to see if there is a good fit between you and a trainer. Steve offers these opportunities and I would highly recommend you give it a go and suspect you will chose to train with him. If you follow Steve's recommendations, you will find you achieve and exceed the goals you set for yourself. Good luck!
