His style focuses on body weight exercises and lighter weights with high reps. He might help multiple clients during the same session and does not count your reps for you, but is attentive, corrects my form as needed, provides a good workout, is generous with his time, and very flexible in terms of scheduling workouts. For me, the pros especially given the cost make it definitely worth it. There are separate workout areas for each person with walls between them, so you get your own personal space with your own rack of weights, which is nice especially with the pandemic. I'm almost worried about posting too positive a review lest the secret get out. Check out a free trial and tell him J. Statham sent you.

I noticed Benswic on Classpass a few years ago. Back then, I was taking a variety of classes at…read morevarious gyms throughout NYC so I was only going once a week to Benswic. But since the pandemic hit NYC, Benswic has become my fitness home, and I now go about 3-4 times a week. Not only is it conveniently located between work and home, I love the variety of classes! It's safe to say I have probably taken almost every class offered, and I have enjoyed all the classes. I generally lean toward the strength classes, and my absolute favorite is the "Balance and Strength" class. The exercises are different every week, and all the coaches are great!

Sergio & Santiago are amazing!…read more I've been skating since I was 8 years old, and I'm 28 now. I've been through a handful of injuries and surgeries, most recently my right shoulder. I severely dislocated it twice, and had to wait 1.5 years to get my surgery done by the orthopedist I wanted to see, due to the NY Health Exchange's minimal open enrollment periods. After seeing working with 5+ different Therapist's at 2 separate offices, I felt as if I was still recovering, and unable to find someone who could give me the necessary One on One I needed. Sergio and Santiago are dedicated to observing your body movements and quickly noticing problems with movement, posture, balance, etc. Sergio has bridged the gap between a physical therapist and a personal trainer. I'd recommend Success Fitness Studio to anyone looking to gain a better sense of their own body and learn how to fix it. Whether your recovering from an injury, trying to break bad posture/movement habits, or looking to get in shape with a mindful and refreshing group of trainers. Thanks guys!

I got in touch with Success and started working with Sergio the next week. Not only is he a great trainer, but he's also a great physical therapist. He knew which exercises wouldn't aggravate my injury and gave me exercises and stretches to do on my own. I would definitely recommend Success to anyone looking to get back to 100%, while still getting a great workout!

I have had the pleasure of working with Chris for over a year now. Over the past four months, even…read morewith the change to virtual coaching, he has helped me continue to make immense progress. I have become stronger, more flexible, and my endurance has improved. I have lost over 25 pounds. I have stenosis in my cervical spine which was damaged many years ago. I have three vertebrae fused as well. Over time, I have developed pain and loss of sensation in my left arm and hand. Since working with Chris, through a methodical program of development, I continue to achieve goals that I did not think would be possible. The ELDOA training has helped me to relieve pressure in my neck and lower back. I have been able to increase the flow of oxygen to these parts of my body and organs that have needed this and continue to. It has become part of my daily routine to help ensure that my body will function properly. Working one on one with Chris has helped me immensely. One of my goals has been to be able to play tennis and skiing at a high level without reinjuring myself. Before, I was always hurting myself by doing various exercises or stretches incorrectly. After working with an expert in these areas, Chris was able to create an individual program that works for me. As I progress, he is able to incorporate more advanced exercises and stretches into my program. If things go awry, Chris can immediately address the issue in order to avoid setbacks. Every few months, Chris asks me to fill out an assessment with questions about my progress and goals. The assessments help to give Chris an honest (if you are willing to answer the questions honestly) starting point in helping me to incorporate a personal program that I can continue to benefit from. It has provided me future talking points to help me achieve my goals. The diet program, which I no longer look at as a diet, but a shift on how and what I eat that can benefit my overall health, has been tremendous. I have more energy and I feel better. At the beginning, it was an adjustment but Chris will help you guide yourself through if you are willing to put the effort in. As with anything, it is ultimately you who will have to make the changes necessary for you. It took me a while to accept that but once I had, I started to learn and understand how the body functions more. Chris's coaching approach is a holistic approach. One aspect affects the others. Stretching helps open up the blood and oxygen flow. Strengthening helps your overall health and ability to participate in physical activities. The nutritional aspect helps to fuel and maintain my energy and at the same time to lose the weight that I have unfortunately put on during my inability to work through my pain. With Chris's ability to empathize with what I was and still am dealing with, we were able to achieve things that I never thought I'd be able to do again. His expertise in how the nervous system works has been instrumental in my progression. Without hesitation, I have and will continue to endorse and recommend his services.

Chris, the owner of Dhekana Wellness, has been nothing but amazing to work with. He is extremely…read moreknowledgeable and professional, and has been an advisor to me on so much more than just exercise and fitness! His devotion to his work and his fitness knowledge makes him able to tailor exercise in the moment to facilitate pain or discomfort. He is flexible, encouraging and supportive, and works hard to create programs based on my likes and dislikes, preferences, time availability and general thoughts on fitness- making it impossible for me to NOT commit or follow through. Chris is a pleasure to work with and spend time with, making my training fun and something I look forward to instead of dreading! As someone with a complicated injury, Chris has helped me heal and get back to being active and stronger than I've been in years, with no further complications. I highly recommend him for any fitness or health goals.

He not only put me back on my feet, but was able to teach me a routine that allowed me to be pain free. In short, he has diagnosed and treated what most doctors and physical therapist could not and did not do. Now three years later I have become a devoted practitioner of the Pilates cult as taught by this amazing teacher and true artist. He has trained a very able group of teachers to run with him his studio, so you are certain to have the style that will suit your needs at any time of the day. I will highly recommend this establishment.

As a Pilates instructor myself and neighbor, I've been meaning to try this place for years. When I…read morebecame pregnant, I decided that I wanted to do small group classes or privates instead of a big class or my own instructing at home to be sure I was working out safely. The privates are really good. The small group classes are odd. It's about 5 people usually, and everyone is doing something different - which in theory sounds great (individualized). However, the instructor just quickly gives you an instruction and then walks away and is on to the next person. Therefore, you are often left not being completely clear what you're supposed to do (and there's nobody to imitate) or finishing your exercise and laying there waiting for her to come back to you (wasting your time). Also, they're $50 a class. I enjoyed it, but it didn't seem worth it to continue - for the price or the workout.
