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!

Even after having a baby I remembered his techniques and lost all of the weight within a few months.

Offering great value (and no membership fee), after initially signing up for their 'Ice-breaker deal, I've been training with Vernon who put me on the path to fitness and I immediately saw big results: I'm in my best shape for years, I've lost pounds, I have increased energy & confidence, my clothes fit me better and overall I feel great. I appreciate the way that the trainers listen to people's individual's needs and tailor the plans to get the results you desire, as well as offering sound advice on fitness and nutrition. Everybody is real friendly, the space is clean, well maintained and well kitted out with new equipment. The place is never crowded as X93 is dedicated only to personal training, so sometimes there may be another client there, but more often than not it is like having my own personal gym!

Anthony and Chris run a highly personalized operation, each working closely with their own clients to develop customized training programs tailored to individual goals. Sessions rotate focus areas -- arms, chest, legs, core, etc. -- creating a well-balanced, full-body approach. They have an intuitive sense of the right weights and exercises, pushing you to improve while always being mindful of limits and proper form. The gym itself is never overcrowded, which allows for focused training and creates a friendly, supportive atmosphere. After five months working with Anthony for one hour per session twice a week I've seen significant improvement in my back, along with increased strength and muscle definition that have meaningfully improved my day-to-day life. It's worth every penny.

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.

I couldn't be happier!! In just the couple of months I've been working with Fred (just one session…read moreper week!), I've already lost fat, gained muscle, and felt stronger and more confident. He is kind, gentle, and encouraging but also pushes me always to do my best and work my hardest. In addition, I'm a person who always gets injured when I exercise, but no longer! Fred is so careful and cautious in his training that I've never even felt a strain from my workouts. It's almost like physical therapy in many ways! Re: COVID safety concerns: This gym is different than most gyms where you hire a personal trainer because at SlowBurn, you and your trainer are the only ones in the gym (vs being in a gyms with tons of people). I highly recommend trying a session if you're ready for something new that works.

When I first joined SS I saw almost immediate results in body comp and just about immediate results…read morein energy and vitality. I would highly recommend reading Fred's book first , "The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution" which is available on Amazon and hopefully will be in e-book format soon. The book can be read in under two hours but gives you a great holistic view of what you are about to undertake in terms of training and even diet. The gym is the cleanest gym I have ever been to. It's cozy but has more than enough room to accommodate at least three personal sessions going on at one time. While I have not worked with all the trainers, the ones I have worked with have been enthusiastic, helpful, encouraging and knowledgeable. Like any personal training sessions they are definitely pricey but the view here is that with this type of work out, you really only need 1-2 sessions per week to see results. If money is tight you can do one home session (which is detailed in his Book) and one gym session per week. Because you are using one slow set to failure, working out at home is not that hard and minimal equipment is needed. I can't think of anything I'd change about Serious Strength and it's a pleasure to be able to focus on training when actually training and not be barraged by gym full of people.

It has been almost three years since Edwin and I have first started working together, and we are…read morestill continuing with it. Ed has been amazing to work with it's an absolute privilege to work with someone who is so understanding and non judgmental and someone who truly cares about the person who they are coaching. You will not only gain a coach or a trainer, who has a wealth of knowledge and experience, but you'll also gain a friend with whom you can talk about your troubles, concerns, someone who will become your support system whether you are trying to lose weight; which was the situation that I was in, or whether you are trying to improve your physique and gain muscle. When we first started, I was at the heaviest weight in my life. I was at 275lbs, could barely perform the basics that he asked of me during our initial session. Here we are, almost 3 years later, 105 lbs. lighter. My life has changed tremendously. I am in the best shape of my life, I am also a lot more happier and content with my own life and my happiness than I have ever been before. I am much more agile and stronger and I grew to appreciate and like the process. It was not easy by any means and I needed someone who will keep me accountable and motivated throughout it all. Whatever your goal is, look no further. You have found your person, just like I have.

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 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.
