BUF Personal Training — Local services in New York

I cannot sing BUF’s praises highly enough. It is an amazing place to train. It’s a steal, it delivers results, and it’s just a great place to be. All of the people are amazing! The trainers and the clients.

Read on for the full review.

I moved to NY from DC where I trained at a neighborhood gym 4 times a week. I had tried training at Equinox but did not like the method or the trainers. BUF had been recommended to me by several friends so I gave it a shot.

The moment I walked in, BUF felt like home. The energy was fantastic. I felt like I had discovered a hidden clubhouse filled with beautiful friendly people.

Rather than working with a dedicated trainer (though you can request to have one) you train with the entire team depending on schedules. At first, I thought I wouldn’t like this but I’ve grown to love it. While working on a core routine, each trainer provides subtle variation that delivers results and keeps it interesting. Plus it’s great to get to know more people.

BUF is a steal! Train 3X a week and it’s $90s a session. The vast majority of clients choose to train at least three times a week. I just went up to 3.5 (they do half hour sessions too).

And it’s delivered results. I was fit when I moved to NY but over the past year my gains have been exponential. Even others at the gym have commented.

Because that’s the great thing about BUF. It really does feel like a family. I have made more friends through BUF than any other place or activity since moving to NY. And a diverse group of friends spanning a range of sexual orientations, age, and demographics. All of these people are fantastic. BUF just attracts the right people.

If Ben would let me, I would invest in BUF. It’s going places and you’re going to be going places if you decide...

I started training at BUF back in late 2020, when the gyms first started reopening to "private training only" towards the end of the first year of the pandemic. My goal was to stay for "just 3 months" until I could return to the big box gyms a short time later.

Well, four years later, I'm still a weekly client, training three days/week, and never returned to any big box gym since. Why? Read on...

I saw results, and the I saw the ones I wanted to see. While I was working on my diet on the side, BUF helped me gain the right muscle mass in the right places on my body: with the help of both tracks (diet regiment and training), I ended leaning up losing 40 lbs over the course of a year, and showing off a six-pack...

The trainers are inclusive and methodical, yet each has a different personality. You just find the ones you vibe with most. It feels like family, and will actually enjoy working out.

It's affordable: prices at big box gyms for training in NYC can top $120+, even when training multiple times per week. Prices at BUF currently don't top $98/1-hour session (and get cheaper as you train more often, train with a buddy (1-on-2), or choose to train in 30-minute sessions).

I continue to maintain my physique, with the help of BUF's method of progressively overloading the muscles utilizing the same core movements, even four years later.

Everyone I've personally referred to BUF, which has been over 15+ members, has become a long-term client with several still training today. I highly, highly recommend the trainers at BUF...
