Call it Fit — Local services in New York

I'm a 48-year-old male who runs 5-6 times a week, and I've been working with Ben (owner of Call It Fit) twice weekly for several months now. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Ben's knowledge and expertise in strength-based training are truly impressive. He designs personalized workouts that are challenging and effective. His private studio is a huge plus – it's well-equipped, and I love not having to worry about waiting for equipment or navigating a crowded gym. The scheduling is incredibly convenient, and Ben is always flexible to accommodate my busy schedule.

More importantly, I've seen fantastic results! Since starting with Ben, I've lost 15 pounds, gained noticeable muscle mass and strength, and significantly improved my flexibility. This has been invaluable for my running.

What truly sets Ben apart, though, is his ability to work with clients who have specific needs. I battle with vertigo and get dizzy easily, and recently tore my rotator cuff working out at home. Ben has been able to adjust my workouts to accommodate my injuries and disabilities with care and ease, shifting from a focus on growth to recovery. He made me feel safe and supported during my fitness journey, which is crucial, especially when dealing with injuries. Let's face it, injuries are super tough to endure and maintain a commitment to working out while you’re in recovery, but Ben made it possible.

The value you get for the cost of each session is exceptional. Ben's dedication to his clients' success is evident in every workout.

If you're looking for an exceptional personal trainer who is knowledgeable, experienced, and committed to helping you achieve your fitness goals, and who can adapt to your specific needs, Ben (at Call It Fit) is the perfect choice. Highly recommend for all your fitness...

Working with Ben has been my first time with a personal trainer and I’m so glad that I found him. I came with severe lower back pain and in weeks, he helped me strengthen the muscles to lower the pain significantly and add a great deal of mobility. He’s also helped me lose 11 lbs and counting with a definite increase in upper body strength and squat lifts. I love that he has a private studio, which gives a judgement-free space with no distractions. Ben is knowledgeable about the body and is great at encouraging and knowing when to push and when to ease up. I appreciate most that he specifically tailors each workout to my abilities and pain levels in the moment, adapting to where I’m at each day- something a video or a class wouldn’t be able to do. Being convenient and affordable is the cherry on top....

I have had 14 sessions so far with Call It Fit owner, Ben Raymond. I am returning to the gym after being sidelined by a series of age-related/ wear and tear injuries. It has been difficult to be patient with healing in order to strengthen. Ben is doing an excellent job of helping me improve my range of motion, mobility, stability AND restoring strength. He is knowledgeable of anatomy and kinesiology as well as strength training techniques and form. He is easy to work with, attentive (not checking his phone constantly), organized, keeps the gym clean, and (thank god) has a sense of humor. I feel confident that, with Ben’s expertise, I am going to hit my goals and then...
