MTHD by Us — Local services in New York

MTHD by Oscar is first class all the way. In NYC it’s easy to hop around to different gyms and fitness studios, but after my first class at MTHD, I knew I found my home base. Great people, great classes, and a great space!

The People: Oscar and his team make MTHD an inclusive, welcoming community. From day one, the people at MTHD make you feel like you belong. The trainers are passionate about teaching and make a huge effort to meet individual needs with modifications or extra challenges. The people teaching you are pros - they are boxers, lifters, yogis, and great athletes who understand the technical aspects of what they are teaching. They all have A+ playlists too.

Beyond the staff, the people I’ve met at MTHD by Oscar have all been friendly, driven, and up for a challenge. You’ll get to know the people around you and are encouraged to cheer each other on and help each other tackle the next challenge.

The Classes: MTHD by Oscar has an amazing range of classes and caters to every level. I first tried MTHD for the boxing classes, but quickly became curious about the other offerings and have enjoyed every class I’ve tried. I love being able to get in a high intensity boxing workout one day, lift heavy another, and recover with yoga and stretching classes when I need a break. Nothing ever feels stagnant, and the trainers mix up the cadence and flow of every class to keep things fresh and challenging. Technique is stressed in all of the classes, which is something I seek out, especially for boxing and lifting. Even when things are intense in the classes, I’ve felt supported and encouraged, not like I'm getting drilled into the ground.

The Space: MTHD by Oscar is a modern space with great amenities. The studio is bright with high ceilings, the custom art on the walls is awesome, and all of the equipment is brand new and of high quality. While small, the gym has everything I could think of to amp my workout - you can even grab a Theragun to warm up or cool down after your workout. The locker rooms are outfitted with electronic lockers, premium products, and robes and towels. There is also a great “living room” space with tables and sofas where you can grab a cup of coffee or a snack and relax before or after class.

The X-Factor at MTHD by Oscar really is the team - the phenomenal trainers, and Oscar himself, make this place exceptional. I am so lucky to have MTHD in my...

MTHD by Oscar is truly like no other gym! Everyone would agree that going to the gym (left alone a new one) can be very daunting, and can, oftentimes, feel like a chore. I have been looking for the “right” gym for a while, so much so that last time I has stepped foot in a gym was right before covid (and even then going to the gym never really was an exciting moment but hello discipline!).

I started MthdbyOscar with the entry pack to test it out, not only the space, but the people as well from the staff, to the trainers and the members. And let me tell you, I left re-energised more than I thought I would, met incredible people, and I signed up immediately after (because commitment!). The energy in the entire space is palpable and contagious and that is largely due to its people. The place is stunning, very clean and makes you feel at home. But the people!! I have trained with the legendary Oscar, the fabulous Rubie and the amazing Rich, and they all have the same passion and force to get people motivated and smiling through challenging workouts (and soreness, let’s be honest, but no pain no gain, right?) with “Joy” (pun intended here - Joy carries her name very well and contributes in making this place so special)! I can go on and on, but all I will say is if you come in, all you will see is a community coming together for a great workout and enjoying every second of it!

MthdbyOscar is the gym that will make you anticipate the next class but never question whether you...

I love trying out different fitness studios/classes in NYC because I'm always looking for fun and challenging group workouts. MTHD by Oscar is exactly the type of studio I look for. I took the Pure Strength class (a full-body strength workout) with Oscar last week and it was equal parts challenging and engaging. Oscar pushed/motivated us the entire workout, and checked in on us throughout the class. This particular class incorporated weights, resistance bands, and sliders, and I felt every bit of it (in the best way)!

Everyone who works here is incredibly kind and helpful; you can tell they care about making sure you have a good experience and get a good workout in. The locker rooms are fully stocked and perfect for whatever you need before/after your workout (the space itself is all-around gorgeous). Amazing workouts. Amazing instructors (Oscar, the founder, is the real deal). Amazing studio. Can’t recommend this...
