OPEX Riverdale NYC — Local services in New York

Second review 2022: Adding an updated review: A year and half into my OPEX experience.

*Coach Johnel Love my Coach Johnel! He encouraged me, after my recent consultation, to continue or to return to using what works for me which includes using the MyFitnessPal app. I use it daily again, I was off of it for a few months and it showed. I add what I eat daily as well as my exercise from OPEX. I’ve lost 5lbs since the consult and gained energy! Encouraged again by both Johnel and the sun, I am walking daily and like seriously walking.

*Life Coach Maria I love Maria! I was encouraged by Maria to eat more protein in the evening and less carbs as carbs can keep you up. I have been told about the more protein often but didn’t quite make the connection that carbs can keep you up at night. It was like a lightbulb because I do have difficulty getting to sleep for various reasons.

Coach Johnel and Life Coach Maria Johnel and Maria made a nice team during my consult. Maybe it’s the male/female dynamic, or maybe just both are good listeners. I like how they each pinpoint different targets for me. I enjoyed the inclusion of a more physical/emotional conversation on targeting my goals. Both encouraged sleeping more at night. Hearing that advice again and getting the evening CoachRx notifications have been helpful. Because I started sleeping 1-2 hours earlier I’ve been able to wake up 1/2 an hour earlier - and that half-hour, which may not sound like much, has led me to walk to work in the morning 3 days this week. It’s about a 40-45 minute walk. 😊👍

Future goals - getting more veggies in.

*Coach Bryan I hit a weight plateau this week and I believe that Bryan helped me out with that plateau yesterday! He encouraged me to go from a 10lb to a 15lb plate. Yes, I cursed him in my head - but lovingly of course! He’s a good one. Let’s keep him! 😀

*Coach Waldo I worked with Mr. Waldo on Monday and appreciated that he noticed an exercise that was a little too challenging for me. *Coach Adam also noticed it as well a week or two ago.

Coach Waldo recommended a different exercise that would provide a similar result which worked for me. I appreciated that.

I also appreciate how each coach notices things - a year and a half into my OPEX experience!

Thank you OPEX coaches! It's hard work to continue a workout plan, but it's helpful when you have people rooting for your success and encouraging you to challenge yourself! 😀

First Review 2021: I've enjoyed working out here with the different coaches for the past few months. I was ready to make a change. The individualized training has helped with my health, energy levels, strength and weight. You'll get what you put in. Highly...

I found this place online and before even visiting I already knew I was going to join. I set up a tour with Adam. When I arrived Adam was not there, so another gentleman gave me a tour. The tour was fine, but when I asked him for the price he told me Adam had to give me the price,which I found very odd for a business. Adam called me and seemed very distracted. He verbally gives me some prices, which I don't understand why the first person couldn't do that. I ask him to provide me the price in writing. He says he will text me. Never does. I email him. I don't get a response. So I call and finally he texts me some prices. This looks as if you are giving different prices to different people; which is unacceptable. Adam also didnt seem very interested in me joining, which is probably why I had the experience I had.I was excited to join since I live close by, but after that experience, I obviously...

Opex Riverdale is the gym to be at within the NYC area. The atmosphere, the coaches, and the personalized fitness that’s provided is the most bang for your buck if you ask me. Being a client here has helped me reach lifting goals that I have had, but never achieved on my own. The coaches help with getting your nutrition right, scheduling the days of workout, and are there to make sure you’re doing things correctly! If you’re looking to find a way to improve your own physique or just sustaining it, this is the place to be. All the coaches have played a role in my personal fitness goals, and I’m sure they’ve impacted others throughout time. Waldo, Adam, John, Johnel, and Felix were there to provide information/ assistance when needed. They were also there to push me when it...
