OsteoStrong NYC Flatiron — Local services in New York

This absolutely WORKS!!! I was diagnosed with osteopenia in 2020. I am a lifelong athlete, trainer and gym owner, in my 50's. So the diagnosis was shocking as I do heavy weight training on a regular basis, though I have always had small bone structure. I upped my weight training as much as I could without injuring myself and religiously took a calcium supplement specifically designed for building bones. My orthopedic surgeon told me that without taking prescription meds that have serious side effects, bone density does not usually get better on its own, it tends to get worse with age. In 2021, after one year of heavy weight training and calcium supplementation, I was dismayed to find that my bone density had not improved at my next DEXA scan. Then a relative told me about OsteoStrong. Being a trainer, I understood the science and it made total sense! I immediately got started with weekly sessions. I couldn't wait to see if I could improve my bone density, and finally in January of 2022 I got my annual DEXA scan. And my bone density had improved by .7 standard deviations, which is around 10%, in just one year!!! And I am sure it will continue to improve. The only thing I had added to my regimen was the OsteoStrong. I promise you, it works! As an unexpected benefit, all the nagging injuries, aches and pains I had been plagued with for years which I thought were just the inevitable downside of aging have gotten remarkably better. I was not able to deadlift more than around 140lbs, or my lower back would "go out", I'd get a twinge and then be out of commission for days. I tried every back and core strengthening exercise, stretching, etc. to no avail. I couldn't squat heavy anymore, due to cartilage damage in my right knee. The year I started doing the OsteoStrong, I noticed that I was deadlifting over 150lbs and what?? NO lower back pain! So I kept going. Now, at age 53, I am able to deadlift 235lbs, which is as much or more than I lifted in my 20's! And my back is pain free. I can also squat about the same as long as I control my range of motion to protect my knees. OsteoStrong is nothing short of a miracle based in sound science. I would recommend it to anyone who has osteoporosis or osteopenia who doesn't want to take drugs with dangerous side effects. And to all athletes of any age who want to improve their performance and gain an edge naturally, or just want to be able to train without pain or injury for life. It makes your whole skeletal system, joints and tendons feel stronger and more stable, more cohesive, so you can train harder and get better results. That's the best way I can describe it. You can only train as hard as your skeletal system will tolerate, and this is a game changer. And it takes only like 10 minutes or less! Anyone who wants to know more about my story in person and see my DEXA scan results, I will meet you at OsteoStrong Flatiron! Just ask them and they'll contact me. I pay for my own sessions like everyone else, but I believe in it that much and I think this is a groundbreaking treatment for building bone density, ultimate skeletal health and maximum gains in strength and fitness. Everyone at OsteoStrong is amazing, they are so knowledgeable and caring and I always look forward to seeing...

I have osteoporosis, and since I was diagnosed a little over two years ago I have been doing weight training with a personal trainer and at home along with other exercises. However, I discovered at my most recent bone density scan that my bones had weakened further, which is why I decided to join Osteostrong. While I won't know how effective it is until I have another bone density test in a year, I can say that the exercises make me feel stronger. I also appreciate that, unlike lifting weights, there is no way you can do Osteostrong exercises incorrectly and injure yourself. Each machine is fully adjustable, and when you get on, a staff member checks the angle of your arms and legs, the distance from your seat to the machine, etc. to make sure that you are in the correct position. Not to mention that there is nothing you can drop on your foot! The machines also let you know in real time how well you are doing compared to previous weeks and in relation to your body weight.

Recently I was feeling extremely tired and not really looking forward to my session, but I found myself feeling more energized afterward, which is also a good thing. The clients all seem to have their favorite staff members, and mine is Emilio -- not only do I always enjoy talking with him, but I seem to get the best numbers on the machines with him. I will update my review in a year, but I do recommend this program to my friends...

After almost a full year at OsteoStrong, I feel completely knowledgeable and validated to post this review. I have to say, I was skeptical to join at first. Just these four machines and such a fast “work out” are supposed to change my bone density? Well, the short answer is Yes! (And that’s all that matters). But you get so much more, at least at Flatiron you do! I’m writing this now because I just had my second bone density exam, and the comparison to my previous DXA showed a significant improvement. Yes, this works. This particular date & location has become my weekly commitment to health. And it only takes 15 minutes. On top of that you can opt to enjoy the modalities which include compression boots or a PEMF mat or infrared light. There’s also a BioCharger room, though I did not use that much. The staff is incredible! Manager Emily who is sadly now departing built a haven of trust and knowledge. Lanie is one of the other coaches who is equally great at her job and gets you informed and inspired. If you commit to going for a short time (the vibrating warm-up and machines take 15 mins—but stay for a leg compression!) once a week you WILL improve your bone density, your health and future! The space is always clean, the other members are lovely, and it’s an overall camaraderie of people who opt for...
