Easily the best private training gym in the city. The classes are fun and high energy with knowledgeable instructors, atmosphere is welcoming, and the community is unlike anything I’ve experienced anywhere else. Not to mention, you’re gonna get results.
I’ve been training here for 2+ years and, no exaggeration, The Strength Club changed my life. I look and feel better now in my 30s than I did in my 20s. Kenny’s knowledge, patience, support, and firm guidance have pushed me to achieve things I genuinely did not think were possible for “someone like me.” I’ve always been the “curvy girl” and never thought of myself as particularly athletic. The weight room used to intimidate the hell out of me. Now it’s one of my favorite places in the world because of how much I’ve learned from Kenny, and because of the confidence he’s helped instill in me. The strength you gain in the gym really does translate to confidence and strength outside of the gym. That’s especially true if you have real expert guidance and community support, and that combination is really hard to find.
I’ve tried just about every fancy group fitness class in this city - spinning, kickboxing, HIIT, dance cardio, yoga - you name it. Nothing, literally NOTHING has changed my body and my mindset about fitness, and improved my own estimation of what I’m capable of, as dramatically as training at The Strength Club.
Every time I’ve showed up at The Strength Club, it’s consistently been exactly what I needed that day and my day has been better as a result. The commitment to excellence, cleanliness, and great equipment makes it a great place to train for any fitness level, and the welcoming atmosphere and attentive guidance is particularly friendly to newcomers. I can’t recommend it...
Read moreII have been doing CrossFit-style workouts since 2015. I’ve bounced around all the gyms in NYC, but I genuinely found my home here. After the pandemic, I was down and out, out of shape, and embarrassed to walk into any gym, let alone one that might have people I knew. Strength Club literally rebuilt me. They never made me feel anything other than welcome and strong. They cared enough about me (and still do) to make sure I was coming in for workouts and worked with me to get the pounds down and my health back in check. They were a beacon of light for me and oftentimes the only part of my day that made me smile, feel joy, and optimistic. The workouts are strength-based (except conditioning days), so you don't need to worry about burpees - how fast everyone else is going, or what shape they are in. Their merch is sick as hell, and the community they've built is full of the most amazing people. Behind Kenny’s jokes and AC/DC is someone entirely dedicated to helping people. Kristie may not be the loudest person in the room, but her lower body days will leave a lasting impression. I will forever feel indebted to Kenny and Kristie. They will always have my utmost loyalty. Go to this gym even if you aren’t feeling your most confident. I promise you'll walk out with a dash of hope and a deep desire...
Read moreAs a lifelong chubby girl, I always felt so intimidated and clueless at the gym.I'm so grateful I found The Strength Club - it has changed my life!! I'm stronger and leaner than I have ever been.
I've belonged to Equinox, Blink and done every boutique fitness class but never really felt comfortable in these settings. This gym has an amazing leadership team that has the expertise, passion and patience to teach me proper strength training.
Kenny and Kristie took it slow, really helped me learn how to move, and gradually challenged me to do more. Their constant attention and feedback in group classes and 1:1 training has kept me motivated and helped me continue to improve.
And the community they've developed is so welcoming! The classes always include incredible people who inspire me to grow stronger and challenge myself further. From day one, I've never felt intimidated and truly feel the support of the community cheering me on.
This is the perfect gym for fitness enthusiasts and newbies alike. Can't...
