Trainers near Clifton

“The environment is friendly and the staff is amazing. The equipment is clean and up to date. They are always adding new equipment to make the gym even better.“

“This is a good gym and the staff is friendly and helpful. I do want to suggest exchanging some of the many ellipticals ---so many seem unnecessary and there are plenty empty all the time--- with a couple of Incline Hack Squat Machines and Decline Chest Press Machines. I've seen both at other PF around here but this is my preferred location.
Thanks for reading and considering these options.

“If you are seeking a personal trainer and live in the Hoboken/Weehawken/Union City area I highly recommend J Train. Over the last few years I've taken classes/worked out on and off in the area - Orange Theory, F45, Pilates, Yoga and even had a trainer come to my building most recently. If you have a child and busy work schedule, training scheduling is a big deal. It's the main reason I had to cut the cord on places like Orange Theory because the wide window to cancel just didn't work for me. J Trains process to schedule sessions a week out based on what you have going on works very well for me. They still have a cancel window but every week is a reset and he works with you and the rest of his clients based on availability. Now on to the more important part - the work out. While I did like the convenience of having a trainer come to my building, I see higher value in going to their studio. All of the equipment is ready to go so you jump right in the second you arrive. All training is 1 on 1. The trainers are professional, they course correct every step of the way, and explain what muscles you are working and why. Finally, I do like the fact that this is a small business that has been a part of the Hoboken community for a number of years. The owner lives in the area, and at times partners with other local businesses to either support local charities, or help promote those other businesses.“

“I’m currently on a healing journey for an old shoulder injury as an amateur Muay Thai fighter. In the short time working with Doctor Puzio, I've been able to regain my confidence in my movements and prevent future injuries. The professionalism and the ability to identify the issue and start fixing it right away has been remarkable.“

“I love the FIT lab community. The trainers have a wealth of knowledge that I find inspiring as an aspiring personal trainer myself. The workouts are meaningful and effective. The atmosphere at the gym is welcoming, motivating, and fun.“

“This F45 is a very special place. I encourage anyone who is slightly interested to try it out.I took advantage of Wahlberg Week, which is a twice-a-year promotion all F45 clubs do where you can try 7 classes for $7. Basically free. After completing 6 of those classes, I wish that I had found this place sooner.What sets those place apart from other workout studios are the coaches and community aspects. I picked up on it right away. The coaches are familiar with all members and know them by name. They quickly saw that I was a new face and learned my name. I was getting coached right away like I was part of the team!If you’re not familiar with how F45 works, definitely look that up. You can find that anywhere. The movements are functional and often challenging! But I want to give most of my review to raving about these high-quality coaches.The coaches at F45 North Paramus are TOP NOTCH! After one week I remember many names…Michelle, Nick, Dani, Marissa, Jenny, Drea, Felicia, Rakeesh….they all have such command of these movements. They’re all committed and dedicated to helping their members. Try a class and see for yourself! They fly around the room during workouts and help each person, adding a level of personal coaching to the classes that helps you improve your form!During each class I took, I had a “mini one-on-one” session with each coach where they took time to show me a movement I wasn’t doing correctly, watch me do it, and help me fix my form. It doesn’t get more personal in a class setting!And all of the coaches at this F45 have such positive, fun, uplifting personalities. They all bring their own flare to the demos and classes to bring that community aspect. Their infectious personalities permeate the room and get others motivated!! They play great music too, playing DJ mixes that cover tons of songs you know.Did I mention this club sends out a newsletter to its members?! How great is that! Once again, it provides a fun sense of belonging to a community all about getting in shape.I had such a fun time at F45 North Paramus AND improved on several movements! They have a special thing going here, and they’re ready to accept anyone who wants to come with a positive attitude and put in the work to better themselves!“

“Coach Jeremy Pushes me to my physical limits and does a great job keeping every workout challenging.“

“I went for the intro session with Wichard. He had such great energy and was extremely personable. He asked me about my fitness goals, my nutrition, and my pain points when it came to working out. The workout we did was challenging but doable, and he was very encouraging and didn’t let me quit on myself (though I tried a couple times lol). I left feeling great. Check him out!!“

“Excellent class today.. especially coach PABLO, very attentive to the class, he even allocated time for a STRETCH of at least 10 MINUTES to avoid injuries, he puts the clients' needs above all else. EXCELLENT SERVICE.. 5 STARS is not enough for what they do... That's if they play reggaeton without fear“

“Thank you to the trainers who motivate, support, and teach all the exercises. Even if you’re a beginner, there’s no need to worry—they will guide you through everything. The atmosphere is so friendly that it makes you want to come back again and again!“

“They're very nice and so helpful with my recovery. I recommend this place to everyone.“

“Went for about a year before taking time off for medical reasons. Really missed how great I felt while strength training. Fewer aches and pains, more energetic, just noticeably better. The people there are great, encouraging and non judgmental. Really enjoy my few minutes each week there.“

“Mike Romano is fabulous: a true professional and a wonderful human being into the bargain. His training is completely personalized and truly holistic. His sessions are a pleasure to experience.“

“Matt is EXCELLENT.

Friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, professional and thoughtful in his approach. Pushes me out of my comfort zone, always has new approaches to keep me on my toes, and overall elevates my training experience.

Highly, highly recommend!!!“

“Great place! Small group setting, which I love! Natasha is fantastic! Love all her classes!“

“Corey has been my trainer for 6 months now. I can’t say enough great things about him - but I’ll give it a shot on here. First, he’s just a great trainer who knows what he is doing and will help you with your fitness goals. He designs your workouts and supports you both within his gym and outside his gym. He customized a plan for me, keeps track of all my work outs, and adjusts as necessary. He also helped with nutrition questions and advice. But I think most importantly is, Corey is just a great guy. He makes you feel comfortable and engaged and is a joy to spend an hour with. I would highly recommend giving him a shot!Also, as a side note - I was someone who used to try all of the gym class fads - from CrossFit to F45 to a lot of the places around town. What I finally realized was - you just need to lift something heavy, use the right form, start eating better, and stick to it. I feel like this is the best and most effective regiment and I’m glad I finally made it here, with Corey’s help!“

“I started training with Master Neal about six months and I'm very pleased with my progress. After informing him of my concerns and what I was hoping to accomplish, he set a program for me to meet these goal. As I continued with my training, I found Master Neal to be very professional and attentive. Any questions or concerns I had were addressed to my satisfaction. I highly recommend him for personal training.“

“I've been going here for a little over 2 years. Carlos is amazing to work with. He always varies up the exercises so you don't get bored. He holds you accountable and pushes you to your limit, while also keeping any injuries in mind. Highly recommend.“

“I've worked with several trainers over the last 20 years and Yeufre is by far the best I've worked with. He is extremely knowledgeable about Kinesiology and tailors workouts towards strength, mobility and endurance. He's a true professional and easy to work with.“

“Amazing place! My son loves each class and has been going for almost 2 years. He has learned so much in this time! They staff is supportive and helpful and really cares about each and every one of them. Highly recommend.“

“This is a wonderful wrestling school. I have nothing but great things to say about Elmer and the rest of the coaches at Edge. They do a terrific job of running the youth wrestling program. They have a truly long term perspective on making the program as retainable and fun for kids as possible - while still making sure they are learning. If you are thinking about enrolling your kid in a youth wrestling program, this is where you want to be.“

“My son loves Master Joe, he was first introduced via his school. Now I got him signed up for unlimited classes. 100% recommend ?“

“Alessandro is the best! I have had chronic hip pain for years that went away after working with Alessandro. He is extremely knowledgeable! What sets him apart is that he gives his classes exercises that are functional and healing for the body. I cannot recommend him enough!!“

“Have been working with Jarrett for several months now and have been extremely happy. He is simply great, has helped me achieve my goals and has pushed me to make new ones! Highly recommend!!“

“I joined Thunder Fitness about 3 weeks ago. I signed up to do the 6 week challenge. The challenge includes unlimited access to classes as well as a weekly meeting with a nutritionist. I’m only half way through and I had no idea how life changing this experience would be. If you’re like me and have struggled on and off with weight, if you’ve tried every faddy, toxic diet then you CANNOT unlearn dieting by yourself. It’s impossible. Over the past three weeks I’ve wanted to fall back into skipping meals, cutting out entire food groups, counting and weighing everything. But I haven’t and I’ve lost TEN lbs. TEN and my body is changing. The workouts are hard, but they’re 45 mins and if I can do it, you can. You don’t even have to think, you’re going to get a full body workout out that’s been designed to work all muscle groups, paving the way for a great shaped healthy body, little by little in a HEALTHY way. Even the workouts I was doing were WRONG. Lifting so heavy I could barely move after or hours of cardio. I also worked in a gym for 6 years, have been a member of every online bootcamp and in person fitness trend. It’s motivating to see the same group give or take most days, the instructors are insanely awesome (Tracey and Austin). The owner Jeremie is so great and honest. And lastly I need to talk about someone really cool. Pam! Pam is a nutritionist and trainer. In her classes she gives a mantra and a game changing tip. Today she talked about embracing the process, that we’ll get to our destination if we enjoy the journey. I really needed to hear that this morning, it completely changed my mind set. She’s taught me how to breathe when performing exercises… I didn’t know that breath work could propel a workout in such a way. Again I worked in a gym for 6 years and no one told me. I couldn’t do it alone. I thought I could. I respect Pam’s nutrition plan so much, for the first time I’m allowing myself to eat, I’m never hungry. I’ve spent my life being hungry. I really recommend this place with my whole heart! Thanks Thunder Fitness, I’ve been needing this knowledge and motivation since I was about 12 years old.“

“I've had a really fantastic experience at Evolve (Nelson is my trainer). They clearly match their approach to each unique person -- whether you are new to weight lifting or an experienced athlete. The gym is large with all of the equipment, yet private with a boutique feel. They do one-on-one training as well as small group sessions. Highly recommend.“

“I’ve been working with Thelis over the past year, and I’ve seen a paradigm shift in my body tone, body strength and nutritional habits. My general inclination was to not work out — it’s been most impressive to see how I’m now excited and look forward to our workout sessions. Thelis is a motivating and adaptable coach that pushes you while also working with your needs. I am now back to my college weight from 15 years ago and feel great.“
