"'What would you try if success was guaranteed?' That's the slogan that first attracted me to NYPT. A year later I feel that I have not only gained Mike's support, but also the support of his entire team of trainers. Michael Shaw is not only a trainer, but a coach. He inspires you to succeed and to strive for your goals. Whether the objective is building strength, weight loss or increasing your endurance, Mike makes you believe you can achieve it!"

New York Personal Training is the real thing. I began at NYPT with some fear about being in a gym and seeming out of place, as well as old and out of shape. Instead I found that the NYPT trainers invigorate without intimidation, provide New York quality without New York attitude. Two and a half years later, it's an important part of my everyday routine – and I can't imagine life without it!

I never really liked working out as it was extremely difficult to get motivated. Having a gym membership didn't help as they are always crowded and can be very unmotivating. After signing up at NY Personal training I have a very different attitude toward exercising. Now I can't get enough. I enjoy exercising and if I miss a day I can't wait to get back. The trainers are very professional, very motivating and because it's personal training I have seen very positive, fast results. The workout is different every time so I never get bored and actually I am always motivated to push myself more.

I feel very fortunate for having found New York Personal Training. I was in search of a work-out regimen that I would stay committed to in order to look my absolute best for my upcoming wedding. Michael Shaw of NYPT has done a fabulous job. Not only has he created a personalized routine for me, but his encouragement, praise and humor create an atmosphere that motivates you to push yourself to the maximum extent possible. I have worked with many trainers at gyms throughout the city; there is no trainer like Michael and no gym like New York Personal Training.

I can't tell you how much my body changed after I started training with Mike Shaw at New York Personal Training. I had been working out for years on my own but never seemed to get my body to look the way I wanted. No matter how much I worked out, I still had those awful love handles!! Mike changed all that for me. My muscles and body took on a whole new shape and I am finally happy with the way I look. Mike is so professional and his gym offers a personal atmosphere. I have in the past and will continue to recommend many people to New York Personal Training.

Charlie and I are so happy that we found your facility. It is truly unlike any 'gym' experience in the city. And as we are now in our third week, we couldn't be happier with the results. Roody is such a great, motivating trainer. Thank you for pairing him with us. I can't imagine what we will feel like (and look like) after 12 weeks. After joining NYPT, we aren't quite sure why people would go anywhere else.

New York Personal Training was the best program I have done and gave me the results I couldn't dream of getting. I never looked better in my life, and my wedding dress certainly held NO prisoners! The trainers work with you not only in the gym, but outside too, when you have questions or concerns they are ALWAYS there to help. Thank you! 

I found New York Personal Training six months before my wedding. As early as my first consultation with Michael Shaw, I knew I had found the right place and the right person to help me reach my goals. Through a personalized routine, Michael kept me motivated and excited about working out, and most of all he pushed me further than I ever thought I could go. Michael was an inspiration to me and his commitment to helping me reach my goals was fulfilled – at my wedding I was in the best shape I had been in years! Even after my wedding I remained a client of New York Personal Training as they continued to help me improve my quality of life. I highly recommend this team of professionals to anyone who wants to get in shape.

I found NYPT last April when I decided I wanted to lose some weight, and build up my strength and confidence. I came in and met with Michael, who paired me up with Jared -- it was like he knew we'd be the perfect match. I would listen to Jared's hilarious stories and he would push me and make me do things I didn't think I could do. He quickly became one of my close friends and helped me lose 15 pounds in just a few short months. Jared not only gave me guidance on what exercises and cardio I should do while on the road (I travel a ton for my job) but he helped me plan a diet that I could stick to and helped me stay motivated with honest feedback and praise when I deserved it. He put together a program that allowed me to see definition in parts of my body I never thought I could, like my arms, shoulders, and back, and helped me regain confidence that I had lost over the last few years. And the best part was that I saw results within a month - significant results.
I have seen Jared work with people who have 50 pounds to lose or 5 pounds to lose, and he's incredible with all of his clients. I would encourage anyone with any sort of fitness goal to meet with him and come up with a plan, because he's a great partner and can help you make it happen, no matter what it is. I trained with him for almost 7 months before moving to Philly from NYC and miss him a ton. But in true Jared fashion, he helps me stay motivated and on track even from far away, and that, to me, is the sign of not only an awesome trainer, but a loyal friend.
If you start training with Jared, tell him Natalie sent you! :)

I trained the summer of 2009 at New York Personal Training with Jared. Apart from the fact that it was very well equipped facility, what was even more appealing was that it was closed private facility, which meant that it was never crowded. This was the first time I was getting a trainer and boy was it a good idea, Jared (my trainer) insured that my motivation continued beyond the first week of training. He was there day in and day out making sure that I did my cardio after the session and had the right meals. He would always find ways to pump my spirit. There were times when I wanted to give up on working out, but Jared the way Jared instructed me kept me going through to the end. Without any exaggeration, Jared changed the way I work out. Earlier I used to workout out to burn all the pizza's I had, but now working out is more than running for 45minutes. I lost significant pounds and built good upper body muscle with Jared. Only in 4 weeks I could see the results and felt stronger. After training with Jared I am set on the path of being fit for life. For anyone who hasn't trained before and is not sure about the idea of personal training, Jared is the best trainer out there. I now look forward to going to gym and feel much more confident with my beach body.

Life-altering experience for a first timer. I never worked out before this in my life. At 32 years of age and a smoker, I realized that I had to do something to reverse the years of abuse on my body. The studio, and especially my trainer (Jared Rappoport) eased me into a new lifestyle, literally. I now look forward to going to the gym, which is something I never would have thought to come out of my mouth. Jared reinforced the importance of nutrition (portion control, frequency & size of meals, etc.), hydration, rest and other facets of health and fitness that will remain with me for the rest of my life. I highly recommend the studio (and Jared) for a comfortable, safe and challenging experience.

I have been a member here for past 6 months, and can not say enough about how professional the trainers are. My trainer, Jared Rappoport, has customized a training program specifically for me. I am a much happier person and stronger than I ever have been due to his expert knowledge of the human body.

NYPT is a great place to work-out and my trainer Jared is fantastic. When I have no enthusiasim for working out he pushes me to succeed. He creates different work outs each session to keep me interested. THe facility is bright, clean and in a great location, and they play the best "old-school rap" around. I would definitly recommend Jared and NYPT to anyone!

The new NYPT facility is great. Working out with Jared Rappoport has made a huge difference in my physical fitness. In addition to tailoring workouts to my personal goals, he also put together an optimal nutrition plan for me to build muscle. Jared is pretty laid-back but isn't shy about really pushing you through your workouts. For anyone new to NYPT, I would recommend him. Whether you're looking to build muscle or just get back in shape he is a great trainer and NYPT is the best place to get it done.

I can't rave enough about NYPT, especially with their new beautiful studio. After close to 5 years training with Michael, I still look forward to seeing him 3 days each week. Not only does he encourage me, but he makes it fun. I've seen the way Michael and his staff care about clients and make substantial differences in our lives. NYPT is created so each person feels special. It's very down to earth and respectful of each person's needs - no matter their age, athleticism, or fitness level. 5 years ago I never would have believed that I'd have stuck with this and feel so much better for having done so.

NYPT is a great place to train. I have been training here for almost 3 years and love it. The new location is a state of the art facility. I definitely recommend NYPT!

I have been working out at NYPT for about a month now, and everyone there is really cool. I was assigned a particular trainer, Jared Rappoport, whose well rounded approach is not strictly limited to challenging me with varied targeted workouts, but has also been a tremendous benefit when it comes to advising me on my diet plan. Joining this gym has helped get my physical fitness to the next level, and I would highly recommend anyone considering taking the next step to give them a call.
Oh, did I mention that they play great music!!!

I am one of those people who can't push themselves on their own. Working with Mike has made all the difference. He is innovative, knowledgeable, friendly and pushes me just enough. The space is clean, the people are nice, the trainers are experienced. What more could you want? For the first time in my life, I look forward to my workout! Thank you NYPT.

NYPT is my first experience with a personal trainer and I love it. I have had 6 weeks of training with Jared and it has mad such a difference. He also mapped out a nutritional plan for me, now I look and feel so much better. I have lost weight and inches and have had fun doing it. One of the great things about NYPT is that you don't pay for personal training sessions on top of a gym membership like you would somewhere else. Also they are extremely flexible, for example I wanted to come in consistently, 3x a week but couldn't afford one-hour sessions at that level of frequency but they offer 1/2 hour high-intensity sessions and that has worked out wonderfully. Jared packs in a great work out in that short time. The facilities are also nice and it's never crowded like other membership gyms. If you are considering hiring a personal trainer, I highly recommend setting up an initial appointment to see what they are about and what they could do for you.
