Method Fitness Personal Trainers NYC

Have been training for about 6months now. Love my trainer. Have lost weight, gained muscle and stamina, toned up and I feel much more confident in my skin.
Every workout is different so I never get bored and it never gets easy!
Gym is spotless, never crowded, staff are friendly and I love that I can come and use the gym on my own as well.
I am a very happy customer.

Pros: so far everything

I have been training with Wes for close to a year now and I feel terrific. My over-all energy level is up and I feel much healthier.

I have dropped 60 lbs pounds since I started and all my family and friends definatley notice the difference.

If you are looking for a not crowded, sun-drenched clean facility with a great staff this is the place.

Pros: Friendly Staff, Great Trainers!

Cons: Had to buy new clothes because of all the weight that I lost

I came across Method Fitness here on City Search and decided to give them a try.

After my intial trial workout I was so impressed by their program, their trainers and their facility that I singed up and reffered my wife. ( Shh...They give you a free workout for reffering someone)

We have had the same trainer for the past 8 months that we have been with Method Fitness. He always pushes past a point where we might have given up on our own. The real reward is how great you feel after you complete your workout!

Very satified!

Pros: Great trainers, great faciltiy, great service!

Cons: My only dissapointment is that I didn't find them sooner.

I have been working out with Method Fitness for close to a year now.

I am really pleased with the results, I've lost 15 pounds since I've started and my bodyfat has dropped to where I can see nice definition in my arms, abdominals and thighs.

The trainers are all very professional and know what they are doing. I have been working out with the same trainer the entire time that I have been there and I love the fact that they don't switch your trainers around like some other companies do.

The location is ideal, it's right in the Hilton on 6th and 53rd. The space is very clean and not overcrowded with the typical mob of clients that you would expect at commercial gyms.

The entire staff and management are very polite and curteous, I highly recommend this company!

Pros: Great personal training company, very detail oriented!

Cons: None

Watch out when you sign up for a package with this company. The owner is very pushy and made promises about my workouts that he didn't keep. I just got a bad feeling from him. Also, be sure the compnay doesn't force you to switch trainers once you find one you like--I rotated through tons of different trainers (not by choice) before I insisted on seeing the same one each time.

Method Fitness is an incredible company. I recently decided to start exercising and this company has enabled me to stick with it for longer than I ever thought I would. The set up could not be more convenient (trainers can either come to your house (or gym, I think) or you can meet at their gym w/o paying a gym membership). David, the owner, is always pleasant and responsive. As for the training, beyond expectations! I do not particularly like exercising as a general rule but the trainer I work with - Liz - is very motivating and keeps every session interesting. She has a wondefrul personality and is completely dedicated. The hour flies by and I know I have gotten stronger by working with her. I highly recommend her and Method Fitness!

I am very pleased with the personal training I've received from Method Fitness. I feel as though my workouts really target the areas of my body that I want to strengthen and tone- and I've definately noticed results. My trainer is both positive and motivating. My overall health has improved and I have much more energy. I highly recommend Method Fitness!

Method Fitness rocks. The service is amazing. I've had trainors come to my apartment and give me a great workout. I also go to the location at the Hilton and always get a good sweat on. The trainers are knowledgeable and take the time to make sure I'm doing all the exercises correclty. I highly recommend Method Fitness for at home training sessions or in the gym sessions. Great service, great people!

I have been to many personal trainers in several cities over the last few years. Dave, the owner of Method Fitness, has created a wonderful company geared toward the self-improvement, fitness, and health of his clients.

I began working with Dave two months ago. Quickly he put together a routine that would work well with the other physical activities I engage in. His workouts are challenging and rarely does he give me the same exercise two sessions in a row. His program was created to get harder over time and to deliver results. I am more toned, have a healthier heart, and feel better in just eight weeks of working out together....what other trainers can say that.

The best part is that I don't have to haul myself into one of the "chain gyms" in the city, where your training sessions cost a ton but are more about a function of what they are paying in rent than about the quality of the training sessions.

I have never posted on Citysearch before, but Dave is a phenomenal trainer, and anyone looking for a new work out routine will love him!

I have been training with Natalie at home for just a few weeks, once or twice a week. She is great! I told her the areas I wanted to focus on and our hard work is paying off. I look and feel leaner. I love training at home...no battling the crowds at the gym...and no excuses to skip a workout b/c I'm too tired to go to the gym. Method ordered my equipment for me (just some free weights and a stability ball). I continue working out on my on too...Natalie tells me what to do on my off days. I wish I had discovered Method sooner!

Pros: The workout comes to you.

Cons: You will get spoiled.

Ann Marie performed a very excellent massage! I would highly recommend her and Method Fitness at the Hilton! I would definitely visit this facility again and request her for a massage.

Posted 08/09/06

from top to bottom, this place treated me right. friendly faces, calm environment--exactly what i needed.

method fitness works out of the hilton, so it's an added bonus. they have excellent equipment (i think it was renovated last month!!) and i've never had to wait for a piece of cardio.

Posted 07/20/06

this is an overall review on method & hilton spa since my method massage was at the hilton spa and it was all experienced together.

first, Spa at Hilton. i admit that after receiving a gift treatment for this hilton spa, i did not expect much. afterall, who has even heard of the Spa at Hilton? well, against my better judgement i am writing this because of the wonderful treatment i received there. not many people know about this spa, which is partly why i so pleasantly suprised to find it luxuriously appointed, sparklying clean, and very calming. the changing room is immaculate and the steam/sauna first rate. when i called to make my appointment, the staff was very attentive and even graciously took the time to actually see what therapy i needed so they could recommend the right massage therapist. the waiting area is a bit small, but i guess the mainpoint is that i had hardly sat down before it was time for the treatment! beverage choice was a bit lacking, but one of the staff thoughtfully brought me something else!

which brings me to the massage. carmine was caring and very nurturing. she was not rushed at all and actually took time beforehand to introduce herself and talk with me. it always seems strange when you go to massage therapy and you don't know who the person is. this was personal care and attentiveness that is unmatched! she knew the tight spots and worked out the knots and tension without inflicting pain, a difficult balance to strike. carmine would even check-in every once in a while to make sure i was comfortable, which i was b/c i didn't want to move at the end.

with all the craziness in the city that never sleeps, it is reassuring to know that there is a Spa that takes that extra care to calm all the senses from the earth-toned decor to the friendly caring smile of the staff. i just hope that as more people hear about the Spa at Hilton that they continue this same uncompromising personal touch. take me back!

Pros: calm atmosphere, clean facilities, convenient

Cons: beverage choice

My intro session was unbelievable! They center the program around the Core Workout and I could barely feel it!

Posted 05/14/06

I really loved training with Will. He was really helping me achieve my goals and we got along really well. He was awesome.

Posted 05/04/06

David is down to earth, fun to chat and not at all intimidating. He walks me through every minute of my workout in an encouraging but firm manner. His explanations are great and he works with me to achieve my personal goals. I highly recommend David to anyone, particularly professional people who need flexibility in scheduling and a trainer who will tailor an exercise program to your particular needs.

I had this really good Pilates instructor that taught me things that were totally new to me.
I really enjoyed the personalized service. I also love the fact that I can switch between Yoga, personal training and Pilates instructors.

Pros: Personalized, Variety, One on one

Posted 01/14/05

My Wife and I love their personal yoga instrustors. that come to our home. Before we couldn't get to the gym for yoga classes in time now we just call Method Fitness and they will send a Yoga Instructor to teach us yoga anytime..

Pros: Good technique, Relaxing

Posted 01/14/05

I've been to other trainers in the past but these guys really knew what they were doing...

Pros: Work out, Innovative, experienced

Posted 01/14/05

I found method fitness to be invigorating. The trainer that I worked with greatly enhanced my technique. He spurred me on to achieving my goals. My motivation to going to the gym has greatly increased, I now go four times a week.

Posted 01/07/05

Great trainers I can see ythe results in a short period of time!

Pros: Varied, Professional

Posted 01/03/05

I have to say that this program was not boring like most other programs that I have done. There were varied exercises each day of te week so I never got bored with the same routine. Also the exercises were things that I had never done before.

I could see results in a short period of time. I would recomend this program to anybody looking to get lean and strong...

Pros: Private, Good results, varied

Posted 01/01/05

The work-out with the personal trainer was excellent. He gave alot of good direction. I was tiring of my everyday routine and it was refreshing to learn a revolutionary groove that gave me the motivation and enthusiasm to reach my goals. I would recommend the staff of Method Fitness to anyone who's serious about getting results under safe instructions.

Pros: one-on-one, affordable, effective

Posted 11/04/04

I have tried a few personal trainers in the past, and from what i can say is that, this is the one I am most pleased with. I am getting the personal training and attention to detail that I am paying for. Trust me you will not be disappointed in the real results that you will get our of the training.

Pros: Knowledgable trainer, good results, great value

Posted 10/31/04

Trainers I've worked with previously (at every price range) would put me on a machine and count (I can do that myself). Now Im watched carefully for form, pushed without it feeling like boot camp (though Im sure theyll do that if you want!), and receive very positive/enthusiastic feedback from a very knowledgeable, personable trainer who really worked with me on how I wanted to approach my workouts. The focus on core-training and nutrition is very balanced, and is something I can do at the gym/home/on the road. I hadnt exercised in years, so Im amazed with what weve accomplished in so short a period of time. For the first time, I feel like this is a workout I can and will want to do for the long-term. It may seem expensive, but broken down per session its the same price Ive paid for a trainer at any good gym.

Pros: excellent trainer, solid, fast results, good value
