From zero Nicks to two Nicks in one summer! If you’ve been into the gym over the last few months then you’ve definitely seen this guy running around. Meet Nick AKA Cardosa!!

Coming all the way across the country from Sacramento, California, Nick is brand new to NYC, but has been training since 2017. Having a background rooted in basketball, football and baseball eventually lead him to the weight room in his teenage years. Since then, fitness has become his passion. He is now a NASM certified personal trainer and certified Functional Anatomy/Human movement specialist through the Brookbush Institute. Whether you want to learn more about power lifting and getting stronger or you’re just hoping to move pain free, Nick has got your back!

New trainer alert! Please welcome to the team, the lovely Lori!

Lori Elliott is a NASM certified personal trainer with a 7 year background in bodybuilding and weightlifting. Originally from South Carolina, she moved to New York City two years ago. After spending much of her adolescence struggling with an unhealthy lifestyle, she set out to make a change. Through self-taught weight training she lost 40 pounds! She hopes to help others overcome their personal obstacles in order to be their best selves. With a focus on resistance training and muscle growth Lori aims to help each client reach their full potential both physically and mentally. She believes everyone is stronger than they think.

While New York has been getting back to full swing, we’ve been busy hiring a new team of awesome people. 

Meet our newest trainer Nick Trimper! Nick is NASM certified with a background primarily rooted in rockclimbing and long-distance running. Having worked in the theatre industry for 10 years, Nick decided to take his career in a healthier and more sustainable direction. His love for climbing, along with the physical and mental intricacies of the sport, is what set Nick on his journey to train hard and share his passion with others. As an athlete of two different disciplines, he offers a well rounded, no-frills approach using resistance and cardiovascular training to challenge anyone who wishes to work with him! 

Due to the new government mandates, vaccines are required for all clients. Our trainers are all fully vaccinated and we’re still limiting capacity to 3 simultaneous sessions. If you’re a current client or new and looking to try us out, please bring your vaccine card to your next session. Let’s work together to stop the spread of Covid-19!!

Thank you for being a part of our fitness family.

There are so many different types of workouts you can do. Results vary depending on body type, number of workouts per week, your nutrition, the amount of sleep you’re getting, the amount of stress in your life, your day job, etc. It can be a little trial and error to find out what types of fitness you enjoy doing and therefore can keep doing consistently. You want to find it fun! Try different classes. Try new workouts. You have to make time for it. It’s cliche for a reason but - fitness isn’t a fad, it’s a lifestyle.

Health & Safety update!

-All trainers working with clients face to face have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

-Facility capacity will still be limited to 3 simultaneous sessions.

-Masks are no longer required for vaccinated clients!

-Our facilities manager will be deep cleaning the space twice a week. Trainers will still be wiping down any mats and equipment used during session.

-Group classes will be coming back, but that date is still TBA.

-We will continue to offer virtual sessions!

Caring for yourself is the greatest gift you can give ❤️

Its time for another Flashy Friday post. Earlier this year one of our clients did something awesome! Over the course of 6 weeks Talha dropped 6% body fat!! We are so proud of how strong she is and how hard she works to accomplish her goals. Keep going Talha! You rock!
