Trooper Fitness

As a long-time member of Trooper Fitness who recently navigated two pregnancies back-to-back, I can confidently say this gym has been an essential part of my fitness journey. Whether attending classes in-person or virtually, Trooper Fitness consistently delivers exceptional strength and HIIT workouts that cater to all levels of fitness enthusiasts. four months postpartum!

Trooper Fitness is a COMMUNITY not just gym. Literally they have bottled a “Cheers” vibe in gym. I’m a “mature aged” woman and after just shy of 3 months at Trooper Fitness my lean muscle mass has increased…. Allot. I’ve invited 2 friends. Muscle strength is the holy grail and Trooper Fitness has guided my journey to reclaiming muscle strength.

ERICA!!!!!!! I swear she was hands down the reason I'm coming back for real. Her class for the first time really had me rethinking life. 1stERICA!!!!!!! I swear she was hands down the reason I'm coming back for real. Her class for the first time really had me rethinking life. 1st, I was like hmmmm this might be easy. I have done pilates and soul cycle, so lifting a little weights a BREEZE. Sykeeeee, this was a beginners intense class for glutes & quads. I did squat thrust 95lbs, I might say, and was very PROUD of myself. Noble, you are a true gem to the trooper facility from the moment you greeted me when I finished the class. I appreciate you for the tour also. The facility is located on the 2nd floor, so you ring the bell and enter the glass door, not the black door. Showers, bathrooms, and lockers are available.

I don't write many reviews, but needed to share how much Trooper Fitness means to me. I have been a member of Trooper since the beginning, now going on 9 years, and it is one of the things I value most in my life. To get the workout review out of the way--yes, they are AMAZING! I am challenged in every class, and it only makes me want to come back for more. The coaches do a great job of programming creative workouts and are super encouraging and positive. They very approachable, will work with you on your goals, and push you to your best in every class. Even after years of going to classes, I continue to see myself growing and improving. However, even more important than the workouts is the Trooper mentality and community itself. There are so many gyms and boutique fitness studios in the City, finding a place to just workout is easy. Trooper Fitness offers something unique in the diverse and tight-knit, but welcoming, community it has built. From encouraging each other in classes, to hanging out in the lobby afterwards, to getting together outside the gym, Trooper really is a second family to me and I have made my closest friendships in NY from people I have met at Trooper. Their motto "All We Know is Go" really sums up their mentality. Even in the adversity of the pandemic, the founders and coaches were on the ball in moving over to virtual workouts, and have done a great job keeping the same sense of community. Trooper has been a lifeline during this time, and the pandemic has only highlighted to me how important they are. I encourage everyone to come try a class (now online!), come to a virtual happy hour, and see what the community is all about.

I have been working with Prince for about a year now. I have never felt stronger and more confident. He personalizes my workout to help achieve my goals. He motivates me to be the strongest that I could be. I could not recommend him more.
