    The Strength club has an amazing facility, a good variety of classes, awesome coaches and a solid community. It's probably also the only place in the city where you can hang out after a workout. The owners are very friendly, actively involved in the classes and making sure all the members are happy. Overall, this is by far my favorite spot in the city.

    I'm stoked to have discovered this gym! I'm not only getting pushed harder than I ever train on my own – I am also being directed in that training in ways that are no doubt yielding superior results. I've only been a couple times so far, but Cliff's class today particularly impressed me – both for his kind encouragement and for the quality of personal attention to ensure I'm using the right weights or supports and using proper form. It feels like getting personal training, but with the fun of a small group. The cozy community feel of the place is cool. The space occupies a sweet spot of neither too fancy nor rundown. It's in this little old building that's basically just a stack of small gyms. (Climb the stairs to the 5th floor for a little warm-up – or if you get the claustrophobic willies looking at that tiny old elevator.)

    I can’t say enough about this place. If you’re looking for an amazing trainer and human being look no further than Kenny Santucci and his gym The Strength Club! He got me in such good shape. It’s a great place for one on one or group workouts! Most gyms are full of strangers but here it’s like a family/community of amazing people. You feel welcome right away! Try it out and you won’t be disappointed!

    The Strength Club has been a long time coming but well worth the wait. Kenny has always welcomed everyone as family, and now with a home of his own and the same great class. The gym is very well equipped with all of the latest equipment and makes great use of the space (much larger in person). Strength Club is my new go-to gym when I'm back in NYC.

    I have been training with Kenny, Kristie and Andrew for 3+ years and have never been in better shape. They have built an incredible community and the gym is always very clean, not to mention the killer workout everytime.

    What is the one thing people want from a gym and trainer? RESULTS. In addition to a great atmosphere, Kenny, Andrew and Kristie are tremendous coaches that care about each individual both physically and mentally. With the Strength Club you’re sure to get a variety of workouts, welcoming community, and a first class fitness experience. As a former D1 athlete, I’ve experienced many gyms and coaches and I rank Strength Club at the top.

    The Strength Club is the rare group fitness class in the city that actually delivers a strength-training workout. The people and fitness instructors are friendly and welcoming. The programming is creative yet effective. You get to lift heavy weights and do a variety of movement patterns. This place is a gem in NYC.

    Can’t say enough good things about this little gym. I’m a travel nurse with an avid fitness routine, so I check out different gyms and Studios in different cities all the time. This has quickly become one of my faves ever— it’s such a relaxed and inviting atmosphere, all who attend are so welcoming. I’ve now taken a class with three different coaches Kenny, Cliff, and Kristie - all equally as great and consistent to each other. Not only do they push you they make sure that you are always using correct form which I so appreciate having a bad [old] nurse back. And on top of it all, they do so much for the community here between fitness events and toy drives. I’m beyond impressed with this place! Thanks Strength Club NYC for providing such a great place to work out!

    I’ve been training at the Strength Club with Kent and Kristie for the past year, and have nothing but positive things to say. I’ve worked out with a number of other trainers in the past, and was generally happy with them. I didn’t understand what kind of results I could really achieve until I worked out at the Strength Club, the return on my investment (both time and money) here has been spectacular! I can’t say enough good things about Kristie and Kenny, they truly know what they are doing and how to efficiently get the best results for you!

    This place was great - just what I needed to add to my workout regiment!! I am still feeling the after effects of the strength training bootcamp work out a week ago!

    I have been coming to the Strength Club for over a year and a half. I commute from NJ twice a week because of the amazing workout, unstoppable mindset, and encouraging community. My background in fitness was a limited scope focusing only on running. Just over a year ago I added the additional strength component and since then I have PRd in my marathon and half marathon. I still consider myself a novice gym goer but am encouraged by my trainer and other around me 100% of the time. They philanthropically are involved in a multitude of facets to help NYC and beyond. I live my life hoping to crush mediocrity and am so happy I found a place who welcomes me with open arms and looks to do the same.

    This is the best gym in NYC! Kenny is an amazing trainer who motivates you while working at your pace. He is focused on proper movement while addressing any areas of pain or discomfort. The whole energy at The Strength Club is so positive and encouraging that I look forward to my workouts. Such a refreshing change of pace from most other gyms.

    I was in NYC on vacation and all I could think about was the amazing pizza here. At the same time I wanted to make sure that my week here didn’t set me too far back in my workouts. The Strength Club NYC was recommended by a friend and I am so glad I came! I did two classes one with Kristie and one with Danielle. Both coaches absolutely crushed me! I thought I was in good shape until they destroyed my muscles. What a workout! Lots of Super sets, tons of equipment and they keep you moving. The group of people you end up working out with are all highly motivating. It’s like having a bunch of workout partners at once. I highly recommend getting a workout in here. Met Kenny, he’s awesome! He built something incredible. 100% try out the workout! Add this to your list of places you have to visit in NYC, earn that slice of pizza!

    Kenny and his team are the absolute best trainers you will ever find in New York. I started working out with him 3 years ago, and I could not be any happier with the results. He always pushes you, challenges you, motivates you to be the best that you can be. Not only to look great on the outside but to also feel amazing on the inside- mentally. If you’re looking to make great changes in your life, mentally and physically, the strength club is where you have got to be ♥️ I promise you!

  • 5/5 Ashley S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the best training/workout experience I’ve had so far! There is a great group of people and the workouts are tailored to meet all needs and levels. Highly recommend!

    In a universe of countless trainers and fitness influencers, The Strength Club stands apart. Their dedication to their clients is apparent the second you walk through the door. You are never rushed. They take time to actually make sure you’re not just working out but working out correctly.

  • 5/5 Elisa D. 10 months ago on Google
    I fly to New York City for one week out of every month to work with Kenny Santucci at The Strength Club. The Strength Club is a community of like minded people who just want to get better and imrove in all areas of life. The trainers and members are friendly and motivate one another. Kenny has helped me shed over 35 lbs with his philosophy, “no substitute for strength.” He is brutally honest because he really cares about his clients. He says the things you need to hear that no one else will tell you. The classes and private training sessions are tough, but fun. If you are in the New York City area, give this gym a shot, it will be the best money you ever spent!

    I am thoroughly impressed with my experience at Strength Club NYC. The facility is top-notch, featuring a diverse range of high-quality equipment, classes, and Coaches that cater to all and various workout preferences. The Coaches and Staff are not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, creating a welcoming and encouraging atmosphere. They are world class Trainers! The cleanliness standards are exceptional, and I appreciate the gym’s commitment to maintaining a hygienic environment. From well-kept private bathrooms and private shower to the regularly sanitized equipment, it’s evident that they prioritize member satisfaction. Overall, my time at the gym has been consistently amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a professional and fun fitness experience.

    This is by far the best private training gym in New York City. Kenny is an expert In all things health and fitness and really bring a holistic approach to every single client. There is a great sense of community and camaraderie. Most of all he’s incredibly experienced and well-versed and has more certifications than any other trainer New York. The methodology is extraordinarily strategic in building strength and pursuing longevity. If you want to get in shape look great but also be incredibly healthy and get personalized attention this is the only place to go.

    As a lifelong chubby girl, I always felt so intimidated and clueless at the gym.I'm so grateful I found The Strength Club - it has changed my life!! I'm stronger and leaner than I have ever been. I've belonged to Equinox, Blink and done every boutique fitness class but never really felt comfortable in these settings. This gym has an amazing leadership team that has the expertise, passion and patience to teach me proper strength training. Kenny and Kristie took it slow, really helped me learn how to move, and gradually challenged me to do more. Their constant attention and feedback in group classes and 1:1 training has kept me motivated and helped me continue to improve. And the community they've developed is so welcoming! The classes always include incredible people who inspire me to grow stronger and challenge myself further. From day one, I've never felt intimidated and truly feel the support of the community cheering me on. This is the perfect gym for fitness enthusiasts and newbies alike. Can't recommend it enough!

    My 2 kids and I have been going to The Strength Club for about a year now. They have not only transformed all of our bodies, but seriously improved our self confidence and over all health. Kenny, Kristie and all the trainers are top notch. I look forward to coming here every time.

  • 5/5 Sara K. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    II have been doing CrossFit-style workouts since 2015. I’ve bounced around all the gyms in NYC, but I genuinely found my home here. After the pandemic, I was down and out, out of shape, and embarrassed to walk into any gym, let alone one that might have people I knew. Strength Club literally rebuilt me. They never made me feel anything other than welcome and strong. They cared enough about me (and still do) to make sure I was coming in for workouts and worked with me to get the pounds down and my health back in check. They were a beacon of light for me and oftentimes the only part of my day that made me smile, feel joy, and optimistic. The workouts are strength-based (except conditioning days), so you don't need to worry about burpees - how fast everyone else is going, or what shape they are in. Their merch is sick as hell, and the community they've built is full of the most amazing people. Behind Kenny’s jokes and AC/DC is someone entirely dedicated to helping people. Kristie may not be the loudest person in the room, but her lower body days will leave a lasting impression. I will forever feel indebted to Kenny and Kristie. They will always have my utmost loyalty. Go to this gym even if you aren’t feeling your most confident. I promise you'll walk out with a dash of hope and a deep desire to come back.

    I can’t say enough good things about The Strength Club. I started working out there a year ago after having my son, and Kristie has completely transformed my body. The atmosphere is fun and motivating, and I look forward to my sessions during the week. The Strength Club has made me fall in love with lifting weights and feeling strong.

    The Strength Club is best gym in NYC! The trainers are truly top notch and some of the best, and the facility and equipment are fantastic. The programing of the workouts are great as well. I highly recommend it if you live in NYC or are visiting.

    Strength Club is a great environment for whatever your fitness needs are! Whether individual or group work you feel at home. Trainers are great and willing to give you feedback details throughout, boxing with Julian worth a try!

  • 5/5 Matthew Lemle A. 1 month ago on Google • 1 review New
    I love this gym so much! The classes are super active and always kick my butt in the best way. All of the trainers are incredibly supportive and ridiculously talented, and get the best out of their students. And the people who come to the classes are all so nice!!

    I went for a morning class and had a great balance of hard work and good vibes. I will be going back!

  • 5/5 Jaidree B. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    Easily the best private training gym in the city. The classes are fun and high energy with knowledgeable instructors, atmosphere is welcoming, and the community is unlike anything I’ve experienced anywhere else. Not to mention, you’re gonna get results. I’ve been training here for 2+ years and, no exaggeration, The Strength Club changed my life. I look and feel better now in my 30s than I did in my 20s. Kenny’s knowledge, patience, support, and firm guidance have pushed me to achieve things I genuinely did not think were possible for “someone like me.” I’ve always been the “curvy girl” and never thought of myself as particularly athletic. The weight room used to intimidate the hell out of me. Now it’s one of my favorite places in the world because of how much I’ve learned from Kenny, and because of the confidence he’s helped instill in me. The strength you gain in the gym really does translate to confidence and strength outside of the gym. That’s especially true if you have real expert guidance and community support, and that combination is really hard to find. I’ve tried just about every fancy group fitness class in this city - spinning, kickboxing, HIIT, dance cardio, yoga - you name it. Nothing, literally NOTHING has changed my body and my mindset about fitness, and improved my own estimation of what I’m capable of, as dramatically as training at The Strength Club. Every time I’ve showed up at The Strength Club, it’s consistently been exactly what I needed that day and my day has been better as a result. The commitment to excellence, cleanliness, and great equipment makes it a great place to train for any fitness level, and the welcoming atmosphere and attentive guidance is particularly friendly to newcomers. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
