Hands down, the best gym ever! The owners and every single coach there is very passionate and extremely good at what they do. They are all very accessible for any questions you may have. Their feedback for you is super specific and helpful! The coaches also do the right level of nudging and teach you the right techniques for you to make progress. I went from 15 lb dumbell shoulder press to eventually 50lb barbell shoulder press in 4 weeks (one of the several such examples I can give about their classes and coaches). The energy in every class is so contagious. I have been able to hit some personal bests and do some exercises that I have never imagined doing just in the last year or so. I should also say that I started at Trooper as a complete beginner for the type of training they offer and saw improvements week over week on all aspects of my training. The progress itself boosts your confidence and motivates you to set better goals for yourself. I am a very happy customer! Check out their classes, I am sure you will sign-up!

I can’t recommend Trooper Fitness enough. Cleanliness is on par, equipment is all there, and the trainers (troopers) are super knowledgeable. The knowledge of the trainers is what originally kept me coming back to the classes; they can spot where your form needs improvement and really tailor the workouts to you, even in a fully booked class. What I love most is the ATMOSPHERE. Definitely a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. I come from doing yoga and Pilates, which is absolutely not similar to Metcon and deadlifting, but I never felt discouraged or judged. If you’re thinking of coming to trooper JUST DO IT. I could go on and on lol, highly recommend!

I discovered Trooper Fitness just about one month ago and I am so grateful I did because it is exactly the community and programming I’ve been looking for. Every single coach is so amazing and knowledgeable and truly pushes you to perform your best. It is very rare to find a gym as legit as this, and to have coaches that so evidently care about helping you become your best. The programming is intense, but it is also so engaging and fun. Thanks to this awesome group of athletes, I look forward to working out again, and I can’t wait to see where this training will take me.

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.

Incredible Gym, incredible coaches, incredible programming. If you show up consistently at Trooper, results come forth. At Trooper you are never alone, the coaches and community are here to lift you up and make you achieve your goals. What else can I say? I freaking love this Gym!

Why have I been attending classes at Trooper for more than a year now? Even when there are 10 people in the room, the coaches pay great attention to the individual needs of the class participants. Thus Troopers develop greater confidence with the various lifts, and in turn greater strength and muscle tone. Troopers form a rather cohesive community, and that encourages you to keep coming, which also helps you make progress. (Like Cheers, if you understand dated TV references) But it's not clique-y, and people have a lot of fun while supporting one another.. Troopers are a diverse lot, all different body types, and at different stages on their journeys. So you'll fit whether you're using 15 lb dumbbells for your shoulder press or racking 100 lbs onto the barbell. The admin staff are attentive, the space is well-decorated and neat. In summary, it's a great, friendly, but serious gym. Well worth the membership fee.

I've been going to Trooper for over 1.5 years now. I've gone to over 230 sessions -- which in and of itself is a HUGE testament to the power and support of the Trooper fitness staff and community. Prior to coming to Trooper I had never been successful in having a long-term engagement with any gym or fitness program. I'd dabbled in running here and there, but never really saw the results and never felt like I was much of a "fitness person". For the most part, I felt like my body was just something that I used to carry my brain around. Coming to Trooper radically changed that. When I first joined, I was shocked by the intensity of the programs. Literally, the warm-ups alone got me feeling exhausted. But because of the support and motivation of the coaches, I stuck with it. Gradually I started to see my endurance pick-up and my strength along with it. Within a few months, I was clearly seeing the changes in my physical strength, energy, and self-perception. Now having come for over a year, Trooper is very much part of my regular daily routine and my wife says: "I work out too much." (Which would be crazy for me to imagine anyone telling me two years ago.) I can't say enough positive things about Trooper. If you're a first-timer who might be intimidated by weight training or who has had bad experiences in other gyms (I for one have tried cross-fit and other boutique gyms in the city and often been burned) -- you'll find the Trooper coaches and community to be super supportive. Every class *feels* like a small one and you truly get personalized attention. If you're an experienced lifter or someone who is looking for a challenge, the coaches will find ways to push you. I've never once seen or heard anyone come out of a Trooper class and shrug it off. Every class pushes you to get to the next level. Seriously. Give it a try! You won't regret it.

Trooper isn't just a gym. It's a community. Skip boring workouts on your own. Come work out at Trooper where you get a coach that leads the workout and helps you with your goals, and teammates that push and motivate you. And if that's not awesome enough, we're all friends and do things outside of the gym!

Trooper fitness has allowed me to unlock another level of myself I never thought was there! In 2019, with their support, I lost 40 pounds before my wedding and hit my target weight loss goal! But it wasn’t just about losing weight, my journey became about discipline, determination, the satisfaction in accomplishing a challenge that for years I never thought I could do. Trooper Fitness inspires. And not in the drill sergeant yelly kind of way to make sure you do 100 push-ups lol but they push you. Instill a sense of willingness in you. “I know you can do this, YOU know you can do this!” Words of JRo resounding in my head! Accountability. Trooper Fitness coaches are mere instruments on your fitness journey. They show you that everything you need to reach your goals is in you! Do the work. And you do it happily because you have them to push you to success! Ultimately, it’s YOU who pays for the classes, so why not take advantage of that commitment you make and all they have to offer?! The most special thing about Trooper Fitness is that you gain a family when you join! There’s so much love in this community it makes it hard to leave them! I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Trooper fitness is a lifestyle. Words can’t describe the dedication and passion that each of the coaches embody every time you’re in their presence. It’s beyond the physical with Trooper they focus on the individuals mental that will allow them to build the physical. It’s honestly a family environment that Prince and Jen have created and it’s a blessing to be apart of. I recommend that if you are looking for some place to come and work out and get your money worth Trooper Fitness is the place, I haven’t experienced a better gym environment that makes me keep coming back beaten after beaten. Equinox, Planet Fitness, NYSC none of these gyms come in close to Trooper.

This is easily the best gym in the Midtown East area. I was looking to get back into working out before my wedding and all I can say is WOW. I have been doing personal training with Jen for the last year and my body has completely transformed. I have lost 15lbs+ and have increased my muscle definition like never before. I have taken a few of the classes as well --- very difficult but feel great after finishing! If you are looking to get fit, this is absolutely the place for you!

I love supporting Trooper Fitness!! The coaches have such a positive and encouraging approach, the workouts are challenging and fun, and they’ve made me stronger, not just physically but mentally too. And I rely on their virtual workouts as well, since I’m not located in NYC, and I’ve never found a better virtual workout! The coaches are wonderful, kind people, and amazing motivators. I cannot recommend them enough!!

Upon relocating to NYC, I was in search of a phenomenal gym. After trying multiple gyms, a friend told me about Trooper Fitness. From Day 1; I was not only throughly impressed by the variety of classes, the staff made me feel like family! Each of the coaches takes their time to demonstrate the movements, and pays close attention to your form. This was critical for me due to prior injuries and the coaches were extremely attentive, even providing modifications to mitigate injury recurrence. They bring positive energy and encourage you every step of the way! If you too are in search of a gym that treats you like family, motivates and encourages you every step of the way; then look no further than Trooper Fitness. I promise you won’t be disappointed and will make Trooper Fitness your permanent home!

I've been taking both virtual and indoor classes at Trooper Fitness during the pandemic and it's been an amazing experience. Every coach is extremely passionate about helping the team and motivates the class during the entire workout. At the beginning of the pandemic I wasn't sure how good of a workout I could get doing a virtual class, but boy was I wrong. I leave each class (both virtual and indoor) knowing that I pushed myself to the limit with the support of the coaches and amazing Trooper community! If you're looking for a great workout with awesome coaches, Trooper is the way to go!!

I've trained at Trooper Fitness a number of times and began utilizing the virtual workouts when the pandemic started. I have to say with each workout I'm pushed out of my comfort zones in a good way. I feel like I can conquer the world and want more! Trooper Kaitlin is a BAWSE, I always get the best burn. The staff is always helpful and full of motivation, I found it perfect for early morning or after work.

Trooper Fitness is certainly the best gym in the city. Each coach has his/her own style and will push you to make progress and attain your goals. All of them have a contagious energy and it's been every single time a pleasure to workout in such a friendly atmosphere. I literally felt boosted, motivated, and energized after each session! Really grateful to be a trooper and to bolster my physical and mental wellbeing at Trooper Fitness!

I absolutely love Trooper Fitness. When I started at Trooper 5 months ago, my only goal was to get in better physical shape. I remember one of my first classes where Prince said something along the lines of this isn't just about physical health, it's about mental perseverance. I definitely rolled my eyes thinking, I'm just here to work out. Prince was 1000% right though. Not only have I gotten physically stronger, my mental health has improved. I look forward to my morning workouts and although I'm dying all throughout, I feel amazing after. There virtual classes are perfect for someone like me who has so much going on. Being able to still dedicate time to do this for myself makes all the difference. I can't say enough about Trooper Fitness but in short, their classes are just the right amount of challenging, they're affordable and you truly become part of a community.

I relocated back to NYC in February and had to come back home to Trooper Fitness! We have a bigger and brighter location on the 2nd floor that is amazing. Trooper offers small group classes where you can focus on specific body areas like upper or lower body or if you need to increase endurance or hit full body they got that too. If you never stepped in a gym or strength trained it doesn’t matter because Trooper Coaches are there helping you through each movement, figuring out what weight works best for you, giving more weight to the tenure members even though we didn’t ask and somehow we are able to lift it with the help of Trooper magic. Trooper is different than any gym because we truly are a supportive community of each other. We plan our workouts around each other’s schedules so we can not only workout but cheer each other on when we hit our milestones. I built really great friendships that helped me through really tough times in my life and I will always be grateful for my Trooper family! It doesn’t matter what your fitness level is (if you can hold a small car over your head or if climbing subway stairs takes your breath away) this is the gym to try! If you’re nervous and need a friend to join you in your first class, let them know Stacie invited you and I’ll workout with you. WE GOT YOU!!!

Trooper is the opposite of the big-box gyms. It is a class-style gym, with each coach being inviting and super friendly to everyone taking their respective class. They have an excellent program and teach new/challenging lifts that hit every muscle group. They also offer more full-body workouts like HIIT-style classes. Both are an hour long, and everyone can go at their own pace. They push you if you want to be pushed and support you if you are struggling. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

Trooper Fitness stands out as a unique gym, boasting an exceptional atmosphere and energy. Its programs are meticulously organized, making each workout enjoyable yet challenging, and effectively bringing out the best in every athlete. As a martial arts gym owner, I appreciate the importance of supporting fellow entrepreneurs like Prince, the owner of Trooper Fitness. I firmly believe that every coach benefits from having a coach such as him and for me, Trooper Fitness fulfills that essential role.

Trooper Fitness is more than just a gym—it's a transformative experience! My journey from nervous beginner to confident and strong is incredible, and it's a testament to the supportive and empowering environment that Trooper provides.My first class with Prince set the tone for my experience, with his attentive support and willingness to modify exercises to suit your needs. This level of personalized attention is invaluable, especially for newcomers who may feel unsure or intimidated.The dedication of the coaches to your progress is remarkable, pushing you to challenge yourself. With each session, as I became stronger, the coaches pushed me further, constantly challenging me to push past my perceived limits. Their investment in my progress is obvious, with words of encouragement like "you can do more, I believe in you" and always being there to help me get to more. My favorite classes are Bench with Prince, pull-ups with Kai, and deadlifts with Erica. Trooper has an incredible range of diverse workout classes to meet everyone's goals. The coaches' unwavering support and motivation are matched only by the intensity of the workouts themselves. Despite the group setting, it feels as though each session is tailored to my individual needs, with the coaches keeping a watchful eye on everyone's form. Trooper has also had an impact on my relationship with food. Before trooper I had guilt and fear surrounding food. Just after a few months at trooper I've had a mindset shift. Now, I see food as fuel, nourishing my body to become stronger and more capable with each workout and to be able to keep up with my amazing and very strong peers at trooper. The true magic of trooper really lies in the community that the trooper team has built. From fellow class goers to the entire team, everyone here is invested in each other's growth and success. As a beginner, I've never felt judged or inadequate—on the contrary, I've been met with nothing but encouragement and support from my peers. Trooper isn't just about physical exercise, it's about personal growth, empowerment, and camaradie. A special shoutout to Kai, Prince, Erica, Jen, and Chris for helping me with my fitness journey!

I was very much a gym newbie when I first started at Trooper and a little intimidated by joining a gym like this but the community is absolutely incredible. The trainers are very down to earth and ready to help everyone reach their goals regardless of where they are in their journeys. I was hooked after just a few classes and haven’t looked back - this place keeps me motivated to keep getting stronger.

Trooper Fitness is great! I joined after trying out few other fitness facilities in the area and it's hands down the best facility that offers group fitness and strength training. I find my fitness journey is more sustainable because of the encouraging coaches. The strength and conditioning classes are supper effective and makes you sweat every single workout. It was here where I reached my fitness goal of losing weight and becoming stronger.

Incredible. My favorite gym in the city. And it will be yours too. Say goodbye to waiting in the gym for a squat rack to open. Ditch that weird feeling you get not knowing what exercises to do. Stop following fad instagram workouts and unqualified trainers. Start to get strong(er) by ditching all of that b.s. and going to Trooper. I originally came to Trooper back in 2017/2018 and loved it, During those years i was in the best shape of my life! During my 5 year gap I've done everything in-between, from Peloton to Beach Body and honestly nothing compares to the quality of workouts you receive when you step into Trooper! Don't be intimidated or think this is just a place where you have to lift crazy heavy weight to enter, its not. The classes are small enough for the coaches to keep an eye on each participant and they help you along the way with form and modifications. I have also never met a negative person in class. Everyone is there to get better! Everyone works as a team, you can be at the same squat rack with someone pulling or pushing more weight than you and feel no egos or judgement. Everyone just helps reset the bar for you when its your turn. This is the most motivational space I've ever been in! They also offer bootcamp, metcon and cardiocon classes. If you're looking for a true a$$ kicking with the BEST trainers in NYC, sign up!

Trooper Fitness is the best gym in NYC. I used to shy away from lifting weights because I felt weak and incompetent but from the moment I stepped into Trooper, I felt welcome and supported. One of my favorite things is people of all ages, backgrounds, strength levels come together to push ourselves, get stronger, both physically and mentally. The programming at Trooper is consistent. The coaches are knowledgeable, considerate but push me out of my comfort zone. I am so grateful for such a wonderful community. My quality of life has improved in more ways than one since joining the Trooper community. I am stronger, happier, more content, and more resilient. Thank you Trooper fitness!! #AllWeKnowIsGo

You will always have a great workout session when you come to Trooper. I’ve been consistently going 2 to 3 times a week over the past 1.5 years (which is the longest I’ve ever stuck around at any fitness studio). I keep coming back because: 1. The coaches know how to push me to do my best 2. I’ve seen real progress in my strength 3. The infectious energy from my fellow Troopers I highly recommend everyone give Trooper a try at least once!

Started going to trooper fitness (TF) in March 2022!!! My goal going in was to get stronger and embrace working out in a class setting that matches my energy. I am so thankful I found TF, it's the best experience of my life! The coaches are AMAZING, they will push you out of your comfort zone, bring strength out of you that you did not know existed and modify the exercise to meet your personal fitness level. The community/ TF members are great as well, we encourage each other in class to push through. Overall great vibe and energy! I love this community, do not overthink it give it try your body will thank you later. Remember if it's gets challenging do not give up, the coach will ALWAYS support you!!

take your fitness to the next level! independently owned by a husband and wife team, so they’ve built a community that’s supportive and every trainer knows your name. if you want to do WEIGHT LIFTING, grow your muscles, and do it in a loud environment that pushes you, this is a great place!! Fitness level of most people there is pretty high but the classes are small (5-10 ppl) and all levels are welcome.

I can 100% recommend Trooper Virtual and in-person classes for anyone who is interested in improving their fitness. I have been going to Trooper since 2018 and keep coming back because of: 1) my results, 2) the expert coaches, and 3) the workouts. My experience in the gym has seamlessly transitioned into the Trooper Virtual arena. Trooper Virtual is personalized and boutique and is extremely different from the workouts out there on youtube or on the various subscriptions services. The workouts are different every single class, which keeps them interesting and challenging. The Trooper Coaches take the time to correct your form, learn your name and make sure that you are pushing yourself to the best of your ability - wherever you are in your fitness journey. The Coaches also take time to customize the moves and create workarounds (on the fly!) if you have an injury or you don't have a piece of equipment. (I have been doing just fine with my whiskey bottles here at home for certain moves.) Lastly the motivation of the coaches provides something special. No, we are not in the gym giving high fives or adding on extra plates, but having a Trooper Coach there motivating me for just 30 more seconds or 3 more reps allows me to continue to improve. This is something that I cannot get from a recorded workout. I primarily do live classes and I recommend Trooper to anyone.

Trooper Fitness is by far the best gym, period. If you are a person who likes to work out in groups and full of positive energy, this is the gym for you. If you enjoy a challenge and working with coaches to perfect your fitness skills, this is the gym for you. Lastly, if you want to feel results, both mentally and physically, this is the gym for you! I’ll never go back to a traditional gym ever again! Sign up for a free class asap and see for yourself!

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.

Trooper fitness is truly one of the best gym/group classes in the city. All the coaches are very personable and great at what they do. The classes are very energetic and inclusive no matter where you are in your training. I think that is what makes Trooper/all the coaches different from other gyms. They genuinely take the time to help whether you are a newbie or an expert. The coaches sincerely push you the right amount to get the best out of that hour or 2 you are with them. I would highly recommend Trooper fitness no matter what part of your training journey you are at. I know I was hesitant at first but once I started, now I can’t stop. It is time to take your fitness to the next level and Trooper is where it is at.

As a true beginner who does not know their way around a gym, I had a great experience at Trooper Fitness. They have encouraging coaches, a welcoming atmosphere and challenging workouts. Convenient midtown location makes it easy to work through some post-work frustration before heading home.

I’ve been going to Trooper Fitness for 8 years and they have the best strength training and HIIT classes! The classes are challenging but the instructors are motivating and you feel very accomplished after class. I’ve also done personal training and got to my weight and body fat targets. The community is amazing and everyone is so encouraging!
