The Fort NYC

I've been coming to The Fort since 2018 and have trained at all the locations many times, but have spent almost the last two years now doing the majority of my training at the Upper East Side location and there's so much to love. The programming is always thoughtful and top notch, the equipment is excellent, and the coaches are all very qualified. You'll see the same ones each time and because of the small group training format, you'll likely train with many of the same members consistently too. You're able to thrive with fellow training partners with assurances a coach is there to help you get the best out of your abilities. The workouts aren't easy, but they're not supposed to be. And that's the way I personally like them.

I've been going to The Fort for 2 years now and absolutely love it. I had never lifted weights in any real way before, and was intimidated to start, but The Fort made it the most welcoming and comfortable environment to learn. I've never looked back! The coaches are supportive, motivating, and take the time to tailor each part of the workout to your personal needs and goals. It's equivalent to personal training, but more fun with a community. Currently through my pregnancy, The Fort has kept me feeling good and strong. I look forward to every session and it's always my favorite hour of the day :)

If you're looking for a new gym, The Fort is the place to be. With class sizes capped at 4 people, you receive personal training and coaching that accommodates your individual fitness level and needs. The coaches are not only knowledgeable but also incredibly motivating, pushing you to reach your goals while creating a supportive atmosphere. Every program feels new and energizing, making it easy to stay committed and engaged. Overall, The Fort combines personalized coaching, a community vibe, and dynamic workouts and is the ideal gym for me. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about The Fort. Their small group training model (no more than four people per session) is the perfect balance between personal training and group fitness, offering both personalized attention and community. The coaches are outstanding, and push me to new levels while prioritizing compromising safety and form. I have a few old injuries, and coaches are quick to offer modifications to accommodate me. The workouts are progressive, so I can see improvement, but vary enough that I don't get bored. The workouts are tough, but The Fort never feels intimidating thanks to the supportive coaches and community. I always leave feeling stronger, more confident, and in a better mood than I did when I walked in.

The Fort is hands down the best gym I have ever been to. Classes of 4 or fewer people, trainers who are professional and nice and truly care about the clients, and equipment that is clean and safe. I was a beginner when it came to lifting weights and feel more confident because of The Fort UES. It has such a strong community and I truly look forward to going to The Fort, something I’ve never said about any type of workout before!!
