Essential Fitness NYC

Been working with Scott for over a year. I’ve improved my strength and mobility and feel stronger and better than I ever have. I can’t recommend him enough.

I’ve been working with Matt and Scott for about 3 months now and I can say I’m kinda obsessed! :) I originally wanted to work with them so they could help with my movement patterns and mobility as some of my form was hindering my gym performance. Matt and Scott both have paid super close attention to my form and how EVERYTHING is connected. It’s cool because maybe one time I’m like «my back is hurting» on a set of kettlebell swings, and they make stop and do a movement that focuses on my core or inner thighs, etc. for a few minutes. When I go back to swinging, my back doesn’t hurt. These guys are super smart. They understand how the body works and how it’s all connected… even the signals our movements are giving our brain and how we can correct them! (Most people don’t even know to know that… but these guys are LEGIT!) I feel confident when I go to their class. These guys are super smart and laid back. They practice what they preach. The classes are fun and are small so you get really great and personal feedback. My squats are definitely improving and although I do still love powerlifting, I continue to make kettlebells a crucial aspect of my training.
I would DEF RECOMMEND for ANYONE to come see Matt and Scott. Working with Kettlebells and the functional movement patterns WILL help you move and FEEL better– not to mention get stronger. Pretty sure no one can argue there :)

Just finished a class at Essential Fitness NYC. I have never sweat so much as I do in their classes. Strong focus on movement, lots of kettlebell training. All their classes are small (they probably can only do a max of 10 – 12 folks). But, even with the small size, they have 2 trainers for every class I’ve been to. That means while one is leading, the other is circulating and correcting position, movement, etc. I really like the personalization, and the workout.
