Momentum Fitness

Marco and Jason are two of the most knowledgeable and personable people I’ve dealt with at a boutique fitness studio. They are attentive, intelligent, and really care about each individual’s health and wellbeing. Would recommend them and this studio to anyone.

I’ve been taking weekend group classes at Momentum Fitness for about a year — so far I’ve tried Bodyweight Bootcamp, TACFIT, and Kettlebell Brunch. I’ve never had a bad experience. All of the trainers are patient and teach the exercises well, and they’re careful to work around any injuries the participants have. The weekly sessions vary and are always challenging. They also limit the amount of people so it never feels crowded. I plan to keep taking classes and would recommend them to anyone.

Grace’s class is incredible! It’s one of the only classes in the city where I feel completely safe while being challenged to the max. She’s a great coach and really knows her stuff. There’s always something new to learn and her cues make difficult movements seem achievable. I can’t recommend it enough, and am super jazzed about training with her soon!

I have attended the first training session and also many of the LeBarre classes and I have had a great experience with the instructors. The instructors give a lot of advice and insight on form and exercise. They have very outgoing and welcoming personalities and I always enjoy the workouts. I have attended LeBarre classes in the past and none have been satisfying due to their slow pace. However, at Momentum, the LeBarre class is upbeat as well as challenging and made me want to return! Jess is an awesome LeBarre instructor and makes you feel very comfortable no matter your level! Marco is very credible and knowledgeable about personal training and has a lot knowledge to offer on how to work yourself as well as to taking care of your body!

I have been working with Marco for about a year now and cannot say enough wonderful things. I initially started training privately in NYC to build upon the kettlebell/​body weight exercises that I had learned in LA in an effort to stay on top of things as I traveled back and forth. What I have gained is a ton of strength and mobility from the sessions that Marco designs around my strengths, weaknesses, and goals. No two sessions are ever the same, and there is nothing better than seeing progress each and every week. Marco is encouraging, friendly and one of the most accomodating people I know. Every session with him– though not easy– pushes me closer towards a healthy body, mind, and spirit. I highly recommend Momentum Fitness!

I have been training with Jason outside of this gym for over a year. Having worked with trainers on and off for the past 10+ years at various private & public gyms around the city, I can attest that Jason is one of the best you will ever encounter. To echo another reviewer, he’s a true professional, dedicated to his craft and to also to advancing his knowledge of fitness. He is extremely knowledgeable about human anatomy & physiology – he is a stickler for proper alignment and building a strong core. He’s also really nice and fun to work with. Each session, Jason comes prepared with a fitness plan that builds upon previous sessions and my current situation.
*Pre & Post Natal/​Pregnancy– I started training with Jason shortly after I found out I was pregnant. I was very impressed with his background in pre natal training and his overall knowledge of the stages that a woman moves through during a pregnancy. From cleverly asking questions to determine my shortness of breath, to reminding me to do kegels (!) and asking about my doctor’s checkups and nutrition, he went above and beyond a typical trainer’s fitness regimen.
*Sports Injuries– I sprained my pelvis at the end of my pregnancy and had an old sports related knee injury flare up. I went back to working out with Jason 6 weeks after giving birth and found it easy to work with both him and a physical therapist. He often recommended moves that the physical therapist would recommend at my next appointment. Ultimately, both of them spoke and worked in tandem so that I could quickly resolve my issues and move forward toward optimum health.
Overall, I cannot say enough good things about him and would recommend him in a heartbeat.

After several lack-​luster experiences with personal trainers, I connected with Jason — and the results were incredible! Over the course of 2013, Jason helped me meet and exceed all of my fitness goals. In addition to losing over 25 pounds, I radically increased my strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular capacity. But more importantly, Jason was able to help me develop a strong sense of body awareness and a genuine love of exercising. His careful attention to mechanics, programming, and nutrition were invaluable. Even better: he really took the time (and effort) to understand me (my goals, my limits, et cetera). He not only crafted a program to perfectly suit me, but continued to motivate and challenge me every step of the way. Unfortunately, circumstance dictated that I leave NYC. Never the less, I take with me the skills and knowledge Jason imparted. In fact, after a recent workout class, the instructor was very complimentary about my form, which is a direct result of (and testament to) Jason’s exceptional guidance.

Marco is a great personal trainer and has helped me so much. I feel that he really concentrates on the individual client’s needs and also adapts the workout plan when needs or fitness levels change. For instance, I initially worked with Marco on balance and strengthening, and added endurance and cardio along the way. He always switched up my routine so that boredom doesn’t set in. And, most importantly, he is nice and he is funny!
Thanks, Lori!!!”

Jason is the very best kind of personal trainer. Super knowledgable, very kind and makes every session fun. I was lucky to work with Jason last year and would recommend him to anyone regardless of their fitness level. He knows how to work you hard and how to work around injuries.

I couldn’t be happier with Momentum’s newest trainer, Jason. I’ve worked with Jason for almost a year now… And have been pleased every step of the way. I’m a marathoner and a triathlete and I first started training with Jason in the months before a half Ironman. I was already in decent enough shape, but I knew that I needed someone to help me get stronger and feel better about being in top race form. Jason started me off a lot slower than I would have liked, but I quickly realized that he was really just getting to know my body, my muscles and my weaknesses, so that he could properly train me… And really focus on the areas that needed the most work. He listened to me about what I wanted to get stronger but also found other areas that he knew needed help and we worked on those areas quite a bit as well. By the time the race came along, I was in much better shape to take it on. From there… I went into marathon training, and once again… Jason was there every step of the way, once again zeroing in on the new areas that I’d need to be strongest for the run. Our training changed, but it was always difficul, challenging and very beneficial. Jason has a strong knowledge of anatomy, and could always change an exercise in an instant if I was struggling with it… Or just wasn’t getting the maximum benefit that I needed to get from it. I can’t say enough about his expertise, friendliness and all around care for my well being. Case in point… I really only planned in training with him for four months, and it’s been almost a year!

I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to train with Jason, who recently joined Momentum Fitness. He has helped me get into better shape than I have been in, in 30 years. He approaches his work with a level of seriousness and professionalism that I have not encountered before with other trainers. Jason has a lot of knowledge of anatomy, and has helped me correct my form and use the right muscles for exercises that I haven’t been doing correctly for years. He pushes clients hard, but is also very careful about injuries. He creates constantly changing exercise programs which have challenged me and helped me lose close to 30 lbs, improve my posture, stamina, strength, and overall fitness. He’s also a kind, fun person, so if you are hesitant about working with a trainer, he will definitely put you at ease. Highly, highly recommend him!

Having never worked out with a personal trainer before, Marco exceeded my expectations! He always has me doing various types of workouts that I would never even think to do myself. I’ve even learned how to incorporate what he’s shown me into my own workout routine. I am no longer afraid to use weights and am confident in challenging my strength. After just a few sessions I started to see changes in my muscles tone and posture. I highly recommend him to anyone at any fitness level! I wish I had a personal trainer years ago!

Awesome trainer!
Marco is a dedicated trainer, who is detailed orient and professional.
I would highly recommend Marco as a personal trainer.
