This gym have machines that you won’t find anywhere else. Plus everyone is very friendly. It’s worth the investment!

Equipment might look familiar, but it’s made to order with custom movements, which helps target muscles in ways other gyms can not. Maik & the trainers are knowledgeable and friendly offering good vibes and experience for all levels. More...

I love training with Maik. He is fantastic. First time I walked in he told me my shoulders are too high which means I have a weak back so we worked on this. It helped me a lot with the neck pain I used to get. I’m getting stronger and also more muscle defind. What I like especially about training with Maik is that he has a very scientific approach to training. He’s an absolute expert when it comes to machines (which he designed himself) and also the connection of training and nutrition. I have a friend who also started recently and is also very happy with the studio and its trainers. More...

I’m 64, trying to get in the best possible shape for my upcoming retirement next year. Maik and his team apply decades of experience along with science backed methods. I’m 100% confident that I have the motivation and discipline to achieve my goals! They gently yet resolutely have gotten me to use their equipment in proper form and the results are amazing. They assist with all aspects of transformation including the psychological challenges. I’m sure you will feel the same after training here!! More...

The highest bar for personal training. The most cutting edge equipment, research and science. I’ve had my best and most transformative results here

This gym has been a complete game-changer for me. After a few months of training, I’ve not only noticeably transformed my physique but have also achieved a much deeper understanding of strength training and how to optimize my personal fitness. As someone who had been lifting for years but wasn’t seeing much progress, Alex guided me through an individualized program that completely transformed my understanding of technique, nutrition, and recovery. I was amazed at how quickly my effort, combined with his education, started to translate into real results. On top of the training, the gym has the best atmosphere and equipment of any I’ve ever been to. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to support you, whether you’re a beginner or getting stage-ready. If you want to realize your most ambitious fitness goals and have fun while doing it, this is the place to be. Thank you, Maik and team! More...

I joined Maik's gym about two months ago and have been working with Alex. I have had a wonderful experience that has exceeded my expectations. Prior to working with Alex, I was weight lifting but not seeing improvements in my strength or changes in my body. I told Alex my goals and he set me up with a workout and nutrition program. Since working with him, I have been able to lose weight at a steady rate and have gotten stronger in all my lifts. Alex is an amazing personal trainer who is in tune with his client's needs and lifestyle. He offers a lot of support outside of the gym, which makes all the difference when it comes to sticking to a program. He has held me accountable in a realistic and gentle way and is helping me enjoy fitness and transform my body. I'm really glad I found Maik's gym! More...

Superior personal training experience from an expert. Maik has a wide and diverse range of training knowledge that allows him to accommodate and adapt a workout for where you are at and what will best benefit you. He squeezed me in his schedule while I was visiting from out of town and was really kind and engaging, an exceptional, all-around human being. More...

Maik’s Gym has been as transformative a fitness experience as I’ve ever had. My weekly sessions with my trainer Jay are anchoring my fitness journey and something I look forward to every week. The gym is run extremely professionally, boasting high end equipment that looks and feels like nothing you’ve ever seen or touched before. All trainers are pros and very personable - truly committed to helping you achieve your goals, they gently guide and push you at the right pace and with fantastic results. This is not a quick one-and-done transactional relationship that’s trying to sell you magic pills, but rather a level headed approach to fitness and nutrition that can better you for good. There is a sense that Maik’s crew has created a real community (or dare I say family) of like minded trainers with an amazing positive attitude. And a clientele that looks visibly content and motivated by this place which adds to the positive energy. I look forward to seeing where they take the gym and the brand in the future and to staying part of it for years to come. More...

JUST GO! The trainers, equipment and the gym were excellent. I've lifted for years, but I think this place is a "step above". The equipment is made by Watson based in Liverpool. It was the best I every trained with. The gym is on the 6th floor (57'th and Lex) with large glass windows around two of the main walls. Bright with great views. Was visiting NYC for 2 weeks, I found the place through Google maps. Immediately called and the owner gave me call back in one hour! I signed up for 8 visits. Trained with Maik (owner) first day; awesome introduction to the machines, new movements and the staff. Trained mainly with Shane. Super knowledgeable and great sense of humor. I really wanted to thank Shayne for teaching me many things I was missing about lifting in general (form, frequency, focus) but especially stressing the legs. Also, thanks to Alex who effortlessly handles all the scheduling for everything while accommodating flexibility. Great experience! More...

If you're ready to take a step forward toward whatever gym goals you have - even if and especially when you're not quite sure what those are - Maik and every trainer who works with him will meet you right there and help you realize your potential to achieve what you want. When I started going about 2.5 years ago, I brought with me an assortment of good and bad habits, accurate and inaccurate information, and a very vague goal of just wanting to get in better shape. Right off the bat, Maik provides you with a wealth of good information about training, diet and nutrition, and habits and practices. After an assessment of where you are and where you want to go, he'll set you up with an appropriate workout program and a trainer who will help guide you on your way. Each trainer is highly knowledgeable, personable, and dedicated to helping you get moving towards your goals and making their gym the best, most supportive, and results-oriented place it can be. The gym has the best equipment, much of it made just for Maik's gym, plenty of space to work in, and a really fun, supportive, vibe. They'll match your energy, so if you're really going in there to push yourself hard, they're ready. And if you're just learning and gaining confidence, they're ready for you, too. I can testify to the results that are possible - even probable if you stick to a plan. I objectively look better, feel better and am healthier. I leaned information, techniques, and habits that will last me a lifetime. Highest recommendation from me!! Worth every penny!! More...

I have been super impressed by what Maik has built here! Amazing equipment, awesome people and an overall great vibe (bonus points for the Haribo). I have chronic medical issues so I was very nervous to try working out again but the trainers check in after workouts to see if I’m dealing with any injuries and I’m easily able to share my nutrition and weight metrics in their app. I have felt so welcomed and supported here and even find myself looking forward to training days! These guys are the best. More...

Hilly and the team here have truly transformed my fitness journey. Despite my history of injuries and weight gain, Hilly tailored workouts that helped me reach my peak fitness. Maik, who oversees operations and everyone’s training, provides no-nonsense guidance – his German precision in adjusting my macros was spot on. The entire staff is supportive and scientifically driven. Unlike public gyms, there's no waiting for equipment here. Every single trainer is punctual, accountable, and damn smart. Trainers like Alex and Shane will give you the best tips and tricks that Instagram influencers cannot match. Jay, who knows how to stretch any part of your aching body out, deserves his roses for keeping the studio spotless along with the motivational pictures of his own fitness journey. Greg's energizing playlists that give you life in the early mornings and Boggy's “eclectic” music taste, create an unbeatable environment. If you're in NYC, this is the pinnacle of fitness excellence. Thank you, Hilly, for your dedication and expertise. Thank you to the whole team for completely changing how I approach lifting and working out. More...

Maik is arguably the best personal trainer in NYC and the absolute best trainer I have ever had! He helped me with my postpartum transition back to my fittest self through weekly in-person training sessions that left me feeling like I had actually worked my muscles and not just moved weights around. As a renowned competitive bodybuilder and an Olympian, he knows exactly what it takes to achieve the results his clients desire. His training regimens as well as tailored diets come from a deep scientific understanding of nutrition and metabolism and are the opposite of the pseudoscientific garbage and fads that are floating around on social media. Did I mention that he is also an engaging conversationalist and I hardly noticed how the hour flew by when we were working out together? If you are interested in real results, pick up the phone and give Maik a call. You'll be glad you did! More...

I met Maik after working out with another coach for 6 months+ and staying pretty much stagnant. Daily workouts, constantly chasing higher weights, but no progress. That was me when I met Maik through a recommendation from a close friend. I did an initial workout with Maik and told him about my issue of staying flat and not seeing any gains. Within just 30 days Maik has identified the nature of the issue in both my diet and types of exercise that I was doing and has developed a strategy, goals and objectives. I started seeing progress in just a couple of weeks. Here I am slightly more than a month into working with Maik and seeing major changes and transformations of my body. If you’re looking for a strategic approach to how you look and feel and not just another meathead, come to Maik and he will handhold you to the destination where you’re trying to get. Highly recommended 💪💪💪 More...

This person has very little moral compass or character or professionalism. He broke my family of two young kids. Such vultures and low-life exist to prey on women who are struggling to find self-worth, body image and reach out seeking help.
