FAQ
Our coaching program caters to all levels of experience and specializes in a curriculum for beginners. At UpFit, our goal is to help members develop strong fundamentals and learn how to effectively manage a strength & conditioning program for long-term results.
UpFit’s signature program is our Small Group Training Class. It offers the same level of individualization of Personal Training and results at a fraction of the cost by sharing the attention of a coach. The small group setting forces members to more quickly develop competence and autonomy with their training, nutrition, and lifestyle.
Personal Training is a great option for those without any prior experience in athletics or with strength & conditioning. It’s also a great starting point for those with orthopedic challenges, those navigating through injury, or those with recent surgical history that need more supervision during their training sessions.
Our comprehensive nutrition coaching is designed to complement your training program and is tailored to your individual needs and goals. Our coaches will guide you through personalized nutrition strategies. We focus on sustainable habits, not quick fixes, to ensure long-term success and overall well-being.
All coaches have degrees in Exercise Science and are experienced in working with and around most orthopedic conditions. More often an appropriate strength program with proper exercise selection and dosage is the best intervention to recover from injury and return to sport and activities of daily living while staying pain-free.

UpFit Training Academy
I was training with Wes, and I received great personalized guidance in strengthening my performance as a runner! My advice to anyone reading this is to not sleep on the opportunity to show up here and receive the superior expertise of the kind coaches on site.
Great time
Great coaches with specific, personalized training programs.
Had a great workout, shoutout coach Wes!
Very clean space with trainers that hone in automatically.
Truly knowledgeable session, where you're met where you are
So right on! Will be signing up long term!
Love this place!
Amazing staff!!
UpFit is everything I hoped for and more — the perfect balance of hands-on guidance from coaches who steer me in the right direction and correct my movements, paired with enough independence to feel empowered and grow more comfortable within the gym and routines. I conquered my fear of handling weights (big deal!) and learned so much from each of your stellar coaches (shoutout to David K, Erika, and Patricia!). The team truly contributes to a culture that feels inclusive, welcoming, and motivating, making everyone who walks in feel braver for it. I’m officially a fan and will be spreading the gospel of UpFit to anyone seeking dynamic, results-driven training that helps eliminate fear and discomfort.
5/5 stars!! Trainers are compassionate and encouraging. Have only had pleasant experiences. Affordable and doable. Perfect place to begin or maintain personal fitness. Really can’t fully express my satisfaction with customer service, exercises, and specialized coaching. Shoutout all the nice trainers, Robert, Wes and Erika.
Such a great gym! They focus on personalized programs, and the trainers are friendly, knowledgeable, and really pay attention to your goals and needs. Every workout feels thoughtful and intentional. Felt stronger after the first few workouts! Highly recommend 🙂
The team at UpFit are really great. The facilities are always clean and have everything that you need. They even have BioDerma for the girlies (IYKYK) and a full shower for people on the go. The coaches are phenomenal and are always so patient and knowledgeable. They push you to your limit in a good way because they believe in you and so motivating. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking to start your fitness journey or just looking for a place to keep you on track of fitness goals. Shout out to my coaches- Eric, Erika, Patricia and Aly. They were all so good and kind. Erika is the sweetest!!!
I had an evaluation with Paul at UpFit Academy, and it was an amazing experience. He’s extremely knowledgeable, took the time to explain everything clearly, and made the session both effective and enjoyable. I left feeling informed and motivated. Highly recommend UpFit Academy!
One of the best investments that I have made recently was to join the UpFit family! All 3 of the locations are extremely clean and have all the equipment you might need, the programming is top tier and the whole thing has a luxury feel to it. I’ve been doing personal training for a few months now and I gotta say I love coach Erika! Every session feels like going to therapy while also getting shredded, and any time you’re trying to slack off, you’ll be motivated to get it done one way or another. Very grateful to have started my training at UpFit!
All the coaches are fantastic here but I've been working with David Z. a lot and he is the best! He has such a calm demeanor and always corrects me with his watchful eye. I appreciate him pushing and believing in me to get one more set done esp when I don't think I can. But that's how you get results !
I have recently joined Upfit in their small group training and wished I had joined earlier. But better now than never! I had a detailed physical assessment (which included a complete body scan(eye opening process btw)) with Wes and we discussed my goals and their process to reach them. I decided to join the the small group training, where each of us has our own individualized session to follow under the watchful eyes of the trainers. And the trainers are fantastic. They have corrected me in a lot of my forms so I am working out more efficiently. Plus they push you when you need the push, and I am one of those that def need that. I have only started but I can feel a difference in my body. I had noted to them my weaker points of my body and feel my workouts have been geared to make those points stronger. All the coaches here are fantastic but I've been working with Patri a lot and absolutely love her energy, music and watchful eye on my training.
I am so grateful for my time working with Patricia each week. She’s helped me change the way I feel about fitness. She is the best trainer and coach!
Love Patri!! I love this gym, i love having a community at the gym. The coaches are amazing!!
Love David k!! I’ve been coming to Upfit for years now and i wouldn’t have it any other way. The staff is amazing and so knowledgeable. I look forward to going to class every week. I love the group session and the one on ones. Everyone is so nice and just makes it easier to go and work out. Love it!!
Love Brian!!! I’ve been to the Brooklyn gym a few times and it’s awesome. It’s big and easy to get too. Great trainers!!!
LOVE PATRI I originally came to UpFit because they assessed your health / fitness level and then worked with you on creating the best plan. At the time I was dealing with some issues and I can honestly say that UpFit fixed me right up. Other than that, I have stayed for 3+ years for the trainers and for the community that UpFit has provided me with. I absolutely love training with all the trainers - they are all enthusiastic, excellent professionals, funny, fun and incredibly supportive and motivating. The set up is small group personal training, usually a group of 5 maximum, and everyone has their own program and the trainer is watching and guiding. I can tell you that they see everything even when you think they don't, they do. I have made so many friends at UpFit because all the members are absolutely amazing. It's a great gym - one that will work with you to reach your goals and you will see results. I highly recommend UpFit!
The best investment I’ve made for my body, I try to always snag Eric, he helped me get my deadlift form down to finally train without pain
Love the customized workout classes for me, always get the best workouts here, I cancelled my other gym because it’s just worth it. Love all of the coaches, especially Eric, he’s always on top of it and gets me going
