Atomic Total Fitness

I purchased a 12-​session on Gilt and am very happy with the training. Adam is very knowledgable of anatomy /​body structure, which helps me to understand the mechanics of getting the right form. I highly recommend to anyone who does not just want to jump and sweat for an hour, but would like to better understanding of lifting and gymnastics movements.

I purchased a Gilt 12-​session package from Atomic after my husband Sean had been successfully working out with Adam for almost a year. I had personally witnessed Sean receive numerous compliments from friends about how buff he looked of late and decided it was time for me to also make a push as Spring was just around the corner.
I really enjoy working out with Adam and appreciate his tailored focus on my fitness needs and goals. I also love the online scheduling system at Atomic which is fast, user-​friendly and easily enables me to make changes should I have a conflict with a scheduled workout session.
I’ve just completed my 12-​session package and have decided to buy another package as I too can see my work paying off.
Atomic is a small, intimate gym with a caring staff where anyone will be made to feel welcomed and can quickly make progress towards a healthier self!

Joining Atomic has been one of the best commitments I have made to myself. I have been a member since 2012, and first joined in preparation for my wedding. During that time, I trained about 2 to 3 times a week and got into amazing shape with the help of Adam and Gary. I am so thankful for the friendship I have formed with Adam and Gary, they are extremely professional, knowledgeable and caring about their clients and their fitness goals. I can not say enough good things about their work ethic, and the attention they place in customizing their client workouts. No matter how I felt before my training session, I always leave feeling 100% better. They encourage me to keep working towards my goal, listen to my insecurities, work around exercise limitations, and provide long term positive habits. I really admire how innovative and creative Adam and Gary are about the work space and what Atomic provides. I always rave about the service Atomic provides and have been able to bring several of my friends/​family to join in my training sessions. The one on one care Atomic provides is incomparable and I will forever be appreciative for their help in meeting my fitness goals.

I went to a workout class here early November for a bootcamp class. While the instructor was very nice, the workout average, but still decent… my pet peeve was the condition the studio was in at the time. Lights were hanging from the ceiling, wall particles on the floor, open wires, a broken clock barely hanging on the wall. The instructor apologized stating that the studio was «in transition» at the time – «Sorry, I know it looks a little ghetto,» she stated. Being understanding at the time, I gave it a free pass and assumed it was an exception. However, now January, I decided to give it another shot and try out their Hip Hop class.
Upon arrival, I and another student, waited downstairs ringing the doorbell for 10 minutes before class. Also called the studio number multiple times. No one buzzed us in, nor answered the phone, and we entered as someone was leaving the building. Upon getting to the studio, the main floor was locked, but the group workout room was open… wires out, a falling chandelier, light bulbs and other tools/​gadgets out to the visible eye, and stacks of items clearly out of place (e.g. massage table, leg brace) cramped in the corner of this «workout room». «Ok, not ideal and probably a little unprofessional, but hopefully the class will be good.» Much to my dismay, I guess I’ll never know if that class was good since the instructor never showed up. Three-​students wandering waiting for some sign of someone and no luck. Tried calling the studio number multiple times and no answer. Not only is the facility itself physically unorganized and lacking, but clearly so is management and communication. There are plenty of other work out studios in NYC… don’t know why anyone would choose here first.

I agree with a lot of other reviews on this page, ATF is an amazing value, no gym membership or pushy sales people, just good old fashioned working out! The gym is small but clean, tidy and gets the job done, with AMAZING trainers! I have worked with all of them at this point and I genuinely look forward to seeing them!
What you can expect; a few sessions where the trainer (again I cannot stress how amazing they ALL are) figures out your form, gets to know your style (what you like and hate), what you’re looking to achieve etc, then you set goals and watch your body change! There is a little more to it than this, which is why you should go in and try it for yourself :)
Whether you have been working out for years or never stepped foot in a gym any one of the trainers here will be able to help you achieve your goal (which they will also help you set, because as I learned from Gary getting a hot beach body isn’t very concrete, squatting your own body weight on the other hand, much easier to comprehend and eventually do)
From my experience, occasionally the times you prefer may not be available but everyone is so accommodating that if you let them know a time/​day that works for you they will make it happen!
I can’t stress how much I love this place enough… stop wasting money on those lame gym trainers who are boring and start working out with people who are so knowledgeable and friendly that you will almost forget how hard you’re working!

I enjoyed the Boot Camp class here, which I found through class pass, a lot. It was challenging but a lot of fun, and the instructor had great energy. Will definitely be back!

Can’t say enough good things about these guys and their business. The trainers are down to earth and they’ve created an environment that’s perfect for intense fitness without the «meathead factor». They customize your workout based on your experience and goals, and they incorporate variety so it’s never boring. The rates are very competitive and worth every penny. Give Lorenzo a shot — you won’t regret it. He’ll kick your butt, but he’s great with the encouragement and motivation so the time flies by.

ATF is an excellent bang for your buck. I signed up for the Foundations package. Adam, Shawn and Lorenzo, all of them are equally awesome. Before signing-​up for ATF I’d never stepped inside a gym before. These guys made it so accessible for me. I will be signing up for more sessions as soon as I can. Adam’s philosophy ‘it’s all about the form’ is very refreshing. Signup today.

These guys are AMAZING! Such a great business model — you get personal training without having to pay a membership fee on top! The training is amazing — they really personalize your training to your needs, interests, and workout style (what motivates you, what types of workouts you hate, what types of workouts you love). They really take the time to explain everything to you and pay close attention to/​correct your form to make sure you’re getting the most out of your workout. And they’re the nicest people ever. I love how you can work with any trainer so you can book a session when it works best for your schedule. The space has everything you need for a killer workout — I love the suspension training and how they stretch you out at the end of the session.

I came to Atomic after being on bedrest and up 70 lbs during my pregnancy. I was in bad shape and this was the perfect way to get muscles moving and send me on my way to losing weight, and build my muscles back up. The workouts aren’t too rough, but super effective. I really liked their approach to training. I worked with Adam and Gary, but all of the guys are super nice. You’ll be in good hands with anyone there. Adam is running a great business, as you can tell by the amount of clients they have (but scheduling was still easy and flexible.)

Atomic Fitness is a fun and inviting environment. All instructors are driven, knowledgable, and eager to know your goals. I personally have had the pleasure of being able to train with Lorenzo Montanez. Lorenzo concentrates on your pace, and what will provide long term results!

This place is all around great. I’ve been coming to Atomic for the last five weeks, and I don’t have one complaint. Everyone is very professional and willing to answer any questions. The space is a little small, but very clean. Every time I walk out the door, I know I got a great workout.

I’ve trained with other trainers at different gym in the past. I would recommend Atomic above and beyond any other personal training gym. The men and women who train there are wonderful and inspiring. The atmosphere is great. I laugh all the time while I’m getting my butt kicked into shape. The gym is small, but has everything you need. Definitely worth checking them out.

I recently purchased a deal on Gilt City for Atomic Total Fitness and sadly didn’t have a good experience. Once I received my voucher, I logged in online and looked for available sessions at 7pm or 7am, which are the times that work best for me with my work schedule. I had to book about 2 months out. The day before my scheduled session I received an email reminder about my session and it turns out someone had moved my session to 8pm, with a different trainer, without ever checking with me. I tried calling (couldn’t get in touch with anyone) and responding to the email twice, with no response. Later that night, the trainer texted me to confirm my appointment for the following day and I was finally able to express my disappointment in my appointment being moved. He was very apologetic and had the owner call me. The owner was somewhat apologetic but said that he moved my appointment about a week ago to fit someone else in. I told him this was upsetting to me because I booked my appointment so long ago, and he said the problem was that I booked it so far in advance… meanwhile, it’s impossible to book an appointment at prime times more than several months in advance. This company doesn’t do business in a way I agree with so I ultimately had to request a refund from Gilt.

I purchased a gilt deal for 12 sessions with atomic to help me prep for my wedding. After using those 12 sessions, I bought 16 more — they are that good. Gary and Adam got me in great shape and always maintain a positive, supporting and friendly atmosphere. They are always paying one-​on-​one attention to you to make sure that your form is correct and you get the most out of all your reps. I highly recommend them and can’t wait to come back. Even for exercise newbies, this is a place with people that will make you feel strong and comfortable.

Atomic Total Fitness is awesome. Shawn, Kim and Adam are all very personable but will also make you work. They’re very responsive to your specific circumstances, goals, injuries, etc. The place is not huge but has everything you might need — plus, because of the way the space is laid out over two separate rooms, it feels like it’s just you and your trainer in your own private studio.

I purchased a Gilt City deal and was very happy with the trainers at Atomic Total Fitness. I saw results and learned some great new exercise moves. Took me a while to get used to the 4^th floor walk-​up but making it up the stairs was well worth the effort.

Adam, Gary, & crew are great. I’ve never been to a trainer for this long before. These guys provide fresh workouts daily and push me harder each time I’m there.
I’ve never felt this good before!

I first started working with Adam Shuty in 2005. I’ve occasionally used other trainers during the seven years since, and everything you need to know about Adam and his studio can be summed up in four words: I always go back.
Other trainers haven’t been very good at adjusting my workout for my injuries, both temporary and permanent ones. Adam has. He doesn’t baby my knee, but he finds alternative ways of strengthening it.
Other trainers often seemed to have a one-​size-​fits-​all approach to fitness. I’m not the same as your other clients, and I won’t get good results from their regimen. Adam customizes my workouts not only for the individual I am and the unique body that I have, but also for whatever stage of progress I’ve reached.
Other trainers, for heaven’s sake, have sometimes let me slack when I wasn’t in the mood. Adam understands the basic truths that led me to hire a trainer in the first place: I need someone to help drive me to physical success, and the days I don’t feel like working out ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT DAYS TO BE WORKING OUT. Adam is a nice guy, but he knows exactly when I need to be pushed, and he isn’t afraid of pushing me.
Let’s face it, other trainers are sometimes a little cheaper — in a city like New York, you can always find someone hungry enough for business that they’ll undercut the pros. I’ve even paid *higher* rates than Adam’s, hoping I might «get what I paid for.» And I’ve always, always, ALWAYS gone back to Adam.
Adam is a smart, funny, engaging guy who just happens also to know how to help you get in shape, stay in shape, and achieve the goals you have for your physical development. He even gives me routines to do while I’m traveling on business — or even on my honeymoon! — so that I can choose not to let myself lose progress. It is, after all, ultimately up to me.
I recommend Adam Shuty and Atomic Total Fitness unreservedly and without hesitation.

Best workout ever!
It combines Chinese Martial Arts with cardio, strengthening, stretching…
Really an all around amazing core-​body workout.
I could slay a dragon with my abs now!
Adam Shuty is the bomb, what can I say?
