Would highly recommend.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Zalak Shah2024-09-03I have been going to Lapine Fitness Studio since June 2024 and it has been nothing short of an amazing experience. Paul and his team are extremely supportive and encouraging in whatever fitness goals you might have. It's a very friendly group of people and you'll always come out of a session feeling great!

I didn't believe I could train at a gym without feeling intimidated, Paul and team made it happen. Strongly recommend trying it out for yourself!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Jessica Lowther2024-09-02I have been training at Lapine for about 6 weeks now and am already feeling stronger and settled into the routine. The gym itself is beautiful, spacious, and clean and the trainers are so friendly, helpful, and encouraging. When you sign up for a class, you’re working out alongside only about 3 other people and it’s fun to see everyone working hard and having fun at the same time. I would highly recommend Lapine Fitness for anyone who’s looking for a nudge in the right direction and feels lost in the weight area of the gym. Even if you only commit to a few months, you’ll be better off in the long run learning new exercises and correct form. You’ll also have gained confidence in your abilities and your workout plan!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Marina Field2024-08-23Earlier this year I realized that I had fallen into a fitness slump. While it was easy to motivate myself to do a cardio workout, strength training often felt like a chore. I also struggled with consistency. I knew I needed to find a gym where I could be held accountable, but I didn’t want to have to rush to sign up for a desirable time slot or get stuck with a 6 am session because it was the only one available. Lapine Fitness Studio (LFS) showed up as an ad on my Instagram and I soon found myself on a zoom call with the founder Paul Lapine. My goal was to find out more information but by the end of our conversation, I had scheduled my first workout! It’s been 3 months, and I haven’t looked back. A lot of times when you join a gym it can feel intimidating or impersonal, but LFS is the opposite. When you enter the space, you’re typically greeted with a friendly hello and introduced to the other people training with you that day. Since it’s small group personal training, you have 1 trainer and then a max of 4 people working with that trainer. At the most there will never be more than 8 people total training in the gym at one time. This setup enables a high level of personal attention without the higher cost of one-on-one training. Additionally, the other members I’ve interacted with are all nice and friendly and it generally seems like a welcoming and supportive community. Each person has their own workout station and an individualized workout plan that aligns with their goals and interests and takes into consideration any injuries you might have. The trainers walk around, continuously checking in, correcting your form, and giving you tips. They also set up your equipment so you’re ready to go for the next set. In the time that I’ve been there I’ve been surprised at how much stronger I’m getting. I’m lifting weights heavier than I’ve lifted in my life. When left to my own devices I don’t push myself in the weight room. Here I’ve learned I’m more capable and stronger than I thought. Overall LFS is one of the best gyms that I’ve been a member of. But don’t take my word for it, schedule an appointment and check it out for yourself.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Masao Donahue2024-08-14Six months ago I was looking at options for personal training in Park Slope. I was looking for consistency and accountability and found it immediately. I wanted to continue rehab efforts and build strength. Paul and his team cater programs around my goals, even as they evolve. The programs change every six weeks or so, so nothing feels stale and I can see and feel the progress week in and week out. There are frequent check-ins, communication is terrific, and I couldn’t say enough great things about the trainers. The place and the crew just motivate me. I look forward to it every week!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Jessie Baker2024-08-12Can't say enough good things about Paul and this studio. I joined up with Paul and his squad in November 2023 to train for an annual hike of the Grand Canyon. At the time I was feeling bored with my at-home routine and missing the accountability of having a friend to work out with so I took a leap. I have been working around a life-long mobility issue and have tried other fitness programs, chronically disappointed by the lack of focus to form. The small group coaching session way of operating has been amazing for me, and specifically Paul and his team's expertise, attention to detail and continued flexibility. They listen to what I need and when I say hey man, I'm getting bored - they adjust. They help me push myself in a way that accommodates my injuries and help set me up to succeed rather than chronically injure myself and lose motivation. I mostly train with Nate these days and love him, he listens if I'm having a bad day and will change programming around on the fly based on it. Having mobility issues shouldn't hinder anyone from being fit and I'm so grateful to have found a place that has been able to support my goals. The crew is a nice blend of people new to fitness and people further along in their journey - I say that as I was a bit hesitant based on the ads that it would be too "newbie" oriented and boring for me. The programming works in a way that can accommodate wherever you're at and Paul encourages being vocal and giving feedback which I've genuinely appreciated so much. Will be here as long as my budget allows me!

I’ve been training at Lapine Fitness Studio since November 2022 and it’s been transformative for me. I’ve never been able to get a consistent fitness routine going for myself, and I was looking for someone that could really partner with and coach me on it. A friend recommended Paul and he’s been absolutely fantastic. I can’t believe how much progress I’ve made already, and I’m totally surprised by how much I look forward to each session! He and his training staff are really responsive and give a very personalized experience. I’m looking forward to many more workouts with them!

I have been working out with LFS for about 2 months now, and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my adult life. As a fulltime working parent, I let my fitness and health fall to the wayside, and Paul and the LFS fam not only made me feel like a priority, but instilled in me a sense of needing to prioritize myself. In 2 months alone, my clothes are fitting better and I’ve started losing weight. Couldn’t recommend them higher!
Matthew Warner
The universal praise for Lapine Fitness is well earned. Paul, Jos and Emilio are all fantastic and the training truly feels bespoke. The best option I have found in my area (Park Slope) but worth coming out for if you can make it a part of your regular practice. They care about their clients and their development and know their stuff.

Paul and his team here really show a level of care that I’m not sure you can find at most places. Assuring that you not only get your moneys worth but also reach the goals you set for yourself. Wouldn’t want to work with anyone else in New York !
Kim Werner
Seriously, Paul is awesome! Gym is super clean & private. I have a complicated health history, with a ton of old injuries all over my body. Paul has beautifully programmed things in to support those recoveries with the rest of our training, and I consistently leave feeling both physically and mentally better than how I walked in. His willingness to thoroughly answer every ridiculous question I’ve thrown at him makes me feel completely safe & comfortable that I’m in the best possible hands.
As a very overweight 30-something year old, I wasn’t sure what to expect coming in. After a month, I now know that I can expect an hour of positivity, support, and growth – and some of the best hours of the week!
