 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I 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. Earlier 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. Six 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. Can'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!

Blair

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!

Kashan

I am fortunate to have found an exceptional new coach. Their expertise is truly top-notch. I feel grateful to be able to continue my health journey with their guidance. Cheers to this exciting new chapter!

Chelsey Amelkin

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.

Frank Nelson

Been training with Paul for a few months and its been wonderful. Paul is a blast to work with and the best trainer I’ve had. Always motivating and nice. The facility is clean. Workouts are engaging, already seeing great results. 10/10

Mannie

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!

I've been training at LFS for almost 2 months now and can't believe how fast it's gone by. I joined because I wanted to maintain my physical health and get stronger and the support and guidance I've received have been superb. I've met all 4 of the trainers there and they are all awesome- super nice, experienced and supportive during training. The workouts prepared for me are fun, interesting and effective (aka tough!) and scheduling sessions is easy and flexible. I always feel good afterwards and can't recommend LFS enough! Thanks guys! I feel great ?

— Sarah Jane

LFS has been my home for working out since early 2023 and I couldn't be more happier about my experience. My goals included building strength and muscle while being careful after recovering from a herniated disc. All of the trainers that I've worked with have been extremely cautious and caring with movements and exercises that we work through. It's been amazing to see my personal, physical and mental growth over this year 🙂

— Ryan Scanlon

I was one of the many who have the post new years slump when you just don't feel comfortable in your body. However, discovering Lapine Fitness Studio was seriously life changing! Paul and his team created the BEST personalized training program for me in which I can both see and feel the results. I have more strength, energy and best of all actually look forward to working out (which is a first for me!) Thank you, Paul!

— Gena Oppenheim

Lapine Fitness is great. The new place is super clean and I felt all Covid precautions were followed. I always enjoy my 1 on 1 sessions with Paul. He always makes me feel very comfortable and the workouts are the best!! I have referred 2 friends and they love him too. Try him you won't be sorry.

— Michelle Grippo

I had never worked with a personal trainer before, boxing and working out were things that I was unfamiliar with and not entirely comfortable with. It was an entirely new skill set to learn and with that came the fear of just being bad at it, and the fear of embarrassing myself.

— Austin

I have been using LPS a few months now and actually enjoy the workouts he specifically designed for me based on my age, fitness level and rotator cuff injury. Paul is always accessible for questions or to tweak my routine as needed.

— glenn stiles

This training facility is unique in that it is a truly 1-on-1 personalized approach to fitness. The space is well equipped, clean, and private. I recently had a great boxing workout here! There is also access to a squat rack, dumbbells and kettlebells, and more- all the classics that you need to become strong and healthy! Highly recommend training here with one of their skilled personal trainers!

— Paul Nasri

Great studio personalized for your specific needs. Even if you don't know what you need- it's a great place to start. I first came in with a general goal of getting in better shape. Paul worked with me to set more specific goals and target areas of interest based on my wants/needs. He was very attentive and instructive about form and was happy to answer any questions I had. The experience felt very personalized.

— Trevor Denman

I highly recommend LFS. I wanted to get back into a regular movement routine while managing a chronic health condition. I also wanted the accountability of working out with a trainer. Jos is excellent at challenging me while being mindful of what I can manage physically. I appreciate how thoughtfully programmed each session is and I am definitely getting stronger!

— Tiffany HyeonBrooks

I love LFS! I am working to get back in shape after a long sedentary period and dealing with chronic pain. I came to LFS to get help with rebuilding strength in a safe way so as not to aggravate my pain, and hopefully heal it. All the trainers are fabulous and attentive, the programming has been great and tailored to my goals and issues, and everyone I’ve done small group sessions with has been awesome. Great little community. Truly grateful to have found LFS.
