Transform Fitness NYC

The other evening as my client was catching her breath after set of leg presses, I looked around at all the activity happening in the space.  Paul was talking his client through a series of yoga hip-openers on a mat.  A few feet away Chris was demonstrating  a TRX lunge.  Ann Marie was calmly guiding her client through the final seconds of all-out effort on the Med-X chest press.  And Quintin’s client was, well, frankly, crumpling to the floor in exhaustion after a set of power cleans.

In that one moment was a snapshot of what occurs everyday–in fact, every hour–at Transform Fitness.  The diversity of movements, styles and clients was in and of itself quite remarkable.  But what struck me most was how underneath it all were definite guiding principles that tie it all together.

These principles more than anything else, I think, are what the Transform Experience is all about.  It’s what sets our personal training apart from every other place. And it hit me that while Paul and I–and all of the trainers we are lucky to have here–deal with these principles every day, it may not be so obvious to someone looking in from the outside.

So here, in brief, are the guiding principles that we use to bring our clients a unique exercise experience while giving them the results they are looking for:

• The Ideal Exercise Environment
• Choosing the Best Exercises
• Your Health and Fitness Goals
• Self-Knowledge is Power
• Strength is the Foundation
• Variation
• Live Your Life

Over the next few weeks, I’ll go in depth on each of these topics.  In the meantime, see you at the studio.
