Lapine Fitness Studio

"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!"

"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!"

"The new Lapine Studio is spectacular. Well equipped, well staffed (Nate is lovely) and a treat overall. The perfect way to get back to fit. Workouts are tailored to push you just the right amount and I made real progress. Thank you Paul and crew!"

"I highly recommend Paul Lapine Fitness. To quote a great college football coach, Paul "attacks each day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind!" His high level of motivation is contagious and I've never felt as encouraged by personal trainers in the past. The correctives he gives me on things like posture or positioning when I'm doing each exercise are spot on, he is super-knowledgeable, and it's clear he is excited about doing this work and helping people feel better. Paul did an intake conversation with me where we identified what I want to focus on most, and he created an individual plan for me that targeted those goals. (You can see the other folks in your session are working on different exercises.) He has regularly referred back to those goals, and it's nice to feel that level of personalization. I definitely felt very "heard." This is "small group training," not one-on-one, so If you need your trainer's attention 100% of the workout, this is not for you. But I am really enjoying the small group training (2-3 other clients share the session) because of the added comradery; it's nice to meet some neighbors sharing common challenges and goals. Since it's catering to a Park Slope/Brownstone Brooklyn clientele, it feels especially geared toward middle-age parents like me who have struggled to find time to workout consistently. I feel really lucky to have found Lapine Fitness!"

"Paul and his team are the best! Honestly, I signed up thinking I would just do this for a few months to kick start my fitness journey, but the investment is well worth it, and I've stayed on longer than I thought I would because of how wonderful and personal the experience has been. In addition to being a great coach, Paul is also one of the sweetest and kindest people I've met. Highly Recommend!"
