Maik Wiedenbach Personal Training New York ( NYC )

Fantastic experience: Great gym, clean, lots of machines and never overcrowded. Trainers are friendly and professional.

Fantastic experience: This was the best experience ever, they got awesome equipment, fantastic trainers . Thanks to Greg I saw results almost immediately. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I’ve been exercising regularly for years, with little progress. But my trainer from Maik Wiedenbach helped me learn why I haven’t been getting results, and designed completely new workouts tailored to my personal goals. I’ve had several personal trainers before, with mixed results, but I’ve had much better improvement with my trainer from Maik Wiedenbach. In addition to learning how to workout more effectively, I like having an app with videos showing how to do exercises at home, and rather than just telling me what I should and shouldn’t eat, they tell me *why* a certain nutrition plan works for my goals.

Fantastic experience: This gym is the best. I’d been a casual gym goer before this, with some decent stretches of weight training without much progress beyond newbie gains in terms of muscle growth or fat loss (and often with loss of mobility or even minor injury). After a few years of working long hours at a desk job and my body shape going in the wrong direction, I decided to try out Maik’s gym. I have seen way more results in 2 months than I had in years of trying to workout on my own. My main trainer Alex is so smart on diet and training, and he has helped design a diet and workout plan that has made me healthier, stronger, leaner, and more flexible than I’ve been in the past. Also all the trainers are super friendly, and there’s no trace of an intimidating atmosphere. Would give it 6 stars if I could.

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out. Maik is very nice and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: This gym have machines that you won’t find anywhere else. Plus everyone is very friendly. It’s worth the investment!

Fantastic experience: Equipment might look familiar, but it’s made to order with custom movements, which helps target muscles in ways other gyms can not. Maik & the trainers are knowledgeable and friendly offering good vibes and experience for all levels.

Fantastic experience: I love training with Maik. He is fantastic. First time I walked in he told me my shoulders are too high which means I have a weak back so we worked on this. It helped me a lot with the neck pain I used to get. I’m getting stronger and also more muscle defind. What I like especially about training with Maik is that he has a very scientific approach to training. He’s an absolute expert when it comes to machines (which he designed himself) and also the connection of training and nutrition. I have a friend who also started recently and is also very happy with the studio and its trainers.

Fantastic experience: I’m 64, trying to get in the best possible shape for my upcoming retirement next year. Maik and his team apply decades of experience along with science backed methods. I’m 100% confident that I have the motivation and discipline to achieve my goals! They gently yet resolutely have gotten me to use their equipment in proper form and the results are amazing. They assist with all aspects of transformation including the psychological challenges. I’m sure you will feel the same after training here!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym wi the great equipment. Great location right in the middle of midtown. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: A truly great experience to build your best self. The trainers are very professional and build the training regimen around your goals. Worked with Alex who was a great help in my fitness journey

Fantastic experience: I train with Alex whenever I get a chance! He has a great knowledge and experience, and always gives me right answers for my questions! He also checks me up how I’m doing every week. So grateful! This place is clean and has a good energy to train. Everyone is nice too. Excited to try new machines they have ! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: This gym has been a complete game-changer for me. After a few months of training, I’ve not only noticeably transformed my physique but have also achieved a much deeper understanding of strength training and how to optimize my personal fitness. As someone who had been lifting for years but wasn’t seeing much progress, Alex guided me through an individualized program that completely transformed my understanding of technique, nutrition, and recovery. I was amazed at how quickly my effort, combined with his education, started to translate into real results. On top of the training, the gym has the best atmosphere and equipment of any I’ve ever been to. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to support you, whether you’re a beginner or getting stage-ready. If you want to realize your most ambitious fitness goals and have fun while doing it, this is the place to be. Thank you, Maik and team!

Fantastic experience: I've really enjoyed working out here, both with Maik himself and with Hilly Perper. Both are really smart in the way they work you out, and both have a really chill vibe. I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: I joined Maik's gym about two months ago and have been working with Alex. I have had a wonderful experience that has exceeded my expectations. Prior to working with Alex, I was weight lifting but not seeing improvements in my strength or changes in my body. I told Alex my goals and he set me up with a workout and nutrition program. Since working with him, I have been able to lose weight at a steady rate and have gotten stronger in all my lifts. Alex is an amazing personal trainer who is in tune with his client's needs and lifestyle. He offers a lot of support outside of the gym, which makes all the difference when it comes to sticking to a program. He has held me accountable in a realistic and gentle way and is helping me enjoy fitness and transform my body. I'm really glad I found Maik's gym!

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers truly some of the best in the business! Highly recommend asking for Shane. He is great at managing nutrition, picking the best work out plans, and overall just a great guy to talk with in between sets.

Fantastic experience: Superior personal training experience from an expert. Maik has a wide and diverse range of training knowledge that allows him to accommodate and adapt a workout for where you are at and what will best benefit you. He squeezed me in his schedule while I was visiting from out of town and was really kind and engaging, an exceptional, all-around human being.

Fantastic experience: Hilly is the best! He is one of the best trainers that has ever trained me. He offers great advice on diet and how you can improve on form all the time. 10/10 recommend.

Fantastic experience: Maik’s Gym has been as transformative a fitness experience as I’ve ever had. My weekly sessions with my trainer Jay are anchoring my fitness journey and something I look forward to every week. The gym is run extremely professionally, boasting high end equipment that looks and feels like nothing you’ve ever seen or touched before. All trainers are pros and very personable - truly committed to helping you achieve your goals, they gently guide and push you at the right pace and with fantastic results. This is not a quick one-and-done transactional relationship that’s trying to sell you magic pills, but rather a level headed approach to fitness and nutrition that can better you for good. There is a sense that Maik’s crew has created a real community (or dare I say family) of like minded trainers with an amazing positive attitude. And a clientele that looks visibly content and motivated by this place which adds to the positive energy. I look forward to seeing where they take the gym and the brand in the future and to staying part of it for years to come.

Fantastic experience: JUST GO! The trainers, equipment and the gym were excellent. I've lifted for years, but I think this place is a "step above". The equipment is made by Watson based in Liverpool. It was the best I every trained with. The gym is on the 6th floor (57'th and Lex) with large glass windows around two of the main walls. Bright with great views. Was visiting NYC for 2 weeks, I found the place through Google maps. Immediately called and the owner gave me call back in one hour! I signed up for 8 visits. Trained with Maik (owner) first day; awesome introduction to the machines, new movements and the staff. Trained mainly with Shane. Super knowledgeable and great sense of humor. I really wanted to thank Shayne for teaching me many things I was missing about lifting in general (form, frequency, focus) but especially stressing the legs. Also, thanks to Alex who effortlessly handles all the scheduling for everything while accommodating flexibility. Great experience!

Fantastic experience: I have been super impressed by what Maik has built here! Amazing equipment, awesome people and an overall great vibe (bonus points for the Haribo). I have chronic medical issues so I was very nervous to try working out again but the trainers check in after workouts to see if I’m dealing with any injuries and I’m easily able to share my nutrition and weight metrics in their app. I have felt so welcomed and supported here and even find myself looking forward to training days! These guys are the best.

Fantastic experience: If you're ready to take a step forward toward whatever gym goals you have - even if and especially when you're not quite sure what those are - Maik and every trainer who works with him will meet you right there and help you realize your potential to achieve what you want. When I started going about 2.5 years ago, I brought with me an assortment of good and bad habits, accurate and inaccurate information, and a very vague goal of just wanting to get in better shape. Right off the bat, Maik provides you with a wealth of good information about training, diet and nutrition, and habits and practices. After an assessment of where you are and where you want to go, he'll set you up with an appropriate workout program and a trainer who will help guide you on your way. Each trainer is highly knowledgeable, personable, and dedicated to helping you get moving towards your goals and making their gym the best, most supportive, and results-oriented place it can be. The gym has the best equipment, much of it made just for Maik's gym, plenty of space to work in, and a really fun, supportive, vibe. They'll match your energy, so if you're really going in there to push yourself hard, they're ready. And if you're just learning and gaining confidence, they're ready for you, too. I can testify to the results that are possible - even probable if you stick to a plan. I objectively look better, feel better and am healthier. I leaned information, techniques, and habits that will last me a lifetime. Highest recommendation from me!! Worth every penny!!

Fantastic experience: Hilly and the team here have truly transformed my fitness journey. Despite my history of injuries and weight gain, Hilly tailored workouts that helped me reach my peak fitness. Maik, who oversees operations and everyone’s training, provides no-nonsense guidance – his German precision in adjusting my macros was spot on. The entire staff is supportive and scientifically driven. Unlike public gyms, there's no waiting for equipment here. Every single trainer is punctual, accountable, and damn smart. Trainers like Alex and Shane will give you the best tips and tricks that Instagram influencers cannot match. Jay, who knows how to stretch any part of your aching body out, deserves his roses for keeping the studio spotless along with the motivational pictures of his own fitness journey. Greg's energizing playlists that give you life in the early mornings and Boggy's “eclectic” music taste, create an unbeatable environment. If you're in NYC, this is the pinnacle of fitness excellence. Thank you, Hilly, for your dedication and expertise. Thank you to the whole team for completely changing how I approach lifting and working out.

Fantastic experience: Great gym great people!

Fantastic experience: Maik is arguably the best personal trainer in NYC and the absolute best trainer I have ever had! He helped me with my postpartum transition back to my fittest self through weekly in-person training sessions that left me feeling like I had actually worked my muscles and not just moved weights around. As a renowned competitive bodybuilder and an Olympian, he knows exactly what it takes to achieve the results his clients desire. His training regimens as well as tailored diets come from a deep scientific understanding of nutrition and metabolism and are the opposite of the pseudoscientific garbage and fads that are floating around on social media. Did I mention that he is also an engaging conversationalist and I hardly noticed how the hour flew by when we were working out together? If you are interested in real results, pick up the phone and give Maik a call. You'll be glad you did!

Fantastic experience: I met Maik after working out with another coach for 6 months+ and staying pretty much stagnant. Daily workouts, constantly chasing higher weights, but no progress. That was me when I met Maik through a recommendation from a close friend. I did an initial workout with Maik and told him about my issue of staying flat and not seeing any gains. Within just 30 days Maik has identified the nature of the issue in both my diet and types of exercise that I was doing and has developed a strategy, goals and objectives. I started seeing progress in just a couple of weeks. Here I am slightly more than a month into working with Maik and seeing major changes and transformations of my body. If you’re looking for a strategic approach to how you look and feel and not just another meathead, come to Maik and he will handhold you to the destination where you’re trying to get. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Maik is the best fitness professional I have ever encountered. Period. Maik is an incredible fitness expert. Extremely knowledgeable and effective. He is dedicated. He will get you the results you desire. Maik is not only an extraordinary bodybuilder, but also an amazing human. Kind, honest, ethical, humble, genuine. He is the best partner you can have for a fitness transformation/journey. He will ensure you do things the right way. Maik’s gym is marvelous. Unique and specific equipment that ensure efficient workouts safely. The place is very clean and hygienic. Located in the heart of Manhattan, it is easy to access. The gym even includes free protein bars, gum, Kiehl’s products, etc.! The other trainers in the gym are excellent too, such as Bogi/Bogdan, Jay, Alex, etc. This will be the best investment you will make.

Fantastic experience: As a busy entrepreneur, finding time to exercise was always a challenge. Maik custom-designed a workout plan that fit perfectly into my schedule. He keeps me engaged and motivated, making workouts challenging yet enjoyable. I've seen incredible results in my energy levels, strength, and overall health. Maik Wiedenbach is the best personal trainer in NYC for anyone with a busy lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with the best equipment and trainers in the city!

Fantastic experience: Coach Greg is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to understanding the individual needs of his client and providing deep and wide expertise across programming, training modalities, and nutrition. I have worked with dozens of personal trainers in my life and he is the first one who actively listened to my training history and goals and prepared a tailored and effective program that challenged me without making me feel overwhelmed. I would recommend Coach Greg to anyone who is looking to push themselves especially if you already have a demanding career and schedule! He is amazing at working around your life and constraints to pull the right levers you need to progress.

Fantastic experience: Maik Wiedrbach is the man, I can’t say enough about his workout routines and how I went from a 2 dimensional physique to a 3 dimensional physique in from his workouts. I decided to log my data, as well to showcase my gains, on my personal website that is in beta at joekohlerfitness.netlify.app Seriously you cannot go wrong by training from this man, I read Arnold’s encyclopedia, and while it is a great read, I believe Maik is the most knowledgeable guy around (on YouTube specifically) for building a persons physique, bar none. Thanks Maik, I hope to be hitting the stage in 2024 thanks to you.

Fantastic experience: We are very glad that we found out about Maik Wiedenbach. It is hard to maintain a workout regimen, at least it always has been for us, so the personal workout plans have really helped. Everything is tailored to our individual needs. This is so much better than just joining a gym. So if you are looking for a personal trainer in New York, look no further than Maik Wiedenbach.

Fantastic experience: The best gym with the best trainers! Maik & Jay and team are awesome

Fantastic experience: Gym itself is very high quality and always clean and roomy. Trainers are very knowledgeable and patient - will take time to answer all your questions both within session times and if you’re working out on your own. They’re all supportive, and their plans are customizable and targeted towards goals. All around great experience.

Fantastic experience: Came across trainer Alex Rios by chance, and it’s been above and beyond ever since then. Was coming off a shoulder injury and he helped me get back to 100% in less than a month. It’s more than personal training— It’s accountability, discipline, encouragement and a whole lotta fun. After the first training session, I knew my goals were not only possible, but right around the corner. Can’t wait to see what the future holds!

Fantastic experience: I was hesitant to go to a gym for years, but after working with Alex (and Maik!), I'm really glad I made the decision to join this gym. It's clean, centrally-located, and has some of the most attentive trainers in town. These guys know how to work with your goals and your busy schedule.

Fantastic experience: This personal training experience with Maik and his team (specifically Hasan) has been outstanding so far. You get all-in-one treatment here. Hasan is not just my personal trainer but he is also my nutritionist, physical therapist, chiropractor, etc. These guys are not just experts in fitness and personal training but also are highly knowledgeable and experienced in overall wellness. I highly recommend Maik and Hasan for your personal training needs. Even after only one session with these guys, you will notice that your personal wellbeing is starting to improve.

Negative experience: This person has very little moral compass or character or professionalism. He broke my family of two young kids. Such vultures and low-life exist to prey on women who are struggling to find self-worth, body image and reach out seeking help. He talks about fitness and then lures them into inappropriate conversations at odd hours … Obviously it my wife’s fault first and for that I will end up divorcing her thus ruining the lives of my two young kids …. but as fitness trainer he is not a professional … I leave here with a word of caution for other folks and customers whose significant other / wife /partners might consider his service to be aware of his characters and the potential harm he can bring… Hope he rots in hell !!!!

Fantastic experience: Individualized workouts, diet program, supplements...by far the best trainer I've had. World class, and even better person. If your looking for someone to help you turn things around, he's the guy!

Fantastic experience: Maik, his team, and this gym, are one of New York's great treasures. Maik and his team are all incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to share what they know to help you be better. Maik's passion for sharing his fitness knowledge shines through in every interaction and that makes it a joy to come in for a workout. If you're getting a session from Maik, he's engaged and thoughtful in how he walks you through the movements. If you're working out on your own, he's still keeping a watchful eye across the gym and it's not uncommon for him to come over and make suggestions to improve your form or to help work around an injury you mentioned days ago. This goes for the rest of the team here as well - Shane, Jay, Greg, and the rest of the group are all top notch instructors in their own right, and they do a great job looking out for everyone in the gym. You really get the sense that they're doing everything they can to help you succeed. On top of all that, the gym is spotless and the equipment is very high quality. All in all, one of my favorite finds in this city!

Fantastic experience: trainers. Especially some guy named Jay. Equipment is next level too.

Fantastic experience: The highest bar for personal training. The most cutting edge equipment, research and science. I’ve had my best and most transformative results here

Fantastic experience: I’ve made fantastic progress with Maik so far and look forward to continuing with him. People around me have complimented the changes they’ve noticed. Thank you

Fantastic experience: My wife and have been exercising in this place for months and we live everything about it: professionalism of trainers, personal approach and unique choice if equipment.

Fantastic experience: Honestly can’t recommend this place more. If you’re serious about getting where you need to be, this is the place to go. Super knowledgeable, very attentive, just overall good people. They meet you where you’re at in your fitness journey. No prior gym experience required. Maik, Greg, Corey, Jay are just a handful of the amazing people you’ll interact with when you come to the 57th and Lex gym.

Fantastic experience: Top notch equipments and trainers!

Fantastic experience: The best place to train!

Fantastic experience: Maik and team are great. They are very in tune with your personal fitness goals and craft a plan that makes sense for you. Their focus on form/technique, progression and nutrition checks every box for what you would want in a trainer. Plus they are all very personable and easy to get along with. Highly recommend!

As someone who values fitness and wants to achieve my health goals, finding the right trainer was crucial.

Furthermore, the facilities Maik provides for training are excellent. The equipment is top-notch, and the workout space is clean and well-maintained. He ensures a safe and comfortable environment, which is crucial for an effective workout. In conclusion, training with Maik Wiedenbach has been a transformative experience for me. His expertise, passion, professionalism, and personalized approach make him an outstanding personal trainer.

If you're looking to achieve your health and fitness goals with a dedicated and knowledgeable professional, I wholeheartedly recommend Maik Wiedenbach in New York City. Thank you, Maik, for your exceptional service and for pushing me to become the best version of myself.

Fantastic experience: I've been training here with Maik and Alex for close to 3 months and I have only positive things to say. The Trainers & Their Approach: - Their emphasis on no-BS, scientifically backed, sustainable training practices and realistic goal-setting, all tailored around your specific abilities, experience, and schedule, is really refreshing - You can't go wrong with any of the trainers here - having trained with several, I can attest that they've all been highly knowledgeable and encouraging, and know how to push me safely - My work hours are fairly demanding and they've always been flexible regarding scheduling around that + tailoring workouts to take advantage of the limited time I have away from the desk. The Gym: - The gym itself is also phenomenal. It's packed with high-end, custom-made equipment that feels – and in many cases, is quite literally – brand new - The best part is that even at its busiest, the gym is never uncomfortably or unmanageably full; I've never had to wait for someone to wrap up with a machine so I can use it With just a few months of twice-weekly 1-hour sessions, I've made more progress toward my fitness goals with Maik and Alex's help than I ever had on my own or with a multitude of other trainers at other gyms. Can't recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: I had been trying and failing at being consistent for years until I worked with Trainer Alex Rios at this gym. If you’re looking for an encouraging, no BS environment combined with highly educated personal trainers who tailor training to your specific needs look no further. They don’t have a single treadmill here and that makes it the best setup possible because you’ll never see people on their phones - everyone is laser focused on training and pushing themselves and it’s incredibly motivating. My trainer held me accountable and combined with dieting, working out with him helped me lose 35 lbs in 4 months. Totally worth the investment!

Fantastic experience: Run, don’t walk! This place is amazing. All the trainers are top notch, the facilities have the best equipment and are always very well kept. Training here has changed my life, I showed up with aches and pains and now I feel the strongest I’ve ever felt. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Very nice place, top professional equipment and team. I am really recommending it. A must see

Fantastic experience: Amazing, pristine, top of the line fitness studio. Maik & stuff very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. Great environment!

Fantastic experience: One of a kind set up- The Gym is a spotless and true work of art. All the trainers are excellent. Everyone there is humble, and meets you where you are each time you walk in the room, helping you on your journey to a better physical and mental life. I’ve been working with Jay and he has been outstanding.

Fantastic experience: Amazing team and facility - no doubt best equipment and trainers in NYC!!!

Fantastic experience: The absolute best in the business! Maik and team are strategic and thoughtful about developing a plan for quick results. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: When I first discovered Maik's gym about 3 months ago, I was a lap swimmer struggling with neck pain and had zero knowledge about strength training. But now I can confidently say that working out with my trainer-Jay, is always the highlight of my week. Under Jay's tutelage, I have been gradually working on the weaker parts of my body and getting a little stronger each time we meet. I still often struggle with some of the exercises but Jay always find adjustments and adapt the workout to me. He doesn't only challenge me during our sessions but also inspire me to make changes in my life that have brought me better physical health. I feel like I have only just started my fitness journey and that I still have a long long way to go, but I am glad that I will do so with the expertise of the trainers from Maik's gym.

Fantastic experience: Great guys, great gym

Fantastic experience: An amazing PT experience. Very attentive and bespoke work outs. I was working in NYC for a week and Maik and his team managed to fit me in with one session a day and I left with more muscle tone and better posture and well being. I can’t wait to go back!

Fantastic experience: Over the years, I have tried many gyms but nothing took to me. I opted for personal training in New York as a last sought option. However, working with Maik Wiedenbach helped me gain my confidence back and ensured I reached my goals. He challenges and raises you every time and encourages you to do better and better. If you are looking for exercises for weight loss, he will put you through creative ways from strength training. He will also let you get nutrition counselling in NYC for your holistic development. His space makes you feel comforted, safe and nurtured and would definitely recommend you to try them out.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Maik Wiedenbach and his team of trainers more. They listened to my goals, took into account my experience, assessed my current condition, and as a result provide custom programs about every 4-6 weeks. This combined with assistance on my nutrition regime gives me more motivation and energy to keep working hard. Plus, it’s a lot of fun to exercise with the bespoke equipment in their gym!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Maik Wiedenbach for some time now and his excellent expertise have provided me with a healthy lifestyle overall. I got to try various types of equipment and he introduced me to some amazing workout. He is one of the best fitness trainer in NYC. Not only did Maik keep me safe from injuring myself, but was also an amazing spiritual and emotional support in my life. He has provided me with all the motivations I needed to reach all my goals, making him my fitness trainer has been one of my best decisions since I have moved to New York.

Fantastic experience: TLDR: If you want the best and are serious about your training, go to Maik. I've worked with many trainers in my time -- from boutique gyms, group training, to individual trainers. Through my search, I can say that Maik is the best trainer I have ever worked with so far and here's why: 1) Tailored Plans: There are many personal trainers out there and most of them do not have the expertise to work with specific goals. Sure - any training is better than nothing, but if your goal is to achieve a certain aesthetic and to do so efficiently, you have to go to Maik. He tailors the plan based on your goals and if you stick to it, the progress follows. 2) Knowledge: Maik has a wealth of knowledge and no nonsense attitude when it comes to building muscle and diet. I can easily say that majority of trainers learn what they need to in order to attain their license and perhaps not much after that. In my first few sessions with Maik, I have learned so much. His concepts are nuanced because they are based on a combination of science and experience. Too many trainers base their training plans purely on the anecdotal but that's not going to work for everyone. And speaking of his experience, it leads me to my third point. 3) Credentials: As a bodybuilder and Olympian swimmer, Maik has gone through all of the discipline and training in order to achieve the highest level or fitness and athleticism. Many trainers do not have these credentials. Sure, being a high level athlete doesn't automatically make you a great personal trainer but given #1 and #2, having these credentials really lends to the credibility. Anyway If you are truly serious about your goals, you really need to visit Maik and his team. Other than the points above: - The gym has the best equipment -- many which I've never seen and are custom made from Germany. It's also very spacious and is never too crowded - Everyone is very friendly and it's not an intimidating environment. To keep things fair, if I had to call out any negatives: -This style of training is not for everyone. It's not a place to only sit and chat or complain about your exercise. -It's a no frills place when it comes to amenities - but I would say the quality of training, expertise, and equipment greatly overcome this - Lack of cardio equipment (specifically a treadmill (I'm biased as a runner)) - there's a rower but that's about it. In Maik's defense, it is not what he specializes in. Why cast a mediocre wide net?

Fantastic experience: I play Australian Rules football in New York and was looking for trainers who can help me build muscle to enjoy the most amazing contact sport in the safest way possible. Maik and his crew are the right ones! They understand anyone's needs and only care about the client's goals. You can see it when you arrive at the gym: the environment is set to build confidence – welcoming, simple, clean, super friendly, and with the best equipment you can find in Town. Now I'm able to be wisely physical on the field, they take care of me at the gym and when I travel, and they've even supported me in improving and enjoying posture on and off the pitch. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I usually don't write reviews for PT training. All of them tend to be average. However, Mike system of trainers and workouts stands out from the ordinary. Not only is his equipment A class but his routines truly, truly, truly hits every part of the body. If you are serious about workout and getting results this is the best place for you. To me his prices are fair most other places are much more insane for Manhattan. A class trainers and A class training.

Fantastic experience: This is hands down one of the best personal gyms you can go to! The team is made up of a great group of guys who all know exactly what they are talking about and know what they are doing and will fully work with you and your schedule! Maik’s gym was such a great place to go train especially on days when I wasn’t feeling my best! Amazing gym atmosphere for those who are new comers and to those who have been training for a while Fully recommend for anyone who is interested in personal training 12/10.

Fantastic experience: I began training with Maik & Hillel a few months ago in May and I've seen tremendous results in that time. I've put on several pounds of muscle and I feel stronger and healthier throughout my days and nights. I'm also learning more about the right way to workout and build muscle. Maik really knows his stuff and he will guide you in a way that helps you achieve your desired goals. I'm much much stronger than I was in May :) The custom equipment is also top notch :) And all of the trainers in his employ are very cool and friendly. I highly recommend Maik Wiedenbach Personal Training!

Fantastic experience: You will find yourself to choose from many personal training gyms in New York. Personal training gave me a lot of motivation to continue my fitness regime. Maik Wiedenbach pushes hard to get us reach our goals. He is not only knowledgeable but also extremely professional. He personalised my workout which target the areas which I particularly wanted to work on. He also made me try a variety of exercises which I could also do at home, when I was off from gym. He is one of the best in New York, if you really want to work on your goals, he is the man to go to.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a trainer in NYC who will put my health first while pushing my limits to get me to a place where I will feel happy with my body in a safe way. Beside the fact he has great reviews from his customers I found out he is an NYU professor, Olympian, two-time World Cup and Olympic-level swimmer. I decided to give him a chance and I am very happy I did. He is very professional, work out a diet and training base on your goals and your body type.The gym has the most well equipped machines I totally adore to work on. He has a team of trainers to work with who are excellent, I have the honor to work with one of them time to time and it just make the whole experience more exciting. I love the fact the private gym offer free bottle of water and even some small good protein bar/snack for his customers. It shows how much he cares about his customers and wanna make sure they 100% taking care of and satisfy. it has been a month I started and I can see already some results and can feel my body getting stronger and stronger by the week. I am more motivated than ever and I owe this to Maik and his team. This is a great investment I will never regret. If you are serious about getting healthy and in a better shape, this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: Training with Maik has been, hands down, the best decision I ever made. Went from not being able to complete my first training session to looking forward to each session while greatly improving my strength, health, and overall confidence. So lucky to have found such a safe and nurturing space with best PT's around. Cannot recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and great trainers. Professional, knowledgeable, and nice. The gym itself has some of the newest and coolest bodybuilding equipment that you can’t even find at some the most expensive gyms in the city. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Maik and his team for the past 3 months 3 times a week and I have seen amazing results so far. I am very happy with the level of service and knowledge provided. I get an exponentially better workout in with him than when I go to any gym by myself. I highly recommend you give him a try.

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Maik Wiedenbach’s fitness training sessions to anyone look for a fitness instructor in NYC who can not only motivate but also provide personal attention. Maik is known for his vast experience in the area of fitness and sports which he uses to develop customized sessions for his clients. He does not recommend any kind of unhealthy supplements or fad diets or costly medicines to his clients. Not only this, he incorporates nutrition counseling to ensure that his clients eat better and exercise right to get the desired fitness results. He is superb and the best fitness trainer in New York.

Fantastic experience: My search for a good personal trainer near me ended when I joined Maik Wiedenbach's training sessions. He is one of the best personal training coaches in New York and believes in helping his clients achieve their fitness goals without resorting to any kind of fad diets. He focuses on helping his clients overcome their mental and physical blocks by guiding them through different types of exercises. His vast knowledge and experience in the field of sports and fitness allow him to understand the problems faced by his clients and recommend schedules that work for them well. I don't think anyone a find a better personal trainer in NYC.

Fantastic experience: If you are not worried about the cost, this is the best possible trainer and gym. The trainers are really professional and helpful. They are very invested in your fitness. I had a wonderful experience here. I would highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I've been training via Zoom with Maik since the spring. When I started I had limited mobility and a right shoulder so bad I was considering surgery. I was lost in where to take my workouts. Six months later the results speak for themselves - I've not only realized huge gains, but my shoulder feels twenty years younger. Maik is the consummate professional and a fantastic guide in the world of personal fitness.

Fantastic experience: Voted best trainer in NYC for a reason! Professional, Knowledgable, science-based and puts the client first. I return to Maik every few years to update my routine, check my form, get re-motivated. First class Trainer and a class act all around. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I'm 72 years old. Living in Sweden. Trained consistently for seven years. Experiences from a number of personal trainers. And it's quite clear; I wish I lived in NYC. Maik Wiedenbach is phenomenal. Scientific. Offers valuable tips on both IG, FB and Youtube. His training app can be recommended. Maik is down to earth and anatomically very knowledgeable. All PTs should follow.

Fantastic experience: If you have any fitness goals and are looking for the best team of people, and you are NOT with Maik, you are wasting ur time. Maik and his team are the best, most realistic and factual team you can ever associate yourself with. One look at my body frame and Maik told me what workouts would be most beneficial to my build and which ones would be simply wasting my time. 2 months in, my friends and family are taking major notice at da gainz!! I feel my best. It’s also never about their success, it’s about their clients, and I feel that. It’s about learning how to execute exercises, learning the science behind it, and being able to do it yourself! Currently out of town for the holidays and doing a written program just for me with minimal equipment, and since I know how to do them because of his previous guidance, I’m not spending a cent until I get back to the city and feel like I want to do a day a week with him at the gym. It’s long term success, not “you need me to succeed and stay in shape.” I’m a student, so obviously finances are to be kept in check. Maik and his team are up there with the best decisions I have ever made. If you’re serious about getting in shape, get in touch with him.

Fantastic experience: Better body after baby. After my second child I couldn't get back in shape. I tried my old cardio routines but they did not work this time. I have a vague idea I need to do weights to gain muscle, but I don't know how. Luckily I found Maik. I was impressed after my first session with him. First, cleanliness. He wipes equipment with disinfectant after each use. Second, he understands body/muscle (he's an Olympic swimmer). He asked me if I had injury at an area before. How did he know! Third, science-based muscle building. He teaches you proper forms targeting my problem areas using custom built equipment. Fourth, professionalism. Conversations flow easily. Fifth, he follows up with in-home exercises and diet advice. Now half a year in, I've lost 10lbs weight, gained significant strength and look and feel healthy. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: My search for a personal trainer in New York who could also counsel me about my food habits and the required changes ended when I met Maik Wiedenbach. Offering the best personal training in NYC, Maik has years of experience in sports and muscle building. What I liked about him was that he first tried to understood my requirements, my life style and the structure of my body before putting me into the grind. Instead of recommending any kind of fad diets, he asked me to incorporate more healthy and nutritious foods in my daily routine besides being regular with my fitness sessions with me.

Fantastic experience: Maik and team know what they are doing! I have been coming here and working for over a year. They added so many great quality equipments in that time. The trainers actually know what they are doing and always provide very informative answers to my questions. It’s been an absolute pleasure to see this place grow.

Fantastic experience: I have been trying to find the best personal training or Personal Training GYM in NYC.  I finally have! I chose this place as my personal training gym in NYC as he would always change what we were working on and vary the exercises each time to keep it more interesting and challenging. I have gained so much knowledge from him and his experience as well as the physical gains. I have been training personally with him for a while now and have found him to be very easy to get on with. If you are looking for personal training in New York, you have definitely found the right place!

Fantastic experience: Maik and his team are wonderful. The gym equipment is out of this world and the coaching is top class. I’ve been lifting for over a decade and have been really happy with the gains I’ve made with Maik. Highly recommend! Some plateau-breaking, gain-making geniuses!

Fantastic experience: My search for a personal trainer near me who could provide specialized training for females ended when I got in touch with Maik Wiedenbach. He not only understood my requirements but also developed a special fitness routine according to my physique and lifestyle. I am so happy with the results that I will recommend him to anyone who wishes to find a personal trainer in NYC. His years of experience in the sports field and his unique approach to help people become fit has made people seek him for personal training in New York.

Fantastic experience: Maik is the real deal. Highly professional. His focus on technique and form has helped correct a lot of mistakes I didn't know I was making. And after only 6 weeks I'm beginning to see the difference. He makes himself available for questions when out of the gym. And speaking of the gym, his equipment and machines are fantastic. They're all just a little different enough than average but those small differences always leave me feeling it more the next day.

Fantastic experience: My search for a customized fitness program ended when I approached Maik Wiedenbach, the best personal trainer in NYC.  He not only checked about my lifestyle, eating habits, occupation and medical history but also enquired about my fitness goals before designing a personal training program keeping in mind by physique. What I really liked about his personal training program in NYC was that instead of putting me directly into a rigorous training he told me to start slow and gradually increase the intensity. I would certainty recommend him to all those looking for a good personal trainer in New York.

Fantastic experience: Maik Wiedenbach is, indeed, the best personal trainer in NYC. Period. I am a now retired semi-competitive long-distance runner. I traded my running shoes for dumbbells and cable weights this summer after a bad winter and spring of running injuries and the worst weight gain I have ever experienced (thanks, COVID and anti-maskers). I was very demoralized with my lack of a fitness routine and overall appearance since I have always been an active and fit person. Once I made the decision of investing my time and money into a personal trainer, I definitely did my homework. I was impressed with the reviews, Maik’s YouTube channel (hit it up because it is smart, clear info) and other social media accounts, and his history as a TRUE international athlete and an academic at NYU. If you choose to train with Maik and his team (shout out to Shane O’Dwyer!), you will be taught by experts who will lead you with science, discipline, kindness, camaraderie, and the utmost professionalism. There is no “bro” grunting, show-off culture to be found here. Maik’s impressive gym on E 57th has all the best equipment, it’s never full (which makes me feel safe and at ease), and I always see people of all shapes, sizes, ages, and genders there doing their best. It is very welcoming, as it should be because weightlifting and training are definitely intimidating at first, especially for a novice like me. I was looking for a trainer that wasn’t obsessed with social media fads or bogus diets, but one who cares about explaining the exercises via common sense, science-backed methodologies, nutritional guidance, and with personalized check-ins during the week to follow progress. I am almost two months into weekly training with Maik and Shane. I have already lost most of the belly fat I want gone and I can see muscle gains I never thought my skinny runner’s build could ever attain. I cannot recommend Maik Wiedenbach enough. My god!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a great personal trainer look no further than Maik and his team! Maik is very professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He will make sure you are doing the correct form for every workout and can answer any questions you have about the workout, fitness, dieting, etc. The gym is never crowded, very clean, and has the best equipment featuring a variety of machines and unique grips / handles that really help you target the specific muscles in each workout.

Fantastic experience: Maik and his team are excellent. I would recommend them to anyone - beginner or experienced - as they tailor each workout and diet regimen to the individual client. They are also very good educators who help you understand how to improve technique to make the most of your time in any gym.

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a great personal trainer, you found one! I started training with Maik when I moved to the city a few months ago, and I’m never looking back. He and his team are really focused on everyone who comes in as an individual, and they do an excellent job of keeping your form and routines in check. The gym itself is uncrowded and clean, and the equipment is absolutely top notch. Definite recommendation if you’re ready to see results!

Fantastic experience: Training with Maik and team has been a remarkable learning experience. Even though it has only been 6 weeks, I have never felt better and more confident about my health in my life. Maik's training program is very well-structured, so it allows me to come prepared and learn a lot about the science behind each exercise routines. His focus on perfect execution and active range of motion have really helped me feel accomplished rather than tired/overwhelmed after each training session. I feel very fortunate that I have found the BEST personal trainer in NYC. I'd highly recommend Maik and team to anyone who is looking for transformation in their lives.

Fantastic experience: The very best personal trainer in NYC hands down. Maik is a complete professional, deeply understands his craft, and makes it accessible and understandable. I genuinely enjoy each and every time I come into his gym to workout. His equipment is best in class. I know I'm getting the best guidance and training there is and getting the results to prove it.

Fantastic experience: A few months ago, I started researching Personal Trainers in New York and my search luckily lead me to reach out to Maik (who was highly recommended). I’ve been going to they gym for years, but have never truly learned about strength training and was interested in advancing my health and fitness. Since starting training with Maik and team, I have truly enjoyed (and been so impressed by) the entire experience! The gym is top notch with excellent equipment and a really welcoming environment. Maik and Jay (who I have worked with during many of my sessions), are extremely knowledgeable, encouraging, terrific at explaining the technique and science behind strength training and offering the best advice to achieve your goals. If you are looking for an excellent Personal Trainer, I’d highly recommend reaching out to them. Thanks Maik, Jay, and team!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Maik Wiedenbach for over a year now and believe that he is the best personal trainer in New York. Loved the fact that this personal trainer near me did not offer me any nutritional supplements or harmful drugs to achieve quick results. Rather he asked extensive questions about my lifestyle, health issues, diet, occupation, fitness goals and studied my physique to identify muscular imbalances, if any. On the basis of this, he set some fitness milestones for me and started my training.  One of the best places to go for personal training in New York near my residence, his health club in Midtown has all the necessary equipment to help us work out.

Fantastic experience: Maik has created a gym that keeps me coming back for more. I am about a month into my journey, and I have already noticed a dramatic improvement in my strength and my mobility (shoulder and hip issues). Not only is my fitness routine coming back to life (after spending most of the pandemic glued to a chair or couch), but I am making healthier decisions in no small part due to Maik's training program.

Fantastic experience: I’ve never seriously weight lifted before and was always intimidated/overwhelmed by the idea. When I first met with Maik, he explained to me what muscle groups we were working on, as well as the best exercise/equipment to achieve my goals. He and his team are always positive, motivating and just overall nice guys that actually care about your well-being inside and outside the gym. I know looking for a personal trainer can be overwhelming at the onset, so I would recommend Maik and his team to anyone who is looking to just start on their fitness journey - or anyone who is an experienced athlete to looking get back into fitness. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great trainers and great gym. They put together a program for me to fit my specific needs, as well as a meal plan. Love the equipment they have at the gym, you can't find it anywhere else in the city.
