Physical Culture Brooklyn

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing service! I'm working with June Rivera and she's created an individualized program for me to keep me at my best. I'm a mother, a professional dancer and a registered nurse, in my 40s. I'm going through perimenopause and recently had musculoskeletal changes with a hamstring tear and rotator cuff tear/retraction, requiring surgical repair. June has not only strengthened my body but restored my confidence. I'm eternally grateful to her. I'm thrilled to sing her praises.

Fantastic experience: As someone who could have been described as a casual lifter at big box gyms, I was initially unsure Physical Culture would be right for me. Half a year later, I can report that joining has been the greatest boon to my strength and confidence with a value well worth the price tag. The gym itself is a fantastic and clean space with the right amount of every piece of equipment you could reasonably need. But the coaching seals the deal. I work with John Tracey and he puts together thoughtful routines based on my needs and abilities every other month, making tweaks as needed. My gains have been symmetrical and I’ve developed confidence to perform lifts I never would’ve tried otherwise. I can’t always make it in when John is coaching the floor, but I’ve gotten to know all the amazing coaches and know I can rely on them to give me pointers. In addition to their training acumen, the coaches have great emotional intelligence and know exactly how to help and motivate each individual with a light touch. It’s a smart system that works extremely well thanks to the people who run it.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for nearly three years now and it is one of the best gyms I've ever been to. What really makes it is are the coaches. This isn't a typical gym where you walk in anonymously, use some machines, and walk out. This is a gym where you work with a coach, you get a personalized training program, and you get coaching/advice when you're working out (if you need/want it). I've gotten to know a number of the coaches over the years and they're all good people who have the interest of their clients at heart. The gym has a great selection of equipment, but not many machines. That is a good thing in my eyes. Working with free weights has always been my preferred workout. They do have a few machines to help with cardio (rower, ski erg, assault bike). The gym has a great culture. The clients and the coaches are very friendly, helpful, and attentive. If you're looking to get some help getting a workout routine going, get some accountability, and just get into fitness in general, this is a great place. I recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I started my fitness journey at Physical Culture in Fall 2023. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. This is not your regular gym, it’s a wonderful community of people who care about you and your fitness journey. When you join the gym you are assigned a coach that creates your exercise program for you based on your goals etc. I think having someone do that for you is so helpful. I’ve been working with Coach Steve since last May and I love learning from him. He is a tough task master and that is exactly what I was looking for. He motivates me enough to overcome my fears in the gym. I’m a newbie to weight lifting and with him as my guide I’ve had so many successful firsts. I love the energy he brings to the floor and how he cares for his clients. I’ve engaged with various floor coaches, and people working out and everyone is helpful and wanting you to win. It’s a great positive environment and I always leave the gym feeling tired but happier and having accomplished something. If you are looking for a team that’s knowledgeable, caring and friendly, Physical Culture is your gym. I’m excited to learn from and grow stronger and healthier with coach Steve over the next few years.

Fantastic experience: If you’re serious about making real progress—no matter your goals—this is the place to be. The coaches here are top-notch: highly competent, genuinely attentive, and always friendly. They know how to push you without overwhelming you, and it’s clear they’re invested in your success. I’ve seen measurable improvements since I started, thanks in large part to the individual attention I’ve received. The entire operation is well run and organized, with no surprises. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I started going to Physical Culture for over 2+ years now. My goal was to pass the new Army Combat Fitness Test. I had a consultation with Brian & he paired me with Coach Zack ( former military). He curated a program for me to condition my body to be ready for that 6-event test which is reminiscent of CrossFit. With Zack's guidance & motivation, I passed the test far beyond what I thought I could do. I love going to PC, all the clients & coaches are very nice. Its a friendly environment & a nice vibe. They make you feel like you're apart of the family. Not to mention all the extra curricular activities they offer, BBQs, Softball team, retreats, & killer Holiday Parties .

Fantastic experience: I feel lucky to have found this gym because it's both welcoming and motivating every time I walk in. I've really enjoyed working with Coach Zach. He's helped me build strength and increase mobility. I also love the community they've built - It makes for a fun and supportive atmosphere. Go check it out for yourself!

Fantastic experience: After trying numerous gyms over the years that were either overcrowded or too focused on the social scene, Physical Culture is exactly what I was looking for. I've been a member for almost a year, and it's got a great mix of serious training and genuine community. Special mention to my trainer June, who has been exceptional in helping me work around chronic back issues. Getting form right is crucial, and June's expertise has helped me build strength more effectively than previous physical therapy, while actually reducing my pain levels. The gym has great equipment and helpful trainers across the board. It's a place where you can focus on your goals while knowing there's solid support when you need it.

Fantastic experience: Busy with work and a new father, former CrossFitter, I was tired of wasting time on workouts that didn’t drive real progress. I needed convenience, precision and effective workouts. I work with Coach Steve, and couldn’t recommend him more. Personalized programs, tailors things based on your schedule (traveling, time constraints) and reacts exceptionally well to training feedback. The gym equipment is solid (would like that assault runner and a full rope!), but the coach makes it for me. We have introduced several friends to the gym and they love it as well.

Fantastic experience: I became a client because I wanted to take my personal fitness to the next level, and I began to see results almost immediately. I work with Coach Steve, and thanks to his tailored and attentive approach I'm becoming stronger and improving faster than I ever would have otherwise. It's a great community that will make you look forward to every workout!

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve ever gone to. Great personalized coaching, and very mindful if you have any injuries etc. that you need to work around. I’m in the best shape of my 30s after a few months here. Coach Steve is the man

Fantastic experience: I’ve had an amazing experience at Physical Culture Brooklyn! It is clean, well maintained, and equipped with everything you need for a great workout. A special shoutout to coach Shy. Her expertise, dedication, and encouragement has made all the difference in my fitness journey. Coach Shy tailors workouts to my individual needs, pushes me to achieve my best, and always creates a positive and motivating environment. If you’re looking for a special gym with great dedicated coaches and a supportive community, I highly recommend Physical Culture Brooklyn. Thank you for helping me stay consistent and reach my goals!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with top notch facilities and trainers. I have been working with Steve Reyes for a few months and he is the best trainer I have come across. Highly recommend for anybody looking to achieve a fitness goal, regardless of fitness level/experience

Fantastic experience: I love Physical Culture - it’s a great community and all of the trainers meet you where you’re at with respect to skill level.

Fantastic experience: As someone who has been a part of the Physical Culture’s community for many years, I can say with certainty that this gym is truly special. I first discovered Physical Culture back in my freshman year of high school, and from the very beginning, the team of coaches there have been incredible mentors to me. Over the course of my time getting to know them, they have consistently gone above and beyond to support my fitness journey and personal growth. Their passion for helping others reach their full potential is matchless, and they have always been there for me, cheering me on and providing vital guidance every step of the way. Now, as a strength coach with Physical Culture myself, I can say that being a part of this team has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The sense of community and camaraderie is unmatched, and I am constantly in awe of the transformative work we are able to do together. Whether you are a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, I cannot recommend Physical Culture highly enough. The coaches are truly top-notch, and the programming is innovative and effective. If you are looking for a gym that will push you to become the best version of yourself, look no further than Physical Culture!!

Fantastic experience: Had the pleasure of working out here for about six months before moving, and absolutely loved it. It was my first time at a small, more specialized gym like this and it's ruined me for the standard, sprawling, crowded gyms I'm used to. For one thing, the trainers are always helpful and friendly. Checking form, giving you a spot, anything you need. You'll also be assigned a trainer who sets you up with workouts and charts a schedule, which I really loved (mine was John, he was great). Saying it feels like "family" is a little cheesy, but there was a much more personable vibe with everyone there, including the others who worked out there. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: You can tell the owner of this business really cares about the culture of their employees! It’s refreshing to see a business that cares more about people than making money!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Steve for a month now and it’s been the best experience I’ve ever had with a trainer. Steve writes personalized workouts that cater to my goals and limitations and have lead to real progress. He’s mindful of my injury history and has not only designed workouts that work around my limitations, but has helped me strengthen the areas that have caused injuries, which has made my body feel overall a lot better. Also an all around great guy who checks in frequently and takes a real vested interest in his clients. 10/10!!

Fantastic experience: Physical Culture is an EXPERIENCE. You can tell as soon as you walk through the door that there is a shift in mindset. Now is the time to get to work and leave any problems at the door. Despite different backgrounds and professions under one roof, all participants are dedicated to getting 1% better and embodying the mindset of a high performer with every session. What to expect: An environment that is welcoming, a facility that is clean, and coaches that are supportive. Education on nutrition, hydration, and the importance of rest and recovery. Monthly check ins to track progress towards your personal goals and fun social outings. Great Physical Culture gear for sale, as well as protein shakes, and healthy snacks. In my own experience: I came to Physical Culture when it was known as Opex South Brooklyn. When I began, I was 220 lbs and released 45lbs with their support. I gained muscle, recovered from an injury and felt incredible. I even got back into doing pull ups which I hadn't done since college. This is a great place for anyone who is dedicated towards their goals and ready to make a difference in their own life. I have referred three friends to this gym and they all have had great experiences of their own.

Fantastic experience: Had an overwhelmingly positive experience at Physical Culture with Zach! As a busy gym owner myself it was hard to carve the time out for fitness. Being a lifetime athlete I wanted to learn something new coach Zach and Steve showed me the ins and outs of oly lifting. highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Physical Culture (formerly OPEX) for over 3 years and I cannot speak positively enough about my experience. As someone who has always been active and regularly gone to the gym, I have never been more satisfied with my fitness and physique as I am now, first working with coach Chantel and more recently with John. All of their coaches are knowledgable, professional, and approachable, and I really appreciate the team's dedication to providing individualized programs and assistance, for people of all experience levels and backgrounds. While you can get a tough workout via group classes or something like Crossfit, Physical Culture provides personalized programming and can adapt to your goals, acute or chronic injuries, nutrition, etc., and for me that has made a huge difference. Thanks to the PC team!

Fantastic experience: Physical Culture is such a welcoming and positive place. All the coaches embrace beginners and seasoned lifters, young and old, all body types. As a middle-aged parent with a demanding job, who only began strength training 1.5 years ago, I am so grateful for the trainers, who are non-judgmental, helpful, smart, and encouraging, and take me as seriously as they do the lifelong lifters in the gym. The other members are friendly and embracing. The atmosphere is fun and sociable. My coach, Chantel, is super knowledgeable and fun, and has worked hard to meet me where I am and progress me. She also guides me about health and nutrition to support my health. I can imagine myself continuing working out at Physical Culture for years and years.

Fantastic experience: Physical Culture is the best gym in Brooklyn! I have worked out here for 2+ years and have gained strength and mobility beyond my expectations. An amazing culture and expert coaches, especially my coach, Zack. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: Been a member of physical culture for a little over a year now and have nothing but great things to say. I’ve been weightlifting for many years and there’s no place like this gym. I’ve now found a place that meets my needs for equipment and space as a gym-goer and found an incredible community of coaches like Zack, June and John and the amazing members who create the atmosphere that makes the gym so special. Being here as been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in the gym.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Physical Culture and working with June for almost 2 years. Since then, not only has my body had a huge transformation, but my community has grown. As a former professional performer, I accepted chronic injuries and endless rehab as part of my daily life. June created programing for me that speaks to my unique recovery needs as well as helped me reimagine my relationship to my movement, body composition, strength, and BJJ training. I've never felt better or more confident in how I feel and look. When I'm in the gym, I get support not only from June, but the other coaches as well and the other members have welcomed me with warm smiles and wide arms. Out of 5 stars, I give 'em 10.

Fantastic experience: I used to dread going to the gym and I would stick to the elliptical or treadmill to avoid feeling out of place. But Physical Culture changed my mindset and attitude. It's not just a gym; it's a community that feels more like home than a workout spot. From day one, I felt welcomed, not intimidated. The coaches are incredible – friendly, approachable, and genuinely invested in your progress. They've turned what used to feel like a chore into something I genuinely look forward to and I love hanging out with them on the floor (my husband might say a little too much). And now I’ll sing the praises of Coach Chantel, so get ready. I’ve been working with Chantel since I joined almost 3 years ago, and she is an incredible coach and human. With her guidance, I learned that I can in fact lift weights, squat with a barbell, and do push-ups. Another reviewer stated it perfectly – her approach strikes the perfect balance of meeting you where you are, while challenging you at the same time. When I found out I was pregnant, I was anxious about working out, but Chantel was there every step of the way, adjusting my workouts to keep me safe and strong throughout each stage of my pregnancy. She didn't just help me through pregnancy – she supported me during post-partum recovery, helping me basically put my body back together and rebuild my confidence. She was one of the key pieces of my support system and I genuinely believe I wouldn't have had the strength and stamina to get through labor and recovery without her in my corner. And most importantly, she's shown me how to be a strong role model for my daughter – teaching her that women are powerful and capable of crushing weights! Physical Culture isn't just a gym. It's where I've found strength, support, and a sense of belonging. If you're looking for a place where you're more than just another gym member and want to hang out with cool people, this is it!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Physical Culture since July 2023, and it’s been a total game changer. I did a lot of strength training before the pandemic and loved it but had trouble finding a gym that was supportive, had great community, felt non-judgmental, and had excellent coaching/programming. Coach Chantel puts together easy-to-follow workouts that I can do on my own. If I need help, there’s always a coach on the floor to support me. I’ve gotten so much stronger and more confident in the last 10 months, and I’ve also met some fantastic people! I highly recommend Physical Culture.

Fantastic experience: My experience at Physical Culture has been enjoyable and comfortable. The environment is open and clean, and there is always a coach on the floor to answer any questions. Working with Coach John Tracey has been both challenging and enjoyable. John takes a holistic and individualized approach to creating workout plans and providing feedback and guidance on optimizing nutrition and lifestyle according to a person's personal goals. I can personally attest that since working with John, I have seen a significant change in my physique, performance, and overall health. John regularly checks in to ensure the workouts are yielding positive results, and if not, he will make necessary adjustments. He is encouraging and supportive, and I highly recommend him as a knowledgeable coach and amazing person to work with.

Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough about my experience at Physical Culture and the amazing personal coaching provided by John Tracey. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the warm and inviting atmosphere of the gym. John is the real deal. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in his craft, but his passion for helping clients reach their fitness goals is palpable. Every session with John is tailored to my specific needs and preferences, ensuring that I get the most out of my workouts while also having FUN in the process. His encouragement and support have been instrumental in keeping me motivated and accountable on my fitness journey. The sense of camaraderie among members is also something to behold. Unlike larger gyms where you might feel lost in the crowd, Physical Culture fosters a tight-knit community where everyone supports and encourages each other. It's not uncommon to see members cheering each other on or sharing tips and advice, creating a positive and uplifting environment that makes working out enjoyable. If you're looking for a personalized fitness experience that goes above and beyond your expectations, look no further. Joining Physical Culture and working with John has been one of the best decisions I've made for my health and well-being!

Fantastic experience: Coach John has been a tremendous asset to my fitness for two years. I came to the gym as a middle aged lifter struggling through injuries from my own bad habits and poor programming. John helped to navigate around these setbacks and enabled me to keep working towards my body recomposition goals. He is immediately responsive, always, and is genuinely invested in both my processes and outcomes. I value his perspectives on strength training, nutrition, recovery, and general wellness. John is one of my best allies in living the strong, competitive, and healthful life I want to live. Unlike all other gyms I have belonged to, I never find myself waiting to use the equipment that I want, when I want it, and the entire team of coaches makes it a special place.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I joined Physical Culture 18 months ago and it’s had a transformational impact on our lives. We’re 40-something parents of two young kids and it’s historically been hard for us to build the habit of consistently working out. Zack and Chantel create personalized workouts for us that meet us where we’re at and yield results without spending forever in the gym. Steve, John, Brian, June, Francesco all coach and encourage us even through they’re not our dedicated trainers. The accountability and community helps us show up on the days when we’d otherwise find an excuse not to. The space is the best gym in the neighborhood: all the equipment you need and never feels crowded.

Fantastic experience: Physical culture is such a great place to workout! The coaches are very attentive and knowledgeable. Coach Steve has been my coach for a while and I’ve made tremendous growth with him. Thanks to his coaching I’ve been able to complete long duration physical activity such as hiking 17,000 feet in elevation, train for a local powerlifting competition, heal from an injury and prevent future issues, loose weight for health concerns etc. Literally he has been able to support and accommodate my workouts to each phase of my life! Physical Culture has great equipment and the owners are always investing in new products to make training fun and relevant. Definitely recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at Physical Culture (formerly Opex) since 2019. Going to the gym has always been a big part of my life, and it’s easy for me to say that I’ve seen the best results while working with Coach June in the last 5 years. It’s made such a difference to have training tailored to me, past injuries, and future goals versus a one-size-fits-all class. Coach June is incredibly knowledgeable, easy to work with, and overall just a wonderful person. I travel quite a bit and she is always able to adapt my workouts for the road so that I don’t lose progress. I’ve had two injuries (outside of the gym) while a member, and June has helped me get back to 100 percent both times. I can’t recommend her or Physical Culture enough!

Fantastic experience: Steve is the coach that I've ever had. He has a great understanding of diet and strength training. He structures My workout routines that consistently make me stronger. I started with 135lbs on the bench press and now I'm at 205lbs and doing it multiple reps. When it comes to the deadlifts I went from 145lbs to 315lbs at 6 reps max. He hasn't understanding of the body that I've never seen before and on top of that he's a very good personable person It's the reason why I come to this gym every day.

Fantastic experience: More than a gym. This is a family. Brian, June and the team go over and beyond to create a safe space to move your body, push yourself and have a sense of belonging. The layout and equipment are top notch. But I appreciate being able to workout with new people everytime and push ourselves. As my coach, June has helped transform my relationship with fitness. Challenging me weekly, being adaptable to my needs should they change and supporting me in getting over the line on tough days in a healthy way. I’m much fitter and stronger because of her. Couldn’t recommend a better gym and community.

Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked into the gym to check it out I was blown away. The facility looks great and after asking a few questions and observing the floor clients follows there own programming. I was used to CrossFit group classes and was constantly getting hurt. I’ve been training and following my training from my coach and I have to say I’ve gotten 10x stronger and fitter. Definitely worth it.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at physical culture for just over a year now and have enjoyed every minute. The space, equipment, and staff are all top notch.

Fantastic experience: THE BEST GYM IN BROOKLYN. LOVE TRAINING HERE!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Chantel for almost 3 years now! I first met her a year post partum after my first pregnancy in which I was extremely inactive. I have now worked with her through my second pregnancy and post partum and the difference in energy level, delivery and recovery have been night and day! I am not the easiest client to work with and Chantel has pivoted to meet my needs to help me stay more consistent. I am truly appreciative of the time and energy the team at physical culture brings every day.

Fantastic experience: Had an awesome time working out, especially on my form with Coach John and Brian. Very nice and courteous staff. Space is amazing and clean. Definitely coming back!

Fantastic experience: Words cannot express how thankful I am for this gym and my coach. Before becoming a member I spent 9 months trying to lose weight and “get in shape” again. I tried everything under the sun from HIIT to personal trainers at Blink. I didn’t even get as far as losing 10lbs. Well, after joining the gym and 2-3 months of training consistently I was able to reach my goals ahead of my “deadline.” I’m so excited to see my continued progress!!! And to continue to be a member of this gym. Such a great investment.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for three years. The team has built a program specifically for me that has evolved with my needs, and at 43 years old I’ve genuinely never felt better. The trainers are available for all kinds of health support, fitness and beyond. The gym is also a fun and supportive community in a gem of a space. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with June, rehabbing my knee after a jiu-jitsu injury, for the past several months, and the experience has been incredibly positive, thanks to her expertise and the supportive environment at OPEX. June's extensive knowledge in strength training and sports medicine has been the key factor in my recovery. Her ability to tailor rehabilitation programs to my specific needs has played a crucial role in not only healing my knee but also in strengthening my body as a whole, preparing me for a safe return to jiu-jitsu. Additionally, June's background in jiu-jitsu has been a helpful complement to her primary skills. Her understanding of the sport has ensured that all exercises and rehabilitation techniques are relevant and targeted, providing an added layer of specificity to my recovery process. A particularly noteworthy aspect of working with June has been her adaptability and support during some minor re-injuries I experienced as I began to return to jiu-jitsu. Each time, she quickly and effectively modified our training plan to address these setbacks, demonstrating not just her skill as a trainer but also her deep commitment to my recovery. This adaptive approach helped me maintain progress and morale, even in the face of challenges. June's compassionate approach and her enthusiasm for her clients' progress have been evident in every session. Her ability to explain complex rehabilitation processes in an understandable way has demystified my recovery journey and made the challenges more manageable. The environment at OPEX is also noteworthy. The facility is equipped with everything necessary for a comprehensive rehabilitation experience, and the welcoming atmosphere has greatly enhanced my recovery process. I am deeply grateful for the progress I've achieved under June's guidance. Her expertise in strength training and sports medicine, combined with her understanding of jiu-jitsu and her ability to adapt to changing circumstances, have been indispensable. I highly recommend June to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, empathetic, and effective strength trainer, particularly those recovering from sports injuries. Her holistic and adaptable approach to rehabilitation has been instrumental in my journey back to the sport I love.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this gym! I’ve been a member for 1.5 years and I’ve learned so much, gotten in great shape, and really enjoyed the journey (special thanks to my coach Chantel!). All of the coaches are very knowledgeable, helpful, and motivating. I really like that there a wide range of fitness levels and ages at this gym as well, so it feels both not intimidating and inspiring at the same time. I personally am middle aged with some back issues and weightlifting (correctly!) has definitely helped my back immensely. I’ve learned some valuable lessons from my coach on “listening to my body” as well as nutrition and overall wellness. Added bonus: lifting weights makes you feel like a badass!

Fantastic experience: Best trainers in the business - whatever your goals are (e.g. weight loss / training, sports specific strength & conditioning, competitive powerlifting / Olympic lifting) they’ve got you covered and will push and challenge you to reach your full potential but always with good energy and vibes which is very important. Special shout out to Zack who leads the jiu jitsu strength & conditioning program and has been my trainer for almost 2 years now (time flies) - Cesco, June, Brian, John, and Chantel are fantastic too!

Fantastic experience: Great gym , professional staff . Highly recommend !

Fantastic experience: Opex South BK has been a wonderful experience for me so far. After only 3 months of weight training I can see and feel the results. Chantel, my personal coach, tailors workouts that help to build strength that is specific to my needs. She checks in with me regularly to make sure I’m feeling good about the exercises and also discusses other aspects of healthy living like diet. In addition to having a personal coach, every other coach on the floor knows my name and are hands on to support me during my training. The energy is always uplifting and motivating when I’m there.

Fantastic experience: I love Opex! It’s an amazing gym with amazing trainers and amazing people! I joined about six months ago with the hopes of starting a Fitness journey. Working with trainers like John and Brian I’ve growing a lot stronger and a lot more confident and I’ve come to actually enjoy working out versus it being a chore. I basically get to lift heavy things all day and feel like Wonder Woman. Who wouldn’t want that?!?! If you’re looking for a gym to join, this is 100%, the one you should join!

Fantastic experience: I've been at OPEX for a little over two years and it's really helped me grow in a lot of ways. When I first started working with my coach, Chantel, I struggled with consistency and was really unsure of myself in the gym. Rather than write me off, or go heavy on the "tough love," Chantel listened to me, probably more than I was listening to myself, and reflected it in my programming. Over that first year and a half she helped me build a foundation of consistency by meeting me where I was, but also challenging me in ways that ratcheted up my fitness and my confidence. Two years in, my body is doing way more amazing things than its ever done before, and – yes, this is annoying but true – working with Chantel, and going to OPEX has made a hugely positive impact on my life and health. And while this review is very much a Chantel love-fest, I also have to shout out all the other coaches who are always ready to help with a spot, joke, encouragement or a mechanics question when you need; and all the familiar faces that make the gym a real community. Anyway TL;DR: this is such an amazing gym and group of people, and if you're looking for a review to validate your decision to try it out, then yes, here it is – permission granted! Go do it – call Brian! See you on the floor!

Fantastic experience: My journey at OPEX Brooklyn has been nothing short of transformative. Not only have the coaches created a motivating and empowering atmosphere, but they've also been incredibly supportive during my personal challenges. I was a part of a Volleyball League team during my time at OPEX, and unfortunately, I faced a setback when I tore my Achilles heel. Through the surgery and recovery, Chantel, along with my Physical Therapist, played a pivotal role. Chantel revisited and meticulously adjusted my workouts, focusing on rebuilding the muscles that had atrophied due to the injury. Her expertise and dedication were instrumental in my recovery process. Thanks to Chantel's tailored guidance and the unwavering support from the OPEX community, I not only regained my strength, but surpassed my previous fitness levels. I found myself back on my feet, running, jumping, and lifting heavier weights than ever before. This comeback wouldn't have been possible without the expertise and encouragement I received at OPEX Brooklyn. For anyone looking for not just a gym, but a supportive community that truly cares about your well-being and progress, OPEX Brooklyn is the place to be. The coaches here go above and beyond, ensuring you achieve your goals. I am immensely grateful for my experience here and would recommend OPEX Brooklyn to anyone seeking a fitness journey filled with genuine support and outstanding results!

Fantastic experience: I started working with Coach June in October 2022. Since joining the gym, I've been constantly pushing the limit on all my key lifts. The physical achievements I've made within the past year would have been much more difficult without the knowledge, expertise, and encouragement of the coaches at OPEX. The gym culture is very welcoming, laid back, and super open to any experience level. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I trained postpartum with Coach Chantel. I can't imagine getting through those months without her. She gave me an absolute education on how to move and breathe and recover and regain strength after pregnancy/childbirth had made my body feel weak and foreign. It was life changing, physically and mentally, to have her in my corner.

Fantastic experience: I’m been training at OPEX South Brooklyn for the past 2 years with June and I feel so lucky. It was refreshing to be part of a group that celebrated every milestone, no matter how small, and provided a community of like-minded individuals. One of the biggest factors contributing to my success at OPEX was Coach June <3. She possesses an extensive knowledge of strength training and has a remarkable ability to tailor workouts that suited my specific goals. No coach has ever gotten me to do pull-ups before - and now thanks to June, I can do 6!! Plus, I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun hitting a new PR. OPEX made training not feel like a chore! I am grateful for the support, camaraderie, and challenges over the years, all of which contributed to my growth as an individual and an athlete.

Fantastic experience: This gym has been great for me after a very sedentary pandemic. My coach, Zack, is knowledgeable, approachable and encouraging, and I attribute most of my progress (and lack of injuries) to his thoughtful and dynamic programming. The others who work there are great, too, and they work to foster an inclusive, non-judgmental environment. It's also just a solid, well-equipped place to exercise. After nearly a year, I've seen steady progress and still look forward to my workouts each week.

Fantastic experience: Working with Chantel during my pregnancy and post partem has been so crucial in my recovery! She is attentive to my needs, knowledgeable, thorough and supportive. Highly recommend Chantel and the entire Opex team / facility!

Fantastic experience: I've been working out with Coach Chantel since July 2021. Before joining, I spent a lot of time working out, but was not getting the results that I wanted. I spent a lot of time doing cardio or HIIIT workouts and was simply not getting stronger. In working with Chantel, I've not only learned how to properly build strength, but also about proper form for long term health, nutrition and the impact on body composition, and most recently, she's guided me through my pregnancy. It's not only been rewarding but so much fun!

Fantastic experience: I've been training at OPEX for a year and a half, and I love it. From day 1, I've always felt I belonged there (no matter my age, gender, or experience level). The coaches are so knowledgable and supportive, and they celebrate your accomplishments with you. I'm the strongest I've ever been and I'm feeling confident, both in and out of the gym. And now I know ... weightlifting is fun!

Fantastic experience: OPEX South Brooklyn, with my Coach Francesco, helps me live the life I want to live. Movement has always been a part of my life. I’ve trained in the Martial Arts for over 35 years, run many NYC Marathons, and done CrossFit for almost a decade. In early 2020, I was recovering from chemotherapy and with the start of the pandemic it wasn’t going very well. Once I was connected with Francesco, I started to return to form. His constant check-ins and genuine concern for my wellbeing help me be a better version of myself. The staff and facility is top notch. OPEX is always evolving to provide the best service possible for its clients. The community is welcoming. I love that I have a place where I workout with my wife and son. As I approach 50, I am continuing to develop athletically and able to do Tae Kwon Do better than ever. Thank you, Francesco, June, Brian, Zack, John, Chantel and Dan for all you do. I am forever grateful.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at OPEX for almost 2 years, and it’s been a marvelous journey! I’ve learned a lot about my own strength as well as food choices and recovery elements to take care of myself. And I now feel the strongest and healthiest in my life. Another positive side: everyone here is supportive and creates a great community :)

Fantastic experience: I've joined for just under a year and I can confidently say that it has exceeded all my expectations. First of all, the private coaching aspect has been a game-changer. Coach Zack who takes the time to understand my goals and provides personalized workouts that are challenging and effective. I have seen significant improvement in my strength and overall fitness since joining. The community aspect of the gym is also fantastic. The gym has a tight-knit, supportive atmosphere and everyone is friendly and welcoming. All the coaches are knowledgeable, passionate, and always willing to help. Overall, I am extremely happy with my experience, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive, challenging, and fun workout environment.

Fantastic experience: Huge thank you to Opex South Brooklyn! Been a member for almost 2 years already and there isn’t quite a home like this one. It’s a very comfortable environment as the staff and gym members are very friendly and supportive and also share similar goals and mindsets. Coach June does a wonderful job putting together my workout plans and makes sure that I am striving to my fullest potential. I would never believe that I’d be able to do a pull up in my life and here I am now doing multiple weighted pull ups. I definitely feel positive inspirational energy from the rest of the members as well. It’s very cool to be in an atmosphere with those who are striving the way that you do. I appreciate the feedback, tips, support and all the guidance that I receive every training session from all the coaches. Thank you for continuing to guide me towards my goals, I honestly couldn’t be happier!

Fantastic experience: I been training for about 11 years - the entirety of my adolescence and all of my adult life up to this point. I trained for 8 years self-directed until I hit a plateau and needed some third-party assistance. Luck and good fortune led me to the way of OPEX and I've been with them for the better part of three years now. June - my coach - has pushed me and programmed for me in ways that I could never have done without her expertise. The quality of the facility, the environment of excellence set by the coaching staff, and the professionalism and expertise of the staff are second to none. My almost decade long experience with commercial gyms could never match the experience that I have had at OPEX over these years. I consider this place my second home, the coaches my friends, and feel extraordinarily lucky to have discovered it.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Opex. From the coaches to the facilities to the workout, it’s fantastic. The Coaches take the time to learn your fitness goals but also who you are as a person outside of the gym. The workouts are personalized so everyone has different programming. I never did strength training before opex. I was always into yoga and Pilates, but strength training intimidated me. I’m so glad I found Opex because now I love adding strength training into my daily routine. Oh and did I mention, the coaches are the best!

Fantastic experience: The best membership experience I’ve had at any gym! Excellent trainers and a great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Been a member for over a year- Love the atmosphere, equipment, trainers, everything - very glad I found Opex!

Fantastic experience: This is a wonderful gym where every coach is attentive, knowledgable, and kind. The culture of the gym is inclusive and respectful—no one yells at you, there are no meatheads flexing in front of mirrors, and the coaches emphasize that everyone is on their own fitness journey. I've been working with Coach Chantel for nearly two years and have always felt that I've been in good hands; she really takes the time to understand your lifestyle and health goals, and creates a program that is effective, realistic, and sustainable. I've gone from having the strength of a baby bird to being able to do chin-ups! It's also a really good deal. For the monthly membership fee, you get unlimited access to a super clean gym, individualized health coaching and training programs, and guidance from the coaches on the gym floor whenever you need it. It's basically personal training at a fraction of the cost.

Fantastic experience: Where do I even start! Haha, I came across Opex south Brooklyn back in 2019 to deal with some knee issues I developed when I was doing CrossFit. Coach Chantel (amazing coach) introduced me to Coach June and she has been my hero ever since! I could write a book about how much of a dope a** coach she has been to me but I’ll keep it a little short here… lol… June is a coach that is very attentive to her clients wants and needs. Because of her I am able to get into a full squat with no pain!! The atmosphere in Opex south Brooklyn is like no other! They are so welcoming (every single coach), especially to dogs and babies. I was so grateful to be able to bring my puppy at the time to the gym when I needed to workout and now I have a 2 year old daughter and not only am I able to bring her with me I’ve had Coach Chantel and Coach June watch Milani while I completed my workouts. Just no other place like Opex South Brooklyn!!!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been members for a little over a year. It is easily the best gym experience we have ever had. The whole team is amazing - super knowledgeable, dedicated, and fully invested in helping each member reach his or her wellness goals. They have helped both of us improve our fitness significantly and have made us look forward to every trip to the gym. There's something for everyone here regardless of your fitness level or training experience. Truly a great place and a wonderful community.

Fantastic experience: Coach Zack has been fundamental to my fitness, but every coach here is great. They care, they look out for you, and their guidance is second to none.

Fantastic experience: Been working out at opex for over a year. Coaches are knowledgeable and friendly. Programming takes into account your lifestyle and customized to be perfect for you.

Fantastic experience: I have been a customer since December 2020, and the service and treatment I receive since then has been outstanding, so for that I give OPEX 5 stars! If you are an old or a new athlete looking for sustainable development and realistic goals, this is your gym.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with coach chantel for the last year she has been amazing, understanding and accommodating when it comes to my shoulder injury. Constantly reworking my programming based on how I am feeling each week. I love the sense of community that OPEX is , they are always hosting events and activities to get all clients involved and interacting which is great for meeting new people. I am very happy with my results this far into my training I am stronger then I ever thought I was

Fantastic experience: I always thought I was a exercise class person until I realized that classes don’t always move at the pace I do and the classes can’t be focused on what i need. After years of attempting classes i finally moved to working out on my with the instruction of a coach. However i was lonely and my drive went down. I like be around people and motivated by their efforts and struggles. This is where OPEX came into the picture for me. It was recommended as a place where I would be around other in community setting but I would do my own workout. Tried it out and it worked. I have found my happy medium at Opex. It is here where i found a gym that meets my needs but also I discovered the power of having a female coach. It just happened i always had male coaches. My female body/ age transitions just didn’t come up in conversations when it came to meeting my goals. Also, I never thought about my workout in relation to my age. Really I would rather ignore this and pretend I am still just 30 something. Chantal doesn’t just talk about these topics but faces them head on. She asked me what I didn’t know I needed to be asked. I thought that is it, I am 45, my body will just do what it wants and I have no control. This is not true and Chantel has and is helping me find that control while also balancing acceptance. Thanks to Opex I found a gym that I can go to regularly, feel comfortable, meet people, and most importantly feel motives but others. Thanks to Chantel I am learning what my female body needs to be strong and healthy at my age. I am also getting guidance and direction to continue growing.

Fantastic experience: Since joining OPEX, i’m the fittest i’ve ever been! I’ve been crossfitting/strength training since 2017, and never have seen results quite like the ones i’ve been getting from working with Coach Cesco. The entire staff is wonderful; nothing but smiles when you walk through the door :) The facility and equipment is top notch and management is always looking for new toys to enhance the fitness game and test your skills. The clients are always super friendly and respectful of eachothers space. Overall excellent training facility. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to build their fitness.

Fantastic experience: There really is no better place than OPEX South Brooklyn. I’ve been working with Coach June since February 2021 and it’s been amazing - she puts together a customized program in advance and makes sure that my needs are being addressed. I feel stronger/healthier than I’ve ever felt in ONE YEAR than my 6 years in CrossFit and Olympic weightlifting. On top of personalized training, you have the members and coaches that really make OPEX great. You’re not judged, the facility is clean, the coaches are attentive, everyone is friendly… can you tell I love this place? So thank you June, Brian, Cesco, Chantel, John, Zack, and Dan for making OPEX SB the GOAT

Fantastic experience: I've been working out with OPEX for almost 2 years now. The facility is great. Really spacious by New York standards. And the gym is never super crowded. But the best part of the gym is definitely the coaches. They are super helpful on the floor with tips. And I love my customized programming from Coach June. Favorite gym I've been a member of for sure.

Fantastic experience: The best! I originally joined Opex to gain independence in the gym since I’m a gym newbie and never knew what I was doing but I can’t bring myself to leave! The coaches are so nice, knowledgeable, and patient, and their approach is all about making real lifestyle changes that make sense. The workouts are tailored to me and Chantel always make sure to push me bc she knows I can do it, even when I don’t think I can. I’ve gotten stronger, learned so much, and for the price it’s a really great value. Wish I found it sooner.

Fantastic experience: This place feels like home! I have been working with Coach June for a little over a year now and my experience has been Phenomenal. All of my work outs and at home plan (eating and sleeping)are set up around my schedule and changing needs. Whenever I have concerns or questions Coach June is readily available to put me at ease. I highly recommend Opex and all of the coaches at Opex !

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym summer 2021 and have made more progress in the past 6 months than in the past few years. Great coaching, fun community, and fantastic gym space. If you're looking to commit improving your self physically I highly recommend joining Opex.

Fantastic experience: The personalized programming is fantastic. Such a solid group of trainers here!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with OPEX and Coach June Rivera for just over a year. During that time, I have been *** injury free *** for the first time in my life, built to new lifetime PRs in strength, cardio, and body weight movements. In addition, and almost more importantly, I have built solid friendships and connections with both the staff as well as other members. June understands each person's unique requirements, and implements training cycles based on science, and her extensive academic knowledge, with the perfect amount of intuition for what her client needs to progress. She is receptive to my feedback, while at the same time leaning on evidence based analysis to tell me when I'm wrong. By far, June is the best coach and mentor I have ever had within all my experience with sports and athletics. Shoutout to Coaches Brian, Chantel, Zack, Dan, John, and Cesco for the diligent floor coaching. By abiding by a standard of movements and exercises, it is so easy for Coach June to keep track of my progress. The other coaches have improved my mobility, corrected my technique, and offered advice and feedback both to me and June about my programming. I can't thank them enough. The OPEX facility in South Brooklyn is a welcoming space - open, well ventilated, well lit, clean, and hygienic. Brian and the entire staff handled (and are handling) COVID protocols and safety precautions like champs, and I have always felt safe and comfortable working out in the facility. Overall, I highly recommend OPEX South Brooklyn to anyone who's looking to develop good habits - whether that's someone who wants to jump start their health and fitness, or someone who is a seasoned athlete looking to attack a new skill, sport or just a new life goal. This is not (just) a gym, it's pretty much a preventative health clinic, with some of the finest health and wellness professionals around.

Fantastic experience: There is truly no better place to go if you care about your health and fitness. I have been working out for many years and frankly thought I knew a lot. I didn’t! I’ve been working with Coach Chantel for 8 months and feel stronger and more in control of my health. Do yourself a favor and go to OPEX!

Fantastic experience: Personal Context: I moved from Austin to NYC in December 2020. I previously went to another OPEX aligned gym back in Austin and was recommended OPEX South Brooklyn because the owners knew each other. I was looking for the same sense of community and non-judgmental atmosphere as I had experienced back in Austin. I remained with my Austin-based coach remotely while training in-person at OPEX South Brooklyn until October 2021 and switched to an OPEX SB coach (Zack Zweifel). The Model: An overview of how the structure at OPEX SB is set up is that everyone who attends the gym has their own personal coach who discusses with them 1-on-1 their fitness goals, nutrition, mental/physical health, etc. and from there, their coach programs a personalized workout plan for that individual based off of what was discussed. Regular check-ins with their clients allow the coaches to adjust workouts moving forward based off of the client's feedback. I have found that this model works well for me because it's personally crafted to suit my fitness goals, while taking into account my lifestyle and previous workout experience. The Coaches: All of the coaches are incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful. I never hesitate to ask any of them for help if I have a question on a certain movement. They are all extremely knowledgeable and I feel that I am receiving information that allows me to safely and effectively complete my workouts. Coach Zack: I switched to Coach Zack in October 2021 from my Austin-based coach. I requested him specifically because of the positive rapport that developed over the course of the past few months (even though he wasn't programming my workouts at that time). Ever since switching over, I've seen growth in my personal fitness goals that I felt have plateaued (to an extent) with my previous coach. Zack and I have cultivated a positive working relationship and continue to make strides towards my goals. He is a pleasure to work with and I am very happy that I switched over. Overall he's just a good person. Community: The coaches and clients at OPEX SB are some of the most wonderful people I have met since moving to NYC. Personally, I know that walking into a gym can be an anxiety-inducing experience. But the people at OPEX SB are kind and non-judgmental. If you have gym anxiety (like I used to, which has kept me from attending the gym regularly for many years before) then OPEX SB is the ideal place for someone who is new to fitness to begin their journey. It's comforting to know that everyone is working toward their own specific goals and is supportive of each other in their own personal journeys. My gym anxiety has transformed into gym excitement and I'm always looking forward to working out (I never thought I would be that person… but here we are, and I love it!). TLDR: -OPEX SB offers you a personalized experience crafted to your personal lifestyle and goals. -You get your own personal coach. -Coaches are friendly, professional, and helpful. -Members are nice and supportive. -It's a fun, non-intimidating environment. -Zack is my coach and I LITERALLY love him so much. Sincerely, Joseph G. PS - Real Talk: You may be reading this review and still on the fence about joining. Don't let the price intimidate you. I highly recommend you try it out for at least a month. What do you have to lose? A few dollars at the risk of finding a gym and a community that supports you? Seems like a no-brainer. The benefit and value I receive from OPEX South Brooklyn FAR exceeds the cost. I am not joking when I tell you, "It's worth it." OPEX SB has all the tools to help you succeed and if you're actually serious about making a positive change in your life you would at least try it out. At this point, there is no one to blame but yourself.

Fantastic experience: Been going to OPEX for the last two years, working with coach June, and it has been immensely rewarding. I’m feeling the healthiest I’ve ever been, and appreciate how close we’ve become with all of the coaches at OPEX. Can’t recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: I joined about 5 months ago. I'm loving this membership and the community, worth every penny. The coaches are supportive and sincere and the workouts have been great at specifically targeting my areas of need. I work with coach John who is awesome. It's much different than my previous gym experiences and I highly recommend it for anyone considering

Fantastic experience: Coach June and all of the coaches are amazing! They create an awesome community feel at the gym where I really look forward to going each workout. I’ve had back issues that June works with me closely on to make sure I can still meet my goals while working around the pain and is always available for me to ask questions. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Coach John for ~8 months and it’s been great! John puts together well thought out programming that have resulted in gains cycle through cycle. John does a great job incorporating feedback. John is a true expert in what he does. The facility is great, always super clean, and the other coaches are great assets on the training floor. The gym has a great community and culture. Opex provides both challenging workouts and a fun atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with OPEX South Brooklyn since December 2020 and I've had a great experience in the facility thus far. The owners are extremely receptive and actually listen to the wants and needs of the clients that train in the facility. In the short time that I've been there they have made a number of investments and changes to the facility to improve our experience, which is not something all gyms will do to support your experience with them. I've been working specifically with June as my coach and she has been amazing at taking in my past experience and past injuries into account when putting together a long standing program for me. Together we have been addressing some of the issues I've had and she always tweaks my direction to make sure I'm not overloaded but continues to push me forward. She has been a great coach to work with this past year.

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough about how much I enjoy the training environment at OPEX. Coach June is thorough, attentive and really cares about everyone who comes in. The gym itself is impeccably maintained and the people are encouraging and supportive. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I joined in February of 2021 and had never weight trained consistently. I was paired with Chantel after a thorough assessment of my goals and current state. What a match! She follows research, emphasizes a holistic and personalized approach and coaches in a non judgey, encouraging, but not coddling way. She keeps my program dynamic, based on what’s going on in my life (like traveling, dieting, overdoing it in other sports or nights out) and has helped me get stronger, more resilient and positively impact other areas of my life, like work and other fitness activities. OPEX is clean, coaches care and are available for questions and tips, and environment is friendly and supportive. <3 Chantel, <3 my experience at Opex South BK!

Fantastic experience: I joined OPEX last year, and it has been the best gym experience I've ever had. The small community environment, straight to the point equipment & layout, and excellent coaching staff are just a few highlights. Huge shoutout to Chantel who has helped me rehab through several long term injuries and simultaneously make progress along the way.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing virtual training with June at Opex South Brooklyn for over a year and it’s been fantastic! So much so, that I live in Seattle and I will continue to train with her remotely. June tailors my workout regiment to my specific needs. I had a lower-back ski injury, and she made sure that the workouts challenged me, while allowing me to heal from my injury. I am stronger, and empowered with the best support system to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: OPEX South Brooklyn has a very warm and welcoming environment and all of the coaches are very helpful and professional. More than that, this approach to fitness works. I have tried different things in the past, but it wasn’t until I started working with coach John Tracy that I finally started seeing notable results. He always gives me challenging yet appropriate workouts to meet my fitness goals, and he also gives me feedback on my nutrition to maximize my results. I’ve been seeing amazing progress in a relatively short amount of time as a result, and you can expect this from any coach you work with, as long as you put in the work. Moreover, with their fitness app, it’s very easy to communicate with your coach so they can adjust your workouts accordingly. I highly recommend this gym for anyone who’s been trying to get into shape—especially if you’ve struggled in the past like I have.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I joined Opex South Brooklyn about 8 months ago, when we decided we needed to get back into the gym after working out at home all of 2020. Previously, we had belonged to a CrossFit gym in Manhattan, but we both wanted a change. Opex has been a huge blessing to us both. We love the approach -- we each have our own coach, who programs our individual workouts tailored to our goals and needs. When we go to the gym to do our workouts, we get to be a part of a warm, friendly community under the care of a dedicated, passionate and attentive team of coaches. (And the gym is VERY Covid protocol conscious and safe.) Opex truly integrates the best parts of private coaching and community fitness. With my coach June, I have hit many strength PR's in lifts that had been stagnant for a while (and after giving birth 4 years ago). I love having a coach that I trust and know is in my corner, who is available to chat with me about how my body is feeling a particular week; should my strength/fitness goals change, I know June is there to listen and advise me with her immense and ever-expanding sports science knowledge, and she will adjust my programming accordingly. All the Opex coaches are fantastic. A few of our friends have joined, too, and I think Brian does a great job matching clients to specific coaches. The facility is beautiful and the equipment is great. Opex also emphasizes a holistic approach, and the coaches can provide guidance in nutrition and sleep health as well (and your membership includes InBody scans so you can track body composition progress, if that's your thing). Basically, it has everything you need and I can't recommend it enough. Opex is a great place to work out, it really feels like "home" to us.

Fantastic experience: Opex is a great facility with people who are welcoming and coaches who are willing to help by going above and beyond. A great community with awesome equipment as well.

Fantastic experience: This gym has truly been life changing for me. My coach Chantel has truly taken a holistic approach to my health and helped me create a plan that helps improve my fitness, my mental health, my sleep, my stress levels, my mindsets and my nutrition. Going into the gym at opex has helped me improve my form so much and become more intentional at my movements as I was coming from a background of HIIT group classes. This gym starts to feel like a family as you develop different relationships with all the coaches even if they’re not the one working on your programming. You get to work with a coach one and one and they help you build a program that aligns to your goals and consistently check in to see what works, what doesn’t, and what might need adjustments. especially after such a challenging few years with some physical injuries on top of everything happening in this world opex really has been helping me take better care of myself in every aspect.

Fantastic experience: I cannot emphasize enough how amazing OPEX has been for my physical recovery. I first joined in January after having major surgery, and with the amazing coaching from Chantel, I have been able to lift more than I had been capable of in my 20s. All of the coaches are personable and helpful. I love that the programs are specific to us and our needs. Also, OPEX has created an amazing community. It is worth it to be a member.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, very spacious and well equipped

Fantastic experience: I LOVE this place! I had such a positive experience getting back into a workout/nutrition/wellness routine thanks to the regular, one-on-one coaching from Chantel and the support from all the friendly and knowledgeable coaches every time I worked out. No matter where you are in your training (beginner, getting back into it, trying to get to the next level) the team here will help you get where you want to go.

Fantastic experience: I knew the first time I met June, Francisco and Brian that this gym was exactly what I was looking for. I've spent years doing bodybuilding weightlifting, fitness training, boot camp, yoga and they were all great at different times in my life but at 61 I needed something more individual and functional. They were young business owners and kept it very professional but I could see they were passionate. They made it clear that if the business was to be successful, the clients needed to be successful in not only meeting their goals but in whole body health. The coaches educate, encourage, and help you progress and but the motivation and responsibility comes down to the individual. All programs are totally individualized and updated weekly. Before I went for hip surgery June adjusted my program to pre-hab and after rehab. The gym is small enough that there is a definite family feel and you know that you are being looked after and cared for. No judgments just encouragement and progress. I moved from Brooklyn last winter but I took OPEX and June with me. June is helping me build a home gym and she continues to be my coach at a distance.
