“I started Type A Training in 2002 on one belief: the best training doesn’t belong in a crowded gym — it belongs in your space, on your schedule, built entirely around you. Over 25 years in, that hasn’t changed. I still personally vet every trainer we send into a client’s home, because when you invite someone in, you deserve complete peace of mind.”

“My trainer from Type A Training has been coming to our gym at 15 Central Park West for over three years — always professional and punctual.”
“Discreet, reliable, and incredibly effective — perfect for our private gym setup in our apartment.”
Quietly remarkable results.
Real words from real clients across Yelp and Google.
“Nathaniel has been my trainer for over a year. I have worked with many trainers in the past and he is by far my favorite. I had tendonitis in my foot after running a marathon and even though I was limited with an injury he modified my workouts so we could continue to train around it. He always takes an inventory of how I am feeling, how I have recovered from prior workouts, and my fitness goals in order to keep the workouts on target. What I think sets him apart is that he continues to push my limits. He just instinctively knows when I have mastered a particular exercise and modifies it to make it a bit more challenging so I never plateau and our workouts are never stale. I’m doing things now that I never thought I could do plus I dropped a whole jean size just a few months after we started working out together!!! Plus when we are not training he will send along resources, articles, training ideas which I really appreciate. He also has always been able to work with my schedule and meets me at my home or gym which is really convenient. Overall he is a really great guy to work with and I would be lost without him!”
“I found Nathaniel through my wife at the dog park. I knew I needed a jump start to getting healthy again. I did the 3 week intense 45 minute mini private boot camp. Not only was his programs unique, he would introduce new exercises to keep my mind and muscles from getting familiar. I loved the variety as my mind generally looks for ways to cheat and I never knew what to expect. I was a little nervous at first and didn’t know how I was going to handle, but that disappeared in about 5 minutes in the first session.There is a lot of personal training out there, but let me say, you cannot compare apples to apples with Nathaniel and type A training. He is totally engaged in the training and really takes the time to understand your needs and the level you are at. He knows when to push and then when to back off.After every training I totally felt encouraged by not only my progress but the way Nathaniel would reinforce my progress. I highly recommend.”
“Nathaniel is totally awesome to put up with my 90 hour work weeks. He is so calm natured and truly cares. He is not just a trainer, but a counselor, a friend, and a life coach rolled into one. As an added bonus, I hate cardio and he almost makes it seem borderline enjoyable :)”

No. Your trainer arrives fully equipped for every session. You only need a bit of open space — a living room, home gym, or your building’s fitness room all work.
Are trainers certified, insured, and background-checked?
