Nathaniel W. Oliver, founder of Type A Training
From the founder
“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.”
Nathaniel W. OliverFounder, since 2002
The in-home difference

Why training at home works.

Convenience

No commute, no parking, no waiting for equipment. Your trainer arrives fully equipped, and you reclaim 100+ hours a year.

Privacy

No audience, no mirrors-and-crowds gym floor. Train in the comfort and discretion of your own space, on your terms.

Accountability

The trainer shows up at your door: no excuses, no skipped sessions. The hardest part of any program is already handled.

Questions

Everything you need, answered.

How fast can I start?

Usually within 24 to 48 hours. Tell us your goals and we will match you to the right trainer and confirm your first session, often the next day.

Do I need any equipment?

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 your trainers certified and insured?

Yes. Every trainer we place holds a nationally recognized certification and carries their own liability insurance. Each trainer is personally interviewed by Nathaniel, our owner, before working with any client.

Are background checks available?

Yes, upon request. We work with an FCRA-compliant screening service and can arrange a background check for your assigned trainer before your first session. Just ask when you book.

Do you offer female trainers?

Yes. We have experienced female trainers across Manhattan, and you can request one when you book. Many clients prefer a female trainer for comfort or for women-focused programs.

How much does it cost?

Our starter package is $249 for three 45-minute sessions. After that, we offer session packages for individuals and couples at different lengths. See our pricing page for current packages.

Do you offer couples training?

Yes. Two people, one certified trainer, one session. Couples training is one of our most popular formats, with built-in accountability for partners, friends, and family members.

What types of training do you offer?

One-on-one training, couples training, kids and teens fitness, seniors training, pre and postnatal fitness, yoga and pilates, nutrition coaching, and corporate and building wellness programs. Sessions happen at your home, building gym, office, or hotel.
