Manhattan Parents Love Our Kids Personal Training Results
Jessica R
Mom of 13-year-old basketball player
"My son made varsity as an 8th grader—his coach specifically mentioned his improved vertical jump and speed!"
My 13-year-old son was passionate about basketball but wasn't getting individualized attention at team practices. We hired Type A Training for sport-specific training, and within 3 months, his performance transformed. His trainer focused on explosive power, agility drills, and basketball-specific conditioning.
The results speak for themselves: he improved his vertical jump by 4 inches and developed much better footwork. When tryouts came around, he made varsity as an 8th grader at his competitive Manhattan private school. The convenience of in-home training meant he never missed sessions despite his busy schedule. Best investment we've made in his athletic development!

Lisa T.
Mom of 16-year-old daughter
"She went from avoiding mirrors to confidently trying out for the school dance team—the emotional transformation has been incredible!"
My 16-year-old daughter was struggling with body image and low confidence. She'd tried group fitness classes but felt self-conscious and would skip them. Finding Type A Training was a turning point. Her trainer created a judgment-free environment where my daughter felt comfortable being herself.
Over 6 months, she lost 18 pounds—but more importantly, she gained incredible confidence. She went from avoiding physical activity to looking forward to her sessions. Last month, she tried out for the school dance team and made it! The private, in-home training was perfect for her personality. Watching her transformation—physically and emotionally—has been incredible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Manhattan parents want to know about youth fitness training
What ages do you work with?
We specialize in youth fitness for ages 6-19. Our trainers are experts in age-appropriate training methods, understanding the physical and emotional development of children and teens.
We tailor every program to your child's specific age, abilities, and maturity level. Whether your child is just starting their fitness journey or training for competitive sports, our certified trainers create customized programs that are safe, effective, and engaging for their developmental stage.
Is weight training safe for kids?
Absolutely! When done correctly with proper supervision and age-appropriate methods, strength training is safe and beneficial for kids. Our trainers are certified in youth fitness and follow evidence-based guidelines from organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics.
We focus on bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, and light weights with perfect form—never heavy lifting. Our approach builds strength, coordination, and confidence while preventing injuries. Each exercise is carefully selected based on your child's age, physical maturity, and skill level to ensure safe progression.
How quickly can we start training sessions?
Very quickly! Complete our online questionnaire (takes just 2 minutes), and we'll match you with a certified trainer within 2 hours. Most Manhattan families start their first session within 24-48 hours of completing the questionnaire.
We understand busy Manhattan schedules and make the process as fast and convenient as possible. Our trainers have flexible availability including early mornings, after school, evenings, and weekends. Once matched, you'll coordinate directly with your trainer to schedule sessions that work for your family's calendar.
What if my child isn't athletic or motivated to exercise?
That's exactly who we specialize in helping! Our trainers are experts at working with reluctant kids, building confidence gradually, and making fitness fun and engaging. We start where your child is comfortable and progress at their pace.
Many of our most successful clients started with zero interest in fitness. Our trainers know how to spark motivation through games, challenges, and positive reinforcement. We focus on building small wins that create confidence and momentum. Before long, kids who once resisted exercise are asking when their next session is scheduled.
How are your trainers vetted and qualified?
Every trainer goes through our rigorous vetting process: comprehensive background checks, reference verification, certification validation (youth fitness specialist certifications required), and personal interviews with our owner Nathaniel Oliver. We also provide ongoing training and professional development.
All trainers carry $2 million liability insurance and maintain current CPR/AED certifications. We only work with trainers who specialize in youth fitness—not just general personal trainers. Your child's safety and positive experience are our top priorities, which is why we maintain the highest vetting standards in the industry.
