“After an in-depth and thoughtful conversation, Nate paired me with the perfect trainer to meet my needs. I highly recommend Studio 16 and you’d be lucky to train with Jennel- she’s smart, fun and caring. Jennel challenges and inspires me every session.”

“This is my first time working with a personal trainer and I’ve had a great experience! Nate paired me with Ed who carefully listened to my goals, assessed my current state, and created a thorough plan. I’ve been training for a little over a month and I’m already seeing results. I’d recommend anyone who wants to work with a personal trainer to Studio 16!”

“So many great things to say!
I recently had the pleasure of hosting an event at this amazing workout studio space, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations!
The studio itself is immaculate, providing a clean and inviting atmosphere that immediately sets the tone for a great fitness experience. The range of workout equipment available is impressive; I was able to find everything I needed to design the perfect workout for my event.
What truly set this studio apart is the exceptional service provided by the owner. From the initial inquiry to the day of the event, the owner was incredibly attentive and accommodating. They ensured that all my requirements were met and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly.

Will definitely book this studio again!”

“I had a very positive experience with Studio 16.

Before I joined, I hadn’t worked out consistently for a few years because of COVID. I chose studio 16 since I only wanted personal training and didn’t want the hidden fees other gyms came with. I was a little nervous because the studio is pretty new and personal training is not cheap, but after the consultation call with Nate I decided to give it a chance. Nate kindly let me try out 2 trainers before making a decision.

I worked with Anthony for 6 months and cannot recommend him enough. Anthony was very knowledgeable about building muscle, nutrition, and making adjustments for injuries. One time, he posted me on his Instagram story when I hit a PR (I don’t use Instagram but it was a sweet gesture). Ultimately, I met my goals and gained a lot more confidence getting back into a routine. ”

“My 3 friends and I worked out with two of studio 16’s amazing trainers. Jenelle was always set up for us when we arrived, had new workouts every time and took the time to answer all our questions! We had a particularly fun time with her!
Chris always had inventive workouts for us to try out, made sure that our firm was on point and educated us on which muscles we were using with every movement. His workouts were never boring and always efficient.
In general we had a great time working out at Studio 16 Park Slope and would recommend it to anyone! Nate was a great coordinator and addressed any issue we had immediately and kindly. Great place, great people!”

“I’ve never had a trainer. Frankly, going to the gym has always intimidated me. But from the first consultation call, which was the very next day after I had requested information via the website, I knew it would be a great experience. Nate immediately understood my goals and communication style, and he asked specific questions about my history with working out and what I was looking for in a trainer. I started with my trainer Nick a few days, whose energy and personality has been so motivating especially considering how much of a beginner I am. I’m wiped out by the end of the training sessions, but I feel a sense of accomplishment when I leave the studio. The facilities (I’m at the Hell’s Kitchen location) are clean and well-maintained, and as someone who is very self-conscious especially when working out, I love that it’s truly private. I’m currently in the middle of my sessions, and I already feel a difference in my strength and stamina. I’m also sleeping better (I’m the worst sleeper) and waking up with more energy. Studio 16 has turned something I dread into something I’m excited about!”

“Been going since around July 2020 and it’s been a lifesaver. The flexibility of being able to see my trainer early in the morning (pre 5am) to fit into my work schedule automatically puts it above the standard gym, and my trainer Khaya is great, always tweaking how we train to make sure we’re focused on what my goals are.
I’ve also been using the meal prep they offer which has made managing what I’m eating super straightforward. A lot of options, they keep well in the fridge, and really great at helping you stay in control.
Highly recommend on all fronts.”

“This studio really changed my life. In 2020, I came to Nathan with a goal in mind - one that seemed a bit unachievable. But he quickly reassured me that it actually was very achievable, just needed the right guidance and information. I went from being 195lbs and 17% body fat, down to 175lbs and around 8-9% body fat in the 5 months I worked with him. The greatest part was, yes I lost weight, but I gained a ton of muscle through his nutrition and workout plan. This studio/Nathan didn’t just provide me with training, but he provided me with knowledge... the type that helps you to succeed when you’re outside of the studio and doing this all on your own. I could not recommend Studio 16 more. It was by far the best investment I have ever made for my own personal well being.”

“I have been training at Studio 16 Flatiron for a little over 2 months and have been so happy with my experience. Nate is a pleasure to communicate with and he did an excellent job pairing me with my trainer, Helena. She is fantastically knowledgeable and I look forward to every session. I have done personal training at other studios before but the fact that you have the entire space to yourself is such a game changer. Personal training is not cheap but I’m already seeing a difference in my performance and starting to feel more confident in my skin. So for me, training at Studio 16 with Helena has been worth every penny!”

“What’s is there not to say?
I trained with Adrian for an entire summer and my results were UNBELIEVABLE!
I told him what I was looking for, he was straight forward about his training style, the dedication he needed from me, and he delivered ten fold. When my work schedule clears up I will be training with him again. There just isn’t anyone better. You will not be disappointed!”

“I was always intimated by the gym scene. Nate totally listened and was very patient. The best part about Nate’s approach is that it never seemed like a chore. There was never a moment where I wanted to cancel a session, It was something I always looked forward to. He is extremely well-versed in his craft and was such a great resource for any and all questions. (I didn’t need to use google with him around) After 16 sessions, I’m extremely more comfortable now with the gym scene”

“When I started working with Nate I weight almost 225 pounds, which really didn’t fit well on a 5’7” frame. Within 6 months I had dropped below 200 pounds, and even better it’s now 2 years later and I’m down to 185 and I’ve kept the weight off this whole time. It’s not going to be easy and he’s not going to tell you it is, but he is going to give you all the training, knowledge, and motivation you need to accomplish your goals, whatever they may be. I’ve seen him work with people of all ages and sizes, and he’s someone I’d unreservedly recommend to anyone trying to improve themselves. Just so long as you don’t mind his terrible taste in music”

“The space: Its cozy, simple, clean and still smells new. It’s designed to make you feel like you’re the only girl/boy in the world with your dedicated trainer. I’m impressed at how efficient and configurable Nate has made this space. I hardly notice when he’s setting up to have me work on the next thing. That said the equipment is basic enough that you can replicate the routines at any commercial gym.”

“Nate is the best in the game.

Through Studio16, you get your own personal gym experience, a no-judgment environment and most importantly, RESULTS.

In just a few months, I’ve noticed a difference in my physique, stamina, and mental health. Nate does a great job of pushing you but also understanding that we are all human and make mistakes.

I highly recommend anyone to check out a trial session and inquire about the meal prep service. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Your private trainer now at your....private....gym. Studio 16 in Flatiron!Ive been training with Nate at his One-on-one custom elite private gym studio in Hells Kitchen for 9 months. We train 2x a week complimented with my walking, meals and hot yoga. At 66, I’m in the best shape ever. Congratulations for your new opening in Flatiron!”

“When it comes to personal trainers with the knowledge, expertise, and drive to transform your fitness routine, Nate is your guy. I’ve used trainers in the past and none have been able to produce the kind of results I have achieved while training with Nate. He is personable, business savvy, and most importantly, understands the body. When we first met, we had an open dialogue about my goals and expectations. I had mentioned a concern I had with a lingering shoulder injury and he shared his own personal experience with injuries and how he was able to work through it. He was careful to construct a routine which was challenging but avoided agitating my shoulder. Nate is truly a pleasure to train with. I can’t recommend him enough to friends and colleagues.”

“I have loved working with Jennel at Studio 16. She has a great vibe, focused but still a lot of laughs, and she knows exactly how to program without going too far (cause unchecked I will always push myself too much). I can’t recommend working with her or with Studio 16 enough.”

“I’ve been working out here for a few weeks and it has been great. My trainer, Tony, is the best. He knows how to get the best out of my workouts, is very easy to talk to, and always has a fantastic playlist ready. The space is well equipped and very clean.”

“I have had my initial assessment and 4 sessions so far with Dan at Studio 16. It’s been an absolutely excellent experience. It is not my first time working with a trainer, but it is my first time working out at a private studio with a trainer of this caliber. Studio 16 and Dan combine privacy and a trainer’s tremendous knowledge and experience focused on me for a full hour. I am not distracted by my surroundings, as I am at a gym, and I feel that a great trainer understands what what my goals are and how far to push me. Dan is punctual, attentive, upbeat and hugely knowledgeable. He can entirely diagnose my form, how I am working out, and offer real-time corrections and advice on how to improve. He understands why certain muscles or joints might fee aggravated, and immediately addresses those areas to avoid injury. He also understands my own background, years of working out, being way rusty now, and wanting to be the best I can be while pushing me just as far as I can go”

“I’ve had a phenomenal experience at the studio. I’ve been training with Ed for 10 months now and I’m beyond thrilled with the results that I’ve achieved. I had no idea what to expect, I’ve never stepped foot into a gym before our initial session. I had no idea what this whole thing is going to be all about. There was a sense of intimidation, embarrassment and also some level of shame of how I let myself get to the place where I was back then. All I knew was that I was at a point in my life where I needed to make a change, not for the “aesthetic” or vanity reasons, but for health reasons. I was at 275lb, pre-diabetic, fatty liver & high cholesterol, it was time to grab my life by the horns, make a change and just enjoy the process as much as possible.

Ed and I had our initial session, I expressed to him that I was committed and that I am looking for a long’ish term training sessions. Ed was going to have work cut out for him with me. I am beyond thrilled to share with y’all, that as of mid-December, I am now 101lbs lighter and in the best health that I have been in my adult life. I started off this whole journey at 275lbs, I am now down to 174lbs, all in a matter of not even full 10 months of Ed and I working together.

What you will gain by training at this place is not only a trainer/coach/mentor- whatever you want to refer to that person, you will also gain a friend. The fact that this is a private space means that you can open up and discuss things with each other that you wouldn’t probably talk about in a commercial gym due to the fact that others folks would be overhearing your conversations.

As for the studios themselves, they are extremely clean, professional, cozy - maybe that’s a weird adjective to use when it comes to describing a gym, they are also located in very, very convenient locations, so commuting to them is a breeze.

I highly, highly recommend this place. I also highly recommend working with Ed, he’s an incredible human who knows how to connect with people on a more personal level.”

“I highly recommend Studio 16 to anyone who’s interested in looking for one-on-one personal training. The gym was always clean and well-ventilated. The process of registering was very easy and Nate was very attentive and easy to talk to. I trained with Rich for a couple of weeks and had a wonderful experience training with him. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Training sessions were always fun and I looked forward to the next one. He knew just how much to push me and after a couple sessions I already began to feel a change within myself. If you’re thinking about trying out Studio 16, I encourage you to do it!”

“Nate is by far the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. From the moment you start working with him he is very focused on what your goals are and how he can help you achieve those. Not only is he very knowledgeable and professional but he makes workouts fun and enjoyable. I’ve been going to him for over five years and will continue for many more. Studio 16 is the perfect space for him and other trainers to give the personal attention to their clients they are looking for. I would also recommend Nate and his team to anyone”

“Is five stars all i can give here ???? Where do i begin NATE is amazing ! I never felt more comfortable with a trainer ever ! And I have had my share of trainers ! Nate is soo knowledgeable, not only does he motivate you to train but also teaches soooo much about your body and it’s potential. I love the space as well studio 16 is super private so you can really be comfortable and give your all without strangers watching also super clean!!”

“Studio 16 has been an amazing experience. I’ve never used a personal trainer before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. However Nate made me feel so comfortable right away. I was able to explain my goals and why I’m looking to start my fitness journey. He paired me with the perfect trainer, Rich. We got along great from the first session and the rest is history. I’ve learned so much about weights and nutrition. Rich pushes me to dig deeper when I feel like giving up. He’s super motivating and he really wants me to reach my goals and I trust that he’s on my side right there with me. The flatiron studio is perfectly located and you have access to play your own music in a personal space just you and your trainer. I highly recommend Studio 16. If you’re on the fence about it, this is the message telling you to sign up. It’s worth it!!”

“The real highlight of my experience so far has been trainer, Nate F. Yes, the training packages aren’t cheap. BUT, I must admit that I was very happy with my training package and the quality of the instruction. If you’re interested in a trainer, ask for Nate. You won’t regret it”

“Nate helped me get in shape for my wedding! We started training 5 months before and he very quickly was able to motivate me to get to the gym. I went from absolutely despising working out to actually enjoying it. I used to be intimidated to use all of the machines in the gym but he taught me how to use them, and turns out its not so scary! Nate would check in on me in between sessions to make sure I was staying on track. I felt amazing on my wedding day. He really pushed me, and it was all worth it. And as an added bonus, he is a lot of fun. Nate is the best!”

“Nathaniel has been a wonderful trainer. He is incredibly motivating and supportive. His exercises and encouragement have completely changed my outlook on fitness and the results speak for themselves.I am in the best shape of my life and I owe it all to Nathaniel”

“If I could give Nate more than 5 stars I would! He is an incredibly adept trainer that brings his wealth of experience and knowledge base to each client. He has trained me both pre- and during pregnancy - allowing me to see and experience his depth of ability in training for specific purposes and across a variety of clientele. Not only does he hold you accountable - he prioritizes relationship building and invests in your fitness as an individual. I don’t know where I’d be fitness-wise without Nate. His studio is small but incredibly functional. A great trainer that runs a great business!”

“Nate is a fantastic trainer, and I’m so happy that I decided to follow him from his days as a Crunch trainer to his new endeavor! I have done both in-person and online training, and Nate is phenomenal in both settings. He consistently uploads my new workouts early Monday morning so I can hit the ground running every week. His workouts vary weekly and are easy to follow, and I’ve seen great results. Highly recommend!!”

“Adrian is one of the best trainers I’ve ever worked with. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and just a genuine guy to be working with! If you have the chance to train with him, do it!! He’ll push you past your limits and get you to where you want to be”

“Got started with Anthony back in Jan-Feb ‘22 and the experience has been great. He is so friendly, easy to work with, and challenges me in our sessions. The gym is great, clean, full of equipment to use, and the 1:1 time is perfect. Definitely continuing my training with him!

Shout-out to Nate for starting an awesome gym, making the process so easy, seamless, and finding me my trainer. The man knows what he’s doing in fitness.”

“Working with Nate at Studio 16 has been nothing short of game changing. I recently turned 50 and realized that I am fitter, healthier and happier today, due to the work I have done at Studio 16, than I was at 35 - FIFTEEN years ago!!! Nate truly understands how the body works and put together a custom plan to get me from a dead start to lifting four days a week, both in the Studio as well as remote when at home or on the road. Nate took the time to understand my long term goals and mapped out a plan to get me there. I would highly recommend working with Studio 16!”

“This place is THE best private training facility in New York. Just my humble opinion, but I have been thrilled with my time spent here.

Nate is great and I already feel things are working in the right direction. I got a package of sessions, so I can just pay up front and not even think about the cost or having to pay each visit.

This facility is super clean too! I can’t recommend this guy many more than I do!!”

“My experience with Studio 16 has been truly remarkable. I received a call back from Nate the very next day after making the request online. He asked about my goals and promised to get me there by pairing me with the right trainer. From beginning to end everything was setup in 2 days and I started with my trainer, Jonathan, a couple of days after signing up. My trainer Jonathan is truly a great trainer. He’s Knowledgeable, motivating & informative. Since the very first workout/assessment he asked about my goals and discussed, in detail, with me what I had to do achieve them and promised to get me there if I was willing to do the work. The workouts are focused, challenging and effective. Not to mention the one on one studio experience. I think it really contributes to focusing on the work. In conclusion, I highly recommend Studio 16!”

“Nate’s business model offers a long needed solution to the lack of affordable and straightforward personal training in NYC. You can buy a package of sessions upfront and get matched with a trainer after an in depth conversation concerning your fitness background and goals.

I was trained by Jennel, and she is an incredible trainer. She has extensive training (spanning physical therapy, to nutrition—to my plant based people, she has got you covered!, to form...), and she told me she is continuing to build on her already expansive knowledge. She has been so much fun to work out with and will get you results!

The studio I trained at was the Park Slope location. It is clean and well equipped. The private studio component to Nate’s model makes it all the more appealing. Not only are you getting a trainer—but you get a whole private gym space!

Both Nate and Jennel have been super communicative and friendly and patient and flexible. I am so glad I came across Studio 16. If you’re deciding on going with them, I say don’t hesitate, this is a solid business being built by good people. If I weren’t relocating from the city I would absolutely be continuing my journey with them. A++”

“Every time I set foot in Studio 16, I know I’m going to get a great workout with a knowledgable, attentive trainer. Nate is an expert in knowing when to push his clients to try something new or challenging while still having fun and maintaining a relaxed, supportive attitude. I’ve never had a question that he couldn’t answer, and I genuinely look forward to every single session.

Plus it’s great to have the entire space to yourself; the equipment is all in great shape and there’s never a wait to use anything! Nate even got an additional set of dumbbells for me when I needed a weight in between what he already had, which really made me feel valued as a client. Training here is the best decision you could make for yourself and I couldn’t recommend it enough”

“I joined Studio16 after a sedentary 2020 and a 10+ year fitness hiatus. Nate was very responsive and did a great job matching me with Anthony, and after working him for only a month, I lost the weight and body fat I gained last year. 8 months later, my lifestyle and my body has completely changed and I’m still motivated to continue my progress.

The private environment is clean, well-equipped, and conducive to working out without distraction, and Anthony has been great at helping me plan every aspect of my fitness journey (exercise, sleep, nutrition — shout out to the excellent meal prep service too). I was intimidated before I signed up, but am so glad I did and think it’s worth every penny—most importantly, every time I leave Studio16 I feel like I’ve accomplished something.”

“For anyone interested in a high quality personal training experience, I highly recommend Studio 16!

My personal trainer Nick was super communicative, very experienced, prepared everyday with a new workout catered to my specific needs, and was overall a great guy to workout with! The entire process of learning about Studio 16 from Nate, meeting my trainer, and scheduling sessions was seamless from start to finish.”

“I have seen several trainers and Nate is in the top tier. He tailors his work outs to meet the client’s particular goals whether it’s gaining muscle, losing weight or firming up. Nate also pays special attention to form and precision which is paramount for those of us who are trying to avoid injuries.”

“I decided to take my fitness trainings more seriously a few months ago, and the best way to do it is with Nate. He prepared the best training plan which fits my needs and goals, helped me get the right nutritions and guided me through the whole process, taking me a few levels up. Nate was also available 24/7 to calls and text messages in his own professional way. I would highly recommend anyone, with any goals or level of experience, to work on it together with Nate. A+!!”

“I’ve been working out with Nate since summer 2018 - and I transitioned with him over to Studio 16 as one of it’s first clients. The fact that I chose to stick w/Nate as he transitioned should speak for his abilities - but I’m happy to elaborate.

When I started w/Nate I was attempting to get back into working out, as I’ve been a runner for a number of years, but had allowed work/life to get in the way. I needed a jump start back into it and to feel like it was something I could sustain - I wanted to feel accountable and be given guidance on how to make my workouts actually yield a visible result in my looks! Lastly, I needed a distraction from fertility issues my husband and I were going through.

Nate was a good fit, as in addition to his other certifications, he is also certified in training women pre-natal and postpartum. He started me out slow, but as we built up and he gave me a plan for workouts, I increasingly felt comfortable doing an entire workout (lifting weights, using the machines, etc.) by myself, which felt empowering. He also helped me monitor my nutrition and shift my protein/caloric intake to work towards achieving my goals. Fast forward to October 2018, I was in the best shape I’ve been in in many years and unexpectedly discovered I’m pregnant! Nate was excited for me (having been aware of our fertility struggles) and didn’t miss a beat - he transitioned me into a pre-natal workout plan and in doing so, described the specific exercises I’d be doing in order to strengthen my abs, back, etc. He made me feel so comfortable (despite my changing physicality and abilities) and I plan to workout with him throughout my entire pregnancy, and after!

I highly recommend Nate as a very knowledgeable and professional trainer - and on top of that, he’s laid back, funny and personable. He makes working out fun, and while the hour flies by for me, he still challenges me and I can feel myself getting stronger with each workout!”
