30 years of coaching. One goal: your results.
Fitness Trainer NYC: Personal Training was founded by Jim Gierlich with a simple mission: to deliver focused, ego-free coaching in a private environment where clients can train without distractions.
Located at 54 West 39th Street in Manhattan, just steps from Grand Central, our studio operates on a strict one-trainer, one-client basis — complete with private changing rooms and showers. Alongside 1-on-1 private training, I also offer 6-week Beginner Weight Training programs and personalized virtual coaching for clients across NYC and beyond.
My Coaching Philosophy
Great results don’t come from random, exhausting workouts — they come from smart programming, proper form, and consistency. When we work together, we start with your specific goals, injury history, and lifestyle. From there, we build a structured strength and conditioning plan that meets you where you are and progresses safely over time.
