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 — 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?

Most clients begin within 24 hours of reaching out. Tell us your goals and we’ll match you to the right trainer and confirm your first session — usually 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 trainers certified, insured, and background-checked?

Yes — every trainer passes a 7-step vetting process: NCCA-accredited certification (NASM, ACE, NSCA, ACSM, ISSA), a 50-state background check, references, and a personal interview. We carry $2M in liability coverage and only 1 in 10 applicants is hired.

Do you offer female trainers?

Yes. We have experienced female trainers and match you to the trainer you’re most comfortable with — many of our clients are women training for strength and confidence.

How much does it cost?

Starter packages begin at $249 for three 45-minute sessions ($299 for 60-minute). Per-session rates run $105–$160 depending on length — typically 30–50% less than Equinox personal training, with no membership required.

Do you offer couples training?

Yes. Couples train together with one trainer — accountability that doubles results. Couples sessions start from $99 per person.

Which neighborhoods do you serve?

All of Manhattan — the Upper East and West Sides, Midtown, Tribeca, SoHo, Chelsea, the Financial District, Greenwich Village, and Hell’s Kitchen.
