How Type A Training Can get you in The Best shape Of Your Life

At Type A Training, we understand that reaching your personal fitness and health goals isn't easy. It involves learning new exercises that work for you and ensuring you're using the proper technique to avoid injuries. Our personal trainers prioritize efficiency, helping you make the most of your time at the gym. Let’s face it—your time is valuable, and wasting it can lead to frustration and quitting due to a lack of results.

For many, the thought of starting an exercise program can be downright intimidating. And let’s not forget the biggest hurdle: actually getting to the gym. You have to decide whether to go before work, during work, or face the demotivating challenge of going after work. And then there’s the weather and traffic—these obstacles can prevent you from even starting a fitness routine.

This is where we come in. We bring fitness to you in a safe and convenient environment, making it easy for you to commit to your health and achieve your goals.

Train With One Of Our Certified Type A Training Professionals!

Strength Training

Do you do a lot of cardio? Our personal trainers in Manhattan know in order to get the most out of your training and to reduce injury, strength training must be included in any fitness routine.

Core Conditioning

Having a strong core is not only  helpful for any type of sports that you play but it will help reduce your risk to injuries by improving your posture.

Yoga, Pilates, and Flexibility

Many people complain of being too tight or not moving fluidly throughout the day. The solution is doing moment training. Move with more ease and less effort with these types of workouts..

Boxing and Kickboxing

Want to punch harder and faster or just want to learn basic or advance moves? Not only to reduce injury but you will get much more out of your workout when done correctly.

HIIT Training

Like high-intensity workouts? HIIT training is the number one way to do this. Burn more calories and increase your metabolic rate for several days after each workout.  

Mix Things Up

Getting bored with the same workouts? It's true that this happens, that's the reason our trainers recommend every 2 to 3 months you should be changing up your routine to keep progressing.  

Change Trainers Every 12 To 16 Weeks!

You can change trainers (optional) every 12 to 16 weeks. This will insure that you are always learning new and alternative ways to stay in shape. Strength training is only one component but we also have experts in boxing, pilates, yoga, and much more!

My name is Fabian. I’m a personal trainer for six years. I specialize in weight loss & nutrition, strength and conditioning flexibility/mobility sports medicine, and body weight exercises. My greatest win was training my mother. My greatest was not only overcoming my past shoulder injury and herniated discs in the lumbar spine. But helping my mom lose 140lbs Is the trophy taker!

Amanda, De Los

My name is Amanda De Los Santos. After facing adversity throughout my weight loss journey, I decided to dedicate my time to helping others improve their mindset and lifestyle. My goal as a certified personal trainer is to provide clients with an experience that is manageable but leaves you feeling confident and strong. We all deserve to be healthy!

Leanne

Leanne obtained her 200 hour yoga certification in January 2021 to deepen her knowledge on the practice so that she can share the healing benefits of a yoga practice with others. Her goal is to share the healing and powerful impact yoga can bring to others through a strong mind-body connection.

Her experience as a yoga teacher includes Hatha, Vinyasa, Prenatal, & Restorative yoga. She has experience working 1:1 with clients helping clients reach their personal goals from beginner to advanced levels. Many of her clients have achieved their goals of increasing flexibility, mindfulness, injury recovery, and more.

Azure

Azure started practicing yoga as a child and has been certified to teach yoga and meditation to adults and children since 2014. As a lifelong athlete, Azure is well versed in strength training (both weighted and unweighted) and mobility as well as running, swimming, and biking. Through integrating yoga and fitness, she will facilitate a training program that accommodates your needs and meets your goals. Azure has experience teaching slow paced hatha and restorative yoga, faster paced power vinyasa classes, and adaptive exercises for clients working with injuries or other specific needs.

Marisa’s goal is to make every workout a new, fun, and (maybe) challenging experience for her clients, ensuring they not only leave feeling accomplished with the work they just did, but also comfortable and happy in their own skin and body.

Yessi

Certified in Power Yoga and extensively trained in all forms of yoga, meditation, cardio, and strength training, I make fitness both fun and effective. I emphasize breath-work with all my clients because everything truly starts with the breath. Many people unknowingly hold their breath throughout the day, restricting oxygen flow to their muscles—the only way to genuinely release tension and reconnect with their true energy beneath all the layers.

I especially love working with children, as I can be a big kid myself, which helps me bring out that playful spirit not only in kids but also in the adults I work with. Alongside yoga and fitness coaching, I also coach kids in running races in NYC, encouraging them to build endurance, confidence, and a love for movement in the vibrant energy of the city.

I believe that in this very moment, you have a choice—to move closer to your soul or further away from it. Through my experience training clients, I’ve learned how vital accountability is. You must be there for yourself to improve, and it’s a beautiful thing to accept when you need a push or support from someone else to achieve your goals. It’s all about taking steps forward, and that’s what I love to help my clients do.

Lauren D

Lauren is a passionate, driven, and certified personal trainer with an extensive background in competitive running and swimming. She ran both cross country and track & field throughout high school and was an active member of the swim team during her senior year and college career. In 2019, she ran her first-ever marathon in 3 hours and 25 minutes, qualifying her for the Boston Marathon, which she ran this past April. She is a self-trained marathon runner, so if you are training for a race, looking to fine-tune your running form, or simply wanting to add more cardio to your routine, Lauren can help you meet your goals! 2 months before the Boston Marathon she got a stress fracture in her ankle, putting her in a boot for a month and then leaving only a month out of the boot before the marathon. Lauren was forced to get creative and create a workout plan that had her off her feet but also maintained her aerobic fitness as much as possible by continuing her passion for swimming in and outside the pool. It worked out well actually, as with less than a month on the roads before the marathon she was able to finish in 3 hours 39 min (not a personal best, but not too far off of it). Lauren has lots to share in terms of injury prevention as well as low or no impact exercises that are still cardio-heavy!
