J.K. Levien

”As a person in my 50’s who came back to physical exercise after a long layoff, I find that working out at The Training Zone has restored my strength, put me more in control of my body and significantly increased my overall energy level and stamina. The Training Zone has also proved to be a very efficient, focused, and congenial environment in which to exercise. I can’t imagine any reason ever to stop.”

Mark Osterman

“When I wanted to begin a weight loss/exercise program, I was intimidated by many fitness centers. The Training Zone was recommended to me by my doctor. I tried it out and found the staff to be professional, knowledgeable, patient, and motivating. They know how to keep my workouts from becoming HumDrum and boring, so I enjoy my workouts. The other members of the fitness center are all friendly, making it a great atmosphere to workout in. Now that 2 years have gone by I have lost 60 pounds, 9 inches off my waist, and 2 shirt sizes.

My mother, who had not seen me 10 months into my exercise program, did not recognize me. When entering a room at a family gathering my brothers and sisters, who I did not see for a year and a half, all gave me a standing applause for my new body. Also, on a recent cruise I was working out in the ship’s fitness center and all the other guests thought I was the instructor on duty.

I feel great and look great, and do you believe at one point I was afraid to wear shorts in public because my legs were so fat! Thanks to The Training Zone for helping me every step of the way.”

Suzie Gamrin

"I started exercising while in my 70’s and in good health.  I was satisfied with my personal trainer at that time, however, when he moved there was no one at that facility that suited me.

After about a year of inactivity, I was still healthy but beginning to experience some minor stiffness, aches, and less flexibility and stamina while doing tasks in my home and garden.  My doctor recommended that I resume an exercise program. 

After much research and visiting the different facilities in my area, I decided on the The Training Zone.

The trainers are very well educated, professional, and all have extensive experience working with older persons. 

Joe is genuinely interested in keeping me fit and he has been very successful.

I am honestly pleased with the way that I move and feel in my 80’s." 

Diane Zilz and Lewis Friedman

Almost two decades ago, Diane and Lew were sitting on a beach when a brute kicked sand in Lew’s face, oops, sorry wrong endorsement!

"It is true however, that at that time we were in sad physical shape. We had no stamina, no muscles, no strength, and mindlessly following unhealthy dietary habits. (In short we were the flaccidity twins).

Fortunately we found The Training Zone and trained with Erik and Gary. Most importantly, we have embraced his philosophy of exercise, healthy diet, and well being for the past nineteen years and counting.

Now we not only have strength, stamina, and muscles (big guns at that), but we also have set and achieved realistic goals every year. True, we work hard to reach these goals, but encouragement and guidance of the staff at the Training Zone is what makes it all possible, and we have fun and enjoyment doing it.

A genuine thanks are due to the gang at The Training Zone. We are looking forward to the next decade with you all and already see results!"

Elyce Cooper

“Since becoming a Massage Therapist I realized that I needed to set time out for myself and my body - while I helping others release stress and tension in theirs.

I needed to a set an appointment in my day that reflects a personal commitment to take care of myself.

I have trained with Erik for the past fourteen years and he has kept me safe from injuries while at the gym through watching my body mechanics and has help me work through injuries as a result of my job.

He customizes my workouts based on what I am looking to achieve which changes as my life changes. I have also noticed that I push myself harder with a personal trainer than I would by myself, and I love the motivation and positive atmosphere and am able to maximize my time while at the Training Zone to get a strong focused workout.”

Paul Miller

“Recently I retired and found that I needed an exercise program to control weight gain and develop additional strength and fitness. Today, my health is excellent! I’ve lost 16 pounds and have kept the weight off because of a twice a week, one-on-one program developed by The Training Zone. My personal trainer provides the motivation I need to maintain my weight and stamina. The equipment and facilities are state-of-the-art and the location, in Englewood Cliffs, is perfect. I look forward to every visit. Join now and develop a healthier life-style!”
