What makes me different

Foundation Fitness NY isn't just another gym with trainers. I am a partner in your fitness journey who actually listens. From day one, I take the time to understand your goals, your challenges, and your current fitness level—then build a completely customized program around them. No generic routines or recycled workouts. i am committed to your specific success, adapting your training as you progress and checking in on what's working and what's not. i am laser-focused on results that matter to you, whether that's losing weight, building strength, improving mobility, or simply feeling confident in your own skin. And because i know your time is valuable, every session is purposeful and efficient. You get real attention, real programming, and real results—not just another workout.

Personalized Programming

Customized training plans tailored to your unique goals, body, and lifestyle—not cookie-cutter routines.

accountability

Someone in your corner who shows up when motivation fades. I'll keep you consistent, push you when needed, and celebrate every milestone—because showing up is half the battle.

Expert Guidance

Professional coaching that ensures proper form, prevents injury, and optimizes every rep for maximum results.

What i offer:

One on one training:

When you train with me at Foundation Fitness NY, you get my complete, undivided attention for every single session. No distractions, no splitting focus—just you and me working together toward your goals. I design every workout specifically for your body, your fitness level, and what you're working to achieve. I'm there to guide your form, push you when you need it, adjust on the fly when something isn't working, and celebrate every milestone with you. This is the most effective way to train because you get real-time feedback, proper progression, and the accountability that keeps you consistent. Whether you're brand new to fitness or getting back after time away, I meet you exactly where you are and build you up from there—safely, efficiently, and with results that actually last. It's just us, your goals, and a plan to get you there.

buddy training

Buddy training is where you and a friend train together under my guidance—getting all the benefits of personalized coaching while pushing each other to show up and give your best. You'll both follow customized programs tailored to your individual goals and fitness levels, but you'll work side by side, creating built-in accountability and motivation. There's something powerful about having someone in the trenches with you—celebrating wins together, encouraging each other through tough sets, and making the journey more enjoyable. I work with both of you to ensure proper form, appropriate progressions, and that each person is challenged at their own level. Whether you're training with a spouse, coworker, or longtime friend, buddy training gives you the personal attention you need with the added benefit of a training partner who keeps you honest. Plus, you're splitting the cost while still getting expert coaching. It's teamwork that builds results for both of you.

Online Programing

My online programming isn't just a cookie-cutter workout plan you download and never hear from me again—it's true remote coaching with real support. You get a fully customized program built around your goals, your schedule, and the equipment you have access to, whether that's a full gym or just a pair of dumbbells at home. But here's what makes it different: I'm with you every step of the way. We connect weekly for check-ins where we review your progress, discuss what's working, address any challenges, and adjust your program as needed. You're not on your own between check-ins either—message me anytime through the app with questions about form, exercise swaps, or anything else that comes up. As you get stronger and progress, your program evolves with you. No stagnant routines, no guessing if you're doing it right. You get the flexibility of training on your own time with the guidance and accountability of having me in your corner. It's personal training that fits your life, no matter where you are.

see what my clients say about me

I've been training with Gary for three years, and after trying other options, I came back to him—best decision I've made. He taught me the fundamentals as a beginner and now expertly guides me as an experienced lifter.
My body is in the best shape it's ever been, which is especially meaningful as a post-menopausal woman. Gary's expertise in women's nutrition sets him apart. He doesn't use cookie-cutter programs—he listens to your goals, concerns, and past injuries, then creates a plan specifically for you.
If you want real results from a trainer who truly invests in your success, I highly recommend Gary. 10 out of 10.
