Mark Fisher Fitness Reviews

My friends think I'm crazy to travel 45 minutes each way to go to this gym. I'm not crazy because this gym has the combination of great training with knowledgeable coaches and a welcoming community from the other Ninjas. No other gym I've ever gone to comes close.

As a senior citizen (this Ninja is 65+ and swings 16 kg, deadlifts 32 kg!) the detailed coaching during classes (yes even Homebody!) is necessary to not only keep me strong but prevent injuries.

Truly the best fitness/gym experience I've ever had. I've been a member for over 10 years and there is NO other place like this. Incredible coaches with an impressive depth of knowledge, challenging but accessible training, and more than anything FUN. Welcoming no matter who you are or what your fitness background is. I wouldn't be as fit and active (and happy!) as I am today if it wasn't for MFF!

Mark Fisher Fitness caters to every single individual they come into contact with. I have consistently trusted Mark Fisher Fitness with my health and hotness journey since 2013 and there has never been a time when I did not feel taken care of. Mark Fisher Fitness's knowledge of fitness is addressed in a way so every individual seeking guidance is able to get the results that they desire (not the results that were imposed on them by society).
Mark Fisher Fitness acknowledges all the factors that go into fitness and getting real sustainable results. I have learned how to move beautifully but I have also learned how to recover beautifully. Everyone on staff at Mark Fisher Fitness knows exactly who I am as an individual and what cues I respond best to. Training with Mark Fisher Fitness means you are a part of a community of people who want you to thrive and succeed. I do not always want to show up to my workouts but every time I do I know I will have community of leaders cheering me on.
I truly have never experienced anything like this magical place and I am constantly being surprised by how Mark Fisher Fitness goes above and beyond to meet the needs of their community!

Update July 13, 2021
Returning to an in person fitness class has been one of my favorite things in the post vaccination life. I love the Mark Fisher Fitness acknowledges the hard year we have all had and is helping us use the difficult year to create a positive outcome. I am so grateful for the in person cues that I am once again able to receive and so amazing at how helpful each cue helps me get way better than I could on my own.

Had a great first experience at MFF, the entire staff is wonderful, kind, supportive and warm. What a great tribute to the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies. Just Wow.

The MFF team stole my heart over 10 years ago! I found out about this magical place as a personal trainer learning from MFF con ed, led by some of the smartest coaches in NYC. Now, I’m a Homebody Ninja taking their strength and conditioning classes from home.

What I adore most about these workouts is the coaches themselves. I’ve had the pleasure of taking classes with Chris, Sam, Rachel, Rog, and Chad - all with different styles and vibes, but no matter what, ALWAYS hitting that perfect balance between hard work, compassion, and fun. I’ve tried many fitness classes and modalities, and I’ll tell ya - some gyms are very technique focused, but not fun. Others are entertaining, but you’re at risk for injury or lack of results because there’s no regard for technique. MFF strikes that perfect balance of both serious fitness/technique, PLUS fun, acceptance, and pure joy.

MFF changed my life in many ways, and I am forever grateful to this team 🩷.

Give them a call :)

Great atmosphere, love the approach to fitness and the growth mindset fostered by this community. Improved my fitness greatly without making radical unsustainable changes to my lifestyle.

I have been a Ninja and part of this community since 2009. This is not only place for fitness of the body, but of the mind, heart and the soul. I can't imagine working out any place else.

I f'n love this place! Not only am I getting stronger and fitter than ever, but it is the most welcoming and supportive gym ever. My classes are seriously a highlight of my week. Highly recommend!

I love working out at MFF. The instructors are all wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable. Relatively small class sizes ensure that you receive individualized feedback, which is delivered with positivity and encouragement designed to help you improve, feel well and progress with your goals. The other clubhouse members are also always positive and provide a sense of community. MFF offers a welcoming space for everyone to work on their health and wellness without feeling intimidated or overwhelmed.

MFF is the only private gym I would ever want to belong to in NYC. I started here almost 10 years ago, having never been a "gym person". I wasn't so much intimidated by traditional gyms (I belonged to NYSC and Equinox for years), as much as I didn't have the knowledge and support to have a methodical and effective plan, stay consistent, and actually get better/stronger.

At MFF, the coaches are beyond phenomenal -- smart, multi-certified, motivating, and full of energy and humor. They create such a welcoming, supportive and motivating atmosphere that we all are comfortable asking questions, trying new things, and understanding WHY the movement patterns and carefully crafted 4-week cycles actually work.

I've learned so much over the years--and continue to learn--and MFF has legit changed me in massive ways, both physically and mentally. I love the learning and the process, and I never realized it could be so doable, effective, and fun.

(Oh and the other members are amazing as well! I love the vibe and diverse NYC clientele--we can all be our wacky, creative, and normal selves.)

TENS TENS TENS! NO NOTES!

I’ll say it before and I will say it again: this is an amazing community center that happens to be a gym. I love it not just because I used to think kettle bells were gross and now can comfortably toss my suitcase into an overhead compartment, but really because I’ve met people I will happily spend Thanksgiving with.

When you find a community that gets you up every morning for a 7:30am workout you stick with it. I can’t say enough about how much I love the workouts, the trainers, and the all around feel of MFF!

The energy, support, close community and love are unsurpassed! You are pushed while allowing you to “run your own race”! I forget that I am taking classes virtually-that is how good they are!

I am so grateful for Mark Fisher Fitness homebody classes. The supportiveness and the community, the opportunity to be consistent and the reliability of the amazing teachers - to work out from home, or anywhere I am - MFF is THE GREATEST!

I've never been to the Clubhouse, but the Homebody Zoom fitness classes have kept me sane (and healthy) during the pandemic and beyond! It's an awesome, welcoming, silly, community, and I'm so glad I found it!

I've now been a member for 3 1/2 years, and couldn't be happier. It's hard to teach on zoom - I've done it. The instructors are terrific. They give feedback all the time and it's a totally fun and supportive atmosphere. Very very happy I joined.

Regarding Unicorn Accountability Coaching: it's been a totally great experience. Britta is supportive but pushes in all of the right ways. And the time (12 weeks) is enough to really get started on changing habits past the initial thrill of something new. I've really enjoyed that ability to text/email any time and plan phone calls as well. It's really made a difference for me, and the pricing is very reasonable and a great value. The communication is always very clear and all staff super responsive and helpful.
