If there is a center of the New York City personal training community, some may say it is somewhere in the mid-upper 50\’s on the East Side.

 

Recently, I had the pleasure of catching up with Jonas Serrano, the Founder of Phyt NYC.  It had been over a year since I had seen him and there was a lot to catch up on.  Since my last visit, Phyt NYC had undergone a lot of changes to improve the experience for both independent personal trainers and their clients.  Mission accomplished.

 

Phyt NYC has always been a great space for trainers.  That\’s because, quite frankly, there is plenty of open space.  Plus, you will also find all of the equipment that a personal trainer needs to put a client through a complete workout.  As part of the renovation, Jonas opened up the area even further to incorporate an area for Muay Thai training, which also doubles as a small group training area.

 

Fortunately, this did not compromise the rest of the offerings at Phyt NYC.  You will still find the full array of kettle bells, dumb bells, platforms, and other larger primary pieces of equipment.

 

Phyt NYC has also made the space more convenient.  Jonas installed male and female locker rooms, both with showers and lockers. (Yes, towels are included, too!)  In addition to the daily lockers, Phyt NYC boasts a locker rental opportunity for both trainers and clients.  So, as a personal trainer who spends a lot of time at Phyt NYC, you can \”leave your office at the office.\”  The cherry on top, for me, was learning that they also have a laundry service. Immediately, I thought about the client who is making every excuse not to exercise.  These amenities help a personal trainer overcome every objection.

 

For Jonas, athletics and exercise has been in the family for generations.  Jonas followed in his father\’s athletic footsteps and found his passion for fitness at a very early age.  Athletics, exercise, and family certainly shine through in the culture he has built at Phyt NYC and how he maintains the facility.

 

Every personal trainer has a list of things they want in a facility that they can bring their clients.  Then they have their wish list of other criteria.  Phyt NYC checks a lot of the boxes on both lists.  If you are in the East 50\’s, stop by Phyt NYC, ask for Jonas.  Tell him you read this article on NeighborhoodTrainers.  Enjoy!

Be A Little Better Everyday

Establishing positive daily habits is a powerful way to create long-lasting changes and improve your overall well-being. By incorporating these nine simple habits into your routine, you can positively impact your physical health, mental clarity, and personal growth. Let’s dive into these habits and explore the benefits they bring to your life.

One Hour of Exercise

Engaging in at least one hour of exercise daily helps boost your energy levels, promotes weight management, and strengthens your cardiovascular system. Regular exercise also releases endorphins, improving your mood and reducing stress. If you aren’t sure how to get started, hire a personal trainer.

Two Liters of Water

Staying properly hydrated by consuming two liters of water per day promotes healthy digestion, enhances cognitive function, and supports overall cellular health. Water also aids in flushing out toxins from your body and helps maintain healthy skin.

Three Cups of Tea

Drinking three cups of tea, such as green, herbal, or black tea, provides a host of benefits, including antioxidant protection, improved digestion, and enhanced immune function. Tea can also help relax the mind and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Four Colors on Your Plate

Including a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables in your meals ensures a broad range of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. The vibrant colors indicate the presence of beneficial phytochemicals, which help reduce inflammation, support a strong immune system, and promote optimal health.

Five Minutes of Meditation

Taking just five minutes each day to practice meditation can improve focus, reduce anxiety and stress, and promote emotional well-being. It allows you to cultivate mindfulness, gain mental clarity, and develop a sense of inner peace.

Six Songs that Motivate You

Listening to six motivational songs each day can uplift your mood, boost motivation, and provide a positive outlook. Music has the power to inspire, evoke emotions, and drive you towards achieving your goals.

Seven Minutes of Laughter

Laughter is indeed the best medicine. Devote seven minutes to engaging in activities that bring joy and laughter, whether it’s watching a funny video, spending time with loved ones, or reading jokes. Laughter reduces stress, enhances immune function, and improves overall well-being.

Eight Hours of Sleep

Getting a restful eight hours of sleep every night is crucial for your physical and mental health. Quality sleep supports brain function, promotes optimal hormone regulation, and aids in the body’s repair and recovery processes.

Read Nine Pages of a Book

Dedicating time to read nine pages of a book each day enhances knowledge, expands creativity, and improves cognitive abilities. Reading provides mental stimulation, reduces stress, and offers a valuable opportunity for personal growth and self-reflection. Incorporating these nine daily habits into your routine can lead to transformative changes in your life. From physical fitness and hydration to mental well-being and personal growth, each habit contributes to your overall health and happiness. Remember, change happens gradually, so start by incorporating one or two habits at a time and gradually build upon them. Embrace these habits as a lifestyle, and you’ll witness the positive impact they have on your well-being. Start today and embark on a journey towards a happier, healthier you.
