The Resistance: Non-Judgmental, Results-Based Personal Training

Whether you're training for the Iron Man race or transitioning from post-surgical PT to a regular fitness program, trainers at will work with you to meet your goals.

Featuring TRX Training—or a system of bands that allows your muscles to challenge themselves against one's own body weight—clients build strength, stability and endurance, while working out in a relaxed non-judgemental atmosphere.

"I work with runners, football players, wrestlers," said trainer Joseph Frisenda."I can't think of a sport that TRX Training wouldn't translate to."

By helping his clients build core strength and muscle control, he said they not only perform better, but also protect themselves from injuring or re-injuring joints.

"We have a lot of people come who just finished a physical therapy regimen and are looking to transition back into working out," Frisenda said. "We'll talk with physical therapists about what the person needs going forward."

Since The Resistance offers purely personal training, there's never any wait time for a treadmill or elliptical.

"Gyms can be intimidating," said office manager Danielle Colantonio. "Here, there's no one to judge you. It's just you and your trainer."

Sessions are by appointment only—and trainers will come in as early as 5 a.m.

All personal trainers are NASM certified.

Garrett Glaser, a Dobbs Ferry resident, has been a client at The Resistance for a number of months.

"I used to go to a larger gym where I felt like one in a million," Glaser said. "Here, I feel like I'm being attended to. My trainer is really good and pays attention to my needs."

Since one of Glasser's goals was to lose weight, his trainer also works with his diet and nutrition plan.

"Whenever I come in, he asks, "Garrett, what did you eat for dinner last night?,'" Glasser said. "It's that kind of approach that gets you results."
