I've been training at DeGuili's Gym for hyrox with Coach Pooch, and it's become my favorite part of my Sunday mornings. Everyone I’ve met is welcoming and encouraging. And the workouts have a focused, hard-working atmosphere where everyone comes ready to grit it out together.If you're looking for a place to train hard, be challenged, and be part of a supportive community, I can't recommend this spot enough!

I love working out here especially with the crew that goes there. As a woman, walking into a fitness facility that appears male-dominated throwing around heavy weights can be intimidating, but everyone is so welcoming and encouraging. The energy is great, there’s an awesome variety of kettlebells, and the coaching is top-notch. Tom got me into kettlebell/landmine training years ago and helped build my strength and confidence. More recently, John Pooch’s Sunday HYROX classes pushed me in running (which you need practice to actually not perish during HYROX lol) and helped me PR come race day!!!Great people, great coaches, and a place that you definitely want to come back to!!!!

Great gym for those looking for structure and getting out of your comfort zone. Tom is supportive and has a no nonsense approach that I really appreciate. his community is welcoming and very encouraging. he is passionate about what he does and will push you to achieve your goals. would most definitely recommend!

Smart, focused, attentive, and supportive. Tom and his coaches are top notch. Strong recommend for strength training!

If you’re a person (beginner or pro) that’s looking for a gym that has a solid structured workout system and wants to have the choice of a class environment or open gym, I would highly recommend to join De Giuli’s Gym. Nine months ago I changed from military fitness because it was mainly cardio based. I wanted a system focused on weights and cardio. De Giuli’s gave me that and I haven't looked back!

Was only able to train here for a short time before moving but this was one of the absolute best gyms I ever worked out at. Tom makes you feel like you belong as long as you’re willing to do the work. I wish more gyms were like this. Can’t wait to get back there one day.

2026-05-29T16:52:40.184Z

One of the best gyms iv ever been to! The strongest iv ever been with conditioning incorporated. The mixture of unconventional strength training and power lifting has given me unbelievable results! Definitely no other place like it!

I have been working out at the strength factory (now De Giuli's gym) for a few years now. My background includes spending years doing conventional lifting and crossfit. I must say working out at De Giuli's gym has been the best type of gym for me to this day. The community is great, everyone is nice and welcoming, but above all, I have never had so much fun working out. The workouts are simple yet efficient and effective. Tom is a great teacher. He is very patient and meets you where you are. once you learn the workouts, results come fast. I encourage anyone to try De Giuli's gym. I am in the best shape of my life and have felt the best I ever have.

To say the Strength Factory is the best in the business would be an understatement.From the atmosphere to the people, there’s simply no place that can compare.We can’t forget about the equipment either. Tom has done a truly outstanding job of outfitting his gym with the best equipment possible.From the world’s heaviest kettlebells to the squat racks & even the cardio equipment. Tom spares no expense.It’s truly an Iron Paradise.What I enjoy most about the facility is that from the moment you walk through the door you’re greeted as if you’re from the neighborhood & everyone treats you like family.Even if you’re not a local or a regular, once you come back the people here remember you & you pick up right where you left off. The people you connect with here & the conversations are genuine.As an unconventional strength practitioner it’s nice to have a place to come to that had everything I need & more.The world’s heaviest kettlebells, maces, clubs, & sandbags all under one roof. Tom also does Landmine University so it’s nice to able to get together & push each other during workoutsYou can tell that it’s a place where everyone is welcomed no matter the experience level, but at the same time we all expect the best from one another & we’ll encourage one another to be our best selves.You’re not going to be forced or intimidated into doing things you’re uncomfortable with or that you may have seen Tom or other people do on the internet.It’s a place where you come to learn & push yourself & in doing so you walk out better every single time. Whether you learn a new exercise or set a new PR, you leave feeing accomplished after every session.The Strength Factory is somewhere you go when you’re tired of training the same way. When you’re tired of doing the same things & not getting the results you want come see Tom.Whether you’re new to unconventional strength training or an advanced practitioner, you need to make your way out to see Tom Degiuli at the Strength Factory!!

Easily the best gym on LI. I’ve been training for years and am also a coach. Whenever I’m in NY, I’m training here. Always learning, growing and pushing myself past my plateaus thanks to Tom. Best part is, even if you’re a beginner, you’ll learn. And safely. 10/10

2025-09-08T17:44:12.486Z

Worked with tom for 2 years and it was an incredible experience.He guided me through the whole workoutCorrected my technique and showed me that I had strength which is something I never thought I hadI considered myself weak , fragile , and zero confidence for many years but upon meeting tom and following his program that all went away within weeks YOU MUST GIVE THIS PLACE A CHANCE IF YOU WANT CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE !!!

2025-08-30T17:34:24.212Z

I’m not the most athletic and don’t have a background in strength training. Despite that, I found myself very comfortable going to this spot to slowly build that routine, strength, and familiarity.What Tom offers is not simply a gym. He offers guidance, community, support, and most importantly results. If you ever felt intimidated, hesitant, reluctant, or insecure about joining a place like this please give it a short. First class is free so you got nothing to lose and I bet you’ll stick around just like I did.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️You guys, there aren’t many big bells lying around but there are even less Monster Kettlebells lurking in dark gym corners being used for farmer carries or door stops. This is at The Strength Factory, Tom Degiuli’s gym in Long Island, and it’s absolutely worth the visit.Tom has cultivated the largest, most ridiculously heavy collection of functional fitness tools I’ve ever seen under one roof. If you love kettlebells, sandbags, landmine work, and all the stuff that builds real strength instead of just mirror muscles, this place is heaven.It’s not just about the equipment though. The atmosphere is pure grit and community. You walk in and feel like you’re in a space built for people who want to work hard and push themselves. Tom knows his craft and you can tell he’s obsessed with functional strength, performance, and making sure people get stronger the right way.If you’re serious about your training, you owe it to yourself to make the trip. This is a gym that respects the work and respects the weight. The Strength Factory is a one-of-a-kind experience! heavy, raw, and legendary.

I did Tom's online personal training programming that he offers and it was exactly what I needed to get back into the flow of my training. I went to Tom's gym over a year ago and was craving training the way he does ever since -- I never really cared about the aesthetics of working out, I just wanted to feel good, feel strong and do tough shit so my brain would be flooded with something other than the self doubting thoughts it normally is. After 3 months of his programming, I am tossing 150 lbs sandbags over my shoulders, feeling like I have more stamina and having less anxiety being in the gym.Tom's programming is THE shit, so you should sign up now because not only will you get strong but you'll feel so good overall.Thank you Tom🙏🏻

2025-08-15T21:32:41.550Z

Strength factory definitely change my life approaching my 3rd year working out at the strength factory was my best investment I look and feel better about myself I advise everybody who’s serious about getting in shape to sign up to the strength factory

2025-08-02T15:50:06.936Z

I usually stick to routines focused on high-density training and love exploring different gyms wherever I go. The Strength Factory truly stands out! It offers an environment that challenges you, a welcoming community that motivates and supports each other, and inspiration at every turn.Tom is an outstanding coach, providing insightful cues, expert coaching advice, and creative workouts. If you’re visiting or live in New York, don't miss out!! Make sure to check this place out you won’t regret it!

2025-07-12T21:40:36.242Z

I’ve been training unconventionally for about a year now, and I got inspired at the beginning of my journey seeing Tom throw a 361lb sandbag. Fast forward a year, and I took the drive out to train with him. He trains with the pack, leads by the example, and breaks down all the specifics. It’s a great time to own that moment of intensity in training, then be able to have a good laugh with him about it right after.Definitely taking another trip soon!

2025-04-01T16:28:08.067Z

I did online training with Tom, and he is a highly qualified and motivated coach. He was very thorough in explaining kettlebell movements I was unfamiliar with, ensuring I understood them properly. Tom pushes you to do the work, and if you commit, you’ll definitely feel the results. I’ve never felt more challenged in a training session than I did with Tom.I highly recommend training at The Strength Factory to anyone looking to take the next step in bettering themselves and elevating their training. Whether online or in person, Tom is truly dedicated to what he does, and his coaching is phenomenal.

2025-02-21T22:01:28.093Z

I trained with Tom Online for 3 months…. And let me tell you… the strength train was fully loaded. Over the course 3 months… I was able to get stronger than I ever thought previously was possible but the best gains were what it did for me mentally. Toms workouts are HARD. They will push you. Through preserving and trusting the process I gained a new baseline of what my body and mind are capable of. Tom modified things when needed and was always willing to go the extra mile to get extra videos to me if I needed it. 10/10 would recommended as an online trainer and overall beast of a human being! Hope to train with him in person one day!

2025-02-16T00:29:44.961Z

Been following Tom for some time and got into kettlebell workouts because of his content. Finally got the chance to stop into The Strength Factory and it was honestly my favorite workout i’ve had in a long time. 10/10 recommend to anyone who wants to do unconventional training. Reach out to Tom; Down to earth guy, effective method and great facility to get done what you need to get done.

2025-02-13T21:39:33.972Z

Build the body even the greek gods would be jealous of. Tom is world class, pair that with top of the line equipment and that’s the recipe for results that last.

2025-02-13T13:24:53.545Z

What Tom does at his gym is truly incredible, especially when you workout with him in the classes. The energy and motivation that is built inside this place is special, he motivates his people and everyone respects the Factory. It is truly a family style gym, can’t wait to get back out to Long Island to workout there again.

2025-01-22T21:24:00.673Z

I signed up for personal training with Tom at The Strength Factory, and it's been a game-changer for me. I was a bit nervous at first, but Tom was incredibly warm and welcoming. He immediately made me feel comfortable and paid close attention to my needs, setting reasonable standards that pushed me just enough.Tom's unconventional approach is truly unique, and I've seen better results here than at any other gym. His creative techniques have not only helped me build muscle but also made me confident using equipment like kettlebells and sandbags.What stands out about Tom is his dedication. He's not just a trainer; he's a great friend and a motivator who genuinely cares about your progress. The community he's built is equally amazing—everyone is supportive and friendly.Tom's focus on safety and his ability to tailor workouts to individual needs makes The Strength Factory stand out. Whether you're looking to lose weight or gain muscle, this place is for everyone. I can't recommend it enough!

2025-01-07T23:32:25.258Z

The Strength Factory is not my home gym where I weight and strength train, however I wanted to workout with Tom as I know he specializes in kettlebells, and I am currently working on perfecting the craft of kettlebell flow. I cannot say enough good things about the session. Tom is truly an expert in all things fitness regardless of what level you are. I truly felt like my session was customized for me. It’s not everyday you get to work with a trainer that makes you feel like you are learning, and makes you excited to continue working on the sport. My favorite part is that following our session, Tom sent me a comprehensive list of what he taught me so I could practice between sessions.I highly recommend training with Tom regardless of where you are in your fitness journey, or what your goals are. I am confident he will tailor each session to your needs and you won’t be disappointed!

2024-10-17T12:50:15.702Z

Tom knows his stuff and will get you results whether you are new to unconventional tools or been lifting for a while. The man is simple , direct & gives you the tough love you need to get long lasting results!

2024-09-29T12:54:30.343Z

Tom is a no nonsense type human. Real as it gets. Been following since his home training days. Big inspiration! I purchased the sandbag tutorial and it’s clean and clear with over 30 modules to get you tossing big weight around!

2024-09-29T02:44:05.547Z

Absolutely love working out at Strength Factory with Coach Tom! The community environment there is like no other and the workouts are killer!! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get better!

2024-09-28T23:47:46.561Z

10/10. Great for beginners to advanced. Tom pushes you to be your best. Great community of people. Great workouts. You’ll feel like you got your moneys worth after every workout every time.

2024-09-23T20:06:09.188Z

Tom is very knowledgeable. Peak physical training.If you know Weck Method or Landmine training or anything like that, that’s some of the stuff he does here - yeah. It’s his own though. His own programming.Whatever the case - I love this style of training. It’s challenging, it’s fun, tortuous at times but worth it.In my opinion this is the only place on Long Island really doing this style of training. I love it.I know there is OTF, F45, other local gyms that are AMAZING… I’m just saying… Tom is on another level. Awesome people too, everyone that comes here is great, can’t say enough good here 😂🙏

2024-09-20T03:04:08.409Z

I just finished my first few classes at the Strength Factory, and I couldn't be happier! The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, thanks to the owner, who makes sure everyone feels right at home—whether you’re a first-time client or a long-time member. The classes are motivating and energizing, and I already feel a sense of community. I’m excited to keep coming back and see my progress!
