Great personal and semi private training classes for anyone looking to start for the first time or get back into a workout regiment in the Park Slope/Gowanus/Carroll Gardens area. All trainers and members have been welcoming and helpful to me in working towards my fitness goals.

Paul and his incredible team of trainers have provided personalized training that is challenging, nuanced, and impactful. With the expansion into small group sessions, there is now even more flexibility around scheduling and price. Strongly recommend!

The universal praise for Lapine Fitness is well earned. Paul, Jos and Emilio are all fantastic and the training truly feels bespoke. The best option I have found in my area (Park Slope) but worth coming out for if you can make it a part of your regular practice. They care about their clients and their development and know their stuff.

I have had the pleasure of being trained by Paul and Emilio, and they are both amazing trainers and individuals. I feel very looked after and cared for. At the same time I know I am getting a great workout tailored to my fitness level and fitness goal. Also super convenient if you are in the Gowanus and Carroll Gardens area. And just a short walk from Park Slope! Thank you, Paul and Emilio!

After a long lay off from working out Paul made me feel super comfortable and confident to get back into it. I love having a great personal trainer I can walk to in Park Slope and look forward to my training sessions.

This is my first experience with personal training, and it's been a great experience. Paul is patient, thoughtful about my goals and has been pushing me in the right way to help get me stronger and improve my posture and overall fitness. Would definitely recommend - especially if you are in the Park Slope, Gowanus, Carroll Gardens area.

I highly recommend LFS! I started working with Paul in January - extremely out of shape after years of chronic foot and achilles injuries. Paul listened carefully to my history and concerns and developed a training program for me that quickly decreased my plantar fasciitis pain and built up my mobility and strength.

What an amazing experience! I am in it for the long-haul! Today I found out I lost 5 pounds, and I would not have made it this far without my tribe (Paul & Lapine Fitness Studio).

Paul and his team here really show a level of care that I’m not sure you can find at most places. Assuring that you not only get your moneys worth but also reach the goals you set for yourself. Wouldn’t want to work with anyone else in New York !

Nothing can compare to Paul and the LFS fam! Hands down, best choice I’ve made. The fantabulous team at LFS makes me actually want to work out. I look forward to walking through the doors and always feel amazing when I leave. You’ll see more results with LFS in 3 months than you would with anyone else in 3 years!

LFS is a welcoming space with amazing trainers! I came in with concerns of making sure I’m working out correctly after having a neck injury and I have been able to feel confident with any and all workouts.

I was one of the many who have the post new years slump when you just don't feel comfortable in your body. However, discovering Lapine Fitness Studio was seriously life changing!

I recently joined this boutique gym located conveniently at the crossroads of Park Slope, Gowanus, and Carroll Gardens, making it the perfect spot for someone who needs to fit a workout during the work day. The easy commute to the gym plays a crucial role in maintaining my workout consistency, which is essential for achieving my fitness goals. I have had the privilege of working with Paul, undoubtedly the best local personal trainer serving the Carroll Gardens, Park Slope, Boerum Hill, and Gowanus areas. Paul has shown me a deep understanding of my goals and took the time to study how my body responded to different exercises. He designed a personalized routine that has allowed me to progress and grow, both physically and mentally. In just over three months, I have seen good transformation. Starting at 155lbs, I've gained 15lbs, bringing me to 170lbs, and I'm well on my way to reaching my ultimate goal of 185lbs. The muscle gains have been exceptional, and I've never felt healthier or more energized. Gaining weight has been always a struggle for me and Paul helped me get to where I am today. Paul's positive attitude, extensive knowledge, and unwavering motivation have kept me on track even during those days when I didn't feel like pushing myself (literally every training day lol). As a result, I am now in the best shape of my life and have never felt stronger or more capable. I cannot thank Paul enough for his guidance and support in helping me achieve my fitness goals. If you're looking for a top-notch personal trainer in the Gowanus, Carroll Gardens, Park Slope, and Boreum Hill area, I recommend Paul. Less

I highly recommend LFS. I wanted to get back into a regular movement routine while managing a chronic health condition. I also wanted the accountability of working out with a trainer. Jos is excellent at challenging me while being mindful of what I can manage physically. I appreciate how thoughtfully programmed each session is and I am definitely getting stronger!

I've been training at Lapine Fitness Studio since November 2022 and it's been transformative for me. I've never been able to get a consistent fitness routine going for myself, and I was looking for someone that could really partner with and coach me on it.

Paul and the team here go above and beyond to make sure you get taken care of! Friendly, patient and knowledgeable trainers and a great environment to work out in. Highly recommend to anyone!

Very professional, great coaches and such a fun environement!

Amazing and passionate coaches!

I started training with Paul after being away from the gym for 3 years. He is very thoughtful and supportive of any goals you may have, and pays attention to your overall well-being. The facility is clean and bright, and he makes working out kind of fun :)

A great personal training experience. All the trainers focus on form and sustainable progress. Paul is great to work with, the studio is clean and private with all of the equipment you need

I got into kettlebells through Simple & Sinister, but quickly realized that, with the repetitive daily movements, I’d be setting myself up for a lot of pain if my form was lacking. Since Paul is certified, I asked if he could watch me and make sure that wouldn’t happen.

I got into kettlebells through Simple & Sinister, but quickly realized that, with the repetitive daily movements, I’d be setting myself up for a lot of pain if my form was lacking. Since Paul is certified, I asked if he could watch me and make sure that wouldn’t happen. In just a few sessions, he not only made me confident that I could do these movements every day with heavier weight than I initially thought and showed me how to utilize more parts of my body during the exercises, but he identified some weaknesses in various rotations in my body and gave me some simple (but challenging) exercises to improve my trouble areas. It’s been 5 months and I’ve never felt more confident in my body. Now I’m obsessed with doing CARSs and have seen a great improvement in my general mobility. Thanks, Paul! Less

Paul is a great, attentive trainer, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. If you are looking for someone who will accurately assess and address your particular needs and limitations, and then take you to the next level, Paul is your trainer.

My new trainer. Top knotch. Blessed can continue my health journey with him. Yayyy

Paul and his team really do a great job. Jos, my coach, is amazing.

I’ve been working with Paul for about a month now, and have 2 (silly) regrets: - Not starting sooner - Not jumping on for 6 months from the start Seriously, Paul is awesome!

I’ve been working with Paul for about a month now, and have 2 (silly) regrets: - Not starting sooner - Not jumping on for 6 months from the start Seriously, Paul is awesome! Gym is super clean & private. I have a complicated health history, with a ton of old injuries all over my body. Paul has beautifully programmed things in to support those recoveries with the rest of our training, and I consistently leave feeling both physically and mentally better than how I walked in. His willingness to thoroughly answer every ridiculous question I’ve thrown at him makes me feel completely safe & comfortable that I’m in the best possible hands. As a very overweight 30-something year old, I wasn’t sure what to expect coming in. After a month, I now know that I can expect an hour of positivity, support, and growth - and some of the best hours of the week! Less

Paul worked with me to set more specific goals and target areas of interest based on my wants/needs. He was very attentive and instructive about form and was happy to answer any questions I had. The experience felt very personalized. He would recognize if I was either having trouble or excelling with a certain task to adapt the exercise to be most suitable for my comfort level. Always a clean space, always respectable staff, and always a great workout. Would definitely recommend getting in touch! Less

Paul, the owner, is caring and thoughtful. He paired me with a specific trainer to meet my fitness needs. The studio is clean and well maintained. Highly recommend this studio.

I am having a great experience working with Paul and his team. They listen to what I want and meet me where I am in terms of exercise readiness and ability. I get a great workout and, I actually look forward to my next one because I feel so good afterwards. I’m at the beginning of my fitness journey, so maybe pics will follow after a few months.

Paul really took the time to walk me through each of the strength exercises and how they would help me get to my goals. Not only is he extremely knowledgable, but he was very patient and enthusiastic and the space was fantastic. Great equipment and a clean environment. Highly recommend!

Awesome gym! Clean and great atmosphere

I don’t often leave reviews but LaPine fitness studio is fantastic. 10/10 recommend!

Very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended A+++

Great place to get a vigorous workout. Very well equipped, clean space.

This training facility is unique in that it is a truly 1-on-1 personalized approach to fitness. The space is well equipped, clean, and private. I recently had a great boxing workout here! There is also access to a squat rack, dumbbells and kettlebells, and more- all the classics that you need to become strong and healthy! Highly recommend training here with one of their skilled personal trainers!

I had a great time working one on one with Paul! The place is clean and he was so helpful. I learned a lot and was exactly the right amount of sore the next day. I will definitely be going back, that workout was a highlight of my week!

I’ve been working with Paul for about six months now and he’s been amazing.

Paul is great! He explains things very clearly and got me excited about fitness again. Highly recommend!

Been training with Paul for a few months and its been wonderful. Paul is a blast to work with and the best trainer I've had. Always motivating and nice. The facility is clean. Workouts are engaging, already seeing great results. 10/10

I am pumped after my first session at Lapine Fitness. Paul took into consideration my goal as runner and created a workout to help me in that area. Perhaps my goal to run the NYC marathon is closer!

Awesome spot. Clean, good equipment and a greatt environment to train!

I have been using LPS a few months now and actually enjoy the workouts he specifically designed for me based on my age, fitness level and rotator cuff injury. Paul is always accessible for questions or to tweak my routine as needed.

Highly Recommend!! Paul is the most knowledgeable personal trainer I’ve ever had. If you want to make sure that you have proper form and technique, this is the guy for you. He gives you the extra push you need to really give it your all and will make sure that you get a good workout in a safe way. Love how he adapts the training to best fit your goals!! Go ahead and book a session!!

I’ve been training with Paul for a few weeks now and have had a great experience. Paul’s a total professional – always positive and encouraging while never failing to challenge and push you to go further with your workouts. He’s super knowledgeable and can adapt training to whatever your skills and goals are. Highly recommend - don’t hesitate booking your first session with him.

Paul was professional and made me feel comfortable. The gym was clean and he wiped down the equipment after I was finished with it. He was patient, demonstrated and explained the purpose of the exercises before he had me do them! I am definitely going back again and will recommend him to my friends and family!!!

Lapine Fitness Studio is great. Paul is very knowledgable and really takes the time to figure out where you need improvement to meet your goals. I’ve learned lots about proper form and technique from him and I highly recommend you give Lapine Fitness a try.

Grateful for Paul and his coaching. He has kept me accountable and motivated to train for a marathon. The workouts has been effective, I feel stronger and my running is getting better and better.

Paul is a great personal trainer who really knows hit stuff. The place is always clean and has literally everything you need to get a great workout in. Great spot to get a good workout in during this whole pandemic between gyms closing and needing to socially distance this place is a hidden gem in Brooklyn

Lifesaver during this season. There are cleaning and tracing protocols put in place to protect clients and trainers. Paul is amazing. He has put in place a program to meet me where I was and I see progress weekly and can say I am finally pursuing my goal of being a healthier me.

Paul truly helped me get to where I wanted to be. Can't recommend enough.

Paul is fantastic trainer! He worked with me and got to where I wanted to be. Highly recommend!

Paul and I worked together for a couple years while I was in NYC. I wanted to box but have chronic neck tension, which prevented me from enjoying a lot of other sports.

I've really enjoyed working with Paul - I do boxing sessions with my daughter and it is helping us both feel a lot stronger, while honing our skills and having fun. Paul is patient, clear, and detailed. I highly recommend!

Lapine fitness is not only a fantastic facility but is run by a tremendously talented and intelligent trainer. I know Paul personally and he is not only a great trainer his is an incredible person. If you are in the area and looking to start the new year off right, do your self a favor a set up your initial meeting now. You won’t be disappointed!

I’ve been training with Paul for years, from preparing ultra marathons to improving boxing technique. Training is personalized and focused on my needs. The studio is always clean and sanitized, Paul is always on time! Highly recommended for the look-good-feel-good effect ;)

Super clean and brand new gym! They follow strict protocol which makes me feel safe! Paul is a phenomenal, professional, and motivating, personal trainer!

Paul is an incredible trainer who both challenges you and keeps you in check to know your limits. I am very grateful to him for helping me to work out my back due to scoliosis. He looked up relevant information and did his research to know how to best help me.

Super clean space with a great trainer! Paul is knowledgeable, patient, and makes every workout fun and challenging. LFS is beautiful and clean and Paul takes every step to make sure everyone feels comfortable and ready to work!

In addition to being a very kind, dynamic, and encouraging trainer, Paul has done a great job of keeping LFS well maintained and clean.

Great experience training with Paul. He makes it fun and accessible no matter what your fitness level. Looking forward to the next class!

Paul Lapine is a terrific trainer, I have worked with him for several months. He is motivating, knowledgeable, and nice. I recommend him highly.

Had a really good training session with Paul! It was my first time going to a workout in awhile due to COVID so I was a bit nervous if I could keep up but Paul was super patient and helpful with tailoring the workout to be just right. He's a wonderfully nice, professional person and I would highly recommend his services!

Attended a great outdoor workout class led by Paul Lapine. He was super nice and friendly from the get go. The class itself was a mix of exercises, so never got boring, plus went by super fast. It was also easy to tailor to the different skill levels. I was definitely sore the next day, a sign of a great workout :) Highly recommend to anyone !
