What people say about us
SANGER (FLATIRON)
“Studio 16 has been an amazing experience. I’ve never used a personal trainer before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. However Nate made me feel so comfortable right away. I was able to explain my goals and why I’m looking to start my fitness journey. He paired me with the perfect trainer, Rich. We got along great from the first session and the rest is history. I’ve learned so much about weights and nutrition. Rich pushes me to dig deeper when I feel like giving up. He’s super motivating and he really wants me to reach my goals and I trust that he’s on my side right there with me. The flatiron studio is perfectly located and you have access to play your own music in a personal space just you and your trainer. I highly recommend Studio 16. If you’re on the fence about it, this is the message telling you to sign up. It’s worth it!!!”
INGRID (HELLS KITCHEN)
“My experience with Studio 16 has been truly remarkable. I received a call back from Nate the very next day after making the request online. He asked about my goals and promised to get me there by pairing me with the right trainer. From beginning to end everything was setup in 2 days and I started with my trainer, Jonathan, a couple of days after signing up. My trainer Jonathan is truly a great trainer. He’s Knowledgeable, motivating & informative. Since the very first workout/assessment he asked about my goals and discussed, in detail, with me what I had to do achieve them and promised to get me there if I was willing to do the work. The workouts are focused, challenging and effective. Not to mention the one on one studio experience. I think it really contributes to focusing on the work. In conclusion, I highly recommend Studio 16!”
JACKIE (FLATIRON)
“I have been training at Studio 16 Flatiron for a little over 2 months and have been so happy with my experience. Nate is a pleasure to communicate with and he did an excellent job pairing me with my trainer, Helena. She is fantastically knowledgeable and I look forward to every session. I have done personal training at other studios before but the fact that you have the entire space to yourself is such a game changer. Personal training is not cheap but I’m already seeing a difference in my performance and starting to feel more confident in my skin. So for me, training at Studio 16 with Helena has been worth every penny!”
JOHN B (HELLS KITCHEN)
“I’ve never had a trainer. Frankly, going to the gym has always intimidated me. But from the first consultation call, which was the very next day after I had requested information via the website, I knew it would be a great experience. Nate immediately understood my goals and communication style, and he asked specific questions about my history with working out and what I was looking for in a trainer. I started with my trainer Nick a few days, whose energy and personality has been so motivating especially considering how much of a beginner I am. I’m wiped out by the end of the training sessions, but I feel a sense of accomplishment when I leave the studio. The facilities (I’m at the Hell’s Kitchen location) are clean and well-maintained, and as someone who is very self-conscious especially when working out, I love that it’s truly private. I’m currently in the middle of my sessions, and I already feel a difference in my strength and stamina. I’m also sleeping better (I’m the worst sleeper) and waking up with more energy. Studio 16 has turned something I dread into something I’m excited about!”

Why Strength Training Is Critical
While on GLP-1 Medications
GLP-1 medications help reduce appetite and promote rapid weight loss. However, research shows that without resistance training, up to 30–40% of weight lost may come from lean muscle mass. Loss of muscle can lead to:
Increased fatigue
Reduced bone density
Higher risk of weight regain
Poor long-term sustainability
