Massi-Machado is an excellent strength & conditioning and personal training gym! I have been working with Coach Craig for over almost 2 years and I couldn't be happier with the results and truly caring support I receive! Coach Guy and others are always ready to lend a hand or help you work through a challenge. I highly recommend working with them!

M2 Speed, Strength, and PerformanceFive months ago, at age 73 and 8 years into my Parkinson’s Disease journey, I made a decision that may well change the course of my remaining years. The unrelenting Parkinson’s fatigue had all but destroyed my life activities and pharmaceuticals had proven to be of limited help. I had repeatedly read, and been told by the doctors, that exercise was strongly recommended to reduce PD symptoms. But my attempts to follow this advice quickly revealed the inherent dilemma: two of the many symptoms of Parkinson’s are fatigue and sleep difficulties, which when combined, make it extremely difficult to embark on a serious exercise program. I was simply too tired and weak to plan and maintain any type of meaningful, consistent exercise. So I joined a gym, “M2 Speed, Strength, and Performance” in Peekskill, N.Y. and signed up for personal training sessions with coach Craig Machado.I’m so glad I did. Just two sessions a week with an inspiring, professional, supportive coach have replaced some of the self-image that Parkinson’s had stolen, and have begun to build back some of the atrophied muscle that comes with age and inactivity. And these two gains have increased my desire to carve out time on non-session days to build upon the positive session results. It’s an attitudinal change that usually powers through the daily fatigue problem and gets the job done.One last thing. I have had a “bad back” from construction work for 45 years. After 5 months with Coach Craig, I am experiencing an unexpected and unbelievable “come back”. The best.

Massi Machado is a great business filled with great people. My family and I have been consistent clients for MANY years because of how much we love it there. Craig and Guy are both outstanding coaches who aim to motivate and support their clients in and out of the gym. Both men go out of their way to help each individual client reach their goals by giving them the support they need to do so. I would (and have) recommended this facility to anyone and everyone who will listen.

My family and I have been training with Massi-Machado for over 5 years. They are extremely knowledgeable in nutrition and fitness. They have trained my daughters to be incredible athletes. They have helped me get into the best shape of my life, helping me with diet and strength training. I highly recommend.

MMSC has changed my life! not an exaggeration. Craig and Guy are personable, knowledgeable, and always working to get me in the gym and in the best shape of my life. i have been with MMSC for over 3 years. My wife, My mom (who is 82) and both sons (19 & 21) also love MMSC and are active clients. Craig and Guy understand the importance of scheduling and physical education in order to reach your personal performance goals which, for me in the beginning, was to be in better shape and not feel so lethargic. I keep making personal "bests" in terms of weight, strength and activities. Great memberships as other clients feel energized in the gym each day - friendly and relaxed atmosphere AND top notch equipment.And they support the community though donations & volunteering whether it be Rotary or Volunteer Fireman/EMT or pro-bono coaching in the local community. MMSC is a class act!

Coach Machado went above and beyond setting up a custom training program to prepare me for my police agility test as well as continued training and support throughout my police academy. Coach Machado also helped with recovery from an injury I sustained while at work.

The staff at Massi - Machado Strength and Conditioning are nothing short of extraordinary. I used to be 290 lbs. and through the guidance of their staff and hard work I was quickly down to 190 lbs. and ready for anything. A big thank you is in order for all the staff the helped me and continue to help me on my journey.

Craig and Guy run an outstanding business here. They care about each and every client like they are family. They push you to be a better you every time you come in. Regardless of age or ability, they curate a special plan for each of their clients personal needs and goals. Not to mention they’ve been absolutely diligent about keeping their gym clean and safe during the pandemic. Great facility, great guys, and always great gains.

Coach Craig was not just a trainer but a mentor to my son. He taught my son the importance of self care in addition to strength training. His confidence soared after a few months! In addition, his baseball playing has improved exponentially which in turns builds his confidence. He's a trainer and positive mentor all in one! Highly Recommend!

I have been part of the M&M family for 8 years now and it has no doubt made me a better athlete and person. Their knowledge is unmeasurable, and they are always up to date on the latest industry innovations. I played division 1 lacrosse at Northwestern and I felt very prepared when I left for college. I knew how to lift properly and the linear/lateral speed sessions paired with agility always benefited me on the field. I could always rely on M&M when I was home on breaks to continue my training. I cannot thank them enough for their support over the years and you can rely on them to make you an elite athlete!

I joined Massi Machdo my sophomore year in high school and I am now a senior in high school committed to Lafayette College playing Division 1 soccer. Not only have I improved tremendously as an athlete, mentally and physically, but I have also made life long friends. My confidence increases everyday and I wouldn't be where I am today without Massi Machado Strength and Conditioning.
