Five stars isn’t enough for Coach Phil and ND Fitness.I’m a 38 year old male, working with Coach Phil for 8 months now and went from extremely out of shape to the best shape of my life. His decades of experience as a bodybuilder and trainer are second to none. He is able to identify your muscle imbalances and weaknesses with ease and pair them with the appropriate training curriculum. Working with Coach Phil has not just made me stronger, but corrected my posture, all but healed a years long knee injury, helped with my blood flow, I’ve lost 40 lbs. and look 10 years younger than when I started.The gym itself is not a big box, but has everything you need. The equipment is clean and in great shape, clearly cared for meticulously. The environment is friendly and communal. Ranging from young guys training for shows, to older men and women staying fit, everyone is welcome and welcoming.Coach Phil knows his stuff and has a great gym, but more important than that, he really cares for all of his training clients and gym members. He knows everyone by name, shares his stories and offers guidance to anyone that wants it. I personally found him while trying to find more holistic ways of dealing with an illness I was diagnosed with, and he has helped me immeasurably, without upselling me and pumping me full of unnatural supplements.If you’re looking for a change, and ready to commit to a healthy lifestyle, but need someone to help you along the way, definitely call Coach Phil. It could change your life.

I’ve been a member at New Dorp Fitness for two years now and I will never go back to a large chain gym. This gym is perfect. When I started going to gyms I had zero confidence and I always picked whatever was free. Not here, this gym makes me feel so safe and comfortable , it’s got every machine that a large chain gym would have with the benefit that you will never have to wait for a machine. The gym does not get packed and even when there IS a large amount of people, everyone who comes in is friendly and respectful to your workout. The staff is nothing but hospitable and kind.I did the personal training program with phill for 3 months and had to stop due to personal issues but starting it was the best decision I’d ever made and I most definitely will be doing it again. I had never seen so much progress on my body. His methods are effective and the goals curated for the workouts are challenging but realistic and definitely obtainable - speaking from personal experience. When you sign up for the personal training it’s not just a workout plan and a few quick meal plans, it’s his attention to detail, his speedy response time, his attention to you, his attention to how your body is changing throughout the program and his knowledge on fitness that truly make it a one of a kind experience. Not to mention the respect. As a woman, I used to get very uncomfortable at these chain gyms but not here. Not from Phill himself , the staff or even the people who come in. I highly recommend choosing New Dorp Fitness as your gym!

I started training with Coach Phil at New Dorp Fitness 2 months ago and have seen significant results in a short time. Coach Phil goes above and beyond to make sure you have a positive experience while training and in the gym. He tailors your fitness & nutrition plan to your specific goals and is your biggest advocate along the way. The gym is extremely clean and well-maintained. Regardless if you are brand new or have been there for years, everyone is so welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this gym and training with Coach Phil.

Phil is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about fitness. He curated a personalized regimen for me based on my personal goals and needs. He is a great resource for advice and guidance on not only exercise, but also lifestyle and health. The gym is always clean and very organized. Cannot recommend Phil and the New Dorp Fitness facility enough!

This gym is H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E!!!!!!!!! The machines and equipment are rusty and barely function. They need to be replaced with newer models!!!! The air conditioning is busted and it’s W-A-Y too hot in there. Like how are we supposed to work out in a hot, poorly ventilated area????? The tiny, clustered space is permeated by awful spoiled cheddar, boiled onion, and wet dog food smell from the owner’s body odor. It’s like he either doesn’t shower regularly or doesn’t use deodorant. It’s too expensive for the poor service you get. Membership fee is double that of most other gyms in the area and way more than what I paid at Crunch Fitness! The owner also does not know what he is talking about and the proof is in his own poor fitness levels! Why would anyone take advice from a volumetric garden gnome who can’t even lift a can of corn and appears to have muscle wasting??? Definitely do not waste your time coming here. You will regret it. I can’t think of anything positive to say about this place.

I absolutely love New Dorp Fitness! The staff is friendly and welcoming, and Coach Phil is amazing. He gave me some great tips to help me lose weight, and he makes the best protein shakes! The equipment is top-notch, and it's really easy to use. One of the things I love most about this gym is that it feels like family when you join. Everyone is so supportive and encouraging. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking for a great workout experience.

I started personal training sessions with coach Phil at New Dorp Fitness last month and I have made the right choice! In just a short time I am extremely impressed by the knowledge of living a healthier lifestyle that coach Phil has shared with me. The gym is always kept immaculate and members are respectful, kind, and route for everyone’s success. Phil has designed workout routines specific for the needs of my body type and explains in detail how each routine is effective. If you are ready to transform your life mind and body, call coach Phil.

Coach Phil and his gym are amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable about fitness and how to take care of the body. The gym itself offers nothing but the best workout experience. It is clean, well kept , great weight machines to use, and authentic metal weights. I would highly recommend coming here and giving Phil your business, he is a great guy.

I had a great experience from my first conversation with Coach Phil. During my consultation call with him his vibrant personality and incredible knowledge of nutrition, human anatomy and science behind training, was above any i encountered with past trainers.At age 56, i never thought i would be able to regain my strength and fitness. Coach proved to me in just 4 weeks that training smarter has no age limit and i've seen incredible progress in a short period. Thanks to coach Phil, i'm optimistic i will continue to see positive gains with building muscle and losing fat. Thanks Coach Phil !!

I started training with Coach Phil in February and almost immediately felt stronger, more confident, and energized. Phil is extremely passionate about what he does, and it shows in everything he does at the gym. He works with people of all skill levels to help them achieve their fitness goals!He clearly takes a lot of pride in his business, and it shows in the way he keeps the gym in impeccable condition. Everyone who trains there is expected to put things back where they belong, and as a result, the gym is always spotless. This creates a really positive environment that makes it a pleasure to work out there.Phil knows the name of everyone who trains at his gym. Not only does he greet each person by name when they arrive, but he also takes the time to introduce everyone to each other. This creates a sense of community and camaraderie that is all too rare in today's world.Overall, I can't recommend Phil and his gym highly enough. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out on your fitness journey, he will help you achieve your goals in a welcoming and supportive environment. If you're looking for a personal trainer who truly cares about his clients and takes pride in his work, look no further than Phil and New Dorp Fitness.

Master Coach Phil has been training me since I was around 15 years old. He has that old school knowledge from his bodybuilding career you simply cannot find anywhere else. New Dorp Fitness has changed my life. If you are in it to win it, this is the gym for you. This gym has so much more to offer than your typical overcrowded chain gyms you find everywhere else. If you want the right environment enabling you to excel and connect with the right people, this is the gym for you. Very motivating and would highly recommend. 10/10!!!

The coaches Mr. Philp is tremendously knowledgeable and genuinely care about how movements are carried out. If there is a movement that you don't know how to do, workouts are scaled until you can do it. The New Drop Fitness Club is by far one of the most amazing parts, aside from the beautiful facility and well programmed classes. I've made some great friends here who I know will be in my life for years to come.
