Bringing a Personal Trainer NYC Into Your New York City Apartment Building Gym

by glenn on August 19, 2010

As more and more New York City apartment buildings look to attract new buyers and renters, there is an ever grow list of amenities being offered. This can range from a doorman and/or a concierge on premises to an onsite gym, space permitted, for residents. Most buildings will let residents bring in their own personal trainers to work with them.

Often the gyms are maintained by the building or an outside company, while equipment maintenance is handled by authorized technicians. However,, like a beach with “no lifeguard on duty,” many of these facilities do not have a fitness staff. Residents can use it unsupervised.

In these cases, should a resident wish to bring in a personal trainer, it is best to check with the building management or a board member on procedures. Often, all that is required is proof that the personal trainer is certified and insured. Copies of both documents will most likely need to be submitted to the building management company to be kept on file. They want to make sure that the resident, trainer, and the building’s assets are legally protected in case of any accidental injury. While most building do not charge to allow a trainer on premises, keep in mind that other buildings may have a fee in place for personal trainers nyc training clients in the building. This fee can be as much as $15 per session or a flat annual membership fee to train in the building. This can be a better deal for the personal trainer if they have multiple clients in that building, as well as a good source of revenue for the building.

Commercial buildings are also getting into the onsite gym game. Some buildings allow individual companies to construct a facility for their own employees. Still others will establish a facility in which all commercial tenant employees can access. Not only does this improve the amenities to the corporate tenants, but it provides a person with additional exercises choices throughout the day.

The great thing is that you can find personal trainers nyc that can meet you anywhere you need them, at home, at the office, or anywhere in between. New York City is full of independent Personal trainers ready to work with you.
