Mark Fisher Fitness

Fantastic experience: MFF is a wonderful place to be a part of! I’ve been here only a month, but have thought about moving closer; that’s how great they are. I feel strong again and most importantly happy! As a life long athlete, but also a bigger woman in nyc, gym spaces are a complicated place to be, but I never ever felt that way at MFF and I can’t explain how wonderful that feels. MFF is the gym (and community) for anyone looking to sweat it out with the most empathetic funny hot bada$$es!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a welcoming place to start an in-person fitness journey, MFF is your place! I've been going for a month or so. The trainers and staff are all very friendly and the classes are fun. I'm always excited to go.

Fantastic experience: LOVE MFF! I first found MFF as I needed to jump back in to the fitness world after having twins. I found MFF to be a warm and motivational environment no matter what stage you are at. All the classes are customizable and the instructors are very helpful and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: MFF quite literally changed my life! Specifically through their Snatched in Six Weeks program, I've reached (and surpassed!) fitness goals I didn't think were possible at this point in my life. From the trainers to the community itself, I highly recommend Mark Fisher Fitness to anyone looking to live a healthier life and see results.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely life changing. Fun, energetic instruction, great classes and expert advice, clean facility, and great deals for people on a budget! Can not say enough good about this program and location!

Fantastic experience: I was completely sedentary when I started coming to MFF. Three years later, my body feels SO good. This gym is a safe space to learn. Achievements are celebrated, and the staff and trainers genuinely care about members. Plus, it is the most fun you can have working out, and it is easy to feel like a part of the community. Love it here.

Fantastic experience: The best fitness studio I've ever been to. Super welcoming, encouraging and healthy staff and instructors. A great place for anyone who is intimidated by other gyms/fitness environments. Could not recommend more.

Fantastic experience: Could MFF be any better? I don't think so! They are a merry band of endearingly weird, knowledge loving, and strangely attractive humans who will deliver the workout goods to you in ways that you didn't know you needed. You'll get results, have a blast in the process, and be be surrounded by people who genuinely care about you and your goals.

Fantastic experience: The most fun I've ever had at the gym. MMF offers a holistic and idiosyncratic approach to fitness that incorporates mental, physical and dietary health and wraps it all up in a big pink furry box with unicorn wrapping paper and glitter kettlebell bows. Each trainer is as uniquely spectacular as the overall aesthetic--which is equal parts queer, zany and theatrical. Love this place.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic environment and supportive coaches! Simply the best NYC has to offer in small boutique gyms.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member here for over ten years. MFF has always provided consistently high quality and fun classes led by knowledgeable and caring fitness professionals. I also love that as I have aged, and my life and fitness goals have evolved, that has not meant needing to find a new place to work out. I love that you can be in class with a 20-something professional dancer on the mat to your left and a 60-year-old business owner on the mat to your right, and the class is equally appropriate, challenging, and enjoyable for both. Plus, they will be cheering each other on! It is a truly inclusive and welcoming environment, and I'm so thankful to have found it!

Fantastic experience: Life-changing, super-welcoming, joyful fitness land. Chad, Max, Chris, Rachel, Mallory, Wheels, Ting, Sam ... across the board these trainers/class leaders are outstanding. Attentive, supportive, upbeat, and informed! Body, gender, age, fitness-level diversity are all actively welcomed here. Customer service here is also 5 stars - Membership guru Craig is terrific. They never up-sell you. In fact, they get to know you and your needs and help you find the most efficient membership or package to suit your needs. I've been coming to Homebody classes online for 1.5 years and I cannot recommend it more! The Mark Fisher Fitness team has a magical recipe figured out to create community online and keep you coming back for more.

Fantastic experience: MFF is a life changer. The benefits and results are endless. A community moving forward together while increasing physical and emotional strength, gaining flexibility and friends, a clear path to a stronger body and a richer life. A way of life that challenges and nurtures.

Fantastic experience: Working out at MFF since 2013 and then later in HomeBody ( At home version) since the pandemic hit was always a game changer for the way I felt, looked and my confidence level. Being around this Ninja army always felt like a play date that ends in a sweaty mess. Wait, what? Mark Fisher Fitness is for anyone. From people who live fitness to the person who never picked up a weight or wine bottle.( join HomeBody, you'll understand what I mean).

Fantastic experience: The most enjoyable and most welcoming place to work out 10, 10, 10 across the board!. Everyone, from the enrollment folks to every single instructor are the best, kind, and most friendly people in town!

Fantastic experience: MFF is such a great and welcoming environment. Everyone there is amazing. You have fun on top of getting fit. Would definitely recommend this Gym if you’re looking to fulfill your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: I love MFF. 27 out of 10 would recommend. I've done Snatched, in-person classes at the Clubhouse, personal training, and Homebody. Knowledgeable, awesome trainers and an amazing ninja community.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym! The instructors provide an excellent workout and a positive attitude on life after you leave. Ethaniel was kind and courteous at setting me up for success at the gym. I truly can’t say enough. The instructors and guests were all kind and provided a warm inviting atmosphere that’s accessible for everyone, regardless where you’re starting from. Come join MFF! You won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Such a great and inclusive community that is truly interested in helping you reach your fitness goals! I loved Molly’s classes and the small training sessions. Try a class out, they have really great intro deals (unicorn kickstarter challenge). Shout out to Ethaniel and the rest of the staff for helping me on my my fitness journey. ️‍♀️

Fantastic experience: I have been at MFF since 2017 and just completed Snatched at Home. If you want a place to get strong as hell while being loved, supported, and accepted exactly as you are the whole time you do it - this is the place for you. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and can meet everybody and every BODY where they are with care and attention. I am thrilled to invest in myself and this place every day.

Fantastic experience: I have been a group fitness person for most of my life. I just moved to an area where I've had a hard time finding "my people" and my friend was passing through in December and asked if I wanted to join her for her workout (since she was staying with me and I love working out, why not?). I was INSTANTLY hooked with the energy of the group and the trainers despite my (unfounded) reservations that online training wouldn't translate from the live experience. I signed up for my free week right away and after a few weeks I am sad on the days I don't get to workout with everyone. The trainers are SO knowledgeable and, IMHO, the best trainers I've ever worked with. THANK YOU, Mark Fisher, for being my new home for my own personal fitness journey. I can't wait until I can get up to NYC and do an IRL session with everyone, I can't recommend them enough!! Only side note for folks reading this review would be that if you aren't into really funny and enthusiastic trainers and community and sometimes some downright raunchy talk, then this may not be the place for you. :) Otherwise, if that sounds like your kind of party, then I can't recommend MFF enough. THANK YOU!!!

Fantastic experience: There really is no other choice for working out. MFF has gotten me healthy and into shape and taught me how to do it. I have had the great luck to workout in person at the gym and to workout at home with their Homebody option AND to gain knowledge and habits from their accountability coaching. Whether at the clubhouse or at home - it is like working out with friends and supportive buddies. The ONLY reason I get out of bed to workout is because I know I'm going to have a blast and get to build muscle and confidence with some of the coolest humans on the planet.

Fantastic experience: I became a member in 2016 after putting some unwanted weight on. I was hooked immediately. Having not been in a public gym in a few years and relying on myself to kick start my fitness journey I was not so motivated. The moment I walked in the door that all changed. Not only do you get top notch trainers, but the community is a huge added bonus. I met my goals and made life long friends who support my fitness journey but also show me a level of accountability that I have never been able to maintain. Oh, did I mention working out can be fun! Who knew? Give it a go if you are searching for that something extra. You wont be disappointed. Frank Berry

Fantastic experience: I've been a member, or rather a Ninja for almost two years via homebody. The workouts are challenging, but always fun! The trainers are all fantastic, and care about the clients, making adjustments to each workout based on the abilities of those taking the class. I couldn't recommend this crazy bunch of fitness professionals more!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been doing MFF homebody classes for almost two years. All of the teachers are amazing, and they really make you feel like you are a part of a tight-knit community. The classes themselves are really fun and engaging - the hour tends to fly by. The teachers modify for all fitness levels, and it's a very inclusive environment. The workouts vary based on the class, but overall it's a nice mix of cardio and weight-lifting. I'd recommend MFF in a heartbeat.

Fantastic experience: I’m not a “gym person” but I love MFF! The in person classes are fun and engaging, plus you know your getting a great workout. I was really nervous my first time but everyone was so welcoming and friendly. It’s really a warm, supportive environment. I’ve tried a few home body classes too and they do a great job of getting everyone feeling connected and building the off-line feeling online. If your on the fence, just try it. You have nothing to lose!

Fantastic experience: The only workout program I have ever stuck with because: a) it works, b) the trainers are human beings instead of bro-fit automatons, c) i can workout at home, saving me time and money. One year in I went from unable to do a push up to multiple sets of good form push ups, fitter, healthier, and happier than I have ever been. Without MFF? I cannot imagine how awful this pandemic could have felt. Instead I have fitness and a fitness community.

Fantastic experience: I joined Mark Fisher Fitness' virtual Homebody classes a couple of months ago and am hooked. The trainers are top notch. They know their stuff, are able to provide specific coaching and modifications, and are just the nicest human beings you'll encounter in a gym setting. If you've ever been turned off by aggressive, shouty trainers, MFF is the complete opposite. These are positive, funny, fun coaches who want to help you get fitter and enjoy yourself.

Fantastic experience: Mark Fisher Fitness has been a life saver. The people are wonderful, and they make working out fun. I am motivated, and I feel proud at the end of every session. Seriously couldn't ask for a better fitness community.

Fantastic experience: I joined MFF towards the beginning of January. It has truly been an amazing experience so far. If you’re someone who doesn’t like a traditional gym (and even if you’re someone who does) then this is for you! The classes are so much fun and the trainers are awesome. I highly recommend checking it out.

Fantastic experience: The best gym ever. Guaranteed the trainers at MFF know more than your trainers and class teachers anywhere else. MFF isn’t just a gym, it’s a community (if you want it to be.) They have all of the things (training, coaching, nutrition coaching, etc) for you to meet your health and hotness goals. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've trained at Mark Fisher Fitness in person with snatched in six weeks, general classes, semi private training and now online with the Homebody program. The trainers go above and beyond to make sure you have a strong foundation with technique. They help you make modifications that enable you to "run your own race" with ease. After they get to know you they rise to the occasion and challenge you as well. The trainers, administrative team and the community inspire and uplift, I am grateful for the longterm change and growth MFF has created in my fitness routine. I am thrilled they now offer onliine classes as I moved away from NYC two years ago and my biggest fear was not having this gym. I can't recommend MFF enough.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at MFF since 2016. The trainers are all top notch and give great cues and enough of a push to get a great workout in but they are not drill sergeants. I'm primarily a small group training person because I want to do a variety of lifts and weights, but the classes are also great with a primary focus on kettle bells. You'll definitely get a workout either route. I'm an experienced weight lifter and go there for the small group and access to all kinds of lifts and weight ranges. However, newbies to weights are warmly welcomed, and the MFF team will teach you everything you need to know to incorporate weight lifting safely.

Fantastic experience: Before Mark Fisher Fitness, I was working out regularly but I wasn't making the gains I wanted, in addition to having to program my own workouts. I joined MFF to get more disciplined and their particular mix of know-how and enthusiasm helped me get more focused and learn to ENJOY my workouts. There is a sense of community at MFF that is motivating. The trainers care. And you'll see growth if you just trust the work. I do what they tell me and I get better every day. I'm so satisfied with their variety of programs that I don't know if I'll ever be able to work out anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: This is my 2nd time returning to the clubhouse! And I love it more than ever! I mostly have been doing Homebody, and LOVING IT!! It’s been a really great motivator for me to get up and get moving before my day begins and I don’t have to leave my house!! The staff is so friendly and helpful and really make time to answer any questions you have! I highly recommend this no matter where you are in your fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: It's a home away from home and yes it's a gym. If you are looking for a positive influence in your life in the form of community, goal setting and just feel good energy, this is the place for you. Not just a gym, it's a lifestyle. Get your sweat on with amazing humans while being taught by ultimate professionals who are constantly doing everything they can to gain the most knowledge in the fitness field. The business owners are the kindest most thoughtfully progressive people which trickles down to every part of this magical establishment. I've obviously drunk the punch and I'm not sorry bout it!

Fantastic experience: Not your ordinary gym! Mark Fisher Fitness is a godsend fitness club in the Hell's Kitchen area. They offer virtual and in-person group classes, small group sessions for personal training and an immersive fitness experience called Ninja Academy for anyone wanting to put the pedal on their fitness journey. I started attending the in-person group classes regularly since June of last year and I am so pleased with the results. The instructors are approachable, friendly and very thorough. This place is very welcoming in general. I wish I had found them sooner. Definitely check them out if you're in the city. Worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: Mark Fisher Fitness is the only place I've ever felt strong as hell and had fun while working out. The expertly-planned workouts trigger my core and build strength each class. The community is SO supportive. I have utilized in-person classes, Homebody, Snatched, and nutrition coaching. I recommend it all!

Fantastic experience: if you're on the fence about joining MFF -- either in-person or their virtual, live workouts -- this is your sign to do it. it has changed my life. i have been a member off and on since 2014 and it is the most inclusive, inspiring, life-changing fitness studio you could possibly imagine. their virtual workout program, Homebody, has kept me sane since March 2020, and i haven't been as consistent with my workouts during the past (nearly) two years as i have since Homebody started. i am stronger than i have ever been, and in better shape too. the community is one of a kind. the fitness is super challenging but you will be encouraged to run your own race. i laugh at least a handful of times during every workout and sometimes forget that i am doing some serious fitness because i am having so much fun. seriously... if you are on the fence... don't question it. you belong here!!!

Fantastic experience: MFF is one of the most inspiring and welcoming gyms I have ever been too. I have always been a little nervous meeting new people and have never been a big fan of huge groups. When I joined my first class the instructors were super welcoming as well as all of the other participants. They make you feel like you have been best friends for ever. They truly stand by what they say about serious fitness for ridiculous humans. Great workouts that always leave you walking away with a warm feeling in your heart.

Fantastic experience: From general fitness to muscle building, Mark Fisher Fitness can do it all. They provide professional advice and services to help you meet your goals through their various programs. I love the diversity of classes, trainings, and general health information they provide. What keeps me coming back is also the people. The trainers and staff are very accommodating, understanding, and make the workout experience less daunting. Ting, Harold, Rog, Sam, and crew really make it a fun experience, and less of a chore!! 10/10, will continue to be apart o this community!

Fantastic experience: I did a couple semi-private training sessions here and really enjoyed them! One thing that stood out in a positive way was that whenever my trainer (Harold) needed to correct my form he’d first give some verbal cues, and then if he still needed to make physical adjustments he ASKED first and told me exactly where he would have to touch me. That was a breath of fresh air since I’m used to instructors who just grab my body and startle me. The workout itself was fun but if you have a very specific routine that you like to do then this probably isn’t the best gym for you unless you want to pop in once a week as an accessory to your regular training. Overall it’s a very welcoming and inclusive gym! If I ever work in Midtown I’ll definitely get a proper membership.

Fantastic experience: Mark Fisher Fitness has been my go-to gym for the past decade; check out the pic below! Vintage merch alert! <3 I stumbled upon MFF years ago when I lived in Hell's Kitchen. I got in the best shape of my life via their personal training and small group fitness classes. Kid you not, no gym since has ever compared to MFF in NYC. Their team is incredibly knowledgeable, cares deeply about health/wellness, and works in earnest to ensure that everyone feels welcome. I'm writing this review today of all days because today in particular, I am so thankful that Mark Fisher Fitness has online fitness classes!! I travel frequently for work and it's such a joy be connected with the MFF community via their virtual offering of Homebody :-) It's also really fun to be in online fitness classes with people who are joining from across the coast, and at times, even across the globe! <3 Come join the fun and we'll celebrate another decade of prosperity for Mark Fisher Fitness together! :-) :-)

Fantastic experience: I have been a Mark Fisher Fitness member for almost 9 years. It’s by far the best gym I have been a member of. But it is obviously more than just a gym. It is the most welcoming environment in the fitness world that I have experienced (and I have been a member of a dozen gyms in the past 20 years), super professional where each trainer and staffer make you feel you are a star. While originally working out at their Hell’s kitchen location, this gym has been a lifeline these past 18 months. I was stranded outside of the city and the country when Covid started, and eventually moved out of New York City to a different state (Florida). And despite being physically away and socially distant, I have never felt more at home. Their group fitness classes, which quickly transitioned to online fitness classes as soon as the shutdown started, allowed me to continue working out on a regular basis. Actually, I have taken more classes in the past 18 months than I did in the previous 4 years combined. I was very happy to hear that while their Hell’s Kitchen location is opening up again soon for both group classes and small group personal training - their online presence will continue, allowing people like me, regardless where in the world you are (And I have taken classes in seven different time zones this past year) to maintain my workouts. If you are reading this, and considering giving Mark Fisher Fitness a try - do it. You really have nothing to lose, and it’s super affordable. And most likely, you will not just fall in love with their staff and clients in a minute (and make new friends!) you will fall in love with fitness and your body. It is really a no brainer.

Fantastic experience: What a community Mark Fisher Fitness is, and how lucky I feel to have found them! Both the in person and the Homebody program make me feel like I’m connected with humans who are all interested in getting stronger and celebrating our bodies. The trainers know me intimately, and only do I feel safe to try new things here, but I feel safe to fall apart too, if I need. It’s an incredibly inclusive, warm, kind, dare I say FUN way to workout - and as someone who used to run on a treadmill for ten minutes once a week and call it a workout, I actually crave classes here and feel off when I go more than a couple days without one. The staff and customer service is out of the world, and that is because MFF is run by living, breathing, compassionate human beings who celebrate being alive through the means of fitness.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Mark Fisher Fitness since 2015. It has changed my life and the way I approach fitness. This place can make anyone love working out. It is such a complete workout yet so much fun that you don't even realize how hard you are working. MFF makes working out 4-5 times a week not only doable, but FUN! I didn't realize how important it was to my success until the pandemic took it away from us for over a year. Having MFF open again is a game changer and in just two weeks I'm once again seeing huge changes in my body and in fitness routine. It is a place like no other and the game changer that so many of us spent our lives waiting for.

Fantastic experience: Mark Fisher Fitness is an incredible gym run by phenomenal people. I am not a gym person, but I love starting every day with a fun work out that is challenging and makes me feel strong with an inspiring trainer and a group of equally inspiring, creative, fun, hilarious people. Cannot recommend this gym highly enough. They also have the best customer service I’ve ever experienced anywhere. When my mother died, the trainers sent me a card! It’s SO much more than just a gym, it’s a way to improve your life. I met my broker for my apartment there, and the foster mom where I got my cats. ❤️

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about Mark Fisher Fitness. During the pandemic, I took their Homebody Classes online. The classes are amazing and it is such a warm, supportive community. I look forward to seeing familiar faces and accomplishing our fitness goals together. The trainers are fun, cool and knowledgeable. Even though we are able to go back to gyms in person, I’m definitely going to keep doing Homebody in addition to live classes. Simply put, I love this gym and the people in it.

Fantastic experience: Mark Fisher Fitness is a gem nestled in the heart of Hell's Kitchen. In non-pandemic times, their in-person classes are incredible workouts and foster an amazing sense of community. They've pivoted to an online format for classes (Homebody), which has truly been a lifeline over the past year. Some of the best coaching of my life has happened there during semi-private training sessions, which they're still doing (SAFELY)! I would not be the person I am today without this gym, and how many people can say that about their gym?

Fantastic experience: I first signed up with Mark Fisher Fitness when a friend raved about their HomeBody workouts on Zoom in summer 2020. I gave them a try and found they were so great that I was actually working out more than I had been pre-pandemic at a big impersonal chain gym in the city. Now that MFF has reopened, I’ve added in-person group training twice a week while continuing HomeBody. The group training provides an affordable way to learn about lifting weights — I truly learned WAY more in my first session than in ten (more expensive!) 1-on-1 personal training sessions at that big chain gym a few years ago. And it’s way more fun. Every single instructor at this place is fantastic, and that is a real motivator. There’s a reason people really love this place. And I love knowing I am supporting a small business, too. Try it!

Fantastic experience: I am over the moon with how Mark Fisher Fitness has adapted to offer Homebody classes by Zoom. They have gotten everything right-- there's safety, variety, self-expression, motivation, social time and availability. I've not been a five-day-a-week exerciser in a few years and after my first six weeks, MFF Homebody has me back on the mat for good. I can't wait to be able to make occasional trips to the Clubhouse, but for now I'm just grateful, and feeling strong and healthy.

Fantastic experience: Regarding Unicorn Accountability Coaching: it's been a totally great experience. Britta is supportive but pushes in all of the right ways. And the time (12 weeks) is enough to really get started on changing habits past the initial thrill of something new. I've really enjoyed that ability to text/email any time and plan phone calls as well. It's really made a difference for me, and the pricing is very reasonable and a great value. The communication is always very clear and all staff super responsive and helpful.
