Small Group Personal Training in Gowanus, Brooklyn

Book a free first session: pick a time online, sign the waiver, show up. You’ll train with the group and see exactly how coaching here works. If it’s for you, you join after. If you’d rather ask questions first, grab a free 10-minute call or a 20-minute tour.

Your coach will know your name, your goals, and where you’re starting from. You’ll follow the same program as everyone else, but with weights and variations adjusted for your level. Expect to learn proper technique, work hard, and leave knowing exactly what you did and why.

No. We teach you everything from scratch. Most members walked in with zero barbell experience. Your first twelve weeks are a deliberate ramp: you’ll learn every movement with a coach right there, and the weights stay friendly while you build the habit. Nobody’s watching you struggle; everybody in the room started somewhere.

Strength classes are 55 minutes: guided warmup, then barbell work (squat, deadlift, bench, overhead press) plus accessory exercises. Small groups of 6-12 with a coach who tracks your progression. HYROX conditioning classes are 25 minutes and focus on cardio and endurance work.

Yes. Power racks, competition-grade barbells and plates, dumbbells up to 150 lbs, Keiser strength machines, Concept II rowers/ski ergs/bikes, TrueForm treadmills, dedicated turf area for HYROX training, sleds, sandbags, and kettlebells.

We don’t offer 1:1 personal training — small group coaching is what we do, and it’s the whole point. Groups of 6–12 mean your coach knows your name, watches your lifts, and runs your programming, at a fraction of what personal training costs.

No. SBWC is a coach-led training facility, not a commercial gym. All training happens in scheduled classes with a coach present.

Yes. Infrared saunas, two fully stocked showers, and fresh coffee.

Most people start on Weekly Flex 2x: $99/week, billed $396 every 4 weeks, for two coached sessions a week with everything included: programming, quarterly testing, Fit3D scans, nutrition coaching, conditioning. Weekly Flex Unlimited is $124/week, billed $496 every 4 weeks. No contracts either way. Your first session is free.

Then you cancel – from the app, by email, or in person – and we part as friends. Memberships are month to month with no contract, so the most you’re ever committed to is the current billing cycle. We’d rather you stay because it’s working than because leaving is hard.

Most members notice improved strength and energy within the first few weeks. Body composition changes typically show up in your first quarterly Fit3D scan (around 12 weeks). Consistency matters more than intensity.

Street parking is available in the Gowanus area. Citi Bike dock across the street from the gym. Subway accessible via F/G to Carroll Street, R to Union Street, or multiple lines at Barclays Center (2/3/4/5/B/D/N/Q/R).
