Client Testimonials

“I’ve been training with Taylor for just about a year and a half now. He’s made me stronger, physically and mentally. My flexibility, my stamina, my endurance…he’s helped me get to multiple All-Star games…prepare for a World Championship for Team USA in England where we won gold. It’s been an overall great experience. I think I continue to get better and he keeps pushing me. It’s been an awesome experience, a fun experience and I’m looking forward to working with him for the future.”

“I’ve been working out with Taylor Jackson for 2 years. My goal was to increase my overall strength and conditioning through the right exercise program. I also have chronic low back pain so it was important for me to find the right trainer who would be able to help me meet my goals despite this limitation. I noticed changes almost immediately. Not only have I become stronger physically, lost body fat and increased muscle mass, the issues I’ve had with my back have become almost non-existent. Taylor’s knowledge in his field and his upbeat personality make each workout not only challenging but fun. I leave the gym with a sense of accomplishment, reduced stress, feeling “strong”, ready to take on the day and looking forward to our next session.”

“I have been working with Taylor for well over a year and have experienced results beyond fat loss (though it does feel great to fit into my skinny jeans!). Taylor has pushed me to new heights- I never thought my small frame would be able to tone up and become so strong! This has drastically improved my overall mood. I am sleeping more, have more energy for work and family, and I have a newfound ‘can do’ attitude. I feel for people that that work in a stressful work environment like me without an outlet. I travel frequently and put in late hours- Taylor is always there to push me with suggested circuit training via email. Working out with Taylor is my favorite hobby- he is personable, consistent, and always gives his 100% during our time together and beyond.”

“I have been training with Taylor for 3 months and in a short amount of time have seen so many positive changes in my life; physically, mentally, and emotionally. My body has never felt stronger or looked better. I have had a transformation in flexibility, balance, and mobility. Ailments that have debilitated me over the years are not even present anymore and my posture has never been better as I walk with a sense of pride, strength and health. 

I went into training thinking that it would mostly be about image and that all I really wanted was to tone up and look better. When training with Taylor, you are getting much more than that. You are gaining a sense of wellness in your life. I have more energy, my focus is better, and my stress level has decreased immensely. 

Taylor stands above and apart from most trainers/strength and conditioning coaches. He is a scientist. Plain and simple. His knowledge and skill go beyond what you think a training session is. He knows and assesses the human body so well that he can provide you with the most invaluable and personal plan where you will see immediate results. Everything I once thought I knew about training has changed because of Taylor. It’s more than exercise with Taylor Jackson; it is a change in lifestyle.”

“I have been working out with Taylor for almost a year and a half. There are many changes I have seen in myself both physically and mentally since I have been working with Taylor. I feel both stronger physically and mentally. Taylor has helped to push me to new levels when it comes to training. I am always amazed by what I have accomplished, but then Taylor reminds me that of course I can do it- I just have to believe and go for it. Anything is possible!
 
I never have felt uncomfortable when working with Taylor. He is extremely professional and very knowledgeable about each person’s body. He is excellent at explaining what I am working and how to do the exercise correctly. I trust him and I know he always has my best interest at heart even when I don’t want to do something or agree with him. HA
 
He’s the best!”

“Before meeting Taylor I was always an abiding gym member. I did my cardio and attended classes. I’ve worked along the side of several personal trainers but I never dreamt that I could attain such astonishing results as I have achieved with Taylor. I’ve been working with Taylor for almost two years and he has revolutionized my body and mind. He targeted my weakness, emphasized my strengths and helped me breakthrough my plateau. I’m now stronger, leaner, and more mentally fit than I’ve ever been in my life. I’ve become the model of fitness for my friends who use me as their ultimate goal in their workout regime. To me Taylor is not only an elite trainer but he is my fitness partner who makes sure I reach and break all my goals with patience and care.”

“I have been training with Taylor Jackson now for almost 20 months. Taylor is by far the best trainer I have worked with since I have been using trainers over the last ten years. I grew up playing multiple competitive sports and being fairly active throughout my life. Now that I’m in my late thirties, sitting behind a work desk for 12 hour days has begun to take its toll on my body, especially my legs and posture. My previous trainers all exaggerated traditional exercises such as bench press and lat pull downs at the expense of legs, hip mobility, and flexibility—I was not feeling better and posture continued to get worse. Walking on the golf course began to be a task and I felt winded. Taylor took a totally different approach than any other trainer and identified that mobility and flexibility with a primary emphasis on posture would be most beneficial to me and someone in my age group with a similar lifestyle. Taylor uses the philosophy of “strengthen and lengthen” meaning there is equal time spent stretching and lengthening muscle as there is strengthening it. It has helped my life immensely. My golf game is improving vastly; people notice my improved posture and the quality of my life have improved as a result. Taylor is the best trainer in New York.”

“One word best captures my training experience with Taylor over the past year and half: Dynamic!
 
I’ve been working out consistently since my late teens and never thought that personal training would be of any practical use to me. It wasn’t until a couple years ago that I began to experience knee discomfort—most likely, I’ve come to believe, the result of bad workout techniques.
 
Taylor came recommended to me by a good friend, and I decided to try personal training out for the first, focusing on strengthening my core and lower body.
 
Working with Taylor over this time has not disappointed me. Not only have I continued to see measurable progress and results in my strength and flexibility, but Taylor has helped develop in me the knowledge and confidence around my technique to begin building in lower body exercises on my own again.
 
Not only does Taylor bring his experience to the table, but he is also a pleasure to be around. Every time –through mixing up the routine—he leaves me sweating, exhausted, but energized to come back for more.”
