Are you looking to hire a personal trainer but not sure how much it costs? Personal training costs can vary based on the location and type of program you choose. A personal trainer at a big box gym like Equinox can charge anywhere from $130 to $200 per hour. On the other hand, online personal training programs can range from $3200 to $5000 for a 12-week program, which includes virtual coaching and nutrition advice.
But just doing a beach body workout program might not be enough. These workouts aren't tailored to your specific needs and results may vary. A healthy and fit body requires a combination of regular exercise and a nutritious diet. That's why we offer personalized training, nutrition coaching, and accountability at AB Fitness Center for just $35 per session (price may vary based on your needs). Remember, personal training is an investment in your health and well-being. Majority of people that come to us are doing two things 1. Eating too much of the wrong foods 2. Drinking empty calories in the form of soda, sugary coffees and/or alcohol Most people are eating fast food an average of 3x per week ~$100 Drinking coffee with way too many calories daily $35 per week Consuming alcohol and partaking in late nights out that lead to late night eating ~ $50-100 per week. These bad habits are costing roughly $600-750 per month! Not only that but they are making you very unhealthy! Now what’s the main thing you know you will need to do to improve your body? Cut out the majority of those things and take steps in the right direction! Check out this image we created to help you see how personal training actually saves you money! Before hiring a personal trainer, it's important to do research and find the best program for your needs. Look for a knowledgeable and experienced trainer who understands your goals and who you feel comfortable with. Get recommendations from friends and family, read reviews, and research the trainer's credibility. Also, consider the location and availability of the trainer's studio or gym. It's crucial to find a supportive and patient trainer who can help you feel confident and motivated during your workouts. Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you're interested in our in-person or remote personal training program. And if you are ready to transform your health and fitness submit your info below and a coach will get back to you with the details PS: Our Personal Training Program pays for itself. Curious how: the average person spends $200 on useless supplements, gym memberships (they never use) and about $400 on eating and drinking out (that are sabotaging their results) – PER MONTH. That’s $600 wasted on things that are taking you further away from your goals! When you invest in AB Fitness Center's personal training program, you will learn what works for your body. This means that you can save money each month on things that you don’t even need!

hOW TO ACTUALLY LOSE FAT: pART 1 | hOW TO bURN FAT 24/7: | 5 sTRATEGIES TO use: |
Many other personal trainers on Long Island can be seen doing really “cool” workouts that make fitness fun and exciting. Me I personally focus on the things that work to get results. That’s a completely different topic we will cover at another time. So why would I ever make my clients climb things in the park? Is it because it’s a good workout? No Is it because it’s fun? No Is it because it will burn fat? Nope It’s because it pushes them outside of their comfort zone! You see all the things that you do not have yet that you want in life are on the other side of your comfort zone. The only way to strengthen this muscle like any other muscle is to constantly challenge it. Fitness, health, strength, fat loss, they are all on the other side of your comfort zone. You better get used to stepping outside of it if you want to get what you want out of yourself and in life! Even the best personal trainer near you cannot do this for you. You must look at yourself and decide you are going to get what you want! No go get it! | |
The reason we do is because TRUE fat loss can never be made with these “30 lbs in 30 days” gimmicks. Sure you can starve yourself and lose a ton of water weight, stored carbohydrates and even muscle mass....but is that what you really want? To end up looking 30lbs smaller and “skinny fat” with no muscle? An example of “fat loss” looks like comes from our client Mike Mike was 220 just 3 months ago and now he’s down to just under 206 and still going. That’s 14 lbs in 3 months but it’s right around 1-1.5ls ever week. At that rate Mike has been able to maintain muscle and strength and also drop purely body fat. These are the changes that you look at a person and say wow you look great! Looks great after the fact but mikes weight loss was not linear. He actually gained some weight during this transformation as one week his weight was higher than the previous on multiple occasions. The main factor is however that his weight trended down overall. It’s so important to just keep going. Weight loss is never linear and expecting it to be is a recipe for failure. Ps. If your looking to work with the best personal trainer on Long Island. Look no further than AB Fitness Center! |

In 2nd place Losing a total of 3% bodyfat 12 inches total 3 inches off the Waist Tara Buonocore Rut Husband and wife team!! In first place Losing 4% Bodyfat 14 total inches 3 off the Hips Sabrina Galeotafiore!!!! They accomplished all this in 30 days! That right 30 days...working out between 2-3x per week for 30 minutes only! They did this by focusing on weight training with big compound movements, eating carbs and get this ZERO cardio!!! As you all can see this contest has nothing to do with weight lost on the scale it has to do with losing real fat!

Why cardio will make you fat!
10/30/2019
Yup that’s right doing too much cardio will make you fat!
If your goal is to lose unwanted fat and not spending hours in the gym cardio is not for you!
Cardio can and will make you fatter
Here is why!
1. Cardio burns muscle- when it comes to changing the way you look muscle is the most important thing. Muscle is active tissue in your body...muscles help you move and speed up your metabolism
Cardio on the other hand doesn’t...doing too much cardio taps into muscle for fuel which causes your body to break down muscle tissue. The less muscle tissue you have the slower your metabolism will be the fatter you will get. Cardio doesn’t build muscle so it does nothing to speed up your metabolism at rest
2. Increased hunger- doing excessive amounts of cardio will make you more hungry. Most people believe that if they burn 500 calories on the treadmill or in fruit theory class that they can eat 500 calories more. It doesn’t work like that. You don’t lose fat from 1 meal you lose it over weeks and months of being in a caloric deficit (eating less calories then you are burning). Cardio makes you feel tired and when you are tired hunger levels rise
3. Slows down your metabolism- your body is an adapting machine and can adapt to anything that you do. So when you are doing cardio 3-5x a week your body becomes reliant on that amount of cardio. If you happen to miss a week of cardio your body will sense that it didn’t burn that many calories and will gain weight because of that. Like I also stated in point 1 cardio does nothing to help build muscle which speeds up your metabolism. If muscle is so important for a healthy metabolism then why focus on cardio!
Don’t fall prey to fitness cardio scams and spend hours of your life doing cardio. Like I say in the video work smarter not harder!

Why Orange Theory is a waste
10/25/2019
Why Fruit Theory gym is not helping you?
You all know what place I am talking about. In fact I want to start off by saying that doing anything is better than doing nothing. I won’t take anything away from them in that regard. They are getting people moving and out of the house and that’s a win.
However they are flawed....when you are trying to get skinner, toner and to look better overall those workouts will do slim to none.
70% of the equation comes from the nutrition. So if you want lose weight most of it is going to come from your diet anyway. They don’t even mention anything about that...you can’t out exercise a bad diet...so doing hours of cardio activity will only leave you tired burned out and less toned then if you didn’t do any of it at all!
At the fruit place they focus on burning calories and not on the bigger picture. In order to lose weight and tighten up you need to focus on strength training. Strength training is the only vehicle out there that promotes:
🔥🔥 Burning more calories at rest LONG TERM
💪🏻💪🏻 Improves strength for everyday use
📏📏 Improves Range of motion and flexibility
🦴🦴 Improves Bone Strength to prevent osteoporosis
🕐🕙 Less time in the gym
Studies show that 30 minutes of Weight training 2-3x per week combined with proper nutrition can result in improved body composition changes (you will be more toned and fit)
Then cardio alone
So instead of wasting hours jumping from the treadmill to the bike to a rower pick up a Barbell and lift!
Your body and your pants size will thank you!

1. Plan dinner choices ahead
Weekend eating is generally ruined by social events. Regardless if it’s a party or restaurant with the family or friends you still have the option to plan ahead and not each terrible. Pick the food you plan to eat ahead of time and plug it into your my fitness pal or your preferred method of tracking and work backwards throughout the rest of the day to make sure you do not go over your calorie budget.
2. Allow for 1-2 drinks max
Again if you plan ahead and account for this you can fit it in. Its when you don’t plan and you “wing it” you get into trouble. You have 1 and before you know it you are on your 4th or 5th and grabbing dessert. Don’t let that be you, plan ahead!
3. Keep busy. The biggest challenge is the change in normal routine or schedule. Too many times we make poor decisions based out of boredom, not true hunger!
4. Get a workout in (ideally with one of the best personal trainers on long island AB Fitness Center) to offset some of those extra calories you might take in. The biggest issue for most is fitness becomes out of site out of mind on the weekend. Still getting your workouts in keeps fitness at the top of your mind.
5. Enjoy yourself but keep going! Just because it’s the weekend doesn’t mean your goals need time off!
