I love this gym. It’s just different — different thinkers, different ways of moving. Training with Kevin and the team is always tough, intentional, and honestly what I’ve been looking for. The focus on hanging and upper back strength is a big shift from how I used to train, and it’s been so rewarding. I wasn’t feeling mentally challenged with the typical gym formula or movement styles, but this place keeps me engaged. The community and vibe are awesome. Highly recommend

I started coming here a little over a year ago because I needed structure in a lot of the bodyweight skills and patterns I wanted to learn. This place offers to teach you a holistic perspective on human movement in a general movement practice. When I first joined I was mostly attending the 11am classes with a group of hard working, similarly driven people whose company I really enjoyed. There’s a great variety of topics in each class and you’ll quickly learn where your strengths and struggles are and how to approach them. Topics include strength work, mobility, coordination, rhythm, moving patterns in and around the squat, movement on the floor, soft acrobatics, and balance work to name a few. With the coronavirus outbreak I switched to online instruction, and this has been where by biggest progress has taken place. This is the most consistent I’ve ever been in pursuit of any physical goals because I have people to keep me accountable and I have things I can work on in the “here and now” that will eventually lead me to being able to achieve these goals. More importantly, there’s been a positive shift in how I feel about myself when it comes to what I perceive as “failure.” I’ve learned to treat myself better. I really hope to see this practice grow, encourage anyone who’s interested to give it a try, and I look forward to developing stronger relationships with everyone here :)

At 63, my goal was to improve overall fitness while increasing flexibility, mobility, and strength. In 6 months, thanks to Locomotions' individualized programming and unique techniques, I’ve made great progress in all areas. The warm-up drills are fun and different and focus on balance and flexibility in ways that are effective and engaging. The workouts add in strength training and are also quite innovative which has helped keep me motivated in ways that other gyms and programs I’ve tried over the years never did. Another reason I love Locomotion is the people. Kevin and his staff are all friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely care about helping people meet (exceed) their expectations. I’ve worked with Kevin, Matt and GiGi and they’re all great! I’ve had knee and shoulder injuries that required careful attention and previous PT, but Kevin seamlessly tailored my strength training to accommodate them. The result? Both have improved beyond what physical therapy ever achieved! Kind of an amazing and unexpected result to be honest. One of the biggest wins for me has been my bone health. After being diagnosed with osteopenia a few years ago, I just had a new scan that showed bone growth! If this progress continues, I could be outside the osteopenia range by my next scan. That alone is enough to keep me coming back to Locomotion. If you’re looking for a place to workout that delivers real results in a supportive (but challenging) and inspiring environment, do yourself a favor and give Locomotion New York a try!

I've been training here for two years, and it's truly changed my life. After 15+ years of sedentary remote work and painful arthritis, I never imagined I'd be squatting, hanging from bars, or crawling across the room! The gym uses a unique movement-focused approach (no intimidating machines!), emphasizing calisthenics, variety, and fun. I'm stronger, pain-free, and excited to ski again. It's so welcoming—my kids even train alongside me, and my sister loved it too. Plus, I've found wonderful friends who hike and socialize together outside the gym. Highly recommend for any age or fitness level!

I'm just half-way through the on-boarding process and I'm already feeling the benefits of the strength and mobility that comes with natural movement. If this is the type of physique you're looking for then this is place I most highly recommend!

I highly recommend Kevin and Locomotion. If you are looking for a lifestyle of free movement and free thinking, try this unique and special place! Flexibility, strength, focus, muscle awareness, self awareness, and a great group of people is what you will find at Locomotion!

“Locomotion taught me how to move my body again. Connecting mind & body. All the stuck parts now fluid. The movement training makes my life livable! Old wounds finally healed through strength, spine and coordination work.” — Jen G. (6 years at Loco!)
