as a trainer... 12/28/2004

I am a successful personal trainer and was so fortunate to have stumbled into Elissa's gym 3 years ago! she doesn't actually have 'staff'- she is a one woman show!! I have found Elissa's to be a wonderful place to train my clients for many reasons- not the least of which is that we are all working for each other in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. I love being a 'partner' of sorts. I love that all the equipment I need is available, and though the gym is small the space is remarkably utilized and there is plenty of floor space for stretching and classes. And to make matters MORE appealing- the price is right! This is what Elissa loves to do- so the price reflects her love for her art. Pros: love of fitness!, friendly vibes!, great 'staff'!!! more

Can't quit this place! 11/16/2004

First let me start by saying that I am not a staff member!! I have been a member of Elissa's Personal Best since 2002 and find it down to earth no frills for those who are SERIOUS about a good workout or personal training session. I receive compliments all the time for being fit and I owe it all to Elissa personally because she has been my personal trainer for the past 2 years and a great inspiration to stay fit!! I would reccomend this gym to those who want a more private workout which bigger gyms can't offer. I love this place and wouldn't go anywhere else! Its clean, good trainers, sufficient workout space and equipment, what else do you need in a gym?? more

Good Gym, Good Price 8/19/2002

Elissa's gym is a clean, modern exercise room at a very reasonable price. It is this combination of size and price that drew me to it and that is what keeps me a member after six months. The equipment is top notch and there are few members to compete with. I have never gone this long with a club and that says it all. Pros: Price, Equipment, Size more

Pros: goals discussed, personal programs more

Best Little Gym in Town 8/15/2002

Ellissa's is a gym with an intimate setting. It is stocked with all the modern equipment you would want. Since one-on-one training is the main focus, hours are reserved. However, for a general monthly user like myself, I have never experienced any problems with using the facility at any time and accessing any of the equipment. Matteroffact, much of the time, I am there with only a couple others making the experience most pleasurable and not intimidating at all. The monthly cost is downright cheap for Manhattan and the trainers are all top notch, especially the owner Ellissa, who still takes on clients of her own. This is the first club that has allowed me to feel comfortable enough working out to actually stick with it. A+ Pros: Professional, Inexpensive, Non-intimidating Cons: None I have found more
