Fit Club NY - Williamsburg

Thank you Fit Club! Chris and Nick are awesome physical therapists, rehabbing me from a torn ACL and meniscus. They made sure I made great progress in range of motion and stability while ensuring I did not have any setbacks. Definitely made my knee stronger in a shorter time than I could have hoped for. Highly recommend!

Chris and Maddie were really helpful and knowledgeable about reaching my goals for a healthy knee and made things fun. Appreciated their willingness to walk me through why we did all these exercises.

After being a client for 2 months, I was charged for an appointment I couldn’t make because I tore my meniscus on the same day. Even though I explained the situation to the staff, I was still charged. And even though I had another session scheduled for that week, they wouldn’t allow me to use that as the replacement session. Very disappointed in the way I was treated by those who were supposed to be looking out for my care.

Best PT experience I’ve had. Came in expecting to have to go to surgery in 8 weeks, was shocked when I had recovered and no longer needed to get an invasive surgery. Chris, John, and the whole team at Fit Club are next level PTs

Customer service and information about insurance is terrible here. Picked this because it was "in-network" on zocdoc. Get a note from Fit Club saying they can use my insurance. Sign up for an appointment with "Kyle" only to find Kyle is not the person I'm seeing. Ok, no biggie, need to get to work. Go to have PT and its in the corner of a gym on a few mats among the rest of the gym goers. Ok, no big deal, lets just focus on the task at hand. Then out of nowhere the person I was seeing no longer worked there so I switch PTs. Try to get my claim submitted for a month+ so I can have it go against my deductible only to find out today that they say they don't take my insurance and they only take medicare. They stink. If you enjoy consistent, poor communication you've come to the right place. Stinky. Stink lines. All of the smells.

Per the below reply - if you are out of network, why did I get an email saying you can take my insurance?

Nikki was a lifesaver with my recovery from a back issue in November. With a clear plan of exercises to rebuild strength and resilience, I was back to my best in no time. Highly recommend!

I started going to Fit Club with Nikki after suffering a fully torn meniscus and ACL. Nikki fully expedited my recovery in a way that I couldn’t have imagined. She is a true professional and pushed me to get back to my original goals. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Fit Club has been really great in helping me with my painful IT band. My PT, Nicole Bick, has taught me a lot about increasing my strength and balance. She has educated me and armed me with the tools to continue working on these things on my own.

Amazing hands on and personalized physical therapy studio.

I’ve worked with Nicole and Jay here for now 4 months and here are the highlights:
- Personalized program and follow ups over email outside the studio for at home workouts
- Really knowledgeable and kind PT staff
- Robust equipment like cupping, e-stim, and other gym equipment
- Flexible scheduling

The best physical therapy I’ve ever had and I’ve had many injuries over the years. Super awesome that it’s also located in the gym which provides lots of space.

Make sure you see Kyle Sanchez! He’s super attentive, intelligent, and kind. Totally attribute my ankle recovery to him.

Nikki was great to work with, she was very attentive and helped me alot with strengthening my core and glutes

Been hammering PT with Dr. Nikki. Fitclub has been great working with my insurance and the Therapy itself has been awesome. I appreciate that they are willing to take an aggressive (while safe) approach to increasing range of movement and returning from injury.

Had a great experience with Ben, Estefania, and Jelani. Great place if you already work out- they focus on stretches and strengthening exercises that really helped my shoulder pain and I’ll be able to continue to do at home!

I started working with Benjamin of NY Fit Club because I developed persistent back pain that impacted my mobility and overall quality of life. The problem kept me from activities I enjoy, like going to the gym and riding my motorcycle; the issue also impacted my productivity at work.

During my initial consultation, Ben took time to explore my problem in an empathic manner. He answered all my questions, helped me understand the pain and its causes, and developed a resolution plan. And when I expressed a desire for a quick fix, he helped me understand and accept that we were undertaking a process to undo the damage that was likely years in the making.
Over several weeks, Ben walked me through a program that has significantly improved my pain. I’ve made my way back into the gym, I’m back on my motorcycle, and I can make it through the workday without relying on pain medicine.

I strongly recommend Ben to anyone suffering from mobility issues. His knowledge, empathy, and the facilities from which he works add up to provide an excellent option for addressing your problems.

So glad I found this place. 3 months ago I dislocated & fractured my shoulder in a dirtbike crash, and already I am back to all of my sports. Ben and the other staff have been nothing but incredibly helpful, kind & attentive. They take the time to explain exercises & form in detail and stick with you during your reps. Ben understands the mental side to injuries as well, and makes space to talk about that during our sessions. I’ve never had that experience during PT before and didn’t realize I needed it. I went from tearing up from frustration on my first session to lifting real weight 6 weeks later. Very glad I came. Great facilities as well. Thank you fit club

Great large space and energy in the gym. No frills! Just a good reasonably priced place to get healthy!

Big fan of Fit Club. Their staff is great and helped me work through lower back pain and I’m now pain free!

I have been a patient here for a few months and have recovered quite nicely from my shoulder and knee injuries. I am a chiropractor and therefore very sensitive to the skill of fellow practitoners. These guys are top-notch and give 110%. I see Jason but have had interactions with or observed the other PT's and the assistants as well. They're all great. This isn't a corporate PT shop where you are treated like cattle. The providers here spend time to evaluate on each session, do hands on therapy and supervise the exercises you perform. In most PT shops you're on your own most of the time. They are out of network but that is the reason they can give good care.

Fit Club is awesome, and Dr. Kyle Sanchez is the best!

The billing department is extremely kind and helpful. Training in the upscale Grind House gym for Physical Therapy makes for a great location. Everyone I talked to and worked with on the Fit Club Williamsburg team was so incredible. If I have other PT issues in the future, I will definitely be coming back here! Highly recommend Dr. Kyle Sanchez, he is super down-to-earth and great at addressing your very specific PT goals. My back pain has drastically improved.

Fit Club has made it easy to book appointments, feel better while doing the work. My therapist is Kyle and John tags in for focused work. They are friendly and super knowledgeable. I feel I’m making progress.

I had back and glute pain. Sometimes I could not drive for more than two hours due to the pain. It also affected my gym routine, for example, I couldn’t run. I tried Fit Club because it was right around where I lived but it far exceeded my expectation. Unlike the prior PTs I did in the city, there were no useless massage or outrageous bills. I worked with Johnathan and Estefania. They focused on detecting the root cause of my pain, ie muscle imbalance and weakness, and developed a routine that I can practice anywhere. After a few weeks, my pain was gone and I felt stronger. I continue to incorporate what I learned into my daily exercises.

Really helpful, detailed feedback and training that helped with knee pain. Everyone was friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

Estefania is really great to work with. She does a wonderful job of assessing my progress from my last visit. She makes sure I don’t overdo my rehab but that I also push myself. I like how she is able to give me concrete reasons for why we are doing each exercise so I understand how everything is connected to improve my knee.

Great experience so far with Dr. Scantlebury and the Fit Club NYC Team. The trainers are considerate, understanding and have a deep knowledge of how to cure ailments across the entire human body. Would recommend!

Love Fit Club, it’s awesome that they have access to the whole gym for sessions and Jason is the man! Really knows his stuff and will explain everything you’re doing and why. Can’t recommend him (and Fit Club) enough!

When I started at FitClub, I had a separated shoulder and had serious mobility issues. Having spent a few months working with SK, I feel better than ever and have increased stability in the shoulder that i injured. SK was a pleasure to work with, he's extremely knowledgable and he helped me tailor a goal oriented recovery plan that got me healed in no time. Cannot recommend this place and SK enough.

Came here due to a climbing injury, and Stephie has really helped me recover and helped me understand and strengthen my body against future injuries. Everyone here is very kind and helpful too. Thanks!

I can't say enough good things about Fit Club! I've been coming to see Shari for a long-ignored running injury, and she's been wonderful - really listens to how I'm feeling, and will adapt my program accordingly. I've done PT at other places before where it felt like glorified stretching, but when I leave my appointments now I am sore and can really feel my strength coming back. The cherry on top is how nice and fun all of the staff is - I enjoy seeing them every week.

Being a part of fitclub has changed my workout and everyday life for the better. Meeting Jason Thompson and the rest of the fitclub crew was just what i needed to curate a way to prevent lower back pain. I came into the program reluctant due to negative past experiences with physical therapy. From day one, Jason and the fitclub crew were amicable, reassuring, and genuinely great people to learn and strive for continued back relief. I walk away today fully discharged with a new routine for lower back relief and strengthening. Thank you to Jason and the fitclub crew for your continued support and though I don't hope to be back for physical therapy, I hope to one day reunite.
For those skeptical and reading this, trust me whatever the problem is whether your back, shoulders, knees, joints; the fitclub crew will do their best to have you leaving better than you came in. If you're looking for a sign to join up, this is it! Much love Jason and the rest of Fitclub.

Before I went to Fitclub and started working with SK, I went to several doctors, chiropractors and physical therapists to find a solution to my years of pain. For reference I believe i’ve had back and neck pain predominantly for the last 6/7 years, and it got increasingly worse. They either couldn’t provide me with a solution or could only heal me short term. After my first session with SK I IMMEDIATELY felt the difference! I already felt lighter and stronger, and continued to do so as I kept coming back. He also gave me the confidence to apply our exercises (with good form so I don’t continue to injure myself) in my weekly workout routine which has improved my workouts tremendously. He was happy to answer any questions with allowed me to improve my understanding of how to relieve body stress!

The staff at fitclub are attentive, kind and definitely know how to help their clients achieve their goals! SK made me feel comfortable in a space i’m usually not comfortable in and gave me the tools and guidance to work towards and achieve my goals! 10/10 would recommend!

I am extremely grateful to have found Jason at Fit Club. Over the past few months his expertise and pragmatism have helped me heal a neck/nerve injury that originally seemed like it would require surgical intervention. Although the recovery has been dramatic, Jason explained each step along the way so that I could effectively do my part at home between sessions.

The proof is in the results - after a few months with Jason working on my knee, I went from barely being able to run a mile to completing a 70 mile hike. Jason was friendly and easy to work with, and I appreciated that he listened and was able to quickly adapt to my feedback. It's clear he knows what he's doing.

Dr. Shari and the team at Fit Club are amazing. She listens to everything you tell her, she’s very attentive to details, and she’s SO knowledgable about the body and reasons behind your aches and pains. Can’t recommend her enough - I’ve been without back pain for over 6 months and I’m lifting heavier than ever before. Thank you Dr. Shari!

Dr. Jason Thompson has helped me connect my body's lack of mobility and stability with functional movements that enhance flexibility, strength and flow of movement. His ease in understanding my physical ailments with a desired outcome is gracefully intervened with his knowledge of the human body. My experience with this physical therapist is of utmost respect for the applied skill he holds in every session. Thank you Dr. Thompson.

I worked with Dr. Shari Goodhart for approximately 4 months to treat some serious high hamstring tendinitis. She was excellent. She adapted a diverse exercise/rehab plan but also mixed it up to keep things interesting and keep me engaged. She also gave me a home rehab program as well as a "pre hab" program that I could follow after I finish physical therapy to prevent recurring injury.

She is also a lovely person. She is funny and engaging and made PT something that I looked forward I really enjoyed getting to know her during the course of my rehab. Would definitely recommend Fit Club and Dr. Shari in particular.

I started seeing Dr. Shari for PT a few months ago after being referred by a friend. As a former dancer, I have seen many PT's. Shari is one of the best! She has helped me get my right shoulder stronger which has eliminated a lot of the pain that I was having. We have done both in-person and virtual appointments. Highly recommended!

I just ran the marathon this past weekend and Otto was awesome! The sports massage really helped me get back to the track faster as well as the active recovery boots. Great place, clean and everyone was super nice and helpful.

Dr. Shari and Andrea are exceptional physical therapists! They combine a real knowledge base with patient, effective treatment. They helped me to assess the issues with my back, core and legs and then to strengthen them with a tailored regimen. I highly recommend Fit Club Williamsburg to anyone, especially with injuries related to working-out.

When I broke my ankle during the pandemic in NYC, I wasn't sure what recovery was going to look like. Dr. Shari was so flexible to meet all of my needs! Between virtual and in-person appointments, my ankle is now on it's way to being fully healed. The Fit Club team is very knowledgeable and personable -highly recommend to anyone with any type of injury or pain!

I've been working with Dr. Shari for a few weeks after surgery for an achilles rupture, and I could not have had a better experience! Her team is super attentive and encouraging, and they really know what they're doing - I'm starting to do exercises without my boot after only five weeks post-op. Highly recommend Fit Club for any post-surgical physical therapy!

I always look forward to my sessions with Dr. Shari. I’ve grown a ton stronger and aches and pains are a thing of the past. Thank you, Dr. Shari!

Otto has a MAGIC TOUCH! He really does:) Came in with severe lower back pain, and felt a difference right after my first appointment. This is a great and dedicated team that listens to your needs and builds an active recovery according to your pace. Highly recommended!

My orthopedist wanted me to work on core strength and balance in order to relieve problems with knee pain. I had experienced physical therapy before for a shoulder issue and expected success. However, I didn't expect the diagnostic skill and careful staging of this rehab. Dr. Goodhart is deeply analytical.she watches what is happening with each move and adjusts next steps. As a result, my knee pain was banished in just a few sessions and I began to see results in my weak core strength and pretty scary balance issues. Perhaps more importantly, for the first time in my life I am interested in/committed to daily exercise. I have always seen my body as a sort of burden with no capacity for real strength or flexibility. And now, at this unlikely age, I am excited by my potential to be strong, able and flexible. This is because of the good fortune of my encounters with Dr. Goodhart. Dr. Goodhart helped me achieve success with my original presenting issue, and has changed my future in such a positive way.

Wonderful, professional staff and a very spacious area that goes a long way towards putting your mind at ease during Covid-19. My physical trainer, Otto, has been excellent and everyone I've dealt with in terms of customer service has gone above and beyond. No complaints, highly recommend.

I went to Fit Club for quite a few physical therapy sessions with Dr. Shari Goodhart and I am beyond grateful for that. Shari helped me improve my health and physical condition within a few weeks. I owe her my recovery. She has amazing knowledge, patience and is very kind. I cannot recommend her more.

The rest of the staff is also very friendly and helps whenever they can. Great physical therapy, great community. Thank you Shari, thank you Fit Club.

The personal training program at FitClub is great! My son recommended Dr. Otto Lam for personal training for me back in June, when I didn't feel comfortable going back to any gym. We have been doing weekly zoom sessions since then, and I love them! Otto is very encouraging and he makes the workouts fun! He listens to any concerns I have and helps address areas I want to work on, and he suggests a wide range of exercises that enable me to use the equipment I have on hand. When I injured my knee in a bike fall, he suggested some exercises that really helped me heal. I never feel intimidated like I used to when working with a personal trainer. Thanks to Otto and the Fit Club program, I feel like I am gaining strength and staying in shape while also staying safe during Covid time.

Like many other folks since the start of the pandemic I've been spending a lot more time at my desk and a lot less time moving around. This has led to injuries that made seek out Fit Club Williamsburg. At Fit Club I worked with Otto Lam for the past 4 months who created a therapy program specifically for my needs / people who sit at a computer all day. I highly recommend Otto as his program has worked really well and when I bring up new injuries he adapts the program accordingly after an evaluation. He's excellent to work with, kind, empathetic and punctual. The space is also really nice, clean, very open/airy and not crowded at all.

After getting knee surgery due to a rock climbing injury, I was looking for no-nonsense, strength-based physical therapy that would get me back climbing stronger than when I got injured. Otto Lam and the team at Fit Club have provided exactly what I was looking for. Within six weeks I regained full range of motion and was climbing shortly thereafter. After feeling like I was wasting time with other physical therapists, I can't recommend Otto and Fit Club enough.

I go to Otto Lam in Brooklyn and he’s beyond amazing! I had excruciating knee pain that made it hard to do anything like climb up or go down steps as well as any form of exercise. I was sure knee surgery was in my future. Going to PT was a last ditch effort and Otto made it so worthwhile. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and easy to work with. He was able to figure out what was going on with my knee as well as give me the perfect exercises to heal it. It started getting better after my first visit and, a couple of months later, I can barely feel any pain. I’m back to exercising fully and going up and down the stairs is a breeze again. I seriously could not have even hoped this would happen at the start and I’m so very thankful for the kindness, thought and dedication he brings to his work.

I CANT say enough about the service i’ve received. Just when i thought i would probably never walk the same after knee surgery, I contacted Fit Club Williamsburg and was fortunate enough to hear that they took my insurance.

Doctors said I would be up and about in approximate 3 days after surgery. After 3 weeks of being unable to bend my knee, no less walk, I made an appointment with Otto at Fit Club and immediately began to see mobility and better range of motion just after one virtual session. I currently completed 9 in person sessions and I'm doing absolutely great! I would recommend Fit Club Williamsburg to anyone who thinks they will never move the same!

Amazing what these guys can accomplish through a video PT appointment. They were able to schedule me within a couple hours and walk me through the exercises/movements that have really helped resolve my problems. Otto is great and I am looking forward to continuing to work with him.

100% recommend to anyone needing physical therapy. I was suffering from bad posture and back pain since I was a kid and have tried physical therapy before with no success. At Fit Club I could tell immediately that this was going to be different. My physical therapist Otto quickly identified my weak spots and gave me thoughtful exercises specifically catered to me. With Fit Club you know you are getting one on one care from a trained physical therapist. The Williamsburg location is great as you have access to the gym during training sessions, and still have access to dedicated therapy rooms.

In two months of training with Otto, I’ve already surpassed almost all of my PRs in 4 years of working out. He’s incredibly attentive and tailors each workout to suit your goals. I had a lower back injury that hindered my progress, but with his guidance I’ve felt much more confident in pushing my limits safely. Otto explains how each exercise affects different muscle groups so I’m not just blindly following a workout, but also understanding the science behind it. He’s patient, encouraging, and has helped me to not only lift heavier but also to genuinely enjoy working out again.

I also saw Kellen for a nutritional consult and he took the time to break down my habits in detail. Instead of completely changing my diet which can be daunting and difficult to maintain, he implemented three small changes to my day. Even though it’s only been two weeks, I can already feel a huge difference. I cannot recommend Otto, Kellen, and the rest of the Fit Club team enough!
