Inside the Palisades studio





Your personal trainer
The best personal trainer near you is the one who fits you. At our Palisades personal training studio you get a private personal trainer, matched to you on three things — personality, schedule and skillset. Your trainer is your strength training coach: they build your program, coach every one-on-one personal training session, and track your progress in the Foundation Fitness PT app and on your InBody scans.
What our Palisades personal trainers specialize in
Nationally recognized certifications
PESPerformance Enhancement Specialist
CESCorrective Exercise Specialist
BCSBehavior Change SpecialistStrength training over 60
Strong, steady, independent. Our Palisades personal trainers build joint-friendly strength programs for adults 60 to 80 and beyond — private, paced sessions designed around arthritis, replaced joints or balance concerns. We never push through pain, and this is not a boot camp. No age limit — our youngest client is 8 and our oldest is 97.
Weight loss
Lose fat, not muscle. Strength-first personal training for sustainable fat loss, with realistic nutrition coaching and the InBody scan to show what is really changing.

Our newly renovated studio specializes in 1 on 1 Personal Training and Semi Private Training. Each program is individualized based on your specific goals/needs and includes progress tracking, nutrition guidance, mobility work, functional movements and strength training. There is also a warmup, foam rolling and dynamic stretching protocol that is completed before your training session starts.

There are many factors we consider to determine the recommended program: Size and complexity of personal goals, availability, comfort with weight training, injury history, current fitness/health status, travel schedule, level of accountability needed, size/quality of support system, and of course, personal preferences and past experiences with PT.
We are more than happy to answer any general questions you may have over the phone or via email, but we find it works best if you come in for a Free Fitness Consultation.
During the consultation we will tour the studio, discuss your exercise/medical history and fitness goals, then review our programs to see what works best with your schedule and budget.
We place you with your trainer based on three criteria. Personality, schedule and skillset.
We believe in transparency, especially when it comes to progress tracking. We use the Foundation Fitness PT app to track workouts and strength progress in and out of the studio, weekly InBody scans to track body composition changes and MindBody Online (scheduling software) to track consistency.
As a general rule, 4-6 days of physical activity per week is recommended. Those do not all need to be with Personal Training or even strength based workouts. Cardio, walking, yoga, pilates and martial arts are all great additions to the overall program. That being said, this can be tricky to balance, so we will help you build the perfect program that will both provide enough training to reach your goals while not causing unneeded stress or burnout.
At Foundation Fitness, you’ll quickly notice something is different. We believe that your gym should inspire you to be the best version of yourself, inside and out.
