Elissa is my secret weapon!

by Zina9462 at Citysearch

I highly recommend Elissa’s Personal Best Gym if you’re looking for a trainer who is extremely passionate, professional and dedicated, with a great personality.

I come from a family of all girls; being athletic/sporty was never my thing, until I met Elissa. Elissa introduced me to a new lifestyle and was able to infuse her love for exercise into me. Thanks to her, I’m in love with my new body and have developed a habit for working out and staying fit.

In this hectic NYC lifestyle, I most appreciate Elisss’s flexibility with hours and scheduling. Another great plus: She knows how to tailor workouts—focuses on every part of the body—from stretching to toning to strengthening. Elissa is my secret weapon to making me look leaner and fit, and feel happy and healthy. With Elissa, nothing is impossible, and you’re always looking forward to a fun and interactive session. Most importantly, getting fit never felt challenging at all.

Amazing Duet Session

Signed up for a duet session with my boyfriend. The hour flew by. Elissa personalized the session to fit my boyfriend and me and it was awesome. You can't help but get motivated by her energy and enthusiasm. Can't wait to sign up for another...who thought working out could be so much fun!

Fabulous Trainer!!!

by TB0415 at Citysearch

Elissa is a fabulous trainer! Not only is she an excellent trainer but she is also a delight to workout with...i just love her personality and find her to be very inspiring - she clearly loves what she does!

I started with her about a year ago to prepare for my wedding. I became addicted to her work outs right away...she is extremely motivating and our workouts are always different and fun! Elissa really knows what works best for your body and catered my workout accordingly! Elissa helped me get to my wedding goal weight by helping me lose 15lbs and toning up my body! If it wasn't for Elissa I wouldn’t have felt/looked as great as I did on my wedding day!

When I became pregnant Elissa modified my workouts accordingly...I have worked out with her throughout my entire pregnancy and feel great! I can't wait to work out with her after the baby arrives as well....I know she will help me get back to my pre-pregnancy weight!

There is no one like Elissa!

by damedonnaanne at Citysearch

I have been working out for 30+ years and have been at many gyms. I know Elissa for about 24 years and she is a consummate professional who truly knows her craft. She has the education, knowledge, ability and creativity to construct a workout for anyone's needs and to keep it varied so there is no opportunity to get bored. She also keeps on top of the game by constantly attending seminars and workshops in the field. She is not only a master at one on one training but in designing state of the art classes in all aspects of fitness. She is not only highly intelligent but also gets along with everybody! For me, there is no one like her in the city of New York!

Elissa Rocks!

by Zcity at Citysearch

Best gym experience.. I'm not one who likes 'going to the gym', but working out with Elissa is a great time.. She puts on the music and we get to work.. I get the benefit of a full service gym but enjoy private, professional one on one training geared to my needs. She is very knowledgeable about multiple methods and workout approaches and continues to educate herself to keep current with any new trends. Every workout is a challenge with different routines which provides variety for my muscles and keeps it interesting for my brain! Elissa is my personal cheerleader and she works as hard as I do to whip me into shape. I can't thank her enough!
