Client Testimonials

As an independent trainer, I needed a nice place to take my clients that was convenient, affordable, run by a stand-up management team, and had all the equipment I needed. Well, I found it here at Independent Training Spot. I love this place so much that I want to advertise it as much as possible. I am only in the city two days a week, but I have trained 6 clients here so far. Rick is a class act. Even though I can leave at the drop of a dime, Rick treats me as if I have been there for years. His passion for his business, clients, and trainers creates an overwhelmingly positive experience. I want to bring all my business here.

What an awesome place! As a fitness professional, it’s great to find a space with good energy and a positive environment. I met Rick, and he was a tremendous help. If you’re an independent trainer and need a place to train clients, check it out.

It is hands down the best place in the city for trainers to train their clients! Also, Rick and Marc (the owners) are amazing guys!

Rick Richey: Indpendent Training Spot

Let Us Help You Grow Your Classes and Your Career—Faster.

As a long-time coach in NYC, I know how hard it is to find space to run your own classes—without giving up control or a chunk of your income.

That’s why I started Group by ITS.

There were options for personal trainers. But for group fitness instructors? Almost nothing.

Group by ITS gives you premium studio space, flexible scheduling, and the freedom to grow on your terms.

Whether you’re launching your first class or scaling up, this is the space to build something real and lasting.
