Athleticism. Strength. Confidence. Sexiness. Fitness. Vitality. At Peak Performance, New York City’s premiere private training facility, looking good isn’t just a mindset; it’s a way of life. Nestled in a 10,000 square foot sun-drenched loft high above the streets of Manhattan, Peak Performance takes fitness back to the basics…with forward-thinking motion. The experts at Peak Performance have distilled fitness down to it’s simplest, purest form – reconnecting people to their bodies and educating them about what their bodies are designed to do: run, jump, climb and lift. Inspired by their life-long dedication to athletic excellence, owners and celebrity trainers Joe Dowdell and Jay Wright have designed a unique environment, emphasizing quality over quantity, ensuring the maximum amount of space per client that sport-specific conditioning and athletic training demand. Pioneering the most innovative tools and equipment in the industry, Peak Performance offers clients a truly authentic environment, utilizing unorthodox devices such as prowlers, sleds, kettlebells, Power Plates, Woodway Desmo & Force Treadmills and Olympic weightlifting devices, as well as more traditional circuits.
Last week I was invited to Peak Performance for a comp training session with one of their personal trainers, Jeff Silverman. Being that I haven’t worked out for a hot min (except for one class of Bikram Yoga a few weeks ago), I was in bad shape. I’ve been seeking a gym to join and this was the perfect time to test the waters there, I brought my big Jeannie with me to give me motivation – she will push me. The facility was great and Jeff was a good trainer but I think he worked me a bit too hard (he knew I didn’t work out for a long time). The next day I was in pain, my inner thighs were aching so much that I could barely walk – it took 4 1/2 days to recover (same for Jeannie). Other than that, if I built up my stamina I think the routine is good and the results will show rapidly. I really enjoyed the kettle bell exercise he taught us, I will def go back to take kettle bell classes! Courtesy of Peak Performance / PWC.
