SlowBurn Personal Training - For Smart People - Just Like You! SlowBurn personal training is a semi-private, one to one studio where you get the very best in personalized exercise instruction. Your certified instructor guides you to your goals every step of the way! The world renowned SlowBurn method is a form of strengthening exercise that uses very slow, smooth, and controlled lifting and lowering movements, rather than the typical high force, explosive lifting seen in most gyms and training studios. It is very similar to the way the gentle yet powerful martial art Tai Chi is performed. There are no sudden, explosive or highly abrupt movements that can potentially cause injury. Every exercise is performed in a controlled and focused fashion. Research indicates that this method produces equal to and greater benefits than traditional lifting methods. The SlowBurn personal training method not only improves your muscular strength, but your flexibility, endurance, aerobic power and metabolic rate. All in just 30 minutes a week! All of our certified instructors teach the SlowBurn method exclusively and all sessions are one on one. No loud groups or rude people. Why Choose SlowBurn Personal Training? Safety and efficiency. You've heard it all before. You've been told by your doctor and every media outlet on the planet that you need to exercise for at least 30-60 minutes everyday. You are told to do weights, cardio and stretch to see results. Not if you're doing SlowBurn! The SlowBurn system of exercise changes the playing field. SlowBurn personal training allows for maximum benefits in minimum time. This is achievable due to the deep level of stimulation that SlowBurn exercise provides. You'll become stronger, more flexible, and improve endurance all in just one or two thirty minute workouts a week. We have been using the SlowBurn technique exclusively for 18 years at both locations (NYC and Montclair N.J.) and have conducted thousands of personal training sessions with people just like you with tremendous success. Tony Robbins endorses us. What are the benefits of SlowBurn training? Improved cardiovascular health Increased bone density Raised H.D.L. or "good" cholesterol Improved blood pressure in older and even younger people Enhanced joint flexibility in younger and older people Better muscular endurance Lower back and neck pain relief Arthritis pain relief Boosted energy and strength during pregnancy Controlled blood sugar Increased lean tissue (muscle and bone) Accelerated metabolic rate Decreased intra-abdominal fat Halts and reverses adolescent obesity Improved mood and cognitive function And a whole lot more. Bear this in mind - if you're not actively making yourself stronger, you're actively getting weaker. What's important to understand is that, beginning around age 30 we all slowly but surely lose muscle, bone, endurance, and strength unless we do something about. Science reveals that strength training is the most effective and efficient form of exercise to halt and reverse this loss. While it is certainly true that other forms of exercise like Pilates, Yoga, swimming or cycling certainly provide health benefits, research reveals that these activities can't reverse (let alone improve) muscle and bone nearly as well as a sound strength training program. Interesting, right? Not only does science reveal that strength training is the best form of exercise to restore lost lean tissue, strength training is also shown to provide every other health benefit we require – cardio, flexibility and all. It's an all-in-one exercise program! Yoga poses will be easier. Your tennis serve will be more powerful. You'll be able to do the toughest moves in Pilates. And your golf drive – forget about it. And that heavy bag of kitty litter – it will feel like a joke. SlowBurn exercise stimulates positive adaptations to every aspect of your body including flexibility, the cardiovascular system and resting metabolic rate. This means you burn more energy at rest which contributes to leanness. Less Exercise, Better Results Once stimulated, the body needs time, roughly 48-96 hours, to produce maximal benefits. Science indicates that if the quality of an exercise program is high, 1-2 sessions a week of strength training is more than adequate to cause optimal positive results. Remember, exercise itself doesn't make you fit or healthy. Your body becomes healthier and fitter if the exercise stimulus is adequate and if adequate rest and recovery is allowed for. Maximum and Permanent Fat Loss Fat loss is different from weight loss. Weight loss is not really what you want - fat loss is. This is because weight loss can result from muscle and bone loss as well as fat. You want to lose fat only and build bone and muscle at the same time. And this is what our personal training program will do for you.

    Amazing place. Feel so much better with each work out. The trainer that I have really cares. When I have used back up trainers, I have similar experience. Very impressive that they all have a system that they follow that works. Jake, Ariel, Tommy!!

    I’ve been training at Serious Strength with Tommy Day and must say I have never felt stronger or healthier. I’ve been a yoga practitioner for more than 30 years so I’m no stranger to exercise, but Slow Burn under the guidance of Tommy, has made me feel more fit than ever. He is patient, instructive and encouraging as well as knowledgeable. A true mentor and source of inspiration.

    I've done 3 training tours with SloBurn and paid close to 10K in the process. All was going well at 2 30 minute sessions weekly....until I recently got sick with the flu. I had paid in advance for each block of my sessions. As the sickness progressed past a Z-Pac, I got better for a day and relapsed. In spite of calls to SloBurn from me, and from my roommate (who I also referred there), this organization went into my bank account and withdrew money it was not owed. Remember I PAID IN FULL IN CASH AT COMMENCEMENT. When I called the receptionist literally laughed at my raspy voice and defended the unauthorized bank withdrawl, saying "well you canceled 3 times". Understanding she's a young person having just started the job, I asked to speak with, the owner, Fred Hahn. After waiting 5 hours for his call, I called SloBurn main number and left a detailed voice message specifically for Fred about the un-owed and unauthorized bank debit. He had not returned my call by 9am so I called back and left another call back request. To wit, he said I had to understand he was losing money because his trainer had to be paid for my absences even though I paid already in advance for my sessions. I informed him of my unhappiness with this attempted double charge (sickness tax!), and that on principle I wanted my bank account immediately refunded. He said I was no longer welcome at SloBurn studios and hung up on me. So beware those persons I have referred and those who have become customers for if you get sick and it lasts past the allotted timeframe Fred thinks you should have recovered within He will take carte blanche with your bank account....and never even wish you a speedy recovery.
