SlowBurn Personal Training. Just 30 Minutes a Week. Exercise For Smart People. Just Like You!
SlowBurn 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.

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!
Your added strength also will allow you to enjoy and perform your beloved activities, whatever they may be, for longer, with greater ease and with less chance of injury. 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 2-3 days, 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 doesn't make you fit or healthy. Your body becomes healthier and fitter if the exercise is adequate and if rest and recovery is allowed for. So not only do you not need to exercise on your days off, you shouldn't! Quality, not quantity, is where it's at.
Maximum Fat Loss
Fat loss, not necessarily weight loss, is what you really want. Fat loss is different from weight loss alone. Weight loss is not really what you want 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.
Every session at SlowBurn leaves you with a feeling of accomplishment. Fred and his staff are conscientious and supportive. My last bone density test showed a stable result after 3 years.. not a small feat for a 75 year old. I am glad my daughter introduced me to this personal training. I highly recommend SlowBurn

I have been going to slow burn for years and truly believe it is one of the very best workouts available. It is one of the safest and effective means to build lean muscle while protecting your joints . I have referred many patients and always get rave reviews . The bonus is the 20 minutes twice a week is perfect for my schedule.

I've been doing super-slow HIT (High Intensity Training) for the past 20 years and at 60 I am injury-free, stronger and leaner than when I was 30. I had read Fred Hahn's book, and on a recent trip to NYC booked in for a workout. I thought I was an expert but Fred and his team take training to a higher level, with equipment even upgraded to better match the human strength curve and loads of nuances in the way they program clients. I really felt the difference and especially confident that I was in good hands. Finally, it's obvious that they go the extra mile in integrating effective nutritional advice with great training advice = better results with less time in the gym. It's also small which I like, as you get the attention you need and feel at home. This is not the gym for those wanting to go do their own thing. Fred would not allow that. It's for people who want a great training outcome from cutting edge training delivered by trainers who understand quality training.
