Every time I go to the gym I am excited to work out. I attribute this to my trainer Mike Martinez. He is always incredibly positive, and manages to make me work my hardest with a smile on my face! I joined Gold's and started training after one of my fellow skaters at the rink recommended it to me. When we first started training with Mike he took time out of his day to come to the rink and watch us practice and to research figure skating to better understand what our bodies had to do on the ice. He is incredibly dedicated to making us better athletes. After just a few weeks of training with him I noticed that my jumps were easier to land and my programs were easier to get through. Mike's dedication to his job and his clients is unparalleled.

I will never go to another gym again after starting at Gold's. I love it here. They offer to many classes and they are full of energy. The gym is really spacious. The protein shakes are delicious and everyone is always friendly when you walk in. The best part of the experience is the personal trainers that are offered. I train with Chris Lambros in Newburgh and I have never before worked with a more dedicated trainer!!! I love Golds and Lambros!

I joined Gold's Gym in June of 2014. I joined looking to not only better myself but my lifestyle as well. Since I have joined I have seen an amazing transformation in myself and I owe that to my personal trainer, Chris Lambros. I started working with Chris in June and I could not imagine my experience without him. He has already helped me achieve more than I ever thought I possibly could. Throughout our sessions he is always motivating, dedicated and training me to the best of his ability. His knowledge about nutrition is extremely helpful as well. He always makes sure to answer my questions and guide me to making the best decision possible. Chris keeps me motivated and wanting to go to the gym to keep making progress on my own. Since I have been working with Chris I have already seen such a major difference in myself. I cannot thank Chris enough.

The greatest thing about Gold's Gym Newburgh is my trainer Mike Martinez. He is extremely dependable, always on time, and forever pushes me to be my very best. Mike is always willing to go the extra mile not only for myself but also with my athletes with whom Mike also works. I rely on Mike's expert knowledge to enhance and help schedule the periodization of my athletes. Thanks to Mike's training plan, Nikolett Albrechtovics is the US Figure Skating's North Atlantic Champion, US Figure Skating's Eastern Juvenile Champion, and will be competing in the US National Championships in January 2015.

Michael Martinez has been my personal trainer on and off for about 2 years. In the beginning of my fitness journey I was seeing him twice a week every week for several months until my injury. My injury occurred outside of the fitness world. My sessions then stopped until the doctor felt I was ready and able to start working out again. During this time Mike was checking up on me and giving me advice and helping me to accelerate my recovery. He is a GREAT motivator and he was able to take me to my limits safely. Mike is very knowledgeable and has guided me with proper techniques and my form when performing exercises. Even when we weren’t training together and He would see me in the gym he would always offer helpful advice. He is creative and would always incorporate new functional exercises challenging the same set of muscles in new ways, to keep it interesting. He helped me get into THE BEST SHAPE OF MY LIFE. I had reached my peak physical fitness with his help and he was always constantly pushing me to meet and exceed my personal goals all while maintaining professionalism. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to train with Mike!!!!
