Training in Fort Lee
Fort Lee sits atop the Palisades cliffs at the western end of the George Washington Bridge, offering dramatic views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline. The borough has evolved into a high-density residential community with luxury high-rise towers along the boulevard and older single-family neighborhoods inland. Its direct bridge access to Manhattan makes it popular with NYC commuters who want suburban living minutes from the city. Fort Lee's population of about 39,000 is notably international, with a significant Korean-American business district along Main Street and Lemoine Avenue.
Popular Training Venues
- Ross Dock Picnic Area (Palisades Interstate Park)
- Fort Lee Community Center
- Constitution Park
- Henry Hudson Drive trail
Fort Lee has a large Korean-American community alongside long-established Italian-American families and young NYC commuters. The high-rise population creates strong demand for in-building gym training and space-efficient home workout solutions. Many Fort Lee clients work in Manhattan and prefer early evening sessions between 6 and 7:30 PM after crossing back over the GWB, or weekend mornings.
Key Benefits
Equipment Selection Based on Training Value
Trevor recommends equipment based on what delivers the most programming versatility per dollar and per square foot. A quality rack, barbell set, adjustable dumbbells, and a few specialty items outperform a room full of single-purpose machines.
Layout Designed Around Movement Patterns
Gym layouts should support the way people actually move — pressing, pulling, squatting, hinging, carrying, and conditioning. Trevor designs floor plans that create clear training zones without wasted space or dangerous traffic patterns.
Budget-Conscious Planning
You do not need to spend $50,000 to build an effective training space. Trevor prioritizes equipment that delivers the highest return on investment and stages purchases so you can build out over time without overspending upfront.
Space Optimization for Any Footprint
From a 100-square-foot NYC apartment corner to a 3,000-square-foot corporate facility, Trevor maximizes every inch. Wall-mounted storage, foldable equipment, and smart zoning make even tight spaces functional for serious training.
Our Methodology
Trevor approaches gym design the same way he approaches training programming — by starting with the goals and working backward to the tools. The first step is understanding who will use the space and how. A home gym for a powerlifter looks very different from a corporate wellness room that needs to serve 50 employees with varying fitness levels. Equipment selection, layout, flooring, ventilation, and budget are all driven by the specific training needs of the users.
For home gyms, Trevor focuses on equipment versatility. A power rack with pull-up bar, an adjustable bench, a quality barbell and plate set, and a set of adjustable dumbbells can support 90% of effective training programs. From there, additions like a cable system, kettlebells, or a conditioning tool are layered in based on goals and budget. For corporate spaces, the calculus shifts toward accommodating multiple users simultaneously, minimizing supervision needs, and balancing free-weight and machine-based options for a mixed-experience user base.
Layout design follows training flow. Compound lifts need the most space and the best positioning. Accessory stations cluster nearby. Conditioning areas need clearance for movement. Storage is integrated so equipment returns to its place naturally. Trevor provides detailed floor plans with dimensions, equipment placement, and traffic flow — not just a shopping list.
How It Works
Space Assessment & Goals Consultation
Trevor reviews your available space (in person or via photos and measurements), discusses who will use the gym and how, and establishes budget parameters. For corporate projects, this includes user demographics and expected usage patterns.
Equipment Recommendation & Budget Plan
You receive a prioritized equipment list with specific product recommendations, pricing, and a phased purchasing plan if budget is a factor. Every item is chosen for training versatility and durability — not brand hype.
Floor Plan & Layout Design
Trevor provides a detailed layout showing equipment placement, training zones, traffic flow, and storage solutions. Dimensions, clearance requirements, and flooring recommendations are all included.
Implementation Support
