I have been going to Fitness 121 for almost 20 years, and highly recommend it for anyone irrespective of age or fitness level. Marc and his team are extremely knowledgeable and caring, and provide an environment that is clean, friendly, and supportive. They will help you reach your fitness goals and become the best version of yourself.

1-2-1 is a small, intimate, super clean gym where everyone knows everyone else. It’s a nurturing environment where workouts are tailored specifically to each persons needs and goals. It’s staffed by terrific trainers who all seem to have a broad range of experience. I switched to 1-2-1 in 2020 because I was nervous about returning to my large gym and I haven’t looked back since. My body hasn’t felt or looked this good in years! Highly recommend!!

For the past 3 years I have been training with Derek. After spending over a year training at home I finally decided it was time to start training again in a gym setting. Derek brought me to Fitness 1-2-1 in Ridgewood and it has been great! The clean, friendly atmosphere makes coming to work out very enjoyable. I was never a fan nor successful with big gyms. Fitness 1-2-1 offers personalized workouts that suit the needs of members of all ages. All of their trainers are very knowledgeable and truly invest themselves in all of their clients. If you are looking for an amazing workout and motivating and encouraging trainers, Fitness 1-2-1 is your place!

I have trained regularly with Derek Azcuy at Fitness 1-2-1 for 3+ years. The facility is small, but has everything you need to train effectively. It is always spotless and everyone respects each other’s space. People who train there are committed to their workout and the environment is very relaxed and fun. This place is not at all pretentious and I LOVE IT!!As a former physical therapist and pilates instructor, I know when a trainer knows his stuff or if he is just winging it. Derek is the real deal. He not only knows anatomy inside and out, he understands movement patterns and is incredibly talented at choosing the right exercises for each client’s needs. He is professional to the core - always on time (actually always early), stays focused on me and is always ready to make any adjustments that might be necessary based on any pain or restricted movement I might have. (I’m 48 so it’s par for the course). He remembers what we did the previous session and builds on those exercises. One of his greatest strengths is his ability to use verbal or tactile cues to help me perform the exercise properly. He is also tremendously creative and is constantly inventing amazing new exercises. Derek has an excellent sense of humor which makes our sessions fun and the time fly.I can’t recommend him and Fitness 1-2-1 highly enough.

Fitness 121 is great both on the physical therapy side, as well as the personal training side. Each member of our family of 4 uses Fitness 121 for training and/or physical therapy.

I’ve been going to Fitness 121 for 13 years. From day one, the experience has been great. The gym is well equipped, always clean, and provides everything that anyone of any age or fitness level may need to achieve their goals. Most importantly, the people (both the trainers and staff) are the best. They are extremely knowledgeable, and they truly care about their clients. If you’re looking for a great personal training experience, Fitness 121 is definitely the place to go.

We moved here in July 2017 and I'm so happy that I found Fitness 121. As a former college athlete, someone that thrives on strength training, and a big believer in personal training I'm very particular about the gym facility I attend and the trainers I work with. I have been training with Marc for over a year now and it has exceeded my expectations. His programming is dynamic and challenging - I always look forward to my training sessions. He has been in the business for a long time and uses his deep knowledge of fitness/health/wellness to fit your needs.Not to the mention the facility is spotless, has ample equipment, and provides a positive and friendly vibe. Whether you are starting your fitness journey, looking to maintain, or want to be pushed beyond your limits Fitness 121 is the place to be!

I have been training at Fitness 121 with Marc for over 4 years now and it’s had a real impact on my overall fitness and well being. The workouts are fun and different each time which really helps to motivate me to show up. The facility is spotless and the amenities are perfect for early morning workouts. Most of all Marc and the overall staff really care for each persons health and will tailor workouts around any injuries. You just can’t get that level of attention with big group classes. I highly recommend this facility for people across all fitness levels.

When I started training with Marc, I was about 8 months postpartum. I just couldn't seem to get back to the groove of working out like before on my own. I felt weak, uncoordinated and lacked the motivation I needed to get through my workout. The process of coming back and building back up was a lot harder than than I expected. I knew Marc from my boyfriend and he suggested I workout with him to give me that push I needed. He was not kidding. I've now been training with Marc for 6 months and he always makes working out challenging but yet rewarding. Marc has taught me proper form, proper technique, switches workout every session (so it's not the same boring routine) and most importantly helps motivate me like no one else. I can safely say, I'll be strutting my two piece bathing suit mom bod at the beach now all thanks to Marc.

I’ve been working out with the trainers at Fitness 121 for 4 years and plan to continue for as long as they’ll have me. The trainers are knowledgeable and motivating, it’s a really pleasant place to work out. Don’t be fooled though, you need to be prepared to work hard and step out of your comfort zone! It doesn’t matter where you are in your fitness journey, the team at 121 will help you build muscle, stability, speed... this place really is for everyone.
