Walkup apartments, independent restaurants, and a thriving nightlife scene coexist with community gardens and Tompkins Square Park. The neighborhood's energetic atmosphere extends to its fitness culture, with a strong preference for unconventional, no-frills training.

Key Benefits
Expert Programming Without In-Person Session Costs
You get the same quality periodized programming that in-person clients receive — without paying for coached sessions. This makes expert guidance accessible for experienced trainees who do not need hands-on coaching.
Break Through Plateaus With Structured Periodization
Random workouts produce random results. Structured programming with planned volume, intensity, and exercise progressions breaks through the plateaus that stall self-programmed trainees.
Programming Matched to Your Equipment
Every exercise is selected based on what you actually have access to. Barbell-heavy commercial gym, dumbbell-only home setup, or a mix of both — the program maximizes your available tools.
Planned Recovery That Prevents Burnout
Deload weeks, autoregulated intensity targets, and intelligent volume management ensure you recover adequately between hard training phases. No more grinding yourself into the ground until you get injured or lose motivation.
Our Methodology
Trevor designs individualized programs using evidence-based periodization models that account for both strength development and movement quality. Most clients receive either a linear periodization block (beginners and early intermediates) or an undulating periodization structure (intermediates and advanced trainees) organized into four- to six-week mesocycles. Each mesocycle has a specific training emphasis — hypertrophy, strength, power, or metabolic conditioning — that feeds into the next phase logically. Programming also accounts for movement limitations: if a client has restricted hip mobility or a shoulder issue, exercises are selected or modified to work around those constraints while still driving progress.
Exercise selection follows a needs-based hierarchy. Primary compound movements are chosen first to address the client's main goals. Accessory work fills in weak points and addresses muscular balance. Every exercise has a clear reason for being in the program, every progression from week to week is planned in advance, and every exercise includes a video demonstration so you know exactly what each movement should look like. Clients receive their programs as detailed spreadsheets or through a training app. As NASM-certified trainer Trevor Cassidy explains: "Most people do not lack motivation — they lack a plan that progresses intelligently. A good program tells you exactly what to do, when to push, and when to back off — and it adapts when life throws you a curveball."
How It Works
Detailed Training Questionnaire
You complete a comprehensive intake form covering your training history, current lifts, goals, available equipment, training schedule, and any injuries or limitations. This gives Trevor the information needed to build a program that fits your situation precisely.
Custom Program Delivery
Within one week, you receive your individualized multi-week training program via spreadsheet or coaching app, complete with exercises, sets, reps, tempo, rest periods, RPE targets, and video links for any movement you may not know.
Independent Execution & Logging
You execute the program on your own schedule, logging your performance data. Trevor is available via messaging for questions about exercise execution, load selection, or program adjustments during the training block.
Program Review & Next Phase Design
At the end of each mesocycle, Trevor reviews your logged performance data and writes the next training phase. Progression decisions — volume increases, exercise rotations, intensity adjustments — are all based on how you responded to the previous block.
