Training in Ridgewood

Ridgewood is one of Bergen County's most desirable villages, known for its charming downtown, top-ranked school system, and tree-lined residential streets with stately homes. The village center along Ridgewood Avenue features independent shops and restaurants that create a small-town feel just 20 miles from Manhattan. Graydon Pool, the Stable, and numerous pocket parks provide outdoor recreation space throughout the community. Ridgewood has a population of about 25,000, with NJ Transit rail service providing a 45-minute commute to Hoboken Terminal and connections to Midtown.

Ridgewood draws affluent commuter families with two working parents and active children in competitive sports. Clients here often want programs that address the physical toll of desk jobs, help them keep up with their kids, and build long-term health for an active retirement. Most Ridgewood clients are 35 to 55 and prefer early morning sessions at 6 AM before catching the train, or mid-morning after drop-off.

Key Benefits

Train Anywhere, Anytime

Your program lives in a mobile app accessible from any gym, home setup, or hotel fitness center. No schedule coordination required — you train when it works for you and log your results afterward.

Video Form Reviews for Technical Accuracy

Record key lifts and submit them through the app. Trevor reviews your footage and provides detailed form corrections — addressing bar path, joint angles, tempo, and bracing — so your technique improves even without in-person cueing.

Programming That Adapts to Your Equipment

Whether you train at a fully equipped commercial gym, a bare-bones home setup, or a hotel with only dumbbells and a bench, Trevor writes programs that maximize the equipment available to you.

Lower Cost Than In-Person Training

Without the overhead of in-person session time, online coaching delivers high-quality individualized programming at a significantly lower price point — making expert guidance accessible on a broader range of budgets.

Weekly Accountability and Communication

Regular check-ins via messaging keep you accountable and allow Trevor to address questions, adjust programming, and provide the coaching support that separates online training from working out alone.

Our Methodology

Trevor uses a periodized programming approach for online clients identical to what he builds for in-person clients — the only difference is the delivery format. Programs are written in four- to six-week blocks with clear progression targets, and every exercise includes video demonstrations so you know exactly what each movement should look like. The training app tracks your loads, reps, and RPE (rate of perceived exertion) across sessions, giving Trevor the data he needs to make informed programming adjustments.

Form review is the backbone of the remote coaching process. Trevor asks online clients to film one to two key lifts per week — typically the primary compound movement of the day — and submit the footage through the app. He responds with timestamped video or written feedback addressing specific technique points. This iterative process produces meaningful technique improvements over weeks, even without in-person hands-on coaching. NASM-certified trainer Trevor Cassidy applies the same periodized programming principles used for in-person clients — and periodized programs produce 36% greater strength gains than non-periodized approaches (Rhea & Alderman, Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research), regardless of the delivery format.

How It Works

1

Online Intake & Video Assessment

You complete a detailed questionnaire covering training history, goals, available equipment, schedule, and injury history. Trevor may also request video of key movements to assess your current technique and mobility.

2

Custom Program Delivery via Training App

Your individualized program is loaded into the coaching app with exercise videos, set and rep targets, tempo prescriptions, and rest periods. Trevor walks you through the program via video message or call to ensure you understand the structure and goals.

3

Weekly Training, Logging, and Form Submissions

You train on your schedule, log every session in the app, and submit video of key lifts for form review. Trevor monitors your logs and provides technique feedback within 24 hours.

4

Weekly Check-In and Programming Adjustments

Each week, Trevor reviews your training data, bodyweight trends, and subjective feedback. Programming adjustments — load changes, exercise swaps, volume modifications — are made based on your progress and recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is online training different from buying a workout plan?
Online training is a coaching relationship, not a static document. Your program adapts every week based on logged performance data, video form reviews provide real technique corrections, and weekly check-ins keep you accountable. Supervised training — even remotely — produces 40% greater strength gains compared to unsupervised training (<a href="https://journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research</a>). A PDF workout never adjusts to your progress; Trevor's coaching does.
What app do you use for online coaching?
Trevor uses a professional coaching platform where you can view your program, log workouts, submit form videos, track progress metrics, and message your coach — all in one place. The app makes it easy to record and submit lifts for form review, which is the backbone of remote coaching. You will receive setup instructions during onboarding.
Can I combine online and in-person sessions?
Yes, and a hybrid model is one of the most effective setups. Many clients in the NYC and Northern NJ area train in person one or two days per week for technique-intensive work and complete the remaining sessions independently through the online program. This gives you hands-on coaching where it matters most while keeping costs manageable.
What equipment do I need for online training?
Any setup works — Trevor designs programs around your available equipment. A commercial gym gives the most exercise options, but effective programs can be built with as little as adjustable dumbbells and a bench. During your intake, you detail exactly what you have, and the programming is built to maximize those tools.
Do you work with student athletes in Ridgewood?
Yes, I currently train several Ridgewood High School athletes across 6 different sports. RHS has competitive varsity programs, and I focus on speed, agility, strength, and sport-specific conditioning during off-seasons and pre-seasons. Most student athletes start seeing performance gains within 6 to 8 weeks.
