Training in Chelsea

Chelsea occupies Manhattan's west side roughly between 14th and 34th Streets, anchored by the High Line elevated park, the Chelsea Market, and the sprawling Chelsea Piers sports complex on the Hudson River. The neighborhood blends a thriving art gallery scene with modern luxury residential towers and classic brownstones. Chelsea Piers alone offers world-class training facilities, making this one of the most fitness-friendly neighborhoods in all of New York. Google's New York headquarters on 8th Avenue and a cluster of tech and media offices have brought a younger professional population to the neighborhood in recent years.

Popular Training Venues

  • Chelsea Piers Fitness
  • The High Line (outdoor circuits)
  • Hudson River Park (Chelsea section)
  • Barry's Chelsea

Chelsea attracts young professionals in tech, media, and fashion along with established residents who have lived in the neighborhood for decades. The area has a strong fitness culture, and many clients here are already gym-experienced and looking for expert guidance to break through plateaus. Chelsea clients skew ages 28 to 45 and often prefer evening sessions between 6 and 8 PM or Saturday mornings after a weekday of office work.

Key Benefits

A Plan That Fits Your Lifestyle

Trevor builds nutrition strategies around your real life — business dinners, travel weeks, family meals, food preferences. You will never be told to eat boiled chicken and broccoli six times a day.

Protein-Optimized Eating for Body Composition

Adequate protein intake is the single most impactful nutrition variable for both fat loss and muscle gain. Trevor helps you consistently hit your protein targets in ways that are practical and enjoyable.

Education and Empowerment That Last Beyond Coaching

Trevor teaches you to understand what is best for your body — reading nutrition labels, estimating portion sizes, building balanced meals, and making informed food choices independently. The goal is to help you lead a healthy lifestyle on your own, not to create dependency on a coach.

Strategic Flexibility Without Guilt

Trevor teaches you how to incorporate meals out, social events, and your favorite foods into your plan without guilt or "falling off the wagon." Sustainable nutrition includes the foods you enjoy — it just manages the context and frequency.

Our Methodology

Trevor uses a hierarchy-of-importance approach to nutrition coaching: total caloric intake first, protein intake second, food quality third, and meal timing fourth. This order reflects the research on what actually drives body composition outcomes. Most clients see significant results just by addressing the first two levels — eating an appropriate amount of food and getting enough protein — without obsessing over supplements, superfoods, or nutrient timing.

Depending on the client's preference and personality, Trevor offers two frameworks: a macro-tracking approach for those who like data and precision, and a habit-based approach for those who prefer simpler guidelines. Both are effective; the best method is the one you will actually follow. As NASM-certified trainer Trevor Cassidy explains: "Nutrition does not need to be complicated — it needs to be consistent. Most clients get 80% of their results from nailing calories and protein." Check-ins every one to two weeks allow Trevor to assess adherence, review progress, and make adjustments as your body adapts.

How It Works

1

Nutrition Assessment & Food Diary Review

Trevor reviews a three- to seven-day food diary to understand your current eating patterns, caloric intake, protein consumption, and areas of opportunity. You also discuss food preferences, allergies, cooking habits, and lifestyle factors.

2

Calorie and Macro Target Calculation

Based on your body composition, activity level, and goals, Trevor calculates appropriate caloric and macronutrient targets. These numbers are starting points — they will be refined based on how your body responds over the first two to four weeks.

3

Nutrition Framework Delivery

You receive a practical nutrition framework — either macro-based or habit-based — with specific guidelines, sample meal ideas, restaurant strategies, and a clear explanation of the rationale behind each recommendation.

4

Biweekly Check-Ins & Plan Adjustments

Every two weeks, Trevor reviews your food logs, weight trends, energy levels, and training performance. Caloric targets, macro ratios, or meal strategies are adjusted based on objective data and your subjective experience.

5

Ongoing Education & Habit Building

Over time, Trevor introduces new nutrition skills — meal prepping, label reading, dining-out strategies, travel nutrition — building your competence so you can eventually manage your nutrition independently with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide specific meal plans?
No rigid meal plans — those tend to fail within weeks because they do not account for real life. Instead, Trevor provides flexible nutrition frameworks with caloric and macro targets, practical guidelines, and meal ideas. This approach lets you make smart food choices in any situation — restaurants, travel, family dinners — rather than relying on a plan you will abandon when life gets unpredictable.
Can nutrition counseling help if I have dietary restrictions?
Yes, dietary restrictions are fully supported. Trevor has experience coaching clients who follow vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and other dietary approaches. Your nutrition framework is built around what you can and will eat — never around foods you need to avoid. Hitting adequate protein targets (typically 0.8-1g per pound of bodyweight) is achievable on any dietary pattern with the right strategy.
Do I need to track my food in an app?
No, tracking is optional. Apps like MyFitnessPal work well for data-driven clients, but Trevor also offers a habit-based method using portion estimation and simple guidelines instead of detailed logging. Research on nutrition adherence shows that the best method is the one you can maintain consistently, so you and Trevor will choose the approach that fits your personality and daily routine.
Do you train clients at Chelsea Piers?
Yes, Chelsea Piers is one of my top training venues in Manhattan. The 80,000-square-foot fitness center includes a full gym, indoor track, rock climbing wall, and sports courts. If you have a membership there, we can use it as our primary training location for a wide variety of session types.
Can we use the High Line for outdoor training?
The High Line is best for walking consultations and light mobility sessions — its 10-foot-wide paths are too narrow for intense training. For outdoor strength and conditioning in Chelsea, I use the Hudson River Park greenway between Piers 62 and 64, which has open spaces ideal for circuit training and is just a 5-minute walk from most Chelsea addresses.
