Training in Greenwich Village

Greenwich Village is the bohemian heart of downtown Manhattan, centered around Washington Square Park and the winding, tree-shaded streets south of 14th Street. The neighborhood is home to NYU's campus, independent bookshops, jazz clubs, and some of the city's best restaurants. Its compact, walkable layout and abundant green spaces make it ideal for outdoor personal training sessions. The Village also sits within a 10-minute walk of the Hudson River Park greenway, adding 4 miles of waterfront running and training space to the neighborhood's fitness options.

Training Options

  • Washington Square Park
  • Hudson River Park (Pier 45-46)
  • NYC Health & Racquet Club Village
  • Lighthouse Guild Fitness Center

Greenwich Village has a diverse mix of graduate students, university faculty, creative professionals, and long-time residents. Clients here value holistic wellness approaches and often combine personal training with yoga, meditation, or other recovery practices. Many Village clients prefer midday or early-afternoon sessions that fit around teaching schedules, writing deadlines, or freelance project cycles.

Key Benefits

A Plan That Fits Your Lifestyle

Trevor Cassidy 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 Cassidy helps you consistently hit your protein targets in ways that are practical and enjoyable.

Education and Empowerment That Last Beyond Coaching

Trevor Cassidy 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 Cassidy 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.

Training Method

Trevor Cassidy uses a hierarchy-of-importance approach to nutrition coaching: total energy intake, protein intake, food quality, and meal timing. This keeps attention on the habits most relevant to the client's goal without overemphasizing supplements or minor details.

Depending on the client's preference, Trevor Cassidy offers a macro-tracking approach for those who like data and a habit-based approach for those who prefer simpler guidelines. The best method is the one the client can follow consistently. Check-ins allow Trevor Cassidy to assess adherence, review progress, and adjust the plan as circumstances change.

How It Works

1

Nutrition Assessment & Food Diary Review

Trevor Cassidy 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 Cassidy 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 Cassidy 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 Cassidy 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 Cassidy 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 Cassidy 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 Cassidy 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 Cassidy will choose the approach that fits your personality and daily routine.
Can we do training sessions in Washington Square Park?
Yes, Washington Square Park is one of my favorite outdoor training locations in the city. The open lawn areas on the north and east sides of the park give us roughly half an acre of usable space for bodyweight circuits, agility drills, and strength work with portable equipment. Early morning sessions before 8 AM are best for avoiding crowds.
Do you work with NYU students or faculty?
I do — I've trained several NYU graduate students and professors since starting in the area. Flexible booking accommodates semester cycles, research deadlines, and the unpredictable hours that come with academic life. NYU affiliates often train at Washington Square Park between classes.
