Catjay Fitness

If you’re looking for someone to really help you work out correctly and transform your body you’ve gotta try Armando’s training with Catjay fitness! I’ve been training with him for 6 months now and his motivating, heathy and personalized weight training régime always leaves me sore (in a good way) and wanting to come back! I’ve noticed so much progress in my time with him and would highly recommend to anyone from new to working out to experienced athlete.

I had a fantastic experience training with Armando! He is patient and supportive. He will guide you through the various workouts and I saw the difference after 4 weeks. I enjoyed these individual sessions and I recommend them without any hesitation.
Thanks Armando

Armando gives amazing instruction, he really knows his stuff. He expertly gives advice about form and technique as well as how to prevent and deal with injuries. He is great at tailoring a workout to ones goals and reassuring you of what your doing right in the gym and on your fitness journey. Overall Armando is a great motivator and an experienced professional who knows how to motivate you to keep working to your full potential.

I wish that Unilocal would let me give Armando an infinite amount of stars because that’s how much I love working out with him. I came to Armando just over a month ago in desperate need of some fitness guidance. From the moment we met, he put me at ease and assured me he could work with my limitations (torn shoulder, lack of strength after ankle surgery) and that we could make progress and achieve my goals (lose weight, get in better shape). Armando is patient, kind, and incredibly positive. He’s also a tough trainer who isn’t afraid to help you work harder and better. After every single session, I feel fantastic and can’t wait to go back. It may sound corny, but he’s helping me change my life and feel better about who I am and what I can achieve. He’s truly a great guy and an excellent trainer!

Armando is a true mentor and friend, he is dependable and always fully engaged to your needs. I would highly recommend !!!

I had a fantastic experience training with Armando! He does a great job of guiding you through the various workouts, with an emphasis on form and building towards a goal. I could see an impact after 4 weeks and now have more confidence about training with weights on my own.

This is my first time working with a personal trainer and I was not disappointed! Armando is very knowledgeable and really knows his stuff. He is all about form & technique and pushing you to improve. He’s definitely very motivating and knows which exercises to build your strength. After a few sessions, I can definitely see a difference in my body. He will cater your sessions to your individual needs. After 6 sessions, I already signed up to buy 10 more.

I’m not really a gym person and I’ve always found the weight machines to be rather intimidating. That’s why I really like training with Armando. Its not intimidating no matter how little you know about weights. The sessions are one on one in his own private mini-​gym where there is no one around and no distractions. During the one hour session, all his attention is always focused on you. He is super patient, taking time to explain each step, why you’re doing it and correcting any mistake you make along the way. He also gives you feedback on how you’re doing and give you achievable goals to work towards. I’ve been training with Armando for about a month now and I am surprised by how quickly I’ve been able to increase my strength. He changes up each session so you get to work on different muscles each time. Even though I may feel a little sore the next day, overall I definitely feel a lot more energized than before. Armando is really flexible with scheduling and very reasonably priced. I definitely recommend him for anyone who wants to get healthier, stronger and more energized.

I have been working out with Armando for about a year. Over this time, I have improved my technique, strength and endurance. I love that the sessions are completely private. He is very knowledgeable. He also keeps track of your progress and sets you up with a plan. He is also very flexible.

Armando is really friendly! I am super self conscious, and easily discouraged about working out in front of people I don’t know. He was a terrific coach, and conversationalist, and also incredibly positive about my workout goals. Do not be put off by working out in his basement, he has suitable machinery to fit all fitness levels. Will be going back when I can afford to do so.

I was looking into losing weight, I hadn’t been to a gym or any workout in years. We sat down discuss my goals, went over my weight and what I wanted my target to be. I paid for 6 session. After the first session I knew I made the right choice. He is a genuine life Coach and caring person who check up on me periodically to make sure I was still achieving goals within 3 weeks there was a noticeable difference. Mind you it’s an hour with high intensity action from start to finish. Doesn’t matter your goal he will get you the results you desire. Armando is that Guy!!!

I had an incredible experience with Armando at Catjay Fitness. I had never power lifted before and was intimidated by weight training, but Armando was so supportive and encouraging that I quickly found myself looking forward to our sessions and seeing results. Armando has a ton of experience in fitness, and his background teaching gym to high school students has prepared him well for working with clients of all levels with enthusiasm and patience. I felt that Armando pushed me physically in a safe way, and was genuinely excited when I made progress. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personal trainer.

Working out with Armando has been a great experience. I’ve only been through 5 sessions and I can def. feel and see the difference. His equipment provides all the essentials for a total workout. I’ve worked with trainers at larger gyms but how can you beat having a gym all to yourself to focus on your own fitness goals? I bought my initial session through Groupon and will def. continue on beyond that. His gym is also amazingly convenient for anyone living in Park Slope, Gowanus, Cobble Hill area.

Armando is highly knowledgable. He offers the perfect combination for a total body workout. This is as private training as it gets. It’s one on one, literally. No noise, no music. He has tons of information on form and avoiding getting hurt. He embodies what a trainer should offer. He is super organized and documents your progress, which is a real bonus and extra helpful in measuring results. His equipment is for maximum efficiency, it’s always clean and organized in the work out space. He is friendly and greets you at the door every time. You will receive a ton of guidance and support A+++
The one con is that there is no easy bathroom access, so plan ahead.

Armando is a great trainer, very professional and motivating. He knows his stuff and knows what he is talking about. For him safety comes first and never tells you to do something if he does not believe you could do it! He comes up with different work outs that give you excellent results. He always listen to his clients. He is definetelly a trainer you should try!

I just completed a 10 training session package with Armando and he is awesome! Very professional, great motivator and very attentive. Makes sure that you are doing every movement correctly so that you don’t injure yourself and changes up your routine so you get a new challenge each session. I absolutely feel stronger and the back/​neck pain that I used to experience frequently has vanished since working with him.
I don’t like the gym environment but this is a nice private space with everything you need for a great workout. No distractions from loud music or crowds. Very easy to focus on your workout and communicate with your trainer. I’ll definitely book another package with Catjay Fitness, either for myself or with my husband. Thanks Armando!

Armando is the best personal trainer I have ever worked with. He is very knowledgable and implements warm-​up, speedwork, strength training, and conditioning into the workouts. He clearly cares about clients’ goals and works carefully to come up with individualized training to make effective progress. His enthusiasm and encouragement are key. Training here is also extremely affordable. I’ve already recommended Catjay Fitness to friends and family.
