Questions
FAQ
The things people ask before they book a call.
General
Where are your gyms located?
The Fort has three locations: Flatiron (three training rooms on 21st Street between 5th and 6th), the Upper East Side (67th and 3rd) and Williamsburg (North 11th Street).
What are your gym hours?
We are open seven days a week. On weekdays we offer sessions from 5:30 AM through 9 PM. On weekends we offer sessions from 8:30 AM through 1:30 PM. Hours may differ slightly by location.
Do you offer open gym memberships?
Our facilities are limited to members who are enrolled in scheduled training sessions, so we do not offer open gym hours.
Do you rent out your space to independent personal trainers?
We do not.
Is the training scary, intimidating or abusive?
In short, no. The Fort is a supportive place filled with a community of members and coaches whose goal is to make meaningful training available to everyone. We take the training seriously and it isn’t “easy” by any means, but we start every client at an appropriate level and make them feel welcome in the process. You will not find a nicer group of people.
Pricing
Is the trial free?
No. The trial is $390 for six coached sessions, and the price is indicative of our membership pricing. We go through it on the intro call, and nothing is charged until you decide to start.
What does membership cost after the trial?
Membership prices vary with how many times a week you train and how long a commitment you make. Most members train two or three times a week and spend about $560 a month, which works out near $65 a coached session. We review the options with you on the introductory call.
What is the length of the commitment?
We offer programs that vary in commitment from the six-session trial to 16 weeks. While many people train with us for years, our goal is not to lock you into a long-term commitment.
