Client results
In their words
What clients say about training at Atlas Strength.

“The best place to go for serious training the owner Patrick is the man to see for solid programs or personal training from people getting in shape, to competitive strongmen/powerlifters…”
“When I first started at Atlas Strength six years ago, I was looking to simply get stronger, but I found so much more than a gym—I found a family and an unparalleled level of coaching.”
Questions
FAQ
Anything else? Call or text (516) 524-3420.
How much does training cost?
It depends on how often you train and which option you choose. Semi-private training with a friend, the Hybrid Training Program and online coaching all cost less than 1-on-1. I'll go over exact pricing at your meeting, with no pressure and no contracts.
Will other people be in the gym during my session?
Daytime 1-on-1 sessions are private: just you and your coach. Evenings (7 to 9 pm) can have Hybrid Training and open gym members training too.
When should football players train?
All year. The off-season is for building strength, size and speed. In-season training is shorter and keeps players strong through the last game.
Is lifting safe for high school players?
Yes, when it's properly coached. Technique always comes before heavy weight.
Will this help my player put on size?
Yes. Strength training plus nutrition coaching helps players add muscle that carries over to the field.
Do you train whole teams?
Yes. I work with high school teams and small groups as well as 1-on-1. Coaches and parents can reach out to set up a session.
Do you teach football skills?
No. I handle strength, speed, conditioning and nutrition. Football technique stays with their coaches.
What about injuries?
Neck, shoulder and hamstring work is built in to help players stay healthy. If a player is coming back from an injury, we start once they're cleared.
