Getting here
From Garden City
to Carle Place
It's about 10 minutes north. Most people take Clinton Road up to Old Country Road, where it turns into Glen Cove Road, and come over to Westbury Ave in Carle Place.
The gym is the white brick building at 558 Westbury Ave with the red ATLAS STRENGTH windows. The fenced lot next to it is the outdoor turf.
High school athletes
Garden City High
and Chaminade athletes
Plenty of Garden City kids play for Garden City High or Chaminade. Either way, the off-season is where you get stronger, faster and harder to hurt. I coach athletes 1-on-1 or in a small group you bring, and I've trained local football and wrestling teams. Sports performance training →

Do you train Garden City High and Chaminade athletes?
Yes. I coach high school athletes from around the area year-round, 1-on-1 or in a small group you bring. In season we keep you strong and healthy, and the off-season is where the big gains happen.

No. Daytime 1-on-1 sessions are fully private: just you and your coach, nobody else in the gym. Evenings (7 to 9 pm) can have Hybrid Training and open gym members training too.
