Sound familiar?

This is for you if…

Most diets fail because they're built for a week, not a life. This is built to last.

Why Atlas

Why Atlas fits
weight loss

Losing weight and keeping it off takes more than cardio. Here is how training at Atlas helps it stick.

Strength first

Lifting keeps your muscle while you lose fat, so you look and feel better and keep your metabolism up.

Nutrition that fits your life

Simple, realistic eating changes built around your schedule and the food you like. No crash diets.

Someone keeping you on track

Set sessions, a coach who notices when you miss and progress you can see in the app.

Your first month

  1. First visit

    We talk about your goals, your eating and your schedule, look at how you move and set your starting point.

  2. Weeks 1–4

    Two to three sessions a week and a few simple nutrition changes. Nothing extreme, just habits you can keep.

  3. Month 2 and beyond

    Steady progress you can see. The plan gets adjusted based on what is working for you.

Your coach

Patrick Rice

I coach every session myself and coach every client's training and nutrition around the person in front of me: your schedule, your food preferences, your starting point.

My approach is simple. Build strength, eat in a way you can keep up, and the results last.

Questions

FAQ

Anything else? Call or text (516) 524-3420.

Not local? Can I train with you online?

Yes. With online personal training, you get a program written by me in the Atlas Strength app, video form review, weekly check-ins and messaging, wherever you train. Learn about online personal training →

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.

Is strength training better than cardio for weight loss?

Strength training builds and keeps muscle, which shapes your body and helps you keep the weight off. Paired with good nutrition, it's one of the most effective ways to change your body composition. Cardio can still be part of the plan.

Do I have to follow a strict diet?

No. We build your nutrition around real food, your preferences and your schedule, then check in and adjust together. The best plan is the one you can stick to.

I have a lot of weight to lose. Is it safe to start lifting?

Yes. Every exercise is scaled to where you are today. One of my clients started 70 pounds overweight, lost over 60 and now lifts over 400 pounds.

How fast will I lose weight?

It depends on where you start, how consistent you are and how your body responds. The goal is steady loss you keep, not fast loss you regain.

Can I get nutrition coaching without personal training?

Yes. Nutrition coaching is available on its own. See nutrition coaching, or call or text (516) 524-3420 and we'll talk about what fits you best.

Do I need any experience?

No. Every movement is taught step by step and every rep is coached.
