Excellent Trainer I have known Elissa for seven years, and have worked out with her for 3.5 years. Along with a change in my diet, Elissa has helped me lose 114lbs! She designed each and every session according to my fitness level, and troubled areas! Over the past few years, she has been very supportive through my transformation, I still can't believe how "sculpted" I am!!! I highly recommend working out wit...

Great Trainer! I had an evening gown to get into and I'd heard through friends that Elissa is the best. After looking on Citysearch at all her great reviews, I was sold. She's thorough, attentive and created a workout just for me. At the end of 3 mths I was able to get into my gown and have kept the weight off ever since. Elissa is the best!

Elissa. Read More On CitysearchS0200 11/1/2009
Best Gym on the UES I have been working out with Elissa for over two years and I can not say enough great things about her. Elissa's gym is spotless and private. She customizes routines based on her client's needs and I do not think I have done the same routine twice. Elissa keeps me motivated to stay healthy! Read More On Citysearchariez164 10/30/2009
Building is awful Never worked out here but if the basement is as full of cahckroeches (this review won't let me spell the actual word) as my apartment is, I can't imagine anyone would want to workout here.
In fact, I have been working out for 15 years, and I'm scared of the basement where the gym is.

Best Training Diva on the UES! I've been training with Elissa for the about 5 months now. The reason I had started was so that I could tone up for my wedding. She toned me up and now after my wedding I have continued her routines and have continued our sessions. Elissa has structured routines which changed each session and are fun as well as challenging. I saw results a week after beginning and keep seeing my body change afte... Read More On CitysearchStephanieGbride2be 1/20/2008

long time member I have been a member of the gym since it opened. And, I have been a personal training client of the owner, Elissa, for several years. The gym consists of several rooms so that training and work-out sessions are not crowded. There is seldom a wait for equipment, mainly because Elissa and the other trainers coordinate schedules. The other trainers and members are friendly, considerate, and seriou... Read More On Citysearchmcl3 8/29/2005
User review by soon Elissa is one of the best, most knowledgeable and professional trainers I have come into
contact with during my years of exercising. No wonder, Elissa has a masters in applied
physiology from Columbia University. Elissa has a great smile and is in amazing shape, she certainly practices what she preaches. Elissa is truly an inspiration.
Because Elissa is so warm and friendly, I always look f... Read More On Citysearchsoon 8/27/2005
as a trainer... I am a successful personal trainer and was so fortunate to have stumbled into Elissa's gym 3 years ago! she doesn't actually have 'staff'- she is a one woman show!! I have found Elissa's to be a wonderful place to train my clients for many reasons- not the least of which is that we are all working for each other in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. I love being a 'partner' of sorts. I love t... Read More On Citysearchbenefitmir 12/29/2004
Can't quit this place! First let me start by saying that I am not a staff member!! I have been a member of Elissa's Personal Best since 2002 and find it down to earth no frills for those who are SERIOUS about a good workout or personal training session. I receive compliments all the time for being fit and I owe it all to Elissa personally because she has been my personal trainer for the past 2 years and a great inspira...

Good Gym, Good Price Elissa's gym is a clean, modern exercise room at a very reasonable price. It is this combination of size and price that drew me to it and that is what keeps me a member after six months. The equipment is top notch and there are few members to compete with. I have never gone this long with a club and that says it all. Read More On Citysearchshirleygirl 8/19/2002

Best Little Gym in Town Ellissa's is a gym with an intimate setting. It is stocked with all the modern equipment you would want. Since one-on-one training is the main focus, hours are reserved. However, for a general monthly user like myself, I have never experienced any problems with using the facility at any time and accessing any of the equipment. Matteroffact, much of the time, I am there with only a couple others m... Read More On Citysearchtemp1965 8/15/2002
