HAROLD PALACIOS

Awesome spin class and AMAZING instructor Harold Palacios!!!! Always so energetic and inspiring! I have been attending Harold's Tuesday 7:30pm class relidiously, all his playlists and music selections are hot, hot, hot and really get you in the zone!!! So Excited to start attending his new 11am class on Sunday's as well!

Harold is an amazing trainer. I looked to him to guide me in my journey to enter into my first bikini competition. He knew exactly how to push me to challenge myself so I can see results in a way that avoided injury to my preexisting back and sciatic issues. His approach was tough yet strategic to help strengthen the areas that needed focus first so injury could be prevented. Every phase of my training built on the other to get my body ready for the competition. He not only worked on the physical aspect, but also helped boost my confidence to join the competition and walk on that stage. Having him on my team helped me place 4th in all the categories I competed in.

I just want to say that I went to Harold's class at 6am and it was the best 45 minutes of my day! Great workout and great music to boot!

It hasn't even been a month of taking Harold's spin classes & I'm already expanding to personal training sessions with him. His classes are motivating and effective, with no gimmicks. An experienced approach to drive results! Harold is an asset to Spin FH and I am grateful to have found him. He is knowledgeable, professional, and personally invested in my success. I feel the changes and can't wait to see how much I can achieve.

This class was no joke! I'm not used to a rhythm styled ride and I struggled hard but it was definitely worth it. Will definitely be back!

When you work out consistently for over a year, kill yourself every chance you get, that hard work pays off. I may not be exactly where I want to be, but like I said, consistency is everything. 235lbs to 193lbs as of today, it's only the beginning. Huge to the best trainer @haroldtrainerkp and friend for keeping me going, heres to the everlasting journey.

Harold was my trainer during my pregnancy. He made sure I still challenged myself in the safest way possible. His workout routines were geared to helping alleviate my sciatic and back pain that were enhanced due to the changes that happen during pregnancy. The stretching at the end were crucial to alleviating my pregnancy pains. His knowledge and expertise brought me comfort because I knew I was in good hands as I worked out during each stage in my pregnancy. Now postpartum, I have been going back to see him to regain my strength. We are moving at the perfect pace even though I want go quicker. He reminds me that consistency is key. If you are looking for a trainer who understands that one size does not fit all, and personalizes things for you, he is your man.

I have been training with Harold for almost a year. I can honestly say that he’s changed how I look at fitness and myself. While I have been moderately active, working with Harold has taken my confidence in my abilities to a level that I never thought possible. I used to be intimidated to work with weights, but now I look forward to the challenge. Even on days that I am doubting myself, Harold’s positive and caring attitude always makes me want to try harder. In addition to working with weights, I have absolutely found a new passion for cycling! I tried it once a few years ago and I didn’t like it, but Harold has an awesome style of cycling that I really enjoy. It is challenging (mentally and physically) and fun at the same time. I truly feel fortunate that Harold has been working with me on my fitness goals.

My name is Bryan Pazaras. I am a College Professor teaching Business and a College within the State University of New York and at the beginning on 2019 sought out Stretch Training to help me achieve my aggressive 2019 Cycling goals on a single speed road bicycle. I turned to Harold Palacios for that purpose. My specific objective was injury prevention through added flexibility but aside from that being accomplished, astonishingly my performance exploded to the point that I dwarfed my total of 2018, and in 2019 will ride 10,000 miles on the roads of New York City without a gear assisted bicycle!! People have asked me how I got to such a voluminous total and I point to Harold Palacios who knows muscle connectivity and extension even better than the professional trainers I see in major league clubhouses within the realm of my part time summer job. I entered 2019 feeling hopeful yet fearful of injury and finish 2019 feeling fantastic, injury free, optimally flexible, and have a tremendous lifetime achievement under my belt. I sincerely could not have done it without Harold Palacios.

Kristina has been my trainer for the past year- I suffer from horrible anxiety and depression and the 45 minute session puts a smile on my face and gets my endorphins going. Our workouts are able to make me smile and feel great. It makes me forget about my anxiety and depression and has helped me immensely. It’s better than a therapy session and also gets me fit at the same time. I am so grateful I met kristina and her patience with me is amazing, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

Beginning your fitness journey again (maybe for the 6th time again)is something you never look forward to when you’ve struggled with your weight for years. When I first started with Kristina it was the total opposite feel, I wanted to work out. In working out with her I learned exercises I had been doing wrong for years, if I had an issue with any exercise she always found a modification to help me feel more accomplished, and lastly she made fitness not just exercising but a balance between, exercise, nutrition, and self care. Kristina is a great trainer who cares and keeps on top of you but will always remind you it’s not where you were, it’s where your going.

Kristina Schook is an excellent, competent and compassionate trainer. I have become strong because of her expertise and confidence in me. She knows your strengths and never lets you fail or give up. She is always positive and supportive. I feel as though she has helped me transform my physical and spirit being and I have found someone special.
