  I'm grateful Joe introduced me to this place. I like it for several reasons: - Jesse, who owns the place, is: A. A pro when it comes to coaching people about lifting weights (he's competed and coached before AND achieved success) B. Listens to your goals and tailors a workout program based on these goals if you sign up for training. C. A great teacher. He helps you learn a skill without talking down to you. D. Answers any question you have - including those that seem silly. E. Generates a spreadsheet so you may track your progress over the course of the next 8 weeks. - The place is great because: A. The people who go are super chill. B. If you join the weightlifters or powerlifters, you gain a bunch of supporters who cheer you on your lifting journey. C. Has calibrated and fractional weights you may use. Helpful because strength gains come in increments D. Multiple bars and lifting platforms available to use. At worse you work in with someone. But hey, at least you met someone new in the process. - Note: Though i think everyone can benefit from weightlifting, this may not be the place for you if: - You want to exercise on an infrequent basis (Though if you lift regularly, you could pay $15 to 'drop in' and lift to use the equipment.) - You prefer to do cardio for most of your workouts - Don't come in with an open mind about the workout you're assigned to do. (My idea of what it means to be fit has changed after coming here - in a good way) In summary, JDI is a good investment in your health if you're willing to challenge yourself and remain committed to your goals. If you 'embrace the suck' you may just surprise yourself a couple weeks into your own program.

  While there are a lot of good gyms in NYC, anyone who Olympic lifts knows that the most crucial component of training is coaching. And that is where JDI stands apart --- Jesse Irizarry is the most encouraging, informative, knowledgeable coach possible. To top it off, you'll be surrounded by a strong supportive team. If you want to learn and get better, JDI is where you should lift.
