I attended a Zumba class instructed by Juancho Vitangcol and had a blast! Not only was his energy contagious but, the workout was solid. My arms and legs were the good kind of sore. The dance steps were easy to follow and the music selection was great. The best thing about Juancho was that he made me feel comfortable to really let loose and dive into the workout. It's hard not to feed off of his positive energy. It was definitely the pick me up I needed. I will definitely be back for a recharge! I strongly recommend attending one of his classes.

I had the opportunity to attend classes at Essential Fitness in summer of 2019, and loved my experience! Scott is a great coach who treats all his clients with respect and kindness. He modifies all activities to fit a variety of fitness and mobility levels, creating a welcoming but appropriately challenging environment for all clients. His focus on safety, correct body mechanics, and lifting techniques changed the way I work out for the better.
Before working with Scott, I regularly experienced low back pain when doing squats or dead lifts. Scott provided coaching around muscle activation and technique that completely eliminated this pain. I've been able to take what I've learned from Scott and incorporate it into all other fitness classes and ventures. I would highly recommend Scott and Essential Fitness to anyone wanting to improve strength, body mechanics, fitness, and confidence.

I've been training with Scott for two months now and I'm hooked. I came in a bit discouraged because training injuries have made it difficult to keep a consistent schedule particularly of squats. But, his approach is different than any program I've found. We do compound movements along with lots of mobility exercises that seem to reduce injures. So far I've been able to continue training - even squats. I was in the Army in my youth, but these days I usually sit at least 10 hours a day. The small group classes are ideal to correct my form so I can keep working out.

This is one of my favorite studios in NYC. The atmosphere is super high energy, whether you're taking yoga or mega former.

I started training with Scott a few months ago to take control over my neck and shoulder pain, and I couldn't be more pleased. Scott uses a standard approach from his many facets of training and takes you through a personalized program made just for you, as you are now. As I've gotten stronger Scott has veered away from the mobility exercises into actual strength training. I have learned so much from Scott about how my body works, how to reduce my pain and increase my strength. It also doesn't hurt that I accidentally lost 8 pounds in the first month without even trying. After personal training I started the classes and have been very satisfied with those. I will continue to train with Scott at Essential Fitness and I would recommend his training and classes to anyone who wants a genuine expert.

Scott is one of the hardest working people that I have ever met. It's because of that, his attention and knowledge of his craft is unmatchable. His group sessions are intense but yet he still manages to give individual attention to each person based on their individual skill set and their ability. He not only makes sure you get the most out of the environment but provides you with all the tools to get stronger without the risk of getting hurt. You will feel like a new person every time you leave.

Essential Fitness and Scott have not only been a huge fitness /strength motivation for over the past 3 years, but also a place for mental guidance. The positive attitudes and the comaraderie with other clients is amazing. Definitely recommend to friends and anyone seeking these things.

Essential Fitness NYC really came into my life right when I needed it. I had spent many years working in an office, taking care of my children while overlooking my own health. Scott Hansen changed all of that. He worked with me from the from the beginning giving me tasks that I could do in the studio and outside while teaching me small ways that I could improve my health. Today I am in better shape than I was in my twenties and looking forward to being even better in the future. Essential Fitness NYC changed my life.

I started seeing Scott a couple years ago because of chronic aches and pains. I'm in my 40s and after working with Scott, I have a new understanding of my body and feel better than I ever have. My strength and mobility has improved so much. I continue to work with Scott and I highly recommend him. He is extremely attentive and knowledgeable.

What I enjoy most is the personal attention to detail -- Scott's emphasis on correct form and difficulty based on YOUR body and its condition THAT day are critical to my successes in my health goals. I also value his knowledge about food intake and how it affects your specific goals as well as his genuine concern for how your mental state plays a factor in not only your performance that day, but your overall health. FANTASTIC PROGRAM!
