Why we LIFT
We believe that incorporating safe weight training workouts into your fitness program is key. LIFTONIC is the missing ingredient in your current workout routine because we focus on keeping your muscles under tension which is the most efficient way to; build muscle, lose weight (body fat), improve posture, increase metabolism, and so much more.
Our Community
LIFTONIC group weight training classes are suitable for all ages, strength and fitness levels. We do not need to offer beginner or advanced classes because everyone can follow along using the weights that will challenge them. We demonstrate each exercise, guide you on what weights to use and then follow along with you throughout the workout. If you’re looking for safe, fun and effective weight training classes in lower Manhattan then look no further.
7 reasons why you should lift with us
1) Weight Training is key no matter your health and fitness goals. Being leaner, stronger and more mobile improves the quality of your daily life. .
2) We don’t teach dangerous fast movements. And we never include high impact moves. Just simple, effective weight training basics
3) Lifting is more fun in a group. Going to the weights room at your local gym or residential building gym is so boring. And you have to think about what to do. You will automatically be inspired to workout harder just by being in the room with other like minded Lifters.
4) Music - we teach to the beat. Great music during a group fitness class is important. It is motivating and ensures that each exercise is performed slowly which is the key to getting results.
5) LIFTONIC weights training classes give you the same workout you could get with a Personal Trainer but at a fraction of the cost.
6) Lifting weights from our custom built studios is an experience. We keep the studio darkly lit so you can just focus on yourself and your workout. TV screens on the ceiling show a live feed of the instructor so even when you’re doing an exercise on your back you can follow along.
7) Our weight training workouts change monthly. Giving you enough time to improve on each exercise while also maxing it up to avoid training plateaus.
Lifting weights at LIFTONIC is effective
Working your muscles to full exhaustion is by far the most effective way to build muscle and strength. The technical term is Time Under Tension or (TUT). Cardiovascular type of activities such as running and swimming will improve your fitness but it won’t build muscle. That’s why 100% of our focus is lifting heavy weights. Only then will your muscles repair, get stronger, with a more toned body as a result.
What to expect during a LIFTONIC class
We have created an inclusive, no judgmental environment for you to lift from. Each participant gets their own weights bench, dumbbells and resistance bands. Our expert weight training instructors will help you get set up. Once class begins our instructors will demonstrate each and every exercise, showing you proper weightlifting technique, guiding you on what weights to use and then perform the moments with you as you follow along.
What exercises are in a LIFTONIC class?
We’re not trying to recreate the wheel. Basic weights training exercises such as Chest Press & Squats have been the basis of weight training programs for decades because they work. Forget all the fancy bells and whistles, at LIFTONIC we’ve simply selected and tweaked the most efficient weights exercises and combined them with complimentary body weight and resistance band exercises
The LIFTONIC Method
LIFTONIC is your location for everything weight training. We’ve been serving clients from all over New York for the last 7 years. Over this time we’ve develop and honed our weight training workout method. Based on the overarching idea that having more muscle mass and strength is key to reaching your fitness goals, we have created a series of weight training class formats that are fun, efficient and effective.
LIFTONIC weight training for muscle tone
The most effective way to get toned is to build muscle and lose fat. That’s what weight training does. The more muscle you build and the more fat you lose the firmer and more toned you will be.
LIFTONIC weight training for weight loss
Have you ever lost weight by dieting and doing cardio only to find the weight return as soon as you stop? That is because weight loss is not the same thing as fat loss. Who cares about weight when you look and feel great? You will build muscle and lose fat with regular weight training classes which will help you maintain a healthy, stable weight.
LIFTONIC weight training for increased metabolism
The more “active tissue” like muscle you have the more energy your body needs to go about its day. This turns your body into a calorie burning machine. Only activities like weight training will build muscle and in turn increase your metabolism.
LIFTONIC weight training for injury prevention
Stronger muscles help stabilize your joints which prevents injuries. A well considered weight training program like LIFTONIC will target all the major muscle groups of the body. Over time, muscular imbalances can improve and your overall gains in strength and muscle mass will allow you to enjoy your daily activities, pain and injury free.
Convenient
We’ve got the entire lower Manhattan covered. Weight training classes right in the West Village, close to Chelsea and Greenwich Village and we just brought our weight training studio to the East Village right next to The Bowery, Lower East Side, Chinatown and Soho downtown NYC.
Motivation
We know it can be difficult to find the motivation to exercise. And weight training can be intimidating. Not at LIFTONIC! Our studio is filled with motivating music and our instructors will inspire you to challenge yourself in ways that you just can't do by yourself.
Education
Our instructors hold a nationally recognized certificate in group and personal training. Not only will they motivate you to lift heavier, they will also teach you proper weight training technique. Learn the correct weight training form that you can then take with you wherever you go.
Safety First
We use free weights so the exercises are more fluid and less dangerous than using Olympic Weightlifting bars. Our movements are much slower than a Bootcamp or High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) class. Weight training is an efficient, safe, non impact workout
Injury Prevention
LIFTONIC classes are suitable even if you have existing injuries. In fact, weight training can bring back mobility and strength to your muscles to assist with the rehabilitation process. Our programming is split into different body parts so you can work around injures as needed and lift often.
Mental Health
Most forms of exercise are beneficial for your mental health. Weight training is no different. High intensity weight training also releases the same endorphins you get when going for a run or cycle. A routine with 3-4 weights workouts each week will make you mentally stronger.

The instructors are all really encouraging and friendly, and their customer service around buying classes is great. Highly recommend if you want to get into weight lifting, or already have some experience but just want a tough workout without thinking too much about it."

"Liftonic is amazing! I try to make it between 2-4 times a week. All the instructors are thorough, fun and personable. If you are thinking about strength training, try it out here! I started well into my 40s and the results are awesome. I see a difference and most importantly feel a difference!"

"Though I've tried many fitness classes around NYC, I've always been extremely fearful of ones that focused on strength training. This was honestly my favorite experience thus far. There's a wide range of weights available, every sequence is demonstrated and explained clearly -- and though the work-out is absolutely killer, the moves themselves are simple / easy to follow. It really is focused on building strength and eliminates a lot of the complexity (and anxiety) that I've found in other strength classes. My first class was with Bryan -- he is equal parts supportive, hilarious, and motivating. You walk out feeling strong, and physically feel it all over the next day."

time to this place through classpass. Both male and female instructors very nice and knowledgeable. I have more motivation working out in this class than alone at the gym. This class really beat me up in a good way. I definitely felt sore the day after the workout. I love the full body class the most. I like working out with a group in the dark with a mirror. 10/10 would go back again!
