  • I can't say enough about how amazing it's been to train with Joe. He has helped me with all kinds of issues whether it's back pain, neck pain, or just taking my gym training to a whole new level. Let me tell you: If you have ANY issue — pain, movement problems, etc. — he can help you overcome it... sometimes in just minutes. I've been in the industry for a while, but he has REVOLUTIONIZED my perspective on health and fitness. His approach is in a league of its own.

    Unlike other trainers who barely know what they're talking about (or just spout endless cliches about "breathing," "stretching," and "mobility"), Joe GETS IT. His understanding of human movement is unparalleled. But then he takes this understanding and translates it so you can use it to make your life better. It's simple, it's effective, and it's lasting. If you're curious, I strongly recommend Joe as a coach, trainer, or mentor to anyone who truly wants to take their life and body to the next level. Thanks, Joe!!

If you've had a bad experience with a healthcare or athletic training professional, contact Joe. If you've never worked with either of the above, contact Joe. If you're unsure what kind of help you need, contact Joe. If you want to just feel better, contact Joe.

  • Working with Joe has been eye-opening, to say the least. From our first contact over email to our video sessions, he has been nothing short of professional, thoughtful, inquisitive, empathetic, and talented. I followed his content on YouTube and Instagram, slowly practicing and noticing positive changes in my posture in particular and my body as a whole. I figured if I was seeing a marked improvement from his public material, I would probably benefit more from individualized training.

    The reason I reached out to Joe was because I wanted to return to daily running but my body was in less than ideal condition. I was aware of muscle imbalances, movement dysfunctions, and coordination troubles but felt confident Joe could give me an honest assessment of my underlying issues, as well as a no-nonsense approach to rehabilitation.

    The amount of improvement I have experienced over the past few weeks have been staggering and cemented my trust in Joe, both as a healthcare professional as well as a person. He is generous with his time and knowledge while holding me accountable to performing my "homework" i.e. the personalized drills and cues that would improve my form and body.

Ted Calaman,  Managing Director [Newmark] 

In the fewer than 5 collective hours Joe has spent on working with me, my pain has completely disappeared and the relationship I have with the mechanics of my body have vastly improved. This is vastly more progress than the hundreds of hours I have spent with some of the highest paid physical therapists, trainers, and orthopedists in the country. I look forward to continuing working with Joe now to optimize my fitness and develop a consistently healthy lifestyle.

  • Ted Calaman, Managing Director [Newmark]

    I am an investment banker focused on real estate. My life vacillates between sedentary and the highly active depending on a number of factors. Long distance travel is frequent and it is difficult to generate a routine around a generally unpredictable schedule.

    In the fewer than 5 collective hours Joe has spent on working with me, my pain has completely disappeared and the relationship I have with the mechanics of my body have vastly improved. This is vastly more progress than the hundreds of hours I have spent with some of the highest paid physical therapists, trainers, and orthopedists in the country. I look forward to continuing working with Joe now to optimize my fitness and develop a consistently healthy lifestyle.

    It’s a pleasure working with Joe. I know I’m in good hands and confident that Joe will heal my ailments. Furthermore, Joe teaches as he works which enables me and his other clients to avoid the same issues in the future as well as to avoid new problems.

    I highly recommend Joe to anyone that is looking for results from a highly cerebral, determined, and friendly individual.

Joe is a teacher who strives to be there for his students. He is incredibly kind and patient, and most importantly, he listens to your needs. As a teacher and coach, he is highly qualified, coming from a variety of movement backgrounds, and therefore approaches each problem with an open mind.

  • Joe is a teacher who strives to be there for his students. He is incredibly kind and patient, and most importantly, he listens to your needs. As a teacher and coach, he is highly qualified, coming from a variety of movement backgrounds, and therefore approaches each problem with an open mind. He ‘solves’ problems through principles instead of dogma, and that helps me as a client to ‘recycle’ that lesson outside of the gym. I appreciate how Joe manages to be direct yet empathetic - he has been very helpful in getting me through injuries and daily training. Our coaching sessions have always been rigorous but his sense of humor balances out the challenging lessons!

 
 
 
 

Laura Paley, Physical Therapist 

I never cease to be impressed by his grasp and integration of the contemporary sciences and ancient wisdom of human movement. He is relentless in his pursuit of knowledge, and is skilled at applying it.

  • I first met Joe in 2014 at a continuing education course where he was a teaching assistant. I have since known him as a mentor & trainer. I never cease to be impressed by his grasp and integration of the contemporary sciences and ancient wisdom of human movement. He is relentless in his pursuit of knowledge, and is skilled at applying it.

    When you work with Joe, you explore training in ways that most don’t even know exist. Whether your goal is to move better, feel better, sleep better, (the list goes on,) look no further – Joe is your guy! I can’t recommend him highly enough. Que te muevas Mejor!

 
 

Amanda Rose Walsh, Yoga / Boxing Instructor 

Joe Gonzalez is changing the fitness industry. Even though I myself am a 20 year veteran in the fitness industry, I haven’t come across the level of intelligence and unique approach that Joe offers. I highly recommend working with Joe especially if what you are doing isn’t working AND you are looking to be ahead of the curve on where movement is going.

  • Joe Gonzalez is changing the fitness industry.

    I went to see him as a preventative measure after experiencing terrible rib pain from my pregnancy.

    I had tried acupuncture, massage, stretching, chiropractic care, and many forms of “training” yet the pain persisted.

    Even though I myself am a 20 year veteran in the fitness industry, I haven’t come across the level of intelligence and unique approach that Joe offers.

    He is breathing new life into training models that are old and outdated while offering incredible perspectives on how best to approach injuries and pain.

    I highly recommend working with Joe especially if what you are doing isn’t working AND you are looking to be ahead of the curve on where movement is going.

 
 
 
 

Colin Butler - Physical Therapist

If you’re coming to Joe with a movement limitation or nagging musculoskeletal issue, he is sure to help you create a plan to move in the right direction and get you back into fitness. 

  • Joe Gonzalez is one of the best coaches that I have ever met. His ability to connect with the individual he is working with, combined with his vast knowledge of biomechanics, kinesiology, and applied neuroscience make him able to effectively lead you to discovering movement you never thought you could perform.

    If you’re coming to Joe with a movement limitation or nagging musculoskeletal issue, he is sure to help you create a plan to move in the right direction and get you back into fitness. I can’t recommend working with Joe enough.

 
 

Roxana Barbu, Dancer

I feel very grateful to have come across Joe. He is funny, compassionate, patient, but exigent. He will never let you get away with less than you can achieve that day, and on the days when you have a lot on your mind he’ll help you become aware of the fact that it’s affecting your movement as well.

  • I was looking for a coach who would treat the cause, not the symptom.

    Joe was recommended to me by my dance teachers in order to overcome an injury in my left clavicular area.

    I was aware that the injury was the result of other problems I had developed in my body’s alignment over time.

    I feel very grateful to have come across Joe. He is funny, compassionate, patient, but exigent. He will never let you get away with less than you can achieve that day, and on the days when you have a lot on your mind he’ll help you become aware of the fact that it’s affecting your movement as well. I always look forward to our sessions and I would recommend him to anyone who is interested in learning how the body was meant to move and why.

 
 
 
 

Noam Tamir, Gym Owner [TS Fitness]

Being an experienced fitness coach and owner of TS Fitness I have met many, many fitness professionals. Joe Gonzalez is one of the most knowledgeable and passionate trainers I know.

  • He has helped me and my coaches work on things to improve not only movement for ourselves but movement with our clients to get them out of pain and he has exceeded expectations.

 
 

Brette Graber, VP of Client Services [Mass Appeal]

I saw a doctor from the Hospital for Special Surgery and worked with several physical therapists. None of them really helped. My trainer referred me to his mentor, Joe, and I am so grateful for that introduction. Working with Joe has been really empowering because it’s restored a level of hope.

  • I run the creative services division at an entertainment company. The long story is I broke my pelvis when I was 14. I was running & pulled my hamstring off my pelvic bone. This created a whole series of issues from pain in my pelvis to lower back pain. It would light on fire if I was standing or walking for too long. I saw a doctor from the Hospital for Special Surgery and worked with several physical therapists. None of them really helped. My trainer referred me to his mentor, Joe & I am so grateful for that introduction.

    Working with Joe has been really empowering because it’s restored a level of hope. This back pain doesn’t have to be the ruling narrative as I age. There are tools and resources and a path forward away from the pain and that gives me a lot of hope in continuing to be strong as I age.

    The empowerment is incredible and the biggest take away for me. None of the other people or methods I tried have given me that same sense of empowerment or sense that this is a sustainable process that would continue to help me throughout the years.
