Having suffered from severe back pain for years, Santiago is transforming how I approach exercise and movement - getting stronger every day.

I have never believed in personal trainers as every session ended with a new injury. I came to point where I hated going to gym, I have been leaving with a fear of injuring myself that refrains me even simple walking. I have learned to live with Shoulder, knees, neck, upper back pain for a long time. No gym, no further injuries. Happy life! However, one day I woke up with an excruciating pain on my collar bone which made me to cry like a baby. I saw 5 docs back then. Steroid pills, shots... all temporary solution. I rejected all of them, instead I called one of my friend who has been suffering with lower back pain and was talking about how good she has been feeling lately. She recommended me Santiago and his team. Omg! After the second visit with very simple movements my collar bone pain was 95% gone. I literally revived from the point where I was saying I am old and totally out of commission for the rest of my life. He has a very unique training technique which makes me to understand my body better. Everything makes so much sense. Most of my body pain is gone. Not a joke! I feel stronger, younger and definitely more energetic. He thought me the importance of moving. His knowledge about human body and exercising is a total new approach to body training. Every session is a pleasure for me. I strongly recommend to people who are looking to stay youthful and healthy in their latter years, not just going to the gym because everybody else is doing so.

Since I don’t always listen to my body and what it needs, they do. I’m stronger for it. It’s the best time I can make for myself in my busy day. I’m hooked and love working with Santiago and his team.

Santiago and team is an amazing group of folks to work with!! Patient, knowledgeable and professional! Have worked with Santi for about 6 years and he helped resolved my back issue and other problem areas that cropped up over the years. Highly recommend without reservation! Thank you, Santi!!

The entire staff at Success Fitness Studio are knowledgeable and skilled. They great you with a smile and ensure that you get a solid workout while still respecting your body and its potential limits on any given day. It is a pleasure to walk in and my muscles thank me on the way out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND - regardless of your level of fitness!!

This is the best personal training studio I have experienced in NYC. Santiago and his team are highly educated and very professional. Their methodology of training barefoot on artificial turf enabled me to reach my full potential and avoid unnecessary strain on my body.

I've been very fortunate to train with Santiago McCarthy since 2004. Initially, he was the only trainer (& I tried many) I felt secure enough with given that I had suffered a back injury. The rehab physician had instructed me to stop running, which had been my main mode of exercise previously, so I sought a personal trainer who could teach me how to work out safely. Within several months of working with Santiago I was pain free and our exercise goals had expanded beyond strengthening my back and core to being physically fit, healthy, and not embarrassed to wear a bikini. As a result, eleven years later, at age 50, I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life. Others seem to concur and are constantly amazed that I look as youthful as I do. I can't imagine training with anyone as patient, knowledgeable, kind, fun, and competent as Santiago is and I can not recommend him highly enough.
