Check out the latest Podcast episode with “The Truth Prescription” on weight lose

Real Fitness NYC featured in Kung-Fu Magazine May/June 2013 issue

I decided you are like the abusive boyfriend that I can't break up with; even though you keep beating the crap out of me, I just can't quit you. I am sore as shit, but it is a great sore. Remember when I was saying that the hot yoga/puking/dizziness was totally worth it because of the feeling the next day? Well, the feeling is even better after workouts with you, especially this past Wednesday's workout. Thanks for kicking my ass and pushing me to be stronger and not giving up on me when I push back and try to cheat. You have honestly shown me a whole new world as far as fitness and health are concerned. For all of this, I am eternally grateful.

I was lucky enough to hang and train with a Duke Garone, Independent Strength and Conditioning Specialist, head of Real Fitness NYC, and all around bad-ass.I can honestly say, it was one of the best ass-kickings I have ever had. This is what Duke, (who has a brother named Ceasar,) had to say about working out, radical self-honesty and above all, taking responsibility for your own actions! To say that I got a good workout in is a severe understatement. I have also seen Duke teach classes, and have the ENTIRE class, one at a time, use him as a punching bag...LITERALLY! At the end of the day, we want to spend time with people who inspire, motivate and help cultivate our best selves. A Real Fitness NYC workout with Duke will def push you to your limits...and then a bit further.

I have worked with Duke for over 3 years and he has become indispensable to my life and wellness. Building and maintaining a strong, well-toned body requires dedication to a regimen of cardio exercise and weight training; along with compliance to a healthy diet. Duke takes pride in every client he personally trains – assessing individual abilities, setting realistic goals and developing a highly-personalized workout to achieve them. He's fully vested in your success and pushes even the most avid and knowledgeable fitness buff to levels they thought were unattainable. Yet he makes even the most difficult work-outs seem easier. Enthusiastic and friendly, Duke keeps it interesting by adding new exercises, mixing it up and provides instant feedback on posture to maximize results and prevent injury. He is aggressive in pushing me forward, but also mindful of my unique needs and able to answer any questions I have about my training. With lots of determination and Duke's guidance, I was recently able to drop 6% body fat, AND add lean muscle in just 12 weeks! On a personal level, Duke has become a great friend to me, one I can count on... with a greatsense of humor. I highly recommend Duke to anyone (couch potato to athlete) looking to improve their fitness level and have a ton of fun in the process.
