On February 10th, 2021, myself and John Collins started what is known today as The Trinity Gym.
Conditions were far from perfect.
We did not have fancy equipment.
We did not have a gym location.
We did not have any location at all.
We trained a few friends outside. In the snow.
How Trinity Gym Started in Long Island City
What we did have was a desire to get people moving and feeling better.
We had a strong work ethic. We had a burning commitment to make it work. And we had the beginning of something special — a small but powerful community.
We did not wait for the perfect moment to open a gym in Long Island City. We did not build the perfect spreadsheet. We did not wait for better weather or better conditions.
We started.
That first step, followed by consistent action, stacked up. Day by day. Week by week. Year by year.
Five Years Later: A New Chapter for Trinity Gym NYC
The week of February 10th, 2026 — exactly five years later — we are moving Trinity into a brand new space.
From a cart, a few kettlebells, and snowy sessions…
To a new home for our growing community.
Today, Trinity is known as a fitness gym in Long Island City built on coaching, structure, and accountability. We offer small group training in Long Island City and personal training in Long Island City for people who want more than random workouts.
It is something we are incredibly proud of.
But none of it would exist if we waited for perfect conditions.
What This Means for You
Most members who walk into our gym LIC do not start confident.
Most do not start fit.
Most start with fear, doubt, and uncertainty.
But they start.
And then they stay consistent.
That is where the change happens.
You do not need to be in great shape to join a strength training gym in Long Island City. You do not need to have it all figured out. You do not need perfect timing.
You need one action step.
The First Step Is Always the Hardest
We have seen it hundreds of times. The hardest part is walking through the door for the first time.
Whether you are searching for personal training near me, a personal trainer LIC, or a fitness studio in Long Island City, the step that changes everything is simply deciding to begin.
Conditions will never be perfect.
But five years from now, you will either look back glad you started — or wish you had.
