Starting a fitness journey can feel overwhelming. Here are the answers we share most often with new clients just like you.
Schedule My Free Evaluation →Whether you're brand new to fitness or coming back after a break, it's normal to have questions. Below, we've answered the ones we hear most often. Don't see yours? Reach out — we're always happy to chat.
Absolutely not — and this is one of our most common questions. Breakthrough Fitness welcomes clients at every fitness level. In fact, many of our longest-tenured clients started with us as complete beginners. Our free evaluation is specifically designed to meet you where you are, assess your current baseline, and build a plan that's appropriate for your body and goals right now. You don't need to "get ready" to work with us. We help you get ready.
Your free fitness evaluation is a no-pressure conversation and assessment with one of our certified trainers. We'll talk through your history, current fitness level, any injuries or limitations, and what you're hoping to achieve. From there, we'll walk you through our facility, introduce you to the tools we use (like the InBody scan or NeuFit if relevant), and outline what a training plan with us could look like. There's no commitment required — just an honest conversation about your goals.
Yes — and in many cases, smart training is the best thing you can do for an injury. Our trainers are certified in corrective exercise and work with clients recovering from sprains, surgeries, chronic pain, and neurological conditions. We also offer NeuFit electrical stimulation therapy, which is specifically designed to accelerate recovery and re-educate the nervous system. We'll always ask about your injury during your evaluation and design your program accordingly. If there's a medical concern, we'll work in coordination with your healthcare provider.
We'll help you find the right fit during your free evaluation. Every trainer on our team has their own specialties — from corrective exercise and weight loss to athletic performance and group fitness. We'll match you based on your goals, personality, and schedule. Our team has remarkable tenure (most have been with Breakthrough for over a decade), which means they know how to build real, lasting relationships with their clients.

Yes. In addition to one-on-one personal training, we offer semi-private training (2–3 clients) and group fitness training for those who prefer a more communal workout environment. Group sessions are a great way to stay accountable, enjoy a lower price point, and train alongside others with similar goals. Our trainers still bring the same level of personalized attention and programming — even in a group setting. Ask us about availability when you come in for your evaluation.
The InBody scan is a 45-second, non-invasive body composition analysis that measures your body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, visceral fat levels, hydration balance, and basal metabolic rate — all with clinical accuracy. It's far more useful than a scale alone. We use the InBody to build smarter training and nutrition plans, and to track real progress over time. While it's not mandatory, we highly recommend it for anyone serious about understanding their body and measuring results. Learn more on our InBody page.
We believe fitness results are built in the gym and in the kitchen. That's why Breakthrough Fitness integrates nutrition support through our DotFit platform. DotFit provides macro-specific meal planning, supplement guidance, Fitbit and MyFitnessPal integration, and remote coaching options including virtual sessions. Nutrition can be added to any training plan, or booked as a standalone service. Our trainers are certified to guide you through evidence-based nutritional planning — no fad diets, no shortcuts. See our DotFit page to learn more.
We offer multiple training formats to fit different budgets and schedules — including 30-minute, 45-minute, and 60-minute one-on-one sessions, as well as semi-private and group options. Pricing is discussed during your free evaluation based on your training needs and frequency goals. We also work with Wellhub and ClassPass members. The best first step is to book your free evaluation so we can understand your situation and find the right fit for you.
We operate inside Intoxx Fitness — Oakwood at 3295 Amboy Rd, Staten Island, NY 10306. While we share the space with Intoxx Fitness, Breakthrough Fitness is its own team and experience — we have our own certified trainers, programming, and client relationships. You'll find us right inside the main gym floor. Our team is easy to spot — just ask for us at the front desk. You can also view our contact page for a map and hours.
