How We Train
Our training begins with understanding how you move and what you want to accomplish. We identify areas that need attention, discuss your goals, and create a personalized training plan based on your needs and abilities.
Using a Functional Patterns-based approach, we combine movement assessments, individualized exercises, and one-on-one coaching to help improve how your body moves and performs. Your program evolves as you progress, with adjustments tailored to your goals.
Rather than simply counting repetitions or focusing on isolated muscles, we look at how your body works together.
Our personal training programs focus on:
• Improving strength, mobility, and flexibility
• Developing better posture and movement mechanics
• Improving balance, coordination, and body control
• Addressing movement limitations and muscular imbalances
• Building strength and conditioning for everyday activities
All training takes place one-on-one in our private Waldwick studio. You receive personalized attention, direct feedback, and guidance throughout each session, with exercises selected specifically for your needs and goals.
What Makes us Different
At Esteem Biomechanics, we don't just give you a workout and send you on your way. We take a more individualized approach to how you train and how you move.
1. We Look at How You Move
Rather than focusing only on how much weight you can lift or how many repetitions you can complete, we look at movement patterns and how your body works together.
2. A Functional Patterns-Based Approach
Our training is rooted in Functional Patterns, with an emphasis on movement, posture, strength, mobility, and coordination.
3. Every Program Is Individualized
Your training isn't designed for the person next to you. Sessions are adjusted around your goals, experience, abilities, and how you respond to training.
4. Training for Long-Term Progress
The objective isn't simply to get through a workout. We want to help you develop physical qualities that continue to serve you outside the gym.
5. A Private Training Environment
Located on Franklin Turnpike in Waldwick, our private studio provides a focused alternative to a traditional crowded gym.
For Saddle River residents who want individualized coaching without traveling far from home, Esteem offers a different way to approach personal training.
SEE WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING!
I had the pleasure of visiting Esteem Biomechanics for a homework assignment, and I was truly impressed. Niel, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of physical health. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly and was kind and understanding throughout my visit. The facility itself is beautiful and welcoming, creating a perfect environment for learning and healing. I highly recommend checking it out, and don’t miss the grand opening on October 19 at 12!
Neil is an amazing person and a wonderful trainer. I had a brain tumor, so the right side of my body was affected. I have balance issues and I am very optimistic about the work that Neil will do with me to help correct those issues. I have tried so many physical therapists in my life to try to help and I wasn’t seeing much improvement. This gives me hope!!
If you’re looking for an authentic person who takes a holistic approach to your health and fitness, Neil is the man. From the moment I called Neil, he gave me great comfort about the work he’d being doing with my nephew who has low spectrum CP. My nephew has a new lease on life; increased confidence, mobility, stability and muscle development that we didn’t think possible. What a gift!
I'm so grateful to have found Neil! I found him through a Facebook ad for a six-week challenge. He's such a great trainer and very personable. For me specifically it was about losing my first 20 pounds to kick start healthier habits but at the end of the challenge he's given me so much more. He taught me the importance of how my body is supposed to move and absolutely supported me and my goals throughout the challenge. I look forward to continuing to work with him in the future!
I've been a client for over 2 years. I wanted to get in shape but I had no experience working out in a gym. I just wanted to build muscle and get stronger, but I wanted to do it safely without getting injured down the line. Esteem Biomechanics' approach of using exercise that mimic real-life movement patterns made more sense to me than traditional training. I think any other trainer would have just told me to life heavy weights and do pushups and pullups, but Neil took it slow and first helped me fix my posture, improve my coordination, and create a better mind-muscle connection to form a strong foundation so that I could do more traditional exercises with a much lower risk of injury. The biggest and most unexpected way Esteem Biomechanics has changed my life is fix my flat feet! I learned how the muscles in my feet connect to rest of my body, and after about a year of training I no longer needed my prescription inserts even though my podiatrist told me I would need them for life. Also, I'm now able to change the 5 gallon water jug on the cooler without any trouble! It apparently takes your whole body, not just your arms!
Training with Neil is a great experience. He has created a welcoming, non-judgmental atmosphere in a facility that is bright and clean. Neil applies his broad knowledge to a unique method of training tailored to each individual’s health and needs. He produces results through a style which stresses safety and patience. The conversation is a bonus!
