Looking to get in serious shape with help from the best? Perhaps you’re just curious to see what NYC has to offer?
Either way, here’s an up-to-date 2022 list of New York City’s hottest male trainers.

In no particular order, the following male trainers know their stuff and are real-life (and good-looking) testaments of what they preach, so you’re going to want to have these trainers on your radar!
1. Akin Akman
Akin Akman is a former SoulCycle trainer who now coaches at AARMY. And we have to admit it: the guy looks good on screen. But if his live fitness classes aren’t enough, you can always catch one of his weekly AARMY sessions in NYC.
Did we mention that he’s also a global ambassador for Lululemon and a rep for IMG Models? Enough said.

2. Meech Robinson
You only have to see Meech Robinson to understand why the NYC-based Barry’s Bootcamp instructor is so popular. Despite having a weakness for pizza, the guy is jacked. He also has a smile that would make most go weak at the knees.
He has a fitness app, Meech FIT, so it’s possible to have Meech as your own personal coach in the palm of your hand.
