I feel lucky to be a member at this gym. I have been lifting weights for almost 20 years and have never been stronger or had better form on my lifts. The workout programming and incredible coaches are what have allowed me to see these results. The community at this gym is also something special. Everyone is welcoming and nice and the gym regularly hosts social events and activities.
I started my journey at Dutch Kills Fitness in December of 2018. As a former North East regional CrossFit athlete, I experienced a devastating injury (ACL tear) after my appearance on “NBC’s Titan Games” and was graciously received by Dominick Fortino at Dutch Kills Fitness, for his expertise in strength training.
Under Dom’s guidance via prehab and post surgery rehab programming, not only did I return to the competitive realm of CrossFit, but I came back stronger and with improved movement/ technique.
If not for this gym, the programming, and its strong community, I’m not sure I would have made the comeback that I did. I am forever grateful for this place, the people, and the relationships I have made here.
Thank you Dutch Kills Fitness & Dominick Fortino, for bringing me back to fitness, keeping me strong, and for never giving up on me!

I was first introduced to DKF through some friends. I have never done CrossFit before. I work as a Physical Therapist and always had bad impressions of these types of work out. I would say my mind was completely changed and it’s been my main workout since 2019.
Dom is an amazing owner and coach and cares about each individual. He cares about the community and about bringing fitness to the general population, which is so important. The coaches are good at what they do and watch you closely to ensure you are moving with good form and appropriate weight. In my first few months of joining, the coaches and fellow members helped me to modify my workouts to make it more achievable. I always feel empowered because I never knew I could train to lift so much weight or do any gymnastic movements! I always feel good walking out :)
I have gotten stronger, fitter and healthier because of this space :) it has even changed the way I treat my patients, tailoring my exercises to be more functional just like how Dom’s programming is.
If you are looking to be stronger in a non-judgmental zone, DKF is the place to be! The results speak for themselves!

I was hesitant to join a Crossfit-like gym for years, but after months of being frustrated with the limited equipment and classes at your typical gym I decided to give this place a chance. That was back in 2017 and I am still proud to be a member of this gym today in 2022. I've made new friends, found a new joy in fitness, and have done things I never thought I could do before.
The coaches are very knowledgeable and can help you regardless of your fitness journey or experience to date. I've felt confident in bringing friends who are new to fitness or even my own mom to a class!
If I could rate this gym a 10/10, I would. Give it a chance, you won't regret it!

I grew up in a town of 1,000 in Missouri and moved to NYC over 20 years ago, and I never felt like I was part of a true community here until I found this gym. This place has helped to make me the healthiest and strongest in my life, but the people are what got me so committed. When I met Dom, he said “Commit to 3 days a week for 3 months and I promise you you’ll see a difference.” I’m so glad I went all in and I got a 200lb bench press to prove it!
Dom and the coaches at DKF are excellent trainers who provide thoughtful feedback, encouragement and support to enable you to do better every single day. The overall workout experience and motivation scene are completely different, I enjoy my workouts very much and really look forward to them irrespective of however challenging they are. The community is so warm, kind, and friendly, and is one that's rare to find. I feel stronger and healthier than ever.
I have been a member at this gym for about 3 years. The owner, Dom, goes above and beyond for all his clients and the community. The programming is designed to push you past your comfort zone and builds not only physical strength but mental agility. The gym is a great size, and has tons of rigs and equipment. Perfect for the beginner to the professional athlete, the community is warm and welcoming. About a year into my membership I experienced and injury and every time I went to class Dom would text me with modifications to the workout so that I could still attend class and not be left behind.
During the pandemic, every single morning, Dom and his team of coaches would take all of the equipment out of the gym and place each item in the designated 6ft apart spot (we were allowed 12 members at a time). Barbells, weights, kettlebells, mats, stones, essentially every piece of equipment would come out of the gym at 530 am and back into the gym at the end of the night. I have never seen anyone go above and beyond for their people in this way, and in such a time of need. He even let us each take home a piece of equipment for those who were uncomfortable coming to workout outside.
Dom always makes himself available and his coaching style is so meticulous. He pays attention to every detail and gives great instruction. You can tell he puts his heart and soul into what he does and he has found his passion. This place has changed my life for the better, and if you ever have the privilege of attending a class at DKF you will not be disappointed.

I nervously walked into this gym more than 4 years ago not knowing what to expect, and I was immediately welcomed by friendly coaches and members. This placed helped me get stronger and healthier than ever!
From the down to earth, attentive, and experienced coaches to the welcoming and supportive community of members, this place is where I spend my favorite hour of the day! Highly recommend!
