If you're looking for a trainer/training program that takes away the dreadful feeling of having to workout, High Definition Training is it. From the first session, I realized that the program wasn’t just about set and reps. Every workout was designed to build up your confidence while also making you stronger. Not only do you have a dedicated trainer who truly cares about you as an individual, you’re also welcomed into an entire community that genuinely cares and celebrates each other. 10/10 recommend!

I’ve had such a great experience with High Definition Training. The program is well-rounded, organized, and challenging without ever feeling overwhelming. The coaches really meet you where you are and help you build from there. The accountability and support have been a huge part of my progress. I’ve lost 10 pounds, gained muscle in the right places, and gotten noticeably stronger. One of my biggest wins was being able to do a full push-up, which, at 63, felt pretty amazing! The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed. There’s also a great sense of community, and many of the members have been training here for years. I highly recommend High Definition Training to anyone looking to get stronger, feel better, and have the support and guidance to stay consistent.

Starting the 60-Day Transformation Program at High Definition Training was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. At 40, I was dealing with constant pain, low energy, and several health challenges. I felt physically weak, mentally exhausted, and disconnected from the person I used to be. I honestly thought this was just how life would feel from now on. From day one, the coaches met me where I was. Every exercise was modified around my limitations, and I never felt judged or rushed. Little by little, I became stronger, moved better, and started trusting my body again. I also learned how to fuel myself properly with balanced meals, more protein, and healthier habits I could actually maintain. But the biggest transformation wasn’t just physical. I gained confidence, peace of mind, and a renewed belief in myself. High Definition Training didn’t just help me change my body. Strength training gave me back a life I thought I had lost. I am hooked! If you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged, or afraid to start, take the first step. You may be stronger than you realize.

After trying several gyms and personal trainers in the Bronx, I can confidently say that High Definition Training is by far the best personal training experience I've ever had. From the very first session, I knew this was different. This isn't a place where you're just counting reps or sweating through random workouts. Every workout has a purpose, every exercise is coached with precision, and every session is designed to help you get stronger, move better, and build confidence. The workouts are challenging, but the coaching, accountability, and attention to detail make all the difference. After just three months, I feel like a completely new woman. My aches and pains have decreased, I've gone down one to two pant sizes, and my shoulders and arms have never looked more toned. More importantly, I have more energy, greater confidence, and feel stronger in my everyday life. As a woman over 40, I was looking for a program that focused on strength training, sustainable weight loss, and long-term health, not quick fixes. High Definition Training delivered beyond my expectations. The community is just as incredible as the coaching. Everyone is welcoming, supportive, and genuinely celebrates each other's progress. It feels like family, and that makes showing up each week easy. If you're searching for the best personal trainer in the Bronx or a personal training program that truly changes lives, stop looking. High Definition Training has exceeded every expectation and has been one of the best investments I've ever made in my health, strength, and confidence. I only wish I had started sooner!

I just completed my first 60 days at High Definition Training, and the results have exceeded my expectations. I've lost 12 pounds, but the biggest transformation has been how I feel. I have more energy, I'm sleeping better than I have in years, and my confidence has skyrocketed. The coaching is outstanding. You can tell they genuinely care about your success and provide the guidance, accountability, and encouragement needed to stay on track. The community is just as amazing. The women here motivate and support one another at every step, making every session something to look forward to. If you're looking for a place that will challenge you, support you, and help you achieve real, lasting results, I can't recommend High Definition Training enough. I'm excited to continue my journey and see what the next 60 days bring.

Training with Angel at High Definition Training was one of my favorite fitness experiences. Angel always created a fun environment where I felt safe enough to trust my body and push myself harder than I thought I could. Despite having injuries and surgeries, Angel helped with any modifications that would continue to help me heal while strength training. I saw changes in my body that gave me the confidence in every aspect of my life.

Joining High Definition Training completely changed my life. When I first considered joining a gym, I spent months doubting myself and wondering if I was even capable of making a change at my age. My son Orlando invited me to try what he thought was a local boot camp, and I originally went to support him. Funny enough, he went twice, and I never stopped going after that first session. From day one, I felt welcomed, encouraged, and challenged in the best possible way. Coach Angel never treated me differently because I was over 50. He believed in me even when I struggled to believe in myself, and he pushed me to become stronger physically and mentally than I ever imagined possible. One of the biggest moments of my journey was completing a mud run with my HDT family at 50 years old. Years ago, I would have never thought something like that was possible for me. It was exhausting, exciting, empowering, and honestly, one of the most fun experiences of my life. Crossing that finish line made me feel unstoppable. Today, I’m stronger, leaner, healthier, and more confident than ever before. I even have muscles I never thought I’d see again, and I absolutely love my arms now! But the biggest transformation wasn’t just physical. HDT helped me rebuild my confidence and prove that age is never the limit. Coach Angel has a gift for seeing potential in people before they see it in themselves. The support, encouragement, and community at HDT truly feel like family. If you’re nervous about starting, unsure of yourself, or worried, it’s “too late,” trust me when I say taking that first step can completely change your life. I’m so grateful I did.

I can’t begin to express how much I appreciate Angel for his level of integrity, expertise and attention to all aspects of my health and wellness. He is a blessing to so many people and I highly recommend his services. God bless you.

I started this journey thinking the goal was to lose 20 pounds. But from day one, Coach Angel challenged me to stop obsessing over the number on the scale and start focusing on the simple habits that truly create change. At first, that mindset shift was difficult, but over the months, something incredible began to happen. My clothes began fitting differently. My skin and complexion looked healthier. I carried myself with more confidence. People started noticing the changes before I even fully saw them myself. They complimented the transformation in my face, my energy, and even the way I walk now. Stronger. More confident. More alive. What makes this even more powerful is that I have not stepped on the scale yet, and I do not plan to until June. For the first time, this journey is no longer just about weight loss. It is about becoming the healthiest, strongest, and most confident version of myself. And by June, I am not just expecting a number. I am looking forward to another level of growth, another accomplishment, and another challenge conquered. With the right coaching, real accountability, and guidance every step of the way, I have made progress that feels sustainable and life changing. The atmosphere here is uplifting and empowering, filled with women who genuinely encourage one another. Every session pushes me, motivates me, and reminds me why I started. This is hands down the best personal training experience in The Bronx. I already feel more energized, more confident, and finally back in control of my health and my future. If you are tired of feeling lost, frustrated, or stuck in the gym, I cannot recommend High Definition Training enough. They are knowledgeable, professional, motivating, and truly invested in every client’s success. They don't just help people work out. They help people transform their lives.

Where can I begin!! I met Angel Perez when he was beginning his journey with High Definition Training. Here I am almost 20 years later and I will forever be thankful for Angel and HDT. Angel takes his time with everyone he meets. His dedication is remarkable. His attention to detail is impeccable. His training is like no other. Many years later and I still go back to my notes and work out plan that Angel created for me and the results are always on point. I had my times where I turned to the "quick fixes" to lose weight. That never lasted. When I started with Angel I was at my highest which was 212 pounds. With Angels help, I went down to 170 the healthy and correct way. Long story short - Angel Perez - High Definition Training - will ALWAYS be a part of my life. I recommend Angel Perez a thousand times - Hands down!!!!

My experience with HDT was one of the best I’ve had with training in general. From the professionalism from Angel to the vibe within the group and sessions. Everyone looks out for each other and assist when needed. Angel, meets you where you at, after your first evaluation. Even though is a group, you will have the modifications needed for you; is a good, happy vibe within the groups: it doesn’t matter the session that you decide to attend. There is personal follow up Via zoom with the trainer with whatever questions, concerns, nutritional recommendations/adjustments. Angel, makes it interesting, fun and there’s always a surprise with thee training during the week! Kind of a challenge. We enjoy it. I really recommend HDT and Angel’s training and guidance.

My experience was great. Angel helped me rehab my knee. His knowledge in PT helped a lot and helping me reach my goals. I was able to run a 5k months later. He also helped me and my husband train for mud runs and spartan citi field. Thoughtful professional and always available to answer any questions and concerns.

I trained with Angel and High Definition Training for nearly two years and it was an incredible experience. Angel not only challenges you, he inspires you to tackle the tasks and programs he designs for each session. His transformation program goes beyond simply losing weight, his goal is to help you build strength, increase mobility and grow endurance. There is something for all levels of athlete and Angel is able to quickly identify any deficiencies and tailor his training program to improve them.

I participated in the High Definition Group with my daughter for a little over a year. Angel, the owner is a well versed, passionate trainer taking the time to educate you in nutrition and fitness. The best part of being a part of the community that he has put in place is the support. Angel takes the time to make sure that you are doing the exercises correctly to get the most out of the work out and to avoid injury. I never had anyone show me how to use equipment properly and it really makes all the difference. We had a celebration that Angel planned all on his own with the group and family and we had a blast celebrating our accomplishment and success. Angel will do whatever it takes to motivate you to keep moving.

My experience with High Definition Training has been amazing! Coach Angel immediately disarmed my fears with his calm and patient demeanor and by the end of the introductory session, I knew without a doubt that I had finally found the right program/coach for me. Angel, has a talent for meeting you exactly at your fitness level, his patience and kindness create such a supportive environment and his knowledge about building muscle strength and helping achieve a healthy lifestyle inspires confidence and motivation, which at over 50 plus I did not think I could achieve. After every session I feel truly energized and strong, he made me believe I could do it when I doubted myself, and I am so happy to have found and joined this incredible program!

With the right coaching, tools, and guidance at every step, I’ve been able to make real progress toward my goals. The community atmosphere is uplifting, and the group of ladies training together makes every session fun and motivating. Hands down, the best personal training in The Bronx!

Angel is the best!!! He’s literally the only thing that’s ever worked for me and fitness. I met him years ago when I was looking for a Personal Trainer. I had been through a few personal trainers already, which were not a good fit for me, but Angel was exactly what I needed . He pays meticulous attention to every detail. He watches every body movement and teaches you how to adjust to do the exercise properly. Anybody can put you on a machine and tell you to do 10 reps but he taught me much more. We had gotten to the point where I was in great shape and then I was diagnosed with cancer. Knowing I had upcoming surgery and a ling road after that, he worked with me even harder to get me as strong as possible going into surgery. Now a few years post cancer, I’m back with him on my fitness journey once again. This time I’m in a small group, which is absolutely perfect (And cost-effective). The small group is so encouraging and so supportive we are like family. And even though it’s a a group Angel is still able to keep an eye on everybody and adjust them throughout the sets as needed. He doesn’t miss a thing I am Forever grateful for all he’s taught me and continues to teach me.

“I’m 50 years old and have been training with Angel at High Definition Training for a couple of years now, and honestly, it’s been a game-changer. I came in with back and hip pain from old injuries and a car accident. Angel immediately noticed the muscle imbalances that were causing my issues and built workouts around them. Now my back pain is gone, I’ve lost 30 pounds, and I’m stronger than I’ve been in years. What I really love is how personal the coaching is. Angel pays attention to every detail, your form, how you’re moving, and how your body feels that day. He pushes you, but always safely. I used to “work out.” Now I actually train with purpose. I feel more confident, more disciplined, and like I’ve got my body back. If you’re over 40 or dealing with nagging injuries, I can’t recommend High Definition Training enough.”

My experience working with Angel has been extraordinary. When I first came to Him, I was in a lot of pain from a back injury and now I am stronger than ever. He takes perfect care in making sure that you are performing exercises correctly so that you don’t injure yourself and you maximize your potential. His workouts are dynamic and he’s always changing things up so that your muscles never get comfortable with your workout. Angel also provides guidance on healthy eating and good habits that will help you get to your goals. He is very professional, extremely knowledgeable and I’m so happy with the results that I’ve gotten from High Definition training and appreciate Angel‘s dedication to helping me and other women achieve their desired results.

I started training with Angel back in 2018, and right away I saw a difference in both my body and my weight. He truly knows how to create workouts that get results. Unfortunately, due to COVID and some personal health issues, I had to step away for a while. Recently, I realized that going to the gym on my own wasn’t helping. I often felt overwhelmed and intimidated by the machines, and I wasn’t seeing the progress I wanted. That’s when I decided to give Angel a call again in the first week of June—and I’m so glad I did! Working out with Angel has reminded me how effective and motivating personalized training can be. He meets you where you are, encourages you, and pushes you just enough to grow stronger each week. I already feel more confident, more energized, and finally back on track with my health goals. If you’re tired of feeling lost at the gym or need that extra push with real results, I highly recommend training with Angel. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and truly invested in his clients’ progress.

I joined Angel’s HDT in October 2024. My body feels stronger. Examples: carrying packages, going up and down stairs and getting up after sitting too long. My weight hasn’t gone down much. But, I haven’t really given it any focus. It’s my next step! Angel is very focused on giving our group their individual care especially new members. He always gives me options/ alternatives on specific exercises that won’t aggravate or further injure my right knee. Angel has a positive attitude and many stories to share. He encourages everyone to do their best. I’m glad I joined his program. Can’t wait to feel and see my future progress.

This review is long overdue. From day 1 of training with Angel Perez’s HDT program, I’ve have felt as I am about to describe. Weight training has been a dream of mine for several years now but I never really looked into it. But one day as I scrolled through instagram an advertisement popped up. A weight training program in my neighborhood! for women- (mature women)! it sounded perfect for me. All I needed was have the courage to call and make an appointment to meet the coach. I took the plunge and made one of the best decisions for my health in while. The coach, Angel Perez, immediately disarmed my fears with his calm and patient demeanor. By the end of the introductory session, which included some movement and flexibility test, I felt at ease that I had found the right program for me. I still feel that way 5 months into the training. Each time I head towards the training, I am hesitant to begin. It’s always a challenge. But Angel is engaged and active during the entire workout supporting each of the women in whatever particular adjustment we may need. Each time I leave I am praising “That was great”. And I feel physically and mentally stronger. I’m always thankful for the challenge and support that Angel presents us with. And I get to work among a great group of women. I recommend anyone looking to include an excellent HDT training program with a community that supports you, this is it. Try Angel Perez’s HDT program.

High Definition Training is one of the best exercise program in New York. Couch Angel is very knowledgeable at what he does. I’ve been to several personal training and exercise groups/programs that you don’t see results. That’s why I keep coming back to Angel. Other programs you are in severe pain next day. They don’t do proper warmups and cooldowns. The exercise doesn’t focus on mobility and getting you strong. I’ve recently started back with Angel and already I have lost weight, I feel the difference in my mobility, and I’m getting stronger. Plus he incorporates nutrition in his work out plan which is important as well. He is the best, the greatest I’ve seen. I highly recommend him to anyone for personal training. His program is worth it!

Angel's training system at HDT works for everyone. The workouts target core strength areas and start wherever you are at, so you can gradually build to your own individual goal; while working out with a team of others. Angel has eagle eyes and will watch you workout to ensure you stay challenged and safe throughout. I have worked with several other trainers with yelling and tons of reps but have only seen sustained results working with Angel. He provides a structured and supportive workout system to follow and also guides you with your diet. I went to HDT with a goal to lose weight and so far have lost approximately 60 lbs, which I could not have done without Angel's guidance and support. I highly recommend Angel and HDT to anyone interested in a longer and healthier life!

I love High Definition Training. I’ve been part of the program for 11 months. I get the best of both worlds. I get to experience small group training with the ability to have one on one mentoring sessions whenever I have any questions or concerns. Angel is great at sending materials that teach and encourage me on my journey to healthy living. It’s an all encompassing program that not only teaches me how to sculpt my body also helps me develop correct mental thinking habits to sustain the change.

I got sick & tired of being sick & tired so I searched for a trainer that could help me achieve my goals. A doctors visit also drove me to HDT fitness, in order to avoid surgery & increase mobility to the area of my body that needed it. I needed a professional with a strong work ethic, highly educated in fitness, flexible training hours (morning/evening) & I found all of that with coach Angel. I also appreciate the wealth of resources integrated into his program. The HDT website that is available with the membership is filled with helpful information like additional at home workouts, diets, grocery lists & more. I also chose to receive HDT emails that are pretty motivating. Also its great that in a group workout session, coach Angel is laser focused to all the attendees. He walks the room with intent, making sure that everyone's form is correct & addressing/adjusting exercises for those with problem areas & answering questions. Plus the crew of people in HDT are phenomenal! They're encouraging you along the way especially if you feel you are faltering & they also give tips when needed. I feel extremely lucky to have found HDT, I've avoided surgery, have an incredible fitness support system, & muscles to boot!!

First I'd like to say Angel is AMAZING! I been to different trainers and none of them compare. I remember when I started working out with Angel, I had only lost in the beginning just a few pounds, but EVERYONE thought I lost so much and I received so many compliments. Its as if he re-shapes you. I cant explain it. He is super knowledgeable and I like that he works with everyone, but works with you as an individual as well.
