Fitness Spotlight: Harry Hanson
We catch up with celebrity fitness trainer and author of Get Your Rear in Gear, Harry Hanson, to see what's shaking.

How He’s Making a Fitter New York

I have three locations below 14th St. where we’ve been helping people get in shape for over 20 years. We structure workouts based on the individual goals and objectives of each client, and we help them achieve those goals. I’ve also written a book called, Get Your Rear in Gear with some simple nutritional guidelines and plenty of exercises you can do at home or at the gym. It’s really a book to help people get off the couch and get in shape. It’s a great read, it’s easy to do, and it produces results because it’s the same way I personally train all of my clients.

What’s New

Right now, we’re training Lisa Loeb, for a reality show on the E! channel. We’re doing 8 weeks of shooting in the gym, so that’s been fun and exciting. And it may have something to do with that, but I was also voted the celebrity fitness trainer of the year by MSNBC. It’s definitely cool to get that kind of recognition, but I’m just trying to do what I do every day, which is personal training and helping my clients really get in shape. It’s just as exciting to help Lisa get her life and her body back in shape.

Something I’ve been working towards for a while is improving the standards of personal training. I mean, you really only have to pass a short test to call yourself a “Certified Personal Trainer.” So we’re launching a program where we’ll be the first company that’s licensed by the New York State Department of Education to certify personal trainers through our own intensive specialized method.

And I’m developing a software-driven product right now, called the Nutribowl, which is going to help people really keep tabs on their weight. It’s revolutionary. It’s going to change the way people think about nutrition, and how they track their calories, their carbohydrates, their iron, and their potassium every single day. It’s going to be a whole new way of looking at it.

How He Stays in Shape

I stay fit by lifting weights every single day, by running on the treadmill every single day, and training Ju Jitsu every single day. I’m motivated to do the training and the cardio because I compete in Ju Jitsu tournaments. I’m a goal-oriented person, so that’s what motivates me to keep training at a high level. If I have something that I’m working towards, then it’s easier for me to achieve it, and easier to do it at that high level of intensity. And the harder I train, the harder I work towards training other people. So If I fall off, and I’m not training as hard, and I’m not focusing on my own fitness—and you’ll find this with most trainers—once the intensity goes down, it really translates into the training your giving clients.

That’s why I make sure that my own workout stays as consistent as the ones I’m providing for my clients. I think that’s the key. That’s the formula for me. Every single time I walk in here, and every single time you come in here, you know you’re going to get a great workout.

Editorial Review

With 20 years experience in the field, Harry Hanson continues to aim his expertise in personal training at toning the people of Lower Manhattan. Harry, the author of Get Your Rear in Gear and MSNBC’s celebrity trainer of the year in 2004, heads up three premier training facilities. Each of these high-ceiling lofts is stocked with anample mixture of strength and cardio equipment. Plenty of space and sunlight contribute to his studios’ warm and inviting environment. It’s the perfect spot to shed some pounds, tone up, or increase your strength. If it’s up to the standards of Julia Roberts, Tom Cruise, and Tyra Banks (some of Hanson’s former clients), it’s certainly worth looking into.

While the facilities are hospitable, and resume of clients, their true strength is in the experience of their staff. Don’t be fooled by fitness centers that advertise certified, fully insured trainers as their selling point. If you can read, you can pass the personal training certification test. Expect to find a higher standard of quality at Hanson Fitness. Each of the 26 personal trainers is personally hand-picked by Harry Hanson for their extensive backgrounds in athletics and training. In fact, the day we dropped by, Harry and five of the staff trainers were preparing for a grappling tournament. You won’t find any creampuffs on this staff, just hard-working trainers who actually dedicate their lives to practicing what they preach.

With personalized routines for each client, Hanson Fitness keeps the focus on individual results and motivation. They’ll work with you towards whatever goals you may have. Whether you need them to set up simple nutritional guidelines, or train you for a specific sporting competition, they’ll get you to the next level. In constant training for their own events, Hanson Fitness is staffed with the kind trainers you can count on to bring you up to speed for yours. And if you’re trying to work on some problem areas (especially your rear-end—heck, Harry wrote the book on it), say goodbye to the cellulite, because Hanson Fitness will get you results. You don’t have to be a movie star to look like one.
