​Personal Trainer in New York City Parks

If you enjoy training outdoors and want to work with a personal trainer who brings world-class fitness and longevity coaching to the best parks in New York City, I am here to help. My name is Alex Folacci, and I am a certified personal trainer, two-time national decathlon champion of France, and one of the most sought-after private coaches for high-performing men over 35 in New York.

Training in NYC’s parks allows for fresh air, natural light, and a break from crowded gyms. I design high-performance workouts that take advantage of these beautiful spaces while delivering the same structure, precision, and results as an indoor session. Whether it is strength training, mobility work, fat loss, or cardiovascular conditioning, your program will be personalized and adapted to your environment.

Since 2015, I have trained over 500 private clients in Manhattan, including many who prefer to train outdoors in places like:

• Central Park (Great Lawn, Sheep Meadow, The Mall)

• Hudson River Park (West Village to Tribeca waterfront)

• Riverside Park (Upper West Side)

• Madison Square Park (Flatiron District)

• Union Square Park (Downtown)

• Carl Schurz Park (Upper East Side)

• East River Park (Lower East Side)

• Battery Park (Financial District)

• Bryant Park (Midtown)

​​

Whether we meet near the trees in Central Park, the river views in Hudson Yards, or the quiet corners of Gramercy, I will bring the plan and the equipment directly to you. These parks offer the perfect setting for functional movement, dynamic strength training, interval-based cardio, and breathwork.

I build every session around your specific goals. Whether you want to lose 30 pounds, gain muscle, improve posture, reduce stress, or restore energy, I create a structured and progressive training program that fits your needs and lifestyle. With a background as a world-class decathlete, I design programs that are efficient, athletic, and safe for long-term progress.

I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Exercise Science, and I coach with a deep understanding of biomechanics, recovery, and performance psychology. My clients include executives, entrepreneurs, physicians, attorneys, and public figures who rely on their bodies and minds to operate at a high level every day.

In addition to physical training, I also provide longevity and biohacking coaching as part of my service. I work in collaboration with Dr. Kuo, founder of Extension Health, a leading longevity clinic in New York. We help clients optimize hormone levels, improve sleep, reduce inflammation, and support metabolic health for better long-term results.

In 2024, I tied the New York State bench press record, competing drug-free. I’ve been featured in Sports Illustrated, Business Insider, and DailyMail, and maintain a 5-star reputation among NYC’s most driven and successful men.

Training outdoors is not just about fresh air. It’s about tapping into a more natural rhythm, expanding your movement capacity, and building strength in real-world environments. I will help you make every session effective, efficient, and personally rewarding, no matter the location.
