Train With Paytra

Hi! Paytra here — your friendly local fitness coach! My philosophy is that fitness should be FUN! I credit my high energy and pep-talk-filled workouts with creating a healthy and motivational environment for my clients. My coaching style is relaxed, confident, and challenging— so you'll be laughing and smiling while also cursing me for making you do another set of burpees (wink wink). I believe in being accessible to clients… my work doesn't stop at the gym. I'm always a text or call away about any fitness or nutrition related questions.

I am also a professional performer, dancer, and singer— and that truly has shaped my training practice and approach. As someone who constantly needs to be at peak performance, I thrive with helping my clients find confidence and drive in their daily lives and creating a realistic program to help them achieve their goals.

I began my journey 10 years ago, working in a commercial gym setting. From teens and young professionals, to older adults and the special needs population— I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds! From there, I began building my own private clientele, and truly found my passion in helping them lose weight, correct injuries, and share my passion of weight training, circuit training, and HIIT with them!

In my free time, you'll find me walking my Frenchie to Carl Schurz park, writing music in my home studio, or performing in the lower east side!

Whether you're training for a marathon, want to correct a lower back injury through exercise, have a teen or child who needs a little extra push, or simply want a kick-ass workout while keeping it fun — I'm here for you!
