"Well Built Strength is the best gym in the Carlyle neighborhood. The gym is the creation of Alex K, Alex A and James. They have created a professional but relaxed atmosphere. They are professionals and able to help beginners, those wishing to lift competitively and everyone in between. They offer individual and small group instruction. I have been working with James for 2+ years. He is a consummate professional and has helped me achieve all my training goals. If you are serious about getting in shape, in a relaxed small group environment with expert advice close at hand and minimal wait times for equipment then Well Built Strength is the place for you."

"The moment you walk in the door at Wellbuilt Strength, you know you are in a gem of a gym. It is sparkling clean and well-appointed, the layout is well thought out. When I've been there, I've seen people from every age group and ability level, from those receiving consultation for rehab of an injury, to those who are training for a weightlifting competition. Partners Alex and Alex set the tone you want in a space like this -- one where wellness is the ideal, and the community of people who gather are serious about their workouts, but still kind and considerate of one another. They are an incredible duo -- amazingly knowledgeable, approachable, and pretty much always there to help or offer advice if and when you need it."

"I’ve been coming to Wellbuilt since December 2023 to keep up my progress after finishing physical therapy for knee pain, and it’s been fantastic. The staff are welcoming, knowledgeable, and really take the time to understand your needs. I never feel out of place, and the support has made it much easier to stay consistent. The space is clean, well-equipped, and not overwhelming. Also, I’ve learned a lot from my trainer, Alex Karaer, as she has provided a personalized goal-oriented fitness environment for me, and others, focused on understanding your body, not just doing an exercise. As a bonus: they have cute dogs that sometimes hangout and say hello during your workout!"
