NYC Gym CEO Caught in Profanity-Laden Dispute Over Unleashed Dog

Celebrity trainer Matt Sauerhoff was filmed berating neighbor Eddie Huang during a heated argument in their Manhattan apartment building lobby.

Matt Sauerhoff, founder of The LIV Method fitness center, was recorded in a heated altercation with author and celebrity chef Eddie Huang on February 22, 2025, in their shared Manhattan apartment building.
The dispute began when Huang asked Sauerhoff to leash his dog after it startled Huang and his Doberman while they were sitting outside the building.
Sauerhoff refused to leash his dog, leading to a confrontation that escalated with Sauerhoff shouting profanities and demanding that Huang leave the property, despite Huang being a resident.
Huang documented the incident on TikTok and his Substack, highlighting Sauerhoff's behavior and noting that New York City law requires dogs to be leashed in public spaces.
Sauerhoff has not publicly commented on the incident, while Huang expressed hope that the situation is resolved but noted ongoing tension between the two neighbors.
