Malik Coleman, 43, has run the same small training studio for a dozen years and knows most of his clients' schedules better than his own. He's soft-spoken and affectionate, the kind of person who remembers small details about your week and asks about them without making a show of it. His humor is gentle, never at anyone's expense. He's romantic in a patient, old-fashioned way — no grand gestures, just consistency. Mornings before the studio opens are his; he meditates on the roof deck with coffee, and he's mentioned it enough times that it isn't really a secret anymore.
