Pre-COVID: So I actually came here by accident. I was looking for a yoga class through ClassPass and read the following description for the Strength Basics Class with Sara: "Geared towards those new to exercise, resuming after a layoff, or coming back after an injury...you will be working on perfecting your form and your foundation of strength". And I loved the class even though it wasn't yoga. There's some mat work, some barre band work, some light weights. I actually really enjoyed the pace, as much as I love pushing myself till I'm dead the focus on form is so important, especially because I am one of those people who had an injury. The class size was also great - just 5 people! It was easy to get personalized attention in that setting. And the music wasn't blasting. Really, all great things. They have key pad lockers, showers, and mats for you to use - I love that I didn't have to carry anything extra with me. Also a water cooler in case you like to travel so light you didn't even bring a water bottle. This is a gem that works with whatever level your at and offers you personalized oversight to build lasting exercise habits centered around good form. I can't wait to come back! read more

Love the people who run this place; their skill sets and sensitivities, their professionalism, humor, and facilities. I am in the best shape that I've ever been. Totally Great! read more

My teenage daughter and I both had amazing personal training sessions with Jesse. He clearly had advanced expertise / knowledge, and gave us highly personalized experiences. Scheduling was also very easy and well facilitated. We couldn't recommend anyone more! read more

Beautiful space, excellent equipment and the best trainer I've ever worked with (Sarah Currie)!

Being a Professional Weightlifter, I have experienced a variety of gym atmospheres. Training at physical equilibrium is unlike any other experience. The one on one attention and support is very motivating. Trainers and teachers are knowledgeable about the body, recovery processes and really help you to achieve Your fitness goals. In an industry filled with gimmicks and cookie cutter approaches to wellness and fitness, this is certainly a place that rises above the pack to provide an unmatchable service at a price that can't be beat. Dollar for dollar this is the most worthy investment. read more

I have been working with Julia for several years now and she is excellent at designing a strength training program that challenges me but takes into account my injuries and limitations. Even virtually Julia notices and tweaks my improper form so I can get stronger and avoid injury. Julia is an awesome trainer who really cares about her clients' well-being and goals! I have also worked with Sarah Currie on my nutrition plan and she is very patient, helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the science of eating to maximize your energy and performance. I always feel so comfortable talking about my issues and concerns with Sarah to create a game plan that will work for me. Sara Dimmick's Strength Training Zoom classes are awesome and you don't feel like you are in a group setting. I highly recommend Physical Equilibrium to get you through the pandemic! read more

I tried Yoga classes in the past, and as a beginner I found them to large and never went back. I tried a yoga class, at Physical Equilibrium, with Nicholas and enjoyed it very much. The class was small and the instructor was able to go around the studio and correct our form. As I beginner this was helpful. I going back for my third class. Two thumbs up Nicholas . Anne W read more

I had never employed a trainer before because I didn't want to be hounded to workout. I am motivated enough but after re-injuring my knee while training for my first Ironman, I realized that I needed help. Sara helped me work back from the injury and got me ready for my race. Just weeks before race day I had a bike accident and separated my shoulder. Because of the training we did before my accident and then some very concentrated training in those last few weeks I was able to not only compete but compete well! Sara and her team at Physical Equilibrium are fantastic! She works with me at my pace and yet pushes me too. I highly recommend her team to anyone! read more

I randomly found this place on yelp 2 years back. It was a great find! I interacted with Sarah initially who helped me identify my fitness goals and partnered me with the right trainer. I got partnered with Jessica D and did 12 sessions 2 summers ago, and 15 sessions this past summer.Jessica is a great trainer and really keeps you engaged and educated about working out/fitness. For me I needed assistance to get to my fitness goals. Physeq was the perfect place. I would highly recommend it to anyone I know! read more

I started taking gyrotonics a few months ago at Physical Equilibrium upon the advice of my physician (I have several herniated & bulging discs). There is already a noticeable difference in my pain management, posture, and range of motion. My trainer Amanda is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. She explains every motion and guides me throughout the entire session. Highly recommend. read more

I love this place. I redeemed my Fitness Access pass a few months ago and I can't wait to come back! Unfortunately, while my heart (and hips) say yes, my bank account says no ): (Their prices are by all means fair and comparable to other personal training gyms just FYI) I initially emailed Sara and received a response within 20 minutes. TWENTY. No gym, trainer, family member even, has responded that quickly. And it wasn't some carbon copy response. She was happy to honor my voucher (A+), told me to pick a time and day and gave me three trainers to choose from (A+++) The trainer's name escapes me at the moment but she was great! We worked on my upper body, as requested and at the end, was the most amazing stretching session of my life. The gym was immaculate. There's lockers, showers, towels, water. What more could you want? read more

Beautiful space with diverse range of equipment. I highly recommend the classes (both cardio and yoga) and am looking forward to trying a personal training session. read more

The two Sara's, the owners are very accommodating and professional. You get a lot of personal attention because the classes are small. Cherry has a really challenging Pilates class. She works you hard but she cares and is very dedicated. Shirley's toning and stretching classes were very beneficial for me. She really knows how to stretch out the body and relieve pain through hands on bodywork.The only waste of time and money was working with this personal trainer. He no longer works there. He thought that his poop didn't stink because he was a bodybuilder and an amateurish actor. I could tell he was very disdainful of me and did not want to be there. read more

I truly love this place and would recommend it to anyone. I have a pretty busy schedule and whenever I bought a gym membership in the past, I found myself canceling about a month later because I wouldn't go. I've never considered myself an active person and felt pretty intimidated whenever I would walk into a gym because I wasn't sure what to do and was too consumed with the thought that people were watching me do everything wrong. I found Physical Equilibrium on Yelp while considering signing up for yet another gym membership. After researching a number of places, I visited in-person one evening and met with Shirley, who is an absolute gem. She answered every question I had, was extremely nice to me, and helped put all of my concerns at ease. At first, I was intimidated by the prices being that my pockets are far from "deep," but that very night, I signed up for my first class and I am so glad that I did. After I took my first few classes, I realized that the price is totally worth it and definitely an investment I was willing to incorporate into my life. The classes are super fun and the instructors I have had a chance to meet with (Shirley, Nick, and Julia) are knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. I have only participated in the group classes, but I LOVE them. The classes are not cluttered which allows for the instructors to interact more personally with each person. At Physical Equilibrium, it is clear that quality matters most. The classes are just an hour, but I always have so much fun that I wish they were longer. Ever since forever, I have always dreaded anything involving physical activity (ex: gym class...a true nightmare I am glad I never have to revisit). For the first time in my life, I actually feel super excited to be physically active and always look forward to signing up for my next class. If my availability would allow me to, I'd be taking classes every day. Not only am I having fun, but I am also learning workouts and techniques I can do on my own to reach my goal and avoid hurting myself through trial and error. I am very happy that I found this place and I look forward to signing up to many many more classes in the near future. I definitely recommend trying at least one class - 100%! read more

When I realized I had taken over 180 classpass classes, was training with a trainer, and running on my own time seeing little results, sustained an injury, on top of a childhood injury that resulted in tendonitis still pursiing daily bootcamp classes in which did not have teachers who were aware of proper injury modifications, I knew it was time for a change! I was determined to find something that was better suited for me and my fitness routine! I searched diligently for a gym or trainer looking for something so specific you would think it didn't exist. I hoped to find a trainer that was educated in post-rehab, experienced in running and run coaching, personal treatment plans for weight training and just an all around support without all of the glam. Just REAL strengthening, real changes, real knowledge and real people! Sara and Sarah have created something truly amazing! I am pleased to have crossed paths with them and Physical Equilibrium. I genuinely believe they have changed my life, considering I can not only walk with out pain but I can RUN and just ran my first HALF with the support and motivation of Sara! In addition, the space is AWESOME! Clean, new and welcoming. They offer supportive and safe classes including yoga, pilates and bootcamp classes! :) If you are looking for results, good people, and overall support in whatever goals you hope to accomplish, Physical Equilibrium is your place! See you there! read more

If you hate the idea of working out in a crowded gym, fighting with arrogant men over the barbells, or getting yelled at by a drill sergeant-like trainer, try Physical Equilibrium! These ladies will challenge you by guiding you through a customized workout in a private gym. They are smart, encouraging and very knowledgeable. They are patient enough to help someone just learning weight training and experienced enough to coach triathletes. They offer nutritional counseling and outdoor workouts as well. I always look forward to my workouts there! read more

Great boutique facility. Super clean and friendly front desk staff!

I made an appointment with trainer Julia Halpin using my NY Fitness Passbook last week and had a great workout at Lift gym. Julia was down to earth and non-judgmental. She led me through a varied workout that included hills on the treadmill, stairs, core workout circuits, and weight machines all while making sure I was maintaining proper form. The gym was quiet, and fairly basic, but did the job. The locker room was clean and the showers were stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. They even had blow dryers and towels for your use. The process of setting up an appointment was easy and Sara was very communicative via email about what I would need to bring and any other instructions. I'm not looking to start a personal training program right now, but if I was, I would strongly consider working with Julia. read more

The Saturday workout class in Central Park is awesome, like no other class in NYC! And Sarah D. is such a great trainer, she will work every muscle of your body and you won't even know until the next day! Try this class, you won't regret it! Quite a change from the dull gyms with no windows!!! read more

I have taken many of Sara's outdoor classes and stroller workouts. I love them. She sets the pace that's right for you, I never feel like it's too much and I am always a little sore the next day. I've always been nervous to work this closely (small group) with a trainer because I feel as if he/she might judge me or yell at me to do more, glad Sara is not like that! read more

After a lifetime of playing sports and enduring multiple injuries I was in need of focus and guidance for my workouts. Physical Equilibrium was recommended to me and I would recommend these trainers to everyone. They are personable, knowledgeable and will take the time to get to know you and your body. They have locations in the city and the Hamptons and are super responsive to emails. FIVE stars to Physical Equilibrium read more

I have done personal training with Sara for about 3 years. Sara's approach is inspiring because she is tough AND kind - so I end up feeling great physically and mentally. She expects a lot and works me hard (which I love), but in a way that is relaxed enough that my workouts are fun, too (even better). She has a keen sense of how to challenge me, and she is always changing the workouts, incorporating everything from Pilates to yoga to dance in addition to more traditional fitness exercises like weight training and cardio workouts. She even gave me specific stretches to help my scoliosis. I worked out with her twice a week before my sister's wedding, and I loved how I looked and felt in my strapless dress, having lost 8 pounds and gaining muscle tone! Sara and Physical Equilibrium get my highest recommendation - I actually enjoy working out now, and I've seen the results. I also highly recommend the Central Park Workout - a fantastic class in the middle of the park. read more

I just started working with Sara and Physical Equilibrium, and the difference is astounding. Just a few months of having a personalized program has done more for my overall health and appearance than years of going to a regular gym. I recommend it to anyone who is truly committed to living a healthier lifestyle. read more

I had the good fortune of finding Physical Equilibrium this past January. Sara immediately responded to my email requesting information and thoroughly answered every question I asked. Her attention to detail went above and beyond the norm then and continues to this day. After having a meeting with her, she paired me with Jessica Desmond. I came in a runner with muscular imbalances, old nagging injuries and occasional pain. Over the past 6 months Jessica has realigned my body so I never run in pain anymore. Never. She's strengthened, stretched and motivated me to a reach a level I would never have been able to achieve on my own. Throughout my training Sara followed up to see how things were going and made it clear she was available if I ever needed anything. I can't recommend her gym (and Jessica!) enough. read more

Love them! I've been working out with Physical Equilibrium for over 10 years - their trainers are terrific - knowledgeable, motivating, fun, and always able to offer alternatives/modifications to accommodate your level. Their classes are awesome, too!! read more

Sara Dimmick and her staff are highly motivated and encouraging to develop a personalized training and nutrition program. They are easily accessible and their results are awesome!! read more

Sara's stroller workout class saved me after my son was born! I was able to get back in shape while having fun without having to worry about childcare. The new studio is incredible -- high tech and clean. I love the classes! read more

Absolute pros. I have done both the Central Park group training and private training. The trainers at this gym have Master's degrees. They didn't learn how to be trainers a few months ago at your local gym. They know what they are doing and not only will you get a good workout, you'll do it in a way that you won't hurt yourself. The Central Park workouts are fun and safe. You wouldn't catch me with one of those boot camp sergeants who are yelling at you at the top of their lungs but paying absolutely no attention to your form. Our bodies have to last a long time. If you're going to do a strenuous workout with a trainer or coach, you better be with someone who knows what they're doing. I have always worked with Sara D who is amazing. However, I am sure the other trainers are great because Sara is one of the owners and her standards are obviously high. read more

Physical Equilibrium = Results! I discovered PE early in the summer and was just testing it out as a possible means of mixing up my normally boring gym routine and runs in Central Park. I am now completely hooked and only wish my work scheduled was more flexible so that I could go to their classes more often. Their trainers rock! They are knowledgeable, helpful and motivating. I'll definitely be sad when summer and the classes come to an end. read more

I was referred to Sarah Currie at Physical Equilibrium after a labrum tear in my hip had me limping around the city. It was miserable. I had to stop running for nearly a year. She assessed and put me back together again way better than she originally found me. We focused on healing and core strength and took it slow - before I knew it I was jogging then running again...and a much more confident athlete. I highly recommend her and the team - they have great energy, no egos and are very talented at what they do. read more

When I moved to New York a couple months ago, a friend suggested I work out with Sara instead of a regular gym. It was a decision that changed my life! The time that I have spent working with Sara has improved every part of day. I'm more rested in the morning, more alert at work, and always in good spirits. Plus, I'm healthier than I've ever been before. Now, when I walk by a Crunch or NYSC I just laugh! read more

If you are serious about getting into shape, Physical Equilibrium is the place for you. I have been training with Sara D. for several years. As a result I am in better shape now at age 40 then I was in my 20s. Sara is an outstanding trainer who focuses on overall health and fitness. I have worked with several of the other trainers as well, including Sarah C., who is also excellent. I have never been disappointed. They are all top notch - serious, professional and dedicated to helping their clients succeed. I highly recommend Physical Equilibrium to everyone who will listen -- family, friends and colleagues. read more

I jumped from gym to gym when I first moved to NY, but I found Sara at a friend's recommendation and haven't looked back. All gyms have trainers, but Physical Equilibrium is the only one I've found with a such a personal and customized experience. The results have been amazing! read more
