Julia Halpin is a phenomenal trainer and is extremely knowledgeable about the body and post rehab training. I was paired up with Julia by Sara Dimmick a few years ago when I explained what I was looking for in a trainer. Julia is incredibly skilled and understands how to help build strength, while keeping me pain free. I’m so grateful to have found Julia and PE.

Sarah Currie, the nutritionist, provides personalized instruction suited to my individual preferences. She gives sound instruction and motivates me to lose weight.

The several years that I worked in the city, I trained with Sara twice a week to stay strong and flexible so that I could continue to do the things I love like play soccer with my kids and go on active vacations with my family. I have had some injuries in the past and Sara made sure that we are doing safe, effective exercises that target those weaknesses. I had a very hectic schedule, but I made sure to stick to my appointments because we got so much accomplished and I felt so much better after my appointments with Sara.

The team at PE are so knowledgeable and will customize a workout the meets your own special needs. I love them. You can't go wrong with anyone of the trainers.

The trainers here are excellent and the gym is top notch and beautiful. I've been strength training with Sara Dimmick as I train for running and triathlon. This has been game changing for my overall health and race performance.

"Sara Dimmick and Sarah Currie, my Physical Equilibrium personal trainers, completely changed the way I think about exercise and nutrition. What I thought would be preparing for a 200 mile cycling weekend with my family turned into a complete lifestyle change and a 25 pound weight loss! Without their guidance and support, I would not have been able to achieve the strength, flexibility and endurance levels that I did."

The Physical Equilibrium team is the best! Professional trainers with the right skill set to help me achieve my goals. And just as important, they are dependable, caring and fun.

Sara Dimmick and team at Physical Equilibrium are AMAZING! I ran my first marathon this past November in NYC. I had a very aggressive time goal and I am in my 40s - I wanted to accomplish my goal without getting injured. I was referred to Sara at Physical Equilibrium by another one of their clients. She became my marathon coach through the entire process.I worked with Sara over the many months of my training. I had an online schedule tailored just for me which included running plans, weights, cross training exercises. I met Sara in person monthly (at my choice) for adjustments in weights (form adjustment, etc). She was available through comments on Training Peaks (our training plan software) as well as via text, email and phone.

Always enjoy the strength-for-runners training sessions with Zach. He takes the time to explain how to get the best from the moves, and corrects for proper form when necessary. Highly recommend.

I've been strength training with Sara Dimmick, co-owner of Physical Equilibrium, for more than five years and it is a wonderful facility with fantastic instructors and equipment. I love it's small size ... definitely not a gym factory! Sara has over twenty years of experience and trains all types of athletes, in particular triathletes and marathoners. I'm an endurance cyclist and given my long hours on the bike, strength training is key to having a strong core for stability and of course lower and upper body strength to tackle the miles and the climbs. Sara also works extensively with clients with injury rehabilitation. The gym has a wonderful sunlit Pilates and yoga studio as well and private rooms for massage. I highly recommend Physical Equilibrium for its personalized service and extremely talented trainers!

I took a pilates class from Jesse and he was really great, it was like having a personal trainer in my home through zoom.He gave modifications to the exercises if they were too challenging for me and he explained and showed me how to do the exercises properly so I could maximize my workout.

I have joined the meditation class with Daniela Mattos-Turcinov few times and was AMAZING. Working full time on a very demanding job sometimes is difficult to find that little time to be "in the moment" and re-charge to continue moving on and I managed to get that joining the lunch time class. I will definitely be back for more!

Physical Equilibrium has top notch trainers in a well designed, pleasant and clean environment in Midtown. Boutique feeling with personal attention. They are centrally located but if you prefer, they also do house calls. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a personalized, results-driven approach.
Jaylon Brigham
Physical Equilibrium has been great for my physical and mental health. Through training with Zach M I have been able to strengthen my entire body and can feel the results every day! Zach challenges me during personal training workouts to push my boundaries while still maintaining safe bodily metrics. Thanks for making me feel so good!

“Transitioning patients to physical activity requires knowledge, patience and understanding. Physical Equilibrium not only rehabilitates people after an injury but also guides them from a sedentary to active lifestyle. Each patient receives an individualized program to assist in both physical and lifestyle goals. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”
Elise Weiss, M.D.
I love PE! Zach creates workouts that challenge me but are still manageable. He pushes me to try my hardest while emphasizing safety and injury prevention (so important for runners!). I have better upper body and core strength now. And I’ve been intimidated by Pilates in the past, but Amelia makes it accessible and fun! My posture has improved. I always leave PE feeling energized and excited and just the right amount of muscle soreness.

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!

I took a Pilates mat class with Jesse, and it was one of the best workouts I've been to in a while. Not too rushed, but not too slow — an intense workout that still doesn't leave you feeling burnt out. The facility is also really well kept and pleasant. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Incredible professionalism from the team at Physical Equilibrium. Have been working with Zachary Moxham for years now and can’t speak more highly on his work ethic and commitment to my health goals. 5 out of 5 highly recommend
Brennan Moxham
As a longtime client, I can honestly say that the trainers at Physical Equilibrium have changed my life. I have worked with Sara Dimmick, Sarah Currie and Eve Josephson over the years, and all are first rate. I truly believe Physical Equilibrium has some of the best trainers in New York City. The gym is located in midtown Manhattan and is very convenient to public transportation. It is a beautiful, light-filled space that feels very private. The trainers provide very personalized attention; everyone is there to work and to support one another. When I am there, I have none of the usual feelings of self-consciousness that I have experienced at other gyms.When I first started working with Sara Dimmick, I was a newbie to fitness. I had purchased memberships to various gyms throughout New York City, but I would either never go or I would quit within a couple of months. Sara started out by teaching me to incorporate strength training into my weekly routine. She developed a plan that kept me interested and motivated -- and because it fit with my existing lifestyle, it was sustainable. Before I knew it, I had lost weight and my cholesterol was way down -- all through exercise alone. After experiencing some health issues a few years ago, I did a good deal of research into the importance of diet and exercise in disease prevention and cure. I learned that a healthy lifestyle is the key to everything. I wanted to step it up a notch, so I again turned to Sara Dimmick and her partner, Sarah Currie. They helped me to prioritize myself and my health through a program of good nutrition, cardio and increased strength training -- with the added bonus of stress relief, a natural result of the exercise. This helped me tremendously. When the pandemic hit, Physical Equilibrium provided a seamless transition from in-person training sessions to virtual sessions via Zoom, which kept me from going off the rails during a time when it would have been easy to do so. As a result, I kept up my routine and stayed fit even during that difficult time. I feel very fortunate to have found Physical Equilibrium and cannot say enough about the trainers and their level of expertise and commitment. I am a believer.

The diverse background Sara has from her professional dancing, to her fitness knowledge, and her triathlon coaching makes her an exceptional trainer. She understands what clients need and takes the time to develop individual programs that suit their special situations. Her philosophy of combining cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility conditioning to progress the client towards a balanced and healthy body is one that I can recommend.

I like Physical Equilibrium, the facility is great and staff are nice and professional. I have been taking Meditation for Profesionals with Daniela and it has been a wonderful experience, it is super relaxing and amazing class, exactly what I need in the middle of my crazy busy week, this class is perfect to balance my mind and body. Daniela is great instructor, she is very knowledgeable and has a great energy. I totally recommend it!
Sofia Jaimes
It took me a lot of trial and error to find a place like PE and a trainer like Julia Halpin.If you like when a trainer is really, really listening to you both when it comes to goals and session-to-session, she’s the best! I started with her this summer with a clear set of baseline strength challenges (I got tired from holding my niece), and I have felt so much progress in my goals! She’s developed programs that are VERY different to stuff I’ve done in the past and I think it really speaks to the level of personalization you get from a true professional in their field when it’s the quickest I’ve ever seen results.I also appreciate her more thoughtful demeanor because if you’re thinking about doing personal training and worried someone is gonna yell at you or “push you,” when you really want someone who acts somewhere between partner and a coach, she’s the one!
Sharifa Monawer
I hate working out. I took a 7:30am Pilates class here with Cherry the instructor and it kicked my ass and made me feel so great the rest of the day. I haven't gone back yet but I check out the schedule all the time. The staff was all so nice. I saw a few people working out with personal trainers - seems like a really safe and nurturing place. I didn't feel uncomfortable or judged like I do when I go to some other "fancy" gyms like this one. Seems like a group of people who care about their bodies, and who have fun. Oh oh also SUPER nice changing and shower facilities! Free yoga mats (don't have to rent). Also the studio was small and they said they don't ever let the classes feel crowded so I liked that too. I will definitely go back.

I could not be more grateful to Dean Geller as a personal trainer! I started working with Dean as a post-rehab trainer, coming out of PT after my 2nd shoulder surgery. He has done an incredible job keeping me on track, progressing safely and at exactly the right pace for me. He thoughtfully plans each session, but is quick to adapt and truly tuned into what’s best in the moment. I always look forward to our sessions, and it feels amazing to be getting so strong in a safe, fun and sustainable way. I would highly recommend Dean for personal training.
Janet Robusto
Working with Claire to dial in my nutrition has been immensely beneficial to not only my training and race performance, but my overall health as well! By focusing on the “fourth discipline” of triathlon with Claire, I’ve been able to attack longer distance events and improve times across all three legs of the triathlon. Thanks to the fueling plans we’ve worked on in our sessions, I am always confident that my body will have the fuel it needs to push for the extra pace or distance I want on my long training runs and rides. Claire obviously knows the science behind fueling for performance, but is also very knowledgable about many of the products on the market as an endurance athlete herself, which I’ve found invaluable as I navigate the many offerings out there!

Went here after I tweaked my back playing tennis and Sara the owner was amazing at getting me back to 100%

The trainers at physical equilibrium are amazing! They are very precise and have gotten me through multiple orthopedic issues over the years. My strength has increased and they are continuously challenging me and helping me become stronger and leaner.
Jacki Maese
I am very happy to recommend Physical Equilibrium and to share my experience of joy and relief after the classes I attended, I m very close to the due date in my pregnancy and i could never imagine that my body was able to do so many exercise , feeling powerful and in shape as my weight has not change, it has felt healthy and magical. i am very thankful to Julia the personal trainer I worked out with and to Sara who is very experienced as a trainer and as a mom so that she could lead me and explain a lot about my physical changes. both teachers have the necessary grit and enthusiasm to inspire and stimulate in order to feel pleasure with really little effort in every movement.. thank you
Maria Barberi
Training pros! In NYC for work and booked a training session with Sarah C. She reset my form for deadlifts, pull-ups and squats. Will definitely book again.
