Sara and her team are the best trainers in the city. I’ve tried many over the years, and none surpass their level of expertise and professionalism. If you’re looking for results - whether you’re an endurance athlete, runner/triathlete, longtime gym-goer, or just getting started on your fitness journey - you’ll see real improvement towards your goals.

Sara is incredibly knowledgeable and knows how to push you to improve while still making you feel safe and supported. I originally went to her while dealing with a marathon training injury, and she helped me rehab effectively while also building the foundational strength I needed to get stronger overall. Her approach combines strength training for runners with Pilates-based core work, and it has made a huge difference in how strong and supported I feel. For runners and triathletes, she also creates training programs that support your goals outside of the gym.

The other trainers are also super friendly, skilled, and encouraging. Besides personal training, they offer Lift Club classes on weeknights and weekends with max 4 people, so it feels like semi-private training. You get a great workout along with form correction and individual attention. Shoutout to Farrel for an awesome Saturday morning class!

On top of that, the facility itself is great: a nice building, a clean space, and amenities like showers and lockers. I’m so grateful I found this place and have the chance to work with such an amazing group of trainers. Thank you Sara and team!

I do Pilates with Chrissy for the past 18 months. She is such a great teacher and an incredible human being. She really helps her clients because she cares. The pilates has changed my life. The facility is very clean and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend Chrissy for your Palates experience.

This is a review of Chrissy Schultz….a seriously great Pilates instructor at Physical Equilibrium. I do a lot of different sports and workouts…but…for a long time…was reluctant to try pilates. I dove in with private sessions with Chrissy. I have really gotten so much out of them….core…flexibility and strength. Chrissy really pushes you in a good way. She is very keen on appropriate form, and she is always mixing it up to keep it interesting. This has helped me tremendously for all of the active things that I do and want to keep doing.

I went from casually running 2 miles twice a week—with a 5K being my longest race—to completing the NYC Marathon in just seven months. In March 2025, I committed to running the marathon while fundraising for Red Door Community, a nonprofit cancer support organization. Knowing I needed expert guidance, I reached out to Sara Dimmick of Physical Equilibrium and signed up for her online coaching program, with a few in-person sessions at her clean, bright, and welcoming gym.
Sara crafted a personalized training plan that went far beyond running—it included cross-training, core work, and strength training, all tailored to my needs and schedule. Her approach was balanced, effective, and encouraging. I could feel myself getting stronger week by week, and the progress was evident.
Crossing the finish line of the NYC Marathon was one of the most incredible accomplishments of my life, and I truly credit Sara’s coaching and support for helping me get there.

Physical Equilibrium has made me more comfortable and confident in the gym. The gym itself is a great space and overall very friendly environment.

I’ve been working with Kendra Madigan since the summer and can’t recommend her enough! I came to her looking to get back in shape. She assessed my goals and where my body was and put me on a plan that has me feeling stronger and more aware of my body and how to train it. Each workout is different with a combination of weights and treadmill to focus on a range of muscles. I consistently learn new exercises and am able to apply them on my own in between sessions.

Kendra is also incredibly nice and encouraging which makes our sessions a highlight of my mornings!

Response from the owner 13:50 25 Nov 24

Kathleen thank you so much for the wonderful review and sharing your experience at our personal training gym! It’s amazing to hear how much progress you’ve made with Kendra since the summer. Her thoughtful approach to creating personalized plans and introducing a variety of exercises is what makes her such an exceptional trainer.We’re thrilled that you’re not only feeling stronger but also gaining valuable knowledge to support your training independently.

I have been seeing Eve at Physical Equilibrium for a few years now and have never felt better. The workouts she puts together are challenging but fun, and she varies them every few weeks. I used to dread going to a trainer and now look forward to my 2x a week. I feel the strongest I've ever been. The gym is also very conveniently located, with great equipment.

Response from the owner 13:48 25 Nov 24

Kendra Madigan is a total game-changer! She got me into the best shape of my life for my son’s wedding over a year and a half ago, and I'm still training with her today! Her workouts are always different, keeping me engaged and challenged in the best way. Kendra's attention to my form and posture makes a huge difference in how I feel day to day, and it's helped me see amazing results. Her advice on nutrition and wellness ties everything together perfectly. If you're serious about your goals, I can’t recommend Kendra enough!"

I’ve been working with Sara for 2 years now. When we first started working together, I was starting basically from scratch, returning from injury. Since I’ve been training with Sara, I’ve finished multiple half marathons, Philadelphia’s Broad Street Run, and my first full marathon this past January! Most recently, I ran a personal best by over 15 minutes in the half marathon, all due to her guidance! As a masters runner, I’ve been able to keep achieving goal after goal without injury with Sara’s plans. Her training plans are well rounded, including plenty of cross training and strength training. She listens to me and helps tailor my program to what I need! I’m so grateful for Sara’s guidance in achieving running goals I never thought possible for myself!!

Response from the owner 12:25 21 Oct 24

Thank you so much, Lauren, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear about your incredible progress over the past two years, from returning from injury to smashing your personal best in the half marathon by 15 minutes! Sara and the Physical Equilibrium team are passionate about helping athletes like you achieve their goals, and we're glad the well-rounded training plans have kept you strong and injury-free. It’s inspiring to see your dedication pay off, especially as a masters runner. We look forward to helping you reach even more milestones in the future—congratulations on all your achievements! Keep up the amazing work!

I couldn’t have completed my Ironman without Sara’s incredible guidance and support. When we first started working together, I honestly didn’t think I’d be able to pull it off. Her belief in me, paired with her detailed and structured training plans, pushed me to achieve more than I thought possible. She knew exactly when to push harder and when to focus on recovery, always tailoring everything to my specific needs. Sara’s expertise, encouragement, and unwavering dedication made all the difference, and I’m beyond grateful to have had her in my corner throughout this journey!!!

Response from the owner 22:05 01 Oct 24

Thank you so much, Daniel, for your kind words! It has been an absolute privilege to be part of your Ironman journey, and I’m incredibly proud of everything you’ve accomplished. From day one, you’ve shown determination and grit, and it’s been amazing to see how far you’ve come. I’m so glad the training plans and support helped you exceed your expectations—your success is a true testament to your hard work and commitment.I always strive to provide a balanced approach to training, knowing when to push and when to prioritize recovery, and I’m thrilled that we found the right formula for you. It’s been a pleasure working with you, and I look forward to continuing to help you reach even greater milestones. Thank you for trusting me with your triathlon and Ironman journey—here’s to many more achievements ahead!—Sara Dimmick, USA Triathlon Coach, Personal TrainerFounder and Co-Owner Physical Equilibrium

I've been working with Sara for the last few months and she has been great! I just completed the Ironman Maryland and was able to surpass my goal, qualifying for the world championships. Sara was instrumental in helping me get there. She took the time to understand my goals, create a custom plan tailored to me and was there to adjust or talk if anything changed. I highly recommend her. She also introduced to me Marisa (PT) who was very helpful in rehabbing me when I had a calf strain 3 weeks before the race. Thank you both, Sara and Marisa. Look forward to seeing what we can accomplish in the future.

Response from the owner 22:02 01 Oct 24

I’ve been coming to Lift Club at Physical Equilibrium for about a year now. The trainers are super knowledgeable, and I always learn something new at every session. As a 30 something year old woman, getting into weight lifting and finding the right gym can be intimidating, but this place is anything but. Everyone is welcoming, and the space is very clean with top of the line equipment. It’s never too crowded. Lift club is small group personal training, but you still get a lot of one on one attention. They also do personal training. The trainers really care. Sara and Zach are excellent, but you really can’t go wrong with anyone here. I’m so much stronger and healthier than before I started coming here.

I have been so pleased with my time training at Physical Equilibrium with Zach. He has gotten me where I hoped to go in terms of all body conditioning, plus some! I am able to run, hike, or climb without fear that my aging body will break down. Thank you, Zach! I have also gotten to know many of the other people at PE. It is such a lovely community inside of a fantastic facility. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I’ve been working with Sara and trainers at Physical Equilibrium for a decade. They are all about proper form and coaching to each persons individual needs. They are so reliable and trustworthy too! Would highly recommend this team.

Brittany Allen

Physical Equilibrium is my go to for a great workout! Lift Club is the perfect environment for small group training. Sara, Zach and all of the instructor focus on form while pushing me to get the most I can out of the work out. The work outs are customized depending on my weaknesses, what areas I would like to focus on and taking my current ailments into account. After about a year of training, I feel stronger than I ever have. Can not say enough about how great the team at PE is!

Sarah Braden

Have worked with Sara at PhysEq for a few years now and she has helped me achieve many different goals: Boston Qualifier, the Boston Marathon, my first two 70.3 Ironman, my first 140.6 Ironman and the New York City Marathon. These were all huge milestones for me and I believe Sara gave me the tools I needed to level up in distance running and endurance sports. Along with the training plans, she’s very responsive via text or phone with any questions I have regarding training. Through PhysEq I was connected with a great endurance dietician (Clare) and a great PT (Marisa).

I have had a great experience taking Pilates at PE with Amelia Bonvento. She is an excellent teacher with obvious understanding of Pilates and how it can be used as a tool to improve both flexibility and strength. Amelia thoughtfully plans each session so that the exercises build on the last session but are always innovative and never repetitive. Each week I feel like I am making progress in my routine and also challenging myself while enjoying the workout which is an ideal combination!
In addition, the PE facilities are friendly, well run, and extremely clean which is very appreciated.

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.

George Waters Jr

21:40 24 Oct 23

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!

Janet Robusto

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.

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!

Elizabeth O'Malley

17:57 20 Oct 23

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.
