Why Strength Training?

When it comes to cycling, having strong muscles is crucial. Strength training not only improves your power output, but it also helps prevent injuries and enhances your overall performance. By incorporating weight lifting into your training routine, you’ll be able to tackle those tough hills and sprint to the finish line with ease.

Introducing Lift Club

At Physical Equilibrium, we understand the unique needs of cyclists and triathletes. That’s why we’ve created Lift Club, our small group weight lifting classes tailored specifically for cyclists and triathletes, in New York City. Led by our experienced trainers, Lift Club focuses on exercises that target the muscles used most during cycling, including the legs, core, and upper body.

During Lift Club sessions, you’ll learn proper weight lifting techniques and form, ensuring that you perform each exercise safely and effectively. Our trainers will guide you through a variety of exercises, including squats, deadlifts, lunges, and shoulder presses, all designed to improve your cycling performance.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.
