Kendra is thrilled to be joining the team at Physical Equilibrium with 15 years of experience as a personal fitness trainer to her credit. Kendra has always had a thorough understanding of how the body moves, and how to keep it strong and healthy from her dance training. She graduated from East Carolina University on scholarship with a BFA in Dance Performance, then immediately made the move from North Carolina to the Big Apple to pursue her career in Musical Theatre. While in NYC she trained at Alvin Ailey, American Ballet Theatre, and Joffrey Ballet. Shows include the National and Asian Tours of 42nd Street, European Tours of Oklahoma! and Guys & Dolls, and Regional performances of A Chorus Line, Sweet Charity, Chicago, and Cabaret.
She is grateful that she has found another passion in Personal Training to help people reach their goals and feel their best in the process. A constant curiosity and interest of how to work with special situations, such as injury rehab, has been a focus for her. This had led to a variety of certifications for specific client needs.
These include:
Cancer Pre-Post Surgery Exercise from American College of Sports Medicine
Certified Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Specialist from National Academy of Sports Medicine.
Precision Nutrition Certified
Pilates mat
Pre- Post Natal
TRX and CoreFirst Resistance Band Training
She has also earned several certifications from Harkness Center For Dance Arts to rehabilitate dancers from their injuries getting them stage ready again.
Kendra listens to her clients and coaches with patience & compassion, along with a sense of humor, to make the process of change productive and enjoyable.
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!

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 wanted to highly recommend Kendra Madigan as a trainer. She is hardworking, knowledgeable, and makes strength training very efficient and a lot of fun! I look forward to our 7am workouts at Physical Equilibrium (conveniently located in midtown next to my office!).
