Physical Equilibrium — Local services in New York

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.

Mid-training I developed Planters Fasciitis. (Total bummer!) Sara immediately referred me to a medical specialist for review/insert and a PT group for ongoing assistance. I also had digestive issues at the start, where I was able to utilize Sarah Currie, another trainer at Physical Equilibrium, for nutrition advice.

After months or work and training, I was able to not only accomplish my time goal (a sub-4 hour marathon!) but to also achieved this goal without injury. It was amazing!!

Sara, Sarah and their resources are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They work with all types of athletes - from the extremely competitive to the novice - with professionalism and care.

I could not be more happy with my performance on the marathon, but I know I could not have achieved my goal without Sara and Physical Equilibrium. I...

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!...

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...
