Penthouse Athletic Club is an elite in-building personal training service for Upper East Side residents. We come to your building gym and train you privately — no commute, no crowds, no waiting for equipment. Every session is one-on-one, scheduled around your life, and designed to deliver measurable results.
We serve the entire Upper East Side — from 59th to 96th Street, Fifth Avenue to the FDR Drive. This includes Yorkville, Lenox Hill, Carnegie Hill, and the zip codes 10021, 10028, and 10075. If you live on the Upper East Side, we train in your neighborhood — likely in your building.
Yes. Our model is built around training you in your building's private fitness center. Most luxury residential buildings on the Upper East Side have well-equipped gyms that go largely unused. We use that resource. If your building doesn't have a gym, reach out and we'll discuss options.
Yes. For existing clients who travel or relocate, we offer virtual training sessions via FaceTime or video call. We've maintained client relationships for 7+ years across distances. Virtual training is available as an add-on to in-building programs or as a standalone service.
Schedule a complimentary assessment — 30 minutes in your building gym. We evaluate your current fitness level, discuss your goals and timeline, and walk you through exactly what your program would look like. No obligation. No pressure. Just clarity.
We meet you in your building gym. We go through a movement screening, discuss your health history and any limitations, talk about your goals and timeline, and assess the equipment available in your building. By the end of 30 minutes you'll know exactly what your program looks like and what results you can expect.
If we're a good fit and there's availability, you can start within 72 hours of your assessment. We schedule sessions for the same days and times each week so your training becomes a non-negotiable part of your routine.
We ask new clients to complete a brief intake form before the assessment. This helps us understand your goals, building, and schedule before we meet — so the assessment time is used efficiently. You can apply at penthouseathletic.club/apply.
Private Personal Training starts at $3,200 per month for 12 sessions (3x per week). Semi-Private Training — for couples or partners — is $1,600 per person per month. Executive Nutrition Coaching is $400 per month. Our signature 12-Week Executive Makeover is $8,500 for the complete program. The Wedding Protocol is $7,200 for 8 weeks.
Your monthly fee includes all scheduled sessions (3x per week), custom programming updated monthly, weekly check-ins, basic nutritional guidance, and progress tracking. There are no hidden fees or add-ons required.
Yes. Follow your program for 4 weeks. If you don't see measurable results — on the scale, in the mirror, or in your performance — we'll refund 50% of your investment and train you for 4 additional weeks at no charge. We've never had to honor this guarantee.
The 12-Week Executive Makeover is a defined transformation program with a hard deadline — 90 days, 36 sessions, a complete nutritional protocol, and a guaranteed outcome. Regular private training is ongoing — ideal for clients who want consistent training after a transformation or who prefer a long-term approach from the start.
We ask for a 3-month initial commitment. This is the minimum timeframe to see the results we stand behind. After 3 months it's month-to-month with 30 days notice to cancel.
We arrive at your building 5 minutes before your scheduled time. Sessions run 50-60 minutes — a proper warm-up, the main program, and a cool-down. You're back in your apartment within the hour. No commute in. No commute out. Just focused work.
We've trained clients in building gyms with nothing but dumbbells and a cable machine and produced dramatic results. We assess your building's equipment before designing your program. If there's a genuine limitation we tell you before you commit — we'll never take your money if we can't deliver.
Three things: privacy, focus, and efficiency. At Equinox you're in a crowded gym, your trainer is splitting attention, and you're commuting 20-30 minutes each way. With PAC your trainer's full attention is on you, you're in your own building gym, and your commute is 30 seconds. The training is also more targeted — we're not running you through a generic program.
Your program is periodized — structured in phases that build on each other systematically. Sessions follow a consistent framework but loads, volumes, and movements progress over time. We're not random. We're not trying to keep you confused. We're trying to get you results.
We ask for 24 hours notice to reschedule. Life happens — travel, late meetings, family obligations. We work with your schedule. What we don't do is let cancellations become a pattern that derails your progress.
Most clients notice meaningful changes within the first 3-4 weeks — improved energy, better sleep, clothes fitting differently. Visible physique changes typically appear at 6-8 weeks. Dramatic transformation by 12 weeks. This timeline assumes you're following the program and the nutritional guidance.
Based on our client history, following the program consistently produces 15-25 lbs of fat loss and 4-8 lbs of muscle gain over 12 weeks. Individual results vary based on starting point, adherence, and nutrition. This is why we offer the guarantee — we're confident in the outcome.
No strict meal plans. We provide a nutritional framework that works with your Manhattan lifestyle — business dinners, client entertainment, travel included. Small, sustainable changes compound into significant results. The goal is to make nutrition simple, not complicated.
The PAC Bootcamp is a 6-week outdoor group training program in Central Park for Upper East Side residents. Maximum 10 participants. Sunday mornings. It's the same coaching philosophy as private training — no holding back, no cookie-cutter circuits — delivered in a small group setting at a more accessible price point.
UES residents who want to experience elite training before committing to private sessions, people who need the accountability of a group, and anyone who has been meaning to use Central Park as more than a walking route. It's also an excellent entry point for people considering private training.
Yes. PAC Bootcamp participants receive priority access to private training availability. If a spot opens up, Bootcamp alumni are offered it first.
