Penthouse Athletic Club
Museum Mile. Central Park. Tree-lined streets. Prewar classics and modern luxury buildings that define sophisticated urban living.
Your building probably has a private gym. Maybe a beautiful one. With equipment that rivals commercial facilities. And it's likely sitting empty right now while you're considering another trip to Equinox.
You're paying $3,000-15,000/month in rent or maintenance fees. That gym is part of your investment.
Why are you also paying $250/month for Equinox?
Every UES building gym is funded by your monthly fees:
• Rental buildings: included in rent ($4,000-12,000/month)
• Co-ops: included in maintenance ($2,000-15,000/month)
• Condos: included in common charges ($1,500-8,000/month)
Then you also pay:
• Equinox membership: $250/month ($3,000/year)
• Plus commute time: 2+ hours/week (104 hours/year)
You're funding two gyms. Using neither effectively.
We fix this. Train in your building gym. Use what you're already paying for. Save time. Save money. Get better results.
Wherever you live on The Upper East Side, we're already training in your neighborhood. Likely in your building.

The Upper East Side Has The Best Building Gyms in Manhattan
Unlike downtown neighborhoods where building gyms are afterthoughts, UES building gyms are serious amenities:
Beautiful original spaces with crown molding, high ceilings, and well-maintained equipment. Co-op boards take building gyms seriously.
State-of-the-art fitness centers with Technogym equipment, Peloton bikes, and floor-to-ceiling windows with park or river views.
Dedicated fitness rooms that rival boutique studios. Some even have dedicated yoga/stretching rooms and locker facilities.

Private Equity Firm
Managing directors. Portfolio managers. Hedge fund partners. You work 60-80 hour weeks at firms downtown or in Midtown.
Commuting to Equinox after a 12-hour workday is the last thing you want to do. Training in your building gym = you're done in 60 minutes total from apartment door and back.
Surgeons. Specialists. Hospital administrators. Lenox Hill, Cornell Weill, NewYork-Presbyterian are all on the UES.
Your hours are unpredictable. Equinox class schedules are impossible. We train on YOUR schedule. Early morning. Late evening. Between shifts.
Senior partners at white-shoe law firms. You bill $1,000-2,000/hour.
Every hour wasted commuting to Equinox is $1,000-2,000 in lost billable time. Training in your building = 104 hours saved per year = $104,000-208,000 in opportunity cost recovered.
UES attracts successful professionals across industries. Museum curators. Nonprofit executives. Real estate developers.
You value efficiency and quality. We deliver both.
The choice is obvious.
UES residents value time above everything. You didn't achieve your success by wasting hours on inefficient systems.
Training in your building saves 104 hours per year. That's 2.6 full work weeks you're currently wasting commuting to Equinox.
You don't want to run into clients, colleagues, or competitors at Equinox. You don't want to network when you should be working out.
Your building gym offers complete privacy. No interruptions. No small talk. Just focused training.
The #1 reason people quit Equinox: commute friction. When it's raining. When it's cold. When you're tired. The commute becomes the excuse.
Your building gym eliminates friction. No weather. No commute. No excuses. Zero-friction consistency = results.
Q: Do you train across the entire Upper East Side?
A: Yes. We train clients from 59th to 96th Street, from Fifth Avenue to the FDR. Lenox Hill, Carnegie Hill, Yorkville, and all UES zip codes (10021, 10028, 10075). If you're on the UES, we train in your area.
Q: What if my building gym is small or limited?
A: We've created transformations in tiny UES building gyms with just dumbbells and a bench. Size doesn't limit results. We bring portable equipment (resistance bands, TRX) if needed. What matters is consistency and programming, not gym size.
Q: I live in a doorman building with strict visitor policies. Will this work?
A: Yes. Most of our UES clients live in doorman buildings. You simply add us to your permanent approved visitor list (same as any service provider). Building management approves personal trainers routinely.
Q:Can you train me very early (5:30-6am) before work?
A: Absolutely. Many UES professionals train 5:30-6:15am before heading downtown to offices. You're showered and dressed by 7am, already ahead of everyone else.
Q: I work unpredictable hours (finance/medicine/law). Can you accommodate?
A: Yes. We train early morning (5:30am), late evening (9pm), and everything in between. We build schedules around YOUR availability, not fixed class times.
Q: How does pricing compare to Equinox + personal training?
A: Equinox membership: ~$250/month. Personal training at Equinox: $150-350/session. For 12 sessions/month you'd pay $2,050-4,450 total. We're $3,200/month all-inclusive with private in-building training.
Q: Can my spouse/partner train with me for a discount?
A: Yes. Semi-private training is $1,600/month per person (vs. $3,200 for private). You both get 12 sessions/month, same programming, split the cost. Very popular with UES couples.
Q: I travel frequently for business. Can we pause training?
A: We don't offer pause/freeze, but we do offer rescheduling with 24-hour notice. Many traveling executives train intensively when in NYC (4x/week) and maintain remotely when traveling.
Q: What if I need complete discretion due to my profile?
A: We sign NDAs if required. Many high-profile UES clients value privacy. Your training is confidential. We never discuss clients or breach confidentiality.
Q: I'm over 55. Is intense training safe?
A: Most of our UES clients are 45-65 years old. Training is adapted to your fitness level and any limitations. We've transformed executives in their 60s and 70s. Age is not a barrier.
You live on the Upper East Side because you've achieved success that affords you Manhattan's best addresses.
Your building gym is part of that investment.
Stop paying twice for fitness. Stop wasting time commuting to crowded Equinox locations.
Start training in the private gym you're already funding.
P.S. We only accept 3 new transformation clients per month across all of the Upper East Side. If you're anywhere from 59th to 96th Street and ready to commit to results that match your success, secure your spot now.
