Personal Trainer Yorkville | In-Building Training — Penthouse Athletic Club

You chose Yorkville for authenticity, not pretension. Stop commuting 20 blocks south to Equinox — your building gym is 30 seconds from your door.

Yorkville.

You live in Yorkville because you value authenticity over pretension. You chose a neighborhood where you can actually walk to Fairway, grab coffee at Orwashers, and take your dog to Carl Schurz Park without fighting tourist crowds.

So why are you commuting 20 blocks south to Equinox on 74th Street? Your building has a gym. It's probably empty right now — and you're wasting two-plus hours a week traveling to a crowded facility where you wait for equipment and dodge influencers filming content.

There's a better way. If you're between York Avenue and the FDR, between 79th and 96th Street, we're already training in your neighborhood. Probably in your building.

The Problem

Why Yorkville Residents Struggle with Fitness.

  • An unused Equinox membership. You joined on 74th & York, but between work and family you've used it maybe 30 times this year — that's $100 per visit for a membership you're still paying $250/month for.

  • An inconsistent building gym routine. Your building has a perfectly good gym, but without structure or programming it's twenty minutes on the treadmill and some random dumbbells. No real progress.

  • 201 miles of unnecessary walking a year. Live at 88th & York and it's 28 blocks round trip to Equinox, three times a week — over 4,000 blocks annually just to access a gym.

  • Crowds, waiting for equipment, and dodging influencers filming content instead of just finishing your set.

You don't need another Equinox membership. You need training 30 seconds from your apartment door.

Frequently Asked Questions

Personal Training in Yorkville: Common Questions.

Do you train in buildings between 79th and 96th Street?

Yes. We currently train clients throughout Yorkville from 79th Street up to 96th Street, from York Avenue to the FDR. Most of our Yorkville clients are between 84th-92nd Streets.

What if my building gym is small or doesn't have much equipment?

Most Yorkville building gyms have everything we need: dumbbells, a bench, and floor space. We bring resistance bands, TRX, and other portable equipment if needed. We've created incredible transformations in gyms with just basic equipment.

Can you train me at Carl Schurz Park or Asphalt Green?

We specialize in private in-building training, but we can incorporate outdoor training at Carl Schurz Park for conditioning work during good weather. Asphalt Green requires their own trainer certifications, so we focus on your building gym.

I'm near the 86th Street Q train station. Do you train in that area?

Absolutely. We have multiple clients in buildings around 86th & Second Avenue. The Q train proximity makes it easy for us to reach you, and easy for you to never need Equinox again.

How does pricing compare to Equinox + a trainer?

Equinox membership in Manhattan runs about $250/month. Personal training at Equinox is $150-350/session. For 12 sessions/month you'd pay $2,050-4,450 plus membership. Our private training is $3,200/month total with no membership fees, no commute, and private attention.

What if I have a doorman building with strict visitor policies?

We work with doorman buildings daily. You simply add us to your approved visitor list. Most buildings allow regular service providers, which includes personal trainers, without needing approval each visit.

Can my spouse/partner join sessions for a discount?

Yes. Semi-private training is $1,600/month per person (vs. $3,200 for private). You both get the same 12 sessions per month, same intensity, split the cost. Popular option for Yorkville couples.

I work from home in Yorkville. Can we train mid-day?

Perfect. Mid-day sessions (10am-2pm) are ideal for work-from-home professionals. Your building gym is usually completely empty. Train during lunch, shower in your apartment, back to work in 90 minutes total.

Do you offer early morning sessions before 7am?

Yes. Many Yorkville clients train 6:00-6:45am before work. We're in your building gym, you're showered and dressed by 7:15am, and you've already accomplished more than most people will all day.

What's the cancellation policy if I need to reschedule?

24-hour notice required. We understand schedules change — kids get sick, work emergencies happen. With 24-hour notice, we'll reschedule. Same-day cancellations count as a used session.
