Group Strength
A coached, full-body strength class in a room small enough to still feel personal — capped at 10 at PWR 72 and 6 at PWR 82. Drop in, no membership, all experience levels welcome.
What it is
Group Strength is a full-body strength class led by a PWR coach. Everybody works through the same programming — your coach handles the weight selection, the technique cues and the modifications so the session fits you.
A PWR coach runs the warm-up, the main strength work and the finisher — correcting form and adjusting load as the class moves.
10 at PWR 72, 6 at PWR 82. Small enough that your coach knows your name, your history and what you lifted last week.
Single classes and class packs. Train the weeks you're in town; skip the ones you're not.
Every exercise comes with a modification and a progression, so your first class is never a guessing game.
Push, pull, hinge, squat and carry across the week — real barbell, dumbbell and machine strength work, not a cardio class in disguise.
The same faces week to week. Community is a big part of why people keep coming back to Group Strength.

You don't need a training background to take a Group Strength class. Arrive a few minutes early, tell your coach about anything they should know, and they'll set your starting loads and swap any movement that doesn't suit you that day.
Prefer to learn the lifts one-on-one first? Many people pair classes with personal training or start with beginner strength training.

Client stories
Started strength training later in life
"Everything I've read about longevity points to the importance of weight training, so I decided to give it a try… now I'm completely hooked. Emily is lovely, inspiring, and an incredibly skilled teacher. The gym itself is inclusive, positive, and genuinely welcoming — every body truly feels at home here."
The private gym environment
"After working out with Carolyn for many years, I just had my first session at the new PWR NYC studio. Quiet and clean, it enhances the personalized service that Carolyn delivers. PWR NYC has more equipment than large national gyms that I have worked out in."
