Personal Training at 82nd & Broadway
PWR 82 sits on Broadway between 82nd and 83rd Street — the quieter of our two Upper West Side rooms, and the one clients choose when they want an unhurried hour.

Between 82nd & 83rd Street
A quieter room on Broadway
Where PWR 72 is the bigger strength floor, PWR 82 is the calm room. It was set up around one-on-one work: a private space, conversational volume, and enough equipment that a session never has to compromise on the plan.
That makes it a natural first stop for clients who are new to lifting, coming back after time away, or training through pregnancy and postpartum — anyone who would rather not learn in front of an audience.
Training here
What you can train at PWR 82
1:1 Personal Training
The core of what happens here: one coach, one client, a private room and a program written for you.
Duet Training
Two people, one coach, one session — popular with couples and neighbours who train together.
Group Strength
Classes here are capped at 6, so the format stays close to coached training rather than a class you follow along with.
The Broadway corridor
In the heart of the Broadway corridor near Zabar's, the American Museum of Natural History and Riverside Park, PWR 82 serves the West 70s through the low 90s — including the Apthorp, Belnord and Riverside Drive blocks.
Practically speaking, it is the studio most convenient to the West 80s and low 90s — an easy stop on the way home from Zabar's, the Museum of Natural History or a Riverside Park walk.
Getting here
- 1 at 79th Street or 86th Street & Broadway — about 4 minutes on foot
- B, C at 81st Street & Central Park West — about 8 minutes on foot

Pregnancy through postpartum
"I trained with Emily throughout my entire pregnancy. She knew exactly when to push me and when I needed to take it easy but still move my body. Now that I'm postpartum, it's been great having her guide me in building my strength back up."
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."
