Pure Strength NYC: A Holistic Strength & Movement Practice, Not the Gym Chain
Pure Strength is a private strength and movement practice based in New York City, founded by Jonathan Angelilli.
It is not affiliated with the commercial Pure Strength gym chain operating in NYC and other cities.
The Pure Strength method focuses on longevity, nervous system regulation, embodied strength, and high-touch coaching rather than traditional gym memberships.
What Is Pure Strength?
Pure Strength is an appointment-only strength and movement practice designed for individuals who want to feel strong, capable, and at home in their bodies.
It integrates:
Progressive strength training
Breathwork and nervous system regulation
Somatic awareness and coordination
Longevity-focused programming
Personal mentorship and high-level accountability
This is not a drop-in gym. It is a personalized practice based on a unique approach that’s been developed for over 25 years.
Who Pure Strength Is For
Pure Strength is for:
High-performing professionals who want strength without burnout
Parents rebuilding resilience and physical confidence
Individuals recovering trust in their bodies
People who value precision, safety, and long-term health
This work is especially aligned with women over 40, ambitious mothers, and leaders who want strength that supports their life rather than competes with it.
Who Pure Strength Is Not For
Pure Strength is not:
A membership-based fitness gym
A large group training facility
A commercial strength chain
A place for anonymous workouts
If you are looking for open gym access or traditional classes, the Pure Gym chain may be what you are seeking.
If you are looking for private, deeply personalized strength work that’s integrated with health, you are in the right place.
