Came here for the first time for a barre class and had so much fun! Nicole was an excellent instructor and took the time to walk around and correct our form throughout the class. Barre is wonderful low-impact workout that anyone can do with minimal equipment. This class also incorporates a lot of stretching, which I appreciate. The changing rooms are very upscale and stocked with dry shampoo, hair ties, body lotion, etc.

Best boutique fitness studio in this neighborhood - highly recommend! Convenient location, easy registration and check-in, modern interior decor with beautiful natural light flooding the studio, high-end finishes and most importantly: an all-star crew of instructors and staff! This studio offers a perfectly balanced curriculum and the members can choose from a variety of barre, dance/cardio and yoga classes throughout the day. Great little hidden gem in the UES! I started trying it out with their first-timer promotion for two weeks and have been addicted ever since! As a hardcore barre practitioner, I’ve frequented all major studios all over Manhattan and this one definitely tops my list! You’ll be noticeably lighter, leaner and stronger after just a couple of classes - amazing results!

Clean and inviting studio. I did the barre/toned class. Excellent and fun workout suitable for all levels. The Instructor Nicole was very friendly and made great modifications/adjustments throughout which was appreciated. Will definitely be back!

Honestly, I am reluctant to share how great Elements is and how terrific the instructors are. I always feel accomplished (and relieved!) when I finish a class. My one knock is that more thought could be given to the music. Some instructors have really good grooves; others seem not to have put a huge amount of energy into the music they choose. A fantastic, professional place.

The virtual classes were frustrating to attend—poor streaming, bad audio, and no real engagement. If the goal is to create community, this format isn’t working.
